Chapter 2
Ichigo awoke in her bed. She felt her tear-stained face as it reminded her of her cat ears. She never truly knew the reason why she had them, but that wasn't important to her. Ichigo just wanted them to go away so she could be like everyone else.
Rolling over, Ichigo found a hand scribbled note.
Ichigo, I left for the invention fair. It's a last minute entry, but I think it might win!
Be good,
Your Father
She felt proud of her father's determination to win and silently said a prayer for his victory. Ichigo decided it was time for breakfast and left to gather the eggs.
That room was always messy. His belongings always thrown around like they were the garbage of the day. He didn't care though. Ryou had been like this ever since his parents had died. "Why did they die? How come I couldn't help them? I'm the reason for their death." These thoughts played through his head nonstop. Thinking he was the cause of his misery he fell into a deep depression ignoring all human contact and love. Bitterness over swept him causing him to be cold and uncaring even for the poor.
Flashback
"Please Sir, it's terribly cold outside. May I have shelter for the night?" The old lady was terribly disfigured with one eye larger than the other and bent over like Quasimodo.
"Pfht! Be gone old hag! I despise people such as you." Ryou started to close the door when a blinding light engulfed him. The old hag transformed into a beautiful enchantress with long flowing hair and a long dress that seemed to shine like Mother of Pearl.
"Heartless prince, until you learn to love like you once did you will be cursed. The curse shall be that whenever you think of yourself you shall take the form of a cat. This curse can be broken until your sixteenth birthday." With that speech, she vanished. She left behind a magic mirror that would allow him to look at the world outside of his castle and to see people that he had learned to hate.
End Flashback
It had been two years since that night and his sixteenth birthday was only a year away. Ryou knew that someone falling in love with him was impossible and that he would always live alone and unwanted.
