Black and White
Kyou Sohma sighed and leaned back to rest on the roof of the house. He gazed up into the night sky and contemplated the turn of events. She had seen his other form; not the cute furry orange cat, but the horribly ugly demon that you could smell from a mile away. Sure, she had been afraid… who wouldn't have been? But she had tracked him down and looked for him even after he had turned tail and fled. Her courage made him love her even more. God he loved her. He loved every single thing; her voice, her attitude, her beauty, even her naïveté.
Kyou sighed again and ran his hand through his orange locks. Frustration filled him. He looked at the beaded bracelet on his wrist. Black white black white, those were the twelve round beads that held the vengeful spirit inside of him in check. He couldn't remember where he had gotten them from. Probably from the old cat, Kazuma's grandfather. He hated that bracelet with a passion. So many times he had longed to cast off the beads and break the hold they had on him… but the consequences of that single act would be horrifying. The few times he had actually changed into that accursed form had stuck out in his memory. He remembered the first time he had changed. He tried to attend the New Years banquet; he was five. He had snuck in and Akito had found him. Akito pushed him out of the hall and into the courtyard. Akito threw him to the dirt and pulled off the beads.
It was like something was eating Kyou from the inside. The pain was excruciating. And the smell "Like something dead and rotting" … that was worse than the pain. Seeing his mother, horror struck, vomit from the awful smell that was coming from HIM… And all during the transformation was Akito, watching him go through all that with that disgustingly smug look on his face.
Kyou rolled over on his side; he would probably fall asleep up here again. He felt so stifled in his room. Sometimes it was hard to breathe in there. If it was this hard just being in his room, what would it be like when Akito locked him away? The thought of it terrified him so much. The fear of imprisonment; of never being able to see her again…
Kyou grunted with displeasure. It was all that Damn Rat's fault; everything. He was the one everyone adored; he was perfect, everything Kyou wasn't. The Rat wasn't going to get locked away! The Rat wasn't going to be robbed of a future! And that Damn Rat didn't have to wear this dammed bracelet!
Kyou was fuming now. He wanted to drive his fist right through the roof and right into Yuki's face while he was at it. "God Dammit!" Kyou cried aloud. The urge to rip that bracelet off his wrist was overwhelming. But once again, the knowledge of the consequences held him back, although an idea occurred to him while the memories of last week had floated through his mind. "I could probably beat Yuki in my other form…"

Alishmagna here. Hows everybody liking the first chapter? Just a warning, chapters are going to be pretty short because im going to be updating more often. Don't worry, im not going to turn Kyou into some sadist bent on destroying Yuki or anything. I'm gonna try and keep everybody in character. If I don't, you have permission to slap me (not very hard). So let me know what you guys think, I haven't decided the pairings yet so give me suggestions alrighty? Ali out!
