Kuramawas born in the town of Xi'an in 1916. We had the same mother and his father, Akihito, was Japanese. I'm not sure what happened, but before Kurama was born some business partner of his caused him to commit suicide. You see, he grew up without a father, too, Shiang. Anyway, our mother soon became ill and she ended up dying. This was 1923. After the funeral, it would be years before I would see Kurama again...

Xi'an, 1923...

It was gloomy, cloudy morning. The mother of Kurama and Gao Li was about to be buried.

Seven-year-old Kurama simply looked at the coffin. He wiped the tears off his face and put a bouquet of roses on the coffin, before coffin was covered up by the dirt.

Little Gao Li, who was two years younger than Kurama, cried his eyes out.

Kurama walked up to his half-brother and said, "Don't worry, Li. Mama's in heaven, now. She can watch over us." And the two boys hugged.

Gao Li's father couldn't take care of him, so he just took Gao Li and left. And so Kurama was in custody of his aunt, Yin, along with his uncle Qi and his cousin Mei (who was a year older than Kurama). They were to move back to Shanghai tomorrow.

Kurama was looking at the sky from his bed when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Kurama dear? Are you asleep?" Aunt Yin asked.

"No, Aunt Yin," the boy answered.

Aunt Yin opened the door and sat on the bed with Kurama. They both looked at the night sky.

She then smiled. "I know you're going to miss Xi'an, but you'll love Shanghai, too."

Kurama looked up at his aunt, "Really?"

"Oh yes! It's a lovely place! There are lots of wonderful places and good schools, and Mei would just love to have you around."

Kurama pouted. "She teases me a lot..."

"Is that so!...Well...she got that from me, I'll give her that...that naughty girl...Well, sleep well, hon," she smiled.

Suddenly, Uncle Qi walked in along with Mei. Annoyed, Aunt Yin sighed, "What in god's name are you two doing here? And Mei, it's way passed your bedtime!"

"But I wanna say goodnight to Kurama!" the little girl protested.

"And I want to explain some thing to the boy," Uncle Qi added.

Aunt Yin simply glared at them...

Uncle Qi and Mei flashed puppy dog eyes at her...

"Oh ALL RIGHT! Sheesh!"

Kurama giggled. These people were very funny...

"Sonny! Do you know what an inheritance is?"

"Now you know darn well he's too young to know what that is!" Aunt Yin protested.

Kurama looked down on the bed. "It's money," he answered.

Uncle Qi was a bit taken back by the answer. "Well...technically yes, but it's everything else, really." And then he pulled out something. It was a mandolin. "This was you father's." He handed the mandolin to Kurama. "You do know how to play a mandolin, right?"

Kurama shook his head no.

"You don't! Well, here's a surprise..."

"Everyone knows how to play a mandolin, Kurama!" Mei added.

"Oh, hush, you two!" Aunt Yin said. "Not everybody can...and besides, little Kurama may have a gift of his own. Everyone has a gift, you know! Mei can dance, I can sing...Qi...well...er...you like to annoy some people...ahem..."

"Hey!" Uncle Qi protested. Then he turned to Kurama. "If was your father's gift, you know."

Kurama nodded.

Aunt Yin looked up at the clock. "Oh dear! It's late! We better hit the sheets!" And then she shoved Uncle Qi and Mei out of the room.

"Goodnight, Kurama!" They all shout before the door was closed, leaving Kurama alone.

Kurama continued to stare at the night sky.

The stars were bright that night, twinkling so bright, the sky was almost blue.

Well, Kurama continued to stare at it, unsure of what the future will bring him.

But he didn't care what the future will bring him, for he was ready for a new life...
