WARNING: This is so AU in the later chapters and all that. Oh well. I don't own the show, but fanfiction gives me rights to change it a bit.. All cause I stated I don't own it. I don't own the Zodiac, Fruits Basket, Kazuharu, Naitto, Kaiya, or Neon. They're owned by their respective owners. I own Ziarra though. Fanart is fun though, so if you send some, I'll love you forever.

"Ziarra!" A loud male voice screamed throughout the Japanese style compound.
A white haired female child looked up from her bed, a mass of bangs falling over one of her red eyes. A slight crazed smile pulled onto her lips. So... It was finally time, huh? Time to lose all remainders of her sanity? No matter how small the remainder was?
Only one word entered the albino's mind.
Fun.
Ziarra sat up, the blanket falling around her body. She pushed herself out of the bed towards her dresser, pulling along the blanket. She pulled open the drawer and took out a large shirt and shorts. The girl put them on and walked down the hall where her opposite stood...
...Her father.
Her father was a tall, large man with black shoulder length hair and sky blue eyes. His eyes would send anyone shivers... All of the cruelty in them...
Ziarra was used to it.
The younger one stared up at her father emotionlessly,"Yes father?"
Her father smiled rather crookedly,"You know what today is?"
Ziarra stared at him and nodded in irony,"Yes."
"And what day is it, my oldest?"
"My fifth birthday."
Her father frowned. Where was the fear? Were was the fear in her eyes? Dammit. He grabbed her arm and dragged hr down the hall towards the cellar stairs. He uncaringly pushed her down them.
Ziarra closed her eyes and smiled as her body was bruised and broken. Oh... Fun... Pain... Just beautiful. And there was more pain to come... It's all so beautiful..
The five-year-old had no time to continue thinking of what was to come when her ponytail was grabbed. She didn't let one scream out as her father cursed her in name of the clan. One thought echoed throughout her mind...
I 'I pity my siblings...' /I
