Prologue:

 

The airport was a very busy place at noon, everyone was rushing and scurrying about to catch their flights, get their tickets and luggage. A young girl with long brown hair and sky blue eyes that sparkled, with her innocent and caring nature. She stood near Gate No.435 waiting for her flight to Hong Kong, China. To be ready to accept passengers, like her. She was very excited, to finally be going somewhere without having to be sheltered by her friends, she felt she needed to spread her wings. That time was now.

 

“Miss Honda!” A polite male voice called out. Tohru turned around, smiling. A young man not much older than herself was running towards her, being extra careful not to bump into any girls or women on the way. He had short pale lavender hair and deep purple eyes, full of mystery but also a deep hurt. He was quite tall for he's age. He was also wearing a white shirt, and pale blue jeans and his hair was a mess.

 

“Yuki! What are doing here?” Tohru called out, walking towards him slowly. Yuki Sohma the rat of the Sohma family, slowed down to a halt. Almost crashing into Tohru, which wouldn't have been good, considering where they were. Breathing a little heavily, he answered, “Someone had to come and see you off. Besides I wanted to say….” He eyes went cold and glared, and he spun around.

 

“Be careful in that place.” A voice called from afar, arrogantly. Tohru turned to her left, and another male about the same age, came sauntering towards them. He had bright orange hair and was wearing black jeans and a dark green shirt. He had dark red coloured eyes that hid many secrets and again many hurts. He was grinning slightly as he walked towards them. “Stupid cat.” Yuki sneered. “Right back at you, rat.” The other male retorted. Yuki growled, glaring at the male beside him.

 

“Kyo!” Tohru said excitedly. “Yo.” Was all she got in return, which was good enough for her, considering he wasn't the talkative type, “Passengers boarding flight to Hong Kong, China. Please go to Gate No.435 please. Thank you,” A voice called out to everyone. Tohru turned to Gate No.435; she then turned back to Kyo and Yuki. “Well guys, that's my cue. Don't worry I'll be careful, what could possibly happen?” Tohru said care freely.

 

Kyo and Yuki just looked at each other, with concerned expressions plastered on their faces. “Yeah, whatever. You're going to miss your flight you know.” Kyo disregarded his concern, roughly. “Yes, Miss Honda. You'd best hurry along; you don't want to miss the flight now, do you?” Yuki ushered her towards the Gate. “Now be safe and have a good time, alright?” He continued. Tohru nodded, waving at Yuki, then Kyo. Kyo's face had a slight smile on when Tohru waved at him. Then she walked along and entered the corridor of Gate 435 that led to the plane entrance.

 

 

 

Tohru was wandering around the old village of Shi-wan, just outside Hong Kong. Her plane had landed a few hours before, and she was getting used to her surroundings. She was walking to the central section of Shi-wan when she saw a girl just a year or so younger than her calling up at a tree. In the tree, was a cat, with bright orange fur, meowing as it clung to the branch. “Saya! Come down here now, kitty!” The girl was shouting up at the cat.

 

Beside her was a black dog and on the dogs head sat a little rat, squeaking like there was no tomorrow, which made it seem like it was laughing at the cat's misfortune. The cat above hissed at the rat. The girl turned around and glared at the rat, “You leave Saya alone, stupid rat.” The rat recoiled from the girls glare, and was silenced. The dog whimpered under the ferocity of the girls glare at the rat.

 

“Excuse me; do you need help getting your cat down?” Tohru asked politely. “You leave him alone as well!” The girl replied. “But…I haven't done anything?” Tohru said, unsure. “Well don't you dare, try too. Saya will come down when I want him too. Right, Saya? That means now!” She shouted up at the cat, the cat meowed in response. “He looks like he could use someone to go up and get him down. Don't worry I'll do it.” Tohru offered.

 

Tohru took her jacket off and set it down on the floor. She took her shoes off and ran over to the tree. “Hey, what are you doing!? Don't you dare go up there, or you'll be sorry!!” The girl threatened. But Tohru was paying no heed and started to climb the tree to the cat. She climbed and climbed, till she was on the branch the cat was on. “Come here, Saya. It's alright.” Tohru urged gently. The cat looked at her untrustingly. “Come on, Saya. Don't worry I won't hurt you.” Tohru persisted. The cat looked down at the girl, glaring up at Tohru, muttering something under her breath.

 

The cat looked at Tohru sadly then, and walked towards her. He looked at her, and licked her face, purring as she took a hold of him. Then Tohru began her descent downwards to the ground. As she reached the ground the girl ran and grabbed Saya out of Tohru's arms and pushed Tohru away. Tohru fell to the ground; she started to get up as the girl whispered some strange words and after she said “I told you, you'd be sorry if you interfered.” Just as she said that a light shone around Tohru making her dizzy. Then it disappeared as fast as it appeared and the girl was gone. “What in the world?” Tohru wondered. Tohru stood, though rather shakily. She called for a cab, to take her to Xian hotel.

 

 

 

 

As sunrise came, and rain was pouring from the heavens, as if the heavens themselves were crying at the fate that had taken a hold of Tohru when she saved that cat from the tree. Tohru slept most of the day and she woke, everything was banging and ringing in her ears, the smells around her were so strong and made her dizzy, she could also sense something strange about the hotel, and the village she had visited yesterday. As she tried to get up she fell out of bed. `What on earth? Why can't I stand up?' Tohru thought.

 

She then looked down at her hands, or what she thought were her hands. All she saw was dark brown fur, and what looked like, no what were paws! She started to panic, she tried to stand on her legs again, but soon fell over once again. She turned her head to look at her legs and well, they weren't human legs that's for sure, they had dark brown fur on them as well, as she looked down towards her feet, she saw dark brown paws like her hands were.

 

Tohru stood on all fours this time, panicking greatly now. She uneasily walked towards where the mirror was in the room, on the dressing table, she put her paws onto the dressing table and tried to get the mirror with them. It was a no go, it just fell over. She bent further over to the mirror and nudged it with her face, to the edge. Once the edge of the mirror, was over the edge of the dressing table. Tohru took the mirror in her mouth to grab a hold of it, as she couldn't use her paws to grab it. She dropped it on the floor carefully.

 

She bent her head over it, what she saw which made her startle and whimper. Her face, had changed also, it was the face of a dog. Dark brown, with floppy ears and bluish eyes. She looked like a Sheep dog. She panicked and tried to speak, but all the came out was a “Woof! Woof!” She nearly jumped out of her fur at the sound. `Oh no! I can't speak! What am I going to do!? Oh my god!' Her mind went on in a frenzy. Then she just collapse, crying. Though to those that weren't dogs, all they heard was a heartbroken howl.
