• Looking at the star

    She realises how small she is in this world

    Full of chaos and violence

    Then she feels something deep in her heart

    Starts to grow

    Pain

    Having been through so much hardship

    She thought that pain is something she will never get to know

    But she was wrong

    'Impossible'

    She says to herself

    But

    It starts to consume her soul bit by bit

    Bringing back

    All the feelings that she casted away long ago

    ...

    The warmth of her mother

    The gentle pat of her godmother

    An old lady who took her in on that rainy day

    Whose last words still echo in her mind

    'May you find all the strength you need, koneko chan'

    ...

    'You're a wild cat now, so be strong'

    She told herself

    But things were easy said than done

    Life was not as easy as it had been for her

    She tried her best

    To survive in this cruel world

    But it was not enough

    After all

    She was a complete stranger to this side of the world

    Then

    Like a fairy tale

    A prince came and took her to his castle

    ...

    Kuro was his name

    A black cat

    With an X scar on his fore head

    He took care of her

    Protected her from all the danger

    Always stayed by her side

    'I'm yours Kuro

    And I'm never going to leave your side'

    She thought as they kissed under the moonlight

    ...


    Waking up

    She smiled at her dear husband

    But

    A mix of anger and and worry was deep in his eyes

    'Run', he said

    Then

    She could hear a wolf's howling

    Realised what was going on

    She turned to him

    With teary eyes

    She said

    'Kuro, I won't leave you-'

    But he was gone

    ...

    She could hear it

    The dreadful sound of the fight

    And all she could do

    Was praying

    Then

    There was silence

    ...

    'I'm sorry...'

    'You don't have to say anything, Kuro.I-'

    'Look like I've taught them a lesson huh?'

    'Y-You sure do, Kuro.B-but-'

    'I know my dear, please forgive me...'

    'No,I won't...I won't...I-'

    'Please don't cry...the last thing I want is to see my dear wife crying'

    'T-Then stay with me...I'll smile for you...always...just don't...'

    'I-I'm sorry...'

    'Please Kuro...I don't want to be alone again...I-I-'

    'You're not alone my dear...I'll always be by your side...'

    'Oh,Kuro...I love you so much...'

    'I...love...you...'

    ...

    She couldn't remember

    How long she had been wandering

    How many towns and cities she had passed by

    She thought that she had lost

    All her feelings and emotions that day

    But now

    Looking at the stars on the night sky

    She realises that she'll never be able to forget it all

    No matter how hard she tried
