Yami-No-Neko

I have only been in the city of Rhy'Din for a short amount of time and my time here has been interesting and a learning experience for me. I now consider this place my home, and the people who life here my family.

I have not always lived in the city as most of you all would know. My family was resided in a small village a few days trip north of the city. Origionally I have no idea where my family came from all I know is that the relm of Rhy'Din was not always our home.

I loved and still love my family more than anything in the world. My mother was strong and independent for a neko lady. Firey temper when needed but she was the sweetest woman alive in my eyes. She taught me how to play the piano, how to cook, and most importantly how to be independed. Not like the fact that I was more into sword fighting as a girl than playing with dolls like the rest of them, but she was still happy that I was becoming the independent girl she always wanted me to be.

My father was a warrior. Very wise and strong when he fought. He taught me every fighting technique I could learn. Loving the fact that I wanted to fight along side my twin brother Yama, but insisting that I should at least try to be a lady sometimes. Thanks to my mother and Father I am quite a combination. None the less my father was the reason I was able to survive this long....teaching me never to give up your life to another.

My little sister, Chika, was the cutest little neko in the world. She looked like my mother, much like Yama did. Her hair was black and she had gray ears and a gray tail. Her favorite thing in the world was a little bell that Yama and I gave her. I now wear that bell all the time....never letting it out of my site.

Yama, my twin brother even though he is blind he is still a fighter. He is still alive and reisdes in Rhy'Din with me.

To make an incredibly long story and long story I am going to skip details about my day and the reason why Yama and I weren't home when my family was killed. Yama was off fighting and I was working for a family across the village.

I came home that night to see Kiyoshi, a lycan....wealthy one at that standing in front of my house. I was confused, yes he came by a lot but it was normally for business deals with my bounty hunter of a father. Kiyoshi took me by the hand and explained to me about someone murdering my family. I didn't believe it but I had to see for myself, I saw it alright. My father was in bed and my mother was on the floor. Throats cut open and they were apparently bled dry. Walking into my sister's room she was still alive amazingly still bleeding at that point, I just rocked her in my arms until she passed away. Kiyoshi told me to live with him, to prevent me suffering the same fate.

Later him and I fell in love and were married before my 18th birthday. On my 18th birthday my servant gave me a book and told me to read it on my next birthday....she later would kill herself within that year.

That book changed my life for the worse, but later things would look better. I sat and read the book that night of my 19th birthday....it was Kiyoshi's diary....full of letters to his clan leader on the deaths of my family....all at his hand. I cried when I read it....I couldn't believe the man I loved and married was responsible for the family's death. When Kiyoshi saw me reading the diary he wanted me dead to finally cover all of the evidince.

So him and I fought to the death, a simple sword battle that would also change the course of my life. I killed him that night and let his body lay on the bed where we shared so many nights together. As I walked out of the house my head was spinning. I was covered in his blood, my blood, and my tears. I would later pass out from blood loss but someone fixed me up and I would wake up in the forest, not ever knowing who saved me.

I still miss him...every day of my life. I later found out I was to have his child but it died early in the pregnancy. Years I spent roaming around this relm to find a place to call home, which I finally found when I came to this city.
