Someone once said for every good there must be something equally as bad. For every light there must be a shadow, and for every right there was a wrong. In that sense if the town of RokuBell was the good, then the forest near its entrance definitely qualified as itâs bad. Everything about the forest screamed bad. From the way the trees grew so eerily tall, to the wild animal noises that could be heard almost all the time, to the way that it always seemed dark.
There were many tales about the forest, those that were designed to keep little children from trying to explore it. Whether or not it was merely a childâs bed time story or more was long unknown, but the people of RokuBell tended to stay away from that particular forest anyways⊠it was evil to them.
However, deep within the forests boundaries there was someone who would have to disagree with the townspeople. His hair was a light tan-ish color and had a few twigs and leaves from the nearby trees tangled within it. He wore a simple blue zip-up vest over a white short-sleeve t-shirt, and khaki shorts that almost matched his hair. On his feet were a pair of worn black sandals, but he didnât seem to mind the state of him.
The brightest and prettiest shade of blue eyes glanced around with delight at the woody surroundings. It would appear that he was lost, why else would a normal boy of his short-stature be wandering through the woods when he should be at school? In fact he was not normal. The thing that stood out most about him was the black furred tail that waved from behind him, and the black furred ears that perched upon his tan hair. At first glance people would think they were a costume, which people often did. ButâŠthe truth was the animal parts were entirely real. The boy was in fact, a neko.
His name was Kataro, he couldnât recall a last name, but people who chanced a talk with him would say it sounded like âNyowâ though, that could be because he often said some form of ânyaaâ after every sentence. Kataro was not very familiar with human customs, or speech, despite being half one. To him he was purr~fectly normal, even though he couldnât recall where he came from, or anything of the matter. It didnât bother him in the slightest.
He was, in some words, a stray. He didnât have a place or person he was tied down to. he could do whatever he wanted in the forest, from sleeping in a tree to teasing the fish he came across. To him every day was another adventure.
Ah! ~ What a wonderful Catâs Life! ~
To him the forest was home. The high trees were fun to climb and rest in. The animal sounds didnât bother him; they were like neighbors to him. None of the animals had ever harmed him, he could even call himself friend to them, if it were not for the fact that he couldnât sit still or stay in one place for long. He liked to explore and was alwaysâŠas curious as a cat could be.
He had not a care in the world and would seem much like a child, with the way his eyes would sparkle in excitement at anything new. Although, having been alone for so long he hadnât really learned human speech. He would appear shy, or very much like a wild animal if anyone had tried speaking to him.
It was on a day like this, that he came across something that both made him curious and would change his average life forever. While wandering through the forest, steering clear of any water, he came upon a small cottage, hidden by trees. He had never before seen such a thing in the forest, and it was very intriguing to him. His blue eyes lit up and a smile snaked across his lips, causing him to grin widely. It was his normal reaction to anything he really liked. A cottage in the woods could be a nice place for him to play. Without thinking of consequences, he sprinted towards it, and flung himself through the open window. He landed on all fours, as a cat would and his tail curled around him, as he glanced around at the empty room.
He grinned again. Yes⊠this would definitely be a nice place to play. He thought.
