The Ritual is fast approaching."

Kyo Sohma looked up in the darkness.

A woman with long dark hair to her waist and a star on her forehead held out a hand to him.

Who was she? She was beautiful.

"Savior of the Zodiac."

Kyo looked at the woman. She had dark blue eyes, and her face looked so pained.

"Are you crazy?" He finally managed. "I'm the Cat. I'm not their Savior. I'm their scapegoat."

The woman rushed forward and cupped his chin in her hands. "Chaos will not rest until the Sacrifice is made."

Kyo stared at her. "Sacrifice? What Sacrifice?"

The woman lifted a large, decorative sword. "I was only born...so that I could die."

"NOOOO!" Kyo screamed, reaching out.

Xxx

Kyo woke up and tried to shake off the dream, heading to school

But he couldn't.

Who was that woman? An enemy? He...didn't want her to be an enemy. She'd looked so pained.

Bump.

"Ah?" A girl looked up at him. "I'm sorry about that. I'm new here. My name's Kuri Hikawa."

"I'm Kyo Sohma." Kyo said.

Those same eyes. He picked up her books and handed them to her.

"I was just heading to my shrine." Kuri said, and pulled out a flyer. "Harvest festival is soon. Come and see me draw down the moon."

"I...uh...yeah." Kyo reached out, and their hands touched.

"Awaken!"

Kisa was lying in the ruins of Sohma House. It was completely destroyed and everyone was dead.

"What's happening? Where is everyone?"

She looked around.

"Oh...that's right...they were already dead..." Kisa began to cry.

"Don't be afraid, Kisa." Kagura pulled her to her feet. "We still have time. The Ritual is fast approaching. The Sacrifice must be made. It is the only way to stop this from happening and end the Curse. It is up to you and me."

Kisa covered her face, and began to cry.

Kisa entered the Sohma dojo. She wanted to ask Kagura about the dream.

She sat down, and waited for Kagura.

"You hear it, don't you." Kagura said, sitting beside her. "The wind is rustling."

"What is it that you want from me, Kagura?" Kisa said piteously, wondering if Kagura knew her dreams.

"I just want to meditate with you." Kagura said simply.

"I-I can't." Kisa stammered and left.
