"Listen Ryu. If you don't get your grades up, you'll never get into the collage you want." The teacher scolded and continued, "I remember what it's like to be your age.."

Shut up...

"It wasn't to long ago that I was just like you. A teenager not ready for the burdens of the world. but let me tell you, I was ALWAYS prepared in class. I don;'t understand why you can't get your act together.." He continued.

Shut up..!!

"I know it must be hard right now your probably so sad, your parents were just murder--"

"SHUT UP!!" I suddenly yelled, slamming my fist on his desk. "You have NO right to tell me how I should be feeling! Or how I should be living! NO RIGHT AT ALL!" I continued, clentching my fist.

"..L-look I'm sor--"

"SHUT UP! I'm leaving!" I spat, turning on my heel and storming out the door.

I sped down the halls until I got to the emergency stairs. I kicked open the doors, evedently setting off the alarm, and headed up to the roof.

I let out a shuttered breath as I stood at the very top of the building. I stood on the ledge and looked down at the city below. Hot tears were still running down my cheeks and I wiped them away furiously. That teacher was an idiot. Talking about my parents.

It was true. My parents were murdered. By who- I don't know. But I knew why. Just the thought of the reason made me sick, it made my blood boil.

My parents were killed because of our race. Our breed.

We weren't human. Not like everyone else. Because of our difference a lot of human adults and children hate us. With a passion. We are discribed as inpure and lowly. Unworthy of the human kind. But, infact, we aren't so different. The most noticable difference is our animal ears and tail. I happened to be a rare breed. Crossed between a fox and a racoon, this, ultimatly, made my family, even more "Impure". It was bad enough to be an Anihuman ((Thats what we are called)) but to be crossed between two specieces was I guess unforgivable.

Naturally, Anihumans have their own community. But even I am looked down upon for my cross-breeded self. It wasn't my fault my parents loved eachother. My mom was the racoon..my dad was the fox.

I didn't understand why I was being targeted like this. why couldn't people just learn to get along?

I had a few friends, mostly anihumans, I have very little human friends, they're caring, and understand and except my differences and abilities, I wished that more humans were like them.

The tears were coming back as memories of my parents funeral came to mind. My brother was there. He's all I have left. But he's lucky...He's full Fox anihuman, a half brother, We share the same father...But sadly..he doesn't care for me much. I'm just a kid..16 years, not a day older. I'm not ready to take care of myself..Not ready at all.

I'm frightended that I'll someday share the same fate as my parents..

I hadn't ever seen other crossed anihumans like myself. I was the only one I knew of. But my father said that there was many. They were just hiding, he also said they were working together to gain their rights in this human controlled world. I don't know if it's working or not.

But I hope it is..
