Prologue

Living in a box in a vacant alley, Kiki abandoned on the streets of Japan as a young child. Born with a rare genetic abnormality giving her feline ears and a tail, Kiki grew up never understanding why people would stare and point at her in the street. Now nearing her 18th birthday, everything is about to turn on its head. Where was she from? Why did her parents abandon her? Where did these genetic mutations originate? She's about to find out, and the answers will change her life forever.
