There once was a Princess cursed while still in her mother's womb; a jealous witch was the one who cursed her, she was cursed because the witch was jealous of her mother's beauty.
When Sakura was born she was born with cat fur and a cat looking face, the doctor who had delivered Sakura told the mother, "You don't want to see this child." and he started to walk away with her.
Sakura's mother cried out, "Please! She's my baby! Just let me see her!" Sakura's mother was crying so horribly, sobbing so loudly. It broke the doctors heart, but he took Sakura over to the crying woman, she took Sakura in her arms and smiled, then said, "She's beautiful." And she wiped off her face.
3 years after Sakura's birth the witch heard that the baby had not been killed or abandoned after it had been born, the witch was furious, she attacked the castle in her rage. She killed Sakura's mother and saw the child, she kidnapped Sakura thinking, "What better revenge then never letting this girl feel love?"
The witch taught Sakura that she was ugly for 13 years, the girl now 16 years old and able to be married wouldn't even look at anyone; she only left the house to go to the woods and see her Wolf Friend; his name was Howler and he always stayed with Sakura wherever he could.
"I hate living with that woman Howler, she's so awful," Sakura confided in Howler, in return Howler whined, "But she's right. The way I look. I'm not suitable for life with normal humans." She started crying and Howler whined even more.
Everyday she'd go nowhere but the woods and home; she slept and cleaned. That's all, her life was monotone, she didn't even know she was a Princess either. BUt soon, her life would change for the better.
One day she started heading to the woods when she got there Howler was no where, but...a young man with fur on him just like her; but he had the ears and tail of a wolf the only difference between the two; his fur color was gray.
The young man looked over his shoulder then got up and suddenly hugged Sakura, "You are beautiful Princess Sakura. Don't let anyone make you think otherwise."
"Ack...mmm...w-who are you...?" Sakura whined sounding scared.
He smiled and licked her cheek, "The name's Howler." He gave her a really soft smile and she immediatly calmed down.
"Why....?"
"Because I love someone and I know she loves me too. Despite how much she belives she's ugly, she's the most beautiful girl in the world, to me. And that's all that should matter." He said cutting off Sakura's question.
Sakura started crying and hugged Howler, "I love you." She smiled while she was crying, because she wasn't crying out of sadness, it was out of happiness.
Sakura never returned to the Village after that. She and Howler remained in the woods and built a home there.
