"Here kitty, here kitty!"
My eye twich. If I were stuck in this sitation any other time I would have squeled like the stupid fan girl I am. Ironicly most people would kill to be me right now but I would kill myself to get out of this right now. Who wouldn't want Zack Fair,a popular video game character from Final Fantasy, beconing you to come to him. I mean you would proboly have to have a pretty bad day not squel in happieness. By bad day I mean, suddenly droping from your bed onto the filthy streets of Midgar. Quickly finding out that you are a small four legged creature with tiny paws. Almost become road kill by few speed happy car and truck drivers. Close of being violently torn apart by stray dogs. Or having little kids throw rocks and sticks at you and not eatting/sleeping/bathing properly for about a week. To bad for Zack I was having on of those days or in my case week.
"Here kitty, nice kitty," beconed Zack playfully as he squaded down to my level. He smells like sweat. He must have been training with angeal. Wonder why his in the slums kneeling in front of a dirty cardboard box waving at me. Maybe I'm just that cute and cuddly. Nope I'm completely covered in dirt and girm, not cute at all.
"Kitty kitty" said Zack sounding rather childish.
My eye twiched, I mean it really twiched, can cats twich their eyes?
He extended his arm forward to pet me the unhappy kitty. I promptly reacted like a very unhappy kitty by swiping at his hand and retreating back into the cardboard box. It was my only stable source of shelter since my sudden appearance in the wonderful world of gaia. Notice the the heavy blank in my voice. I then went on to gave him a terrifying spine chilling hiss which probably sound like soft strained don't help when my glare come as a pitiful look of desperate to the solider 3rd. Zack's happy playful expression quickly transformed into one of pity and concern. Kunsel gave a quick glance at me as he peered down at his squatting companion.
"It looks like a stray Zack. My guess about a few weeks or maybe even a mouth old kitten," commented kunsel.
"Maybe we should take it to the local animal shelter?"
I gave very, very loud and displeased yowl at the mention of the animal shelter. I been to animal shelters as a person and even then it was very unpleasant experience. Don't get me wrong I think it's great that we have them to help unwanted animals find homes. However the living conditions were well...some thing to be desired and the risk of being put down was always a upsetting factor. At least with some satisfaction the yowl had gotten the reaction I was hopping for. The two soldiers seem to look taken back or startled by the fact a small kitten could make such a sound. Zack was the first one to get over the "shock" and gave a small but amused laugh.
" Guess that a big fat no hmm?" murmured the spiky headed soldier as strange thoughtful look crossed his face. He suddenly got very quiet, which in it's own way was startling for both kunmul and me. To my knowledge Zack" the puppy" rarely got this quiet so I curiously crawled to the edge box for a clear look around. Without warning I was suddenly surrounded and swallowed by a giant wave of blue cotton. I was then quickly lifted from the ground while the cotton around me was maneuvered to wrap around me. I squirm to see if I could get out only to have the cloth securely tucked in around me. Seeing that there was no way out I tilted my head back to see a triumph Zack grinning down at me. I finally understood how babies felt being wrapped up. Given my little situation I'm pretty sure that's how I was wrapped up.
"Well then, I guess that means-" Zack shifted the bundled me into a more comfortable position before continuing "-your coming home with me kitty."
Kunsel gave Zack a look or I think it was a look. I sort hard to tell with that helmet covering his eyes.
" Zack I don't think that's such a good idea," started kunsel uncertainly.
" Don't worry about it, I mean how hard is it to take care of one little kitty cat."
