Writing another one, except i'm going to try and write one longer then just a short one-shot, iv'e never tried it before so it might not be all that good :) I don't own any of the characters in this story, well maybe one, or two, sense i made them up :P Or the cat returns (i don't know what it is, but i loooooove writing fanfic's about Haru and Baron) anyways, enjoy :) Rachel~
It was storming outside and Haru sat alone on the couch in the Cat office, sipping at the hot tea she held in her hands. Baron had left two hours earlier
for the cat kingdom with muta and toto, he had said he wouldn't be more then a week, and that she could watch over the Cat office if she wanted to,
she hadagreed and now she sat idly on the couch. Suddenly there was a dance of lightning across the sky and a huge clash of thunder, it nearly scared
her out of herskin and she accidentally spilt the hot tea all over the couch. "oh no!" she yelped, looking around frantically for a towel, she rushed down
the hall and to her surprise-mentfound a bathroom, a towel sitting folded neatly on the counter, she quickly took it and rushed back down the hall to
press the towel to the dripping wet couch. "awe, whatif it leaves a stain, what will i tell Baron" She sighed and sat back down in the chair, the fire
crackled lazily in the fireplace. She turned to look around thesmall living room area, her eyes landed on Barons desk, papers lay messily all over it, a
pen and a picture of him, toto and muta all smiling together. She giggled,how on earth did muta even meet these two living figurines. She could only
imagine. Slowly she rose off the chair and walked solemnly over to his desk, flippingthrough some of the papers. She paused on a paper full of Barons
handwriting, it was neat and easy flowing, beautiful writing. Sighing to herself she flipped it overand paused once again. This time on a picture of Baron
and a white cat, an exceptionally beautiful cat, smiling happily as she kissed a happy Baron on the cheek. Shestared at it a while longer, it looked like
an old picture, older then she was anyway. "who could she be?" she thought, running her hand over the picture, over Barons face. suddenly she felt
different, she turned to look out the window, the clouds had passed and the stars were out, beautiful and sparkling like ornaments hanging neatly in
the sky, the rain had stopped as well. "well, time togo" she whispered to herself, slowly setting the picture down, letting it slip between her fingers as
she turned to leave, slipping on her sweater and into hershoes, leaving the cat office behind she ran she rolled up her sleeve to look at the time
on her orange cat watch, that held a very mild resemblance to Baron, it was only 9:00 pm, witch means most of the stores down main street would still
be open for at least anotherhour, she had time to get milk and whatever else she needed. when she finally reached a store she was exhausted, she
had been running so fast, and it was still only 9:15 pm. Witch ment she had been running fast for no apparent caught her breath as she
entered the store and headed for the back, picking up a carton of milk and a loaf of bread, she pondered on anything else she needed butnothing came
to mind so she headed for the check out. Once she had items in bag and in hand she walked out into the cool night air. She had been to busy
fiddlingwith the bag and checking the time that she hadn't even noticed when she walked out into the street when the light had just turned green. She
only looked up when sheherd the frantic honks of the big truck, the squealing breaks and the blinding lights bearing down on her.
~Chell~
Chell sighed, picking up the sign from outside the antique shop his dad owned, when he noticed her, a young girl coming out of the convenience store
across from the shop he worked at. She had a pretty face and long brown hair tied back in a ponytail. He stopped and began to stare without even
thinking. Suddenly he noticed that she wasn't paying attention to what she was doing and was walking towards the street full of cars. He turned his
attention to the lights, they had been red for a while now, he was sure they were going to turn green any second now. "isn't she going to stop?" he
thought, but she didn't, she began to walk across the street, "what the hell is she doing?" that's when the lights turned green and his feet hit the
pavement "is she stupid!" he yelled out loud as he ran for her, a truck roaring towards him "oh great now im going to be hit by a truck as well!" he
thought frantically as he lifted her from the ground and jumped, the trucks horn honked and it pressed hard on the breaks, squealing all the way, him
and the girl fell to the sidewalk with a loud thud. "ow!" he herd the girl yelp as she looked up completely confused, "oh i'm so sorry, i wasn't paying
attention and oh my god!" she sat up, he smiled and also sat up "well at least were alive" he pointed out, she giggled and apologized again "thank
you so much, you saved my life" then her attention drifted to behind him, her eyes falling to land on the road. "though that doesn't go for the poor milk
and bread" the carton lay in shreds, white milk splatterd across the road and her bread flat as a pancake. He couldn't help but laugh "i think you were
a little more important and over there" she looked back at him and laughed as well "yeah i guess, but now i need to buy them again,
me and my clumsy-ness, gonna run me dry of my money" he smiled "well ill go with you" he offered, she smiled and began to walk back to the
convenience store "jeez i can't believe i was about to be hit by a truck" she said, he picked up the milk as she picked up a loaf of bread "haven't your
parents told you to look both ways before you cross the road?" she giggled slightly "i always brushed that off, i guess it comes in handy" he smiled
"lots of the stuff they say comes in handy" she nodded "that's true, thank you again, my names Haru by the way" she reached out her hand "Chell" he
answered shaking her hand "that's an English name right?" she asked "yes" He answered in English, she smiled "i thought so, thats awesome, so your
from america", "canada" he corrected, "oh really, whats it like there?" she asked, taking the receit from the lady, he took the time to grab the bag for
her, she thanked him and began walking back out of the same doors she had left out of ten minutes ago. "long cold winters, cold lakes, and short hot
summers with lots of thunder storms" she laughed, "sounds fun!", he gave her a questioning look before laughing as well "and lots of open land" Haru
couldn't even start to think what open land looked like, having spent her whole life in tokyo. "must be nice" she said, stopping to look both ways before
crossing the road ever socautiously. "very nice, being here is like being boxed up, but my dad, whose japanese insisted we come live here" he sighed,
"he owns that shop overthere, actully we live there" her eyes fell upon the cute antique shop, it was green with a black roof, white around the
windows and adorable white doors "your dad owns that antique shop?" she asked, he nodded "yup, were just closing, so i got to go, look both ways
before you cross the road Haru!" he said, haru laughed "would you mind if i came by tommarow, unless you have plans" He paused and smiled "nope i
dont mind at all, see you tommarow then" haru smiled back "bye chell!" he waved before swooping up a sighn and running back into the shop.
Was that any good? :/ not sure, but if it wasn't it'll get better as it goes! ~hopefully~ :D
