Hello, my babies! How have you been? I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while... *cough*three months*cough* Super sorry about that! But, I remembered this story this morning, did a quick editing session, and voila! I'm sad to say that it might be a while before I post again, but lots of personal stuff going on, yada yada, the usual that I'm sure you get from lots of other authors all the time. I hope the next chapter will be written better than this one when I'm done with it, but until then, I hope this chapter's not to bad. I had a weird dream about the Host Club last night... Okay, mainly Tamaki, but the idiot is so loveable, you can't help but smile when you watch him try and clean a table with a wedge of cheese.

I hope you guys enjoy this story I have for you, please read and review! But the most important part is that you enjoy!

Disclaimer : I do not own Ouran High School Host Club. The magic store in the story is of my own creation, any similarities to things in real life is purely incidental.

I blame the magic shop. At first 'Tricks and Charms Magic Shop' sounded cute. A funny little store that sold fake magic kits and enough card decks and magic wands to make any little kid's heart content. The fact that they had little bottles and necklaces that claimed to bring things like good luck just made my suspicion more concrete. It was just a little shop pretending to have magic, keeping in line with the understood rule of that they pretend it's real and we pretend that we believe them.

Turns out they weren't pretending.

I was just strolling along the outdoor mall when something in their window caught my eye. Nothing special, just an old looking book. I went inside to get a better look when I saw a display of necklaces. Some displayed various animals, and a few had some basic shapes, along with a handful of ones I had never seen before. When the man behind the counter saw me looking at a specific one, he interjected.

"The cat." He said, scaring me. I looked over to him and he gestured to the pendant. "The cat. It's the symbol of love, among other things. Independence, cleverness, mystery, curiosity, magic."

I looked at the necklace. "It's really cute. How much?" The pendant was silver, sparking in the rays of light coming through the window. The pendant sat on a light blue ribbon, fused with millions of tiny pieces of glitter.

"Five hundred yen." The storekeeper replied. I continued looking at the necklace. I had at least that much left in my pocket, and the ribbon was my favorite color. Plus it matched my outfit, along with over half of the other clothes in my closet, not to mention cats were my favorite animal. I wasn't really much of one for jewelry, but it was a good price and really cute.

"I'll take it." I said. After paying the man, he handed me the necklace. He offered to package it for me, but I told him that I'd wear it out. Exiting the shop, I looked at my phone. It was nearly time to get home. I quickly put on the necklace and started on my way. Not too much longer, my head started hurting. I yawned, each time being more and more tired. I guess I hadn't slept enough last night. When I made it to the residential area the streetlights hurt my eyes, and I was starting to sway on my feet. My headache was getting worse and it was hard to keep my eyes open. When I was most of the way home, I decided to take a break and sit down on a bench. It was then that I realized that I wasn't in my neighborhood. Another yawn came from my lips and I couldn't hold it off any longer. I was asleep before my head touched the ground.

When I woke up, I realized something. My back felt a whole lot better. I guess that sleeping on a concrete floor helped in some way my old bed couldn't. Slowly, lazily, I opened my eyes. My arms felt weird and there was a strange feeling near the base of my back. I blinked a few times and brought up my hand to rub my eyes. I stopped short when I realized that it wasn't a hand. In my line of sight was a orange, fluffy paw. I shook my hand, and the paw moved accordingly. I lifted my hand up, it followed. What was going on? I tried to get up, but for some reason my arms and legs were the same length. I took a minute to try to teach myself how to walk in this new predicament. Finally satisfied that I could go ten steps without falling, I looked around. I wasn't in a park. At least, I didn't think so. It was sort of like a park, and sort of like a garden, but either way it was empty, and there weren't any houses in sight.

Off a little ways I saw a fountain. Taking some time, I steadily made my way over to it and looked at the water. In my place I saw the reflection of a tiny orange cat looking back at me. Again I repeated the process of moving a bit at a time, and watching the cat mirror me. After a good couple minutes, I had come to the conclusion that I was the cat. That or things had gotten really trippy. Maybe it was a dream? I touched the water with my paw.

My paw got wet.

Yeah, that didn't tell me anything. I had been tackled to the ground in dreams before. The whole 'not feeling things in your dreams' thing never seemed to apply to me.

I heard voices from behind me that seemed to round the corner. Turning around, I saw two really handsome guys walking out of - was that a rose maze?

"I'm telling you, Kyoya," the blond one exclaimed, bouncing up and down as he tried to keep pace with his dark haired friend, "It will be absolutely amazing if we just-"

The blond stopped talking when he caught sight of me. "Oh, a kitten!" Faster than I could blink he closed the distance between us and picked me up under my arms…. legs…. front appendages… whatever. It felt very weird. "Kyoya, look at it! Isn't it just adorable?"

The dark haired one - Kyoya, I'm guessing? - looked at me through the glare of his glasses looking less than amused. "It's a she, Tamaki, not an it. And you shouldn't be picking up strange animals. It could have fleas for all you know."

Tamaki pouted, before looking at me wearily. "She doesn't look flea-ridden. In fact, she looks well cared for. You don't think she could be somebody's pet?"

Kyoya gave me another look. "I suppose she could. Although I'm not completely sure, she looks like she could be a purebred. Healthy coat, well groomed... It is a possibility, yes."

Tamaki gasped. "Then we must find her owner at once!"

Kyoya came closer, inspecting me further. "There's really not much I can do. There's no tag, or collar for that matter. I could check to see if any lost cats have been reported, perhaps ask around a little, or see if there's a chip somewhere, but that will take some time."

Tamaki's chest puffed up, and I started to get a bad feeling. "Then, in the mean time, I shall take care of her!" He looked at me, holding me closer to his face. This whole half-hanging in the air thing was getting extremely uncomfortable. "So, then, what should your name be?"

I could hear Kyoya behind me grumble the words "Stop that. If you name it, you're going to want to keep it."

Tamaki kept going, as if he didn't hear anything. "For the next few days, you'll be treated like a princess!" Then, just by looking at him, I could tell that he got an idea. "That's it! I'll call you princess! What do you think, do you like your new name?"

I meowed. I wasn't sure what it was supposed to mean, probably 'What the heck is going on?', but he took it as an agreement. "Great!" Tamaki shouted, pulling me into a tight hug, "I can't wait to show the rest of the family! Mommy, come on, we have to get to the Host Club!"

What? Host Club? Who is 'Mommy'? Tamaki started running towards one of the pink buildings I had seen in the distance, with Kyoya begrudgingly following behind. I wasn't completely sure, but I thought I heard Kyoya mutter "And you're doing it again."
