-oOo-Axel-oOo-

As dusk fell over the dark alleyways of London, the scampering of tiny paws fell deaf to the awakening night world. A rat with eyes as green as emeralds and fur as red as blood ran down the dark cobblestone streets, following his nose to where he could smell food.

He stopped for a moment and sniffed the air, before continuing on his small journey. And finally, he found what he was looking for. A large bin almost filled to the brim with old food and garbage that the humans discarded.

When Axel thought of the next life, this is not what he imagined.

As he climbed the silver container, he was unaware that a creature had already claimed this as his own.

A cat with the bluest eyes and fur that looked like it was made of golden tabby suddenly leaped atop of the bin, only centimetres from where Axel had been aiming to jump.

"Get out of here, scum. This is mine!" The cat hissed, its fluffy tail poofed out, making itself look more intimidating.

Axel made a sound like a frightened child, and hurried away from the gold feline. But as he was running, he thought the heard the cat call.

"Hey- Hey wait!" He didn't stop. He wouldn't take his chances on being eaten.

He scampered until he was sure he was out of sight.

"Oh, look how the mighty have fallen!" Chuckled a raven from its perch on the roof.

"Shut up, Zexion." Axel panted, trying to catch his breath. "You just think you're amazing because you can fly away."

"Well, it's not my fault you were reborn as a rat." The raven sighed. "Anyway, any look on finding Roxas yet?"

"No. I actually doubt if he's here. I mean, he didn't die. He just went back inside of Sora. God- That sounds wrong. Roxas inside of Sora... Ew."

"Well, I've got to get to the zoo now. Demyx will get annoyed if I don't bring him his pizza slices before the end of the night. The many difficulties of being a seal, right? He's stuck in a cage for laughing, giggling humans to look at." Zexion cawed softly. "Good luck, Axel." Then, he spread his ebony wings, and flew away.

Axel sighed, and started to clean himself. He licked his paws, and brought them to his face and started with scrub vigorously. After he was sure that his face was as clean as he could make it, he turned around and licked his flanks. It was a very delicate process, and he would often spend at least ten minutes cleaning himself.

Next, he went and found a safe place to curl up and sleep just as the call of a cat could be heard in the distance.

-oOo-Roxas-oOo

He stared in shock at the red rodent that ran away from him. That couldn't of been Axel... could it? Well, whatever.

He leaped off the top of the bin, and proceeded to push it over, spilling out its contents. He rooted through it himself, looking for whatever looked most appetizing. There wasn't much. He settled for a half eaten chicken wing, and nibbled at the soft, juicy meat which didn't even have any mould on it yet, and it didn't smell too bad, either.

'Score!' he thought as he cracked open one of the brittle bones, and licked out the flavour-filled marrow.

When he had his fill, he let out a soft mew.

"Xion, Naminé, come here."

Two other cats walked towards him. A light ginger tabby and a dark cat with fur as black as the night sky made their appearance.

"Yes, your highness?" Xion chuckled. "What is it that the Prince of Cats wants?"

"Oh, shut up, Xion! I could just call you the same, Princess." Roxas retorted to his sister.

"Stop arguing like a couple of kittens- I mean, children." Naminé sighed. It was difficult, having the memories of being a human, yet still being a cat at the same time.

"Sorry, Nami." Roxas pouted. "Anyway, both of you, choose your food. The rest of our subjects are getting hungry, and I won't be able to hold off an entire horde of starving cats for very long." He said in a commanding tone. "And after they finish eating, tell them all to gather behind the chipper. It's urgent."

Roxas leaped away from the bin, and jumped atop a large dumpster. He took a deep breath, and let out a long call. A call to gather all his underling to the food. Tonight was going to be a long night for the Prince of Cats.
