Prologue

"Ahh... Ueno-san is taking a while to pack... I wonder if she's okay.." Kazehoshi's Captain quietly muttered to herself.

"AH YES!" hearing the loud cheer resonating from the room across, Mihoko couldn't help but smile. The silly girl probably ended up packing more than her suitcase could handle.

"Hehe.." Mihoko laughed, "Ueno-san five more minutes!.."

The door then flung open and out came Hisa with her suitcase, ready to depart.

"U-ueno-san what took you so long?" Mihoko asked.

"When are you going to start dropping the formalities Mihoko," Hisa teased, "U-E-NO..-chan?"

"Ehhh.. um... oh yes! Ueno-san you're going to be late if you don't hurry up now!" changing the topic, Mihoko then dragged Hisa out towards the taxi, "have fun at the training camp!"

"I'll be gone for a month so I'll leave those at Kiyosumi in your hands," the red haired girl was about to enter the taxi but stopped and turned around, "thanks for coming over and waking me up Mihoko!"

"Ehh..." Mihoko's face turned red as a tomato, "o-o-of course!"

"Ah right, okay I'll see you soon Mihoko" Hisa says as she opened her arms for a quick hug which Mihoko fell into, hugging her tightly.

They stood there for a moment, Mihoko burying her head into Hisa's neck, holding onto her longer than she should.

Hisa stood still, feeling a bit confused by Mihoko's sudden burst of affections. "Um Mihoko?" she whispered bewildered at the head hidden in the crook of her neck.

Snapping out of her reverie, she tightened her grip before letting go awkwardly. "Ah- um, bye Ueno-san, I-I'll see you in a month!"

Eyes turning into crescents, Hisa smiled at her before waving and entering the taxi, "thanks for being a great friend Mihoko!"

"Friend..." Mihoko whispered, "that's right.. that's all I'll ever be to you but as long as that allows me to stay by your side, then I am content."

Mihoko's eyes then followed the trail the taxi had driven off to, her light smile turned into a lonely frown and she sighed "It's going to be a long month..."

Hisa quickly pulled out her phone and looked at it contemplating whether she should send a text to Mihoko and the girls, but quickly thought against it and placed it back into her purse.

"Mihoko looked so sad..." Hisa thought out loud, "but it's only a month, I wonder what that was all about?.."

Hisa had been invited to a training camp in Kyoto by her former friends from middle school in which she agreed to go to as long as all her Mahjong club members could join. Unfortunately, everyone else had made other plans for the summer, hence why Hisa is going alone.

"Mihoko's cooking...I'm going to miss that." Hisa dramatically sobbed.

Staring out the window of the cab, Hisa was startled as the car suddenly hit a bump and a loud crack was heard.

"Ah crap!" the driver cursed as he pulled over to the side of the street.

"Is everything okay?" Hisa popped her head up, curious as to what had just happened.

The driver then got out of the car and walked around taking quick glances at the car, "uh ma'am, that pothole popped both the front tires. I'm sorry but I think I'll have to drop you off here and call another cab for you."

"I'm so terribly sorry." the driver bowed deeply.

"Oh, its okay! How long will the next cab arrive?"

"It should be about ten minutes, again I'm terribly sorry about this!" the driver once again bowed and apologized.

"It's fine, better safe than sorry right!" Hisa smiled.

The man blushed and stuttered "g-good day.." before getting back into his car.

"Ahhh, good thing Mihoko woke me up early today or I probably wouldn't make it." Hisa sighed, "I guess I'll just sit on this bench and wait for the cab..."

As Hisa began to walk towards the bench she stopped in her track when she saw a high school girl standing on the edge of the bridge looking extremely dazed.

The girl then turned around and grinned at Hisa, "will you catch me if I fall?"

In a blink of an eye, the girl let herself fall backwards with her arms wide open. Without a second thought, Hisa leaped forward trying to catch the girl but only managed to grab her by the leg.

She then looked down at the girl and yelled, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?"

The girl stared back at Hisa, who was desperately trying to hold on, "Do you know what it means to love someone?"

Not being able to withstand any longer, Hisa was dragged down with the girl because of the momentum and in her remaining moments, memories of her and Mihoko clouded her thoughts, "Mihoko..."

"Buchou! Aren't you going to eat your food?" Yuuki intensively eyed the home-made bento.

"Yuuki! Eat your own food..." Nodoka lectured, "that was made by Mihoko for Buchou!"

"But it loooks soo delicious!" Yuuki whined, "Buchou, can I have some please!?"

Hisa awoke with a yelp as she opened her eyes to see a cat staring back at her. For some reason, she had this burning urge to run after this cat as it snickered evilly at her.

"You there!" Hisa pointed at the cat but then notices something awfully wrong, "wait a minute what...happened to my hands?"

She had paws. Furry, hairy paws; slightly webbed paws, something is definitely wrong here.

She then ran over to anyone she could see, "uhm..somethings wrong here! Some girl jumped off a bridge and I tried to save her and then next thing I know it I have paws..."

Running around, she looked at the people desperately for any sign of help, but was dumbfounded to see them all staring down at her with scared looks on their faces.

"What is going on here!?"

Again they all looked at her but quickly walked away as if she was some rabid dog.

"SOMEONE ANSWER ME!" Hisa finally yelled at the top of her lungs only to realized that the only sound coming out from her were barks. It finally hit her, everyone was staring downwards at her, not to mention everything's in grey scale.

Running past a window, Hisa saw her reflection and screeched to a stop. Staring it at, she walked closer and banged her head hard against the window. Sure that she wasn't dreaming now, she slowly opened her eyes and stared at her reflection again.

Staring back at her was the dishevelled face of a furry golden retriever.

"Mihoko... I've turned into a dog!?"
