Miracles Happen

A/N i had to write a fic for The Cat Returns because I love it so much and I got the DVD on Friday. It's one of my fave Ghibli movies and I can't wait to get Ponyo on A Cliff by the Sea on DVD in the Summer but I'm going off topic.

This story is about what would happen if a cat from the Kingdom of Cats entered our world and became a human the way Haru was a cat in the Kingdom of Cats? Well Kari, daughter of King Lune and Queen Yuki is about to find out. I hope Ghibli fans love this. The fic starts with a dream where Haru is remembering the last time she was in the Kingdom of Cats after her little adventure twenty four years later......

It was a clear night in the Kingdom of Cats and a young black furred cat sighed.

Her name was Kari, heir of the Kingdom and daughter of King Lune and Queen Yuki. She looked like her father especially having Lune's emerald green eyes.

But she had no desire to rule but her thoughts were broken by soft humming as somebody was coming her way.

It was Haru.

The human girl that Prince Lune and Yuki had known when she had first came to the Kingdom of Cats after saving Lune's life had grown up into a beauitful woman with her long hair being whipped by the gentle breeze.

Haru was now twenty four and married to the Baron.

She'd also became a mother but Muta was looking after her young son Rokai while she'd came to visit.

"What's wrong Kari?

You look sad." Haru told her.

"Nothing.

Haru,,,,,,,,, what's it like to be a human?" the young cat princess answered.

Haru was surprised and thrown off guard by her question.

She knew how bad Kari wanted to be in her world but Lune wouldn't let his only daughter go into the human world.

"It's pretty good but being a cat seems better to me.

It was fun being one for a little while." Haru answered her.

"Haru....... do you think if I did go to your world, would I become one like you becoming a cat in this world?" Kari asked her curious.

"Haru!" she heard the Baron say as he approached them.

"Yes my dear husband what is it?" Haru asked her husband.

"We should go.

I bet Rokai has worn Muta out by now." he told her.

"Okay I'm coming Baron.

Goodbye Kari." Haru said as she and her husband left the Kingdom of Cats through the exit portal..........

Haru woke up as she heard the alarm clock ring. It had been a long while since her last visit to the Kingdom of Cats and wondered how Kari was doing as she got dressed.

She worked as a teacher in the local elementary school in the first grade class and loved it.

"Morning Mom.

Muta was asking about you again." Rokai said to her as she came into the kitchen. She smiled at her fifteen year old son.

He'd been born with a rare gift that enabled him to talk to cats and understand them in English like the ones from the Kingdom of Cats but he didn't have many human friends but it didn't matter.

He was very shy like his mother had been when she was his age and trouble believing in himself.

He'd been getting ready for school.

He'd been spending the weekend with his father at the Cat Bureau helping the Baron and listening to Muta's stories especially the one about him being a wanted criminal after eating all the fish in the lake in the Kingdom of Cats.

"That's good honey.

Has Kari been talking about me or being human?" Haru asked her teenage son.

"No I haven't Mom.

Dad told me about how she wants to be like us but why?

She's got a good life." he answered as he saw her doing something that made him smile.

Haru was making the tea his father had taught her to make the very first time they'd met and loved to drink it whenever she made it because every time you drank a cup, it had it's own special flavour and he'd learned how to make it.

"Thanks Mom." Rokai said as Haru put a cup of tea beside him as he was about to eat breakfast.

"I'd better be going, okay Rokai?

You'd better get to school before you're late." Haru told her son.

"Don't worry Mom, I won't.

Besides Grandma told me about how you used to be late all the time." Rokai said to his mother as she laughed going out the door........

But in the Cat Bureau, Rokai's father the Baron sighed. He#d heard from Lune and Muta how Kari had followed him and Haru through the portal back to the human world.

But he hadn't told Haru this because he knew she would blame herself for Kari's actions.

"Have any luck finding her Baron?" Muta asked him as he ate some cake.

"No Muta I haven't but she can't be too far but the spell in the human world has taken effect on her so....." the Baron answered.

"So what Baron?

Does it mean what I think it means?" Muta asked him.

The Baron nodded in reply..........
