Amu-Chan VS. Catman

"Meowwww!"

"..." Staring down at a small cat with strange black fur tinted with a dark blue hue, I think to myself. 'Why?' Out of all the nearby houses in this particular neighbourhood, in this particular part of Tokyo, my domain was doomed to this… thing. Allow me to explain, me plus cats is a no go kind of like… electricity and water, we just don't mix. The last cat I encountered tried to gouge my eyes out… not an enjoyable experience I must confess. This particular cat was one that my sister, Ami, received for her Birthday, she was ten and I was sixteen. I have to admit, I'm glad to be away from the cat, at seventeen I was accepted into a college that was quite a fair distance away from the house. So, with the money I had tortuously saved up ever since I began my part time job, I bought a flat in a reasonably small apartment building. It was close to the school, there were nice neighbours and some of said neighbours were even some of my old friends from High School. (Seiyo Academy)

"MEOWWWWW!!!" Screeched the feline at being ignored.

I sighed. Combing a hand through the fringe of my short, bright pink hair I glared at the cat. Lucky me that as soon as I needed to start my part time job -at a local bookstore- I had to wander into my worst enemy. The cat stared back at me as I put a hand on my hip, I intensified my death glare to maximum power as my 'Cool 'n' Spicy' side took over, I thought to myself. 'I can't believe this cat thinks I'm letting it inside.' I put my free hand on my other hip and leaned forward slightly,

"Shoo!" I hissed.

The cat blinked up at me with strange mesmerising sapphire blue eyes. They seemed almost… human. I stood back up straight and groaned, 'Why can't this cat just go away?!' And then the most peculiar thing happened.

'On the contrary, I have no intention to "go away".'

My mouth dropped open… did this cat just speak to me? Telepathically no less! I sigh and think I'm finally insane… maybe this was a great time to have a day off and spend the whole of Saturday in bed with a cup of hot chocolate.

"Yo! Hinamori!" Called a voice somewhere behind me, I turned.

"Oh hey Kukai, what's up?" He grinned at me.

"Ya gonna go or ya just gonna leave the door wide open like that?" I smiled at him.

"Well its just this cat…" I said as I stepped to the side of the door to show him.

"What cat? There's nothing there." He told me as he walked closer to me, I turned to look in disbelief and to my surprise found that the cat had in fact gone. Stood beside me Kukai felt my forehead with his left hand,

"Kukai?" I asked confused as he removed his hand.

"Well you don't have a temperature… are you feeling well? You're not acting like yourself."

"Now that you mention it, I think I need a lie down." I say meekly as he closes the front door to the apartment, together we walked back across the foyer, past the landlady at her desk and towards the elevator. We walked inside and Kukai pressed the button for the third floor, which is also the top floor. We both live on this floor but Kukai's room is further away from mine, as mine is isolated from everyone else's. The elevator dinged and the doors opened. In front of us stretched a long corridor that had rooms on both sides, at the end of the corridor stood one door by itself, that was my domain. We said goodbye as he walked into one of the rooms on the right, numbered '30'. I carried on straight for my room, numbered '39', I pulled the key from my jean pocket and unlocked the door, once inside I locked the door behind me.

The layout of my room was simple but cosy, which was just the way I liked it. As soon as you walk through the door the living room is right in front of you, to the right was a small table where I chucked my keys, on the hooks nearby I hung up my jacket. I took my shoes off and left them with my other shoes underneath the coat hooks. I put my slippers on and walked towards my sofa, also on the right was my bathroom, the door opened up near the Telly but they were far away from each other so no accidents could happen. Unusually there was a chill in the room so I closed the window, 'That's odd,' I thought, 'I didn't leave that open when I left.' On the far left was my bedroom, it was right next to the living room and in front of my kitchen that's to the left of the door when you first walk in. Before I could collapse on the sofa I walked back to the table where I abandoned my keys and picked up the house phone that sat there, I rung my workplace and told them I couldn't make it, then I went and collapsed on the sofa.

'So cosy…' I thought as I laid my head on two of the soft cushions that were sat on the sofa. I sighed in content, glad that I had escaped work at least one day, even if I was going insane… Within a few minutes reality left me as I fell asleep curled up on the sofa, I really despised getting up early, 6:00 am was torture on the body.

A few hours passed, and when I finally woke up I wished I had bothered to sleep in my bed, my whole body was cramped and aching and I had a strange sensation on the arm I had slept on. Groggily I sat up and stretched, looking at the watch on my left wrist I figured it was time for an early lunch, 'Eleven o' clock..' I thought to myself as I walked to the kitchen behind me, 'An extra, five hours. How'd I manage that?' I stretched again and just before I ventured inside my door-less kitchen, there was a loud crash. Upon inspection I scowled, my fridge door was wide open and a carton of milk had been dragged out and was now laying on the floor, it suffered a large crack in the side and milk poured out quickly. I glared at the cause of the mess, the cat from earlier hadn't noticed my entrance and was eagerly licking up the milk as if it was liquid gold. "How in hell did you manage to get in here?!" I screeched at it. The cat looked at me and rolled its eyes as if it was saying, "The window idiot." My fury increased as the cat went back to lapping up the milk. "B-but… you don't have thumbs, how did you open the fridge? A-and the window-w??" I stuttered slightly, as angry tears threatened to spill and my urge to scream grew.

"Meowrrrrrr!" It exclaimed as it turned to look at me, its blue eyes piercing my gold eyes, almost as if it was trying to talk to me. Shaking my head I pounced forward, "Come 'ere!" I shouted, it didn't move until I was closer to it, in a matter of seconds its claws were out and it swiped at me with a great big hiss. My eyes widened and I jumped back just in time to save my poor fingers, I screamed and ran back out the kitchen, I ran towards my bedroom door in panic. But before I could get there a small lump slammed into my back and I landed a few feet away from my door with a loud "Ooof!" as the air was knocked out of my lungs. I groaned and my body felt even more sore,

"MEOW!" Said the cat as it walked up my back until it sat on my shoulders, it leant forward and licked my cheek with its sand paper like tongue, I groaned once more and turned my neck to look at it. I've never seen a cat so smug before, it purred at me as I stared confused at it. Never in my life has a cat I encountered seemed so human like. "…You're not going to let me up are you?" I tried to sit up but the cat growled and sunk its claws into my right shoulder, "Owww!!" I whaled as tears sprung to my eyes.

"I don't have the intention to no. So you lie there and I'll speak." It said as the cat frowned at me, I blinked and then blinked again.

…

"ARGH!!! A TALKING CA-OUCH!!" I shouted, "Don't do that!" I pleaded as my shoulder was once again assaulted.

"I'll stop when you shut up." Replied the cat, "or else…" I stared wide eyed at the cat and nodded as best as someone could when they're pinned to the floor by a talking cat. "Good, now I'll begin." It said again, as it laid down.

'Sure get comfy…' I thought spitefully.

'Oh, I will.' Replied the cat. I gasped as I discovered I wasn't insane at all, instead this cat was one smart kitty.
