Author's Notes: Yea o.0; Taking a momentary pause with Furokuu. I know exactly where I'm going with the story, just don't know how to write in correct words, the scene with the evil demon thing ..; 'cuz I suck at stuff like that. But I'm over-obsessed with writing about animals. Maybe it's because I study my animals all the time... Their movements, Their personalities, Their body structures. More or less, it's because I like drawing animals. But, I also like describing them in words. So, Wa-la. Animals rock. Also, another odd thing, is that, this is AU o.o; I hate AU stories. I almost never read them ('cept for some, because they're actually GOOD) because everyone is so out of character. But... When I got the idea for this fic, I wanted it to be AU... Dunno why ..; But... Hopefully, all you AU haters out there can bear with me. Thanks!

Meow...?
Sango Katsura blinked, paused, drew in a breath, and turned to look at the cat again. That thing's eyes were so scary! It just stared at you, orbs an endless pool of black knowledge, with human aspects, gleaming with delight and wisdom. The animal took a step forward, reached out it's paw to take another step, held it in mid-air, before seeming to change it's mind, and sit down instead, wrapping it's tail contractively around it's legs. It then looked up at Sango with that gleaming look in it's eyes.
Truthfully, Sango liked animals, but this one scarred her. And to make matters worse, it was black. Like... Evil black. And it wouldn't stop staring. Which was really starting to scare the crap out of her. She took in a breath, and then took 3 steps forward, before stopping abruptly, and turning around instantly to see if the cat was following her.
It was.
But when it noticed she stopped once again, it repeated the procedure it had just moments before; pausing, putting it's extended paw down, then sitting and wrapping it's tail around its legs, gazing up at her with concentrating pupils, all in a very calm matter, like it was doing nothing wrong.
Okay, now it was getting weird. The cat had been doing this for the past 15 minutes. Ever since she had began to return to her apartment with bags of clothes.
She had recently gone clothes shopping, something she despised... but her roommate, Kagome Higurashi, had insisted, and after Sango had ripped a hole in the knees of another pair of pants, Kagome had said the most horrible thing ever,
'If you don't go get some clothes, I'll buy some for you!'
Sango winced. That would have been terrible. Kagome was so preppy! She would have gotten mini-skirts and all those other things she liked to wear, and Sango, being the tomboy she was, would have been so sickened, she probably would have gotten rid of the clothes, and upset Kagome. So here she was stuck getting new clothes. She sighed. What was wrong with holes anyways?
Sango blinked, the cat blinked back. Odd... She then swallowed, and said to the animal, taking a brief moment, however, to notice an odd marking on its right leg, spots trailing in a sprial-zig-zag pattern upwards, stopping midway.
"Stop following me, Okay?"
She took in a breath, before noticing a flash of understanding through the cat's eyes. That was weird; she didn't expect the cat to understand at all.
She was now trembling slightly, fear overcoming her, which made her feel awkward, and stupid. Shaking because of a cat... How dumb.
"Just... Stay."
She added, and then turned to leave, walking with shaky legs away, and after the first ten steps or so, she turned her head, yet continued her walking pattern. Good... The cat had stopped following her. Strange, but good.
She took in a shaky breath, then turned her head back forwards, and continued towards her apartment. The cat, however, decided to take it's own path.
It turned it's back on her as well, and began walking the way it came, slinking into a dim alleyway. It repeated the same procedure for the third time; pausing with it's paw in mid-air, and then taking it back, only to wrap it's tail around its self.
And then it did something incredibly odd for a cat. It smirked, whiskers twitching.
The deadline was almost up. He had 23 days left. If the task remained uncompleted, he would be stuck like this forever. Stuck in a feline's body. Something he didn't want at all. But, luckily, he had picked out a girl, and he was determined to get it right this time...
This chapter is SCARILY short, I'm aware of that, but it's kinda like a prologue, I'm introducing the story, and leaving you on a cliffie... Sorta o.0; Anyways, Yea. Forgive me for the shortness, but I just don't feel like attaching part of the second chapter to the first. I did, and it just didn't fit o.0; Sooooooooooooo...Yea. Enjoy =D! Review if you want.
Hidoi: That basicly means, Review or else.
Saiko: T-T; I'm SO close to hurting you....
Hidoi: Eh heh heh ..;;;;
