Hi to everyone here on the Cat's Return section on this site. Now just so everyone here knows this not my first fanfic. I've actually written quite a large amount on the Super Smash Bros. section and I've written two so far on the Bleach section. However, this is my first Cat's Returns fanfic so I hope that you enjoy it.
The plot for this story is really simple since well, recently I've become quite fond of writing "what if" stories. (which is where I change the main plot a little bit thereby making a whole new story altogether) Anyway the summary is after Haru saves Lune's life she wakes up that smae night to see him standing there on his hind legs again. And to her surprise not only does he have a gift that he wants to give to her as a mean of thanks he also has a request from his father that he has to tell her. But when Haru hears his father's request she might be taken by surprise.
Okay so yeah not the greatest of summaries (I don't want to give too much) but I still hope you guys will enjoy this story.
I don't own anything.
MisMatched Eyes Of Affection
Haru laid in bed still not fully believing that the cat she had saved earlier that day had talked to her. She somehow found herself a bit more surprised when she remembered when he had said that he had hoped that she had not injured herself on his account. But since her mother had told her about the time when she had talked to a small white kitten then it most be true that she can somehow talk to and understand cats. However, the high school student couldn't help but think that perhaps she was only able to understand those two cats was because they weren't your "average" run of mil of cat. Not wanting to dwell on the subject which would therefore make her not wake up when her alarm would go off the brunette slowly but surely fell into a sound sleep.
Two or three hours later though Haru suddenly awoke to hear meowing from the streets as she whispered, "I wonder what's going on down there."
She quietly walked down the stairs (so she wouldn't wake up her mother) and once she opened the front door to see what was going on she was very surprised at what she saw. There standing at the other end of her walkway was that same gray cat from earlier...only he was wearing a white uniform on the upper part of his body. She then looked to her right and saw a light blue mixed with a bit of gray furred cat wearing a dark purple kimono along with a pair of what looked to be tinted glasses. And when she looked to her left she saw four tan colored cats holding onto a skinny sliver box, the three in the back wore a red uniform (just on the upper body) and a red helmet type hat, while the one in front of the three wore the same uniform only in blue.
She was surprised when she heard the kimono wearing cat clear his throat as he began with, "Let me ah..." He stopped however, when he realized that she was a bit too far away from the small group and when he pointed to her the young girl pointed at herself as he nodded and asked, "Could you come over here?"
After Haru had slowly taken a few steps towards the group of the cats the light blue cat spoke again with, "Please allow me to introduce to you the prince of our kingdom and the next heir to the throne, our kind hearted and calm minded prince, Prince Lune."
Haru then looked over at the mismatched eyed cat as she let out, "You're a prince..."
He nodded as the light blue cat went on with, "Let it be known that because of your act of bravery the prince would like to express his gratitude by presenting you with a gift."
After that had been said the four tan furred cats lifted the box towards Haru, but instead of reaching for it right away she protested with, "Wait, why isn't the King thanking me?"
"The King would have thanked you in his own words, but the Prince insisted on coming in his father's place." The kimono wearing cat replied, as he adjusted his glasses.
She then looked back at the prince as she asked, "Why did you come all the way here? I know you said that you would come back to thank me properly, but I thought you heard me say that you didn't need to do that?"
The prince nodded in understanding as he replied, "I know that you had said that I didn't need to come back to thank you. But I just felt that it would be improper of me not to give you something."
"Um, okay." Haru responded back with, as she reached for the box. And once she had gotten a hold on it the four cats let go of it and after she opened she gasped when she saw the item that was inside. There sitting in the box was a pure gold chain and at the end of it was a red jewel as she smiled and said, "Thank you, but really this too much."
After she had said this Lune tilted his head to the side as he asked, "Is something wrong?" Now a bit worried that perhaps he had given her the wrong type of "thank you" gift.
The young girl shook her head from side to side as she replied, "No, no it's a lovely necklace thank you. It's just that I've never been given something this nice before is all."
The prince nodded in understanding as his eyes widen while he asked, "My apologizes, but I never asked you what your name was."
Haru gently smiled as she stated, "My name's, Haru."
Lune smiled back as he bowed and said, "It is very nice to meet you Miss Haru." He then lifted his head up as his expression seemed to sadden a bit as he added, "And I am pleased that you like my gift. However, there is another reason why I give this to you."
Hearing this caused Haru to be the one to tilt her head to the side as the prince continued with, "You see my father had somehow found out about you saving my life. And he was going to be the one to thank you...but as Natori had explained earlier I wanted to come here in his place." Haru nodded as he went on with, "And I am sorry to tell you this, but my father told me that he wants me to bring you back to the Cat Kingdom so that he can meet you in person and thank you his own way." The young girl then noticed the prince look slightly away as he ended with, "Which is fine and good, but you must know that if a human like yourself stays within our kingdom for too long then they will start to turn into a cat themselves. That is if they don't return to the Human World before the next sunrise."
The grey furred noble cat heard the young girl gasp and when he looked up he saw her eyes were with filled with fear. He then tried to calm her nerves as he reassured her with, "But please don't worry about that, because as long as you're wearing that necklace while in the Cat Kingdom then you will still be human."
"What?" Haru asked, completely caught off guard. She looked at the red jewel as she added, "So if I wear this then I'll be able to stay for as long as I want without having to worry about changing into a cat?"
Lune nodded making her sigh with slight relief as she said, "Well, that's good. So when does the King want to see me?"
Natori quickly turned a page on his clipboard as he answered her with, "The King told me that he wanted to see you at the front gate of the castle by tomorrow night."
"By tomorrow night?" Haru asked, shock evident in her voice. Both cats nodded making her sigh in defeat as she ended with, "Well, I since I don't really see anyway out of this I guess I will come visit your Kingdom tomorrow, sire."
Hearing the young girl say this caused the prince to lightly blush as he protested with, "Please Miss Haru, you don't need to stand on ceremony with me. But thank you for accepting my father's invitation."
Haru then watched in awe as Lune turned his back towards her and opened up a blue portal right in front of her as the four tan cats, (which she guessed where Lune's guards) and Natori jumped into it which took them back to their kingdom. Before the prince jumped through it however, he turned and smiled as he said, "I'll be coming back tomorrow around in the evening to accompany you back to the castle. And I would highly suggest bringing something that can keep track of time."
Haru then watched as the grey furred prince jumped into the portal and just like that it closed as if it were never there. And after a minute or two the high school student sighed as she mumbled, "I really need to get some sleep."
Okay so there ends the first chapter. And I know that it most likely wasn't the best (since this always seems to be a problem with me) but I assure you that this story will get better. So leave a review and I would also like to thank YarningChick for inspiring me to do this story since her stories are really good. Will try to update soon.
