A Feline Life

Summer vacation had started, but that did not stop Sakura Kinomoto from being out on duty today, trying to solve the mystery of why sudden bizarre occurrences were taking place in Tomoeda. They all thought that the adventure was over once Sakura had captured all the Clow Cards, but a month ago strange things had started to occur once again. It wasn't the Clow Cards doing this time around, and so Sakura and Syaoran, occasionally accompanied by Tomoyo Daidoujii, were trying to solve the mystery and return the peace. Today was no exception, as the three friends were heading into Tomoeda High School in the late evening. Even though the school building was closed and locked for the summer, they had no trouble in entering the empty building.

Tomoyo Daidoujii was secretly happy that she had the chance to dress up her best friend with her outfits, and in some occasions she would persuasively make Syaoran wear his custom made outfits too. It was one of her many hobbies as well as recording her best friend in action. Even though she mostly feared for their safety and knew that she was putting herself in danger, Tomoyo still insisted in coming because she couldn't bare not knowing if their friends were alright. By being there, Tomoyo wanted to make sure Sakura and Syaoran were well and if she could, Tomoyo wanted to help as much as possible.

As the three of them quickly ran up the staircase to the third floor, Tomoyo couldn't help but keep her camcorder focused on Sakura. Today would be her last adventure with her friends before she headed to Hawaii with her mother for a 3 weeks vacation. It was a very pleasant surprise that she found out yesterday when her mother announced their vacation plans over the phone. It had been months since the last time Tomoyo had any quality time with her mother. She was looking forward for tomorrow. Although a bit reluctant to leave Tomoeda and Sakura, Tomoyo wished to see her mother before she returned to her usual hectic schedule.

Tomoyo soon fell behind as Sakura and Syaoran, naturally very swift and agile, had no trouble in reaching the landing as they hurriedly made their way down the corridor. Tomoyo reached the landing a minute later as she stood standing alone in the empty hallway. She had heard a door being swung open but she couldn't know what room they had chosen to enter. Tomoyo looked towards her right side and then to the left, but there was no sign of her friends. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of something entering the last room at the end of the hallway. Smiling, Tomoyo quickly made her way to the room, knowing that she might have seen the end of Sakura's outfit before it trailed inside.

As she reached the classroom, Tomoyo did not hesitate to open the door and step inside, but who she expected to see was not who she found. Tomoyo stood there paralyzed as she was standing before a beautiful unknown creature. It was the first time she had ever encountered such an elegant and graceful being. Whatever it was, the creature just stood before her calmly with its butterfly wings swaying behind its back. The shiny sapphire coat of fur glowed under the moonlight as well as the silver butterfly crest on its chest. The huge creature would have scared anyone who might have thought it was a panther because of its close resemblance to the animal, but Tomoyo strangely felt calm and in great awe. Her amethyst eyes was kept steady by the creature's soft blue eyes that showed no threat. She found herself stepping forward wondering how it got here.

"Tomoyo!" Called a warning voice as her eyes averted to the source of the sound.

Syaoran was entering the room from the back door as he was already positioning himself for battle. The creature noticed his presence as well and its stance became guarded. What came next was too quick for her to comprehend as she saw a flash of green and yellow light collide and causing a huge explosion. Her body was suddenly engulfed by a sudden rush of light and she could feel something grab inside of her body and yank it forward. Her vision began to blur and she was wrapped into something very warm and foreign.

"Tomoyo!" She heard a female voice and she knew it was Sakura calling her. "Tomoyo I am coming!"

"Quick Sakura. He is getting away!" This time it was Syaoran speaking.

Tomoyo suddenly felt a gush of wind blow her face. She tried to call out for Sakura but she heard no sound coming out of her mouth. She tried again but to no avail. Tomoyo wanted to move, she wanted to run towards her friend's voice, but nothing seemed to happen. All she felt was this strange tingling feeling all over her body before she felt drowsy. She tried keeping her eyelids from falling, but it was an impossible task as she struggled to no success. The last thing she felt before she lost consciousness was a warm hand holding her safely.

"Suppi!" Called a distinctive voice, but Tomoyo couldn't identify who the person was. "Are you awake? Suppi?"

Tomoyo stirred slowly as she felt her body ache. She was able to open her eyes as her vision began to clear and focus on the person before her. Tomoyo gasped as she saw who greeted her with a worried expression. Nakuru Akizuki, but not exactly her, it was a person that looked like Nakuru except that her hair color was different and there were butterfly wings attached on her back.

"Who are you?" Tomoyo found herself questioning, but quickly shut her mouth as a foreign sound had come out of her mouth. She tried again a bit skeptic. "Who are you?"

There it was again that unknown voice that sounded deep and a bit rough. She tried clearing her throat. "Who-" She closed her mouth again hearing that nothing had changed and that her voice had possibly become of a boy.

Nakuru, Tomoyo assumed she was, laughed before inching closer towards Tomoyo's face and still looking concerned. "What are you trying to say, silly Suppi! Have you caught amnesia or something? You should rest. Try getting some sleep."

"Why are you calling me Suppi?" Tomoyo questioned. Nakuru laughed some more before patting her head gently.

Tomoyo then realized that something was terribly wrong as she stared at Nakuru's hand and saw how big it was compared to her face. The proportion was wrong. Tomoyo knew that Nakuru was several inches taller than she was in height, but she couldn't be this tiny. Quickly she looked down towards her hand and her eyes widen in horror. What she saw was two furry paws. This couldn't be right. She then raised her hands and the paws followed her command.

"This is really me?" Tomoyo gasped in confusion and horror. Her eyes then scanned the whole room and for the first time she realized this wasn't her bedroom or any other room in her house. "Where am I?"

Nakuru leaned forward, now very concerned that her friend was sounding perplexed. "Suppi you better rest. I think you will feel better in the morning."

"Nakuru." She tentatively tried.

She nodded and smiled. "Yes?"

Tomoyo hesitantly continued trying to maintain her calm and make sense of the whole bizarre situation. "What happened?"

Nakuru sheepishly smiled as she suddenly stepped back a bit guilty and scratched the back of her head while looking away. "Um, you see. There was a bit of an accident."

"What accident?" Tomoyo asked as she tried to stand up to make her way to Nakuru, but her body began to ache.

Nakuru seeing that she wanted to lift herself, quickly approached and laid her comfortable back down onto the pillow she was resting on. "Don't move. You are very weak, that is why you returned into your small form. You won't be able to fly for a couple of weeks as well."

Tomoyo watched as she remembered what had happened before. She was suppose to be with Sakura and Syaoran at Tomoeda High, but she had entered the wrong classroom and encountered a strange but beautiful creature. The creature also had the same butterfly wings that Nakuru had right now, except the colors were different. Suppi, she now assumed, must be the creature Tomoyo met and Nakuru's friend, and presumedly her for now. All this new information began to cause her a headache as more questions began to form and no answers were being given.

Tomoyo's attention was called upon the door opening and someone entering the room. Nakuru smiled as she greeted someone cheerfully.

"Master, Suppi is awake." She announced. "But I think he hit his head a bit too hard."

The person chuckled before heading towards Tomoyo. Her eyes widen in great shock as she stared at the very familiar face who she had grown to call as friend. Why was he here?

"Is there something on my face?" Asked Eriol Hiiragizawa amused at how Spinel was gaping at him.

"No. Nothing." Tomoyo replied back still in shock to find Eriol leaning before her and softly caressing her head.

Tomoyo froze and then tried to shy away from his touch, but his warm hand was soothing. She was too weak to push away. Eriol then settled a cup in front of her and the aroma smelled delightful.

"Drink up Spinel. I made you some herbal tea. It will make you feel better once you wake up tomorrow." Eriol spoke as he then slowly stepped back and watched.

This was the first time Tomoyo could attentively observe him up close. He was tall for his age, taller than most of the boys in her grade, but his build did not make him scrawny. His skin was fair, almost as fair as her own skin, and fortunately his fairness only emphasized his strong features. Eriol was popular among girls in Tomoeda High because of his face, and Tomoyo had to agree that he was very handsome. His long fingers raked back his silky midnight hair away from his beautiful azure eyes. Tomoyo saw his azure pools gaze back at her with profound worry, and it was the first time she saw him express such emotion. It was somehow very soothing to know that someone showed such concern for her well-being.

Tomoyo pulled her gaze away as she looked down towards her cup of tea. She was taken aback when she saw her reflection for the first time. Her face was of a cat with big blue eyes. Her fur coat was the same as she had seen of the magnificent creature before, but now she was a tiny creature that looked like a defenseless kitten. She had to admit that Spinel was very cute. Her appearance was the least of her worries. Tomoyo wondered if she would be able to turn herself back into normal. More questions were swarming in as she tried to puzzle everything together inside her head. Slowly she gathered everything she knew and put together informations she recalled to make sense of the situation. The conclusion left Tomoyo guarded as she cautiously looked up towards Eriol, now realizing he must be the one behind the bizarre phenomenon occurring in Tomoeda.

"It can't be true." She found herself voicing out her thoughts. "Can it?"

"Excuse me?" Asked Eriol as he came to face her.

Tomoyo quickly backed away, but the movement only caused her pain as her body was still healing.

"Don't move Spinel." Eriol spoke gently as he softly put her back into her original position. "The explosion that Nakuru caused back there must have hit you pretty hard."

"Explosion?" Tomoyo asked wondering what had happened. She did remember the flash of lights and her body being sucked into something warm.

"Yes. Tomoyo had found you in the classroom, but Syaoran came in to rescue her. He must have thought you were going to harm Tomoyo and so he threw a charm towards your way. Nakuru being hasty, as always, drew her magic and that caused an explosion when both magic collided." Eriol explained calmly, still observing Spinel carefully, as the feline heard the story in shock.

"That must have caused this." Tomoyo concluded as she looked down at her body, realizing that the explosion had made her switch her body with Spinel.

That also meant, to Tomoyo's horror, that Spinel must have taken over her human body. "What happened to Tomoyo!" She quickly demanded in worrisome.

"She is fine. Sakura got to her and took her away to her mansion with the help of Syaoran. Although she is unconsciously sleeping tonight, she will be fine the next morning." Eriol spoke.

Even though Tomoyo was glad that her body was safe that didn't make matters any better. What will Spinel do once he gained consciousness? He would actually, Tomoyo concluded, be boarding the plane to Hawaii with her mother early the next morning. He would not have enough time to come here and warn Eriol of what had happened. It was up to Tomoyo to tell them the truth, but if what she had puzzled together was right, then she should wait. Eriol was Sakura's new enemy, the person who has caused all that phenomenon. Tomoyo needed to warn Sakura about Eriol and act as a spy for now. Since she was going to be stuck in this feline body until the real Spinel came back from the three weeks summer vacation in Hawaii, she should take this opportunity to help Sakura and Syaoran.

"Is something wrong?" Asked Eriol worriedly as he once again caressed Spinel's head.

Tomoyo gazed up and saw his azure eyes glow with worrisome, and she somehow felt guilty to be plotting against him. "Nothing wrong. I am just tired." Tomoyo replied back.

Nakuru approached and began brushing her fur. "Suppi, Suppi please forgive me." She spoke guiltily.

Tomoyo couldn't help but to laugh at the childish expression formed upon Nakuru's face. It was as if she was scolded by her parents for not finishing her homework. "It's alright Na-chan." Tomoyo suddenly found herself replying back softly.

Nakuru stared back, eyes wide. "Since when do you call me that? Or better yet! Why aren't you complaining back? Or hexing me? Or scolding me? Or cursing me?"

Tomoyo laughed. Was that what Spinel would really do to her friend? "I am just tired." She offered an excuse.

Nakuru smiled back. "I like this Suppi better Eriol."

Eriol chuckled before bringing the blanket around Tomoyo's neck. "Sleep Spinel. You need your rest."

She only nodded her head silently, before Eriol took the cup of tea away from her side and Nakuru stepped back. Her eyelids became heavy as she welcomed sleep. The last thing she saw was Eriol smile warmly at her.
