Summary : Who believed in fairy nowadays? Yet Kumon Kaito was forced to believe one now, because he accidentally made one fairy turned him into a cat.. BananaOrange.
Author's Note : I was surprised that Sano Gaku (Kouta's actor) actually owns some cats. I checked some of his posts on his blog, there were a few photos if his cute cats :3 And recently in Pixiv, I found Kaito's fanarts being a cat.. So yes, why not combined it and making a fanfic about that, lol.
Chapter 1 : Fairy?
Quick footsteps echoed on the empty street as his long coat flew behind him. His brown hair were swept by the wind, didn't care if it ruined his carefully-styled hair. His performance on the Inves game and dance team had been down lately, thanks to some certain individuals. Kaito was irritated that he couldn't showcase his power and the progress on his battle skills. All that he have been carefully built, crumbled in front of his eyes. He had been running around and training inside Helheim Forest for his perfect goals, which was now delayed by annoying issues.
It couldn't get gloomier than now, as the afternoon sky hide behind the heavy grey clouds. He could't help noticed the chilly breeze and decided to calm his mind for now. Now it was better if he got home as fast as he could.
As the sharp-eyed man turned around the corner, he was astonished to hear a loud mewl. His head turned downwards, to see a small kitten hissing as his right foot accidentally stepped on its tail. He reflexively retrieved back his wandering foot and felt a slight guilt that his hasty walk hurt this young kitten. But before he could do anything, he could hear a shrieking voice coming closer to him.
"YOU! What did you do to the poor cat?" said the feminine voice, while the voice took a form as a small white sphere, glowing radically. Kaito was too stunned to move or talk. Magical phenomenon like this still shocked him even though he faced Inves monsters and other Armored Riders almost daily. But this time, he was aware that this.. thing.. was absolutely angry at him.
"I.. didn't know that there was a kitten here." Kaito just said what he thought as the right thing to said, although he knew he should've said an apology first. Well, he could say that after he finished explaining his situation."I was in a hurry a few minutes ago."
"Are you just saying that you didn't care for the cat? The poor kitty was here searching for its mother! Didn't you hear its cry?"
Really? He must be really in wrath for not hearing any mewling..
"I had enough of human harassing helpless creatures, and you shall pay for what you've done!"
All of a sudden, his vision was blinded by the strong light emitted from the mysterious sphere. The next time, Kaito was awoken by the soft pitter-patter of the rain. He tried to stand, but found his body wobbled back to the ground on all four. Then he saw something strange. Why was he surrounded by large buildings? He was sure he was walking near the people's residence.. Why the street looked so wide? Why the trees looked so big? And why he couldn't be on his two feet? Horror washed over his face as he looked as his hand. Which looked like a cat's paw. And he saw a fluffy tail from the side of his eyes. He couldn't believe it if he didn't see it himself, a small puddle just formed as the rain getting heavier. The raindrops made the image blurred but he could saw what he become.
Kumon Kaito had just turned into a cat.
What the hell should he do now?
His body now was covered with brown and black stripes, with a lion-like mane around his neck. The tail was a mass of soft fur with the same stripes. White fur dominating his neck area and stomach. His eyes were golden with a trace of green iris, the sharp ears perked on his head, sensitive to the distant sound of the thunder. With such a smaller body compared to human, the cold air rapidly rushed into his inner skin. He found a nearby pile of trash, hopping under a box then wished for the rain to go away as fast as it can.
A few minutes later, his ear moved again to hear a continuing splashes. Maybe it was a person running under the rain. His new body functioned too well, now sounds were easier to recognized and body shivered like it was a snowy day. But then the splashes stopped and softer ones heading towards him. He was getting wary as he realized the person was removing his temporary hideout.
But he knew this person, wearing blue parka with a Japanese samurai print on the back with khaki-colored pants that was now stained with murky water. His face displayed his goofy smile as he found the cat.
"I knew there was something here!" said Kouta, crouching down and didn't care he would drenched his clothes further. "Come here, Neko-chan*!"
Neko-chan? Did he just called him neko-chan? Well, technically he was a cat, but somehow hearing that from a person he considered rival was.. vexing. What the hell did Kazuraba wants anyway?
The Cat Kaito ignored him, averting his gaze in annoyance. Kouta pouted and tried to convinced the cat."I don't think the rain will stop anytime soon, you're gonna need a better place to rest. Come with me, okay?"
That sounded logic though. With a body like that, he didn't really have any option. Those thunders really getting into his nerves and he hated how enhanced the volume was into his ear. But before his decision was made, Kouta grabbed the small body and paced again, paying no attention to the sudden growl of protest from the drenched cat. "I promise I will bring you back here, don't worry!"
Kaito stopped his disapproval, at least he was with someone he was familiar with. It would be bad if Kouta didn't crossed his path and he knew the man would fulfill his promise. For now, he would follow the man's order.
*neko-chan : an affectionate way to call a cat.
Author's Note : If you wonder what kind of cat Kaito is, you can googled Norwegian Forest Cat. I thought the mane reminds me of Kaito's slightly long hair, tee hee~ :3
I'm starting to feel that magical things like this makes me easier to write.. Maybe I should have another magical topics the next time I wrote a fanfic..
