AN - I do not own the Neko-ken/Cat-fist. I
am only borrowing it from the every wonderful Rumiko T. So don't go around
saying that I do, k?
~*Helga and the Cat-fist*~
Deep in the mists of Nerima, a demon was
lurking. He was looking for his next victim of the legendary Cat-fist. Someone
of which he could restore his spirit, his very being into.
"Yessssss, I found it. The next person
to acquire the soul of the Neko-ken. Yesssss, it is an easy target. I can feel
its very soul, even from so far away." Said the demon, hissing into the
night air.
And so the evil demon went in search for
its newfound victim.
Meanwhile, in Hey Arnold land...
Helga was fast asleep in her bed when she
awoke to a slight breeze in her room. She felt like someone or something else
was there with her. She looked around with fear written on her face... and
then, she saw it. It was a huge, cat-like creature. It looked almost demonic
with its sharp fangs and long, tantalizing claws just waiting to be dipped into
the skin of its unlucky prey. It looked almost spiritual, since she could see
right through it when it moved.
It started to approach her. First slowly,
then faster with every step. Helga could barely let out a breath from how much
shock she was in.
"Wha... wha... what are you?"
By this time, the creature was face-to-face
with her, staring directly into her eyes.
"I have come to give you a gift.
Something that will help you with all your problems."
"B...but I don't have any
problems." She lied.
"Of course you do. Everyone
does."
"But I live with 'em."
"Tell me now. What is the biggest
problem you have in your life?"
"Well, there's this guy I like, but he
doesn't know I like him."
"Hmmm...how interesting. And this guy
you like. Does he not like you back? Is that the problem?"
"Yes. He likes someone else. Someone
he too cannot have. And yet, she always seems to be trying to steel him from
me." She said with a sad expression on her face.
"What if I told you that I could give
you the power to keep that girl away from him?"
"I don't know. I'm not really supposed
to trust a demon, since it's perfectly obvious that's what you are. I mean how
many cat-like creatures do you see around town that can talk, let alone make
bargains?"
"My, aren't we wise?"
"What's it to you, pal?"
"What if I also told you that it would
that it would fulfill all your dreams? Including that guy you like?"
"Well...."
"Then it is done!"
Faster than she could see, the demon flew
around her and held it's paw against her head. At this point, Helga froze. She
couldn't move a muscle. She felt like someone was poking around in her mind.
Trying to find what, she did not know.
Images started to flash through the demon's
mind. Images of Helga's friend, Phoebe. Then, of the fights she would pick with
the other kids in her school. Finally, they focused on Lila and Arnold.
"Yessssss...here it is. This is what I
shall use to feed on."
Helga jumped for a minute as she felt even
more pressure being forced on her mind. She still could not move. She thought,
at that point, the creature was going to kill her. Then, she saw it, them
rather. Images started to flow through her mind. Images of CATS. Cats crawling
all over her, biting and scratching her. She felt the fear rise through her,
then the need to protect herself. Then the cats turned into images of Lila. She
started clawing at thin air. "Must get cat, must get cat." The fear
was surging through her, and with that fear came the undying need escape. She
relied only on instinct. An instinct to run. Run as fast as she could. Then,
out of nowhere, she heard it. The voice she loved for so long. "Need to
get to it." She thought. "Almost there."
So she ran as fast as she could. After what
felt like hours of running, she saw it, or rather him. He was tall compared to
her, now that she was a cat (or at least thought she was), with blonde hair and
blue eyes, and a head the shape of some kind of object she remembered seeing
kids play with (before, when her mind was clear, that is).
She ran towards him. As she was mere inches
away from him, a bright light filtered through her mind, engulfing her. When
she came to, she was once again in her room, but the cat-creature was gone.
"Maybe it was just a dream," she thought. But then she heard a voice
in her head. "Use my gift wisely. Ahahahahah." It was the cat
creature!!
Oh, my! What ever will happen to Helga. Does this mean that Lila's life is in danger, or is Helga's life in danger, or Arnold? Does Helga actually believe she's a cat? Will the Hey Arnold World ever be able to cope with this change? Stay right there, and I'll show you...ummm in the next chapter. :)
