Disclaimer: I don't own Azumanga Daioh.
AN: Please read the authors notes at the bottom after reading so you can understand what went on with this fic. It's my first time trying this writing style, so I hope you all don't get too confused.
Daisuki, Neko
Hm…
"…new transfer student, Chiyo Mihama."
I wonder where I can get that Neco Coneco doll…
"…only 10, but smart enough to be in high school."
It's so cute. Maybe Chihiro can let me look at it after class…
-AZUMANGA DAIOH-
Career choices? Let's see…
Veterinarian will be my first choice. I hope they bring in a lot of cats. I don't mind dogs at all, either.
My second choice will be Florist. I love the smell of flowers, and they're so pretty.
…My final choice…it has to be good.
Ah! I got it.
Salesperson at a toy store. Perfect. That way, if they have any new shipments of Neco Coneco dolls, I can be the first one in line to buy it. And I'll have a discount because I work there. Yes, it's the perfect job.
"Hi…can I get your list?"
It's Chiyo-chan. I wish I were like her, she's so very cute and smart.
"Here."
Hm, the way she's always smiling that is cute. But…now she's looking at me funny.
I wonder why.
-AZUMANGA DAIOH-
My favorite thing to do has always been to walk. I love to walk. Well, my love fore walking comes after cats, I guess.
Oh, a video game arcade. Oh! Kitty dolls!
Another reason I love to walk: I might find something good. No, GREAT.
Oh no. It's one of those claw games. I've always been horrible at them…
Let's see…here's 50 yen, in the slot…
C'mon…I've almost got it…
No! So close. Well, here goes another 50 yen…
Okay. Concentrate. Concentrate. I got a tail…no! It slipped out, the little monster!
Here goes another 50 yen…
-x-
Urgh. It's already my tenth try and still no kitty doll. I'm almost out of yen…
Okay. I have 150 more yen. I can do this…
Another 50 in the slot. I am determined. I will get this, I will!
Slowly…slowly…
Hm, is it getting hot in here or is it just me?
Wait! Ignore the heat…concentrate…on the kitty…okay. Drop the claw…
Yes!! Right on the head! I got it, I got it! It's dropping down into the hole right now, I can't believe it! I can dance around in joy right now…well, maybe not.
Ah! It feels so soft and furry, I just have to hug it tight!
Wait! I still have 100 more yen! I can go for two more…I guess I should get going before my luck runs out.
-AZUMANGA DAIOH-
"Sakaki! Were you just playing video games?"
Oh, it's Kaorin. Hm? I wonder how long she's been standing out there. Oh! Did she see me playing the claw game? How embarrassing!
"Yeah, kind of…"
I hope she doesn't see my kitty dolls behind my back…
"So, you like fighting games or racing games?"
Phew. I guess she didn't see me after all. That was close.
"Yeah, I guess…"
"Really? I'm not very good at those."
Hm, she's really very perky around me. Maybe we can be friends…
AN: Okay, I don't really know where I'm going with this fic. It's my first Azumanga Daioh fic and I just knew I wanted to try a fic having Sakaki's thoughts throughout the manga, because she's always so quiet and we never really get to see what she's thinking.
Also, like I said, this writing style (first person, thoughts only, hearing only what the person hears), is very new to me, so bear with me. This chapter is also kind of short, but I'm just starting out. It also seemed like the best place to leave off the chapter for now...
The title means: I like you a lot, kitty. It's sort of a weird-ish title, but doesn't it sound better in Japanese? lol
This fic will be going through all four volumes of the Azumanga Daioh manga, but only the scenes with Sakaki in it (obviously). As you noticed, they are separated into groups, much like the manga. So if you haven't read all of it, and don't want spoilers, then…read the rest of it so you can read my fic! Hehe.
Thanks for reading and please review if you have the time to.
