On with the story.
The first thing Anna realized as she pulled her pillow over her head that there was an extremely noisy dog nearby that needed to be silenced. Which was an odd thing, as niether she or Yoh even lived near a house with a dog, let alone own one. Reluctantly sitting up, she blinked a few times before getting out of her bed and putting on a robe over her pyjamas, wondering what on earth was going on. It seemed like the barking was coming from one of the guest bedrooms. She vaguely recalled agreeing to having Manta over for the night, at Yoh's pleading. There was also that little subject if the Shaman boy and the tiny one were merely friends; they spent almost too much time with one another to be just that.
"Yapyapyapyapyapyap!" Anna gritted her teeth as she opened the door to Manta's room, becoming more irritated by the moment. The barking was most definitely in here...
In front of the floor-length mirror, fur standing on end, was a small long-haired chihuahua barking its head off at the reflection in the mirror. She noticed that it was the same colour as Manta's hair, but the dog's belly and tail tip were white. And then, without further ado, she dealt the panicked little canine a swift kick. The tiny dog went sailing off, landing on the bed and then hid beneath the covers to the bed. Anna looked around. There was no sign of Manta, but his clothes were in a pile under the sheets were the chihuahua was hiding.
"When I find you Manta, you are so dead. How dare you let that mutt into my house..." The itako murmured softly, and the small blonde chihuahua yelped and dove further under the blankets. After leaving Manta's otherwise vacant bedroom in disgust and locking the door-- Anna did NOT want that yappy littledog running around the inn-- she proceeded to Yoh's room to ask him where Manta had gone.
In a rare display of emotion, her eyes widened when she saw that 'her' Yoh was gone, and in the bed, snoring like nothing was out of place, was a mahogany brown mixed-breed dog with short fur and triangular ears. It raised its head and yawned widely, then looked over at Anna and blinked. Anna simply stood there as the dog got out from under the sheets and sniffed itself before looking back at her and wagging its tail.
Something was definitely wrong here.
Okay, a short first chapter, but I think that was a good place to stop. Like it? Hate it? Drop a review, please!
