KITTY PANIC

Author: Kazumi Kairi or Kairi-chan

Summary: Cat ears and tail suddenly sprout on Sakuno when she accidentally drinks Inui's latest juice. Total cuteness mayhem.

A/N: This story was actually inspired to my drawing of Sakuno with kitty ears and tail when I submitted/updated in my Deviant Art. Honestly, the plot just popped out of nowhere while I was also writing the 9th chapter of Hysteric Moon. This is the story I mention to fuzzy22 when she commented in my art entitled +Kitty Sakuno+ also my first page comic.

I hope this story will be funny and romantic at the same time.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Somewhere in the neighborhood, one residence where Inui lives is creating his latest version of his juice as there are a lot of fruits, liquids, and vegetables were scattered around the table he is using. His menacing smiles really creeps out as he stares his creation comes to its perfection.

"Just a little more and my Aozu version 10.5 is complete." He grinned evilly.

Panic 1: Neko Sakuno

Ryuuzaki Sakuno happens to be heading her way to the tennis court of Seishun Academy as she carries a heavy bag that seems impossible for her small body to carry it. Still she insisted to do it alone as she tries ignoring the fact while cheer herself quietly. As she's almost to her destination, she takes a quick glance at the certain tennis player with a FILA white cap. A slight blush appears on her cheek as she spots him.

"Ryoma-kun… when will you notice my presence?" she thought sadly.

Away from the shy girl, Fuji Syuusuke, Seigaku's Sadist Tensai, watches her secretly. He happens to be heading his way to the tennis court but when he notices her appearance he could only stares at her sad face in a distance.

"Nya. That's unlike of you to stare the coach's granddaughter, Fujiko-chan." Kikumaru Eiji popped out behind him as he watches the auburn haired girl. "Still harboring for Ochibi-chan. Nya?"

The brunette nods his head still looking at the Sakuno then he turns to the youngest regular. "Yet he won't acknowledge her." He added.

"Seigaku gather around, now!" the famous stoic captain Tezuka Kunimutsu barked.

The regulars Seigaku players and the members gather around facing Tezuka as they listen to his instructions. But what surprises in their sight that Sakuno is standing next to their tennis captain. The stoic captain notices their reaction as he sighs.

"Ryuuzaki-sensei told me yesterday her granddaughter volunteers to give out lunch. Be grateful to her kindness." Tezuka told them.

"HAI!" they replied.

With that, Sakuno starts distributing the lunch boxes to everyone just as its Ryoma's turn she shyly gives to him without eye contact. The youngest regular could only stare at her weirdly when he receives his. Just as everyone has their lunchboxes, they start to eat. Sakuno eats hers while she sits next to Ryoma which happen Momoshirou Takeshi a.k.a. Momo pushing the Prince of Tennis to sit with her.

"Umm…What do you think of my cooking, Ryoma-kun?" she asks him worryingly.

"Hn." Ryoma replied coldly. "Still 'mada mada'."

The petite girl slumps depressingly at the Prince of Tennis's cold answer yet she manages to keep her best smile as if she isn't affected earlier. However, Fuji could see through everything behind her smile. Looking at it somehow makes him feel sad whenever he sees the pain of her face. The sadist tensai is about to open his mouth until the Data player interrupts first.

"You seem a little thirsty, Ryuuzaki-san. Perhaps a juice would satisfy your throat." Inui offered her.

"Ah… thank you, Inui-senpai." She thanks him gratefully as she takes the cup from his hand.

"AH! RYUUZAKI-SAN THAT'S!!" Oishi warned her.

Too late the shy girl already drinks the whole cup much to his discomfort. As she finishes her drink she looks completely fine to their surprise, excluding Inui and Tezuka, that she could copes the drink. As Sakuno is still fine, she feels a little hazy as her visions are starting to blur little by little until she blacks out completely.

She cannot remember what happens next. The only thing she could remember groping in pitch darkness without any lights. She tries calling out for her grandmother yet no words coming out of her voice. She slumps down crying like a five year old girl who had lost her favorite doll. The next thing she knew she hears familiar voices. Standing up from the ground, she tries to follow it yet for somehow one of the voices is louder than the others still for some reason she knows that voice very well and it isn't Ryoma's voice.

She continues to follow it until she finally opens her eyes finding herself lying on a bed in a school clinic. She looks around only to see the Seigaku regulars in the room.

"What happened to me?" she asked as she slowly sits up while looking at the regulars.

"You were unconscious after you drank one of Inui's Penal Tea." Oishi told her.

I see so that's what happened she trailed. She sighs in relief after she looks around to see her grandmother. Thank goodness she isn't, if she has then she would have given punishment to the regulars whoever done something bad to her.

"I didn't know you like to dress up like a cat, Ryuuzaki-chan." Fuji smiles at her.

The petite girl blink her eyes confuse what the sadist Tensai had said. She turns her attention to the other regulars but she sees everyone, except Tezuka, Ryoma and Inui, shared a shocking expression while they're staring at her.

This can't be good, she thought accordingly.

She looks around to find some mirror alas there isn't. Not even a single mirror even a smallest one she could ever find. Then she tries reaching her hand above her head and felt soft YET furry. She tries her other hand to touch the other side of her head again she felt the same thing like the first one. Her face turns a sudden pale after feeling it.

"WHHHHAAAATTTTT!!" Sakuno screamed in horror.

It's no dream as she has pair of cat ears sticking above her head. She tries to remove as if it's a costume but when she pulls them she felt the pain. Tears are about to come out from her eyes but then she realize something. If she has pair of cat ears then she should have, her thoughts trail.

She extends her left hand from behind searching for something until she felt another furry thing except it seems long. Holding it she tries to yank slowly yet she yelps in pain agony. No doubt, she also has a tail too as it moves from side ways.

"NYA!! YOU'RE ADORABLE, RYUUZAKI-CHAN!!" Eiji grinned as he hugs her.

"What happened to me!?" she yelped panic kingly in between her gasps.

"INUI!" the stoic captain demanded explanation to the Data player.

"It seems the one you drank it's actually one of my latest Aozu version 10.5 that I created last night and I ACCIDENTALLY gave you." Inui inform. "However, I hate to say this, that juice WASN'T complete yet."

"So it wasn't supposed to be this way…" Ryoma trails.

Inui nods again yet writes continuously in his notebook. "We have to be thankful, Ryuuzaki-sensei isn't here today or she'll have our heads." He added.

Everyone nodded in agreement as their thoughts shiver imagining their angry coach seeing Sakuno looking that way. They imagine they would suffer BIG consequences which they, except Tezuka, Inui and Fuji, fear most.

"Speaking… of… umm… my grandmother where she?" she asked them curiously as her cat ears perk up and her tail moves around.

Once again the regulars just stare at her with dead silence in the air. Some of them share the same nervous expression as if they're having a difficult to choose the right words. None of them say anything until the stoic captain speaks first.

"Didn't she tell you that she's going away for a week?" Tezuka revealed causing the timid girl's eyes widen as her cat ears and tail goes up in shock. The acrobatic lad once again hugs her again since she looks so adorable with the look.

"I'm guessing she hasn't told her that yet." Kawamura nervously smile.

Knowing that they need to put her back to normal, the Dunk specialist turns his attention to Inui. "Do you have the remedy, Inui-senpai?" Momo asked the Data player.

Inui's glasses glinted which causes the Dunk specialist to move back from him. "Actually I don't have it." He confessed.

Again Sakuno looks even more frantic at Inui's announcement than her grandmother's absence as if she's being sucks in by a black hole.

"What should I do now!!" she cried in panic.

Panic 1 Ends

Next Chapter

Panic 2: Where I Stay

"What shall I do now? I can't go out looking like this!" she panicked.

Sakuno is in greatly panic as her cat ears folded down and tail moves around nervously. The male tennis players were staring at her with different reactions except for Ryoma and Tezuka who shared the expressionless yet with slight sweat on their skin. Inui just keeps on writing and muttering 'interesting data' on the poor girl. Oishi, Momo and Takeshi look frantic while staring at cat ears and tail. Kaidoh is trying to restrain himself on petting her head like a real cat. And finally Fuji, he just smiles to his amusement as he finds her really cute.

A/N: Now that ends my first chapter. This shall be the beginning of the fun and mayhem! I have to be more thankful I use my free time to finish this chapter since I started my school year.

Well that's end here…. Don't forget to leave a review!
