Too High To Fly – Chapter 1
"Miss Yoshioka?" … "Miss Yoshioka?" … "HARU!"
Haru woke up from her sleep. She had expected her mother standing and yelling but instead it was her math teacher. She forced her body to sit up very fast and got a little head rush. She heard loud giggles throughout the class and she blushed. She blushed because she always talks in her sleep.
I wonder what I said now. She said her eyes still adjusting to the light.
She looked around her until her eyes met her teacher's. She could feel the angry feeling in Mr. Kakuro's eyes and almost felt herself fading away from bare embarrassment.
"Can you please go outside for the rest of the lesson, Miss Yoshioka?" she heard how the words were forced to be calm.
This wasn't her first time sleeping after all.
She looked at Hiromi who had a worried look at her face. Since Haru had come home from her 'little' adventure, she had always fallen asleep in class. And she had also passed out numerous of times – but she had only told Hiromi about it. Her mother would have forced her to eat some weird herbs, she didn't even know exited.
*****
She went outside the door and after a while she found it way too boring to sit on the floor so she went outside. She could now feel that she became very dizzy very fast so she hurried to sit on the grass beneath her.
She didn't understand why it was like this. She ate right, she drank enough water. But like that wasn't enough, she had had a whole lot of nightmares. But they were never the same.
Not to dwell on the negative thoughts she lay down in the sun. She took her hand and covered for the sun.
She didn't really notice a big change so she sat up but then gasped. She could almost see through her own legs. Panicking she held out her arms and saw the same thing. She gasped again when a white cat stood in front of her.
She realized very quickly who it was. "Yuki!" she cried out and went to embrace her but her arms went right through.
"Yuki, what is happening to me?" she almost yelled hysterically.
Yuki sat down beside her.
She started talking with a calm voice but Haru could see through the act and knew it was forced.
"Lune told me that this was to be expected." Yuki didn't want to see Haru's panicked face so she closed her eyes. "Before Lune and I got married his father was reading an awful lot."
He never used to read. But when Baron broke his purple cat eye he wanted to get revenge. What he wanted was that Baron would slowly fade away into nothing." She sighed, clearly concerned.
"But soon the King changed his revenge. His strategy changed."
You became his target. You, who had humiliated him in front of almost his whole staff, became his other plan."
This way you would be gone and his revenge on Baron would be complete"
"Does this mean that I am going to fade away into nothing?" She barely whispered.
She could hear Yuki strain herself into remaining calm.
"Yes. But it is a little more complicated than that." The white cat gave out a sigh.
"For every time you blush you will become more and more transparent."
But as you see it's only temporary," Haru looked at herself. She couldn't see through her legs anymore.
She sighed.
"Is this the 'revenge' then?" She asked. "The Cat King could have done better" she added.
Yuki looked at her. "No, that's not quite that."
"You see, everytime you are embarrassed you begin to blush. And if you blush enough you will be gone for sure."
Haru looked shocked.
"You should ask the Cat Bureau for help."
This is a problem only one cat can solve", Yuki added.
*****
Haru knew where this was going. She would see her favourite friends.
She remembered what Baron had told her the day the adventure ended.
"The Cat Bureau's doors will always be open be it day or night"
Yes. This was what she had to do.
Yuki saw Haru's hope and they said their goodbyes.
Haru jumped up from the grass and ran as quick as she could towards the bureau. But what she didn't know was that a couple of silver coloured eyes were watching her.
