A/N: I decided to upload the next chapter early since I got my first review! Thank you so much Pandora99! I'm very glad you liked it! After this I'll start trying to update weekly until I catch up to what I have prewritten. After that, well, I'm a busy and lazy girl…

Disclaimer: if I owned, Pandora Hearts wouldn't be nearly as awesome.

…

Gilbert was resting peacefully in his room, but that didn't last. He woke up to find a white cat with the creepiest expression ever sitting on his chest and watching him. Naturally, his screaming woke everyone up and they all rushed to his room. There was a collective sweatdrop as they saw Gilbert faint and a white, extremely amused looking cat with only one eye. Reim woke up Gil with a cup of water.

"C-Cat... there was a cat. Why was there a cat!"

"We don't know, but it's disappeared now."

"G-Good... cat... Hey, where's Oz!"

"Yeah, where is my manservant!"

Reim looks under the bed, in the cabinet, and in the closet. Sharon eventually bothers to ask,"Reim, what are you doing?"

"I haven't seen Break yet, and this is usually the point he pops in and teases Gilbert."

"Break and Oz are both missing!" Sharon gasps.

"What! That creepy clown made off with my manservant!"

"Oz... Oz is alone with Break... Bocchan no! We have to rescue him!"

"Meow."

"Please tell me that was you Reim," Gil says, stiffening.

"No."

"GYAAAAH! NEKOOOOOO!" he waves his arms around wildly as the cat lands on his head. Reim manages to remove it before Gil passes out. He doesn't get a very good look at it though before it goes into the closet and the door closes behind it. Reim looks inside, but the cat is gone.

"It disappeared."

"Hmm, maybe that's Break's cat," Sharon teases.

"Break has a cat!"

"I was just joking Gil."

"Mm, I want meat," Alive says. She leaves and there's a long pause. Then she screams,"Creepy clown cat!"

"Alice?"

"That cat is creepy! It had a look in its eye like that creepy clown and it was eating a lollipop!"

. . .

Break purrs to himself, tail happily curled. Getting around was harder as a cat, but it was more than worth it to watch Raven panic. Without thumbs, getting his lollipop out of his secret candy stash and getting the wrapper off was even harder. Watching Alice was enough to erase any bad mood from the realization candy was now very hard to get to.

Though, regrettably, Oz was in trouble so he has to put down the lollipop and stop playing around,"Hey, Sharon, Sharon. Listen, Oz got kidnapped so we have to go and save him now. Follow me will you?"

"C-Cat."

"It sure is meowing a lot," Sharon says.

So they can't understand me, this could be a problem. Break thinks to himself.

"It looks kind of like Break," Reim points out.

Okay, Reim is catching on some. Try to act like me. He goes and puts the lollipop back into his mouth and goes to torment Raven more.

"C-C-CAT! KEEP IT AWAY FROM ME! REIM SAVE ME!" Gilbert screams as he cowers behind Reim.

"It's okay Gil, it's mischievous, but I think it likes you!" Sharon says.

"I don't like that cat, it looks like the creepy clown."

A phone rings in the other room. Reim goes to answer it naturally, so Break follows.

"Hello... yes, this is Reim... wait, what... no, he hasn't came back... we can't do that, Oz is missing as well, I'm very sorry... I'll keep my eyes peeled... yes I suppose we could do that... I'll ask Lady Sharon right away... yes, it is worrying, isn't it... I'm sure he'll be fine, Alice would know if something was wrong with him. After all, she is his chain... well yes, but... no I didn't mean... wait... are you saying... yes, I understand, goodbye."

"Hey Reim, what was that about. Was it me and Oz. Can I have another lollipop?" Break asks, half actually asking, and half just trying to get attention.

Reim finally gets back to the room, the cat on his heels and says "What is it kitty, or should I say, Break?"

"What! There's no way that c-c-cat is Break!"

"Break, is that really you?" Sharon asks.

Score! He simply nods at her.

"Hahaha! The creepy clown got turned into a cat!"

"How did this happen?" Sharon asks. She picks him up and pets his head. At first he fluffs up indignantly, but eventually finds himself purring and leaning into the heavenly touch.

"I'll try to answer for him. We got a call from Pandora. Apparently, Break was sent on a mission to try to figure out and stop the disappearances of Blackwood forest. I take it that it didn't end well for him. They have reason to suspect the Abyss is involved somehow."

"But what about Oz!"

"Xerxes, did you take him with you?" Sharon says, suddenly looking scary with a fan in one hand.

Break slowly nods then promptly runs for his life. Unfortunately, he's caught by Reim.

"Reim! Shake him for me!" Gil says bravely from another room.

"Oy! Creepy clown! Where do you get off kidnapping MY manservant!"

"I can't believe you took my Bocchan Break! We have to go rescue him! This is all your fault you know! What if he's hurt, or worse, dead! What if he was taken back to the Abyss! He'll never get out alone! He may have already died there! Break you had better have a way to fix this!"

You can say that from another room while I'm being held captive, but if I were free, you'd be running for your life Raven.

"Xerxes-nii, I do believe you've done it this time," Sharon says, whipping her fan of death against her hand.

Xerxes then claws at Reim's hand. He winces back just long enough for the cat to run away. He quickly disappears into the cabinet and down the hall a scream of NEKO! can be heard followed by the quiet scrape of cat claws against wood.

That was far too close.

"Break, I know you're here somewhere," Reim calls. His head suddenly appears out of nowhere and soon Break is being held yet again. This is beginning to get annoying he decides. This form is too small and easily picked up!

"Hey, put me down," he says a bit grumpily.

"No need to growl at me. Sigh... if only we could understand what you're saying."

"Ok, we can work that out later, put me down!"

"Break, I can't understand you. I'm sorry."

Xerxes hisses in frustration, then his one eye can't help focusing in one the light reflecting off Reim's glasses. It's so very distracting... He can't help wanting to touch them, so he bats them. The light gleams and flickers in very amusing ways, so he does it again.

"Xerxes, what are you doing? Stop it, those are my glasses. I need those."

Break hears, but these glasses are far too distracting to listen. He accidentally bats them off, but Reim catches them. Break tries to go back to his play, but is held away from them. He meows his displeasure, trying to get back to them, but his cat limbs are too short.

"Break! What's gotten into you! You're acting like a real cat now!"

I am a cat baka... wait, no, I'm supposed to be a human, but that idiot cat made me this way. What the heck was I just doing! I was playing with his glasses like an idiot!

"Sigh, we need to fix this," Reim says worriedly.

There's a loud slam from somewhere near the entryway and a happy scream of,"GILBERT! I know you're here brother! It's been too long since I saw you last!"

Great, now that filthy sewer rat is here too. And I think my fur is standing up. Yup, it is.

"I know you don't like Vincent, I'll try to keep you two apart."

If I weren't trapped in this form, I'd do unspeakable things to him.

"Hi Vince."

"Gil! It's been so long since I've seen you!"

That voice is too high, Break decides. It was just annoying before, but with sharper cat ears it's akin to torture. Well, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's still bad. He manages to wriggle out of Reim's hold, disappear around a corner, and arrive via floor board in the room Vincent is hugging Gil half to death. There's a noticeable look of mischief in his eye as he meows loudly.

"NEKO!"

"Don't worry, I'll protect you brother!"

"He's not the one who needs protecting you sewer rat!" Break hisses. He then walks over and bites Vincent's ankle as hard as he can.

"Ow! Why you little!" Vincent picks up the cat and a pair of scissors appear in his hand from seemingly nowhere,"I see you've only got one eye, want me to take the other?"

Break bites and claws at the blonde's hand, but nothing quite happens except a little blood loss. He immediately knows he messed up.

"Vincent no!" Sharon says, running down the hall.

"That's Break!" Reim adds.

"Neh? Hahaha! Break turned into a kitty! How did this happen?"

"W-Well, Pandora sent him on a mission, and the baka brought my Bocchan, and when he came back, he was a c-c-c-cat and Oz was missing!"

"Bad Break, making my brother upset like this!" he scolds, then he shakes Break around.

"V-V-V... stop! Ungh... I don't... hiss... feel good. Stop it..." Break growls/pleads. Vincent throws him across the room and that's his stomach can take,"I think... I'm sick..." he begins coughing. The others look at him with concern and, in Alice (who just came in) and Vincent's case, amusement as he hacks harder. Eventually a white hairball comes up. Break stares at it concern, intrigue, and disgust before walking away. Let the others take care of it, he has no thumbs now and it was in his mouth once, he's not doing it again.

"Xerxes... you've only been a cat for less than a day, how did you even make that!" Reim asks.

"Well, Raven was asleep for a while, and my fur was a mess. I figured out quickly enough that there was no possible way I could use a brush on myself, so I had to resort to more... natural... methods."

"I'd love to hear the excuse for this, but either way, I guess I'm stuck cleaning your mess up like always."

"Speaking of messes, how are we going to get my Bocchan back!"

"Come on, we can look for him tomorrow, spend time with me today brother!"

"I'm afraid we probably have to do it today before Break the cat causes more trouble, Gil breaks down, or Oz gets... something-ed. He has a tendency to get into the strangest situations, doesn't he?"

"Yeah, we need to get my manservant back!"

"I hate to... to think of this... but what if... we follow c-c-cat Break to where he... he... he lost Oz!"

"Gil, that's a good idea actually!" Reim says.

"I guess it's not bad seaweed head."

"Hey, you know what I've never noticed before, Sharon's hair looks really nice. I want to touch it," Break says, almost seeming hypnotized. He pads over and sniffs it, purring a bit. Soon, he's on his back batting at it and mewing and purring.

"Aw, does kitty Break like my hair?"

"Hmm, this may be a problem. Earlier Break couldn't seem to stop playing with my glasses. Since he got a hairball, he apparently... groomed, himself like a cat. I think his instincts and possibly mind are becoming cat like, Break, what are you doing now?"

Break had moved on from Sharon's hair to sneaking up behind Gilbert. Well, he had been, but Reim ruined it. Though this time, his cat instincts weren't as much to blame as just wanting to mess with Raven.

"S-So, can you lead us to Oz?"

"Yeah, follow me~ow!" he says, pulling a pre-opened lollipop out of a small hole in the wall and beckons them with his tail. He exits through the window and waits for the others to take the door.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"Come on already slow pokes."

"We're coming."

"Why is it always us? This stuff always seems up happen to us, never the rest of Pandora," Reim says under his breath.

They could all already tell this was going to be an interesting trip.
