I just wanted to try my hand at a few stories. Let me know what you think.
Also, I do not own any of the characters or places in this story. I wish I did though.
Chapter 1
I could hear muffled sounds. The itchy material of the blanket still covered my body as my mind slowly took in what happened to me. My spine felt like it had been stretched out and my head throbbed. The pain was not as bad as before I passed out, and I was grateful for that. I lifted a hand to my forehead, and felt sweat on my skin. Great... I needed to wash my face. I pushed the blanket off my body and slowly sat up. I didn't want to get dizzy again. As soon as I felt I was good to go, I headed for the community bathroom.
It was about midnight judging from my PHS and no one was around. I bet Zack was worried. I was supposed to meet him after dinner. I'll just call him later. I was confused for a moment until I remembered that Shinra had given us leave for the next two weeks starting today. I think I'm the only cadet that stayed on base. I would be able to get some rest from all those cadets that seem to think its funny putting other people down. I stopped for a moment in the empty hall. Why did everything look so much sharper? Normally at this hour everything was so dim. I started to bring my hands to my head, but I stopped and continued to the bathroom. I walked through the door and the lights flickered on automatically.
I walked over to a random sink and ran cold water so I could splash my face. I splashed my face to get rid of the sweat. I closed my eyes as I ran a hand through my spikes, but then I froze. Did my fingers brush against something furry? I brought my hands up to where my ears were and I felt soft furry triangles instead of ears. I opened my eyes and looked at the mirror. I blinked a few times, and then I screamed and jumped away from the mirror.
I sucked in a few deep breaths to calm my heart. I crawled to the mirror to look at my reflection. I raised a hand to touch the smooth surface, so did the...thing... in the mirror. My eyes widened as I stared into the mirror. The pupils were vertical like cat eyes, but they were still blue. The thing that shocked me the most about my eyes was that they were glowing. I just wish my eyes were the only things shocking about me. I looked at where my ears were and I found two cat ears. I swallowed and felt the base of my spine. I felt fur again. I looked behind me and I saw a long tail coming out of a hole in my pants. The fur was the same color as my hair on the tail and ears.
"H-how did this happen?" I was shaking. I didn't know what to do, but there was someone who would help me. I pulled out my PHS and dialed a number that I knew by heart. After a few rings, someone picked up. "Where the hell have you been, Spike?!" Thank Shiva, it was Zack. "Zack..." Something in my voice must have prevented him from going on his lecture. "What's wrong, Spike? Are you okay?" He sounded very worried. "I think... Zack, please come down to the bathroom. I need... I don't know..." My voice was shaking like the rest of my body. "Don't worry, kid. I'm on my way right now. I'll be there in five minutes." I took another deep breath. I looked back at my reflection, and I saw that the cat ears were flat. I looked away and crawled into a corner far away from the mirrors.
I waited for my friend. What would he think? It is not everyday someone got cat ears and a tail. I pulled my knees to my chest and hid my face. My tail wrapped around my left arm. It felt weird to have a tail. I lifted my right hand to feel the fur on my tail. I shivered as my fingers glided through the fur. There was a tingling feeling, so I decided not to try that again. My ears twitched as I heard a rush of footsteps coming my way. "Cloud? Where Are You?" Damn... Zack can make great time when he wants to. Now that he was here, I wasn't so sure I wanted him to see me, but there was nothing I could do now, but hope that he will help me. The door opened and I heard him walk in a little. "Spike? What's wr-" I looked up at him, and he stopped in his tracks. "Hi... Zack."
