I woke up; well I couldn't give you a date or a time actually. All I knew was that I had the worst head ache ever and a terrible aching feeling throughout my entire body. I lifted up one paw to rub my head when I realized I was a cat. That's when everything that happened rushed back to me, adding to my headache. I changed back into a person and tucked my tail into my pants, even though there was a hole in them so that I could keep it out. My hair was long enough to cover it though. My hair went well past my waist, even when I put it up into a ponytail.

I tucked my white ears into my hair, were they blended in perfectly. Yup, my hair is white. Strange color right? I always thought it was until I met master. His hair was the reddest color of red that I had ever seen, and I could see more color's than most people. Master! I wonder if he could be in this place as well. I'll keep an eye out for any red heads then. I walked out from the dark alley I had awoke in and found a very sleepy city. It was as quieter than I was used too and it was all I could do to not perk my ears up to hear any noise I might miss. I walked past a street lamp and say a shadow behind me. I turned around, my hair whipping around me. More heartless than I had ever seen before were gathered behind me, slowly creeping up on me. I unsheathed my claws and swung them at the nearest heartless. I hissed in frustration as it dodged.

"Stupid heartless! I'll make you pay for what you did to master!" I was about to change into a heartless when a bullet whizzed past me and made one of the heartless disappear. I turned to see who had attacked and the heartless took their chance. They all lunged at me at once. I mewled pitifully as they all attack at me, cutting my in many places. A pair of strong arms pulled me out of the mess and threw me aside, all the while slashing and shooting at the heartless.

"Don't just sit there! Summon you weapon!" the man yelled at me, turning for only a second too look at me.

"Summon a weapon? How do I do that?" I stood up pondering the question. Another heartless jumped at me but a staff appeared in my hands, and I held it up to block the attack. Acting on instinct, I held it up into the air. A circle of heartless had started to surround me. I drew a circle around my head and pointed the staff at the nearest heartless.

"Thundara!" I yelled at the top of my lungs just as the nearest heartless jumped at me. A ring of yellow lightning surrounded me and struck ever heartless in a wide circle. How the hell did I do that?

Another heartless jumped at me from behind and I struck at it with the end of my staff, which turned out to be incredibly sharp. I looked around to see the man that had helped me completely overrun with heartless. I didn't even hesitate. I ran towards the group of heartless and stopped only a few feet away.

A large group of them took interest in me and slowly started advancing towards me. I pointed my staff at the group and yelled "GRAVITY!" to my surprise it completely flattened the heartless out. A whole mess of them. The man started shooting at the ones I had flattened and I quickly got the hint.

"Firaga." I said quietly and a large ball of fire formed in the middle of the top of my staff. It shot out without warning and exploded into millions of sparks that caught fire to ever single heartless in sight, quickly defeating them all. I stared at my staff, taking a better look at it. It was silver, and there was a blade at the end of it. Near the top was a ring of gold that floated and slowly spun around it. The top was a crescent moon with a red star in the middle that glowed less and less by the second.

"So you're a mage, that's good. Not too many of them around." I turned around to see the man leaning against a street lamp for support, badly bruised and battered. I ran over to him and raised my staff high over my head. The star began to glow brightly.

"Cura." I said and two green balls of light popped out from the star and enveloped us both. I immediately felt better, and so did he because he moved away from the lamp post and stood up on his own. I lowered my staff, completely having forgotten my ears were out.

"I think you better come with me." He grabbed hold of my wrist and my staff disappeared. I remembered my ears where out for some reason, right then. I tried to tuck them into my hair.

"No use." He said. "I've already seen the ears." I sighed and stuck them up again. I let my tail swing free as well. He led me into a house where he told me to sit on a couch that was near a fire place, with, ironically, a fire in it. He came back a little while later with a young lady. She was quite tall, almost as tall as the man, with brown hair that went down to the middle of her back. Her hair was braided with a large pink bow, and her dress was also pink. I stood up and bowed to her, assuming she was the master of this house.

"How strange. Why do you bow to me?" she said in a very soft angelic voice. I lifted my head up a bit and looked into her eyes, and lifted myself up the rest of the way up.

"I was bowing miss. I was assuming that you were the master of this estate."

"Master? Estate? I don't have a clue what you're talking about." She laughed and it sounded much like bells. "Maybe you should tell us first why you're here, where you came from, and how you got the ears and tail. By the way my name is Aerith. And this is Leon." She sat down on the couch opposite of the one I had been sitting at, and Leon sat next to her. I began retelling my tale starting from when master found me as a young kitten, too the resent battle with Leon. All the while, they listened intently, Leon adding bits of info here and there when I got to the recent battle. When it was all done they just looked at each other intently, and Aerith left the room.
