A day later, Sakura was doing her best to obey her foster family laws. Her foster brother, was Enrique Favorita, who was very abusive to her. Though her family would provide her provisions like video games, and food and water, they still need her to obey.

When she came home from school, she saw a cat in the trash can. "Who goes there?" Sakura shouted. The pink furred cat whimpered and hid near the trash bags. The headband wearing child believed the can was empty. She looked up and said to the air "Oh dear. If my foster family comes back and see I have gotten a pet, it will be like-"

The cat in the trash can dug herself out and said to her "Like what?"

Sakura turned in fright and the cat jumped near the garage door. The feline before her was the size of a human child. She was standing on two legs and had hand-like paws. "Don't! please, I'm sorry! I mean no harm to you!" The cat covered her eyes.

"I won't hurt you, little thing. You talked? No animal has done that." Sakura rubbed her head.

The cat put her paws behind her back and wagged her tail. "Yes, I do speak like you humans do."

The elementary student patted the cat on the back. "So, where do you come from? A pet store with a lab you broke out of?"

"Can we go inside and do it?" The cat asked.

Sakura took the cat indoors with her and brought her to her abode. "This is my foster home. It belongs to Puerto Ricans, the Favoritas. They're currently out for the time being, but I don't think you'll wanna see them."

"A foster home, when I read someone's manual on it, some foster parents are nice or bad." The feline sat down on the bed and raised a finger. "I was given the human traits, by scientists in this country."

The schoolgirl giggled. "They gave you the ability to talk and walk."

"Mmmhmm. They showed me the ability to use anything humans do, like TV, dancing, video games, and books." The pet brushed her pink ears. "The military wanted to use animals like me, as soldiers for the Japanese defense army. Even in case Russia or Korea decide to go to war on Japan. But the government had ordered the manimal soldier project terminated." She told the story.

Sakura looked at her clock, then she turned back to the talking cat child. "Do you have a name? I'm Sakura Kasugano."

The catgirl pointed to herself and said "A scientist from France gave me a name at the lab, Bagi."

"Bagi... That's pretty name for a girl like you." The student giggled.

Bagi wrapped her tail around Sakura, warming her skin. "Do you have any relatives of sorts?"

Sakura got off the bed and told her new pet "I have a brother, but we got moved to foster homes separately. And my parents were killed...by gunmen."

"Huh? Is that terrible?"

"Unfortunately yes." The kid nodded. Suddenly, Sakura heard her foster family arriving. "Listen, stay in this room. My foster family's coming, so... stay put..." She had a hand up to remind Bagi to stay in the bedroom. "I'll bring up some dinner."

Sakura ran down the stairs and saw the Favoritas entering the house. "Listen up, ma'am, we've got good news," Mrs. Favorita started then the husband finished "and bad news from the school."

"The good news is that you did a fine job on biology and English class." Mrs. Favorita smugly smiled. "The bad news, is that you arrived late and had a bad math grade, as I was told by your homeroom teacher!" Mr. Favorita showed the F-graded math paper.

"Anything to say, chica?" Enrique demanded.

Sakura wanted to make an excuse "Listen, I am a slow walker to the school, and I try to run, but I run out of breath and feel tired every time!"

Mr. Favorita slapped her arm. "Don't give me that! You know-" He became shocked when he saw Bagi peeking out from upstairs. "Do you realized what you did?" Mrs. Favorita yelled.

"You have a pet in this house!" Enrique was also mad.

The little student had her hands up. "Listen to what I have to say, I found the cat outside in your trash can! So I took it in, as my pet! Please, let me keep her in my room, and feed her if my may."

Mrs. Favorita slapped her foster daughter, but warned "You may bring up food to feed that cat, but if it comes out of that room into any other house part for any reason other than bathing, we will physically abuse you. And remember the physical laws we placed on you, there will be 3 strikes. If the 3rd strike is broken, you'll find out. Comprende?"

"Understood." Sakura dropped a tear and sniffed.

The Favoritas and Kusagano girl went to the dining. "Now then, what shall we have for dinner?" Mr. Favorita readied the table cloth.

Hours later, Sakura was done with her dinner. She saw Bagi watching anime, then a wrestling match in her room, with the TV set up. "That's a nice TV they gave you." Bagi admired.

Sakura smiled and joined her pet on the bed. "Want me to show you the games I have?"

The cat raised her right leg. "Go on ahead, start one up."

She watched, as her student friend started her Super Famicom and put in her copy of Gundam Wing: Endless Duel (owned by Bandai). When the two got to their gameplay, the cat showed her intelligence, she quickly learned how to play. Sakura won some rounds, and Bagi got some victories too. "You sure are a quick learner, Bagi." Sakura smiled.

"Just becoming an expert at things I try early." Bagi grinned.

After enough playtime, the two slept together.
