chapter 3- ねこ (='ｘ'=)
The morning started fresh and bright, the bird chirping happily on the trees.
A certain brunette slowly opened her eyes when the rays of the sun hit her face.
Sakuno groggily sat up from bed her long hair sprawled around her as she rub her sleepiness away.
Then she swept her eyes and noted that she was on her room. Her half -lidded eyes suddenly went wide as she racked her brain with possible answers on how she got there.
"Are, I was supposed to be in school right" she questioned herself. She tried remembering but her memory seems haze.
Sakuno put a finger on her forehead thinking deeply. Etou... I was at the school then I saw Inui-senpai he was giving me something and then... and then what?
Sakuno tried to recount her memories but it was futile, she can't remember what happened after that.
Finally giving up, Sakuno stretched her hands and took notice that she was still wearing her uniform but her hair is out of its usual braids.
That was weird
But even before she can mull over it she felt the fatigue her body was on. Something weird must've happened yesterday.
Sighing she looked at the table beside her bed and saw the digital clock, 7:30, it flashed in red.
Her eyes widen and she quickly left her bed. Ahh why did she woke up so late.
She took out a fresh new set of her uniform and headed straight to her bathroom.
She washed her face first to lift off some of the lingering sleep on her. After drying off her face she was preparing to brush her teeth when she noticed something odd on her reflection.
Lifting her head to examine it more, her eyes widened and she let out a loud "kyaa" before backing off from the sink and closing her eyes.
What was that?
Opening her eyes to peak she stared at her reflection as if she'd grown two heads... err two ears actually, there are a pair of brown cat ears poking from her head!
She touched it to make sure if it was actually there. Her face fell when she felt the soft fluffy ear confirming that it is there on her head.
She was in the middle of touching her new set of ears when her bathroom door swung open with a thud.
Sakuno looked at the door thinking it was her grandmother but to her utter surprise, her eyes landed on a green haired, feline eyed boy.
"Ryoma-kun?" she asked dumbfounded. Weird things keep on happening to her one after another.
Ryoma panted as he stared at Sakuno who is also staring widely at him. He was awakened by a loud scream and knowing that it came from her room he quickly barged in to see if everything is okay.
Clearly it isn't.
"Ryoma-kun, What are you doing here?" Sakuno asked, her head spinning from all the events.
Ryoma who was actually frozen by what he saw, recovered from it and answered the girl in his usual tone.
"Your grandmother asked me" was his short reply. Sakuno just nodded her head, it seems her grandmother is worried for her. But what exactly happened? she asked herself.
Ryoma watched Sakuno with a little amount of fascination because of the fluffy brown ears that are twitching on her head. He doesn't know if he should comment on it or just wait for her to finish her thoughts.
Since Ryoma's patience finally dnapped and maybe he's a little curious as well, he asked Sakuno about her new ears.
"Why do you have cat ears?" he asked in a bored tone feigning his curiousity. Remembering her earlier predicament Sakuno panicked once again.
"Ahh, I d−don't how, it was there when I woke up" she answered.
"Hnn" was Ryoma's response. "So what about the tail?" He asked. Sakuno cocked her head to the side confused.
"What tail? " she asked then Ryoma pointed at a long brown fluffy tail that was swishing the whole time they were conversing.
Sakuno seeing a tail attached on her almost fainted in shock. Tears brimmed at her eyes as she clutched the said tail to her.
"But how?" she questioned her self.
Ryoma actually has a hunch on how it happened.
"It's probably because of the Inui juice you drank yesterday" Ryoma told her. "Inui juice... Ahh that thing!" Sakuno exclaimed as she remembered everything that happened.
"Ah, Maybe Inui-senpai knows how to get this off of me" Sakuno thought. Ryoma just looked at her.
"Your going to school like that?" he asked pointing at her ears and tail. "Ehh, Ano, hay you're right I can't" Sakuno sighed dejectedly.
Upon seeing her hopeless, Ryoma seems to feel something tugging at his heart. He suddenly felt like hugging and comforting her. Wait, What the hell was I thinking?
Irritated at himself and at her, he glared at her until he noticed Sakuno's cat ears folded and blended on her hair. His eyes widening he thought of a good plan.
"Oi Ryuuzaki" he called out and upon hearing her name Sakuno whipped her head to him.
"Ano, w-what is it Ryoma-kun?" she asked timidly as she let go of her tail and begab fumbling on her skirt. She almost forgot about him, but even with what's happening she's still shy around him.
"I thought of a plan to let you enter school today without others seeing your cat ears and tail" he stated. Sakuno perked up when she heard this along with her cat ears and her tail began to swish left and right.
Not being able to contain her excitement she neared Ryoma and expectantly looked at him. Ryoma blushed as he looked at Sakuno, she looked very cute at his vision right now, with her eyes shining brightly, her cat ears twitching excitedly along with her tail and her long hair flowing at her back.
She's really cute. And right then his logical mind finally caught on to his thoughts. Quickly he slapped himself internally and hidden his blush and focused on Sakuno. She's still staring at him. Good.
Thankful that she didn't notice, Ryoma stated his idea. "I just noticed that your ears blended well with your hair, it's unnoticeable that way and as for your tail, try to curl it up and hide it in your skirt" he suggested.
Sakuno nodded her head and obeyed him. She plopped her ears down and curled her tail under her uniform. Looking at the mirror, Sakuno cheered that it was indeed hidden.
"Arigatou Ryoma-kun" she said smiling at him. "Ahh, we should hurry and prepare we're almost late" Sakuno said when she remembered the time.
"Hnn" was his bored reply as he too prepared for school. Just when he is at the door, he turned around and faced Sakuno.
"Don't get too excited, your ears will show" is what he said before leaving her bathroom. Sakuno blushed somehow that sounded like he's looking out for her.
Sakuno sighed, it's bad to assume something which is not true. Suddenly feeling sad, she proceed to take a bath and prepare to school.
After a few minutes Sakuno made a japanese breakfast which Ryoma enjoyed. Afterwards she made a bento for the two of them and they walked together towards their school.
After a long silent walk they finally reached Seishun Gakuen or more commonly known as Seigaku. They both looked at it like it was a big battle field.
"We're here, remember make sure you control those ears and tails. Then go to our practice and we'll ask Inui-senpai about your problem" Ryoma instruct her.
"Hai" She answered determined. Ryoma stiffled a chuckle but a small smile made its way to his lips.
"Good luck" he told her before patting her head and leaving her their staring at him, dumbfounded.
Sakuno touched her hair, her face burning, coloring her cheeks with a scarlet hue. A shy smile directed at him.
Sorry for the mistakes, I typed it in my phone.
And that's done. This was supposed to be long and I was only typing this while classes is ongoing. Sneaky eh, haha but then we had recitation in Law and I'm quite nervous I forgot what I should type here.
Oh well just wait for the next chapter. Hope that it wouldn't take as long as this one.
Good night I still have classes tomorrow. (T ^ T)
