Chapter 8-Countdown at Home

When Mirai and Kit entered their room in the spaceship, Mirai sent Kit to find Kisshu. While Mirai was finishing her packing, Kisshu was chasing Kit into the room. Mirai had about 45 minutes left, and she had to tell him something.

"Kisshu, you do remember that you gave Kit to me right? In fact, why were you chasing her anyway?" asks Mirai.

"Oh yeah. Forgot. She—I thought she was mocking me when she said that you were here, but she was right. Why are you here?" says Kisshu.

"Ryou told me to grab anything that I needed. Apparently, I'm staying there longer than we expected. He gave me 1 hour, but I'm now down to 35 minutes."

"What would happen if you stayed here?"

"They would come after me and take me back to that retarded café. I get stuck with Ryo, Ichigo, and Keiichiro down the hall from my room."

"Mirai, why did you call your mother by her first name? What's wrong with that?"

"One-She's not my mother. Two-Now every time I want talk with you I have to be careful they don't hear us. That's what's wrong with it."

"Ok then. What time does the café open?"

"Um…I guess around 9 o'clock. I would guess they would want me out before they open. Pop by the park in the morning and look for me."

"Fine, but if you're there, we can get your training started again. How about that then?"

"Fine by me. See you tomorrow then."

She turns to leave through the portal, but she remembers what her father said about her mother. She turns towards Kisshu again.

"What did father mean by me being just like Ichigo? I heard she turns into a cat, but will it happen to me as well?" asks Mirai.

"Well, um, you will be turning into a cat, but just a small black kitten. Ichigo turns into a full-grown cat," answered Kisshu.

"Oh great!"

"If you transform, Kitten, go to the park and wait for me to be there. Just be careful not to go back to that café. You better get going before they come after you."

"Yeah you're right. Well, bye Kisshu."

"Bye Kitten."

She walks through the portal, and ends up back at the café's basement. She turns to leave, but Ryou scares her. She hears two pops, and her cat and alien features com out.
