Fun with Pillows

Today had been a nice day, Conan thought. Ran had had to go out, but that was okay. She'd patted him on the head, and told him she'd bring him back a nice treat. He was still trying to get used to the new name though, but he thought it was an okay name. A lot easier than his old one, anyway.
After Ran had left he'd been left to his own devices, so he'd dug out some of his toys and played with them for awhile. The shiny ball was his favorite: It was squishy and the strands of gleaming stuff tickled when he picked it up. And, of course, when the light shown on it it was really eye catching! It was definitely the best toy ever.
But, that was then, and now here he was curled up in Ran's desk chair, in the sunshine. It was a great time to nap in the sunshine!
Conan didn't know how long he'd been napping when something woke him up. It was just the barest of sounds, really, and he lifted his head to peer around groggily. It wasn't long before his gaze landed on a figure above him. In fact it was leaning against the window frame and seemed to be watching him.
It took Conan only a second to realize who had come to pay him a visit. That sleek white form, those knowing blue-violet eyes, that smug air... Ai had complained about him when he and Ran had last visited with her and Agasa.
"Kaitou Kat!" Conan hissed, standing and arching his back in indignation. The renowned cat burglar was here! He was a strange cat who went around the block stealing shiny toys from the other cats. Of course the toys always found their way home, along with other objects the kleptomaniac had pilfered, but that was besides the point. Conan could see his favorite shiny ball sitting on the floor, glimmering in the sunlight.
"Maa, Maa, don't puff up like that little kitten, I'll be gone before you know it~" the big cat sung playfully, and rubbed his cheek against the window.
Conan hissed again, fur bristling even more. He was sure his tail looked like a bottle brush by now. "There's nothing for you here! Go away!"
Lazily the cat slithered to the edge of Ran's desk, and peered over the edge at Conan. He reached out a fine white paw and batted Conan's head. "You're adorable, really, Kitten-chan, but there's nothing you can do to stop me."
And, with that, the thief bounced off the desk and landed neatly on the floor with grace that Conan could only envy right now. "You!!!"
Conan skittered to the edge of the chair and paused, claws digging into the upholstery, rear end wiggling, before he thrust himself off into the air. He would pounce that stupid big cat and show him what for! Unfortunately, the cat neatly skipped out of the way and Conan landed in a tumble on the floor. When he looked up, the cat was licking one paw smugly, the other was braced on Conan's shiny ball.
"That's mine! Give it back, Kat!"
The thief paused his grooming, and slanted Conan a sly-eyed look. "You'll have to come and get it from me if you want it~"
Hissing and spitting in out rage, Conan darted at the cat who scooped his prize up, and dashed nimbly away. Ahead of Conan the white cat bounced over a pillow that had been left propped against a bookshelf, and easily began to scale the shelves. Conan was determined to follow, and jumped up at the pillow. He reached out and grabbed the top of it, but even his small weight was too much for the soft pillow and it toppled. With a thump Conan landed on his back, the pillow pressing down on him. He flailed out with his forepaws, then gave up knowing he'd never move it.
"Do you need some help down there?" that smug voice asked.
With his ears laid back, Conan glared up at the white head that peeked over the top of the bookshelf. The cat still held his ball in his mouth. "I hope you get chased by a big huge slobbery dog!"
The cat's eyes closed in amusement, and Conan caught the hint of a purr. "So cruel! Ah, but I must go now, Kitten-chan. We should play again another day!"
Kaitou Kat propelled himself from the top of the bookshelf and seemed to soar across the room to land on Ran's desk. Conan twisted his head around, clawing at the pillow holding him down. "I'll get you next time, Kat!"
The cat flipped his elegant white tail at him, then disappeared out the window. Conan glared. He would get him next time!
