It was pretty late when I woke up and for a second, I forgot where I was. That is until a looked up at the now giant bed and saw my little sister snoring quietly in her sleep. I guess she was my big sister now. Oh boy, that's more awkward than it should be. I closed my eyes as I settled down again, only sleep did not come. Ever since I was reborn as a cat, I had developed problems sleeping. Back at the tea shop, I often spent the nights, prowling around the shop trying to keep entertained.
I usually had a few toys to play with, but it seemed no one had left any of my toys in Nya's room.
With a frustrated sigh, I rolled off the comfy cushion I called I bed and padded across the room. I noticed a pair of tiny dishes in the other corner of the room. They were full of cat food and some of that special kitten milk you could buy from the store. The others must have put them there for me for when I woke up. But I wasn't hungry or thirsty or needed to use that damn litter box, not yet anyway. I was saving that for the first bastard to piss me off.
Peeking out the door, I found the hallway black.
Ever since I was reborn, I was able to see well enough in the dark so the lack of lights was not a problem anymore. My hearing had also improved greatly since my rebirth as a little kitten. I could clearly hear the others snoring in their own rooms. I swore I could hear Jay muttering dozens of different cat names such as 'Mittens', 'Whiskers', and 'Cutie-Fluffy-Baby-Pie'. I swear to the First Spinjizu Master that if he DARED started calling me any of those names I'll shred his precious comic book collection with my claws.
If he didn't get the message after that, then I'll find something else more important to shred.
Snooping down the hallway, I quickly found a closed-door with light streaming from under the doorframe. Curiously, I placed an ear up against the door to see if I could hear anything inside. Faintly I could make out the light tapping of a keyboard. I remembered back when I was a human and how one of us would spend almost all night sorting through the mountains of paperwork the city dumped on us. Glad I won't have to deal with that shit anymore.
Knowing Lloyd was inside, a smirk appeared on my furry face.
Wanting to get back for his attitude earlier that night, I raised my claws to the door and began scratching at the thick wood. Deep cuts were made into the door as the shavings started piling up on the floor around me. From the other side of the door, the typing halted and footsteps were heard storming forward. The door flung open and I was met with the angry face of a ticked-off green ninja.
"What the hell are you doing?" Lloyd growled when he saw the tiny fluff ball looking up at him.
"Nothing," I meowed with a look of fake innocence on my cute little face as I flexed my tiny claws.
"Shouldn't you be asleep, cat?"
"Jeez, I was just sharpening my claws, it's something all cats do!" I meowed loudly, but of course, Lloyd couldn't understand me. When he noticed the wood shavings around me his eyes widen as his head spun around to look at the door, seeing the small, yet deep and oblivious scratching in the bottom of the door. Lloyd growled as he turned his eyes back to me and glared. I just started purring in satisfaction as my tail swished back and forth behind me.
Slamming the scratched door shut again, Lloyd retreated back into the office to finish up his work.
Leaving the office, I continued my prowl through the giant monastery. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything to do in the dark, quiet home so I just wanded back to Nya's room. But my cushion didn't look as warm and comfy as before. I found myself drawn to Nya's bed, but I couldn't climb up, it was too high up. I tried to jump and claw up the bedsheets to reach her, but my little legs wouldn't pull me up. My claws lost their grip on the sheets and I fell to the ground with a light thump.
Even though the sound wasn't loud by any means, Nya awoke with a start.
That scared me for a second, but I quickly remembered that Nya was always a light sleeper. It took her a minute to fully awake, but when she did her sleepy eyes zeroed in on me.
"Nya! Help me! I only have little legs!" I meowed as I started pacing up and down the length of her bed.
"Awe, are you lonely little one?" She cooed softly in between yawns as she bent down and scooped me up in one hand. I started purring as she gently placed me on her pillow and laid her head next to me. I quickly curled up against her neck and she giggled lightly as my fluffy fur tickled her. I started purring lightly as her breathing evened out and she returned to the land of sleep. I soon joined her...
