Shattering glass jolted Sango from sleep. She ran her hand through bedraggled hair and rubbed her burning eyes. Squinting at the clock, she barely made out the time; 4 am. It was the third time she'd woken up for the night, although the first time was not her fault. Her body suddenly froze at the memory, eyes wide and brain now fully alert. She turned on her bedside lamp and peeked over the edge of her bed; no vomit. Sighing in relief, she swung her legs over the bed and cautiously made her way out of her room. The noise sounded like it came from the kitchen but she hadn't been sure about a lot of things for the past couple days so she crept almost soundlessly from her room. Reaching for the hall light, she flipped the switch and did a quick sweep of the walkway. Noting the open bathroom door, she inched her way towards it while checking her surroundings to make sure she wasn't snuck up on. Reaching a wary hand into the bathroom, she flipped the switch and found the culprit still at the scene of the crime

Mew

"Kilala not again," she groaned out, "what is it with you and mirrors?"

Kilala stood on her hind legs atop the sink looking into the bathroom mirror while Sango's water glass lay in splinters on the floor

"Ugh stay right there okay? I need to clean this up."

The cat began to purr at its owner who rolled her eyes and walked out the room grumbling about adopting cats in response

"Out of all the cats in the shelter, I managed to choose the naughtiest- KILALA!"

Mrow

True to her species, Kilala did not stay put, and was now rubbing up against Sango's legs with her tail high in the air

"Kilala!" She swooped up her kitty who gave her a protesting meow in response, "you could have gotten hurt! Let me see your paws"

The idea was far from welcome with her feline companion and she started to fuss

"Let me check your toe beans!"

Meeeooowwwwww

"Don't give me that attitude I'm trying to help you!"

Hissssss

"Fine!"

She put down Kilala and her tail immediately rose in the air. She cantered into her owner's bedroom as Sango called after her

"When your paw starts hurting don't come crying to me!"

She sighed and continued on to the kitchen for the broom and dustpan

horrk hoooorrrkkkk hooorrkkk

She spun around and ran

"NOT ON MY BED"
