And I am truly sorry. Really I am. Please, enjoy the chapter. And review! P.S. I changed the chapter title!



Chapter 6:
A Cat in our Midst

Sanguine walked into the town, light on her feet and on the prowl. She had something to find, and she was all for playing with her prey.

She turned a corner quickly, and being well known in this town for being merciless the children and people dodged and jumped out of the way.

A dark hair girl watched from a safe distance. She was seated quietly on a thatch roof of a small home. She smiled wickedly to herself. She knew who Sanguine was, and she knew that Lady Bulma had wanted her. She has no problems with this. But it won't be as easy to catch her as they might have first thought. She knew a few tricks that Lady Bulma had not known about.

A green hued light enveloped the dark hair girl. Then her form shifted, slowly. First change was her eyes, from large round innocent chocolate brown, to green devious ones with cat-like slits. Then her skin, growing soft short brown fur, she had also sprouted a tail. Her face formed ears, pointing to the sky above.

The feline then leaped off of the roof and onto a cart heading to the king's palace. Although she knew that was not where she was heading. She laid for a rest and curled safely into a ball, purring happily until the cart hit a bump. Sending the unprepared feline into the arms of Blaze, one of her hunters.

Blaze looked down at the cat in her arms, noticing the brown fur, and green eyes. But she had a weird feeling that was she saw may have been a cat, but yet, not a cat inside. "Sanguine! Come check out this little visitor that decided to drop by!"

Sanguine walked over to her partner and looked at the cat. "A cat?" She sniffed the air. "It doesn't smell like a cat." She frowned to herself. "Great, when Lady Bulma asks what we've found, we'll just tell her an odd smelling feline. Do you think that'll be okay with her?"

The cat opened its eyes at the sound of Sanguine's voice. She hadn't known that Blaze was one of her hunters as well. She struggled out of Blaze's grip and fell to the floor. She looked up and hissed before running off.

"What the fuck? What was up with that?" Blaze asked, looking at the newly appeared wound on her arm. Caused by the cat that had left just moments ago.

"I knew that something was not right about that cat. Probably had rabies."

"I AM GOING TO GET RABIES! SHIT!"

"No, you won't get rabies. Let's go. We still have a lot of looking to do. We shouldn't go back without her unless you want to get the shit beaten out of you. She wouldn't be happy." With that, the two walked off.

The cat was perched silently on a ledge, paying close detail to their movements and where they were going. Now away of both or her predators. The green glow immersed her once more and she were back to her original form.

"Chi-Chi? Is that you?" A male voice asked. It was one of her old friends from many years ago.

"Kakarott?"

"Hey Chi…heh, long time no see." He smiled innocently.

"Yea, so…umm…this is unexpected." Chi-Chi blushed a little.

"Yea, I thought I saw you shape shift or something…but then I thought that I was crazy. You couldn't shape shift! At last not the last time that I had seen you, but that was also five years ago. We were little kids then."

She was still sitting on the roof looking down at her friend, when she realized that her hunters had turned the corner and were now in perfect sight of her. She jumped down and looked into his eyes.

"I need your help. Please."

"You don't even need to ask me Chi."

"Good, now let's go. Come on. We need someplace safe, to hide, where no one will find us."

"I know a place, this way." Kakarott ran ahead of her and led the way. They turned a corner quickly and ran through the large crowds of people.

Chi-Chi was aware that she had been spotted, and she decided to confuse them a bit to give them time to escape.

Sanguine walked over to the left and saw Chi-Chi dash to the left.

"Come out, Come out, Where ever you are..." She teased. "Blaze! She's over there."

Sanguine dashed off after her. She could smell her. Not long now. She thought to herself. I can smell her.

'You can't find me...'

'Over here...'

'No here'

Chi-Chi laughed to herself. She then peaked around a corner to look at the two women who were chasing her. They were turning in circles, trying to find out where the voice was coming from. Kakarott grabbed her arm and dragged her away.

"Why were we running?"

"Some one is trying to capture me. It's a long story."

"Come on, let's get to the maze, then we can talk."

"Maze? What maze?"

"It's on the borders of the palace grounds. That is where I like to go sometimes, to relax a little. I know I shouldn't be there, but…it's just a way to get away from it all."

Kakarott picked her up and flew into the air toward the maze gardens. When they landed he set her gently on the ground near a rock she could use as a chair. "Sit. I want you to tell me everything."

For the next few hours, she talked, about her parents, about her powers that she had acquired, and about how she was being hunted. He sat there listening to it all, getting it off of her chest, and comforting her as best he could. This is when she wished they were more then just friends.
