A Sunrise Production
When Hitomi awoke, she looked down at herself, expecting to be caked in dry blood, but found herself like she was in the dream last night. But no blood was there, just the leopard-girl type body she had in the dream last night.
She went to the washroom and washed her face, and then looked in the mirror. She almost screamed from what she saw. It had given her quite a fright. She looked like Eriya, only that she had the nice wood-brown hair that she always had; only now it was in the Leopard Sister style. She had no idea if she was really Hitomi. Only one way to make sure.
Hitomi got dressed and headed down to the dining room where King Van was breakfasting.
"Van…I need you."
"What's wrong, Hitomi?"
"Do I look different to you?"
"Did you do your hair different?"
"Yes. I mean, no. I mean, do I look different than normal?"
"You look fine. You're the same person I fell in love with about five years ago."
"I must be crazy then," she said as she looked at the claws on her hands.
"What do you mean?"
"I had a dream last night. And I think it permanently scarred me."
"How so?"
"When I look at myself, I look like a cross between myself and Eriya."
"What do you mean?"
"I think I'm a cat-woman."
"Impossible. From what I see, you are Hitomi Kanzaki."
"No, it's not true. I have a tail and claws and fangs and huge ears and cat-like eyes…" she babbled. She began crying.
"I'll get Alena. Only she can know for sure."
