In an AU, Trieze and Zechs are a couple living in the Twin Cities, and Zechs comes into the possession of a kitty, which he brings home for them to take care of.

Thank you to everyone who left all the nice reviews! O_O;; I mean.... Shite... 62 reviews for a single chapter... O_O;;; I honestly never thought anyone would ever like this! *bow bow bow* THANK YOU!!!

"Well, well, well...quite a bit of incense there...Who's it for?"

"Myself."

"Really? Not going to use it on any type of special occasion? A DATE, perhaps?"

"Heh, hardly. There's no one in my life, and I doubt there ever will be."

"Now why would you go and say a thing like that?"

"I just know that I don't need anyone, and certainly no one needs me..."

"You may be surprised..."

"I don't think so."

"Hmm...well, you have a nice day. And in the future keep those eyes open. I'm sure SOMEONE, maybe even more than one, person will come your way with love."

"Right..."

Wufei woke up, his heart racing and breathing deeply, the feeling of sweat on his body. A dream...that was a dream...it was more of a replay of when he'd been about to leave that strange fortune-caster's place... That fortune-caster...he was most defiantly the one who had done this to him... Wufei suddenly wondered how long he'd been asleep and turned his head to look at the clock. Eight twenty-seven, so the sun was going to be going down soon. Out of his life, that was one of the small pleasures the young Chinese boy had enjoyed the most; sunsets. They were calm and relaxing, where time slowed down enough so that you could see the motion of the sun and all it's radiance. Today the sunset was beautiful, the vibrant red and orange on the horizon, while the sky directly above was becoming purplish blue with small twinkling stars barely visible through the city's lights. Wufei sat up and looked out the window as the sun slowly made it's way down, until there was only a sliver left. Wufei wished he was at the ocean, because when the last of the sun goes down there, if you're at the right angle there would be a flash of emerald light. But now as the last of the sun disappeared until the next morning and the sky became increasingly darker, Wufei felt an odd sensation come over him.

It was like his entire body was getting that annoying tingly feeling when your foot or leg falls asleep, and the young kitten realized that he was changing! He looked down at his paw and saw that it was becoming longer, more slender, and he hair was disappearing and becoming his own golden-colored skin. His short legs were becoming longer as well, paws into feet, the tail shrinking until there was nothing left of it. His ears moved down the side of his head and became small and rounded, and his face was getting larger and more angled, hair disappearing. He was no long on all fours, but in a standing position like a human, though he was a little dizzy. Finally he opened his eyes again as the feeling washed away and was greeted by a mostly blurry sight. Looking down, Wufei nearly yelped in surprise, blushing as he realized he was no longer wearing his clothes, and now that he was no longer a cat his vision was again bad and he needed his glasses or contacts.

Thankful for the darkness outside, since he did not fancy anyone looking in or up and seeing him, Wufei walked in the direction of the bedroom, his arms in front of him so that he didn't bump into anything. Though he felt a little disgusted at the thought of having to use another man's clothes, he was NOT going to just stand around in the apartment naked. Finally making into the bedroom, Wufei fumbled for a light switch and flicked it up, a warm glow spreading over the room. Wufei could make out the dresser and opened the top drawer, boxers, sleeping shorts, and nightshirts in it. Taking a pair of black boxers, Wufei put them on, blushing slightly, and looked through the other drawers. Shorts and socks in one, swim-gear, belts, and old T-shirts in the bottom. Not wanting to waste anymore time borrowing clothes than he had to, Wufei took the smallest pair of jean-shorts he could find and a thin black belt, since they were still far too big. Wufei hadn't really been able to tell just HOW tall the two apartment owners had been, but judging by these clothes they were older and taller. Or maybe he was just small... Sighing, Wufei went though the T-shirts and pulled out a dark blue tank top, putting in and closing the drawer when he was finished. If not utterly confused, he was at least dressed, but he let his shoulder length hair hang loose.

"Okay...I'm human again..." Wufei said, overjoyed he could actually TALK rather than meow. "But does that mean what happened to me is over?" Wufei walked out, shutting off the light and pacing the living room again. "Oh get a grip, Wufei, it never works like that...It's like those fairy tales, as soon as the sun goes down I go back to normal and when it comes up I'll probably change back into a cat. Joy..." he murmured sarcastically, pacing and attempting not to run into anything since he couldn't see well. "I suppose I shouldn't stay here...I'll have a hard time trying to explain...but I have no clue where that shop IS...I DID kinda find it on accident..." Wufei stopped the window and leaned on it, looking outside. "What am I going to do?"

Wufei looked out into the starry sky and listened to the sounds of the cars and people below. He could here sirens going off in the distance, he could hear music playing from somewhere, and lights where everywhere. He absentmindedly read a few of the billboards that were visible, but he really didn't take any of it in. He was far more interested in his precarious predicament and finally came to the conclusion that he certainly couldn't STAY in this apartment. The men had left hours ago with the promise of returning that night, so the longer he dallied there the more risk there was of being caught in the apartment, more than likely being mistaken for a burglar... Soon Wufei was hearing nothing but his own worried thoughts, the thoughts that were carefully planning a way of sneaking out the building, finding the store, and possibly breaking in. It was a crime, sure, but he considered it nothing but a minor offense in comparison to turning a human boy into a fairy-tale-esc-cat.

The Chinese boy didn't hear the door open, and he didn't hear the careful footsteps. He didn't hear the drawer of the desk open or the gun being pulled out of it. But he DID feel the cold, steel barrel of the gun being pressed firmly into the back of his exposed neck.

"Don't. Move," an icy voice commanded harshly in the boy's ear.

Wufei stiffened, eyes widening in fear. A cold feeling twisted in his stomach, making him shutter.

"Zechs," Treize growled. "Call the police."

Now Wufei was petrified. If they called the police he'd have to explain why he had been in the couple's apartment so late at night. That would require explaining about the cat-thing, which would get his sent to a mental institution. Until sunset, that is, where he'd turn into a cat and shock everyone and they'd send him to some kind of lab where they'd poke and prod and experiment... Oh god...

"WAIT!" Wufei cried out, stiffening again as the gun was pushed harder into his neck. "Please..." he whispered, a pleading note to it. "Wait... Please, let me explain..."

"Why?" growled Treize, glaring at the back of the black-haired kid's head. "Why should I let a thief explain himself when he was caught in the act?"

"Bu-but..." Wufei stammered, realizing he WAS in their clothes... "But... just hear me out! I'm smaller and I'm not even armed! What harm could listening to me do?"

Treize glared at the boy. "Give me a reason to listen, brat. ONE reason, and if it's good enough, we'll hear you out."

Wufei bit his lip, closing his eyes in an almost defeated manner, a prisoner awaiting his execution. A reason to listen... A reason... "Because..." he whispered softly, almost pathetically. "...Because I'm Wufei..."

Zechs stared open-mouthed at the boy, his lover holding a gun to the long black hair. Wufei?! But... No one knew about their cat yet, except for Relena and Dorothy... Treize seemed to be in equal shock, blue eyes wide and body perfectly still.

"...Treize...?" Zechs asked softly, hand on the phone, ready to call at his boyfriend's command.

"...Turn on the lights, Zechs..." Treize answered slowly. "I was to see out little visitor..."

Zechs nodded and flicked on the light switch right next to the phone, filling the room with a white-gold light that made him squint at first to get used to. Now he could see quite clearly that the boy was wearing an old T-shirt of his, as well as some shorts that were only barely held onto his hips with a small belt. The boy's skin was a golden color, his the cat's fur and been, obviously Asian, with long black hair which Zechs thought with amazement, would look exactly like his cat if it was in a ponytail. Slow he made his way to Treize's side, watching the smaller boy who was breathing so heavily.

"What do you mean you're Wufei?" Treize asked as soon as he felt his friend at his side.

Wufei bit his lip and inwardly moaned. 'Well, here goes everything...'

"I mean that... That cat that you bought... Is me..." Wufei felt the gun press into his neck and talked again, faster. "I know it sounds completely crazy, but you have to believe me! As soon as the sun went down I turned back into... well, into a human! I swear I didn't break it!"

"That... has to be the most outrageous excuse I have ever heard!" Treize snapped, glaring murder at the boy. "Turning into a human! How stupid do you think we are?!"

Wufei's hands were clenched into fists, knuckle white and nails digging so hard into his palms he thought that soon he'd draw blood. "But it's the TRUTH! I know it's insane but you do you think I felt?!" Now Wufei was scared, angry, and frustrated, unable to hold back the words that expressed the turmoil and confusion that he himself was feeling. "YOU try waking up in a small box with holes realizing you have fur and a tail and can't talk anymore when you'd just been shopping earlier that day! Try realized that this insanity isn't a just some damn messed up dream but real and that you've been turned into a cat and purchased! Smaller than a baby, helpless, voiceless... You try that! Try that and tell me how you feel then! You'd be confused, just like me, and you'd have a difficult time explaining why it looks like you broke in too!"

The boy was sobbing now, tears running down his face and glistening as his shoulders slumped in a defeated manner. There was something wet in his hands, confirming that they were bleeding, but Wufei didn't even care anymore. They would never believe him, and now after that outburst they'd consider him not only completely insane, but dangerously insane and shoot him... But he didn't even care anymore... He felt too depressed to care now, after voicing everything he'd been feeling and realized how helpless his situation was...

There was a stiff silence that followed, nothing moving or making any noise, until Treize pulled the gun back slightly. "...Turn around..."

Slowly, nervously, Wufei turned around and looked up into the faces of his captures, standing perfectly still as soon he was all the way around. Treize and Zechs stared at the Chinese boy, both noticing that his eyes were the exact same ink-black that the cat had had.... Even the look in his eyes, the confused and dazed look made him resemble the animal even more.

"What was the nickname I gave the kitten?" Zechs asked suddenly, wanting to find out for sure if this was some good trick or the truth.

Wufei paused, blushing slightly, and whispering so softly that it was barely audible. "...Wu-chan..."

Zechs could only stare for a moment as Treize, also staring wide-eyed, lowered the gun. "...This is going to take some strong coffee and a hell of a lot of explaining..."

Well, there's the end of the chapter. Likie? No likie? Please leave a review with some nice words! (Please not 'This was really good, can't wait for the next chapter. Write more soon'. --; No offense, but it's not all that encouraging...)
