I pressed up against the door and looked around, the halls where completely empty.

They shouldn't be it was only a bit past dawn.

Sneaking along the shadows of the hallway I only stopped twice cause of a passing guard, But once I got to the door that led to the outside I shed all my caution and darted down the hall only to be caught by my tail by some one.

"Where are you off to little one?" said my uncle Folken.

"I was off to see Rags but you stopped me" I pouted as he lifted me up by my tail and looked me straight in the eye.

"You should tell your mother first" He scolded gently.

I just stuck my tongue out at him, "I wasn't gonna be gone long I just wanted a visit with Rags".

Uncle Folken seemed to think it over for a second before he opened his mouth "Come back before the breakfast bell rings you hear?" He smiled slightly.

I squealed and hugged him the best I could since he still held me upside down by my tail.

He let go of my tail suddenly as I squeaked and landed on my hands not to gracefully.

He snickered as I leered at him over my shoulder and scampered off on four paws.

(-(Rags)-)

Stretching out in my comfy tiny bed I yawned and scratched my messy mop of dirty blonde hair (Not literally dirty!).

I sat up and rubbed the back of my neck as I yawned again and smacked my lips together as cracked my knuckles and stood up carefully so not to bang my head on the slanted roof .

Hunched over I shuffled to the middle so I could stand up tall and stretch my back out and then work the cramps out of my arms.

I hunched over again and shuffled over to the window and looked out it.

I chuckled at the sight of little Sky scrambling away from a few chickens that thought her tail a giant worm A/N: my mom used to get chased around by chickens when she was little ::Snickers:: xD

I could hear yelling and cursing the chickens as she ran in circles clutching her tail.

"Guess she's heading over here" I yawned out as I stretched the best could all hunch over and shuffled over to the washing area in the corner of the room.

I washed my face and ran my hands through my messy and then got dressed.

Shuffling to the center of the room I opened the floor door and climbed down the ladder that lead into the barn.

The minute I set foot on the ground Sky came tumbling, scrambled up and shut the door and locked pressing her body against it as she breathed heavily.

I didn't know weather to laugh or worry, Her hair was a mess and covered in feathers, her face covered in scratches her shirt tattered and her tail…her tail had seen better days.

I chuckled softly as she sent me an adorable threatening look then I laughed as she blew a feather from her face.

I laughed even harder when she said "Chickens are evil.." as she stroked her pecked up tail

Sitting up one of the stall doors she began to fix her self up as I began cleaning stalls as I mucked the stalls like I did every morning.

(-(Sky)-)

I sat munching on a yummy sour Piccus fruit watching Rags examined uncles Van's horse Darkness.

I was sitting close enough for Darkness to reach out and lip the bottom of my shirt, I giggled and petted his velvety nose.

"You wont believe the guy I met at the ball last night Rags" I sighed as ran my hand over darkness's long muzzle and he whickered flicking his tail in rags face.

Sputtering Rags glared at the horse as I covered my mouth to keep from laughing aloud.

"So what about this guy that I cant believe you met?" Rags muttered with looking up as he ran a gentle hand over Dark's leg.

"Oh he's absolutely wonderful and he's a cat person just like me and about my age" I sighed stretching out along the stall

"Is that so" Rags answered absent mindedly, "Yea and he has dark fur and the most beautiful silvery violet eyes that are so intense yet gently…kind of like uncle Van's eyes" I bit into my fruit and puckered my lips at its extremely sour but yummy taste.

Rags looked at my lounging figure quirking a brow that I didn't notice, "What his name again?" he asked.

"I didn't say, His names is Ryan…Ryan Michal of Matsuei" I sighed at the meer mention of his name and my cheeks filled with red.

At the corner of my eye I saw Rags stiffen at Ryan's name "What's the matter Rags?" I blinked tilting my head.

"Its nothing…" he replied stiffly, as I opened my mouth to ask him again I heard –very faintly- Mama call me in for breakfast.

Frowning I felt frustrated and a little cheated as I scampered off leaving, I paused an looked over my shoulder as Rags seemed to crumble bit by bit, wincing I turned and scampered back to the palace

(-(Rags)-)

"He's back…." I whispered as I leaned on Darkness weakly.

"God damnit….I thought they where gone for good" I snarled as I felt something flicker within me.

Looking at my large hands they began to shrink, my nails grew longer, I began to get short as black fur patched through my skin.

Growling I bit my finger and pricked it with a fang as the stable door creaked open I peaked over Dark's stall door and bit back a groan.

"Rags?" called out Sky who was leading a horse in gently.

I groaned loudly when a tail popped out of my pants.A/N: That sounded major wrong oo;

"R-rags?" Sky whimpered timidly.

I sighed grumbling, She cant bloody see me like this….what will she think I thought as I tucked my over sized tunic in my breeches thanking god I was still tall enough to fit them.

Well...one way or another she's going to find me… I thought as I stepped out of the stall.

I smiled slightly when her jaw dropped.

(-(Sky)-)

I couldn't believe it…there was a cat boy more handsome then Ryan.

This guy was bloody drop dead gorgeous, I prayed I wasn't drooling as I watched him.

He was almost as tall as uncle van yet a little shorter, he had shaggy blond hair and gold green eyes like….Rags, he had Dark fur like Ryan's and a long tail that swished.

"Hello there." He said with a lovely lit to his voice.

"Uh..er…um" I blabbered then promptly…fainted.

(-(Rags)-)

"Oi vey…" I sighed burrying my face in my hands
