'Target's on the loose! He's heading to the twelfth storey!' Ken yelled through the communicator. The message was sent to the rest of the members in which started to track down their target. The South-wing of the building exploded and caused the whole tower to shake.
'Bombay, will the place be able to hold up until we're done?' Yoji asked while running up the stairs from the West-wing.
'Just get it done in fifteen minutes. Abyssinian, what's your status?'
'On twelfth floor. Target's no where to be found.'
'Found him. Run down the hall and make the left turn on the third corridor. Fourth room from your right.'
'Roger. Leave the target to me. Over.'
Aya entered the large room cautiously with the dim corridor light as his only source. A shuffle from the shadows caused him to tense and he held his katana firmly in his hands.
"You come to kill me?" A voice spoke.
"Ah. You're unknown plot threatens the lives of those living in this world."
"It's just a machine. I built it to change the lives of people totally!" In the dark, Aya saw the faint shadow of a hand pulling down a handle. He scowled and bolted forward, catching the shocked man by the abdomen.
"Shi-ne!" He growled before giving a sharp twist to the choking body.
'Target down, meet at rendezvous points.' He finished and was about to leave the room, when a loud meow was heard. He turned to find a brown cat huddling in a corner of the room.
It was after he caught sight of the cat when a bright flash shot through the whole building, blinding him along.
"Aya-kun! Aya-kun! Daijoubu? Aya-kun!" Aya heard. What the hell, he thought. "Shut up already!" He yelled. But instead of his voice, it came out as a meow. More like a hiss.
He vision blurred as he focused to the bright light in the room and before him was Omi shaking… him.
"Omi! I'm here! That's not me!" He tried again, but it came out as a meow again. Holy shit, now I know what that guy meant by 'change the lives of people totally'. He ran up on all fours to Omi and meowed.
"Oh, a cat. No time now, I have to get Aya-kun back to the flower shop. Yoji? Ken! Aya's out, I need help here."
This is going to be a very long day.
Omi was trying his best to hold on to Aya as the other two searched for them. He was starting to feel uneasy as a particular brown cat kept following him behind despite where he went. He was more worried as Yoji and Ken did not answer when he called for help.
He finally caught sigh of Ken when he reached the lowest floor. Ken looked dazed, staring at the sky. He was sitting in an odd way the usual Ken did not. "Ken-kun? Come help!"
Ken turned his attention to Omi and stared blankly at him. "Meow?"
"MEOW?!? This isn't time to play!"
Aya looked carefully at Ken. He just said 'what'. What does Omi mean by 'meow'? Does that mean the cat turned into Ken? Where's Yoji then?
"Omi!!!!!!" Aya heard. He turned to the side to see Yoji running full speed towards them. "What is going on? Why am I in Yoji's body?!?" Yoji yelled frantically.
"Yoji-kun? What are you talking about?"
"I AM NOT YOJI!!!! I'm Ken!!!!" The blonde yelled again. Omi sweat-dropped and looked down at the cat. Aya stared back at the wide, blue eyes and meowed.
"I think something back went wrong during the mission."
Righto.
Lucky for Aya, Omi had brought him back to the flower shop. Immediately, he got off his Porsche that 'Yoji' drove, and headed into the house.
"What a hyper cat. Although his quietness reminds me of Aya", Ken-in-Yoji said. Omi called for him to carry Aya and bring the meowing-non-stop Ken from the car.
"I think it's regarding the machine Saki made. From the researches, I've made, he made several speeches of changing people's lives, and I think he meant literally. The machine wasn't totally ready, but I think he triggered it when you, Yoji-kun and Aya-kun were in the building."
"What about me meowing all the way?"
"Must've switched with you."
"Then who's the cat?"
"Aya-kun…"
Aya was up in his own room by now, listening very carefully at what the two were talking. He could hear it real clearly even from upstairs. Cat senses are real sharp. Small thumping noises were heard when Ken came running into his room on fours.
"And I suppose you are?" Aya meowed. Ken smiled widely back and hopped onto his bed which nearly bounced the small Aya off the bed.
"Tama! That's what my master calls me." Ken purred back. Aya watched as Tama rolled about on his bed. If he were bigger he would have kicked him off a long time ago.
"Aya-kun!!!!" Omi shouted while running up the stairs. He dashed into the room and picked the brown cat up and cuddled him tightly. "It's great you're okay!"
Aya gave a cough-meow to make Omi let him go and breath. Omi jumped and held Aya an arms length away and stared at the cat in which Aya stared back at him.
"You're not afraid? What if you can't turn back? Oh, it's all my fault!" He weep. Aya stared at him one eye big, one eye small and purred to say it was ok. Omi seemed to understand and squeezed Aya to death again.
"Is that your friend?" Tama meowed. Aya was put down by Omi and he sat on the floor.
"More like comrade. I don't associate any better with 'friends'", he replied. Wait, why can he understand Tama going meow?
From Omi's point of view, Aya and Ken are meowing at eat other, only difference that the cat was doing rather low meows. "Um… here… kitty?" Omi asked. 'Ken' looked back at Omi and jumped off the bed and onto the floor.
"What did he say?" Tama meowed. Aya just said 'friend' and let the rest be figured out by the cat. Tama hesitated before going up to Omi, but did so about a minute later.
"This is so weird…"
"OMI!!!!" A shout came as the only warning before Aya's body came barging into the room. "What the fck is going on!" Omi stared at 'Aya' and gagged. Seeing Aya shout like that is rather unnatural, and probably never happened before.
"What the heck happened and why am I in that pain-in-the-ass's body?" Yoji boomed. Aya hissed but Yoji ignored the cat totally.
"Maa, maa, Aya-kun's also having problems with his… um… life…?" Omi shrugged and glanced at the cat.
"Aya!!!! I order you to change me back!" Yoji moaned. "In this I can't show my face to my ladies…"
"What are they talking about? They're noisy", Tama cut in through the noises Yoji was making. Aya shook his head.
"Rubbish. That imbecile there's complaining that's all."
"Oh yeah. I didn't even get your name!"
"Aya." The cold reply made Tama frown and walk towards Aya. Aya shot the cat a look. "What?"
Yoji and Omi hadn't noticed 'Ken' approaching the cat until it hissed. By the time they caught sight of them, the 'Ken' pounced on Aya. Both were engaged in a rather rough fight with Aya trying to bite Tama at the ears. Tama did the same when he clenched his fist and triggered the claws.
Behind Omi yelled and tried to pry open the two fighters. "Yoji! Help!" He cried while pushing Ken. Yoji cursed and easily pushed 'Ken' away from the hissing cat. "Aya-kun, daijoubu?"
Unfortunately Tama was not in a good mood and delivered a scratched on Omi's back. Omi yelped and Aya lunged at the other cat only to get caught by the blade on his front left foot. He went down onto the floor and got up on threes. Yoji grabbed hold of Ken tightly and shouted at him to calm down.
"Why did you attack me for?" Aya hissed. Tama threw him a glare.
"Because I don't like you. You don't care about other people."
"What do you know about me? Stay out of my business pussy."
"Why you… You're the worst human I've yet to seen! Even my master was nice to me!" Tama screeched and went for Aya's throat.
"Aya-kun!" Omi screamed. Yoji was about to pull the wire from his watch when he remembered this was Aya's body.
"I GOT SOMETHING!" Ken shouted, running into the room. He saw himself clamping his mouth around the cat's neck and screamed. "GET THAT FURBALL OUT OF MY MOUTH!!!!!!"
Tama got surprised by the calling and dropped Aya out. Aya shook and ran out of the room quickly to the bathroom. "Ken! Give me back my body!" Yoji growled, strangling Ken around the neck. Ken choked and gasped for air.
Omi didn't really care for the two and went to were Aya fled off to.
In the bathroom Aya was attempting to turn on the tap to wash himself from the bite Tama had on him. You would have to turn in clockwise a full turn before any water came out, and he cannot grab onto the tap with paws.
His help came when Omi entered the bathroom and asked what Aya was doing. Understanding the situation, Omi turn on the tap while turning on another which activates the warm water.
"Ack! How can you bath in that?!?" Aya heard. He looked down the basin to see Tama giving him a disgusted look. Omi help scratch his back which was rather relaxing.
"I'm not born a cat so I have daily baths", Aya replied plainly. He saw Tama give him the shivers. "What? You hate water?"
"Of course I do! Which cat doesn't?"
"Me"
"You just said you're not…"
"Born a cat, but now I am a cat." Aya countered easily.
I kinda enjoy writing this story. Btw, I do multiple stories at once. Please don't be surprised if you see many updated/published on the same day. R & R thanks! Those who like this stories, look out for chapter 2 soon! Tama is the common name for pets I presume, so why not this kitty? .
