Aya dreamt of that day. The one she had read about in her diary.
-Dreaming-
"Happy birthday Aya!" A boy said, holding out a box to a girl about his age.
"Yay! A present! Thanks Hige!" The girl said gleefully, jumping up and down.
Hige smiled and offered her the box which she accepted gleefully. She grinned. "Can I open it now?"
"Der! Of course you can!" He said smiling. Aya smiled again and sat down on the swings, Hige sitting down on the swing next to her.
Aya carfully untied the ribbon and opened the small box. She looked over at Hige and smiled and then lifted up the lid. "Awe! It's so cute!" She said, pulling out a necklace with a wolf charm on it.
"I thought you'd like it!" He said, smiling at her.
"Like it! I love it! Thank you so so so much Hige!" She said, grinning ear to ear. She jumped up and hugged him and unhooked the necklace carefully. "Can you hook that for me?"
Hige nodded and stood up, taking both ends of the necklace and gentfully placing it around her neck. She lifted up her long hair, moving it out of the way. He smiled and hooked the chain dropping it gently, as it fell around her neck.
She let her hair down and turned around, smiling and holding the charm inbetween her thumb and index finger. She looked up at him and smiled. "Thanks so much!"
-End of Dream-
That next morning Aya awoke, happy to have gotten a good 8 hours of sleep. She rubbed her eyes sleepily and stared up at the ceiling. She thought for a moment and then got out of bed, walking over to her jewelry box and opening it. After looking through it for a minute, she pulled out a necklace, a small wolf charm hanging from it.
She smiled and hung it around her neck, looking at the clock and smiling again."Perfect timing! Shopping!" She grinned and walked over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that said, 'The more boys I get to know, the more I love dogs.' She quickly changed into her clothes and slipped on her flip flops. She put her hair up into a messy bun and walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. She fed Masuki and brushed her teeth, then she grabbed her purse and walked out the door.
The sun was shining and she smiled happily. People were bustling about, in and out of stores. She walked down the street towards the local mall.
She stepped inside and grinned taking a deep breathe. "Now this..." She said, looking around. "Is real therapy!" She adjusted her purse on her shoulder and walked into DEB, (a/n: i love that store! It's got the cutest shirts and jeans! ) Walking to the nearest rack of t-shirts.
The first that caught her eye was a orange one that said, 'I'm single, You're a surfer.' She laughed and put it back, trading it out for another one that said, 'You're a cute boy... I'm available. Get the picture?' She hung this over her arm and continued shifting through the shirts, soon moving to the rack of jeans.
She walked up to the cashier and placed her shirt and a few pair of jeans on the counter. She paid, grabbed her bag and walked out of the store and then headed to Rave. (a/n: another awesome store!) There wasn't anything she liked in there so she continued on.
12 stores, 16 bags, 230 dollars, and 3 hours later, she was ready to head home.
She tromped out of the mall, dragging her bags along. This is a time I wish I had a car... She thought to herself, fantasizing about her dream car. She sighed heavily and continued home.
She finally made it to her door and dropped her bags on the porch, digging around in her purse for her keys. Little did she know she was being watched from the bushes just across the street by our little canine friends.
"That's Aya!" One said. He was lanky and skinnier than the rest, a reddish brown colour, and four bracelets rested on his right paw.
"Yes Toboe... For the thousanth time..." Another replied. He was bigger than his companion and slightly huskier as well. He was a light brown colour and a black dog collar was around his neck.
"Are you sure Hige? Aya Setsume? Haru and Leena's sister?" Said another sitting next to him. He stared at his friend with his golden eyes. His canine friend simply nodded.
Aya growled and sat down on the porch, dumping the contents out onto it. She dug around through the pile for a moment, picking up random things and then tossing them to the side. She pulled out a credit card and grinned.
"I've been looking for that!" She said happily, putting it in her wallet. After digging through her purse and not finding any signs of her keys, she put everything back into it and stood up. She looked around and shoved her hands into her pockets, digging around for her keys there.
Then she moved to the back pockets and still found no signs of her key. She jumped over the railing from the steps and stood up on a flowerpot and looked inside the window.
There, sitting on top of the kitchen table were her keys. She groaned and hopped down, thinking of a way to get inside. The canines sat and peered through the bushes, watching her walk around in concentration.
"Aha!" She grabbed a bobby pin from her hair, and hopped back up onto the porch. She bent over and looked into the key hole, not long after sticking the bobby pin into it.
She turned the door knob this way and that, until she felt it click. She turned the knob all the way and the door swung open. "Eurika!" She shouted, tossing her hands up into the air. She walked inside, and Masuki ran past her legs and out into the street.
"Masuki!" Aya said, spinning around and watching as her cat dodged around oncoming cars. Car tires screeched and the cat leapt up into the air, and onto a tree branch.
Aya shook her head and ran across the street as well, dodging every other car coming her way. She got to the base of the tree, which happened to be right next to the bushes the dogs were hiding behind, and looked up into it. Masuki had perched herself on the highest branch possible.
"God damn cat..." She said. She crouched down for a moment, and pushed off, intending to only jump to the bottom branch and then climb the rest of the way, but she soared to the top branch, landing shakily next to Masuki. She sat dumbfounded for a moment, as the cat stared sleepily at her. She looked down at the ground and realized how far up she had jumped. "My god..."
Masuki mewed and jumped up, perching herself on Aya's shoulder. "Okay... Let's see... If... If I could jump up... Then uh... I can... Jump down..?" She said nervouslly, looking down again.
"What's wrong with her? Is she afraid of heights or something?" Said a gray wolf, sitting next to Hige.
"And you just assume I know, Tsume?" Hige said, staring up at Aya in the tree.
Aya gulped and adjusted herself so she was crouching on the branch. She slowly edged closer to the edge and then jumped off, landing in a kneeling posistion.
She stood up shakily and walked back across the street, not paying attention to oncoming traffic. She walked up the stairs and picked up her bags, walking into the house and closing the door slowly.
She walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. "I think... I'm gonna be sick..."
"That was... Um... Weird..." Said Toboe.
Hige nodded, joined by Kiba.
Tsume simply huffed and then stood up. "If you ask me, I say she's been living with these humans too long. She acts like she has no memory of even being a wolf."
"But.. How can someone forget they're a wolf? It doesn't seem possible." Hige said, staring at Aya's door.
"How am I supposed to know, Porky?"
After staring at herself in the mirror for a few minutes, Aya sighed. "So much for a relaxing weekend..." She said to herself, plopping down into a chair. She looked around for a moment and spotted her computer desk, with the unused computer perched upon it. "Maybe... Yeah... I'll just do some web surfing."
"C'mon guys... Let's go..." Kiba said, standing up and transforming quickly. Toboe, Hige, and Tsume did the same thing, Tsume and Toboe following Kiba. Hige stared after Aya for a moment and then ran to catch up with the rest.
A few hours later, Aya walked into the kitchen, only to see Masuki sprawled out on the floor. She smiled and knelt down to pet her, thinking she was taking a mid-afternoon nap. She set her hand on the cat's side, but only to feel no movement of breathing.
"Masuki? Masuki!" Aya picked up the cat and looked at her for a moment. She grabbed her keys and ran out of the house, cat in arms, towards the vetrinary office. She noticed herself going unusally fast, but paid no attention to it.
She ran into the vet's office and ran up to the counter. "My cat! She's not breathing!"
The clerk stood up and held out her hands for the cat. "Give her here... I'll take her in back."
Aya nodded and handed her cat to the clerk and watched her rush off towards the back room. She walked around nervouslly, bit her nails, sat for a few moments, and then went through the whole process again.
After a little while a woman in a white lab coat came out and put her hand on Aya's shoulder. Aya turned around and began pummelling her with questions. "Is Masuki okay? What's wrong with her? Will she make it?"
The woman held up her hands. "Whoa Whoa... How old exactly is your cat?"
Aya stared for a moment and then replied. "She's pretty old... Maybe 10... 11..? I don't know for sure..."
"Has she gone through any stress lately?" The woman said calmly.
"Um... This morning she ran across a busy street and jumped up into a tree..." Aya said.
The woman simply nodded. "Well... We've discovered your cat might have a heart disease... We're testing her right now to make sure... It's not going to get finished for a few days... So why don't you just head home and check in with her tomorrow... 'Kay?"
Aya thought for a moment and then sighed. "Alright..." She thanked the doctor and then walked out of the office, and back towards her house.
She sighed and walked back into the house. She looked at the clock and realized that she had been at the office for hours. The clock said 11. She walked into the bedroom and changed into her pajamas. She knew she had locked the door and didn't bother with the windows. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she went into a dreamless sleep.
An hour later.. The kitchen window slid open and a match was struck. The match was held up to the kitchen curtains, the flame quickly catching it. The window was closed and the flame quickly spread up the curtain and caught on the cupboard.
Aya continued to sleep as the inferno spread throughout the house, until she was caught, completely surrounded by flames.
DUN DUN DUN! XD oh nu! what will happen to Aya! with Masuki gone, she has no guard system to know that she's in serious danger!
