Well, here's the next chapter! Sorry about some mistakes on the last authors note thing. I meant next chapter, not paragraph. BTW, I'm changing the placement of this story: it's before she found out that she can become a cat and no one knows yet. Also, I sometimes type Minto instead of Mint cause it sometimes happens. From now on, I will sometimes type Minto instead, but the others don't change. Also, when Ichigo talks from now on until further notice, it will be in bold, like this. When anyone is thinking, it will be in italics. When Ichigo is thinking or talking, a translation or what she says will be in bold italics. That is how I always do thinking when I'm writing a fanfic.

Chapter 4: NYA?!

It was morning the next day. Ichigo woke up with a yawn.

Why am I in bed? I guess they put me in bed.

She observed her surroundings.

That's strange. Everything's bigger. Maybe it was because of that blue smokey stuff that Akasaka-san sprayed me with.

She got up and jumped out of bed.

Wait a minute…why do I have four legs? And why is my skin soft? And…

Ichigo looked at herself in the mirror. Then, she screamed; well, she screamed in her head cause…

NYAAA! I TURNED INTO A CAT!

She ran around in circles.

THOSE BAKAS! I AM TOTALLY GONNA MURDER THEM!

She looked up.

Why is Minto the only one in bed? Every woke up already. I thought she would be an early bird…NYAA! WHY AM I WORRYING ABOUT THAT?! I NEED TO GET ME BACK TO NORMAL!

Ichigo jumped out of the room and sneaked out the lodge. She didn't want to let Lettuce, Pudding, or Zakuro know that she became a little, black kitten.

When she got out, she thought, If I tell Akasaka-san or Shirogane, they'll tell everyone! I can't let that happen!

So Ichigo ran outside the girls' lodge and thought that she would return back to normal…eventually….

………………………………………………………………………

"AIEEEEEEE!"

Lettuce, Pudding and Zakuro heard a scream from upstairs, and the scream sounded like Mint.

The three rushed upstairs.

"Mint-oneechan!" Pudding exclaimed.

"What's up?!" Zakuro asked.

"It's Ichigo! She's gone! As in disappeared!" Mint pointed to Ichigo's bed.

The blankets were almost like they were never used, except there was a few folds.

"And it's like her bed hasn't been used either!" Lettuce exclaimed.

"We should go look for her, na no da!" Pudding suggested.

"Let's split up!" Mint said.

"Why are you worried?" Lettuce asked.

"Just shut the hell up!"

Outside, Zakuro went to tell the two geniuses whiled Mint, Lettuce and Pudding went to find Ichigo around the area.

She couldn't have gone that far… Mint thought.

While the others were out, Ichigo went to the door of the lodge.

Wow, they left the door open. Ichigo thought.

Ichigo went in to see if she could get anything to eat. She found some bread crumbs that Pudding was so careless to drop. While she was eating, Mint came back from the search.

"Why is Ichigo gone…" Mint walked in, "She wouldn't leave. There's no food out there. Mr. Attitude and Prince Charming don't know either."

Mint moved to the refrigerator to get a pop. While she was walking over, she stepped on Ichigo's tail.

NYAAAA!

"WAAAHHH!" Ichigo cried.

"Huh?" Mint bent down, "Well how about that? Pudding forgot to close the door and you must've came in."

Mint picked Ichigo up, "You remind me of someone. Hmm. Oh well."

Is she really that blind?! Ichigo thought.

"I'm positive that's Ichigo's bell that her boyfriend gave her. And that's the bell that goes on her tail when she transforms," Minto thought.

Mint sighed, "No way. Ichigo may be infused with a cat, but a baka like you couldn't be Ichigo."

NYA?!

BAKA?!

"I guess I can keep you," Mint put Ichigo in her arms, "I'll take you home and let you play with Miki."

NYA!!!!!!!!!!!

MIKI'S A DOG! HE'S GONNA KILL ME!

Lettuce and Pudding walked in.

They saw the kitten and Pudding said, "What a cute kitten, na no da!"

"Where'd you find it, Minto-san?" Lettuce asked.

"Someone forgot to close the door and this little baka came in," Mint said, emphasizing someone.

That girl is so dead! Me, a baka?! Ichigo thought.

"Did you name it, na no da?" Pudding asked.

"How 'bout Baka?" Mint said jokingly.

NYAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

DON'T EVEN JOKE ABOUT IT!!!!

"That's rude, Minto-san," Lettuce protested.

"I was just joking," Mint replied.

"How about what Kisshu calls Ichigo,na no da?" Pudding suggested.

"You mean koneko-chan?" Mint said, "No way!"

Just then, Zakuro came in, "Slacking off, huh?" She saw the kitten, "You guys are keeping her, huh?"

"Mmhmm," The three girls nodded in unison.

"Given it a name yet?"

"No," The three shook their heads.

"What do you think you should name her?" Zakuro asked.

Mint spoke up, "I don't know why, but I just have the sudden urge to call it Ichigo."

"Yeah, same here, na no da," Pudding agreed.

"Then let's call it Ichigo until Ichigo-san gets back," Lettuce said.

"Sure, why not," Zakuro said.

Wow, they actually named me by my name. Now I don't have to get used to something else. This might turn out.

Ichigo smiled and played along.
