"Misaki?" Li stared, dumbfounded.
At that moment a man jumped into the alley. He wore regular clothes but had a leis in his left hand. His jacket flapped noiselessly around him as he promptly threw the leis at Li with his left hand and attempted to stab him with an unseen dagger in his right hand.
"Ah," Li (faked) screamed, "W-w-what are y-you doing?!"
As Li jumped, to the left, he snatched up the cat and the cardboard box. He rushed out of the alleyway ducking and screaming.
"Ah, help! There's a crazy man with flowers and daggers after me!" Li shouted.
Unfortunately the street was deserted except for Kanami. Kanami had followed them while trying to be sneaky.
"Oh, eh, hey Li. I was just wondering where-"
"Ah, run! There's a crazy man after us!" Li warned and promptly tripped over nothing, narrowly avoiding a bullet.
Kanami, startled, jumped into action and pulled a gun out of her purse (It was in case of emergencies). The mystery man fled and disappeared into another alley as he dodged the shots.
"Geez, I leave you and Misaki alone and this is what happens? Where is Misaki anyways, she could have taken that guy?" Kanami asked.
"Meow!" the cat in Li's arms said.
"Oh, well, you see." Li stammered, "I'm pretty sure this is Misaki..."
"What how did this happen?" Kanami said. Her whole plan ruined.
Li recounted the events leading up to now as the cat mowed occasionally.
"So, what's in the box?" Kanami asked curiously.
"Oh, I don't know. I don't think we should open it here though. Do you know what just happened." Li replied.
"No, I have no idea." Kanami lied.
"Oh, what should we do though? About Misaki, I mean." Li asked.
"Why don't you take Misaki to your place and I'll go try to find out what happened to her at the station." Kanami suggested.
"I wish I could but my landlady hates cats." Li answered, remembering Mao, "I don't think she'll let me take her in."
"Okay I'll give you directions to Misaki's apartment and you two can chill out there."
At this the cat went wild, hissing and squirming in Li's arms. "Come on now, Misaki, do you have any better ideas?" Defeated the cat quieted down.
"Okay Li," Kanami said looking back up at him, "follow this road, take a left. Then a right at the third..."
As Kanami rattled off directions to Misaki's home, Li thought about what he would do about this odd turn of events. He would have to warn Mao, Huang, and Yin not to contact him. He also wondered about how he could change Misaki back into a human and where all of this crazy turn of events would lead him.
Li could almost feel the blush radiating from Misaki at the thought of him going to her apartment so unexpectedly. Before Kanami could finish, Maski managed to slip out of Li's grasp and ran off in the direction of home.
"Hey! Misaki!" Li called and followed after leaving Kanami talking to herself.
"Hmpf. Running off while I was talking. Oh, well." With a sigh Kanami took out her cell phone. "Yes I need to know which star was recently active and who it was...Yes...Okay...Yeah I'm coming back right now...Alert her team and her father...Thanks. Bye."
She hung up her phone and thought to herself, 'Curses. Maybe something will happen with Misaki as a cat. I still want my friend back though.' She walked in the opposite direction and sighed at the prospect of going back to work.
A/N: DON'T KILL ME! I'm sorry for the short chapter but this story, *sigh* I have no idea where it's going. It's basically writing itself right now. Also I'm REALLY tired. Mistakes are terrible and I hope you people point them out so I can fix them. Thanks to everyone who has read.
