"Misaki!" Li cried following the fleeing cat.
Misaki was quite a bit faster than him on four legs (although, of course, he could have caught up using his 'ninja' skills). As Li chased Misaki he spotted a different black cat that he recognized.
"Mao?" Li asked curiously. "What do you want?"
"Hei, thank Kami. I've been looking everywhere for you. We have a problem. A rouge contractor needs to be brought down."
"Not now. I need help. Misaki has been turned into a cat. Can you talk to her?" Hei countered slipping into his contractor persona.
"Wait a cat? The contractor's power is turning people into different animals." Mao thought.
"Oh! I almost forgot." Li said holding up a small package. "He was going after this."
Shocked Mao said, "That's exactly what we were supposed to get back Hei. I'll take that to Huang and then I can help with Misaki."
"Okay, but what will I tell her about the box." Hei wondered.
"I don't know. You'll think of something." Mao said taking the box and running off.
As soon as Mao left, Misaki came wandering back looking for her lost companion.
"Oh, hey Misaki. Sorry I must've zoned out. So which way is your apartment?" Hei's voice got softer falling into the role of Li.
"Meow." Misaki replied running off again.
"Geez. I wish she could speak like Mao." Li mumbled to himself before following.
After a few blocks, Li caught up to Misaki. She was scratching at the door with a spare key sitting beside her.
'I bet she tried to open the door herself.' Li thought to himself with an amused smile. He picked up the key and opened Misaki's door. Misaki rushed in and ran around eyeing everything in the room.
Li strode into the apartment and took a look around. The living room that was placed right inside the door was tidy albeit not exactly clean. Papers were scattered all around on the coffee table in front of a worn, brown couch. An empty mug of coffee sat on top of everything. The rest of the room was tidy with a few DVDs by the television. The kitchen was clean with only the dishes from breakfast in the sink. Li only peeked into the bathroom and it was neat with a few containers of makeup sitting on the counter. Most of the apartment had bland, light brown walls. The only room Li didn't see was the bedroom. Misaki the cat (as she had been dubbed) did hissed and pawed at Li if he tried to enter and the door was closed.
"Well, what do you want to do?" Li asked the black cat.
In return, Misaki the cat jumped onto the couch and pawed at the remote sitting on the couch.
"Really? Is that all there is to do?" Li questioned.
Misaki the cat nodded her head and stretched taking up most of the couch. Li sighed and sat down on what was left of the couch before turning the television on. Li and Misaki the cat channel surfed for a good hour. Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, they couldn't find anything to watch.
Li bored turned to look at Misaki the cat only to find her sound asleep. 'Huh, she's really cute like that. Wait, what?!' Li cried in his head, 'Did I really just think that? Oh well, at least she's a cat. People usually find cats cute, right?'
Misaki curled up into a ball and continued sleeping while the contractor tried to figure out whether or not people actually thought cats were cute. Just before Li went absolutely crazy Mao jumped up to and pawed at the window. Thankful for someone else Li practically lunged over to the window.
"Mao." Li acknowledged hiding the relief he really felt and switching into Hei's persona.
"Hei, they said that the effects should wear off in 48 hours." Mao replied.
"So can I just leave her or..." Hei trailed off.
"Of course you have to stay. We need to be sure it wears off and make sure the the contractor doesn't come back. The Syndicate said your job is to make sure he doesn't try to retrieve the package and as far as he knows you two have it." Mao explained.
"Alright I understand. Are you going to stay or not." Li said.
"I'm suppose to go track him down. Sorry I can't help you." Mao said running off. "Bye Hei, good luck."
Hei switch back to Li as he sighed and went back to the couch glancing at Misaki the cat. It looked like he was going to be stuck here for a little while. Maybe her voice would come back first Li hoped.
A/N: Whoo! Posted. I win. Not really. Sorry about being late (again). I hope you liked this chapter and thanks to anyone who read/reviewed or whatever else.
