Slowly blinking, I opened my eyes and looked around. Looked like I was in the Shera's medical wing... At least my head stopped hurting, and my chest was nothing but a dull ache. I closed my eyes turning onto my side and saw on the other side of the curtain, two figures arguing. Well, one of them was yelling alot.

"Doing your duty? You're duty is to be her guardian! Which means you guard your summoner, not the other way around!" I heard Kel yelling and throwing his arms around in the air.

"I know that but-"

"No buts Hei-man! Man I can't believe you'd love that broad more then Kiako..." Kel was sighing and running his hand through his hair, "But seriously man, Kiako loves ya more then anyone else in the world. Well, she DID until you went and started to neglect her and hang out with that other girl."

I heard Heihachi heave a heavy sigh.

"Very well then, give my regards to her..."

"What? Ya ain't even gonna check on her?"

"I doubt that she'd want to see me anymore, from what you're telling me and from what I already know what I've done, I've caused her enough pain..." there were some foot steps and I closed my eyes again.

Yes, everything did hurt. Yes I felt utterly betrayed and hated by Hei-san, yes I-

Hei-san? I thought I stopped calling him that... We are strangers now, we... We...

"Hey, you feelin' any better?" I snapped out of my own world and smiled up at Kel and a few of the others that had come in. I nodded happily. Kel sighed patting his chest and sat on a chair that was beside the bed while Zero, Kariudo, Ian and Vale either stood around me or took a seat at the foot of the bed.

"You really worried us when you started to throw up so much blood, you're lucky that Kakashi's a super fast runner otherwise you might've not made it." Ian said.

"Yeah, you should've healed yourself before anyone else, you idiot." Zero scoffed, "If you can't even save yourself how're you gonna save other people?"

"Hey at least I tried." I shrugged the winced gripping at my shoulder, "Jeez, still aches..."

"You're lucky you got here when you did." a lady with her left arm out of her coat and one of her eyes shut said as she walked in, "Shalua Rui, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you to." I said bowing slightly and sitting up, "So... how are the others?"

"They're all fine, minor injuries are all treated." Shalua said, "I'm surprised to see that you've healed so fast from the extent of your wounds." I rubbed behind my head.

"Guess being half demon has it's advantages."

Shalua smiled, "I see. Well, you better get some more rest. Everyone out!"

"No! I shall never leave her side again!" Vale shouted dramatically and clung to my arm, "Never, ever, ever, ever, ever... NOOO!"

"Get some sleep, we'll see you later." Kariudo said waving as Kel and Zero grabbed Vale from the back of his tux.

"UNHAND ME! YOUR UNMANACURED HANDS ARE FILTHY!" Vale protested as he was dragged.

When the others had left, I layed back down on the bed and sighed. So... tired... I think I might've used up almost all of my chakra and MP... I rolled onto my side closing my eyes and drifting into sleep.

ʓʓʓ

After what felt like hours, I sat up yawning and stretching my arms and legs out, hopped out of bed landing straight onto my feet. Taking a step forward I tripped over my own feet and fell face first into the floor. Stupid feet... Sitting back up again, I raised my foot to scratch at my ear and... Hey wait a second...

I stopped scratching and looked around myself seeing giant blocks and platforms above my head. I looked again seeing Miu walked past me. She raised her eyebrow at me and walked away. Man, I hate it when she looks down on me. Literally! I paused seeing an orange cat in front of me. Trying not to scare it away, I moved to the left and the cat followed me, then I went to the right and it STILL followed me! I hissed at the cat and it hissed at me the exact same time. Taking a few steps back, I ran full speed at the cat and ended up slamming into a hard wall with a metallic, BONG.

Rubbing my head, I looked up again to see it had run into... A mirror? I stood up and walked side to side as the orange cat followed me.

Uh-oh...

I looked at myself seeing I was completely furry with no clothes, just a bunch of...Fur. My hands were gone and I was on all fours running in involuntary circles.

Dammit dammit! How the hell did I become a real cat!

I jumped with ease back onto the bed I was sleeping in and grabbed the edge of the blanket with my teeth. Might as well make it LOOK like I was sleeping.

Afer fixing that, I jumped off and decided to explore around a bit. Scurrying around and occasionally falling over my feet, I made it into another part of the medical wing where Kirara and Katsuchiro were together and Kirara was cradling Katsu's bandaged arm.

"Are you sure you're ok?" she asked with a worried expression, "I always worry when you go into battle..."

"Don't worry, if I die, it will be when I'm protecting you." Katsuchiro said. Kirara threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Then, if you are to die, I will come with you." she said softly and Katsuchiro pulled her closer.

"Lady Kirara..."

"AWWWW!" my head bolted upwards and I dodged to the side just as Kiku stomped his foot down onto the ground. Jeez! Mechanical oaf almost flattened me!

"Sister and Katsu are doing something together!" Komachi teased sitting on Kiku's shoulder.

"Yeah! Some kinda hanky-panky!" he bellowed loudly and the two of the laughed as Kirara and Katsuchiro turned red together. I quickly left the room and skittered down the corridor. I wonder where else I could go...

Feeling a pull on my scruff, I started to kick and flail around shouting threats that all came out in angry meows and hisses.

"Oh! It's a kitten!" Yuffie said curiously as Kyoko looked as well, "Hey, do you have the same idea I do?"

Kyoko and Yuffie looked at eachtother with a smile I knew all too well...

"MAKE OVER!" they both shouted and I was suddenly shoved into a tiny green sweater.

"Aww, she looks like a pumpkin!" Kyoko squealed happily. I hissed at the two of them.

I'm going to destroy you!

"Ooh ooh! Let's try this sweater!" Yuffie said holding up a small pink one, "I used to put it on my teddy bears when I was a kid!"

Oh my LORD!

"Actually, I wonder how she'll look in this one." Kyoko said slipping me into-

A striped yellow and black sweater.

GRAAH!

"Lookie! Bumble bee kitty!" she squeaked while sticking on a headband with antannae attached to it.

"Actually, I've been curious about this one." Yuffie said and pulled the ugliest, multicolored sweater that looked like it blew up in the knitting machine, over my head. Or just plain blew up in the person's hands, or the person who was making it blew up WHILE making it cause IT blew up!

NOOO!

I nipped at Yuffie's hand and bolted away when she let go.

I gotta get this sweater off... I gotta get this sweater off... I GOTTA GET THIS SWEATER OFF!

I rounded a few corners and when I felt that it was safe, started to tug and pull at the stupid ugly sweater with my teeth and paws.

DAMMIT! I MISS MY THUMBS!

Noticing a small hook of bent metal in the wall, I hooked the sweater end against it and started to try and wiggled out of it only getting one leg out. When I tried to get the rest of my body out, my head ended up where the sleeve was and my other paw was still in the other sleeve.

DAMN!

There was a loud CLUNK and I looked up seeing a big, dark wall of... Something...

I ran. FAST. I rolled away and took off down the hallways turning right, right, left, right, and sometimes the rare whole circle just to find out where I was going. I could actually feel the yarn unraveling behind me...

Making a sharp turn, I skidded to a halt when I slammed into a pair of hard boots. Looking up I saw-

Nero, the Sable.

I squeaked and turned around slamming into another pair of hard boots.

"Hey, Nero-san. I didn't think you'd do something so cruel to a cat." I was picked up by the back of the ugly sweater and it was pulled off of me. I looked up to see my savior was-

Heihachi.

I groaned and it came out as a longly dragged MREOOOOW...

"I wouldn't even go near the feline." Nero replied, "Nore would I ever put such an atrocious, distasteful sweater on one. Such animal cruelty is to be deserved by none."

Yeah, you didn't have to run down 15 hallways with it on!

"I wonder who's cat this is, she only has a bell collar on." Heihachi said lifting me up to his face. I almost felt the urge to slash my claws across it.

"It's none of my concerns." Nero said and disappeared in a cloud of darkness. Heihachi blinked for a moment then smiled down at me.

"Well kitty, guess I'll take care of you for a while then." he said and carried me away.

Oy! Put me down! You jerk! You two timin', squinty eyed, jerk!

"Hey take it easy." Heihachi said and after punching a few keys into a door, walked through into a room and the door snapped shut.

DAMN! The door!

ʓʓʓ

He set me on the bed to his temporary room and sat down beside me. Some work tools were layed neatly on the nearby desk and a well sized porthole showed the clouds passing by. Heihachi set his pilot hat down on the nightstand and layed down on the bed tucking his hands behind his head.

"Well, this'll be your home for a while." he said outloud and I had already jumped off the bed and pawed at the door, "Sorry, I can't let anyone else see you here. If they did you might have to be kicked off. That Cid man is really scary when he's angry..." After trying to pull off a Mr. Fantastic immitation of trying to squeeze under the door, I sighed my defeated sigh and jumped up onto the bed laying on the pillow beside Heihachi.

Well, I might be totally angry with him, but doesn't mean I can't enjoy his company for the time being. Heihachi smiled and gave my head a pet. I started to purr and he chuckled stroking my fur. I closed my eyes to rest them and curled my tail around me using it as a kind of pillow for the moment. Feeling Heihachi's hand stop moving, I opened my eyes to see he was fast asleep.

I sighed. Well, he did back stab me.. Then again, he was still very kind to me, even when I was doing some of the most stupid things. Even back at the cavern, I guess he gets points for actually wanting to try and fix his mistake...

"...ko... I... I'm...so...Sorry... Please don't... " I sat up watching intently at Heihachi curling into a ball muttering in his sleep. "Please I don't... I didn't..."

He was having a nightmare. Plain and simple. But, about what?

I leaned in closer and tilting my head to the side. He looked like he was in pain in the dream, maybe something from his past?

"Stop it... Don't... don't..." a tear rolled down his cheek as he started to cry in his sleep, "No... I'm... So sorry... Kiako..." Staring at him for a moment, I went on all fours and crawled beside him so I was lying next to him.

Arg... Love is so troublesome...
