"Oh no! I'm so sorry!"
There was a poof. And then, where there had been a fairly tall, orange-haired teen with considerable fighting abilities, there was a small orange cat in the arms of a blond girl who was profusely apologizing.
The cat tried to scowl at her, but it didn't quite work. Just like Tohru, no one could really stay mad at Colette for long.
No matter how often she tripped into him.
"Did Colette trip again?" A brunette swordsman came into view, a slightly manic grin spread across his face as he knelt next to the pair. "Aww... look at the cute little kitty..."
Lloyd Irving, on the other hand, was extraordinarily easy to get mad at. The cat extricated a paw, unsheathed razor-sharp claws, and swung. The swordsman ducked back barely in time to avoid a scratch across the nose.
Colette put the cat down. "I'm really sorry about that, Kyo," she said mournfully, gathering up his abandoned clothing.
The cat scoffed. "Don't worry about it."
So she didn't, happily chatting with the young man turned feline by her side...
...until the inevitable happened, and he was left human again. Without clothes.
This time, she nearly rivaled Lloyd's garments in color.

Comments: I cracked up when the idea for this one turned up in my mind. (In case you're interested, it was being used in a game of foosball.) Really. Anyone familiar with these two fandoms will probably see the humor. Those who haven't? Well, it might still amuse you, but it will probably be missing something. I highly recommend going and fixing the gap in your knowledge. Now.
Plot bunny, available to good home! Kyo in Sylvarant! Can you imagine the confrontation with Zelos? ...yeah, neither can I. Same rules apply: let me know, and give me at least a tiny bit of credit. Cheers.
