Sakura's POV

"Honey, are you alright? and how did you get in the hospital?!" My so called 'Mom' sad as she sat next to my bed.
"Well," I began. "I kind of fainted when somebody tried to kidnap me when I was going to the store, but then my friend Yuma came and brought me here."
My 'Mom' hugged me. "I'm just glad that you're alright," She said as she glanced at her watch. "I'll come and visit you tomorrow, but I have to go to work now." She said as she kissed my forehead and walked out the door. When I was sure she was gone, I knocked on the side of my bed. "Alright guys, the coast is clear." I whispered as Yuma crawled out from underneath my bed. "Yuma, you should get to school, don't worry about me." I said as I looked out of my window and stared at Heartland Academy. "Saki, it's a Saturday, school's closed." Yuma said. "Oh," I said as I stared out of my window. "So, when did you guys meet, anyway?" I asked. "Well, we met when I was dueling against Shark, by the way, you don't know how to duel, do you?" Yuma asked. "I know how to duel, I just always lose." I said as picked my hair up into a ponytail. Then, I felt sensed something strange. "Yuma, turn the T.V. on." I said as the news popped up on the T.V., there was a report on a car crash that was near my Mom's work, then they showed the identity of the person that was killed in the crash, I started to cry into my hands.
It was my Mom.
"Wait, that's your Mom!" Yuma said as he looked at the screen. "I'm sorry, Saki."
I kept on crying, then I felt somebody hugging me, when I looked up, I saw Astral. "Saki," Yuma said as he turned the T.V. off. "Would you like to stay at my house?" "Are you sure that it's going to be alright if I stay?" I asked as I wiped my tears away. "Sure, plus we can go to school together." Yuma said. "Alright then," I said as I got out of my bed and walked towards the door. "Oh, and Yuma, can you tell me about your adventures on the way home? I would really like to learn about your accomplishments." I said as I smiled at him as we walked out of the hospital.
*At Yuma's house...*
"DINNER!" Yuma said as he dashed toward the Dinner table. "I'm going to eat all the rice bal-OW, KARI!" "Yuma wait until everyone's at the table to start eating, by the way, where's your girlfriend?" Kari asked as she sat down next to Yuma. "Sorry I'm late for dinner," I said as I sat next to Yuma. "This looks delicious." "I know right? And know that everyone's here, LET'S DIG IN!" Yuma exclaimed as he snatched a bunch of rice balls and stuffed his mouth with them. I mostly ate fish, but I took a bite of one of the rice balls, and it tasted so good, no wonder why Yuma likes them so much! /Sakura, the rice balls taste good, don't they?/ Astral said as he floated above my head. "Yeah, but have you tried the fish? It's amazing." I said as I ate my fish.
*Later...*
"Man, that dinner was good, wasn't it?" I said as I fell on my bed.
"Yeah, grandma always makes the best food." Yuma said.
"By the way, do you know who Vector is?" I asked Astral. Astral shook his head. /Why?/
"I'll tell you tomorrow," I said as I pulled the blanket over my head. "Night, guys."
*The next day...*
"We're late, you really have to wake up earlier than that, you baka." I said, still in my bed.
"WE'RE LATE?! AW MAN, WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP SOONER?!" Yuma said as he jumped out of his hammock.
Then, I started laughing like crazy. "I couldn't believe that you actually fell for it!" I laughed.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT IT WAS SUND-" Yuma paused in mid sentence a he looked at me.
"Why are you staring at me like that Yuma?" I asked as he started to laugh. "Nice cat ears!" He laughed. I put my hand on top of my head, and I felt something on top of my head, and when I looked into the mirror, there was a pair of white cat ears that were poking out of my stark-white hair.
"Yuma, did you do this?" I asked.
"No, I was in my room all night long, and ask Astral, he'll tell you the same thing," Yuma said. "It must have been Cathy, she's the only girl that sneaks into my house most of the time." Then I saw one of the ears twitch, I was almost about to faint. "Yuma," I said as I looked at him. "These aren't fake, I just saw one twitch." Yuma looked at me, then, I started to feel strange, and then I blacked out. When I woke up, the first thing that I saw when I woke up, I was being carried by a young man with fair skin, light blue hair, that was styled in a Mohawk, and golden eyes. He was wearing a uniform that looked like Yuma's, but his was in blue. "Sakura, are you feeling alright?" He asked me as he placed me on the couch in Yuma's front room. "Astral, is that you?" I asked as the young man smiled at me. "Why are you a human? and why are you so tall?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes. But, when I looked at my hands, they weren't hands, they were paws. "Astral, WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?!" I exclaimed as I looked at myself, I had stark-white fur, a long tail, and white paws. "I'M A CAT?!"
