After showing the visiting Soul Reapers our school, I began to go back to the band room. We were halfway down the 100 foot long locker hall when I had a sudden urge to look at my hands but I was determined to keep my hands where they were - clasped at the wrist behind my back.
I felt Toshiro's icy, turquoise glare on my hands.
"Umm," Kisuke ventured.
"Yes Kisuke," I answered assuming he had a question about the school.
"Are your hands supposed to do that?" the blonde Soul Reaper inquired. (He had been forced to remove his hat when a passing teacher scolded him for breaking the rules.)
"What?" I exclaimed jerking my hands to my front so I could see them. My nail had grown to points and resembled claws.
"That," Toshiro stated as cold as ever.
"No! No, no, no, no, no! Not here! Not now!" I exclaimed frantically.
"Is this that 'change' thing Yumichika was telling us about?" Kisuke asked interested.
"Yes!" I answered just before collapsing to the floor from the intense pain throughout my body.
"You have to get me out of here! The humans can't see me like this-" I was cut off by another spasm of pain.
"I understand," Toshiro stated looking down at me for the first time since we'd met.
I blinked and he was in a black set of robe-looking things with a long white vest thingy with strange markings on the back that was just barley shorter than the black part of the uniform.
"Please hurry," I said through gritted teeth.
"Urahara! Get Kira out of here now! Go into the woods, we'll find you! Now go!" Toshiro ordered, it seemed he was used to giving orders. Maybe he was of high rank among the Soul Reapers.
Kisuke scooped me up and it seemed in an instant we were in the woods outside of town about a mile from the school.
As I was laid down in a pile of leaves the 'change' over came my body. I involuntarily let out an awful scream before loosing consciousness.
I woke, Kisuke was leaned up against a tree asleep. I went to poke him to wake him up but pulled back my hand after noticing the claws that replaced my fingernails. I shook his shoulder with the whole of my hand to wake him.
His eyes fluttered into awareness.
"What time is it?" I asked the blonde haired Soul Reaper.
He looked down at the watch on his wrist.
"3:02, they should be here soon," Kisuke said drowsily.
"Who's coming?" I inquired.
"Let's see, Captain Hitsugaya, Captain Kuchiki, Rangiku, Ichigo, Rukia, and Yumichika. Those are the one's I know of anyways," Kisuke halfway thought out loud.
"Kisuke," I ventured after a short silence.
"Yes?" he answered willing me to continue.
"Do you think you could tell me what I look like?" I asked.
"Your hair is waist length and black, you have black cat ears and tail, your eyes are amber, and your teeth resemble a cat's," he replied easily.
I swung my tail to the front to view it. It was sleek black kitten soft fur.
I later ventured off into the forest and broke into a run. As a result I wasn't paying attention the where I was going and collided head on with one of the ancient pine trees that covered the land near my small town.
CRACK!
The tree cracked and began to splinter in half at my head height.
CRASH!
The hug pine collided with the forest floor frightening every bird in the vicinity, and sending them flying.
"Whoops," I said, as I turned around and began to walk back to the small clearing where Kisuke waited.
"What was that noise?" Kisuke asked when I came into view.
"I knida accidentally broke a tree," I stated.
"How?" was his only reply.
"I ran into it," I answered and I sat down in front of him.
