So I'm back and on time (huge achievement for me, I know)! Here is the second drabble (kudos on those who realize what I did to the chapter title) and it takes place a little before the first drabble.
Btw, I'm going to be using some Norwegian words to make the world more foreign. So I wrote down the ones that are used in this chapter. And be aware that some more will pop out in later chapters so this is not just a one time thing.
Penger= money
Urt= herb
Drabble #2: Cat-astrophe
They were about to reach the desert and it was showing. It was already so much hotter. So they were stocking up on supplies as there weren't many towns in it. Actually from what Allen had heard, it didn't have any towns. Not that it worried him to much; he couldn't die unless the very thing keeping here was destroyed and he didn't plan on that happening anytime soon.
Kanda wouldn't die from just a desert, he was a demon and a powerful one at that. Plus, they had extra food so he wouldn't die of hunger unless they got lost…
No, the reason they were stopping was for the new addition of their group, Lenalee. She apparently needed supplies. In fact she had stated, "I am a witch and as a witch I need supplies" she hadn't indulged in giving them anymore than that.
Of course, Kanda was suspicious but that was Kanda in a nut shell. Forever suspicious.
"So do you need any Penger?" Allen asked.
"Um, no. I brought some with me." Lenalee responded, taking out a big wad causing Allen's eyes to widen.
"That's a lot, don't you think?"
"Yeah, but my brother wouldn't let me leave without it." Her eyes seemed to brighten at the thought of her brother. "Well, I'll see you guys later." She walked towards the town and soon Allen lost her in the surprisingly big crowd.
Allen turned to glance at Kanda who was leaning against an empty building with his eyes closed but Allen knew better than to think he was sleeping.
He sighed, there wasn't anything he could do but wait for the girl to come back with supplies. Except... maybe he could spend a little bit of penger to satisfy his himself since he wouldn't be having the luxury of eating during their trip in the desert.
Meanwhile, Lenalee was having the time of her life. The town had everything she needed which was a little weird but she quickly dismissed it when she saw a rare type of herb.
An Urt.
They could amplify a spell or potion by a lot. She quickly went over to the store that had it on display.
"Excuse me but how much does the Urt cost?" She asked the owner of the store, pointing to the plant.
"The Urt?" At her nod, he continued, "fifty Penger."
Lenalee considered it, fifty was a rather big sum but she had more than enough and who knew when she would get another chance to get one. She decided to get one.
When the man put out his hand she dropped the wanted amount in his hand and on her way out grabbed the rare plant.
If people had stopped to see her face they would have been afraid for their lives, but as usual, everyone was too preoccupied to see past their own two hands.
"Ah, what should I do…? Should I keep it for later or just use a little bit? Hm…" Lenalee muttered to herself looking at the herb all while still walking forward. "You know what? I'm going to have some fun tonight!"
With that settled, she took out her staff from her magickied bag and got ready to stir up some trouble… well, as soon as she got out of this troublesome crowd. After all, she didn't want innocent bystanders thinking she had just cursed them.
"You know, Kanda, you should get something other than Soba I know it taste good but try new stuff."
Lenalee looked around wildly searching for the owner of that voice. She was almost certain that it was Allen's and if it was, that meant they were eating something. Which meant bingo for her!
She saw a flash of white and instantly she narrowed down on it. "It" was Allen and he was eating and so was Kanda. The girl couldn't help but smirk and think it was her lucky day. She ducked her head that way if they suddenly decided to look around they wouldn't recognize her.
She quickly rushed into the nearest store and asked where the restrooms were. The lady pointed to the sign that indicated where they were and Lenalee flushed with embarrassment. She could have just looked around and seen them herself.
Once she had gone in, she laid out all the material she would need to use to make the liquid and got started with a cheshire cat grin.
Allen was eating more food than he normally was as he didn't want to ever forget the sweet, sweet taste of food. While it wasn't necessary, he liked to spoil himself with food. It had been one of the pleasures he hadn't had much of when he was a child, or rather, when he was alive.
Kanda just sat there tersely barely saying anything except to comment on how "disgusting" Allen's eating habits were, and "it made him want to vomit". Though Allen wasn't actually all that sure if demons could vomit. He knew he couldn't.
He was so concentrated on eating that he didn't notice Lenalee walk up to their table till she knocked on it.
"Hey can I join you guys?"
Seeing Allen was in the middle of eating, Kanda scooted to the side to make space for her. In response Lenalee sat down, beaming like the sun itself.
"Oo~ What are you eating?" She leaned close to him peering down at the bowl half filled with noddles.
Kanda looked at her for a second before replying, "soba."
So that was what Allen had been talking about. "Oh, I've never tried it before."
Kanda slid the bowl over that way she could try some. She did and after a moment or so her face crunched up. "Ugh. How can you eat that?"
"It's an acquired taste."
"Ah. I see." She could accept that.
"You want to try some of this?" Allen asked, drawing their attention away from the bowl. Lenalee nodded and she leaned over the table to eat the dango he had offered.
Once she was done chewing, she titled her head and said, "Hm, not bad."
"Not bad!" Allen yelled, appalled. "They're the absolute best!"
At this Kanda snorted and Allen turned towards him.
Lenalee sighed, she sensed another fight coming soon.
Allen awoke to pounding headache and a blurry face looking at him. Though it was strange, the face was a lot bigger than normal, like way bigger. Slowly, after a lot of concentration from him, the face came into focus and he realized it was Lenalee. It was weird she seemed to be coo-ing…at him.
He opened his mouth and stopped midway, his mouth felt… not human, not that he was human to begin with but he just didn't feel right. He continued anyway but after hearing the sound he froze in horror while Lenalee squealed.
He had just meowed! What the hell was wrong with him?
Wait, if he had meowed, then did that mean… he looked down…that he was a cat!
Just what was going on? The only person who could have done this was either a witch or wizard, but the newest recruit wouldn't have done this, right? Allen looked back up at her and he finally heard what she saying.
"…knew he'd be cute. But boy is he cute! I should have thought of this sooner. Though he's still translucent…"
Allen mentally gasped.
Horrified, he walked… or he tried to (keyword: tried). Walking on four legs was surprisingly hard and the tail that he normally didn't have, didn't help either. He would twitch it to the side and next thing he knew he was lying on the ground with a sore side. It was not fun.
Lenalee however was having the most fun she had ever had before. She couldn't stop laughing, if this continued, her cheeks would hurt.
Finally, after what seemed like a hundred falls to him, he reached the witch and was about to claw her only for him to stop at the last moment. He was a gentleman and he could not go around clawing people as much he wanted too. Even if they transformed into a cat.
Now, that led him to another problem, was this change temporary or permanent?
Lenalee read his mind, "It only last a day, so don't worry your cute little paws about it. I should probably check on Kanda now."
At that, Allen's ears twitched. Kanda was also transformed? Well, he had to see that. He tried his new smaller eyes on the girl who couldn't resist him. (Who could? He was a freaking cat!)
She held out her hands and he walked into them only to squirm. It was uncomfortable being in someone's arm and looking down made him nauseous. Ah, well, it was to see Kanda stumble around…
Kanda's cobalt eyes flashed opened once he felt the vibrations of the witch's steps and being alive on this world for more than the usual helped him figure out what exactly had happen. So when she came to check on him, he pretended to still be sleeping.
"Oh, he's still… wait. Never mind." She changed her mind, "he's awake."
Kanda opened his eyes slowly and feigned shock. Allen smirked but it soon vanished.
The now midnight blue cat took his "first steps". And didn't stumble once. The white haired cat scowled, that cheater!
The demon looked at Allen and smirked, or at least tried to, apparently cat muscles weren't exactly the same.
In response, Allen hissed and his fur raised which, in turn, caused Lenalee to giggle.
"Meorrw!" The cat shrieked as his balance was lost in the shaking of Lenalee. Fortunately for him, cats happen to have good balance so he landed on his feet. Kanda, in all this chaos, was calmly licking his paw. That was, until Allen launched at him with all his furry might.
"This… this is the absolute best." Lenalee said hoarsely from laughing to hard.
Hopefully this made you laugh at least a little and there will most likely be a second part to it, so if there's anything you want to see just leave a review or PM me.
