Hiromi's Story

Savannah walked along the crowded sidewalk. Her destination: the icrecream parlor. She wiped some sweat from her brow as she waited to cross the street. Suddenly, she felt something fuzzy bump into her leg, followed by a meow.

"Hm?" She looked down to see three cats by her ankle.
"Don't you think it's too hot to be wearing that?" She giggled softly as she bent down to touch the smallest cat's scarf.

The small white cat reared back and flashed Savannah a warning glance, and Savannah's friendly expression disappeared.
"Ok then," The girl scoffed before standing back up and crossing the street.

For some strange reason the three cats followed, but turned in the opposite direction once they made it to the other side of the street. Savannah shrugged it off and entered the ice-cream parlor. Much to her dismay, the line at the register was incredibly long. The blonde girl sighed, blowing some hair out of her face as she waited with her arms crossed.

"Next time don't bump into it," Cocoa scolded.

"I didn't mean to!" Alaska whined.
She looked down at her paws guiltily.

Hiromi rolled her eyes.
"Ok guys we made it back to the park."
The old shecat leapt onto a bench and yawned as she lay down.

"So Hiromi, have you sensed anymore cursed humans yet?" Cocoa asked.
He began sharpening his claws on a rock.

Hiromi narrowed her green eyes and scanned the area.
"Not yet."

Alaska giggled as she played with Cocoa's tail.

Angel

Angel had been in a rush all morning and all it caused him to do was break things. Today he had broken a plate, a vase, 2 glasses, a bowl, and a cat statue. The old man who had the statue near one of the old temples says that he would be cursed by the cat deities, and we would have to help a hundred cats. When Angel had arrived at the park he sighed, it was not a good day and he was very superstitious about these things. He began to look around nervously. "I didn't mean to break that statue it was an accident."

Yin

Yin was asleep up in the tree in the park. He was snoozing away when he heard voices.

"Next time don't bump into it," Cocoa scolded.

"I didn't mean to!" Alaska whined.
She looked down at her paws guiltily.

Hiromi rolled her eyes.
"Ok guys we made it back to the park."
The old shecat leapt onto a bench and yawned as she lay down.

"So Hiromi, have you sensed anymore cursed humans yet?" Cocoa asked.
He began sharpening his claws on a rock.

Hiromi narrowed her green eyes and scanned the area.
"Not yet."

Yin opened one of his bright green eyes. "Do all of you have to be so loud?" He yawned as he slink down the tree. Licking his paw and drawing it over his face, once he was firmly on the ground. His tail swished back and forth in a casual motion. He then heard Angel on the other side of the trail and purred slightly.

The three cats stopped conversing once another voice chimed in.

"Well we are outside," Cocoa retorted. "Maybe you should try sleeping somewhere less...Oh, I don't know. Public?"

Alaska's ears flattened against her head. She didn't like confrontation. The small white shecat hid beneath the bench Hiromi was ontop of.

The large calico shecat drew her attention to the boy Yin was staring at.
"There's one," She muttered.

Cocoa looked over at Angel as well and smirked.
"Maybe we can mess with him!"

"Aaw, let's not be mean," Alaska mewed quietly.

"Come on, it'll be fun!" Cocoa snickered as he made his way over to the human.

Hiromi sighed and jumped off the bench, following closely behind Cocoa.

Alaska remained where she was.

Savannah let out a sigh of relief as it was finally her turn to order. She payed for her cookie-dough icecream and left the shop to go eat it at her favorite spot at the park.

Yin

Yin chuckled a bit. "Its quiet here most of the time." He then watched everyone except for Alaska who were going over to the boy. Walking up to Alaska he sat a few feet away from her. "So are you going to help or watch?" He asked calmly.

Angel

Angel was sitting on the bench his mind in a swirl of thoughts going a million miles an hour. "Oh!" He covered his eyes in frustration. "What am I going to do?!" He asked himself loudly.

Alaska looked warily over at Yin.
"I think I'm just gonna stay here and watch for now," She murmured.
"Um...I'm Alaska. What's your name?"

Cocoa sat by Angel's feet and looked up at him, letting out an innocent meow.
He wouldn't speak human. Not yet.

Hiromi stayed behind Cocoa. She wouldn't ruin his fun immediately. The calico shecat looked over her shoulder to check up on Alaska, who seemed to be having a conversation with the black cat they confronted earlier.

Alaska shuddered a bit. She could never live in a place surrounded by so many cars and people. Her ears perked up as Yin returned the question.
"Oh, well...Hiromi, the calico cat, lives in this park as well. She usually sleeps in the bushes surrounding the gazebo. Cocoa, the brown tom with a short temper, lives in an alleyway nearby. And I live in a house with my human, but spend most of my time outside."

Now that she got a good look at him, the boy looked quite pale all of a sudden. She ignored it and brought her attention back to her icecream for a while, but couldn't help but feel inclined to make sure he was okay.
"Are you feeling alright? You look a bit...under the weather."

Cocoa watched the boy with an amused grin on his maw.

Hiromi sighed and waited for Savannah to leave before making herself known.

"Really?" Alaska cocked her head to the side curiously. "Same with Cocoa! ...Where are your humans?"

"Alright," Savannah shrugged. She leaned back in the bench as she finished the rest of her icecream.
'No sense in sticking your nose into someone else's business.'

Cocoa glanced at Hiromi who was still hiding behind the bench.
"Hey, why don't you come out here and introduce yourself?"

Hiromi flicked her tail angrily and crawled out where she could be seen, but said nothing.

Savannah looked down at the two cats with an unamused look on her face.
"Yeesh, this town is filled with strays, isn't it?"

"Easier said than done," Savannah shrugged. "Cats can be kind of annoying."

"Yeah? Well so can be humans," Cocoa hissed at the blonde girl.

Savannah finished the last bit of her icecream cone and pointed to the brown cat.
"I rest my case."

Hiromi finally batted Cocoa on the head with her paw.
"Would you stop talking? You're probably making it very hard for the poor boy," She whispered.

Cocoa simply chuckled. "Alright, alright."

"Oh," Alaska looked down at her paws sadly. "I'm sorry..."
'I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost my human!'

Savannah grunted as she got herself off the bench, her stomach now full. She stretched her back and a bit and glanced at the strange boy beside her.
"Well, nice chatting with you. See you 'round."
She gave him a curt wave before leaving in the direction of the beach.

"Finally," Cocoa sneered as the girl left.
He smirked at Angel with a mischevious gleam in his amber eyes.
