Bright flowers nodded around Ichigo as she weaved, slender as a pine martin, through the grass. She sneezed as pollen dusted her soft muzzle. Then, relishing the sun on her back, she lifted her fore paws and peered over the curving stems. I am starting to enjoy being a cat, she thought. Wide-eyed, she gazed at the broad green pasture and breathed the soft scent of the shimmering grass.
A huge gray mare ambled past, it's wide hooves thumping the earth and tearing trails through the grass. The tiny, black cat scooted backward and sheltered beneath the lush, green leaves of a dock. Butterflies whirled up as the horse sauntered away. Her necklace jingled as she scampered and leaped after them, swiping the air, as they jerked on the breeze and scattered as if windblown petals into the blue sky. I wish life was calm like this all the time, she sighed in her mind.
The air was heavy with spring scents and, as the cat tasted the breeze, she caught an all to familiar scent. Nostrils flaring, she followed the smell, tail down, ears flat. She tracked him through dark green cover and around a clump of bobbing white flowers before catching sight of a tiny, grey flicker of movement.
Ryou!
Her eyes slitted, she squatted down ready to pounce. Wriggling her hindquarters, she bunched her muscles and sprang, landing right next to him.
"Whoa!" He jumped and it was pretty obvious that he hadn't realized she was there. What Ichigo didn't understand was why he was there in the first place, or in his cat-form. He gave her an unexpected glare an whispered "Time's up,"
Swooo!!!!
He stood looming over her, and she mewed "Get away from me, you creep!" And pounced away.
"Don't you want me to change you back?" He coaxed. She looked back.
"I have Masaya for that, thanks," she hissed back.
She could've sworn she heard a low growl rise in his throat.
"A-are you...." ....jealous? She said the rest in her head, knowing how stupid she would've sounded.
" Yes, Strawberry?" He ventured.
N-nothing!" She bristled. She darted away, this time not looking back. Anger, and something else -- something she didn't understand -- bubbling up inside her.
