After the horrific practice Echizen went home, though the drink may not have tasted disgusting in the slightest bit, running around court is never a fun thing to do. As soon as Echizen went home he was greeted by his father who, unsuprisingly was lying lazily reading his "newspaper" again. Which caused him to get nagged on again, Ryoma sighs and thinks to himself why is everything always the same, it seems like nothing ever changes around here... little did he know what was about to happen that very next morning. 

After Echizen had complained about life and his very existence, he started to make his homework of the day which only consisted of English. He wondered why he even bothered to make it since it wouldn't improve his English at all since he's already fluent, not only that but he often finds himself correcting the teacher on their grammar and pronounciation. After doing his homework in a mere 10 minutes he took a quick shower, ate dinner and last but certainly not least, he went to bed. Ryoma wasn't sure if he had ever felt this tired in his entire life, this caused him to doze of immediatly after climbing in his bed. Not knowing what the next day or maybe the rest of his life had in store for him

Ryoma Echizen POV (point of view):

I woke up with the feeling of being suffocated, I tried to breathe but I wasn't able, I felt like someone was choking me. Soon after being abrubtly awaken by this I discovered it wasn't someone trying to choke me but rather it was my dear cat; Karupin. I tried turning around to fall asleep again but it was no use. So I decided to do something I don't often do; get out of bed early.

I stood up and streched for a while, I let out a big yawn and decided to go to the bathroom. I started off my morning by brushing my teeth because I hated my morning breath. While brushing my teeth I noticed something strange, a kind of poster hanging above the sink, I rolled my eyes, figuring it was dad trying to be funny again. Then I realized that the poster kind of looks like me, I reached for it to get it off the wall but then the poster seemed to reach for me too. Then it hit me; there's usually a mirror on that wall, on that exact spot. 

But if this is a mirror, then that reflection I see over there... must be me? But that can't be, the boy on the poster had cat ears sticking out of his head, 2 green ones, matching the color of his hair. And last time I checked I did not have cat ears. I put my hand up and moved it towards my head and then I felt it; something fluffy. I was shook. There were actually ears growing out of my head. Had I not be calm and composed by nature, I'd probably be screaming right now. 

I wondered if any other strange changes had taken place, and then I noticed it. Funny how I did not notice it before since there is a freaking tail growing out of my lower region just above my butt. I screamed internally. For a second I wondered if someone put these on me as a joke, but then it turned out I could control my new parts as normal parts of my body. What the heck is happening to me.

Then I realized. INUI. That monster did this to me. No side-effects my a**. Your stupid drink has turned me into some kind of half-cat, half-human hybrid. A neko if you must. I was pissed, Inui was gonna fix this like his life depended on it. Scrap the "like".

The next thingt that hit me was: How am I going to hide this? I'll become the laughing stock of the school or worse; people might think I'm cute. That can not happen under any circumstances.

I decided that I'd be probably be best to put my tail in my pants and hide my ears under my cap. Hoping I can keep it on after tennis, praying that it wouldn't violate the dress-code. Well we'll see then what happens, I'll just have to heck it for now.

After arranging my new "parts", I went downstairs to eat my japanese breakfast, with a smile. Hold up why am I smiling? Is this another one of those stupid side-effects? Oh Inui is so going to get it. He will fix this. He must fix this. I quickly put on my daily resting b*tch-face again hoping that no one had seen me smile. Inui will fix this or I might just have to murder him..

After breakfast I got my bag ready and went outside where I stood for about 5 minutes waiting for Momo-senpai to pick me up. Momo-senpai arrived at my house and said: "You're early today Echizen, are you sure you're okay? And why are you already wearing your cap, you usually only wear it when you're tennesing? This is not like you? I convinced Momo-senpai I was perfectly fine and that I just felt like wearing my hat today to which he responded: "You know Echizen, you're really weird sometimes.. but I guess that's what I like about you" He patted my head in a loving matter and I let out a small purr.

Momo-senpai's POV:

"Ok this is starting to get weird, I swear I just heard Echizen purring. I chuckled, that can't be, purring is something that cats do, and even though Echizen is very much like a cat, the similarity does not go to that extent.  I thought to myself."

I decided to just forget about it and go to school since Echizen was actually early this morning and that does not happen very often. Ryoma sat himself at the back of my bike and I started cycling..

My imagination is a weird place, I jokingly said to myself.
