THE LOST BOY
Chapter Three
WHEN SHION FIRST DECIDED TO BECOME A NINJA, SHE THOUGHT HER MISSIONS would be protecting the innocent or escorting royalty. Her overwhelming ambition for the subject had caused her to study every night under a small light with only her blanket to cover up her actions from the other girls. Lights out at seven they said.
"Point B secure, over," Shion said in the mic, feeling her hand scrape against the tree bark. This is not exactly what I pictured.
"You guys are taking this way too seriously, over," Misaki commented.
"I hate cats, why do I have to be point A, over?" Hikaru asked and Shion let out a large sigh before she caught sight of a small black cat's tail, peeking out over the bushes. She grinned, jumping to the ground in a roll.
"Nailed it," she commented as she grabbed the cat that hissed in her direction before snuggling into her arms. "I got the cat, over."
"Is it the right cat this time, over?" Misaki asked and Shion lifted the cat so it faced her.
"I don't know, yes? He has a ribbon, over," Shion said and she felt Hikaru jump down from a tree and walked up next to her, holding up the picture of Tora before letting out a large groan.
"It isn't her!" Hikaru complained, and Shion held the cat closer to her chest.
"Well I'm keeping him," she said.
"What's going on, over?" Misaki asked through the headset.
"Shion found the wrong cat," Hikaru said, watching Shion's eyes narrow, causing him to sigh. "Over."
"AGAIN," Misaki exclaimed.
"Well, it could be worse," Hikaru commented with a sigh. "At least the mangy rodent is far away from me-" In that moment, a cat with claws extended jumped on Hikaru's back, climbing up, raking her claws through his shirt and his skin. Hikaru let out a rather feminine sounding scream as he attempted to toss the cat off of him, but that only succeeded in making the animal's grip strengthen.
In the mean time, Shion grabbed the picture that he dropped off of the forest floor with a nonchalant whistle.
"Good job, Hikaru, you found Tora," Shion said as Hikaru started to cry and sneeze at the same time.
"Get her off! Shion I'm allergic to cats! Shion!" Hikaru shouted, slightly scaring the black cat that still rested in Shion's arms.
"Calm down, Hikaru, you're scaring Mochi," Shion cooed, petting the cat in her arms who had begun to purr.
The sound of Mochi's purring was blocked out by Hikaru's cries.
