Ó Chapter #1 Î

...........She stared around her, blinking. She was in a forest; an odd girl… or creature leaned over her. She looked like a human but she had cat ears… Cat ears! She thought sitting up abruptly, her back was against a tree. “Who…what… what are you!?” Kait stammered.

“What am I?” The girl retorted. “I am Alexia. I am a Zycho. Apparently so are you. Does that answer your questions?” Alexia glared, her blue eyes turning green.

“I’m a… Z…Zy… what’s-it?” Kait stammered again, trying to get to her feet, but became dizzy and sat back down.

“Zy-cho.” Alexia repeated, slowly this time.

As Kait’s dizziness started to vanish, she noticed the girl was wearing a white and purple ciancho, it was a light purple almost a lilac.

Alexia handed Kait a small mirror type item. Looking in it she noticed she too was wearing a ciancho, how she got it, she knew not, it was different. Hers was black and red; the part that was normally white was red. Next, she noticed a broadsword strapped across her back, and then… her once green eyes were now light brown and… brown animal ears. “What the…” She gasped, all went black and she fainted again.

Kait woke again and found herself in a small room of a house, she sat up abruptly in the straw bed, and then she felt the top of her head, and to her distress found two furry animal ears, they really were there.

“You’re not from here, are you?” Alexia asked walking into the small room, holding two bowls of soup. Her eyes had returned to blue. “Because you don’t wake up a Zycho- it’s not poison.” She smiled as Kait hesitated to eat. Kait shrugged

I’m already with an odd… Zycho thing, in a place I have no clue where, what could be worse, she thought eating a spoonful. “This is great!” Kait exclaimed.

“Thanks, its Rosehip soup.” Alexia smiled, pleased. “Oh! By-the-way, what's your name?” She asked.

“Oh… It’s Kait.” She mumbled finishing her soup.

“Well, Hi Kait. My name is Alexia, like I said before. I’m a cat Zycho; you’re in the lands of Zenear.” Alexia smiled taking to bowls to the main room to be washed later. Kait followed her, “what kind of Zycho am I?” Kait asked, just to make sure and stepped outside.

“Dog.” She heard Alexia say.

Kait sat down on a rock near the house. She, Alexia, lived in the forest; the house was made of stone, the roof of wood. “It’s a cute little house.” She whispered.

“And you’re an odd little Zycho.” She heard someone snarl. Swirling around with a squeaked she found two boys behind her; one was a black haired wolf Zycho, the other, a dark brown haired human, the one who had spoken. He had his sword pointed at her throat, only three inches away… she screamed.

“Kiba, sheath your sword, now!” She heard Alexia yell. “She’s scared enough, as-is. I hope you’re not here to scare off my guest.”

“We would never, you know how Kiba is. He likes to scare people.” The black haired boy smiled innocently. He carried a quiver of arrows and a strung bow on his shoulder. At least he didn’t put a sword to my throat. She gulped.

He also wore a ciancho it was black and blue. The normally white part was light blue. His friend, Kiba wore the same except instead of light blue, it was hunter green.

“Oh shut-it.” Alexia snapped, blue eyes turning dark green, of annoyance. Kiba sheathed his sword; it was a normal sized sword, a katana, or Japanese styled sword.

“I give up on you two. If you don’t start behaving, you’ll make me really mad.” She smiled wickedly.

“I don’t think we want that.” Kiba said.

"Come in, you too Kait.” She sighed, heading into the house.

“Kait this is Elric,” Alexia introduced him, the black haired boy. “And this is Kiba.” The sword guy, Kait glared at him. “Kiba, Elric, this is Kait, she… just arrived in Zenear. There was a loud crashing sound then she appeared in the forest.” Kiba and Elric exchanged looks with one another.

“What’s the matter?” Alexia asked.

“When did you find her in the forest? Three days ago, right, when the Big Crash happened?”

“I was out for three days!?” Kait gasped, sinking into her chair at the table, where everyone sat at, they didn’t seem to have couches in this world. Alexia nodded and Elric and Kiba exchanged the uncertain look again. “Would someone please explain what that look is for.” Alexia hissed.

“Three days ago someone else appeared. We know him Alexia, Yuki, remember.” Elric said.
