Aki sighed as he looked at his test papers. The grades were perfect as always but his mind wasn't on that at all. He remembered the look his sister Sophie would get when she got 100 on her test after he studied with her all night. He missed his sister dearly...

Sophie looked down at her report card she had brought from Sunlit Valley. Straight A's, Instead of a smile growing across her face, she frowned, biting her lip. She thought about how proud Aki would be, if only she could find him. Shuro was no help, though. She was only interested in the scents of the town, and was on full alert for something to pop out of the bushes. Sophie sighed and stuffed the piece of paper into her pocket.

Kuro was on Aki's shoulder glancing down at the papers "You did a fine job Master. You didn't need me to whisper the answers from your school bag" he joked. Aki gave a weary smile "Didnt i do that once in Kindergarden? All the kids thought it was a helpfyul ghost.""
Kuro ducked his head "well i did sorta yell it out..." Kuros ears perked up "Master...theres another person coming. And whoever that is has anotheranimal that me. a servant that guards it's Master" said Kuro hurriedly.
Aki nodded and ducked behind a tree. He climbed nimbly up and waited in the shadows for them to pass

Sophie walked a little further forward, but stopped when Shiro froze, bristling her fur. "There is someone here." the small cat growled softly. "And they have an animal guardian, like me." Sophie looked down to her. "Are you going to have to change?" she whined.

Aki tensed "they've stopped....Kuro transform" he ordered
Kuro nodded and transformed. He thudded down to the ground because the tree would not take his weitgh

Shiro heard the thud and quickly transformed into a great white tiger. "I take that as a yes." she grumbled as a pair of cat ears and a tail appeared. She quickly buried her face in her hands to avoid being seen. Shiro swished her great tail, a snarl forming on her lips. "Come out and play." she taunted.

Kuroi padded out. He lowered his head and snarled. "If you mean to harm my Master i will tear you" he warned.
Aki winced as his ears and tail popped out. He stayed in the shadows. A large tiger huh? Seemed sort of young...Kuroi had been here ever since the world began. He patted on of his ears. His sister had never known what Kuroi and he had been.
Kuroi made sure his Master was safe and began to circle the tiger "Well? Will you and your Master pass peacefully?" he asked with an edge to his growl

Shiro growled again, stepping in front of Sophie. "We wished no harm at all. You're the one who changed first."
Sophie bit her lip. "Shiroi." she murmured. "Don't start anything. Their allowing us to pass, let's just go."

Kuroi sat down and looked at them cautiously. "They won't dare attack Master" he called out, "Wisely enough."
Aki sighed out and jumped out of the tree. He landed nimbly next to Kuroi a bit tallker than him...only a bit. "Wow...a tiger...how old?" he asked Kuroi
Kuroi studied Shioi with narrowed eyes "no more than 1000 id say. Still young" he laughed.
Aki shifted his eyes to the girl. The beasts Master. She looked awfully familiar...but he couldnt tell because her face was hidden in her hands

Sophie froze. The voice... Who's was it? She couldn't remember... She lifted her hands from her face. A smile spread across her face, but it immdeiatley fell. It was just her mind playing games... Again. The last time she had hugged a complete stranger. Another time where Shiroi came in.
Shiroi bristled her short fur. "I may be young, but I am awfully strong." Her voice had a playful tone, knowing that these two wouldn't be hostile.

Kuroi swung his head "Never as strong as me. Im pretty sure i once trained you" he laughed "I have trained every beast with a Master ever since i remeber. Still do but there's a lot less so im free" He swung his head to the girl whom his Master was looking at
Aki blinked several times. A girl with snow white hair and eyes as cute as those...Only his sister would smile like that...every time he came home from school she'd smile and show him her test papers. Aki smiled and scratched his head rather embaressed "Sorry for staring but you look an awful lot like my sister"

Shiroi shrugged. "I don't have the best memory in the world." She replied with a laugh. She glanced up at her Master, who looked like she was about to cry.
Sophie's eyes watered up. She raced forward and gave him a hug. "Aki." she murmured, burying her face in his shirt.

Aki was surprised...she was his sister! He hugged her back "Sophie!? Did you get taller? And wtf up with the tiger? Then again i shouldnt talke i have Kuroi..."
Kuroi had almost tackled the girl when she launched herself at his Master. He relaxed when he caught her scent. She smelled like Aki a bit...but softer and more femenine.
((Just about time for Jonahs entarnce xD))

Sophie looked up and rubbed her eyes with both hands. "I may have gotten taller, but you will always be taller." She stood on her toes to give him a friendly peck on the cheek.
Jonah carefully carried his batch of cookies, following Aki's scent. He had distracted Tony by pushing him into a puddle. The boy had left to go change, since he was muddy. He quickly found him, but dropped the cookies onto the dirt, his mouth falling open. There was Aki... The Akie he loved... Being hugged and kissed by a girl...
Shiroi purred in happiness. "Sophie, now you won't have to miss him."

Kuroi yawned "we should change back Shiroi, it wont be safe for anyon to see us" he changed back to the tiny black kitten.
Aki hugged his sister again and kissed her head. "Funny how that happens since we're both the same age." his thoughts went to Jonah "Hey why dont you stay at my apartment? Theres a friend i want you to meet" he said smiling at her.
