Kale Gateland

Kale was just one of your normal teenagers but was never really much of a cat person, one day out of no where he suddenly finds himself in a world where everyone around him has cat like features. Kale has pale blond hair and light baby blue eyes. His personality is a bit quiet and shy although he can fend for himself when need to be. Kale has a disability which is he couldn’t speak and can only communicate through pointing or another ways of communicating.

Chapter One:

The World Of Cats

All Kale remembered was being told off by his mother to go to sleep and turning the lamp light off.

When he reopened his eyes however, Kale was pretty surprised to see that he was no longer in his bed room but was in a field filled with pink flowers and cherry blossom trees that circulated the whole area. The sun was strangely orange and was not the usual bright yellow that he was use too.

Kale was lost in thought, he was shocked that the boy didn’t actually believe it when he closed his eyes and reopened them.

He wondered where he was and how this could’ve happened; yesterday he was just living an ordinary life by coming home from school and enjoying some video games with his older brother, Darren. After he got beaten by his brother in a videogame, he went shopping with his mother for some new shoes.

And after that he went out with his friends Marie Newbar and Susan Wittle before coming home late at twelve am.

He was relieved when he saw a town nearby and immediately headed that direction, it was strange wondering through the field of pink flowers. It seemed beautiful yet strange and peculiar; he didn’t remember a place like this in his home town. He wondered over and over how he could’ve gotten here in the first place and not only that Kale just realised that he was still in his pyjamas.

His light purple pyjamas

Kale was just relieved that he wasn’t wearing his night cap or that really would be a sight to see.

Once the blue eyed boy got to the town that was nearby, he came across a giant sign that was written in a language he wasn’t even aware off, it looked like it was Latin but then Kale wasn't sure. He wondered if this was another country but then again how could it be? Last night he was just enjoying the luxuries of his own home, in the comfort of his own bed. Kale doesn't remember being caught or kidnapped then suddenly dumped in a field in one night.

That just didn’t make any sense…

Why would someone want to kidnap him anyways?

Kale thought he wasn’t anyone special, he wasn’t hot, sexy or cool, the blond wasn’t even popular. The boys in his class were even calling him dull and plain, making fun of his looks and face. Marie and Susan told him countless of times that he wasn’t plain but actually quite cute and adorable although Kale never believed them, he never did.

Kale was even bullied because of not being able to speak. It wasn’t his fault that he was born with such a disability. Kale never really thought about it till the question came up.

Kale shock those thoughts out of his head, now was not the time to think on such trivial matters. It was time for him to move on and figure out what in the world was going on and fast before he loses his mind!

The blond took a big gulp of air and courage before venturing into the town that was unknown to him but once he entered however...

There was something oddly peculiar came to his attention. Once Kale wondered down the many countless of streets and alleyways that made this place an endless maze. Everyone around him had cat ears and cat tails, the adults, the elderly, even the children and infants that ran about the streets.

Just his luck…

Kale wasn’t really a cat person, he was more for rabbits and hamsters, you know something small, cute and cuddly? Kale was deathly afraid of dogs because he got attacked by them countless of times but when it came to cats, Kale just didn’t have a clue on what theey were thinking or up too.

One time his auntie Jen's cat, Marbles clawed him when Kale just wanted to pet her, however she didn't see it that way...

He was getting a lot of wondering gazes and glares, not only that but many cat-like people were watching as he moved and started to whisper to each other.

Words like ‘Foreigner’ or the other one he couldn’t quite catch on to were what they were calling him. It made the young man the more nervous when he wondered down the pathway. It felt weird walking down dusty roads in his bare feet; Kale thinks he must look strange to them, like an alien from Star Wars that seemed to have appeared out of no where.

Then again everyone around him were wearing cloaks and strange clothing from something out of an RPG game; like Final Fantasy only they had cat ears and cat tails. Kale kind of laughed a bit in his head thinking they mustn’t have seen someone wearing pyjamas before.

It was scary at the same time he had to admit.

Kale actually wondered what it would be like to have cat ears and a tail? He remembered seeing Susan and Marie playing a game with boys that actually had cat ears; sadly though he didn’t understand a thing they were saying because it was in Japanese. That was when Marie thought it would be a good idea to turn the TV off and they could play it later.

Kale wondered why though? It seemed interesting and he even wanted to play it…

Sadly he doesn’t know a word of Japanese, if only he took up the Japanese class like Susan and Marie then he’ll know.

Yet Susan told him a couple of days later that it was best for him not to know.

A mystery that is yet to be discovered…

Never mind that though…

Kale kept walking down pathways and streets until he came by a store that looked like an Inn; it had the word ‘Inn’ in it not only that it seemed to be a language that Kale could understand. The sign that was hanging above his head had a yellow and pink flower and it read ‘Cherry Blossom Inn’ so without a second thought Kale just wondered on in.

Once he entered there was a bar that became present, many people or cat people sat about the place, all of them drinking draft beers or different coloured wines glimmering from the sunlight that entered through the windows. He never thought cats could drink to be honest but then again this must be one weird dream he had made himself. It was strange so Kale decided this must be another one of his weird dreams again but this was a first time that he had a dream about cat-like people...

Silence fell into the bar and nothing but mindless stares and knuckles cracking into open palms were more than a warning that Kale was going to get trouble. This was all too much to be just a simple dream and Kale thinks what ever he did last night must’ve been real bad for the blond to have made came up with such a dream like this, Kale could only shudder at the mere thought.

Kale was never one to drink alcohol, he was below the age limit to even drink the stuff but he never liked it. This was decided after a night in Febuary 14th when his older brother Darren came back completely hung over and giggle-ish like a little schoolgir. He began to ramble on and on at how he found a gorgeous girl with long legs and long golden hair.

The kid felt like he was scared for life when his older brother wouldn’t stop going through the details about how he made her night ‘enjoyable’

He entered the place now so it was best not to turn back.

Even though there was a menacing aura

“Come on in stranger, don’t let them scare yeah!” hollered an old cat, he looked like the bar tender, waving a crinkly hand at the young boy. He had greyish ginger hair and his ears looked a bit shrivelled like old plums set out to rot. His tail reminded him of a foxes, only it looked fluffier than that.

The old man wore something a waiter at a fancy restaurant would wear, he had cuffs with little smiley faces on them. This is what made Kale suspicious but the boy accepted the offer and sat down at the counter where the old man was anyways.

“Nice to see something interesting, someone who doesn’t have a tail or a set of ears! You must be a ‘Lethain’” Kale just stared blankly, those innocent blue eyes not having a single clue at what he was on about, the old man seemed to have noticed and laughed his tail moving hysterical along with the bar tenders laughter.

“Oh sorry, around these parts we call ‘Foreigners’ ‘Lethains’, it’s really funny since we still use those words around here…” That just made Kale wonder, where exactly was 'here'? The man looked at him strangely before bringing a small curve upwards that appeared lightly on his lips.

“You can’t speak can you?” Kale looked up, wondering if it was just that obvious? “Right now you must be wondering how I know? Well you seem to know what I’m saying but sadly you can’t talk, an old cat knows these things you know kiddo? So what happened to your tail and ears?” Kale stared at him for another moment; he never had a pair of ears or a tail to begin with.

It took a while until Kale found a piece of paper and pen pushed towards him, the old cat was actually trying to be very helpful.

“Since you can’t speak why don’t you try writing? Why not start with your name? My names Handle, Handle Kite, what’s yours?” Kale took the pen and paper and started to scribble his name down.

‘Kale Gateland’

“K-Kale Gateland? Funny name, I never seen a name like that before…” the old cat seemed interested in Kale’s handwriting. Kale sucked with hand writing, they always looked like scribbles from a childs drawing. “So what happened to your ears and tail boy?”

Once Kale written down his explanation he showed it to Handle who seemed to be even more interested than before.

“You never had a pair of ears or a tail? Strange…” Was it really that strange? Kale thought to himself, he hoped if this was a dream then he could wake up soon, so ar it doesn't seem to be one.

“Handle” the old cat looked away from Kale for a moment to meet a dark brown eyed gaze covered in strands of black hair and cat ears, the tips were covered in white, white as snow and his tail had white stripes like a tigers tail. He looked a lot younger like Handle and seemed to be a little bit older than Kale, nothing on the feline’s body but black and white robes with dark trousers, a black cloak hanging off his back with white tribal markings that shaped o create a butterfly, something that reminded you of a tattoo.

Kale lost his breath, the cat that stood next to him looked like a model from a magazine. He was good looking and seemed to be well groomed for someone with those ears and tail.

“Oh, so you finally showed up huh Claw? So how’d it go with the job?” Claw narrowed his eyes, Kale flinched. The blond thought the guy would’ve looked more handsome if it wasn’t for the fact that the cat didn’t smile.

“There were rumours that a ‘Lethain’ came into the town, people say he was wearing strange clothes and had no ears or a tail at all. It’s unsettling that such a creature even got in here without us knowing”

Handle giggled wearily before directing a hand at Kale’s direction

“Well my friend look no further, your ‘Lethain’ is sitting right here” a moments of silence came within the bar area before Claw turned his dark creepy gaze over to Kale’s direction.

They stared at each other for a moment before Kale just smiled and waved nervously, it felt as if that Claw was going to pounce on him at any given moment, chewing his arms to pieces like a mountain lion would. Thank goodness he wasn't a mountain lion but Kale was still nervous

“You’re the ‘Lethain’? Handle why didn’t you report this?” once again this was met with a nervous giggle

“He just got here and besides what use was it for me if I scared the poor kid, it seemed to me that 'Little Kale' has no idea where he is” Claw furrowed his brow, he didn’t seem to be happy at all the response and Kale felt a little bit ‘freaked’ out by the felines reactions. Was he in trouble? He sincerly hopes not.

“Little Kale?”

“Yes, it seems that this little ‘Lethain’ has a name, his names Kale Gateland, very cute isn’t it?”

“Don’t give me that Handle, you know rightly that if the ‘Neatto’ are looking for someone that could be a threat then you have to report it immediately” Claw hissed, slamming his hands on to the counter making poor Kale jump. Kale wasn’t use to conflicts; he never took part in them.

In this case however…

He was more lost than the other innocent customers were

“I don’t think you need to worry Claw, Little Kale isn’t a threat, he’s very well mannered and polite in the last couple of minutes I spoke to him before you came gallivanting in here for your usual nap, not only that he can’t speak…so do you want the usual or?”

Claw growled, his dangerous death-like gaze now fired at Kale’s direction, he grabbed the young man’s wrist tightly before dragging him out of the bar.

And all Kale heard from Handle as he was dragged through the door was

“I guess not huh? Poor Little Kale”

Youkai Of Hearts: Hello people, I am Youkai Of Hearts, but be happy to call me YOH for short! Wow so I finally did something with people with cat features huh!! Can I be honest and confess something here…

I think I might’ve borrowed a page from Lamento Beyond The Void here; I did make a reference to it in a way in this chapter. You see I live in the UK and even though I want to play the game, it is kind of in Japanese and I’m sad to say I don’t know how to read or even speak the language even though I wish I did…

I also made a reference in Final Fantasy, I love playing a few of those games, sad to say I wasn’t able to finish them, I did finish Kingdom Hearts though (giggle)

I kind of mixed up some names for a language in this chapter too

Like ‘Lethain’, I mixed the Latin word for mortal ‘Letalis’ and kind of altered it a bit, I don’t speak Latin or any other language but I get help through sources

‘Neatto’ is mixed with one of the Italian words for black ‘Nera’ and the Italian word for Cat ‘Gatto’

Don’t ask me where I got my sources from; I can only speak a little bit of Spanish to be honest.

Also this is a try out chapter to see if I would continue it r not, so if you did read this and think I should continue then please review, I've got a couple of other stories but I thought I would challenge myself If I made the main character a 'mute' I might make him talk in a cute-way in later chapters like 'Nya' or meow but still early stages...

So until ther would be another chapter...

Youkai Of Hearts Out!!
