Warning: Boy’s Love, what else can you ask for? Besides some kitty boys.

Summary: Kale was never one to come up with dreams like these? People running around with cat ears and tails, this is where Kale asks questions if it was a dream or not…

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.

Claw McWhiskers

Claw, a member of the ‘Neatto’ squad seven, he is the first member of the ‘Neatto’ that Kale meets. He has tanned skin, black hair, ears with white tips and his tails is white striped. Claw isn’t exactly like Kale. His attitude is much more cold and he is kind of distant. He hates people who don’t stand up for themselves and who don’t have a will to live. Claw can use black magic at a high level and carries a samurai sword just in case things go wrong.

Chapter Three:

‘Time to Wake Up? No?’

Kale was actually surprised at how dark the town got when they left the ‘Neatto’ Tower.

Everywhere was already covered with the lights of little tiny candles and the shine of the moonlight that covered the whole town. Kale liked it, more peaceful and there were fewer cats around the place.

Even though he’s been here for a few hours, Kale wondered how long it would take him before he wakes up and finds out that this was merely a strange dream that he came up with?

It felt weird moving around in these clothes, the boots were especially, strangely enough comfortable. Kale actually liked them and so far it’s his favourite bit of clothing.

“Stay close ‘Lethain’” Claw growled, noticing the teen’s admiration for the town covered in moon and candlelight’s. His tail seemed to be tense and Claw couldn’t help but frown at him, more angrily than usual, even though Kale didn’t know him very well.

So far though, Kale liked Claw’s white tipped ears and his stripy tail, he looked like a crossover of a tiger and a normal housecat with white tips. Even though Claw was good looking and seemed to have a bit of muscle, Kale still had to like his tail and ears.

Although…

His attitude was what put him off…

If only he was a girl, Kale thought to himself…

“It’s dangerous when your out on Rosiel at night, especially if you’re a foreigner, if you get lost and raped or something don’t expect me to come looking for you?” a shiver gone through Kale’s spine, making him freeze in his place he wondered if maybe this was a bit like Las Vegas. His mother and brother would always tell him things like that if he went out at night on his own…

“Hurry up or I’m leaving you behind” Claw snarled, walking away and off course Kale followed, he didn’t want to be a victim because of his naivety.

It was a shock when Kale found himself back at the ‘Cherry Blossom Inn’, the lights that were shining through the windows and a shadowed figure stood near it. Kale stood in front of the bar for a few minutes before he shock his head and realised he was out there by himself.

Not wanting to be left alone in a place he had no clue about, Kale rushed into the Inn.

Bang

The door slammed shut and Kale took in a deep cleansing breath, his head was a bit dizzy from everything that happened in this weird dream. He looked around the bar seeing that it was practically empty; no one was there except for Handle, the older cat.

Handle twitched his ears and directed his old wary gaze at Kale’s direction.

“Oh, nice…those clothes suit you for someone who doesn’t have a set of ears” Handle giggled, his cheeks going bright pink. “Has Fluffy made you a member of team seven then?” a blank expression appeared on Kale’s face, those clueless blue eyes spinning like they were dirty clothes in a washing machine.

“No way in hell would Ravenwood bring a ‘Lethain’ into the ‘Neatto’! He’s completely useless” Claw growled, the sways of his tail moving to one side to another was more than a signal.

“Now, now, no need to get nasty Claw, your just cranky from not getting your nap today” Handle chuckled, waving his right hand while the other held a glass filled with milk. “No need to take it out on ‘Little Kale’” Handle purred.

“Stop calling him ‘Little Kale’, you make it sound like he’s a pet or something?” Kale sighed, wondering over to the seat near the counter and relaxed his head on the fine wood. He wanted to wake up now, he wanted to know that this wasn’t real but Kale realised he’s been wishing for that to happen ever since he came here.

“Aww are you tired ‘Little Kale’?” Kale nodded, his cheek rubbing off the fine wood, he felt Handle’s hand on his head, his wrinkled hand touching stands of blond hair. “If you want you can share a room with Claw tonight, I’m afraid I’m boarded up for the evening”

There were sounds of someone collapsing on to the floor and when they both turned their heads over, all the other two could see was Claw lying on the floor until he rose to his feet and fired another glare over to Handle.

“Handle! I refuse”

The old cat pouted childishly, like a child that has been denied his sweets.

“You always refuse that’s why your so boring, there’s nothing I could do about it okay?” Kale lifted his head, his eyelids felt like sandbags so he didn’t really care what was going on around him anymore. “Although between you and me, Claw has a habit of talking in his sleep so I’d be careful if I were you ‘Little Kale’”

Kale nodded, heeding the warning as he got off the seat and wondered up the stairs. Handle jumped at the teen’s sudden movement as he hollered

“It’s the first room to your right!”

“What the hell are you up too Handle?” Claw asked he still looked a bit pissed off at the whole arrangement being made without his consent.

Handle sighed before turning his attention back to Claw, a look filled with seriousness appearing in his old wise eyes.

“Claw, I have to talk with you” Handle began, his voice completely changed from the friendly bar tender that Kale had met earlier. This was a side of Handle that Claw had seen on a few other occasions. “I did a bit of digging and I found something that you might be interested in”

Claw stood there waiting patiently

“Apparently there’s a rumour going round that a sorceress has been researching in different worlds, remember the sorceress that was tossed out of Alenam a few years ago because of her ‘mental’ theory of there being another world?” how could Claw forget, he heard from a friend that was there at the time telling him all the rubbish that the sorceress was spewing from her mouth.

“You don’t actually think that, the ‘Levithan’ is from another world do you?”

“I don’t know but the way Kale acts, the fact that he doesn’t have a pair of ears or a tail and the moment he entered in this morning might be all connected in a way” Handle dipped his hand under the counter and pulled out the pieces of paper that he gave to Kale to write earlier. “Look at these”

Claw took the pieces of paper and read them, all he saw was the boy’s name and a sentence that said…

‘I was never born with a pair of ears or a tail, I was born this way’

“I know of this already, we asked him questions back at head quarters”

“Yes however don’t you think it’s odd, he’s never been here before yet he is able to understand our language and what we’re saying very well? I think what that sorceress said might actually be a reality…” Claw sat down on the chair, he did think it was strange.

“You’re not serious are you?”

“Come on, Claw, what I’m practically saying now is nothing but theory. Just ask Kale some more questions, like where he lives and what it’s like, with that information I’ll be able to determine from that information then okay?” Claw sighed, turning on his heels and headed for his room

“And make sure not to frighten the poor boy alright?”

When Claw got back to the room, he already sees that Kale is asleep but not on his bed, the ‘Levithan’ was sleeping on the couch on the left side of the room, Claw narrowed his gaze, he didn’t really mind but he remembered Handle telling the boy to sleep in the bed.

The boy was certainly an odd ball.

“Oi! Levithan” Claw placed his hand on Kale’s shoulder, giving the blond a simple nudge however Kale’s sleep didn’t waver. Claw snarled a bit, a vein appearing on his head, he didn’t like it when people ignored them especially when their sleeping in his room.

“Come on you-!”

The cat jumped when he felt Kale’s hand held on to his wrist, it was a reflex; Kale was still stuck in his gentle slumber.

“L.e.t.g.o.” he whispered in a hiss, Kale didn’t wake up though. He just continued to sleep in blissful innocent sleep. Claw narrowed his eyes, he felt his brow twitching, he wanted to beat up the little blond but then he’d get attacked by Handle.

And Handle was scary when provoked.

Claw sighed, he was going to regret this, he hooked his arm under Kale’s legs and after prying his wrist off Kale’s grasp, he hoisted the small boy into his arms and carried him over to the bed. Laying Kale out and pulled the covers up over him.

After a while, Claw went and got changed and jumped into the bed with Kale however he made sure to keep his distance away from him.

Still fate had other plans that would annoy the little cat to no end.

Glomp

Claw jumped, he felt a hand grasping his wrist again, he frowned slowly turning his head over and saw Kale’s sleeping gaze again.

‘Give me a break’

The next day, Kale was still sleeping in bed while Claw was up and running about, Claw didn’t have to go into head quarters today but that meant he had to help Handle around in the Inn.

Kale was hoping to be awake in his old bed but then was saddened when he realised he was still here.

The boy found himself pouting before slamming his head back down on to the pillow and curled up into a little ball.

Knock, knock

“’Little Kale’ time to get up!”

This was defiantly proof that he was still here, the chances of this being a dream were starting to look more and more dimmer by the given hour so Kale thought he should just give up and probably play along with this whole scenario that opened up on him unexpectedly.

Kale was practically feeling more depressed…

“I hope Claw didn’t keep you up all night did he? Oh you poor thing” Handle placed his wary hand on the boy’s head, running through strands of blond hair. Handle gently pulled the covers off the boy as the birds decided to sing on the trees outside the bedroom window.

“Come on it’s time to get up, go and have a bath, clean yourself up a bit”

Kale obeyed, groggily lifting himself off the bed and wondered over to the bathroom.

He was relieved when he saw that everything was the same and even though it looked slightly more different they were all still the same.

Kale locked the door behind him and started to turn the taps for the bath but not before placing the plug over the drain. Once it was the right temperature and depth, Kale took off his clothes and placed him into the bath, moments of peace and silence to leave him with his thoughts.

Just him…

In here…

Alone…

Kale never really thought it would turn out like this.

To be honest, Kale was hoping to hear his big brother waking him up, his mother yelling at Darran for making such a big commotion. His friends coming over to pick him up as they wonder to school, sit through class, seeing his teachers for improvements on work or in cases of bullying.

Kale narrowed his eyes and looked at his reflection in the water, it was apparent that this was no longer considered a dream and even though Kale was still trying to be in denial, he has to accept it now.

He wonders what their doing now?

Do they realise he’s missing?

His mother was probably crying and his brother cursing at his uselessness, his friends would probably try and find him at his usual places. There were numerous of thoughts in his head even ones that didn’t seem like his at all.

‘You’ve arrived, the one that’ll change this world’

Kale placed his hands over his ears; he didn’t want to hear them anymore but no matter what he could still hear them.

‘I will use you to open the door,’

That was when they stopped, Kale slowly took his hands off his ears and looked at his hands, he wondered if that was real?

Kale thought about it until he noticed a mark on the back of his right hand when he turned it round.

It looked like a Japanese character, he didn’t know if it was kanji or the other type of characters.

He didn’t really know he wasn’t up to speed in any language.

What ever it said, he doesn’t have a good feeling about this.

‘Knock, knock’

“Little Kale, I’ve left some clothes for you on the bed, when you get out make sure to put them on so they’ll fit okay?”

When Kale got out of the bathroom, he wondered over to the bed to see clothes laid out for him, there was a silk red top that reminded him of something of a Chinese origin, it was nice and red with orange designs, there was also a pair of black trousers and sandals.

Kale looked at them oddly, he wondered if there was something else he would be able to wear but since these were the only ones lying out in the room, he just gave in and changed over, it was different from the stuff he wore yesterday.

Besides he wasn’t about to take any of Claw’s clothes, given as much on how the guy disliked him already. Kale didn’t want to get into anymore trouble with the cat and he sure as heck doesn’t want the guy’s sword pierced to his neck.

That would scare him...

Plus it would seriously hurt.

When he finished changing, Kale made a light sigh, making his way down the stairs but not before closing the door to the room.

Once Kale got down the stairs he was immediately met with numerous of glances and glares.

It made him very uncomfortable and Kale was aware that he was considered strange in this place. Kale rushed into the kitchen and hid there for a moment, he could see that Handle was serving customers by the counter.

Kale continued to hide in the kitchen, his eyes wondering all over the place, he was relieved that none of them are looking at him anymore.

“What are you doing back here?” Kale jumped immediately turning round and looked into Claw’s icy gaze, Kale quivered a bit, he’s still not use to that gaze of his.

“Hey Claw, whose this guy?” Kale jumped when he met a girl about his age, her ears were a rosy pink colour including her hair, a pair of wide wine red eyes staring at him, like he came out of space or a fairytale. The girl wore a lovely maid outfit and her fluffy pink tail swayed side to side with excitement.

“Lethain” Claw replied.

“You mean that foreigner you were talking about, he doesn’t look crazy” Kale felt slightly shy, he hid behind Claw; Claw didn’t seem to care much on what Kale does.

“Don’t give me that, this is Milky Daffodil, Milky, this is…’Kale’ or ‘Little Kale’ as Handle would call him”

Kale wondered why a parent would call their child Milky but she was cute.

“Aw, he’s adorable, nice to met you Kale, I’m Milky, I work here with Uncle Handle because technically I’m a better cook than he is” Milky extended her hand, wanting to shake the boy’s hand, Kale looked up at Claw who in turn glared at him. Kale slowly reached his hand forward and shock her hand.
