I woke slowly as morning light crossed my face. Slowly I rose from the dusty rug on the floor if my "pen".
My pen was really the family's disused ground floor porch. The only reason they ever came into it was to run electric cables to the christmas lights. There was only a small rug I'd been able to steel out of the dumpster.
If anyone came over I was sent to the "pen". they didn't want me seen.
I tried the door. It was unlocked. There was a guest here who was staying for the week. Master must want me to clean and cook before he woke up.
I hurried to the kitchen to start The meal. As it cooked I cleaned well away from where the food was cooking. As soon as the meal was cooked I set four trays.
I grabbed my master and mistresses's trays and hurried up the stares. "Breakfast," I called quietly from behind there door.
"Get in here cat," Master's harsh voice sounded.
I entered the room and delivered the trays then went to stand by the door until told to leave. "You will not return to your pen today cat, and as you did such a poor job cleaning no food for the next three days."
"Yes Master," I bowed low as I said it.
"Now get out of my sight." He growled.
"Yes Master," I bowed again and left.
I picked up the next tray and walked down the hall to the guest bedroom.
"Breakfast," I called from the door again.
"Enter," A dry and cold woman's voice called back.
"I made your breakfast Madame," I said as I carefully slipped into the room.
"So you are the Japanese cat I've heard about?" She questioned me as I retreated to beside the door.
"Yes Madame," I answered curiously.
"You weren't to answer that," She snapped.
"I apologize Madame." I hastily looked away.
"Come here," she snapped. Shakily I walked over to the bed. As soon as I was within reach she grabbed my face and pulled me to her. "You and your kind say nothing, at no time do you speak to me. You may announce breakfast in the morning that is all. If you do any more I will have my sun punish you severely. I will be here from now on."
Only now that I was being held right to her face did I notice how old she was. So this was Master's mother.
"Now I want you out of this room. Get going." She sank her teeth into the food then looked at me, "And next time I get served first."
Only moments later I was outside the last room with the final tray. "Breakfast."
"About time!" A angry young voice called out. I entered my Young Master's room. He was only about eleven. I put the tray on his lap and turned to return to the door. Seconds after my back was exposed a plait of eggs hit the back of my head. "I said always pancakes!!" The boy yelled at me.
"I apologize Young Master," I nearly snapped.
"Ya you better, and one more thing, my Grandma says you shouldn't talk, so don't do it again." He smiled sickly. "Oh, and I won't let you leave yet."
I ended up in his room for about an hour, leaving me no time to clean, though not for lack of trying.
When Master came down he punished this with another day of no food. With that out of the way he went to check the cameras around the house. This was their way of making sure I didn't brake their rules. I disappeared into the corner that had been designated as my place when I wasn't working.

I sighed as I laid in my,"bed". It was really just an old blanket,torn and ripped. I had been thinking a lot about those days before I was forced into slavery. I couldn't help but think of my family,and that group of people like m...

I awoke to another sunny day. Oh how I wish I could run in that sun. I got up off my rag and turned into my human form. I stepped out of the closet and into the kitchen. It was time to make breakfast for my owners. I c...

"Nao?" A woman's voice blared through the phone.
"Hi there Miss I! What can I do for ya?" Naoki answered. He knew she probably wanted him to look after Tokine, but it never hurt to ask.
with a seconds hesitation, as if she felt bad about asking, Io said, "Well, I have to go to work a little early today and I wont be home 'till 3, could I drop Toki at Shuji's place?"
Naoki couldn't help but giggle at the desperate tone. "Of course Miss I! You know you don't haffta ask! Shu and I'll be home all day."
"Oh thank you! You're a life saver! See you in a half hour!" And then a click signaled the end of the conversation. Nao hung up the reciever with a small smile. He never tired of spending time with the quirky three-year-old that Io had gone through hell to find a babysitter for.
Shuji had met Io first as a waitress in his favorite resturant; then he introduced Nao after the woman had mentioned wanting a babysitter. In the three years they'd known Io, Shuji had probably asked her out every possible way but she always turned him down. Nao almost felt bad for his brother, but he was a good guy and he'd find someone else. He wasn't worried about his older brother. Shuji never let anything get under his skin, he'd be fine.
Naoki had also formed a pretty strong relationship with Io. When he'd go over to play with Tokine, she'd sit with him after work and they'd talk for hours. Sometimes Naoki caught himself thinking of the young mother, as if he were the one with a crush on her!
A knock on the door pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Naoki, get that will you?" his older brother called.
"It's I and the baby! Toki's stayin a while!"
"That's fine."
Nao hurried up to answer the door.
"Hi Nao, thank you sooo much! You have no idea how much I appreciate it!" Io said gratefully.
Nao held out a hand to the dark haired toddler and she took it, waddling over to stand by his side. "It's not a problem, see, we get a long great!" He picked up the little girl and held her at his hip. "I'll give you a call if anything happens. But we should be fine!"
"Okay, I'll see you guys soon!" The woman reached out and kissed her daughter on the head and touched Naoki's cheek. "Thank you." And then she hurried out the door, always late for something.
"C'mon Toki, what do you want to do today?"

I felt the long old needle pierce the flesh of my arm as I struggled with the chains holding me to the hard mettle lab table. I felt my strength leave me as the drug took affect. All it did was take your strength, not stop pain.
The scientists pulled the long rod out of the fire. I tried with the very little strength I had to pull away from the hot iron. One of them grabbed my face. I attempted to yank from his grip as the iron was pressed to my check.
I couldn't restrain it, I yelled.
I felt the back of a gloved hand hit my unburned check. "Your kind is not to make a sound." He hissed in my face.
"It's done, go get the next one." another of then said as the chains were clipped off the cuffs on my wrists, ankles, and neck.
They were just pulling me from the room when a blaring alarm sounded. The room devolved into darkness. Slowly my eyes blinked open.
It took me a while to register the pink walls and black trim of me bed room. This had been my room for the last year or so. I still had the nightmares about my time in the lab. Even now I could feel the cold sweet soaking my sheets.
Reluctantly I slid out of my bed. It was seven in the morning. Normally I didn't get up this early. I was free to sleep in if I liked, but Andy was coming back today.
In the one year I had been here I had learned a lot. Mostly about Tie and Andy.
They had even had a halter son ten years ago. Well he had been adopted after they found him seriously injured. Apparently he had saved their lives before he disappeared. Andy still looked for him every time there was a report of a halfer for sell. Tie thought he had never been found.
As my thoughts wondered I put on my day clothing. In quiet agitation I put my hair up. As I stripped the wet sheets from my bed I heard a car pull up outside.
I finished stripping the bed down and hulled the sheets up to start the wash.
"Was it him?" I heard Tie from the living room.
"No, it was some other wolf." Andy sighed as she sat down.
Not wanting to stick my head in where it didn't belong I walked back to my room. I wasn't a real part of the family. The halfer they were looking for was, but not me.
I had seen a room they had built for him if he came back. Painted in black and reds, archery and rock music posters. They had really known him. They let me pick stuff for myself, but still, he was the one that was more important.
