Event: Here Kitty Kitty

[Doji Sakura]

Sakura, who had been in flight, found herself falling and landing on the person she'd been nearest to when they return back to the correct realm. So, when Zashi comes to, there is a very small and light Crane laying across him trying to work out what was going on and feeling very dizzy.

[Kakita Kenji]

"Was that a Dream?" Kenji looked at the Mask in his hand. "Was that Real?" he could't grasp the whole situation fully right now

[Kaito Haruki]

Haruki does some test moves to see if the pain translates to his normal form from when he was a cat. Finding no injuries, realizes he needs to make an excuse as to why he could not train the phoenix clansmen first thing in the morning.

[Zashi]

"I can say that I have come to in worse situations." Zashi cradles the tiny Crane.

"Is everyone back to normal?"

[Kaito Haruki]

"Looks like it, too bad we'll have to skip helping with morning chores if we want to be well rested. Anyone got something to write with?"

[Vutall]

The girl, cat, and bowl of milk disappear as the students converse.

Haruki does hear a voice in his head: "That was fun, Haruki-chan. I'll see you again someday...."

[Doji Sakura]

Sakura, who hadn't worked out what was going on yet, blinked a few times and made a small groan of pain as she tried but failed to sit up.

"What...just happened? Did I imagine being a bird?"

[Zashi]

"No, you didn't imagine it." Zashi calls from underneath the diminutive Crane. The redhead holds up a fox mask. "I think we have our way of sneaking out next time though"

[Doji Sakura]

"Oh, a mask? Won't the guards..." she trailed away as she suddenly realised where she was. Sakura's face went bright red.

"Z-zashi...san...why are you holding me?"

[Zashi]

"You were in flight, in the Crane body, diving to catch the cat when I reached there first. And well..." Zashi gestures skyward. "Well the usual idiom is that you want for pretty girls to fall for you, and not literally on top of you. However, I am seeing the upside"

[Kakita Kenji]

Kenji had still processed the whole situation, but only now he noticed that Zashi once again crossed a line. He threw him a piercing glare.

"Was that a Shugenja spell, Zashi-san, is that what it is?!" Kenji asked angrily.

[Kaito Haruki]

"I haven't heard of a spell that turns multiple people into animals and teleports them."

[Zashi]

"Shugenja? I doubt that. No, I think that was a bakeneko playing tricks. Sprits play by different rules than of human shugenja. Even when transformed I could talk to the kami as I could before." Zashi shrugs.

[Kakita Kenji]

"How can you be so calm?!" Kenji said, still angry, confused "That's not normal?!" His heart rate rose. "And can you put Doji-san down?!"

[Doji Sakura]

"We...were attacked by spirits?"

That didn't help with Sakuras calming, and Kenji getting angry as well didn't. She closed her eyes and took a few calming breaths.

"C-can I stand up please?"

[Zashi]

"I could. Would you like me too Doji-san?" Zashi beams down at the small Crane, helping her up at her request.

Zashi looks back at the Kakita. "I told you, I'm from shugenja from Kitsune Mori, the Forest of Foxes. This kind of thing, well it's not exactly common, but Fox Clan stories are full of things like this."

Zashi pauses, as if realizing something. "Ooh! I might get to be in a story!"

"I wouldn't say "attacked". The Air kami I summoned didn't suggest any harm or danger. I think it was just a neko feeling bored and mischievous."

[Kaito Haruki]

"Either way, I didn't like the phrases she used. She asked us point blank if we wanted to be another animal, and we know this mask has the power to do that. I would advise against using them until we know what they do exactly."

[Kakita Kenji]

Kenji was still visibly confused. "You think these masks can transform us?" he said with a trembling voice

[Kaito Haruki]

"I did when I put on mine before, I bet it will do it again. We're not being forced to wear them though, so just hide them for now so no one accidentally gets turned into one because they found a pretty mask."

[Doji Sakura]

Sakura accepts the help standing up, blushing a little more but hiding it by picking up her mask and looking at it curiously.

"These...sound really dangerous. You heard the voice, we might become what we wear forever. I don't want to be a bird, birds are awful at a forge."
