The afternoon was warm, musk perfuming the air and causing the little tora's head to droop.
The park, on a whole, was beautiful, she surmised, through a haze of gold and peach, children giggling noisily on the play equipment, but what Kisa liked best was leaning against the rough, gnarled bark of a tree, her tree, and just thinking.
Okaasan needs me home soon...I'd better hurry. I don't want to worry Okaasan...or Otousan for that matter...
Kisa barely had enough time to register the blur of ginger and white, before it practically bowled over her, thin, frantic claws digging into her...
Ah...? A kitty! How adorable!
Instinctively, her hands reached out to encircle the cat, but it fled, leaping from its perch on her head and scrambling away, circling the glade a couple of times, yellowy eyes wide and frightened.
Poor thing! Its scared!
Kisa gave chase, as any other little girl would have, giggling at the adventure, wading through the foliage and lush, freshly sprouted flowers, not caring if she broke them, absorbed in the ball of fluff before her...
"Kitty-san! I won't hurt you! Please come back!"
Unbeknownst to her, the way ahead was rain-drenched, litter and other various dilemnas scattered in front of her, but the girl was only concentrating on the scrawny ginger cat before her.
"Kitty-san, please come back...oof-!!"
She tripped, one muddy stick apparating out of thin air to send her flying through the air, ginger hair a halo in the sun, eyes screwed up with anticipation of the fall. It seemed a lifetime before momentum brought her back down, sending her head first into the mud.
Cold, wet, mud saturated once pearly white socks, spattering her clean skirt, blouse and face speckled with dirt. Still giggling, Kisa pushed herself away from the shrapnel that bit into her knees, only to freeze...at the sight of two well polished shoes before her.
Flushing furiously, the girl got to her feet, curiosity gnawing at her as her gaze travelled up the boy before her, more intrigued than disturbed, dark eyes searching her face, and tawny hair slightly mussed.
Feeling she should explain, Kisa began what would certaintly turn out to be a catastrophe. She giggled once more at the pun, then stopped, uncertain what the stranger would think.
"I'm incredibly sorry I got in your way...did you need that mud? Ah! I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce mself! I'm Sohma Kisa...I was just chasing after kitty-san, there..."
She indicated the path the crazed kitten had carved. With a bright smile, Kisa felt she should say more than she usually would, the boy seemed to give her that sort of energy
"Kitty-san is so very cute...and so very mischevious! He's orange and white...kawaii! Have you seen Kitty-san...?"
It finally dawned on her the boys gaze looked familiar-he looked as if he recognized...or acknowledged...her words about the cat. She hesitated, unsure of his actions.
"Anou...do you have a cat of your own? Will...you help me...find kitty-san?"
(( This is before, when Kisa is quite confident, and enjoys things like these. So, she's very[/i confident...and talks a lot ^^))
