                 Lonely Hearts and Furry Faces

         Most cats hated cold water.  Shampoo simply LOATHED it.  Her
delivery bike, along with the Ramen it contained, had fallen to the side
of the road. The sudden rain storm and the change it brought over
her, having left it there.

         She sighed to herself, at least the Masaki Residence, the
Ramen's intended destination, was close by.  Perhaps she could wait out
the rain in there, maybe even find some hot water.  Setting off for the
large house in the distance, she cursed her luck. This was not for the
first or the last time.

         Shampoo crept quietly along the grounds of the Masaki home,
carefully leaped over the back gate and approached a window she hoped
might lead to a bathroom.  Suddenly, she was no longer alone.   A slight
twinge in her spine and a sound in her sensitive ears announced the
newcomer.

        Ryo-ohki studied the cat with interest and also a little bit of
apprehension.  Real, biological cats always responded to her with fear
or sometimes outright revulsion.  To them, she was something unnatural.
Her humanoid companions treated her as a pet or maybe a warship, kindly,
but still not as a human companion.  Sadly, Ryo-ohki prepared herself
for more rejection, she was stuck between two worlds, and neither could
really ever understand how she felt.

         Shampoo was fascinated. Never had she seen such a breed of
feline before.  It seemed to have been bred for simple kawaii's sake.
Its  large eyes, huge ears and the crystal on it's forehead, made
Shampoo want to cradle the thing close to her.  The thought shocked
her, she was an Amazon after all.  While that sort of thing was fine for
other girls,(and for seducing future Husbands) it had no place in the
mind of a warrior.  

	When she looked back at the strange pet, her own face filled with
Amazon dignity, the cabbit’s face fell and it began to emit a low
moaning sound.  Astonished, Shampoo own face softened as she listened to
the creature.  The other cat was…was crying!  Her  warrior’s heart
melted.

         Purring softly, Shampoo nuzzled Ryo-ohki's head, causing the
cabbit to meow in shock and excitement.  This cat was NOT going to hiss
a challenge or try to run away.  This cat wanted to comfort her, maybe
even play with her!  With a sudden movement, the cabbit twisted away
from the pink cat and faced her, meowing a playful challenge.

         Shampoo blinked.  "Did that cat just SAY *meow*?" Shampoo
wondered, "Can’t be, I must of imagined it." 

         Intending to pounce on her new playmate, Shampoo leapt at her.
Intended to anyway, but the cabbit was not where she had been.  Shampoo
looked about curiously, not noticing the half submerged shape behind
her.  With a triumphant howl, Ryo-ohki launched herself from her hiding
place, half phased into the ground. Only sheer speed and an incredible
combat sense allowed the pink kitten to jump up just in time.  Her
follow through, however, was less then spectacular and the two collided
and tumbled into a heap.

         Shampoo laughed inwardly and helped the cabbit up by pushing
underneath the Ryo-ohki’s belly, with her head.  She wished she could go
on playing, but the rain had frozen her to the bone and she REALLY
needed that hot water.  Smiling as best she could, she leapt away from
the cabbit and up to the window sill.  The Gods hadn't abandoned her
yet, it was a bathroom!

         Ryo-ohki watched her new friend with curiosity, then she 
levitated up to the window and looked down at Shampoo, who was already
exploring the bathroom.  Her playmate seemed to be looking for
something.  As she watched, the pink cat leapt into the tube and then
began to stare hard at the faucet.

         "Shampoo no baka," thought Shampoo, slightly surprised at the
use of the Japanese words so often screamed by her perverted tomboy
rival, "how am I going to turn the faucets like this?"

         Ryo-ohki studied her carefully, then turned to the faucets.  A
light emerged from her head gem, and the faucet's began to turn.  Water
poured in the tub as the other cat looked up at her in thanks and
confusion.  Then, her friend began to change!

         Shampoo, now human again, turned the knob, cutting the water
off.  Smiling, she turned to her strange new friend.  The cabbit’s eyes
seemed to glisten like jewels and Shampoo wondered if her change had
upset the poor thing.  Then, a female form leaped on top of her,
smashing into her in a bonecrushing embrace.  She looked down and saw a
small child, fur still clinging to the young girls face and a wild mane
barely covering her enormous ears.

         Ryo-ohki used a phrase she had heard her counterpart use
whenever she remembered her long solitude in the cave.  "I...I was SO
lonely!" she cried.

         Shampoo, still not sure exactly what was going on, looked down
at the young girl.  Softly and tenderly, she began to rock her back and
forth.  "Shampoo knowing, was lonely too."
