…Well, not the worst thing a heist target could do…

Consequences of looking for cursed gems, he supposed. But that doesn’t help when the thief needs something like, oh, opposable thumbs to actually hold the dang thing. It was too large to fit in his mouth, too. As it was, he focused on trying to move it along with his paws, maybe at least get it somewhere hidden before he tries to find out what to do. If he needed the jewel to reverse his sudden change of species, might not be the best idea to let it be returned just yet.

…Though moving something shiny around like this probably wasn’t the best idea either. It’s getting really distracting…

…Yep. Gonna play with the shiny.

Tail waving happily behind him, Kaito hopped on the stone, causing it to roll away along the ground, though it didn’t take long before he chased it down to catch it with his paws.

And before too long, his ears twitched. Footsteps. He looked up, standing defensively over the gem, ears back at the approaching figure. No. His shiny. Wait, no, jewel. His jewel. Still didn’t want people taking it, but should probably try to not get so distracted…

Heiji brought his other hand up to rest his chin on. This cat seemed determined on guarding that jewel. After a long moment Heiji’s patience seemed to wear down and slight irritation over came him before he stood up straight again.

“ Yer one stubborn cat.” He muttered running a hand through his hair after he removed his hat to do so. “I’ll let someone know yer up here then. Maybe they’ll feed ya! Ya do look pretty scrawny.”

Kaito’s ears folded down as the other stood, though soon perked up again when it seemed like the other was going to leave. Maybe by the time someone else came, he’ll have had time to move the gem so he could come back later…

…Wait…

I’m not ‘scrawny’, I’m lithe. Not my fault I got a lot smaller than I’d have thought…

Though, the mention of food caused his stomach to make a sound, and his ears went back again. In embarrassment this time. No, bad. Not allowed to make noises, at least not while people are around.

That… His other self should be able to know what happened, right? Might take a little while, but he had the jewel from his…

No, wait. Probably shouldn’t bring that with him right now. There don’t need to be two magician cats. He should work on getting the other to figure out he’s not a normal cat, first… Hmm…

…That might work… Okay, now to get Kaito’s attention first. Shouldn’t be too hard, considering how he looked right now…

He quickly darted in front of his counterpart, hopping on one of his shoes when he finished taking a step. At the very least, should get him to stop moving…

…Not sure what to think of seeing the dragon right now… On the one hand, he seemed nice enough while Kaito had been human. But… just… uncertain now that he was a much smaller cat…

He looked up at the other, tail waving slowly behind him, slightly wary. Maybe the other could understand cat language?

Umm… hi?

Saguru?

Kaito immediately jumped off the bed, a tiny thump sounding when he hit the floor, and ran to the front of the house. He’d been getting worried since he’d gotten back from the heist, since his detective needed to take care of some work afterward. Didn’t help when he had troubles like this…

But it didn’t matter, he’d returned, if the front door opening gave any indication. And Kaito’s just going to run up and start rubbing against his leg, worry about being a cat momentarily pushed aside from being happy to see his detective.

She should be here, right?

The former magician cautiously walked further into the shop, trying not to catch the attention of the person he’d snuck in behind. Difficult to see, actually, because of how small he’d become, but maybe behind the counter? Granted, even if Madison noticed him, she might not be too happy with a cat wandering around the store… But maybe she’d pause when she noticed the Jack of Clubs he’d brought with him? Most animals didn’t exactly carry playing cards, and he may hope that this will be enough to make her wonder for a moment, even if she probably wouldn’t jump a connection from the dark haired troublemaker to a small kitten.

Kaito wandered around a while, trying to decide on what to do. Or, well, that was what he had been doing for a while after noticing how he looked now. Really, he’d decided he did need to see his other self, both for any possible help, and… well…

He worried for the magician.

So most of the wandering and thinking now rested on whether or not he should go through with it, so much considering and debating on what might happen if he did, should he let him know right away, should he wait, or…

The sight of a familiar face off to one side caught Kaito’s attention, and he stopped. Why was…?

…

He didn’t hesitate too long before padding up to the other and tilting his head to one side, as if curious, wondering what was wrong.

“Mew?”

…Preeeetty sure this is for pissing off Akako in some way…

Kaito watched his tail wave around behind him some before turning to scan the park. Not many people around, so… Sigh. Should he wait to see if he’ll get back to normal after some time, or go see how long it would take to find her to change him back…

His thoughts drifted off when he caught sight of something. A shoelace, close by, untied and his eyes went wide. Unconsciously, he crouched down and watched, waiting, then pounced on the shoe, rational thought temporarily leaving him for the moment of play.
