Another story series, this time involvin' a certain cheshire cat! So what happens when ya mess with someone's timeline, especially when they eventually grow up to be such a powerful someone? Let's find out...
Winter flexed and stretched his fingers and toes, reworking his digits to their full dexterity. Time travel always left the kitsune feeling stiff. He looked about, seeking his victim per his latest contract. The Cheshire would not be far.
A small sound drew the kitsune’s attention to a small bassinet left by a small sprouting tree. Winter looked about, confused. He had ridden the timeline to the beginning of the cat’s life. Why was there no one here? He crouched down beside the opening that revealed a small kitten with purple and pink stripes and the biggest green eyes he had seen on a child.
The baby Cheshire cat looked at Winter with a tiny smile and giggled happily. The kitsune’s brow furrowed. His contract was to stop this child from growing into a public menace but perhaps there was more than one way to correct that future. He lifted the babe from the bassinet, wrapped in a small green blanket.
“Hey there little one,” he began, uncertain of his plan. “Just popped into existence did you? Well your name is Zataan. And mine is-”
He stopped and thought for a moment. Did he want this child to know him as Winter? Somehow the name of a contractor seemed inappropriate for the task at hand.
“My name is Kopfchi,” he told the kitten shifting uncomfortably at the sound of his first name. “But you can call me Ko. It looks like I’ll be taking care of you.”
The tiny Zataan giggled, seeming to understand and tried to wrap his mouth around the syllable, managing a quick “O! O!” and wrapping a tiny hand around the kitsune’s finger.
“You must be hungry,” Ko stated, while rifling through his bag. “I’m afraid the only thing I have are these Eat Me’s.”
He pulled out a cookie which the baby Zataan immediately reached for eagerly.
“Ko- Ko!”
The kitsune smiled as the kitten managed his first true syllables. Perhaps it would not be all that bad to let the baby have just one little sweet.
