Waking up was never easy for me,mainly because I feared date itself. As my alarm clock rang,alerting me it was time to leave the world of dreams,and return to the real world.

" My day better not be like always" I yawned tired,getting ready for my daily Sunday routine

My name is Bloom Yumi. I'm an average eight year old girl,living with my grandmother. I may be young,but that doesn't mean that I act that way. Grandma is always busy with work,so I take care of the house while she's away.

"Grandma,I'll be back later,I need to get some fresh air" I called out,slipping on my black Nike sneakers

"Don't be too long,strange things can occur" she hollors as I walk down our street

I wonder why she constantly keeps telling me that,strange things always happen. I walk to a small bench,placing myself on it. I relax against the metal frame, as if it were a living creature embracing me into a hug.

"It's lonely without a friend to talk to,but who would speak to,a girl who is so shy that she faints meeting someone new" I sighed,pulling my legs close to my chest,hudding myself into a ball.

Meow!

"Huh?" I looked up to see a small blue kitten being picked on by some crows.

The crowd were hungry,wanting a helpless kitten as their next meal.

My body moved in,to shield the tiny kitten,protecting it from further harm. The crowd fled,seeing that their prey was no longer within reach.

Meow!

"You're welcome,you should be more careful little guy" I petted his ears,gently rubbing his neck to examine any injuries by those birds.

The kitten purrs,nuzzles against my chest,as it feels protected being at my side. He didn't have a collar,so I assume he must be a stray. Poor thing, if it stays out here,he will no doubt my get attacked a gain. I was about to do a very,very bold thing, ask grandma if I could keep a cat that I found on the streets. I'm often very timid talking to her,but I knew it was what I had to do. I held the kitten close and raced back home.

"A kitten?!" She looked at the little one in my arms.

"I found him,the poor little thing was getting attacked by vicious crows. So to keep him safe,I wanna keep him as a pet" I scratched his ears,watching him relax in my tender care.

Grandma shot me a serious look. "A pet is a very big responsibility,founder lady. Feeding,keeping it healthy,and especially out of mischief"

" I know,but this kitten" I paused before facing my grandmother again. " I feel like I have a connection to him,as weird as it may sound. I will take care of him I swear "

She took a moment to think about it. After a while she told me her answer. "You can keep him,but he's your responsibility" she stroked his fur, smiling a bit.

"Thank you!" I was so overjoyed ,I can help my new kitten and I won't be so alone anymore

The kitten was pleased as well,putting happily. Licking my arms as a means of thanks.

I giggled as I make my way up the stairs,going to my bed. I place the kitten on the covers.

"Now what to name you" I thought about what my new tiny friend should be called.

It looked back at me innocently with it's shiny ruby red eyes,they seemed full of justice and loyality. Ruby.....that's it!

"I'll call you Ruby! After your sparkling gem like eyes" I pick him up,falling backwards on the bed.

Meow! He seemed to like that name.

After a few hours,Bloom fell asleep.

" Lord Enma was indeed wise to choose her,she may be young,but holds within her a pure gold heart. And now as her pet cat, I can be with her at all times" Hovernyan whispered

Hovernyan floated to her nightstand,placing the necklace that Lord Enma gave him,to give to her.

"Tomorrow will be our fates meeting" he whispered,careful not to wake her.

He then floated down to the floor to a makeshift cat bed that Bloom made for him. He transform into his kitten form and crawled into bed. Then allowed sleep to claim him.
