"Somebody stop that damn cat!" A stall owner said, pointing at a running cat with a fish in its mouth.
With nothing better to do, Ichiro, Alice, and I all began running after it while Akio told the stall owner that we'd stop it.
We began to close in on the cat but before I could grab the thing it made a sharp turn into an alleyway. We all turned as well and continued to chase it. Ichiro ran up next to me and activated his aura. The cat jumped on top of some boxes before turning around to face us. Aura surrounded the cat causing blocking us from seeing it.
"Animal's can use aura?!" I shouted.
"Normal ones can't. So I guess something is special about this cat!" Ichiro said.
An arm make of darkness shot out of the aura and hit Ichiro directly in the face, shooting him directly out of the alleyway. I just barely managed to dodge the hand as it attempted to hit me.
The aura suddenly disappeared along with the cat. I unsheathed Genki and launched myself on top of one of the roofs so I could get a better vantage point.
"Where'd it go?" I asked, looking around the town.
With no sight of the cat I jumped down from the roof and ran over to Ichiro who was laying on the ground. He quickly jumped to his feet and brushed off the dirt that got on him.
"Well that was… surprising." Ichiro said.
The citizens near us were all looking at him with confusion in their eyes. That was to be expected though, all they saw was a person get launched out of an alleyway extremely fast and smash into a wall just to get up like nothing happened.
The stall owner and Akio finally caught up to us and noticed the crowd looking at Ichiro. He let out a sigh as he rubbed his eyes.
"Damn, it got away again." The stall owner said.
"I'm sorry that we couldn't catch it." I said, bowing my head.
The man shook his head, "don't be, nobody's been able to catch it."
The man walked back to his stall while the rest of us just stood there and watched as he left. The crowd around us soon went back to normal as well.
"Ok, so what was up with that cat?" Alice asked.
"Well as I'm sure everyone except Akio saw, that cat had the aura of darkness." Ichiro stated.
I looked back at the alleyway where we saw the cat and saw it sitting on top of the boxes with a smug look on its face before walking away. Ichiro and Alice saw the cat as well which I noticed because of the look on their faces.
