It's My Life
Chapter 5: The Perfect Idea
A day has passed by and it already seemed that it has gotten worse for the cats in the Cat Kingdom. Lune had locked himself in his room along with Toto, Muta, and Yuki as they tried to figure out a way to make the depressed Creation happy once again. None of them were able to come up with a thought and Baron's condition grew worse every five hours. His once orange and cream fur seemed to grow lighter, as if he was going pale from the sickness that is affecting him. His lime-green eyes seemed to become dull, voided from any emotions and would ignore anything or anyone that would cause movement. He would continue to cough up blood every ten hours or so and would sometimes blackout from the pain that his heart would cause.
Still, all that had happened fifteen hours ago. Baron did grow worse, and whatever kindness he had suddenly vanished. His mind had shut down on him. He did recognize anyone anymore, and whatever dignity he had left inside him disappeared.
He went completely insane.
"BARON!!" Lune shouted as he watched one of the cat guards get thrown into the wall next to him. Muta and Toto were with him, trying to help the cats pin down the wild Creation to the floor, but who ever got too close to Baron would either get seriously injured or killed. Never have they seen Baron do such a thing before.
Lifting the blade diagonally in front of him, Baron let out a furious hiss before taking a step forward towards the small group of cats. Some of them backed up.
"Baron please! You don't want to do this!" Toto begged, trying to get Baron to snap out of his insanity. His only reply was being slap in the head by Muta.
"Stupid! That won't work on him anymore!" Muta hissed. Rubbing his head with one wing, Toto glared at the fat cat beside him.
"Well it was worth a shot!"
"It would do well if you both just be quiet! Your constant bickering won't help calm down Baron at all if you keep it up!" Lune hissed at them. Both of them fell silent and nodded their heads in agreement. Lune nodded back at them.
"Now Muta, can you try to take away the sword from Baron? If you can do that then maybe we will have a better chance at pinning him down."
Muta took a step toward the Creation. "It's worth a shot." He said before lunging himself at Baron.
Narrowing his lime-green eyes, Baron side stepped the attack before he swung the sword in his hands sideways at the fat cat, making the swords blade cut deep into Muta's back. Muta yowled painfully.
"Muta!" Lune shouted as he watched his friend fall to the ground.
"It's no use! Baron's too fast!" Toto said as he watched the orange and cream cat loom over Muta's fallen form. Baron prodded him with his foot before turning Muta's form over so he was lying on his back. With ears flattened and teeth bared, Baron raised his sword above him and Muta.
"NO!" Toto shouted as he started to race towards the two, but it was too late.
Baron swung his sword down.

Muta lazily rolled around on the chair he laid on as he stretched his body out to relieve himself of the sore muscles he was felling.
"So Chicky, what's up? Come back to see Baron or something?" he asked the brunette that sat in the chair beside him. The teen sighed.
"I wish I could but…I can't." Haru said. Muta rolled back onto his stomach and looked up at her.
"Why? Busy?"
"I guess."
Muta frowned. He knew she was lying. She REALLY wanted to see Baron badly, but for some reason she was keeping herself from coming to see him. Still, the question is why though? Suddenly it hit him like a ton of bricks and his eyes widened with disbelief.
"Do you love him?" he asked suddenly. Haru's eyes widened and felt her cheeks flushed in a noticeable shade of pink. She turned to him.
"Wha…what? Muta! Why do you say that?!"
"Well," he started, "…it's probably the best reason as to why you're not visiting him am I right?"
Embarrassed by the whole conversation, Haru turned her head away from the large white cat.
'Am I really in love with Baron?' she thought, not taking a notice of the large grin forming on Muta's face. Closing her eyes, the brunette place her hand over her racing heart and smiled.
"I guess…I am." she whispered.

Baron's howled with fury and pain when he felt something sharp dig into his arms, making him drop the sword to the ground with a loud 'clang'. The cat guards took this chance to swipe the blade away from the Creation before helping Toto pin him to the ground. Baron once again started to struggle furiously.
"Grab his legs!"
"I got one of his arms!"
"Keep him still!"
"He's being difficult!"
"Someone grab his other arm!"
"Got it!"
Toto backed off once the cat guards were able to grab hold of Baron and moved back to where Muta and Lune were standing. Lune sighed sadly and looked at the cats that were scattered around them on the floor. He started to count.
'Five dead and three wounded.'
Lune returned his sad gaze back at the struggling Creation before him. He's so lost. So lost to the point that he has gone to the brink of insanity and blood lust. This wasn't supposed to be this way. He had to do something to stop this madness.
'I'm sorry Baron but you give me no other choice…' he thought sadly as he tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to form in his eyes.
"Place him back in the bed and make sure he doesn't escape! Even if you have to chain him to the bed! I don't want a repeat of today ever happening again!" Lune shouted before making is way towards the library with Toto and Muta following after him.

"Hey Muta?"
"Hm? What is it Chicky?" Muta asked, stretching out on Haru's lap.
"You know how you asked me if I loved Baron?"
Muta grinned. "Yeah, what about it?"
Haru sighed. "It seems that every night I have dreams filled of what would happen if I were to live my life with Baron…"
"Really now?" Muta said with a yawn.
"…as a Creation like him."
Muta choked on that. "W…what?!"
Haru smiled.
"I know. Crazy right?" she said with a laugh.

Muta hissed in pain as a cat nurse Lune had sent in rubbed ointment all over the wound.
"Man you're lucky Baron didn't cut you deeper with that sword. He is pretty good at swordsmanship, even for a Creation." Toto commented as he watched the nurse place a bandage over the wound on his friends back.
"Oh shut up, Birdbrain." Muta mumbled. Lune shook his head.
"Still, it's sad to know that his insanity and blood lust is all because of Haru's death." Lune sighed and leaned back into the chair he was sitting on.
"It still doesn't help when we only got two more days to try and come up with something to make him happy once again."
"Yes but how?" Toto asked, "We already tried to come up with something for the past twenty four hours! How are we ever going to come up with something in the next twenty four more hours?!"
Lune hung his head in sadness.
"I…don't know."
It was Toto's turn to sigh.
"This is hopeless…"
SLAM!!
Startled by the unexpected noise, both Toto and Lune turned their heads towards the sound to find Muta glaring at them both. He wasn't happy at the least.
"Hopeless?! HOPELESS?! How can you say that when we haven't done anything to even try to help Baron! So what if we have two days! That doesn't mean that we can just sit around and do nothing just because it's all hopeless! Baron's state is getting worse and by giving up on all this help him get any better?! And what about Haru?! How do you think she would feel if she were to hear you give up?! Haru has trust us, believed in us, and if all we do is give up, all of Haru's faith in us will disappear!!"
Toto and Lune stared disbelievingly at Muta not because of his sudden outburst, but because of what he was saying to them was true. Both of them had tears streaming down their faces from the truthful and wise words Muta had said towards them. Even the cat nurse, who had eventually back away from the angered cat, had tears streaming down her own face. It took them a while for anyone of them to speak, but after a minute of silence, Lune spoke up.
"Muta's right. We can't give up now."
Wiping the tears away with his wing, Toto nodded his agreement.
"Who even knew that underneath all your fat that there was a good heart!"
"Shut it, Birdbrain!" Muta hissed.
"Well it's the truth!"
"Nothing's the truth when it comes to you and your Birdbrain ways!"
"Will you quit with the 'Birdbrain' already? I mean really! Even Haru could do better that you can at name calling!"
"Oh yeah?! I bet Haru could be better at being a Creation than you can!"
The room suddenly got quiet once again after Muta's statement. The idea struck them all hard in the head, making them all grin with satisfaction and happiness.
If Baron was a Creation, why not make Haru one?
Soon enough, a plan started to form in their heads.
This will work…
…and when it does, Baron will be happy again…
…so will Haru.
