Chapter 13: Physical

Brightly red from awkward embarrassment I gaze at Khloe "I-I mean… L-Like this?"

When I grab my tail and stare at it in unease she giggles softly "I'm sure she wouldn't mind, I mean you're still the same person. Outside you might have changed but not on the inside."

Overwhelmed by anxiety I sigh deeply while my focus remains on my rather soft black haired tail. "Maybe… From what I can remember she is very kind"

Smiling she nods "Good, then after you've eaten and done your physical, I'll see if we can contact her."

Still in unease I pull up my legs and bury my face between my knees while moaning softly "But… She'd be twenty now"

Outside of my field of view Zhloe returns and softly pats my head "I'm sure she'll understand, as for now eat something. As you've woken up not too long ago, I kept it simple: rice with grilled chicken and a skimmed cream sauce. Do you want a fork, spoon or chopsticks?"

Gazing at the bowl she's holding and sniffing the air, I nearly begin to drool. "Sticks please" Eagerly reaching out for the bowl she giggles before handing me the bowl and chopsticks.

Smiling she nods before walking back towards the kitchen, meanwhile I bring the bowl towards my nose to take a sniff, purring softly as it smells delicious. I want to take a bite out of the bowl only to get a rough tap on my head. "You got chopsticks Ma'am, you are still human so please try to suppress some of your instincts"

Brightly blushing I grab the chopsticks and quickly dig in causing Khloe to giggle and ruffle my hair.

Ignoring Khloe's constant giggling as I purr while eating I just enjoy the flavor. A few minutes later I'm finished and lower the bowl causing Khloe to look at her sister "I think she liked it"

Zhloe chuckles and wants to take the bowl from my hands which excites me so I hold it up "Seconds please!"

Kindly smiling she shakes her head "Sorry dear, but you have to take it slow, seeing you spent five years in treatment we're unable to determine how much you can handle right now."

With a soft sigh of disappointment I hand the bowl back before instinctively grooming my hand and washing my face.

"How do you feel?"

Looking up at Khloe she gives me a kind smile. "I'm not sure, horribly confused, rather ashamed but aside from that I guess I'm holding up?"

Wearing a kind smile Zhloe returns and leans on the couch "Glad to hear physically you're feeling fine, let me just finish a report and I'll take you to the gym for a physical"

Excited Khloe hops up "Let me do it!"

Shaking her head Zhloe walks towards the desk "Not happening, you might be my sister and I trust you with most things, but you're still an intern. If anything goes wrong Leone would be the one feeling the effects"

Softly sighing Khloe sits back down "Right… forgot about that"

Curious I look from one to the other "intern?"

Sitting behind the desk Zhloe lets the screen slide up. "Yes, Khloe is still too young to have a full time job and thus training."

Slightly taken aback I look back at Khloe "I see…"

Seeing my doubt she giggles "How old do you think I am?"

Taking a better look I turn my head "Hmm… seventeen? Eighteen? Possibly even nineteen?"

Both of them giggle and it's Zhloe who responds "She's actually about fifteen."

Baffled I gasp softly and look back at her sister "She is?!"

Once again giggling Khloe nods "Yep, became fifteen a few weeks ago"

[So that means she's about the same age as me?!]

Gazing at her mature figure before looking down and comparing it to my childish figure, I can't help but feel irked looking at the difference in curves. Comparing my runway with her medium but well endowed chest I suddenly feel my cheeks flush slightly.

"Ah… I see…" Slightly confused about my own feelings I look down at my knees before jumping up "So, when's the physical?"

Zhloe chuckles softly before standing up "Alright, Khloe could you proof read and check the report and if you agree with it all, send it?"

Nodding she stands up and while walking past me softly whispers "Cutie"

Instantly turning red I quickly walk to the door causing Zhloe to laugh before leading me out of the room. "Bit conflicted?"

Turning even brighter red causes her to chuckle "I'm just teasing, but do know that if there are feelings and it's mutual, relationships are allowed between employee and client. Just not for the team leader, yet if that were to happen another member would take over that role"

Embarrassed and mildly annoyed by her teasing I give her a soft shove yet she ends up crashing into the wall causing cracks to appear in the concrete. Immediately running towards her I can't help but tear up "Oh god, I'm sorry!"

Reassuring my with a hearty laugh she pats my head "It's fine, I'm sturdier than I look. Bit stronger than you thought?"

Confused I gaze at my hand and nod "Quite a bit… that was supposed to be a soft nudge"

Ruffling my hair she smiles wider "Good thing we're doing a physical then"

Following her through the halls I can't help but fret over what just happened. [How could I not judge my own power… I mean sure I've gotten stronger after the treatment, yet that shove was based on yesterday's strength…]

Suddenly realizing we've entered a different hallway I look up "Say isn't the gym the other way?"

Shaking her head she continues walking "That's the small one, we need appliances that aren't available there so we'll have to use the public one"

"Public?!" Freezing in my tracks I anxiously gaze at her curious expression "Does that mean there are others there?"

Shrugging she smiles "No idea, but it'll be fine, come"

Reluctantly following her through the halls which end up in a wide double sliding door. Once they slide open and we enter a voice echoes. "Zhloe!"

Smiling she looks towards a bench press "Hey there Happy, hey Felix, been a few days since we've seen each other. How was the mission and more importantly how's the progress?"

Following her gaze I see a young man in his early twenties sitting up. Half-long black hair, jade colored eyes and a kind expression instantly make me feel at ease. After he stands up I see he's about 1.90 meters high and although quite lean, he's incredibly muscular which is accentuated by his black body suit. Excited he smirks at Zhloe "Three-hundred twenty!"

Gasping Zhloe gazes at the girl named Happy "You're kidding?!"

Shaking her head causes a long black ponytail to wave around which in turn draws my attention to her thin and fair skinned face. She looks to be around the same age as the man yet is much shorter at about 1.65 meters. Her eyes are a bit too dark to see their color yet accentuated by mascara and eyeliner she looks like an ancient goddess from the area once known as the Orient. She's wearing tight black leggings underneath a short and tight skirt, a dark red shirt over which she wears a black rider's jacket with red accents.

Once she replies, her entire face lights up showing a kind and excited smile. "No we're not, he's actually repeatedly done attempts most of which ranged between three-ten and three-twenty-two"

Baffled I gaze their way "Y-You mean kilos?!"

Their nods make Zhloe chuckle "You might be baffled now, but I'm actually curious to see what you're able to do Leone"

Slightly red I gaze down at my feet which causes Felix to chuckle. "She named you after Leone then?"

With a faint nod I don't avert my gaze but can't help but slowly wag my tail from embarrassment which in turn causes both of them to gasp "You…"

Zhloe nods and gently places her hand on my head "She has a perfect balance"

Blushing brighter from standing in the spotlight causes Happy to chuckle and smile "She does look incredibly similar to the paintings of Leone"

Zhloe nods once more before giving them a kind smile "She does indeed, but for now, just give us some room. She's still a bit self conscious"

Smiling Felix sits and lies back down on the bench "Sure thing, I'll try and see if I can break my three-twenty-four record"

Happy excitedly nods "You can do it!"

In turn Zhloe gently grabs my hand and pulls me with her towards another treadmill "This one has been specifically made for the physical elites among us, which includes clients, but also employees like Danny or Felix. Let's see how far you can push it."

With an insecure nod I get on the near two and a half meter long belt and begin to walk which quickly turns into running.

"Keep going, you're doing great"

The belt keeps moving faster and faster yet surprisingly I can easily maintain the speed, in fact I'm still accelerating.

A couple of minutes later I notice both Felix and Happy have joined Zhloe's side.

When Felix sees me he smiles "Keep going, you can do it!"

"Keep pushing, push until you feel like you've hit the limit and try to push even further. Focus, let your instincts take over."
