Fuji saluted as he was given the task from the task giver at the desk. It was a relative snore, to be honest, Fuji had decided that he needed to leave his puppet at his home, so that he could sneak effectively, which appeared to be the general prerequisite of the mission. Fuji's deductions lead him to believe that the cat would be at ground level, probably in an alleyway. From the description he had received, he could only deduce that it was well groomed. This deduction was made due to the size of the reward suggesting it belonged to a rich family.

Because Fuji was so good at deductions, he had actually picked out which alleyway he was looking for relatively quickly. "Target sighted," he would whisper to himself. It was definitely Mr. Snuggly, because it was very well groomed, like hair brush to the fur well groomed. Fuji would walk up to the cat, who was asleep, quietly of course, and would casually pick it up with both hands. He got a good look at its face, and that was an error, as it looked really really grumpy, and was now awake. It's claws extended, and it would rapidly flail around its claws removing Fuji's grip, and fleeing. Fuji, now in a huff, would have to follow it. He would take to the roofs for a better vantage point, but the darn cat was gone. "Well then, I believe this is war, my feline friend," he would comment.

For a moment, he had to deduce what the cat would do. It was a matter of prediction now, and he needed to predict where that cat was before some dogs got to it. Fuji would kneel down, and wrap his arms around his legs, staring thoughtfully into the distance, "Where would I go if I wanted a quiet place to be...?" The park? No... There would be too much rabble there. Maybe just another alleyway? No, that didn't work before it couldn't possibly work now, cats were supposed to be simple. As he would deduce, his eyes would blaze around the area, searching for some kind of deeper meaning to everything.

That was a minor issue Fuji had and always would have, he would always try to make sense of things first, then act. By now the cat could have been long gone, and it would have taken him hours to find it again anyways. But there was always that moment when you think for just a moment, that you are overthinking things. And that was where Fuji got his next big hint... The cat was sleeping right next to him on the rooftop. Fuji would get a shocked look about him, but then he would smile, and pick the cat up, now cradling it. He would hop down from the roof and be humming as he would make his way to turn it in.

Suddenly, the eeriest feeling washed over him, and he felt that the cat was awake. Claws flew wildly once more, and Fuji wound up on the ground, as the cat would charge up the nearest tree, which just so happened to be a very tall Oak Tree. The cat playfully knocked acorns from the branch to peg Fuji in the head. Fuji's eyes practically ignited with fury. He wouldn't think anymore, and he would begin attempting to climb the tree with his hands and feet, as he slid haphazardly up the tree, he would get clocked with another acorn, and fall to the ground. His eyes only looked up scornfully, as another acorn soon followed.

The rather depressing, but still funny as hell scene continued for a few more minutes, before the cat, realizing it was stuck, began letting out a loud meowing sound. Kind of like a cry for help. Fuji was half about to just leave it there, but he would remember his mission, and figured it was now a prime opportunity to earn the cat's trust and turn it in. "I'm coming, Mr. Snuggly. Just wait right there, and hey, maybe you could dull your claws for me, huh?" Fuji would climb up the tree, no longer being pelted by acorns, and within a minute or so, he would be on the cat's branch. He would pick up the scared as hell cat, and look around.

"How to get down?" Fuji would ask himself. He saw a building that was just within jumping distance, and it had stairs down to the first floor. Fuji would step a few feet back, and he would get a running start, then leap from the branch to the top of the roof. He would smile as he now had stable footing, and he would take the stairs. Around half an hour later, he turned the cat in for his prize. Needless to say, Fuji doesn't like cats all that much anymore.
