“What happened?” She would ask, but if he didn’t want to answer she wouldn’t pry farther. Being a rather private person herself she wouldn’t push him in any way. Dez wouldn’t lecture him about skipping class either, not only was it not her place, she knew from personal experience that sometimes it was just impossible to be trapped in a room. Which is why Dez herself often could be seen wandering out and about when she had free time. At his comment about the cats bullying him, she placed a slender finger on her lips to refrain from laughing. It most certainly wouldn’t have been polite with how much it did frustrate him. “Well, I suppose it was a good thing I came along and rescued you from the bullying of those cats.” She teased. A joke? Perhaps her sense of humor wasn’t quite dead just yet.

     Without thinking, the cat was easy to open up. “I don’t really remember, I was just sitting in class when all of a sudden this girl confessed that she thought that I was cute, or handsomer than my cousin or whatever, and she made a really big deal out of it when all of a sudden...” 

     Miau. A few of the cats started crawling back to him. He yelled out in fury. 

     “Dammit! Forget about it! What are you tryin’ to do, make me look like some softie? Well it’s not gonna happen!”

ITS TIME TO PAY THE PIPER RAT BOY

“At least while I complete this degree.” She responded. “Although if I manage to find something career wise and I get a work visa I suppose it could be forever.” That was assuming the man she was running from didn’t learn she was currently living in Japan. A girl could hope.  Here she was, having a member of the cursed Zodiac speak with her and she wasn’t any the wiser. She was aware of the curse, but that was due to such absolute out of character clumsiness with the Dragon. “So what about yourself Kyo? What are you doing out and about today before you were attacked by cats?” Her expression softened once more. What a good day today was.

     “Huh. Okay.” 

     The story of how he got here? He can barely recall. All he can remember was being flustered back in class and wanting to run away, so he did. The park was the only place he thought of where it might have seemed natural to hang out with cats. Kinda stupid, wasn’t it?

While his appreciation sounded rather harsh, she had an inkling that he was a tad more appreciative than his gruff nature let on. Well, it didn’t really matter, she just got to pet a whole bunch of cats. She had genuinely zero complaints over the events that just transpired. “Oh. Well,” She began while leaving out the dramatic pieces of her story that she never told anyone ever. “I’m now attending a University here in Japan for art. My student visa came through, so I am no longer here just on vacation.”

Dez, as timid as she was, couldn’t feel even remotely intimidated by Kyo’s rage with all these cute felines around. She looked at him struggle-bussing and nodded at his request. Having to cuddle even more cats? How awful.  She helped Kyo peel the cats off, petting each one as she did so, and beckoned them away so Kyo wouldn’t be so stressed out. She looked over at him and gave a small smile. “Better?”

As mad as Kyo was, and as stoic as her expression usually happened to be, cute animals were this gothic young woman’s biggest weakness. Even she couldn’t help but have a very soft expression and a warm smile. She picked up a black cat with beautiful green eyes. “I wish I had cats fawn on me like they do you. Kyo, animals are very sensitive after all, I suppose they just know you’re a good person.”

“Kyo.. why are you surrounded by cats?” It had been some time since she saw the orange-haired individual, and she didn’t expect to run into him surrounded by so many felines. Other than the cats, the first time they met he yelled at her for staring too. She should probably work on that.
