I Am A Cat!! - Autoplay!!

Ah, of course she was going to be difficult about something like this. She wasn’t wearing any clothes…and even so, Minato couldn’t be bothered to push further. He didn’t feel that strongly about it anyway…at least not as strongly as some others would feel. As he resigned himself to the fact that there was no way he could currently get her to wear anything, the slight pink color that had adorned his cheeks faded. He still was unsure if he could meet her eyes though. “You won’t…? That’s fine.” With a small, defeated sigh, Minato put his hoodie back on and zipped it back up with an indifferent expression. He had no interest in trying to reason with a girl who didn’t seem like she could be reasoned with. Bribery would probably work better.

“Neko is Neko and Neko is a cat,” he repeated under his breath, trying to make sense of the odd saying. Neko is Neko…so her name was Neko, and she was…a cat? No, even if that was her name, why would she be a cat? Unless of course, she was a strain. Shizume had no shortage of strains, and most people he came across these days seemed to be one of the strange beings affected by the slates. Minato was the same, and yet he couldn’t help but think that he had gotten the short end of the stick. Turning into a cat as he presumed Neko could do seemed like a much more fun and useful ability than the one he had been saddled with.

He had already begun to feel frazzled due to the girl’s energy and child-like nature that left him feeling like an unfortunate babysitter, but it only worsened as time went on. He was fairly certain that he had stated his name clearly, and yet she addressed him with the carefree and casual nickname of ‘Blueberry-kun’. Not only that, but he had hoped to at least share his snacks, but it seemed like she was hungry…or something. So much for that. “…Here,” he stated, cautiously reaching out to place the sleeve of crackers into her hand. They were hers now, and he had no expectation to get them back.

More importantly, where were they? He was worried about going without food or drink for too long, so that was his main motivation for figuring out their current situation. Looking away from the girl, his tired eyes looked across the roof of the building they were on and saw…really nothing, except other tall buildings, all connected by…bridges. Logically speaking, the easiest thing to do would be to go inside and make their way to the ground floor so they could actually figure out where they were. 

“Neko…san, we should head down…what do you think?” He asked with a bit of hesitation, as if he was sure the question was useless and she wouldn’t give him a useful response.

Neko would have been relieved that he didn’t push the clothing issue with her if she wasn’t currently preoccupied with his offer of food. Neko wiggled her fingers as she waited for him to plop the crackers down into her hands, accepting the sleeve as though it were the holy grail. The packaging troubled her though, as generally she had issues opening things like that up without making a huge mess.

 “Blueberry-kuuun..” she whined, blinking up at him with a pleading gaze. “Open it, open iiittt..!!” She held out the sleeve, motioning for him to take it back and open it, knowing she’d tear it open in her excitement and the crackers would go flying everywhere. Shiro had tried to teach her patience when it came to that, but had sighed and simply opted to open certain things for her instead. 

As she waited for movement, the male questioned her without meeting her eyes. His expression was inquisitive yet tired. “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling good?” She stopped pushing the crackers at him and peered up at him, worry warping her expression into one of concern. “Does Blueberry-kun want to nap? Ok! Neko will nap too! But then afterwards we can play hide and go seek! Or eat!” 

For now, she pressed the crackers back into his hands. She wanted to eat them but it could wait. Besides, she could eat them once they were inside. She stepped behind the male and wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, a puff of smoke poofed into existence and a tiny pink kitten lay flopped over his shoulder. Neko hung off of him lazily, her whiskers tickling his cheek.

“Yeah, no worries,” Nobu grinned, pleased to see the other girl so happy. Wasn’t that the most important part of sharing food? There were plenty of snacks anyway, and if the girl was still hungry after, it was easy to just head to the nearest convenience store and buy some more. Money wasn’t really an issue there either. Well, she’d worry about that bridge when it came to it, but for now, she was happy to see the other enjoying herself so much. “Haha, thanks!” she grinned, tilting her head slightly. “This Shiro person must be pretty awesome to be even better than me!”

She had no idea who the energetic girl was talking about, but it was clear the girl cared about him a lot. Perhaps the bond between clansmen? Though if anything, she supposed this Shiro could also be a King. Or maybe even neither. The only one here who’d know for sure was the girl in front of her. 

Nobu paused at the question though, a light laugh leaving her lips at the nickname “Shades”, knowing that could likely be only one person. “You could say that,” she smiled, propping her chin up on her hand as she leaned against the bar. “I’m a new member of Homra. I mean, I’m still gettin’ to know everyone but I definitely consider them all precious friends already.” Granted, Homra was a large clan, so it was definitely a little slow but that was fine. She had plenty of time.

“Well, out of everyone though, I probably spend the most time with Yata. He’s like my senpai, and he’s pretty fun to tease.” Her eyes sparkled mischievously as she spoke, thinking back to her first meeting with Homra’s vanguard. Even now it was still too funny.

“What about you? Tell me about this Shiro of yours.”

Neko inserted yet another pocky stick into her mouth, chewing it like a squirrel chewing on a nut. She regarded Sunny with her wide mismatched eyes, letting her speak while she happily partook in the sweet snack. “Another Homra?” she questioned, her head tilting to the side, her long, light pink hair falling to the side as she did. “Neko and Homra go waaaaaay back!” With half a stick of pocky protruding from her mouth, Neko raised her arms, her hands close together and then pulled them wide apart as if the gesture would show the extent of time. She regarded Homra favorably. 

“Yata.. Yata... Yata.....” she placed a finger to her lips, pressing the rest of the pocky stick into her mouth and chewed thoughtfully. Who was Yata again? When it came to a Homra that was fun to tease, would she be referring to the shorter male with the fiery temperament? “Oh! Do you mean the one that shouts a lot?” Neko gave a knowing smile and nodded, eyes lighting up in remembrance of the male she’d exchanged words with many times. 

“Beanie-kun! Right? Beanie-kun helped Neko and Kurosuke rescue Anna!” Though now that she thought about it had it been the other way around? Anna was a precious friend then. Maybe it was more apt to say they had all helped each other. “It was really fun! Kurosuke was like whap! And Beanie-kun was all like WHAM! And then Neko was all Nyahahaha! Aaaaand took the green masks out!” The girl gestured animatedly as she recalled the memory, giving very vague commentary on the whole ordeal.

“And then Anna became King and she had these huuuuuuuuuge sparkly wings! Anna-chan’s a badass!” Saying that, Neko’s wiggly fingers hovered over one of the boxes of pocky as she decided on the strawberry and plucked it, sliding it between her lips. Instead of taking her time with this one as she had the others, she bit down on it eagerly. At the mention of her King she would gladly stop eating to sing his praises. 

Nobu’s grin widened, unable to keep herself from laughing. “Yeah, exactly! It’s pretty funny seeing someone’s surprised expression when you snatch the piece of meat they were gunning for! Well, I do feel a little bad if I take something they were saving for last, like their favorite.” Like a strawberry on top of a slice of cake or something. Well, she only did that in rare cases. Usually because Chacha was being a brat or Hideyoshi had pissed her off. It was kind of fun to have someone who really understood when it came to food. 

“You don’t need to thank me, I’m always happy to share my food with someoen who appreciates it,” the dark haired girl remarked. She couldn’t help but smile at the enthusiasm with which the other wolfed down the pocky, making it look every bit as tasty as it was. There were always people that ate food, no matter what kind it was, so enthusiastically that it made it seem all the more delicious. Nobu picked out another stick for herself and began to munch on it, amusement flickering in her eyes as the girl eyed the pocky as though she wanted more. 

Well, that was fine by Nobu. She had plenty more stashed where she could easily find it, and besides, the other girl looked so sad about it. Carefully, Nobu nudged the boxes closer to her. “Go ahead and have as much as you want. I can always get more.” Not that filling up on snacks was a good thing, but somehow she got the feeling it wouldn’t be an issue. 

“Good food should be shared, y’know? Well, I say that but the only thing I’m really good at cooking is barbecue.”

“Mhm! Mhm!” This girl totally gets it! Did that mean that the next time they ate they’d be stealing from each other’s plate? Neko held up a finger to her chin in thought but then smiled her cat-like smile, ultimately deciding that that’d actually be pretty amusing. Maybe soon they’d find out whenever Anna decided to return with what Neko had just assumed was food from the get go. 

“I can have more? Really!?” Her expression morphed from sadness to joy. There was a twinkle in her mismatched eyes as she balled her fist and thrust her hands into the air. “Yay! Sunny is the best! Well, Shirou is the best best! But Sunny is the best!” She cemented her feelings towards her King aloud even if the other had no idea what she was talking about, as if the silver haired male was present.

Neko set her hands down and immediately turned her attention towards the pocky, her fingers moving dexterously into each box to grab one of each flavor and lined them up on the bar in front of her. “Let’s see... Let’s see!” She rubbed her hands together and plucked the chocolate first, setting it between her teeth and making a very pleased and drawn out hum of approval.

Minato had no memory of what he had been doing before the fall. All he knew is that he was suddenly falling through the sky, despite being incredibly sure of the fact that he hadn’t been on top of a building or in a helicopter or anything of the sort that day. Maybe he should’ve had a stronger reaction, but his mind wasn’t really processing the situation. The only sound he let out was a gasp as he turned his head to try and figure out was going on. Naturally, the only thing he could see was sky, and a girl. Wait, a girl? And she was talking to him? “Hair?” He repeated after her with a bewildered expression, unaware of the fact that they were doomed to soon collide with the ground below.

He became incredibly aware of the impending danger the moment the girl’s arms wrapped around him, making him aware of the fact that she had no clothes on. It was a strange situation to say the very least, but he couldn’t make any sense of their situation the way things were. They floated to the ground with relative ease, except the ‘ground’ wasn’t truly the ground. It was the top of what seemed to be a skyscraper. 

Once he was released, he got a better look at who she assumed to be a clansmen or a strain of some kind. His first priority was her clothing, or rather lack of thereof. She didn’t seem concerned about it in the slightest, but Minato couldn’t even look her in her eye like this. Her usual composed expression remained, although his cheeks were dusted pink. If one wasn’t paying close attention, they likely would have never noticed. “…Could you wear this for now?” The male removed his black, zip up hoodie and held it out to the girl, praying that she’d take it and wear it, even if it would only cover her up a little. He wasn’t tall or large so he doubted it would be too oversized, if oversized at all.

Her sudden barrage of questions caught him off guard, his lips parted slightly in surprise as he tried to recall each one. “My name is…Minato Arisato..I’ve never seen this place before…I don’t have anything to drink. Sorry.” Even without any drink, he did have snacks. Reaching into his pants pocket, he slowly pulled out a sleeve of crackers. “…I have food though.” 

Food wasn’t what she wanted, was it? Still, he didn’t know where to find a drink around here…she’d have to wait until he could figure something out. Maybe she could figure something out too, but it seemed her attention bounced from one thing to another. “Who are you?” He asked her, even though he thought this had to be a dream. Koromaru didn’t seem to be around, and even weirder, he didn’t hear or see any of the spirits he usually did going through his everyday life. It was…quiet, and kind of peaceful. Less going on. Less to cloud his mind. Maybe this kind of world was one better for him to remain in. 

“Hm?” Neko tilted her head at his words, her mismatched eyes trailing down to the hoodie he held out and her expression immediately soured. “Don’t wanna!” She pouted, turning her nose up at it and closed her eyes. Greeeaat, was this guy going to be another Kurosuke and force her to wear clothes? She couldn’t understand why everyone wanted her to wear clothes so bad. She did it if Shiro begged and rewarded her but even then she was extremely picky about the types of clothing she would wear. 

Hearing that the male had food, however, Neko immediately turned her head and planted her gaze back on him, her eyes wide as he pulled out crackers. “Food! Yay! Neko’ll take it!” It wasn’t a drink but Neko would never refuse food. She held out her hands to receive the food from him and bounced up and down on her heel as she could hardly stand still and contain her excitement.

That was something Nobu could definitely agree with. Meals were always better when enjoyed in good company. Well, she’d vastly prefer having meals with friends over a majority of her family most of the time. “You’re right about that,” she agreed, nodding sagely. “Good company makes food even better, you know? Like even if you had a bowl of really good ramen, it’s not as fun eating by yourself when you’ve got good people you can enjoy it with! That’s why hotpot is one of my favorites!” But..well, it was the wrong season for that.

Still, she was kind of glad to be able to converse someone that seemed to like food as much as she did, even sharing the same sentiments about eating with other people. Maybe for her it was because there were many times growing up when it would just be her and Nobukatsu at the table while their parents were busy… Well, no use dwelling on it!

She couldn’t help but laugh at the girl’s indecision though. Seriously, how relatable! “Haha! I get you, I get you! It’s hard to choose just one, right? That’s why I always get a bunch of flavors!” She grinned and fished out the other packets, easily opening them and setting them out on the counter. “How about all three then? A snack between friends!”

“Yes! Yess!!” Neko replied giddily to the ramen comment. “And then you can pick off someone’s plate!” She said that all too happily for someone who got scolded for doing that a lot.. Shiro was much more lenient but meanie Kurosuke always complained! She still did it anyways. 

“Yaaaaaaaay!” Neko thrust her fists into the air as Sunny offered her the other flavors, a wide, excitable smile on her face as she dipped her fingers into the chocolate pocky first. “Pocky! Pooooockyyy~!” She did a short little jingle and then stuck the stick in her mouth, biting into it so fast one couldn’t be sure she had even savored it. 

“It’s good! Thanks, Sunny!” And then she dipped into the banana.. then the strawberry.. wolfing them down within seconds. “Mmmm...” She still wanted more. She always had a bad habit of taking more than she was allowed and Kuroh had drilled it into her head to have appropriate manners, something of which Shiro agreed with but he was much less mean about it! If not for Kurosuke she’d happily do it for Shiro!

“Wha!?” He couldn’t comprehend this girl! She looked like she was his age but she was acting like a really young child. He sighed, planting a hand to his forehead as he steadied his racing thoughts. He had been in such a hurry to get towards his job that he let out all his frustration out on her. Man, how childish. Even if she was basically the same age.. Guess she was just a kid. I mean, she acted like one. Might as well treat her as one. 

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to be mean.” He didn’t think he had been in all honesty but whatever helped to diffuse the situation. The blonde folded his arms and watched her look forlornly down the alley as she whined about her food. “Well, I don’t have any money and I don’t know where the cat went but maybe all hope isn’t lost.” He had a thought and it was a long shot but it was better than nothing. 

“C’mon, I’ll take you to where you can get another fish.” He gestured for the girl to follow him so he led her down the alley and walked a ways until they’d reached a waterway. It was just a river with no gate or railings to keep anyone out. A couple of people were seated along the hill and looking out into the sparkling waters but instead of stopping Zeke walked right down to the bottom where the only thing dividing the water from the grass were all the rocks and pebbles. 

“Check it out! We can catch our own fish! Smart, right?” He grinned as he placed his hands on his hips and admired the water. Well, the only problem was they didn’t have proper fishing tools. “I don’t suppose you got something to catch fish with though, huh?” Zeke cupped a hand to his chin and thought as he gazed upwards into the blue of the sky, as if the cloudless, sunny day would break through the fog in his mind. “I guess we could old school it and make a spear. Whaddya got?” He dropped his hand and turned his gaze back to the girl.

Neko’s eyes moved from the end of the empty alley and back onto the blonde. She still looked quite sad, but was a little taken aback by the male’s apology. Neko listened to him speak and was intrigued by the idea even if she was still a bit skeptical. “Are we gonna go get more fish?” she wondered aloud but tagged along anyways. 

When they reached the waterway Neko’s eyes finally lit up. The hill looked so expansive and it made her want to run through it! “Whoa! The water is all sparkly sparkly!” She threw her hands up into the air and cheered, twirling while the blonde wandered down to the water and once she was done celebrating she chased after him. 

“Sounds like fun! Hey, hey! Let’s see who can catch the most fish!” She wasn’t too worried about having something to catch the fish with as she kicked off her heels and rushed into the water, her feet wet. She stood there with her feet planted firmly and then raised her hands, her focus on the water as she waited for the fish. “C’mon little fishies! Fishies!” Considering that she’d just wandered in, no fish were present, probably scared and had scattered off. 

Neko was determined to catch at least one. No maybe three! Then she could share one with Kuroh and Shiro! No wait, they’d definitely need enough for seconds! And maybe thirds too! She hummed happily, her tongue sticking out to one side as she waited and concentrated. Finally, the fish seemed to think it was safe given that nobody was any longer moving around and Neko readied herself, waiting for the fish to curiously wander up when she pounced. 

@soulphrxse​

Neko had just gotten out of the shower when it all happened. She was content to just clean herself the normal way (which was only normal for an actual cat and not a human girl) but both Kurosuke and Shiro had insisted she start taking showers or baths. Something about how she was starting to smell like saliva. She didn’t get it but if it’s what Shiro wanted she’d do it! Now was the time when she got one of the two to towel dry her hair. “Shiro~!” she called out as she stepped out of the shower room and into their room clothed in nothing but a towel.

All it took was one step and the ground seemed to cave in under her feet and then gobble her up. Her eyes widened as at first she fell into a black scenery and then suddenly was surrounded by the blue sky. Naturally, her towel went flying off as the wind whipped her hair around her. Was this some new way of getting her hair dried? “Wheeeee!” She shouted, giggling despite the fact that any normal person would have worried over what would come at the end of their fall. 

When she turned her head to look she noticed someone falling beside her. “Heeey! Are you getting your hair dried too?” Falling was fun she decided but it seemed like their trip was about to end. Thankfully she wasn’t entirely stupid. She swam over to the blue haired boy just before they came crashing down, wrapping her arms around him from the side. Her body emanated a silver glow and their fall ceased as they floated down safely to the ground. 

She soon let him go then pranced around on top of the building, thrusting her fists into the air. “I’m dry! Yay!” She celebrated cheerfully, seemingly unbothered by the fact that she had no idea where she was. At least Kurosuke wasn’t here to scold her for not having any clothes on but at least this time it wasn’t on purpose. She ran over to the ledge of the skyscraper and peered down to the bottom. They were so high up!

“Because you were hurting me! Haven’t you heard of personal space?!” All this weird, random girl did was nag, nag, nag. Forget this, he had stuff he had to do. He didn’t have time to linger out here. Just as he began to walk away he felt a harsh tug at his scarf which whipped him backwards and nearly made him choke. 

“Would you stop hurting me already!? What’s with you?!” He slapped the girls hands away and off his scarf then rubbed at his throat. “Why are you so obsessed over this? Just go buy another fish or something!” It was clearly a fish the thieving cat was holding, right? Honestly, he would have bought it himself if he had any money, but his owner didn’t like paying him at all. To them just having his life was enough of a payment. 

“Rrrrrrgh!” Neko pouted as she was scolded by the blonde haired youth. It reminded her a lot of her exchanges with Kurosuke. She even practically hissed as he slapped her hand away. “What’s with you?!”She demanded, returning his question right back at him. “You’re being a meanie! Meanie! Meanie mean!” 

Much like how the other was growing fed up with his childish and selfish antics, Neko was getting fed up with his selfish and rude behavior. She pouted for a moment, her arms crossed over her chest as she turned her nose upwards and looked away from him. Her anger quickly dissolved as she caught herself staring down an empty alley with no cat in sight. 

dairokutenheir:

“I have no idea,” Nobu answered honestly. Anna had said it was a visit so she doubted it was food–but then again, maybe it was a restaurant? Well, that was kind of a weird name for one though, wasn’t it? “It could be a restaurant, I guess. Kusanagi-san was going with her so maybe there was something she really wanted to eat?” Maybe it was something she’d understand if she had been part of the clan longer. Oh, she could just ask Yata later, couldn’t she?

A grin tugged at her lips at the girl’s bright energy, finding it pretty contagious. “Yeah? You must have a pretty big appetite. Can’t say I don’t understand that though. Sometimes when you find really good food, you really just can’t help but eat til you’re stuffed!” She was the worst when it came to fried rice and barbecue in particular.

“Ohh, friends? That’s good. I’ll admit I was kinda worried when I first joined because she’s so young but I’m pretty glad she’s surrounded by lively people.” That meant Anna definitely had people around her she could count on. That was a relief. Still, how did someone that young even become a King?

She blinked, glancing down to the box of pocky as if she’d forgotten it was even there. “Ah, yeah, I have some snacks,” she answered with a smile. “I always bring some with me just in case.” Well, also because she knew a certain family member of hers would eat them if she just left anything laying around at home. “I have a couple different flavors–what do you like best? Strawberry, banana, or chocolate?”

“Ba-sa-shi~ Ba-sa-shi~” The pink haired teen sang as she envisioned Anna’s return with food. Maybe it was some kind of sushi? Or meat? Whatever it was Neko would enjoy it! The pink haired youth giggled.

“Mhm! Food is great! Especially when you eat with people you like! Kurosuke normally makes really good food! But Kurosuke and Shiro went to do do stuff and Kurosuke fed Neko and Shiro but thinking about food is making me hungry again!” One would think Neko was being starved but she was just a glutton. It had been hard for her to get food for a long time so now whenever she had the opportunity to eat she wouldn’t miss out. It was a wonder how she stayed so thin. Probably from all the playing and running around she did.

ducttaped​:

“Whoa!” Zeke let out a yell as the pink haired female crashed into him and knocked him flat onto his back, causing his head to harshly meet pavement. He certainly saw stars and it took a moment for him to get his bearings as he reached back to rub the back of his head, hissing between gritted teeth. As if the pain wasn’t already enough he soon after felt something jab right into his stomach. 

“Oof?!” His eyes snapped open and his offender had pushed herself up in such a way that it explained the additional pain to his stomach. Who jumped like that on someone?! Seriously!! “What are you– a cat?!” He commented, noting the position in which she’d put herself as he swept his hand under her to topple her off of him.

He wanted to handle himself more gingerly considering all the pain he was in but the faster he got to his feet the better. Who knew when the next time the cat girl decided to use him as a pin cushion would be. Zeke rolled over onto his stomach then pushed himself up with his knee then carefully got to his feet, his eyes following the direction in which the other girl was pointing to. She expected him to catch a cat?!

“What?! Go catch it on your own! I’m busy!” It’s not as though he was back here fooling around. His owner didn’t just let him out to roam freely with his handcuffs loose. If he didn’t get back to work they’d lock them back and then it’d be lights out for him. 

“Whoa! Hey!!” Neko rolled off of him and onto the ground but she was quick to jump back onto her feet and she was back up faster than the boy who had pushed her. “Why did you push me, Scarf-kun?!” Ahh now wasn’t the time to get up in arms about that! “More importantly my food!!” In their scramble to get back up the cat had disappeared.

“Nyaaaaagh!!” Neko was frantic and frustrated at this point. “I tried to catch him but Scarf-kun got in the way! It’s Scarf-kun’s fault my meal got away!” She grabbed his scarf, clutching it as if it were a leash to tether him to her so he wouldn’t escape if he tried. 

dairokutenheir​:

The forceful opening of the door made her jump, cracking the stick of pocky she was currently munching on in half. She’d gotten used to seeking out the comfort of the bar when things got stressful at home. Well, it was nothing serious, just her father talking about the future of things as he usually did without asking her opinion or what she wanted. But that was fine, she could escape to this quiet bar before it opened and she could decompress just sitting there with a snack and game. Or a magazine. Heck, she could probably curl up on one of the big couches in the other room and take a nap if she needed to. 

Though as usual, she’d settled at the bar to eat her pocky while she browsed around on her phone. Which brought her to the current moment, watching the unfamiliar girl come on in, calling out for Anna. The vibrant energy…actually reminded her of a relative.

Once she seemed to realize Anna wasn’t there, Nobu found herself the target of the girl’s attention–and a new nickname. She blinked. “Sunny?” she repeated, before a loud laugh left her lips. “That’s a new one! Well, I don’t mind either way, so it’s fine,” she nodded sagely. As long as it wasn’t anything weird, like some kind of vegetable, she could deal. 

Her question made her pause–though she recognized the marble as one like Anna often seemed to use. Wait, where had Anna said she was going? She rubbed her chin, brows furrowed as the wheels of her mind slowly began to turn, her eyes shut. “Hrrm…she was here when I got here, but she said she wanted to go visit uhh…” Shit, what was it? 

“Ba…Basashi?” Was that right? She felt a little bad she couldn’t remember exactly what the young king had said but the fact of the matter was, she wasn’t there right then. “I don’t think I’ve seen you here before though, so I’m guessing you’re not part of Homra?” 

“Basashi?” Neko clasped her hands behind her back and leaned to the side, her hair falling to the side as she regarded Sunny with her cat like smile and curious eyes. “What’s that? Some kind of food? It sounds yummy!” 

Neko skipped closer to the girl and plopped down into one of the bar stools next to the raven haired girl. “That’s fine! I’ll wait for Anna to come back with Basashi!” She visibly drooled at the thought of whatever food it could be that Anna was out to get. “I hope she brings back enough for seconds and thirds!” 

She kicked her feet back and forth but all that resulted from that was her knees hitting into the side of the bar creating a staccato of noise that if it hadn’t been so subtle would probably border on annoying. The young girl was visibly excited and kept making excited noises to match as she happily envisioned eating something savory with her friend. “Nope! I’m friends with Anna!”

@ducttaped​

“Heeey!! Stop him!! He stole my food!” Neko’s high pitched voice rang out, bordering on a whine as she ran through the crowd of people from the outdoor seating area her and Kukuri had been seated at. She had just ordered a delicious teriyaki bowl with a large sauteed fish on the side but before she had a chance to dig in it had been stolen! 

She rounded the corner to an alleyway, the heels of her pink mary janes scraping against the concrete as she steeled herself then pivoted on. Running in these shoes was so inconvenient! That’s what she thought as she clumsily chased after the thief and then as if Lady Luck was mocking her, she tripped over a piece of trash. It was hard to catch her footing in heels and so she managed to crash right into the blonde who was in her way. 

Neko wasn’t very heavy and the fact that her chest was rather large and soft probably caused no discomfort to the male she’d crashed into, but gravity still took its course and knocked him onto his back, subsequently taking the girl down as a result. Neither one of them had a comfortable fall. The male was all muscle and bones.. Not all comfy, soft, or warm like her Shiro! But that wasn’t the point here! The thief was getting away!

@dairokutenheir​

“Anna~!” Neko called out cheerfully after barging through the doors at bar Homra with enough force to make Kusanagi shudder. Her lips were, as usual, curled into a smile, her mismatched eyes wide and twinkling with excitement. It had been a while since she last came to Homra to play. She would have preferred to stay on the school island by Shiro’s side but he had business to take care of and Neko didn’t mind playing with the snow haired youth.

She scanned the room but found no sign of anyone except for a raven haired girl whose black and red themes seemed to tie in with the bar in a way. The bar was such a warm and inviting color. It made her want to curl up and nap in the sunlight that streamed in from the window. Neko decided to ignore the other girl for now as she had a one track mind and once more called out for her target. “Anna! Anna! Come out and play~!”

Silence. “Hmmmmmmmmm..” The girl pouted and finally turned her attention towards the raven haired girl, her mismatched eyes immediately drawn to the cap adorning her head. The motif on it was so ornate and shiny and reminded her of the sun. “Sun, sun, sun.... Sunny!” She decided right then and there that’d be her nickname and addressed her thusly as she closed the distance between them.
