rekindleme | [Open] Runaway Kitten!

Who: A kitten, his owner, and YOU
Where: All over the city
When: 2/23-2/28
Summary: Banchou the kitten loves to explore but doesn't know when to not go in certain areas. His owner isn't sure to be amused or groan.
Warnings: Kitten appears at random. No really.

If anyone knew Yu Narukami, they would see him as a dependable and maybe a little weird kid. He also happened to love cats and if he had his way, the apartment would be filled with them. But when a couple months ago brought little fuzzballs that at first made people get stuck and then was the fear of snow monsters, Yu had to have one. And one...just came up to him. Liked him immediately and the boy thought that if the little guy wanted to stay then he wouldn't mind.

But there was a problem: Banchou the kitten liked to explore. And when someone says explore, they mean somehow get out of the apartment and end up in the strangest places. Like a cabinet, a trash can, someone's shower, the list goes on. Now Yu would stop him from doing this if it wasn't for the fact that the little bugger was like a ninja and wasn't seen. And somehow even when he gets put in a cat carrier, he gets out without notice. Hence why the bugger needed a bell.

Sadly, this was one of those times when the kitten thought exploring would be a good idea. It might be bad for the other residents living in the city.

(OOC: Feel free to have Banchou be anywhere your character is. Yu will also be running around trying to find him as well. Get creative and meet a kitty!)

When he found not one, but two kittens curled up in the laundry pile in the corner of his room, he couldn't help but wonder just how Suna had ended up with a double. The mysterious newcomer was really friendly, but if they belonged to someone else, Sora wanted to find their rightful owner. He wasn't really sure where to start looking, though, and Suna was acting like she didn't want to give up her new friend anytime soon...

Well, it couldn't hurt to take them both for a walk, right? Sora wasn't sure if most people even walked cats - he had never had any pet before, except Dream Eaters (which didn't count, really), so this was all new territory for him. But Suna would follow him around the apartment building without wandering off or anything, so probably this cat would be just fine, too...right?

Anyhow, if Yu happens to be wandering around outside of the apartments, he'll find Banchou with a new friend following a weird spiky-haired short kid around.

Not many do walk cats since most of the time they just end up getting dragged around in the end. Now Yu was heading back to his apartment when he noticed that someone was walking a couple of kittens. It would be odd but not in this place; it's just another Tuesday apparently. But what caught Yu off guard was one of the kittens...it looked very familiar.

"Excuse me," he called out to Sora. "May I ask you about one of your kittens?"

Oh, yeah, that whole leash thing. Sora hadn't even thought about that. What do you mean cats wander off sometimes?

~~This is why his mom never let him have pets of his own.~~

Sora's luck stats are pretty fantastic, though - Suna just likes to follow him around outside, though unbeknownst to Sora she'll probably get sick of that in another week or so, and her new friend was cooperating for the moment, too. But he turns to Yu when he hears someone calling out to him, and shakes his head a little.

"Oh, only one of them is mine!" he says, pointing to Suna. "The other one just showed up in my apartment a little while ago."

Of course the other would just show up, maybe he ended up eating some fish off the counter or something like a derp. Yu really hoped not.

"I figured. Banchou has a habit of showing up in random spots."

At the sound of his name, Banchou did scurry over to Yu and starts crawling up his leg, only to have the teen scoop him up in his arms.

"I wasn't even sure how he got in, to tell you the truth." Sora said, smiling as he watched Banchou make a beeline for Yu. "But I'm glad it didn't take long to find his real home."

Suna, meanwhile, cautiously made her way over to Yu, circling around him as if investigating whether or not her new friend had a good human.

"I think Suna was starting to get attached, though."

Yu knelt down and held out his hand for Suna to sniff while Banchou crawled onto his shoulder.

"Thank you for being a good friend to him Suna."

Suna sniffs the hand for a few seconds, then rubs her head against it, demanding affection - which is probably the best sign of approval you're going to get from a cat, really.

"How do you think he got out, anyway? It's like these cats can walk through walls or something."

Which, really, would not be the strangest thing Sora had ever heard of in his life.

Alright kitty, you get pets too.

"I'm not sure. I've tried keeping him in his carrier for a bit only to find out that he somehow opened the door."

"I wonder if they're all that smart..."

Suna sure seemed to be, sometimes - she'd tried getting into trouble enough times already, that was for sure - but how could they tell?

Well, he could think about that more later. Sora smiles again, slouching and resting his hands behind his head.

"I'm glad I was able to help Banchou get back home safe, though."

"It's possible but maybe that's them and not from the scientists."

Best not to question how cats do what they do; sometimes the best kept secrets stay that way.

"Thanks for finding him. I don't think I got your name yet."

They'd probably never know...but as long as they don't get into (or cause!) too much trouble, what was there to worry about?

"It's Sora!" he replied. "What about you?"

...yeah, Banchou is pretty much screwed.

"I'm Yu Narukami. It's nice to meet you Sora."

"Yu? That's a funny name!" It almost beats out Neku Sakuraba in the silly name category, but loses points for not being quite as much of a mouthful.

"Well, if I ever see Banchou around again, I'll know where to take him! That is..." He looks down at Suna again, who meows in the general direction of her new cat friend, "If she lets me."

So is Sora but different opinions man. Yu could roll with it.

"Who knows, she might do the same as him."

More ninja cats...oh boy.
