#Plus a kitty mokuba

(I’ve been volunteering at a cat shelter so my brain is full of cats. Also for some reason I really like it when Kaiba is a cat, so what better way to shake off the rust from a couple of weeks of no writing? Here we go.)

Seto does not usually take this route on his walks. Strays tended to congregate more freely in alleyways where trash got overlooked. Animal control was less stringent than in nicer neighborhoods, which was a plus, but the same could not always be said for the residents in the area. Old Tanaka on his porch was more likely to throw heavy objects than Miriko-San in her cute penthouse.

But, well, Seto has little choice today. His usual route had garnered some...inconvenient attention, and he'd been forced to take a detour. As it had been said, animal control could be a bit of a nuisance in a nice neighborhood, and Seto is not keen on ending up in the pound for the evening.

Skipping his walk isn't an option, either. Spending a minimum six hours a week in animal form was necessary to keep a shifter's body healthy, a fact which Seto had drilled into Mokuba's head many a time before. Seto refuses to be called a hypocrite over a minor upset in routine.

Still, this area is...unpleasant. He has to resist the urge to shake his paws on every step, disgusted by the grimy trash stains splattered over the asphalt. He wrinkles his nose as he passes an apartment undeniably belonging to a smoker, and tries not to pay attention to the filth lining the bottom of the brick walls. Surely, he'll be taking a long, hot shower once he gets home.

And then, the worst arrives, making kissy noises like an imbecile, holding fingers with their split, dirty nails out, presumably for Seto to sniff.

Of all the neighborhoods to wind up in...

"Come here, pretty boy," Jounouchi croons, making more of those embarrassing noises, even as Seto sits in place with ears pinned back in obvious displeasure. "C'mon, kitty, it's okay. You lost, precious? You hungry?"

Seto flicks his tail. As if he needs any more reasons to want nothing to do with the idiot.

He contemplates turning away, forcing this foolish deadbeat to either continue embarrassing himself until Seto turned a corner or to leave himself, but something makes him pause. There is an earnestness in Jounouchi's eyes, a determined compassion in his gestures that he supposes may be considered benefits. Assets. There's no telling whether Seto will be forced to reroute again; why shouldn't he have someone looking out for a lonely stray in this backwards neighborhood?

Convenience, he tells himself. That's all. That's the only reason he steps cautiously forward, offering Jounouchi's dirty fingers a cautious sniff.

The idiot actually beams at the small gesture, and rubs in between Seto's ears, earning him a swipe and a hiss.

Don't touch me until you've washed your hands, you dirty mutt!

Jounouchi doesn't seem put off by the near-scratch, however; he only chuckles and leans back on his heels, still grinning. "You look like you're a long way from home. Never seen a stray around here with a coat as nice as yours. You get lost, pretty boy? Or someone dump you?"

He frowns at that. Seto's heart twinges for the concern, despite himself.

"Hey, either way, I bet you're hungry. Hope you're not too fancy for some canned convenience store tuna."

It certainly isn't Seto's favorite. But again, the earnestness gets to him, somehow. He offers little more than a slight chirp, tail flicking.

He watches as Jounouchi stands, smiling once more. "Wait here. I'll go grab you some."

Seto scoffs to himself as Jounouchi begins to turn toward the nearest building, aiming to go inside. He stands and stretches instead of waiting, following at the deadbeat's heels up the concrete steps. There is absolutely no chance he's spending a second longer out on this filthy street if he doesn't have to.

"Oh, you wanna come in?" Jounouchi's grin widens, eyes practically glittering. Ridiculous. "Well, okay, then. Sorry in advance about the mess. I haven't gotten to the laundry yet today."

There's a surprise. Seto decides not to comment with any noises on that, instead carries on following Jounouchi into his warmer, marginally cleaner apartment.

He'll have to leave eventually, but Jounouchi is, surprisingly, not so bad...perhaps, if the pattern holds, Seto might consider changing his route permanently.

So long as Jounouchi never finds out it’s him.

"I'll take the strawberry cake!"

Mokuba says with a smile, watching the baker place the piece of cake in a fancy white pastry box. Paying with his credit card, he thanks the worker, takes the box and turns his heel to leave the bakery, humming a little song to himself.

It was Mokuba's weekly little pleasure, getting a cake on his afternoon break from work. On his way back, he got to watch Domino City at work and get a much-needed breath of fresh air. Plus, today's a bright and sunny day, perfect for a stroll around the busy business district.

As he absentmindedly passes by an empty street, he notices something moving from the corner of his eye. Turning his head towards the object, he realizes it's a cat.

"Ah!"

Mokuba beams, immediately attracted to the animal. Although he expects it to run away as soon as he starts stepping in its direction, the cat doesn't seem to move, watching Mokuba.

"Hey kitty!"

He says, clutching his pastry box against his chest as he crouches to be at the kitty's level. The cat's eyes are a bright, beautiful blue.

"Oh, aren't you a pretty one?"

He compliments with a smile, wrapping an arm around the box to free the other, allowing him to pet the cat.

Mokuba didn't expect his cat to be able to turn into a gigantic creature, and he certainly didn't expect her to have that sort of personality. Today was certainly a day of surprises, and Kitty would have to be ready to get an absurd number of questions thrown her way the second they got to a more comfortable location.

For the time being, though, Mokuba beams with admiration, looking up at the beast.

"You're a demigod??!!"

He practically screams, the sound painfully echoing against the walls of the empty warehouse. Mokuba blushes and covers his mouth apologetically at that, taking a few breaths to calm his excitement down.

"Are you kidding? Of course I won't tell anyone! This is, like, literally the coolest secret I could ever get to keep!!"

The little boy's practically jumping in place with how happy he is.

"Okay, okay, okay. First things first, since you can talk."

He looks up at her and grins.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Mokuba! What's your name?"

He asks the question with a curious tilt of his head. He did enjoy calling her 'kitty', but it was a placeholder name more than anything else, and he was sure her real name would sound much better. Plus, he just wanted to know more about her, and names were always a good place to start!

(continued from here)

"Okay, well, I dunno what you are exactly, but I know you look cool as hell!"

She stared blankly. That wasn’t the reaction she’d expected. She thought for sure he’d bolt the moment he got his wits together. Then again…this boy was a bit of an odd one.

She fidgeted her fingers as she tried to figure out where to go from here.

“So…um…yes. I am ‘Kitty’...which I am completely okay with you calling me that!” she added awkwardly.

“As far as what I am…I am what your kind calls a ‘demigod’,” she quietly explained. “I, uh…I’m not supposed to let anyone see me like this…” She looked at the boy with a pleading expression. “Please don’t tell anyone? I’ll get in trouble…again…”

Conflict is brewing in my Sims file with the introduction of Gozaburo Kaiba, who immediately moved the Kaibas to a luxurious mansion and started acting, well...like Gozaburo. His traits are Dislikes Children, Snob, Mean-Spirited, Evil, and Perfectionist.

On the plus side, even he likes their cat, Dacoda, and Mokuba is having tons of fun with Dacoda and Seto. (I refuse to let anything bad happen to that kitty!)
