Ta da, or sumthin'.....

14. Regulations:
Cerberus only allowed Hiruma to scratch him behind his ears; his favorite place to be scratched; however, lately, he is opted to allow her to do the same.

Pop!

A startled Mamori glanced up to find the Devilbat’s captain, hands in pockets, holding a plastic grocery bag. He stared down to her, crouched beside Cerberus’s doghouse, busily giving the pooch a good scratch behind the ears. The boy was silent, and watched pensively for a moment. Feeling his eyes on her, Mamori’s hand slowed.   The dog, realizing her attention was elsewhere, gave a rumbly growl and trotted off.

“He’ll let you do that?” Hiruma asked, breaking the quiet moment.

“Well he’s always let me pet him,” she started, “But I think I’m getting away with a bit more these days.”

The quarterback began a new bubble and continued walking, dropping the bag beside her, spilling its contents of flea powder and shampoo. “If you can get away with all that, the damned mutt could use a bath.”
