i || waking up in strange places

Apr 13, 2010 20:36

To be perfectly honest, his heart was pounding. Maybe not in total fear, but it was definitely there, underneath the thick layers of stubborn composure. But he wasn't about to let anyone see that, let alone admit it to himself, either. With his back pressed against the cold stone of a broken building that had once reached for the sky, he waited ( Read more... )

[... and there's a little tinkling of a small silver bell in the night, a silent tapping of tiny, velvety feet, and a pure white cat trots out of the darkness, straight for him.

Without wasting a moment, she sidles up to his legs, and rubs herself all over his pants, purring (and shedding).]

[The minute, no no. The instant he hears it, ears are up and he's bee lining his vision for that feline. He.. doesn't recognize it. But ugh he loves cats.

After a minute of watching her shed love his legs, he crouches down to give a heavy stroke over her back, right off to the end of her tail.]

Hey kitty...

[Offline] bloodseal_soul April 14 2010, 05:18:35 UTC

[She arches her back, purring loudly into the pets. Either this cat is very, very loving, or she recognizes something about him. She deigns to let him scratch her, stretching out her front legs with loud buzzing purring and flicking her tail lazily.

The bell on the collar at her neck jingles, and she watches him with steady, content grey eyes.]

[Thump, he sits down unceremoniously, legs spread like the man he is. Hooking a hand under the cat's belly, he picks her up, only to plop her back down on his lap once he's got his legs crossed.]

There ya go.

[Back to petting her ears, face, paw pads and god she's so cute. Even Buyo wasn't this friendly. Kirara maybe, but never enough to let him pet his paws.]

[She goes without a fuss, letting him manhandle her like she's some sort of ragdoll, happy to be fussed over.

There are some footsteps in the distance, followed by the voice of a young man, maybe a little younger than Miroku.]

Kitty!

[Her ears perk.]

[Offline] i_said_sit April 14 2010, 06:25:23 UTC

[And because he's still totally on the defense and not sitting cuddling with a feline, he hops up, one arm wrapped around the cat, holding her to his side. Sort of like a sac of rice.

He's not in a fighting stance, but he's definitely not exuding 'I'm friendly!' vibes, that was for sure.

Maybe the owner?]

[Offline] bloodseal_soul April 14 2010, 06:30:49 UTC

[Kitty just purrs at him, pawing at the red material, kneading her claws, perfectly content with the current predicament.]

[Of course, the same can't be said of the figure of the young man in the mouth of the alleyway, squinting into the darkness. There's very little moon, it's hard to make anything out.]

... Kitty?

[Offline] i_said_sit April 14 2010, 06:40:46 UTC

[Poor Al. Inuyasha can see you perfectly. The kid looks harmless. Smells and looks like a human. But still-- even humans could be dangerous.

He gives a glance to 'Kitty' briefly, then back up.]

She yours? [Sorry. He probably doesn't realize you can't see.]

[Offline] bloodseal_soul April 14 2010, 06:50:59 UTC

[That voice. He'd recognize that voice anywhere. Lips part, eyes widen. He still can't see him, but he'll stay where he is.

It's lucky he's got supernatural hearing.]

... Inuyasha?

[Offline] i_said_sit April 14 2010, 06:53:51 UTC

[Lucky indeed.]

...Do I know you? Look, kid, if she's your cat, you can have her back. She just came up and said hi, that's all.

[Maybe he knew Kagome? ...But that WOULD mean that this WAS Kagome's world in which... No. It couldn't have been this run down.]

[Offline] bloodseal_soul April 14 2010, 06:59:12 UTC

[If he had a flashlight he'd throw it at him. Again. For leaving. For coming back and not knowing him. But...

He'll take a few steps forwards, the cat wriggling out of Inuyasha's arms and dropping to the ground with a ring of her bell. Al crouches down and gathers her up, lovingly, holding her to him, holding her to fight back the impulse to hug Inuyasha.

No, he wouldn't like that.]

... you used to.

I... yeah. She likes to do that. She's friendly.

[Offline] i_said_sit April 14 2010, 07:05:56 UTC

[If you did that he'd throw it right back at you, damnit. Again.]

Used to..? I don't think we've ever met.

[He shrugs, watching the cat give the same treatment to her 'owner'.]

Hn.

[Offline] bloodseal_soul April 14 2010, 07:09:01 UTC

You wouldn't remember. Nobody ever remembers, here.

...

I'm Al.

[Kitty's fluffy tail swings to one side, purring softly, grey eyes fixed knowingly on Inuyasha.]

We met like this, actually. Except it was raining, and I threw a flashlight at your face because I thought you were trying to hurt her.

[Offline] i_said_sit April 14 2010, 07:15:04 UTC

So I've heard.

... Inuyasha. But I guess you already know that.

[His eyes dart from the boy's face, to the tail, and back again, then down to the cat's eyes and back up again.]

You through a .. flashlight at me. Why the hell would I hurt a cat?

[Offline] bloodseal_soul April 14 2010, 07:32:52 UTC

[Al set his jaw, then a hapless smile touched his lips, a little sad.]

You weren't. But you wouldn't give her back to me, either, and I didn't know you weren't going to hurt her.

[Offline] i_said_sit April 14 2010, 07:38:54 UTC

[He shrugs, shifting on spot.]

Eh. Probably thought you didn't like her or something. Hell if it was raining out...
