[cyfor]

[Cy appears on the Plane, looking totally out of it. She's sitting, small and wide-eyed and confused, amidst the scattered bodies of dead cats. They're sad, grotesque creatures, some missing eyes, or a leg, some unnaturally large, almost all missing hair around the face and neck. Most have wounds, some shallow and unhealed, others recent, signs of

[Yuri stops and stares. He's seen worse than this before, but there something very disturbing about the scene before. Plus one of the cats is talking and that is kind of freaky to him]

[cyfor]

[She looks groggily in his direction.] Spirits to spare... [She looks back at the cat and tries grooming again, this time around his neck.]

[harmonixerdemon]

[Okay, now the talking cat gets more stares] How the hell did you know that? [Then he feels kind of guilty about that because even he thinks it's sort of sad] Hey..umm [Pauses wondering how you comfort a cat]

[cyfor]

[Wobbles.] Whatcha do with a drunken sailor, early in the morning...

[twelvemasks]

[That is a lot of dead cats. Minato crouches down nearby for Cy]

[cyfor]

[She wanders up to him.] MP3-pi-o... I was sleeping. It hurt. What happened?

[twelvemasks]

[He glances over the other cats, though it was quite obvious to him the first time.] Experiments.

[cyfor]

[Tries to climb onto his knee, even more awkward and uncoordinated than usual.] But no, they're not, they're brothers. Brothers and sisters, see?

[contract_star]

[Fortunately the Plane has mad time warping abilities so here's Hei, after the whole thing with Yuzu and Mu. And Hei thought his bad day was over. Any anger he still has toward the kitty vanishes instantly.]

Cy?

[cyfor]

[She doesn't seem to hear him, just keeps licking away at a patch charred skin, trying to clean off the burn.]

[contract_star]

[Hei goes over to her silently and sits down next to her. Then he reaches over and lays a hand gently on her back.]

It'll be alright, Cy.

[cyfor]

He's tired. [Keeps licking. Her tongue has black flakes stuck to it.] They were fighting, I could feel them fightning, and he's tired.

[hua_fei]

[...because I can't resist. So yes, pretend this is after Yuzuriha is done with the unconscious men.]

...you'll be okay. [She wishes she could say the same of the other cats but that would be a lie. Yuzuriha crouches near Cy, holding a hand out towards her hesitantly.

My brother...he as well-- You'll be okay. [She remember's Tokusa distantly and his broken body.]

[cyfor]

[Wanders toward her hand and tries to climb into it, even though she's way too big.]

But they won't? Why?

[hua_fei]

[She picks Cy up carefully, gently. She sits, crossing her legs and sets Cy in her lap.]

Because every creature only lives once naturally. No matter how we wish otherwise.

[cyfor]

[Curls up.] They wanted to go home. I could feel them. They wanted to go home.

[noking]

What's all this?

[cyfor]

[She hisses at the hyena.] Mine. Mine.

[noking]

[she comes closer grinning]

Oh, so you went rogue? Clever cat.

[cyfor]

[She takes a swipe at the hyena.] Don't touch.
