Mika sat in a box. His legs crossed, but his knees sticking up in the air. His hands placed between his legs, on the blanket that covered the bottom of the box.

A meow came from his right side, then one from the left, and another behind. His head titled as he looked in all directions before out into the street, beginning to meow as well.

His meowing stopped when a crack of thunder shocked the area. His cat ears flattened against his head and his eyes closed as he ducked down.

The kittens which were placed around him continued to meow. Even as the rain started to pour.

Mika's left eye opened half way, gazing out into the street. The other opened and he looked up, watching the rain fall down on him and the kittens. A sad look appeared on his face, and a soft "ooouuuhhh~~..." Noise came from him.

His head turned, looking to the elderly women who walked down the street, holding an umbrella. She kept walking, stopping next the box and looking down at Mika, glaring at him.

Mika titled his head curiously, looking up at the women. His ears perked and twitched, but flattened once more as an umbrella came flying at him. His eyes widened and he jumped out off the box and into the street.

"Damn young brats!" Called the elderly women, swaying the umbrella towards Mika once again, who once again jumped out of the way and ran down the road towards two figures.

The elderly women picked up the box of kittens and began to walk after Mika.

"Why the hell at your following me Baseball idiot?" Hayato said.

"N..now now.. This is the way home to my house too.." Said Takashi.

"Well quit walking so close to me! People will think we're friends Or something!"

Mika took one last dash, grabbing onto Takashi's, clinging tightly and causing the pants to become wet.

"We are friends." Takashi laughed, but it cut off as he and Hayato looked down at Mika.

Mika whimpered as the elderly lady came closer. "A friend of yours?" She scoffed. "Damned kids these days.." She grumbled and started to walk off.

Mika closed his eyes and clung tighter, his ears still flat against his head.

Takashi bent over, bringing his umbrella down with him, to cover himself and Mika. "Hey," He started softly. "You okay little guy?"

Hayato bent down as well, balancing on his feet, blinking blankly. He reached out, touching one of the cat ears on Mika's head. "Are these real?"

Mika jumped at the touch, opening his eyes to look at Hayato, letting a soft 'eeh' noise and letting go of Takashi's legs. Causing him to fall on his rear.

Hayato let go of the ear, also falling backwards and frowning, getting back on up his feet and curling his fingers into a fist. "Why you little..."

Takashi reached out a hand and waved it in front of Hayato. "Now now, he didn't really do anything!"

"What do you mean he didn't do anything? Now my pants are wet!" Hayato said, glaring up at Takashi.

"ahh.. Ahh..." Came from Mika, causing both heads to look at him. "AHHH ! Chu~" Mika sneezed into hands, his ears flattening onto his head. He opened his eyes and looked down at his hands, his cat ears perking. He lowered his hands and began to wipe them on his shirt and shorts.

Hayato stood and took a step back, turning his back to both Takashi and Mika. "Whatever, she's gross! I'm going." He said, beginning to walk off down the road. "Stupid girls.." He grumbled under his breath.

Takashi bent down further, to balance on his knees, reaching out to pet Mika on the head. "You should head home and take some medicine so you don't get sick." He said before standing and handing his umbrella to Mika, before beginning to jog after Hayato. "Hey, share your umbrella with me!" He said, smiling.

Hayato frowned. "Shit! You should have kept yours, Baseball Idiot!"

Mika sat on the ground, he tilted his head and looked at the umbrella before at Hayato's umbrella. He stood up and held it above his head just as Hayato did. He smiled and began to chase after them.

Mika continued to run after the two, slowing down as he got closer to them. He smiled cheerfully, humming a random tune to himself. Something which started to annoy Hayato to no end.

"Quit it!" Hayato shouted, turning to face Mika, and bending over with a scrowl on his face. "You annoying piece of shit, get lost!"

Mika's head tilted, confused. He was a little taken back when he was shifted to stand in front of Takashi, who once again knelt onto the ground.

"Hey, never mind him. Why aren't you going home? Are you lost?" Takashi said, his usual smile on his face. Mika didn't respond. Takashi looked up to Hayato. "Maybe we should take him back to my place. We can call the police, and while we wait we can read comics and have some snacks!"

Hayato's right hand curled into a fist, his eyes closed as a look of anger came onto his face. "You idiot!" He shouted, opening his eyes back up, trying to restrain himself from hitting Takashi over the head. "The only reason I'm going to your damn house is to help you study because the Tenth asked!"

"Oh.. yea.. haha." Takashi let out, standing and still smiling. "Well, we can still take him back and have some snacks while we wait for the police."

Mika still stared up in confusion, but when Takashi smiled down at him, his face lit up and he smiled back, just as bright.

"Tche. Whatever, just hurry up." Hayato said, leaving the two and walking off.

Takashi reached out for the umbrella that Mika was holding, taking it and holding it above himself and Mika. "We'll share, okay?" He said, grabbing Mika's hand and beginning to walk off after Hayato. "Wait up!" He called out to Hayato.
