I am His.
(A sequel to my story "He is Mine". Once again, Yami no Matsuei does not belong to me; this is just a harmless (and hopefully cute) fanfic! Hope you all like it! 3)
There are many things in this world that remain constant, and we cling to them, our routines, hoping that nothing changes and ruins what good we can hold onto. Although, sometimes… change isn't such a bad thing.

Quite some time has passed since that lonely day in the rain, and also since my near-death experience at the hand of that thief, but now things are better! Almost three whole years have gone by and I couldn't be happier! …Well… most of the time, anyway…
You see, while we're here together in Hisoka's little home, nothing could go wrong, but when Hisoka leaves the house to go to school or even just shopping, he comes home with the saddest look on his face. I try all I can to make him feel all better, but… I'm just a cat… and in reality, there is very little I can do for him.
…Heh. I'm glad cats don't stay depressed that long! Oh! It's nearly time to start the day! I got to be lazy and slept in nearly the whole weekend, which makes me a happy kitty, but now it's time to get on with our routine! Yes, Hisoka and I have a routine now, and it's quite enjoyable a lot of the time. Hee hee~ It starts when Hisoka's alarm is about a minute away from going off, but I carefully sneak out from under Hisoka's arm, sneak across the floor to turn it off. Hisoka stirs, seeming to know that I've left, and reaches out for me. But, I stay just out of arms reach. He groans frustrated, so when he reaches out again, I like his fingertips to apologize. At this, Hisoka opens his eyes, still tired, but still he smiles at me and pets my head.
"Morning, you baka…" He speaks harsh words to me, sometimes, but in such a soft and loving way… I love that about him! It's so cuuuu-! Uh-oh, he's trying to fall back asleep! But I can fix that… I walk over and lick his nose, which makes him open his eyes again and within minutes of bugging him, he is up and getting ready to leave. You know, I think Hisoka likes staying here, instead of going out. I like it when he's home with me, too! As he stands in the bathroom to brush his hair, I lightly rub against his leg. He gives me a teeny smile but continues with what he's doing. It isn't much attention, not like it used to be when I was younger, but it's still something, and I cherish it! I guess. Anyway, I just keep circling his legs and rub against him until he sighs and picks me up.
Obviously I'm bigger than I used to be, but even though I'm heavier now, Hisoka doesn't seem to mind hauling me around. Often times, he'll let me ride on his shoulders, and when that happens I always tease him by cuddling his face and licking his ear. Every time I do that, Hisoka blushes, but I don't really understand why. It's a human reaction that I don't really get, but it's something that the humans on the tv do a lot! Oh, right, Hisoka bought a little tv for us! He said it was mostly so I wont be lonely being home for so long every day, which was very nice of him! So, as per our routine, we sat on the little sofa (also new) and shared breakfast as Hisoka watched the news.
I don't really like the news. Not only is it boring, but most of the things they show and talk about it negative. I can tell this… Human emotions… Hisoka's been teaching me about them and how to recognize them! Why? Well, at first I thought it was so I would know when Hisoka's irritated so I don't bug him and make him madder, but … I don't know… Could that be the only reason? As the news plays, Hisoka explains what they're talking about to me, so I can kind of understand. Understand… does it make Hisoka feel less lonely to do this? To treat me like a human? So that it's like… he's having a normal conversation with someone like himself instead of… just a cat? Eh, either way, I'm just glad to be able to hear my Hisoka's sweet voice… 3
All too soon, however, the moment is gone, and Hisoka was finishing preparing for his classes. As he loads his bag, he looks up at me, still on the sofa, and with a piece of granola in my mouth.
"You be a good kitty, you hear?"
I nod.
"I put some extra food in your bowl, but don't go through it all at once, because that's all you get until I come home."
I nod again. It's a shame, since I like to eat, but it's okay. I know where the treat are!
"And," Hisoka starts again, giving me a wary look. Almost like he's reading my mind, he finishes, "Stay out of the treats!"
Awww… Sad Tsuzuki koneko…
Hisoka finally finishes and straightens out his collar. That's when he noticed me eyeing the remote.
"You can change it now, just remember to turn it off when you're done." I nod again. Hisoka taught me how to use the tv remote, so I lean over and press some buttons. To anyone else, it would look like I'm just pressing random buttons, but soon, my favorite soap opera comes up and I snuggle back against the couch to watch.
"Soaps again? They'll rot your brain, cat…" Leaning down, Hisoka gives me a wonderful gift~ a kiss on the head! In return, I give him a lick on the cheek, which makes his face brighten up. This makes me so happy… 3 However, once again, it's over too soon and Hisoka is at the door, slipping his shoes on.
"Bye, Tsuzuki! I'll be home soon!" He calls before leaving.
Soon… but not nearly soon enough…
