And just as we were about to leave...

"Kitty cat!"

Now:

No.

NO!

Why the hell is Nendou here?!

Nendou Riki. He's a weirdo in my class with a brain that functions less than a roach's. That makes him one of the biggest threats to me. He's stupid to the point where he doesn't think, which means I can't hear where he is.

And even though he looks like a punk, or a gang lord, Nendou is honestly one of the most innocent and childish people I've ever met.

Which only makes me hate him more.

When will he learn that all i want, all I will ever wish to God for, is for him to die a violent death in no way connected to me and buried as far away from Japan as possible?

The answer?

Never.

Like I said, the guy's too innocent.

Then again, I must be more out of it than I realised... Kaidou is with him. Unlike Nendou, Kaidou has actual thoughts (albeit stubid ones), so I have no excuse when it comes to him sneaking up on me.

Kaidou Shun. Another idiot I have to deal with on a daily basis. He's almost normal, most of the time... But he has this wierd Hero complex thing. He thinks he's a reincarnation of a fake hero called 'Pitch Black Wings' or something like that, and that anything that happens has to be a plot by a fake organisation by the name of 'The black reunion.' If I cared, I might actually bother remember the names, but hell will freeze over before I care. Besides, I'm pretty sure I hit pretty close to the mark.

"Awww! Look Kaidou! Cats!"

Yes. We are cats. Go away.

Anpu is completely unaware of what's happening, and goes trotting up to Nendou. If he dies, it's just something to scratch off the bucket list.

"Awwww! Kaidou! Hey Kaidou! Yoo hoo? Look! Can we keep them?"

"Why are you asking me? I'm not your mom."

Aww they're so cute! What am I saying?! I can't drag a cat into the battles of the Dark Reunion! A sidekick would be cool though...

Ah! That's right. Dark Reunion, not Black Reunion. Not that I care. But maybe if I pretend I do, I can procrastinate just a bit longer...

"Come on then! I'll take this orange one and you take that pink one!"

WHAT?! Is he so stupid that hypnosis doesn't even work on him?!

"You need glasses, it's clearly black."

Just like the Jet-Black Wings! It's perfect!

No! No it is not perfect. My visor and control devices are cooler than anything connected even vaguely to you will ever be.

He's the perfect sidekick for the Jet-Black Wings!

No. He is not. Give up your delusional ways.

I shall name him the Jet-Black Silent-but-Deadly Paws!

Why so long?

Together, be shall rid the world of the Dark Reunion!

We already have. It never existed.

Now usually I would just teleport away, but that'll just create more trouble for myself later along the line. Too many people to see... What if I just scratched him and left? I have a feeling it would work on Kaidou... Nendou? Not so much...

Urgh. You have got to be kidding me.

"So which house are we taking them to?"

"Sorry, but is it okay if you take them, Nendou? I'm pretty sure my mom would flip if I brought home a stray- I mean... The Dark Reunion would come and get him to torture him for info!"

You have got to be kidding me!

Okay, Nendou. I have never begged anyone for anything, but just this once, I'll set aside my pride.

Please say no...

"Oh sure! My mom loves cats!"

You have got to be kidding me!

Why? Why is it always me? Do the Author and their readers just enjoy watching me suffer?

Well that's it. I've had it. To hell with this, I'm not moving from this spot.

And so I sat down, claws unsheathed as they dug into the cement of the pavement out of pure willpower to avoid anymore of their insanity.

...Though I admit it may have been aided by my psychic powers. It was childish and I'll admit to it, but I just can't put up with this. I want to go ho- No wait... Dad's still there... Damn!

"Hey Nendou? The black cat's claws are stuck."

Don't worry my trusty sidekick! We'll free you!

Don't assume I want your help, human! ...Is this how cats feel?

And then... I felt it.

The fear almost made me remove my claws...

It was a nightmare...

My nightmare...

Idiot No.3 was coming this way.

Just walk past... No! Don't come over here! Go the other way!

"Oh! Hey guys! What're you doing out?"

Introducing idiot No.3: Kinesho Hairo. He's the class representative, and for some God-forsaken reason, all the other classmates worship him! It's so wierd, I once saw him ppuke up poison with glitter in it from getting stung by a nettle. A nettle. And he starts sweating immediately, sometimes I wonder if he has the psychic power of hydrokinesis and doesn't even realise it. He's kind, I guess. I don't have anything in particular against him, I just think he tries too hard. At everything.

"Oh hey Hairo! Nothing much. Me and Nendou found these strays and we're taking them to Nendou's home, but the black one got it's claws stuck..."

Your skills are superb already, Jet-black Silent-but-Deadly Paws! I wonder if you even need training!

You're rewarding me for getting stuck?

"Hey! Human Cat! I know ya don't like these guys, but I'm starving... Just pick whoever seems the least annoying and let's go."

[Anyone? Well in that case...]

I wasn't going to pick any of these three. I'd rather say 'Oh wow!' to Kokomi! Besides if that train of thought is who I think it is, the safest choice should be right around the corner.

"Oh look, he got up!"

Oh my God. It's like I wasn't even stuck- Oh wait! Morons.

"Where's he going?"

Aren't black cats a magnet for bad luck? He's a stray too...Not anymore.

And with that, I leapt onto Toritsuka's shoulder.

Toritsuka Reita is, to my knowledge, the only one in PK academy with powers, other than myself of course. His aren't as grand as mine though. All he can do is see and talk to ghosts. He looks weirded out by my sudden appearance, but doesn't look suprised. Is he used to this then? Why would cats- Wait. They think I'm a black cat. Black cats are meant to follow ghosts, maybe thats why he isn't acting up.

"Oh hey, Toritsuka! Is this your cat?"

Damn, and I had so much planned too!

No. I am the main character here. No one cares about you, Kaidou.

"Oh, he isn-"

[SAY YES OR I WILL GUT YOU LIKE A FISH!]

"Is totally my cat! Yeah! That's why I'm out here! I'm looking for him! I'm totally not doing anything... heheheh..."

[Your act needs work.]

I don't need to hear that from you, pussy cat!

I forgot to mention, Toritsuka is the only one of my followers (stalkers) that know about my powers.

After chatting a bit more, I got bored and began to sink my claws into his shoulders. He got the hint and we left.

Anpu is staying where there is more people and more food. He'll realise the error of his ways later.

-0-

You ever hear the saying, 'Some people just wanna see the world burn?'

I am one of those people.

Toritsuka won't stop with the 'pussy' jokes, I'm going insane! I'm one step away from taking out both control devices and letting the world fall into oblivion. At this point, I'd be doing it a favour!

Alas, if I did, it would be going against the morals drilled into my mind by my mother. Ah well, Toritsuka could suffer the wrath of my claws for now.

"Ne, Saiki? Why don't you just turn back into a human?"

[Good grief. If I could do that, I wouldn't still be here.]

"Well ya don't have to get so pissy over it! I'm only tryin' to help!"

[How is asking questions helping?]

When Toritsuka didn't reply, I simply took his silence as a blessing. It wasn't often that the people around me were quiet. In fact, I can't remember there ever being a time like this. Truly, such a gift I had been blessed with...

And then the spirit medium had to open his mouth. "Ne, Saiki? Why're you coming with me?"

[If I go home my dad will pester me. He's cat-crazy. Plus, my mum is allergic to cats, and there's no way in hell I'm going with Kaido, Hairo, or heaven forbid, Nendou.]

The purple-haired boy looked almost depressed. I was almost offended until I realised he probably thought this was an ultimate show of trust or some crap. Crying tears of joy, his sticky, grabby fingers reached up to grasp me on his shoulder. I couldn't help it, 'instinct' took over. The second his hand came close enough, I scratched it. Of course, his hand didn't come off, I was getting better at controlling my strength. Still, it probably felt hard to that stupid Toritsuka.

"OW! Saiki-san! That was mean! Bad pussy!"

And I was right. The idiot is so easy to second guess.
