June gave a small pat to her pale ginger cat before smiling and grabbing her messenger bag and heading out through the front door. She stopped by the mirror and looked at her hair:Long, silky, brown and pulled back into a bun as always. She turned around, picked up her cat, and gave it a light sweet kiss on its furry head.

"Mow." The small cat and and looked at her with its big round precious yellow eyes.

"Good kitty, Sasuke."She smiled fondly before sitting the cat down for the final time and adjusting the strap over her shoulder. She gave a little yawn and stretched out the left over sleepiness that made her short body stiff and less than ready for the long school day ahead.

The weather was perfect. Foggy, cloudy, gray and the scent of rain was all around her. Relaxing and unblinding unlike those pesky sunny days.

"Hey, June-chan!" Dec's voice sounded itself behind her and lightly touched her shoulder as June had been walking about a street's worth of feet from her home by this time.

"Eek!" June jumped a little before turning around to look at her best friend, Dec. "Dec, you scared me!"

"Oh? did I, now? Well, please take my most sincere apology to heart, in that case. Startling you was most certainly not my intention. " Dec said looking down on her. Damn, her shortness.

"I just noticed how you were walking out this morning and it looks like it's about to rain. I was heading to the bus stop myself when I saw you and noticed that you hesitated to take the same route as me, before just disregarding the whole thing and just taking the opposite direction in all. "

"Well, yeah. I did do that...I didn't wanna miss out on the nice weather." June offered a laid back smile.

"Actually, it should be the opposite. The weather is quite murky and light lacking today. If it were sunny and warm, it would be different. Besides, you should have at the very least have brought an umbrella. "

"I didn't think I would need it." June said. It sounded as if she really thought those words were really enough of an explanation or she was being lackluster.

"Didn't need it?" Dec asked.

"I only use my umbrella when it's sunny or bright. Ugh." June explained. Some what explaining, anyway.

"Well alright. since you've chosen today to use backward logic and I happen to be here, I'll keep you company on our walk to school and I'll share access to my umbrella. " Dec pulled his umbrella from where he was keeping it and pulled it open. He then held it up above him and his friend.

"Dec, I see you're trying to be helpful, but I honestly believe I don't need the umbrella. That just takes away the whole of joy from this pretty weather."

Dec sighed and pulled the umbrella away from her head. "Well alright, June. If you insist."

Dec didn't sound annoyed or impatient. Just a bit confused. He shrugged and the two walked on.

"I see you're um, wearing a dress that is reminiscent of a maid's uniform?" Dec asked cocking his head to the side a little.

"Oh yeah." June said in a casual chat sort of tone. "I couldn't decide if I wanted to wear this Hello Kitty dress or a black ripped up one. But in the end I decided on neither and I decided to wear this maid dress." She traced her hands down her silky black dress with white lace on it and a big ribbon tied around her waist. It was topped off by something frilly in her hair and some black stockings on her legs.

Dec himself was wearing a white t-shirt with the Smashing Pumpkins logo and some black jeans. He also had a silver necklace around him and some purple converse with shoes laces that were of multiple colors.

"Nice." June said commenting on his whole outfit as she looked him up and down.

"I dress like a current teen ager growing up in the two-thousands." Dec said in a mumbling form. "You, on the other hand, more like from the victorian era at that there's anything wrong with that." He added as he looked ahead.

"I also have a dress that's fashioned after that blonde sailor moon character." June reminded him.

"Oh yes, I remember that..." Dec said not so much as steady.

Most people did remember that dress because it wasn't very short, and it was something June kept hidden away from her father in the very back of the closet. Dec knew this because June had told him herself. She also stuffed it behind a bunch of other clothes when her father came into the room to check on them once. She got stuck in a bundle of clothes. It took him, and Claude to pull her out. Clearly, June didn't keep the most cleanest of closets. Not by a long shot.

June gave a sad little sigh that naturally caught Dec's attention.

"What's wrong, June?" Dec asked feeling concern.

"I just miss Sasuke already." June said looking down at the ground.

"Sasuke-? Ah, yes...your cat. "

"Mhmm." June nodded. "He's my precious little kitty." June smiled happily just at the thought of that feline pet of her's. Dec sometimes thought that she must have loved that cat almost as much as him and Claude and possibly everyone else.

"Well don't worry, June. Soon enough you'll get to see your Sasuke as soon as you get home. No doubt about it." He nodded feeling sure of himself just by reassuring her.

"I suppose you're right, Dec." June said brightening up a bit just by hearing that.
