Stealing Every Girl: The Namesake Makes a Discovery

Tonight, like every other Friday since the end of Cain Heel and Setsuka, Kyoko made her way to Ren's apartment building. And, like every Friday night, the guard tipped his hat, uttered a 'good evening' and let her through. After doing this for so long, Ren just had another key made for her, telling her that it would be better that she had on then ad to go further and say it would be a bother for both of them if she had to wait for him every night he was going to be late.

The door opened with a soft click. "Ren-san, I'm here!" At some point Ren had also managed to convince her to be on a first name basis though it still took her a while to get used to it all.

"I'm in the kitchen. Um… can I get some help, please?" Ren sounded unusually distressed and it had Kyoko running to the kitchen. She came to a full stop at the entry.

"What are you doing?" The laugher in her voice made Ren take the defensive looking hurt that she would laugh at him in such a dire situation.

"Don't laugh at me! She's been stuck to me like glue all morning now all of a sudden she's growling at me and trying to murder me!"

Kyoko just laughed. "She's probably hungry or something… have you fed her since this morning?" At the look on Ren's face, Kyoko shook her head and went to get the milk out of the fridge pouring some in a saucer she took out of a cabinet and putting it on the floor. The cause of Ren's distress scampered off to drink her milk while Ren signed mumbling a 'why didn't I think of that' before looking at Kyoko again. She was watching the kitten drink her milk and then the kitten began purring and rubbing against Kyoko's hand which went to pet her head. They stayed like that for a few minutes, Kyoko looking like she was deep in thought. All of a sudden Kyoko let out a sound like she just remembered something important. Couldn't be, she thought to herself laughing a little.

Puzzled about the conclusion she came up with Ren asked, "What is it?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing. I just remembered I have to get started on dinner if we want it done on time." Thankfully for Kyoko, Ren decided to leave it at that.

"Ok, I'll get out of your way then. Should I take her too?" Ren asked, looking at the kitten who happily went back to her milk.

"No, she's fine." With that Ren went off to explore the many channels on his TV to find something suitable to watch until dinner.

After he was out of hearing range, Kyoko decided to find out if her theory was true. "Ok, you're jet black, golden eyes, looooveeees shiny things since you glued yourself to Ren-san, found near roses… you're definitely Koko-chan." At the mention of her name, Koko looked up, confirming Kyoko's statement with a mewl. "Oh boy! Wonder how this will turn out? I didn't think he brought her with him... wonder when he went back to get her?" Kyoko chuckled to herself before washing her hands and began making their dinner, making sure to add a little extra meat in there for tonight.

Not setting any set release date for this story and any additional chapters I might add. I will just add them as they come to me.

And for those who are waiting on R&K, I am working on the next chapter, though I don't like how it's coming along I will try to finish it soon.
