Cuddles for a Company
3. In Which Takeru Tries to Make a Friend

One day, Miko would learn to like him.

She would have to, if Takeru was a frequent visitor of the Yagami's.

And that was made a whole lot easier by the fact that they didn't have Tokyo Bay separating them anymore. Ever since they'd moved to Odaiba to be with the rest of the gang.

And made a little harder with Miko hissing from between Hikari's legs every time she opened the door.

Though Hikari would smile and pet Miko and placate her and then send her off, and Miko would find a nice sunny corner to lie in and stare. And Takeru would take extra care not to step on her tail or bump her food (Taichi had informed him of the consequences of that) or to get too closer period, because otherwise he'd be walking away with a scratch and Hikari fussing over the cat again.

But Takeru thought he was a great deal quieter and more careful than Taichi. And Miko didn't scratch Taichi all too much.

'She's just not used to you,' Hikari would say, apologetically.

Hopefully, Miko would get used to him soon. Or stop thinking he made a good scratching post.
