—Flashbacks—

"Moyashi?" Kanda tried jostling the feline, before sighing in defeat. "The hell is wrong with you?" He muttered, before changing his hold on the cat. Now more like an infant rather than a ragdoll. He walked out of the den, and into the living room, where he carefully placed the shocked kit onto the couch. Maybe if he gave the small creature some room, he'd come to…

And that was exactly what he did.

(* - *)

Betsy saw the cat from her perch on the table. "What on earth is wrong with him?" She asked herself, genuinely curious. Despite knowing 'Moyashi' for only a short time, she found she rather liked the kitten around. He was young, foolish, yes, but there was something the ferret couldn't quite place about him.

He had a dark past…that she was certain of. But if that really was the case, then why couldn't he remember the events? It really was curious. Jumping from her vantage point, she scurried to the couch, climbing up and stood near the

"Moyashi?"

No response.

She tried again, "Hey, Moyashi, are you okay?" She wasn't really fond on being ignored. Just what was she to do to regain his attention? She tried again, and again, before finally getting agitated. Just like when her human annoyed her, she did to his fingers what she was about to do to the kitten's ear.

Bite it.

'Moyashi' yelped in pain, jumping almost two feet in the air, panicked for a moment, before slowly calming down. "That hurt! Why'd you do that for?!"

"Because you were ignoring me."

'Ignoring…when did I get here?"

"Your human brought you here. Probably to clean the big mess we made…actually, I think I hear him rushing back."

True to her word, Kanda did in fact come, "What the hell?"

"…hello?" Allen said, even though he knew the word was lost to the Japanese human's ears.

(* - *)

Kanda ran the moment he heard a pained cat yelp. He was introduced to 'Moyashi' and Betsy on the couch. He saw a pained looked in the cat's face, but at least he was back to his old self. Sighing, Kanda crossed his arms, and looked at the duo. "What the hell?"

He didn't expect an answer, save the timid meow from 'Moyashi'.

"Need I ask?" Kanda murmured, before going to check on his cat. He seemed to be okay…a little blood on his ear, but he knew well enough to know it was Betsy's handiwork. He was surprised she didn't bite him as roughly as she'd bight Lavi when he handled her wrong. Maybe a maternal instinct? He wasn't sure, but at least there wouldn't be any scarring on 'Moyashi's' ear. "Whatever. Moyashi, are you alright?"

Said cat meowed.

"That's a relief…Betsy's bites are usually pretty deep…looks like she took it easy on you."

'Moyashi' cocked his head to the side, silver eyes blinking a couple of time.

"Alright…you two stay out of trouble, I'm going to finish cleaning up, and then inform Lavi of the mess you two made."

He left right after that, leaving the duo to their devices.

The week continued and Kanda decided 'Moyashi' was fine to hang out with Betsy while he'd do his daily chores while at the Bookman residence. He couldn't help but notice that there were pleanty of instances where the cat would suddenly cease in his actions, before shaking and going on about his business as though there wasn't anything wrong.

Honestly, the action worried him. Perhaps it was PTSD? He wouldn't put it past the young feline. After all, with the way he'd found him, it only made sense he'd have some form of it…but to go back to his normal-self right after? That was what worried him.

"Moyashi, we're going." Kanda called out to the cat, who barreled out of Lavi's bedroom, Betsy tagging closely behind. "Alright, time for you to get in your pen."

Betsy, knowing the drill by that point, climbed into her pen, and Kanda closed it after her, making sure it was locked. 'Moyashi' yawned, and Kanda sighed, picking up the feline, and putting him in his bag. "You've done a good job keeping her out of my hair. Maybe you should rest tomorrow…"

'Moyashi' peeked his head out, making a pouting look. He meowed.

"Fine, you'd probably just sneak into my bag again anyway." Kanda grumbled. Why was he talking to a cat? Better, why was he only asking himself that now? "Che. Whatever."

Making sure everything was in order, Kanda proceeded to shut off the lights, and locking the door behind him.

"That guy…" Kanda growled, as he removed his shirt. 'Moyashi' yawned from his perch on his the man's pillow, watching the elder getting ready for bed that night.

'Moyashi' mewled.

"You know, half the time I find myself wondering what you think about, Moyashi." Kanda mused, as he took a seat on his bed, close enough to pet 'Moyashi's' fur.

The small feline purred in response to the hand grooming his fur.

"Like that?" Kanda asked, continuing with the gesture. When his cat continued to purr, he kept sliding his hand along the cat's head, to its back, repeating the process until 'Moyashi' was sound asleep. "Heh…already asleep."

His phone softly buzzed, and Kanda groaned as he checked it. It was from Lavi.

"Wow~! You actually picked up for once, Yu~!" Lavi's voice rang through the phone the moment he answered. "I'm proud."

"What do you want?"

"I wanna know how Betsy's doing for starters, and I think I got you some more business if you're up for it."

"What is it?"

"Okay, so a friend of a friend, Lenalee's friend, in fact, uh…lemme see, what did she say her name was? Or was it a dude…"

"Usagi, I'm tired as fuck, if I don't sleep now, I'll never be able to keep with your over hyper ferret."

"Ah! Right, right, so how is Betsy?"

"She's healthy, and…made a new friend." Lavi would find out eventually. Might as well reduce the amount of annoyance in the near future.

"Huh? New friend?"

"On my way home after getting her food for the week, I came across a cat." Kanda sighed, falling back. "He was battered and bruised, but it looked like the attackers had long ago left him for dead. He might as well had been dead if I hadn't passed by."

"Okay…but what does have to do—"

"Shut up. As I've told you the other day, one of your bookshelves fell over. The cause was Moyashi — the cat I found — and Betsy playing."

"Betsy playing, and even getting along with another critter she barely knows? That's actually quite interesting in itself. We both know she doesn't usually take kindly to other animals."

"That, baka usagi, is news to me. I never brought another creature when looking after her before Monday."

"Oh, I wondered what I'd forget to tell ya…huh. I guess it's trivial at this point, right?"

"You're seriously annoying the hell out of me."

"Ah, Yu~! You know you love me!"

"I'm hanging up now."

"Wait, wait! Not just yet!" Kanda rolled his eyes. "There was one other thing I needed to tell ya, besides the other pet-sitting gig I can't really recall too well at the moment."

"Then get on with it."

"Things are going more…er…difficult than Gramps and I thought…so there's really no telling when we're coming back."

"You've got to be kidding me."

"I know right?" Lavi chuckled, "Seriously, see ya whenever, and don't forget take extra good care of Betsy while I'm still away~" Kanda decided to hang up right there.

Eying 'Moyashi', Kanda sighed. He was going to start charging interest with his services…for Lavi. Because he annoyed him, of course.

(* - *)

"So…hungry…" The cat complained when he woke up that morning. Blinking bleary silver eyes, he took notice of his human savior not being there. He…didn't leave him alone did he? Panic started eating at his being as he quickly stood and jumped down from the bed. "Where is he? He didn't leave me alone…did he…? Was I bad? What did I do? Why isn't he here?"

He could feel his heartrate picking up as he ran out of the bedroom, stopping when his nose picked up on something…different. It smelled really good…following his nose he soon made it to the kitchen, silver eyes closing as he pinpointed the scent coming from the stove. He needed to know what that smell was…

"Moyashi? What are you doing here?" Kanda's voice alerted him of the human apparent return. "Don't scare me again, I thought you got out while I was showering."

"Showering…?" The cat's body stiffened as the memory of super cold water being poured over him. Curling into himself, he started shivering, rough hands were massging his frail form, hurting him as they…cleaned him…? Fingers prodding for things the cat couldn't understand, the harsh…who were they?

"Moyashi!" Silver eyes snapped back to the Japanese male, but the fear never left. "Hey, it'll be okay, you're okay…"

"I'm scared…"

"Ssh, ssh, calm down, there's nothing to fear…" Kanda's soothing voice seemed to do the trick, for the tiny cat jumped into the man's chest, catching the human off-guard. "Hey, calm down, Moyashi…"

"I don't want to go back…" Moyashi whined. Just what was that? He found himself thinking. Why would he remember something so terrible? Fearful of being left alone. As he snuggled against Kanda's chest, somehow finding comfort. A large hand started stroking his fur, and then sleep soon took over. He purred.

(* - *)

"You must've been through a lot of shit." Kanda stated, petting the scared fur ball now in his arms. Whatever happened to him, was perhaps worse than Kanda could ever imagine. It just didn't make sense why anyone would do anything horrible to any animal. "I swear, if a day comes I meet those sick fucks, I'll make sure they never do these things ever again."

'Moyashi' was sleeping on the leather couch. Betsy was already by the other, sleep eventually finding her as well. Kanda chuckled at the scene. It was cute. Not that he'd let anyone know of what he'd just thought. Much less about how Betsy and 'Moyashi' were practically siblings to the rabbit. No, this was something he'd keep to himself.

Looking to the clock, Kanda sighed. Seemed it was time for dinner. He'd fix Betsy's meal, and then see what he could do for 'Moyashi'. As he gathered what he needed, his thoughts gathered back to earlier that morning. He didn't realize how long he'd been thinking about it, until he was suddenly interrupted by a loud cat-like shriek.

"MOYASHI!" Dropping what he was doing, he didn't fail to see a frightened cat, and a rather surprised ferret with a small scratch on her cheek. "Shit…Betsy, move away from him slowly."

As though she heard, she did just that. He just had to get 'Moyashi' himself…

If this was like the episode back home…no, this wasn't, Kanda noted. Because at this moment, he realized, 'Moyashi' was having a night terror in the form of a lost memory.

He couldn't be more sure than that.
