all that other stuff.

Katsuya immediately went under the table and hopped onto one of the chairs, eyeing Baofu and staying quiet. Baofu sat down, and hit the buttons to start up the computer. As the machine booted up, he grabbed the newspaper and eyed the headlines.
[I don't care about his wire-tapping and silly internet things anymore...] He thought to himself. [I'm gonna stay here until they get back.]
Baofu typed away for about two hours, and every once in a while he'd stare at the slight reflection in the monitor and see Katsuya watching him. Another half-hour passed, and Baofu grew bored with typing, so he span around in the chair and faced Katsuya, flashing him a friendly smile.
"Here kitty kitty..." he made a clicking noise with his tongue. Katsuya froze in horror.
[No! I'm not coming!] Katsuya meowed.
"Oh come on..." Baofu leaned forward and scooped up the animal. Katsuya cried out. "You're not in trouble...am I not allowed to hold you? You're too shy and jumpy even as a freakin' cat...you need to relax..."
[Let's go of me!] Katsuya struggled, but was obviously not strong enough to wriggle free from the tall man's grasp.
Baofu pet his back, and flipped his tail tuft with his index finger. "This is too easy." He took his wide hand, and held it in front of Katsuya's escape routes, showing off just how much bigger he was compared to the feline. All Katsuya ran into was the leather black material of the glove when he tried to run away.
"Ha ha, you can't escape..." Baofu found great pleasure in messing around with the cat.
[Must....get....free....must...find....hiding spot!...] Katsuya cried out in pathetic mews, too slow for Baofu's quick movement. Eventually Baofu scooped him up again and held him in the air, having him hover over his face.
"Ha ha! Just as I thought!" He grinned. "I swear, one of these days I'm gonna make you a man....that is, if you ever return to normal."
[WHAT?! NO WAY!] Katsuya wanted to let his fuzzy jaw drop.

"Got any threes?" Igor eyed his hand of cards.
"~Go....fish....~" Belladonna sung.
"Do you ever stop singing?" Nameless sat with his cards.
"~I...would...shut up....especially....since....you've no idea....what cards....you hold....~"
"She's got you there." The Demon Artist snickered.
Nameless sighed, dropping his cards.
"HEY! You said you didn't have any sevens, piano boy!"
They all perked up when they heard Maya laughing outside.
"Shit..."
"Hurry! Back to your positions!" Igor herded his fellow employees.
---
"So Mr. Suou is now a cat..." Igor sat on his chair prim and proper, hands on his lap and patiently listening to Maya, Ulala, and Tatsuya.
"Yes...the demon Erinys did it to him."
"My memory is foggy....tell me....did you return Helios?" He scratched his head.
Maya pulled out the group's cards, frantically looking for the cat Persona.
"Hmmm....Shax....Hel....Iris....." she went through the cards one by one, careful not to skip any.
"Do you have it?" Tatsuya peered over Maya's shoulder.
"Damn!" Ulala saw Maya go for the last card, which was Otohime, the Persona Katsuya had been using in place of Helios.
"We must have returned him, then."
"Then you must resummon him."
"What? I thought it wasn't possible!"
"Well, it is, but it requires many different Tarot cards to do. A majority will have to be Moon, because the spell on Katsuya was caused by that type of demon."
"That's not very logical..." Tatsuya scratched his head.
"You're starting to sound like Baofu..." Ulala laughed.
"Oh well, we're dealing with beings from the Other Side...I think I'm getting to used to our side again." He laughed.
"So, we get the Tarot cards required, and bring them here?"
"Precisely." Igor nodded.
"If you get any blank tarot, you know who to talk to." The Demon Artist grinned.
"Duh." Ulala poked fun at the painter.
"Yup!" Maya smiled. "Let's go, gang!"
---
[THIS ISN'T FUNNY!]
"Ha ha ha! This is great!" Baofu was sitting on Ulala's bed with Katsuya, throwing the sheets over the kitten and watching him struggle out.
[Baofu, I swear I'm gonna kill you-] he poked his head out and glared at Baofu.
"Hup! You got out." Baofu threw the sheets back over Katsuya again and laughed. "Come on Kat-chan, come get me." He hopped onto the bed and covered the obvious openings, leaving few exits.
[Kat-CHAN?!] Katsuya got mad and fought even harder through the comforters. He succeeded again, and ran towards the pillows. Baofu snickered.
"You're getting good at this."
Katsuya panted, and tried to run away, but Baofu covered him a third time.
[WHAT THE HELL?] Little cries of frustration came from under the covers.
"Come on Katsuya, admit it, you're having fun."
[I'm not! Help me, dammit!]
A few silent minutes passed, and Baofu waited for the cat to poke it's furry head out, but noticed there was no moving lump under the sheets.
"Huh? What's he doing now..." the wiretapper lifted the sheet and found the sleeping cat. "Hey..." He picked up the cat, who stayed asleep even in his grasp. "That's disgustingly.....cute." Katsuya's breathing also uttered a purring sound which Baofu noticed seconds later as he set the kitten on his chest. "I hate cats...but I like you."

"Okay, let's do this." The trio decided to enter the shut-down Seven Sister High School to find demons. The walked down the hallway side-by-side, Tatsuya and Ulala on the left and right of Maya.
"This will be easy, but time-consuming." Tatsuya unsheathed his sword.
Maya eyed the sword cautiously. "Do you use your sword for all battles?"
"Yeah!" He swung it in front of them through the air. "Why?"
"Oh..." she said, breaking her voice. "Just...curious. Heh!"
Tatsuya cocked his head, then refocused on their mission.
"Grraaaaaarrrr!!!!"
"Guzfan!" Tatsuya lifted his sword at the demon that had instantly appeared.
"Wait!!" Maya stopped him, then approached Guzfan with Ulala by her side.
"Don't."
"Why?"
"We have a contract." Maya and Ulala smiled at the overweight demon, hovering just above the floor by use of its tiny dragon wings.
"Damn." Tatsuya became disappointed and sheathed his sword.
"Friends..." it growled.
"Guzfan, do you have any Tarot cards for us?"
"Let me see...I have these." He handed them a couple of Hanged Man cards.
"Thanks! Could you tell us where we could get more?"
"Uh...." The demon thought as hard as his little brain could.
"We're better off looking for ourselves..." Tatsuya whispered to Maya.
"Ssssh!!"
"Box upstairs have dem." he grinned.
"Really?"
"In da room wit' all da spinny gear thingies..."
"The Clock Tower!"
"C'mon!"
"Thank you Guzfan!" Maya called back.
"Bye bye."
"Let's hurry up, I bet Baofu is going nuts."
"I just hope Katsuya's okay!" Tatsuya worried.
