"Well boys, you have a new team member." Manx announced. And stepped aside, revealing Cat in all her tired, hungry, stooping glory. Cat gave a weak smile. "This is Cat. Her code name is Bengal, and her image flower is the Tiger Lily. Tomorrow I will de-brief you all, but at the moment Cat here needs some food and somebody's couch to sleep on." The tallest stepped forwards, clearing his throught. "Well Manx, you know she could always bunk in with me…" He trailed off smiling at Cat, who blushed furiously and stepped backwards towards the door. "No Youji. She is definitely not sharing your room. Ken do you mind if we put her in with you? Just for tonight, tomorrow we'll get her settled in the extra room." The other tall man with dark hair nodded his eyes alight with curiosity. "Alright then, that's settled, Ken do you want to take her up, get her settled on your couch, lend her a T-shirt to sleep in. Once she is settled comeback down, Omi, I want you to quickly run out and get her some ramen." The smallest boy nodded and slipped past Cat to exit and head down the street.
Manx turned to Cat and spoke. "You go with Ken, and I'll warn you now, stay far far away from Youji. We'll do the introduction thing in the morning, but Youji was the one who was very eager to have you bunk with him." Cat just nodded, feeling her eyelids begin to droop. She picked up her bag from where it sat behind her and headed towards Ken who was heading through the door that the guys had come through to get into the flower shop. Going up the stairs she stumbled once and Ken raced downwards to take her bag and help her the rest of the way to his room. After he opened the door he half carried her/half dragged her in to a smaller room and sat her on the edge of a large bed. He left her side for a second to comeback with a large T-shirt.
"Here, you can wear this to sleep. Don't bother searching for the couch, you can have the bed." His brown eyes scanned across her face as she tried to protest. "If you need anything, I'll be in the outer room. You'll be fine here, I swear." He stood and left. Cat slowly shucked her clothes and pulled on his shirt, unaware that he had comeback to give her a glass of water. She crawled on to the bed and pulled half of the blankets over her. She lay her head down and Ken unfroze from his position at the door. Setting the water down on the bedside table, he pulled the rest of the blankets over her and left.
Ken left his rooms and intercepted Omi on the stairs. "She already asleep, I think. I put her in my bed. Take the ramen in and put it on the bedside table. Be quiet, she needs sleep." Omi nodded and took Ken's key then continued on his way. Ken joined Manx, Youji and Aya in the flower shop, waiting for Omi to return. After a moment Omi returned and tossed Ken his key. Instantly Youji, Aya and Omi began a barrage of questions. Manx struggled to answer them and finally began. "Well, she is a Canadian and." Ken cut her off. "Manx, you do realize she's pregnant, don't you?"
