'Beep.beep.beep.' Miroku's alarm went off. He woke up, got dressed, and was ready to walk out the door when he remembered the cat he found last night. Callie was sitting in her bed he made for her the night before. "Come on, you're coming to work with me," he said. He picked her up and headed out the door into his car.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Good morning, Kiki," Miroku said as he walked into the door.
"You scared me," she replied. "Why do you have a cat with you?"
"I found her abandoned in my carport, so I'm taking care of her, and her name is Callie," he said.
"Okay, well that's good for you," she said. A tap on the glass was heard.
"Hello, open up," Ivan said.
"You have a customer," Kiki said. Miroku went to the counter and put the cat on the counter.
"A cat? I hate cats!" Ivan said, and tried to catch the helpless kitten. Miroku hit Ivan and grabbed the cat.
"No, that's cruelty to animals. And besides, what did Callie ever do to you?" Miroku questioned.
"Nothing, but-" and Ivan was interrupted.
"Then don't try to kill her," Miroku said calmly. With that, he walked off, and made Ivan's coffee, then brought it to him. Cat came up the road.
"What a cute cat!" she squealed.
"Why, thank you," he said in a smooth voice. "He was abandoned on my carport. Later I found a note that said to take care of her. Her name is Callie."
"She is so cute, but can I get some coffee?" she questioned.
"Coming right up," he said, and walked off while Cat played with Callie.
He returned with her coffee, and took the cat to put her in a bed. Ivan and Cat left and Miroku cleaned off the counter. "Bye!" he yelled to Kiki, and walked out the door. He saw Sango waiting for him by his car.
"I need a ride," Cat said.
"My pleasure to take you," he said. With that she plopped into his car and buckled her seatbelt.
"Let's go, I'm late as it is. I got to switch my hours," she said.
"Okay, I'm coming," he gently put the cat in Cat's lap, and then got into the car.

"C'mon, lets pick the pace up," Cat said.
"Is it my fault your bike was stolen," Miroku said.
"No, but the boss is going to kill me," she said. She aced into Hot Topic. "I already checked with our other boss and he just moved my hours to your time," she said. Then she went to talk to the boss. Five minutes later she came out. "She switched my hours to the same as yours," she said to Miroku.
"Great, I mean, how convenient," he said, trying not to sound excited. They worked until time was up. Then they shopped around, because today the other shop was closed. It was some Japanese holiday today.
"Hey, look at this cute happy bunny cat bed," he showed Cat.
"How cute! You should get it for Callie. What about this stuff?" she said.
"Cool. You should get all that stuff," he said, while looking at certain things and picking some stuff up. Soon they were checked out and they left.
"Hey, do you want to come play with Callie at my house? But first, I got to go to Petsmart to get some stuff for her," he said.
"Sure, whatever," she said.
They walked out of the mall, with the cat in her bed. "Hey Cat, the car's this way," Miroku said.
"Oh, yeah, right. Sorry, I'm used to grabbing my bike and riding off," she said.
"Yeah well, let's go to Petsmart," he said. He put the cat down, got in the car, waited for Cat to get in, and drove off.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Okay, I need food, toys, a catbox, and some kitty litter," Miroku said to himself, half aloud and half to himself.
"Let's go look for the stuff," Cat said, while holding Callie. They got all the stuff, checked out, and headed for Miroku's house.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
They stopped at a really nice house with a garage and a beautiful courtyard. "This is our house?" she asked amazed.
"It used to be my parents house, but they died in a car accident," he said. "So, how did you get to the coffee shop if you don't have a bike?" Miroku asked.
"I live really close to it. Do you have a guestroom, because if you do I'll just stay here for the night, so you don't have to drive me home," she said.
He of course couldn't decline. "But what about your clothes?" Miroku had to ask.
"I got a new outfit today at Hot Topic," she replied. "So do you?"
"Yes," he said. "But it is Kind of a mess, so you'll have to sleep in the extra bed in my room," he said.
"Okay," she said. 'I don't see why I just can't sleep on the couch,' she thought.
They fixed a little place for the cat in Miroku's room, then they talked for a while. "You have really pretty eyes," he said.
"Thank you," she said and blushed. "Oh, would you look at the time," she said to distract him. "Time for dinner." She got up off the couch and started to make dinner. Miroku fixed up his room a little.
"Dinner!" she shouted and Miroku came in the kitchen.
"What did you make?" he asked.
"I made some spaghetti with garlic bread and the red sauce has meat and basil in it," she said. "And for dessert, angel food cake."
Miroku watched her gracefully put the food on the plates and give one to him. They walked to the table, sat down, and ate in silence.
"Well, I'd better get to bed," Cat said and walked into Miroku's bedroom. She closed the door and went to bed. Miroku soon went to bed, too.
NOTE~ Still r/r. I think this story stinks, still. What do you think?
