Chapter 2
"Cuda! Wait! Stop!" But it was too late. The dog leapt straight at Max, it's eyes focused on his throat. Max couldn't move. He just stood there, eyes wide as the dog charged.
"Max!" Rei dove, pushing Max out of the path of the rampaging dog. The boys sat on the floor where they fell and watched the dog race past them. He was heading for Tyson and Kai.
"Look out!" Rei cried from his seat on the carpet.
The dog leapt. Kai reached out and grabbed the monster by the front paws. With a quick shove, the blader flipped the dog onto it's back and began to scratch it's stomach.
"Now where do you think you're going?" He asked the dog as it relaxed under his touch.
Tyson cocked an eyebrow. "Kai?" When the team captain didn't respond, he looked to the rest of the team for an answer. They shrugged.
"I have a dog, two in fact. I saved them from the pound. I can tell when a dog is just frustrated or wants to kill someone." The dog sat up and licked Kai's face. "Cuda was just surprised to find strangers in his territory. He didn't intend to-"
"Cuda! Get over here!"
The team looked up to find the fat man behind the desk, Mr. Talmon according to his tag, waddling over to them. He bent down and yanked Cuda by the collar. The dog yelped in protest, looking back to Kai for help.
"Let go of him!" Tyson spoke up first.
"Yeah! You're hurting him." Max agreed.
"It's none of your business, kids."
"I think it is. This dog did nothing to you. You have no reason to be dragging him around like that. It's cruelty to animals and against the law." Kai argued. He hated to see people punish animals for no reason. "I suggest that you let that dog go or we'll get the police and ask them what they think of Cuda." The dog's eyes widened and he seemed to smile. It was like he understood every word Kai had said. Kai would have found that weird had he had time to notice but Mr. Talmon shoved Cuda back through the door before the teen could notice his expression.
"Follow me." The fat man gestured to a door to the left of the door that Cuda was shoved in. The door led to a small room. Opposite of teens was a glass door that led outside. Cages lined the walls to their right. Dog food and dog toy displays lined the wall to their left. There were only three cages with animals in them despite the large number of cages. Mr. Talmon sat behind a desk to the Bladebreakers' immediate right.
"Welcome to custom pets." He said, gesturing to the room around him. "The perfect pet guaranteed or your money back!"
Kai was the first to make a move. He strode across the room and knelt down in front of a cage with a German shepherd puppy in it. He stuck his fingers through the bars, tickling the dog's ears and nose. A small smile crossed his face when the puppy licked his fingers.
"This is the reason Cuda is in the back room. He's a custom pet. The perfect watchdog for a man and his wife." Mr. Talmon explained.
"So, the famous Kai Hiwartari actually smiles." Tyson strode up behind Kai, watching him play with the puppy.
"I'm a dog person." Kai stated bluntly, the smile gone. It came back when the puppy jumped up against the bars of the cage. It whined pitifully.
"He's so cute." Max said, kneeling next to Kai. "Whoever is getting him sure is lucky." Rei nodded but he was more interested in the kitten two cages down. It was a black and white kitten with a perfect white star in the middle of its forehead.
Then, Kai noticed something. The puppy's eyes, there was something human about them.
Second chapter complete! Weeee! I feel special! Just one question: Does Kai seem a little OC to you? Well, I guess having two dogs is a bit OC. Oh well, Review please!
