Part Two:
"Miaowrr." A tiny black kitten stood in the doorway, holding out a single white paw that looked as if it had been dipped in the floury paint of a geisha.
Aoshi let out a sigh. It was just a cat, looking for food, no doubt. Well, he was not carrying a single crumb with him, so it would just have to go somewhere else. He paused for a moment, wondering how the little beast could have possibly gotten inside, before dismissing the thought and turning back to the letters, folded neatly on his desk.
He picked up the letter he had been studying once again, running his fingers across the rough yellow surface of the rice paper, tracing the black ink of each meticulous brushstroke. Then he shook his head, cursing his curiosity. He had thought himself above such petty human desires. What was written in the letters was not his business, and he should not have opened them in the first place. He swiftly folded the paper and placed it on his desk once more. He would have to decide what to do with them later.
"Mrowwrrr," insisted the cat in the doorway. The damn thing was still there, and he hadn't even noticed.
Aoshi turned and glared morosely at the black kitten. "Koneko-san," he said sternly. "I don't have any food. Go away."
