Chapter Two: The Real Kitty Cat

"Bastard, wake up," Yzak rolled Dearka over in the bed. "Athrun is here to see you."

Dearka groaned as the aggressive man stood over his bed. "What…time is it?"

Yzak turned his head in disgust. "Pass noon you drunkard."

Dearka rubbed his eyes and looked at his superior. "You're just pissed because you had to work last night and couldn't go to the bar with us. Get over it, Prima Madonna."

"Kuso!" Yzak walked out of the bedroom and shouted at Athrun to go in.

Athrun walked into the room. "You're like an old married couple. People are going to talk."

"They already are," the blonde moved into a sitting position. "The two hottest men in ZAFT sharing an apartment and not a single woman between them, they must be gay.' That's just one of the endless gossips."

The dark-haired pilot sat on the edge of the bed and pulled off his sunglasses. Dearka saw Athrun's black eye and bruised face for the first time.

"Holy shit! Kitty's got claws."

"That why I'm here," Athrun began. "It wasn't Cagalli, but Kira. What did you tell him about my cat last night? He stormed into my apartment and began to beat me up because of my cat."

"Your cat or your "kitty cat,"' Dearka used air quotes to emphasis the difference.

"What did you tell him about my cat, cat?"

Dearka took a moment to remember the conversation. He had a couple of drinks but nothing that would make him be confused about the two cats in Athrun's life. The two pilots had made a clear distinction between the real cat and Athrun's "Kitty Cat." The real cat was simply the giant blonde fur ball which Cagalli had given him four months ago. Athrun's "Kitty Cat" on the other hand was a code for the famed Orb Princess, because of her feline features and fierce attitude.

Dearka dubbed Cagalli the "Kitty Cat" after Athrun had turned to him for advice on bedroom activities. The blonde pilot had advised the other on the prospect of role-playing, which leaded Athrun to play a game of having a pet cat. Cagalli being a good sport took her role of kitty cat very well. Soon being the adorable kitty was a game the two lovers took on frequently. And that was when Cagalli got Athrun Cat-galli as a joke. No one knew about the joke except Dearka and another person, which Cagalli had confided in.

"I don't know," Dearka thought thoroughly. "I'm sure I never mentioned the game you play. Or about rhinestone collar, or the saucer, or the very expensive set of cat ears and tail you brought for her. Nope I never mention anything about your…wait."

Athrun glared at Dearka moving closer to the blonde. "Wait, what? You didn't? What happened?"

Dearka chuckled uneasily. "Well I think I called Cat-galli, kitty cat, instead cat. So everything I mentioned about the cat, I guess Kira thought I was talking about his sister."

"Great no wonder he wanted to kill me."

"Why did he stop beating you up. Personally I would kill any man that treated my sister as a cat, even if it is for sexual gain. But Cagalli isn't my sister so I really don't care."

Athrun raised an eyebrow at the man, but decided to ignore his rambling. "Cagalli showed up with the cat and Kira realized it was just a stupid misunderstanding. But he did ask if she has worn a bell for me before."

"Hey be grateful he didn't ask if she has ever worn a rhinestone collar for you before."

Athrun chuckled. "So anything happened after I left."

"Not a damn thing. I didn't even find a lovely lady to keep my company. So after Kira left, to beat you up, I had a couple more beers and then came home to wonderfully sweet person in the next room."

"I heard that bastard!"

Athrun and Dearka looked at the door in shock. Dearka just waved his hand. "I love you anyway, Yzak."

Athrun glared at the blonde who just smiled. "So Athrun, did your "kitty cat" lick those terrible wounds of yours."

"Now why should I tell you? How do I know next you get drunk you won't be phoning Kira to tell him about the furry cat paws she brought just for my birthday? Or that she still prancing in my apartment in her kitty costume waiting for her master to come home and show her affection."

"Why the hell are you here? Get your ass back to that pussy cat."

Athrun shook his head. "Not yet. She has to suffer for something she did last night. And I took your advice on buying that 'special item.'"

Dearka eyes widen. "I've created a monster."

"Well you said it wasn't going to be easy to tame that kitty cat," he stood up from the bed. "But I'm pretty sure after this punishment she will be a very willing pussy cat."

"Have fun," Dearka shouted as Athrun walked out the room.

Meanwhile in Athrun's Apartment…

Lacus was carrying a wrapped package as Kira lead her to their friend's apartment. Haro was bouncing around singing happy birthday and twirled around the corner of the hall. Lacus smiled at the tiny mechanical ball, and looked up at Kira.

"Are you alright Kira?"

Kira smiled the pink-haired songstress. He had neglected to tell her about the events of last night or exactly how he had gotten a black eye. "I'm fine Lacus."

They saw Haro bouncing in front of Athrun's door. "Are you sure its alright we didn't call, Kira. I mean he could be out."

"Lacus I'm pretty sure Athrun's home. There is no need to worry."

Lacus looked at the door uneasily. "Well if you say so."

Kira noticed her gaze. "Is everything already? You seem to know something."

Her blue eyes looked startled at his words. "I know nothing, Kira. I just hate showing unexpected to people's house that's all."

Kira gazed at the girl once more. He wasn't sure why she was so flustered normally she loved to visit her former fiancé, especially for Haro's sake. But here she was twisting the perfectly wrapped package in her hands and staring at the door expecting something to happen.

"What's going on in there? Is Cagalli in there? Is he doing something that I'm not aware of? Lacus tell me!"

"I…I…" Lacus refused to look at Kira knowing she would easily collapse. "I don't know anything, Kira."

"Stop lying," Kira slammed his hand on the door. "You know something. Now talk."

Lacus opened her month to speak, but before she could the front door opened.

"Mew, Master Athrun, did you forget your keys? Or do you want to keep me suffering, mew. Get this terrible thing off me. Meow. I'll do anything master. Please master, mew!"

Lacus shook her head as Kira took in the sight before him. His sister was standing in the doorway of his best friend's apartment wearing nothing but glorified furry underwear, platform heels, a tail, paws, cat ears, and diamond studded collar.

"Ki…Ki….Kira," Cagalli hide behind the door, shielding herself from her brother's gaze. "It's not what you think? I'm just. It's just. I…Lacus help."

Kira turned from his sister's face and glared at the small woman next to him. The vocalist was moving slowly away from him in an attempt to run away. "You knew about this," he pointed to his sister. "Why didn't tell me anything? Is it because I decided we needed to take things slowly? Is that why you're hiding the fact that my sister has been slee…sleep…sleeping with my supposed best friend!"

Cagalli and Lacus caught each other's eyes and together shout, "Look Tori!"

Just as Kira turned to look, Lacus ran toward the elevators and Cagalli shut the door. Kira looked for the two women. He had to choices chase after Lacus or wait for Athrun. The thought didn't need to linger, he would wait for his "best friend" and caught him off guard as he came back home to his "kitty cat."

"You got away once Athrun Zala, but now you will feel the full extend of my rage. No one and I mean no one makes my little sister dress up as a cat for his own personal pleasure."

Author's Word:

Well for those who wanted another part to Athrun's Kitty Cat now have it. I originally intended it to be a one shot deal, but I thought against. This is the conclusion of the story, so much for Kira having a simple misunderstanding about the "kitty cat"!
