Chapter 2
CRASH! BANG! TRASH! CLANG, CLANG, CLANG!
"What the?" Heero asked no one in particular before softly walking to the kitchen. He'd just come home from a mission that took almost two weeks longer then expected and was about to head for a nice shower and bed when he heard the crashing of pots and pans in the kitchen. He figured it wasn't one of the others since they all knew their way around the mansion blindly, so he drew his gun and went to said kitchen. When he got there he almost dropped his gun. There on the kitchen top sat a small figure the size of a small child with cat ears and a tail. Slowly Heero put on the light and observed the small figure before him. He shook his head.
"I must be going crazy. Tomorrow I think I'll take up that vacation Une mentioned earlier today." he murmured turning off the light and walking out of the kitchen.
"Don't shoot her!" a sudden yell came from the stairs as Duo jumped down the last seven steps.
"I didn't now if you'll excuse me I'm going to take a long nap and in the morning I'm calling Une. Girls with cat ears and tails raiding our fridge, right I'm in serious need of a vacation." Heero said walking past Duo toward the stairs shaking his head.
"Uh, Heero there IS a cat girl in the kitchen." Duo said nervously.
"Say what?" Heero said walking back to the kitchen where Duo was now holding said cat girl.
"Her name's Neko I found her while I was out hiking. Those Mesa soldiers are after her. I thought she'd be safer here with us and well Quat said it's okay if you and Tro agree she can stay with us and Tro already said yes so it's up to you whether or not she stays. So…" Duo said looking at his friend with pleading eyes. Neko jumped out of Duo's arms and slowly walked to Heero inspecting him from all sides before reaching out her tiny arms to him waiting for him to lift her of the ground like the others had. Heero looked down as the girl walked on hands and feet around him sniffing and looking then stopping before him putting out her hands with razor sharp nails and waiting. He sighed and bent down not sure how to pick the small child up and held out his own hands for her to climb into. The cat girl smiled and climbed into his awaiting arms and as Heero stood up again she licked him, curled up in his arms and fell asleep.
"Guess she likes you." Duo said softly smiling at the sight.
"I guess. So where does she sleep?" Heero asked as the two walked up the stairs.
"Well she does have her own room next to mine but she prefers to sleep with one of us." Duo said.
"Want me to put her in her own bed then?" Heero asked.
"Sure though she'll probably end up sleeping with Fei again." Duo said smiling at the memory of finding her for the first time in Wufei's bed curled up against the Chinese youth that had his arms around the child in a protective way.
"She can stay but you'll have to report to Une about this. Night Duo." Heero whispered as he left for his own room.
"I will first thing tomorrow. Night Heero." Duo whispered as he entered his own room.
'What the?' Heero thought opening his eyes to see what intruded his personal space. He found that Neko was sitting above his head curiously staring at him while licking every so often.
"Okay, Okay I'm awake. What is it?" he asked as he looked at the girl. She grinned before running off. Being awake now Heero decided to get up and went downstairs to the shared kitchen where he found the others staring at him.
"What?" he asked annoyed at them staring.
"Not commenting on the fact that you seem to be the last to wake today instead of the usual first; look up." Duo said trying not to laugh. Heero sighed and looked up only to come face to face with a pair of honey-brown eyes.
"So that's where you went, huh?" Heero asked as he pulled the cat girl off his head and put her down. Duo smiled and let the tip of his braid swish over the floor while watching Neko chase it with her eyes before leaping at it. They all laughed at the sight and Quatre put down some food for Heero.
A month later after diner Duo got a call from Une requesting him and Wufei to report in her office for a mission. Quatre went to WEI as always and Trowa who had several days off went to visit Cathy at the circus. Leaving only Heero at the mansion.
"Heero? Eh since I've got another mission with Fei and the other's aren't here. Could you watch Neko? I don't wanna take her with me because I don't want her to get hurt and all, so could you eh well…" Duo asked fidgeting with his braid.
"Sure, I was going to see Relena but I'm sure she won't mind Neko coming with me. Just make sure you come back or I'll kill you myself." Heero said taking the cat girl with him as they went to his part of the mansion.
"Thanks man! And don't worry you guys are the only ones that are allowed to kill me. See you later Neko. Listen to Heero okay?" Duo said hugging the girl before running down the stairs to Wufei who was waiting for him in the car. Heero looked out his open window and smiled as he could hear the two boys arguing about Duo's habit to nickname everyone and other things. He was surprised that Duo used his name for a change; he must've been worried that he wouldn't watch over Neko if he didn't.
"So you're with me today huh? Well if we're going to visit the vice foreign minister we'll have to change your clothes. We wouldn't want her to preach about the proper way to do things again." Heero told the small cat girl as he took her to Duo's part of the mansion.
"Let's see what clothes you have." Heero said opening the closet that contained Neko's clothes and pulling out a nice baby-blue dress. Holding it before the girl he shook his head, smiling at the glare the girl gave the dress and him. Putting it back he pulled out a black t-shirt and long dark-blue pants and shook his head again. After about two hours of looking and matching he finally found something that was perfect for where they were going and started to dress her in the faded pink button-up shirt with puffy sleeves and a red skirt with a bow on the back and a nice summer hat. When the task of dressing the squirming girl was done Heero looked at her and packed the clothes she had been wearing along with a cap for when they'd leave Relena's along with a more casual outfit for himself. Neko glared at him and he smiled.
"Come on it's not that bad, wait actually it is but the point is it's only for the visit. If you'll behave we'll go out for ice-cream afterwards." He said looking at the girl as they went to his car.
"Isceam!" Neko chanted over and over as she hopped in the car and let Heero put on her safety-belt. Heero smiled at the girl Quatre had offered Duo to help him teach the girl to speak; Duo had taken the offer immediately seeing as he wasn't exactly the type to teach that kind of things. Unfortunately for Quatre Neko had little patience and it took a lot of time for her to learn to speak even if it was mostly broken speech with missing or misplaced letters or simple children's babbling.
"Heero! I'm so glad you could stop by; it's been so long since I've seen any of you." Relena said as she let Heero in and hugged him.
"Eh, Relena. Please don't scream. This is Neko. Duo found her in the woods over a month ago and she's staying with him now. Duo had a mission so I promised to watch her, but Neko isn't exactly normal." Heero said choosing his words carefully before stepping aside to reveal the little cat girl who had taken off her hat.
"Oh my, she's eh- she has eh-. Well Hi there Neko I'm Relena." Relena stuttered for a moment before kneeling down in front of the girl and holding out her hands. Neko looked at Heero with a look that said -do I have too?-. Heero smile encouraging.
"Say hi to Relena Neko." Heero said.
"Hi…" Neko started but frowned deeply as though she were thinking of something very difficult.
"Hi…Re-Li; Re-Li. Hi Lena!" Neko finally said with a nod of her small head.
"She's so adorable!" Relena smiled. The two grownups and the cat girl went to the living area where Neko immediately went to explore the new and strange environment under Heero's watchful gaze.
"So Duo found her and now he's her dad?" Relena asked as they drunk their tea while Neko explored the room.
"Yes, he's doing a great job. He managed to teach her how to eat properly within a week." Heero said smiling as Neko found Relena's purse and investigated its contents. Sneezing when she found the facial power and opened it.
"Oh my, come let's clean up this mess. I shouldn't have left that there." Relena laughed at the now white faced cat girl.
"I'll clean Neko up." Heero said taking the cat girl to the nearest shower.
Heero sighed as he finally cleaned off the last of the facial powder from Neko's face and took her back to the living area.
"There all clean, now try not to get yourself dirty again, okay Neko?" Heero said as he led the girl back.
"Otay." Neko said while scratching her stomach a little.
Heero and Relena talked about how they were doing and how their jobs were going. They had supper in the garden as Neko played around there and after a while Milliardo stopped by to visit and joined them. Again Neko was introduced and her presence explained as she tried to say hi to this new man.
"Hi, Mi-Milli-Milji. Hi mista." Neko finally said giving up on pronouncing the impossible name.
"Hi there little one. She's cute." Milliardo said smiling as he said down.
Neko watched the new stranger sit down and more importantly his long hair. She went into pounce mode and chased his long hair catching it just as he stood up to leave.
"Huh?" Milliardo said confused by the sudden attack on his hair.
"Neko let go! What did Daddy say about that?" Heero asked sternly.
"Onwy with Dawwy?" Neko asked softly.
"Yes now say sorry to Milliardo." Heero said calmly.
"Sowwy Mista." Neko said looking at the floor.
"That's okay. Go on and play." Milliardo said kindly to the little girl.
"Sorry I should've warned you. Duo let's her chase his braid as a game, but she tends to forget that." Heero mumbled sitting down again.
"It's okay really. So you Duo's planning on keeping her huh? I hope he knows what he's doing." Milliardo said smiling at the cat girl that went to chase a small bird through the garden.
"Well basically she is Duo's responsibility but upon request the others and I are more then willing to help him out. Duo even plans on making her officially his daughter." Heero said smiling at the memory of the braided man telling them excitedly about his plans on how to accomplish this. Looking down when he feels a tug on his sleeve he sees Neko with her shirt unbuttoned.
"Heeo? Heeo? Uh oh!" Neko said tugging his sleeve with one hand and pointing at her tummy with the other. Heero looked at her Tummy and discovered large red marks on it.
"Uh oh." Heero mumbled.
"Is something wrong Heero?" Relena asked.
"I think I'll have to cut this visit short. Neko has red marks all over her body; I think I have to take her to see Sally again. She's Neko's personal doctor with her being half cat and all we thought it'd be best not to see some unknown doctor." Heero said as he checked the small girl.
"Let me see." Milliardo said getting up and looking at the girl's body.
"I think it's her clothes, she seems to be allergic to them. But you're right to go see Sal about it." Milliardo said getting up again and sitting down.
"Sal? It's me. Listen I'm coming over with Neko. Duo had a mission so I promised to watch her, but she suddenly got red marks all over her body. Milliardo thinks it might be an allergic reaction to her clothes, but she has been playing with Relena's make up this morning so I wanted to ask you to look at it to make sure. We'll be there in ten minutes. Thanks." Heero said before putting away his cell phone again.
"Hi Neko." Sally said when Heero and the cat girl walked into her office.
"Hi Sawwy. Neko Uh oh." Neko smiled at the nice doctor.
"Yes Heero told me. Come sit over here and I'll have a look. Hm, these are definitely from her clothes. Neko seems to be allergic to them. From now on only let her wear natural fibre clothes, no more synthetic fibres. This ointment will make the rash go away. Just put it on the rash whenever it itches." Sally said.
"It's a good thing I took some casual clothes with me as well. They're made of cotton." Heero said with a sigh as they left the office.
"Heeo! Isceam!" Neko said tugging Heero's sleeve again.
"I know; I know. Come on." Heero laughed taking the girl by the hand and putting her cap on her head again.
"One chocolate chip ice-cream with a small cone and one strawberry with a medium cone please." Heero said as the owner of the shop walked up to him and Neko. The owner smiled and made the order handing the small chocolate chip one to Neko and The strawberry to Heero. Heero looked at Neko who held up the chocolate chip ice-cream cone and smiled as they switched before leaving the shop and a confused owner and returned to the car and home. Once they got home Neko had finished her Ice-cream. It was pretty late so they decided to keep diner simple with a pair of sandwiches with grilled cheese and bacon.
