CH.4: Uninvited;Unrequieted.

(Duo's POV)

Butterscotch collided with blueberry,Ice melted into fire,My eyes met hers and i knew it was all over.eyelashes that couldnt be real,fell over pupils that had a reason to be concealed.they reminded me of those fly-catching-plants,with two sets of teeth waiting to intrap an oblivious fly.Or were they called man-eating plants?They might as well have bean man-eating,because thats exactly what those eyes did.Once you looked into them,you were trapped.Man-trapping-eyes.

Yeah.

Thats what they were.

And i knew,that i had seen those eyes before,because they could only belong to one being on this planet..however,this was a girl.Not a cat.

Or so I thought.

It wasn't until Trowa flicked on the light,that i realized what the strange texture was i had felt upon lifting her out of the car.

Two,fury cat ears.Midnight-blueish black,with white on the tip.I dare myself to challenge my theory,as my eyes fell upon a limp tail hanging off the tail,onto the floor.

Maybe Heero wasnt the only one who had a little much to drink?

But even though her eyes,and feline features reminded me of her.what did he call her?-Neko-Something in my mind said

'Duo.are you stupid?'

Because the bottom line was she was a girl.

and Neko was a cat.

"Duo...?Are you okay?"

I snapped out of my thoughtful trance."Y-yeah,Q.Im fine..she just..reminds me of an old freind" "oh..."

Although i knew they didn't beileve me,i couldnt let them in my crazy theories.Getting up to my feet,after a long yawn and stretch i headed upstairs.Once you start to see and think things-thats when you know its time to go to bed-and mine was calling me.

--

As i pranced down the stairs,just the thought of getting 9 whole hours of sleep made me all energized.However the sound of confrontation perked me up even more.Stopping in the hall way i watched as Heero stood about a foot away from the mystery girl we had found last night.Apparently she was now with the living,and Heero's hangover had subsided.

"Heero!Don't you remember me?"She asked.

Her voice was high,but cheerful,even if her face showed question.Dark Jade locks cascaded down to atleast her hip,she stood at Heero's chest-must not have been any taller than 5'6.Kind of short.It was normal for a girl,she looked to be about 17,barely 18,it was her overall size that made me think.

She was so skinny.

I feared her making Heero jealous,for one touch would break the fragile thing.

what the hell am i thinking?

Heero's not the kind to get real upset.especially not enough to hit a girl-its one of his few morals.

And i always realized that i wasn't seeing things last night.The ears and tail were still there.dammit.

"I..." Heero looked as if he were searchign for words.As if what he had planned to see needed to be re-evaluated.Thats when Trowa entered.

"Heero," he said,aproaching the soldier."I forgot to tell you,i found your necklace..." Trowa held out his arm,in hand dangled a silver chan,a nametag hung from it.

"But i never lost it..."

For once in my life,i saw Heero not look so sure,infact,pure puzzle ment claimed his face as he examined the ornament.

"I gave it to ne..where did you find this!"

His toned was suddenly accusing,Trowa noticed it too,lightening up a bit,he looked Heero straight in the eyes.

"On her neck."He pointed to the girl.Heero just stood there.eyes roaming from Trowa,to the necklace,to the girl a few times.until his arms reached up to her neck,she flinched,but he was done in a second.clasping the necklace around her neck,the tag read the name "Yuy" in gold letters.

"This belongs to you," he said."Neko."

The girl smiled,clasping her arms around his neck "Heero,i missed you!" Two thoughts ran through my head:

1:She's going to choke him

2:How dare her touch him like that.My Heero,like that.

After atleast a minute of embrace the girl stood her distance,both of them smiling.the once lifeless cat ears,now perked up towards the ceiling.

Stupid ugly ears.

"Im still confused...you have to explain something to me.everything to me."Heero had a smile on his face,but it was slowly starting to become crooked."She nodded.

"Yes,we have a lot to talk about..but first things first." She took a step forward,and i clenched my fist.For a moment i thought she was going to kiss him,and i definently wouldn't be having any of that.

"My name is Kasamae" Heero nodded,and i let go of my fist."But Neko is just fine."

that stupid girly smile again.and the two were off to the living room.Trowa and i stood,calculating,as i heard their voices ring down the hall.

I sat boredly at the computer,trying to act as if i wasn't paying attention-but ohhhh how i was.

Apparently Kasamae wasn't like all the other catgirls roaming this sector.She was originally a human experiment,injected with feline DNA from a menicial scientist,whose name she never mentioned.He had created a device that would change her from a "humanoid" form,to a regualr house cat type,which is when we first met her.Over the 5 day mission was when she left back home,to be changed back.I could feel Heero's guilt as if it were right on my back-he didnt want to go on that mission.But the past couldnt be changed.

She didn't really mention anything about her past,family,or friends.-Not like i really cared.She was a stray to me,an thats what her story portrayed also.

A stray.

Which brought me to become quite irritated when she ended up staying with us for almost a month.

Strays arent supposed to stay in one place.

They are meant to roam.
