Chapter 23: "Er… But she's fluffy…"

Kippichin stared intently at the waters surface. I watched. My wings were sore… really sore… really, REALLY sore. I laid on my side, my tail flicking back and forth lazily.

Kippichin's tail shot into the water almost faster then my eyes could keep up. His tail lifted itself from the water and flicked, sending a few droplets of water onto the surface of the small pond, sending ripples throughout the surface.

/There. That should be enough for all of us./

/Thanks…/ I said reluctantly.

"Hiei, I want out."

/No./

"Hiei, if you do not let me out I swear I will… er…."

/Hn. You're pathetic./

"I'll change into my human form!"

I growled. /Fine! Get yourself eaten, I don't care./ I spit Matt out this time.

"Ew! Hiei! Gross! I'm covered in your spit!" I grinned evilly, baring my fangs.

/Hn./

/Is that your friend/ Kippichin asked.

/That's my mother./

/But… she's fluffy./

/Adopted mother./

/Er… But she's fluffy…/

"So?" Matt asked, sounding slightly annoyed. She hated being called fluffy.

/Calm down./

Kippichin stared at Matt for a moment. /She looks so fluffy… I just want to…/ I tensed, ready to fight Kippichin if I had to. /I just want to pet her/ He wrapped his tail around her and started licking her. /She so cute/

I stared as Kippichin licked Matt like a mother cat would a kitten. /What the hell…/

"Ack-! Hiei! Help meeee!" Matt struggled to get away.

I stared for a moment then laid down to go to sleep.
