Summer was coming to a close and school was about to start again. Kuwabara was unhappy about this, as it meant that Ryuko would be stuck in the house by himself for hours a day while Mr. Kuwabara and Shizuru worked and Kuwabara went to his classes.
"What if he thinks I abandoned him?" Kuwabara worried.
"He won't think that," Mr. Kuwabara said. "Cats are very independent creatures. He'll be fine on his own. Besides, with you coming home every day, he'll learn soon enough that you'll be back." Mr. Kuwabara chuckled. "Trust me, Kazuma, you're more anxious about the separation than Ryuko will ever be."
Kuwabara wasn't quite convinced, but since not going to school wasn't really an option, he quit complaining.
