Alright here's the possibly shortest chapter with Cait Sith & Red XII. That's all I'm saying! XD

Chapter Four – The Hidden Truth

He kept his grumbling continuous and clear for anyone in hearing distance to understand why he looked so confused and pitiful. His hands were hung loosely as they felt being dragged by the small object as they seemed no interest to their master.

His face was left looking downwards as if in shame of doing something wrong, ignoring his companion in his walk; he acted quite selfishly as if no one honestly cared that he was having a terrible day.

As for his companion, he was quite annoyed at being ignored when he was only trying to help and cheer the person up due to his unhelpful conscience. Shaking his head with disbelief, he stayed his distance from his partner fearing that the person might unleash his anger at him.

The miserable of the two finally stopped in his path of circles in the deserted desert and looked behind finally giving his acquaintance face.

"I can't believe I lost them!" The miserable cried as he placed his hands…No paws at his face with a sigh.

"It wasn't your fault, the wind captured them" the annoyed one commented wisely as he walked over closer to his friend thinking it was safe now.

"How the hell is there suppose to be wind in a desert you dumb mutt!" The person cried before biting his lips and muttering an apology for jumping at him when it wasn't his fault.

Accepting the apology, the 'mutt' chose to walk around as if inspecting the horizon for something to cheer his friend up, finally he gave up and restored on sitting.

Following after the mutt chose sit; he himself launched onto the ground and clasped his hands on his face while he looked at the ground with sadness.

"We'll look for it after the sun stops beaming at us; we need to rest from that terrible goose chase" the first to sit commented as he stared at the cloudless sky avoiding the sun's glare as he remembered being forced to run after the possessions that were now lost.

"It wasn't a gust of wind, I remembered it perfectly, Red XII" the supposedly feline complained as he seemed of course too hopeless to talk to anyone with nicknames and flatly just addressed them by their name.

"I honestly couldn't remember I was too busy keeping my head at the ground to make sure I don't trip on anything from then fast run you forced me to do" Red stated as he was pointing out that he wished to know the story from the eyes of his feline friend.

"I don't know how you survive without the help of anyone" the cat commented forgetting to play out the scene to the said Red.

"Does that mean you'll tell me what happened?" The red creature asked with ears definitely perked up as he for once had interest in what the other creature had to say.

"Very well, listen well; for I'm not repeating myself!" As Cait Sith began his infamous story….

It had only taken a few seconds from both figure's life as the feline waved his arms manically as he played out the scene that Red had chosen not to have taken part in but yearned to hear. Finally finishing, he fell to the ground with a blow and clasped his hands widely across his small chest.

"That sounds absurd, why are you telling me lies?"

"It's true! I swear upon all my nine lives that it was!" Cait Sith cried angrily as he shook his head and looked around.

"But why would the person need them?" Thirteen asked still not believing the whole story as it took a lot of convincing for him.

"That's what I'd like to know, they were so precious to me; they just had to be taken away from me…" He muttered softly as he finally felt the familiar breeze hit his face that soon changed to one shaking as if listening to something told to him, finally his mouth was shaped into an 'o' as Red noticed the little scene and wondered what in the world was going on.

"I'm praying that you'll explain to me why you look so…Convinced?"

"Treasures to others, prizes for me" Cait Sith stated with a smirk as he ran away with the idea in the sentence in his head, "Come on! This plan's going to make me rich!" He cried happily as Red chose to stare at him unusually and shake his head when he noticed the feline trip with excitement.

"He's lost it" he stated to himself as he looked at the sky once more before going over to help pick up his companion in the roller coaster trip that he had been dragged upon.

"I'm alright!" The creature that had fell onto the sand pit said quickly as he jumped up avoiding the wrath of his friend's flame tail. "Hey! Watch where you put that thing! You could have burnt me alive!" He whined angrily as he brushed away the unwanted sand from his black & white fur.

"Yes, you always were" Thirteen muttered sarcastically as he waved his tail in annoyance before looking quite innocent when the cat noticed what he had planned upon doing. "I was actually planning on doing so, and is that a threat I hear from you if I do commit on trying to burn you alive?" He asked narrowing his eyes.

"You monster…And that innocent act was fake all this time! And yes I'm sending out a threat to you if you even throw a spark at me!" The cat comment with a tongue sticking out annoyingly at the flamed tail.

"And what kind of threat would that be? You'll throw screws and batteries at me? I'm sure I would recover from those mere mechanic objects you hold" Red teased before walking past the cat north without stopping to see if he was alright or needed help from the recent fall.

"Why do I stick myself with the strangest people?" The cat thought as he soon noticed his friend walk away and chased after him as they both were heading north wise.
