Arixa and Axel's Alphabet

Chapter 11

K is for Kitten

Arixa sighed as her alarm clock beeped her awake. She glared at the ceiling of her plain white room and smashed her fist into the annoying device beside her bed silencing it. After which she rolled into a sitting position and stood up stretching the sleep out of her slim body.

She shuffled to her closet, her black flannel pyjama pants brushing lightly on the floor and opened her closet to pull out her cloak. Instead a tiny bundle of black fur rolled out of the closet attached to her slipper.

Arixa took several steps backward making sure to get out of the fluff ball's way as it rolled across her room. Once it had ceased moving she bent down and poked it. To her amazement two bright green eyes looked up at her face "mew" the kitten said un-latching it's claws from the slipper.

"Awww" Arixa said in delight as she picked up the kitten "Well aren't you a cutie~" she cooed at the ball of fur. It mewed happily in response as Arixa scratched behind its ears "I think you should meet Axel" She said putting the kitten on her bed as she went to get changed.

Arixa hurriedly pulled on her cloak and black jeans and turned back to her bed to find the kitten was gone "Oh no…" She breathed. The bluenette tore out of the room and down the hall before smashing face first into Axel "Rix! Are you okay?" He asked sounding alarmed "Yeah… stop working out that was like running into a brick wall"

Axel smirked to himself and helped Arixa up "What's the hurry?" he asked. Arixa sighed and leaned in to Axel's face "I found a kitten in my closet, but it ran away… I want you to help me find it" she whispered.

Axel gave her a puzzled look and then his eyes widened "Uhm is it really tiny has black fur and huge green eyes?" He asked. Arixa nodded "Yah how'd you know?" she asked back "It's about to pounce on Larxene's head" Axel answered pointing to the Grey Area.

Arixa gasped, ported into the Grey Area snatched up the kitten and ported back to Axel "Bad kitty, if you pounce on her you will get electrocuted~" she said in a sing song voice. Axel shook his head in bewilderment "You really love this cat huh?" He asked.

Arixa nodded at the red head "Yah… Oh come back to my room and help me name it!" she said. She put the kitten in her left hand and grabbed Axel's free hand with her right, leading him towards her room.

After a few hours of lounging around Arixa finally picked a name for her kitten "her name is Jade!" She said triumphantly. Axel rolled his eyes "Why'd that take so long?" He asked.

Arixa shrugged "I had to make sure it fit her personality… and her eyes are really green so Jade is perfect" she explained. Axel smiled and watched as Jade curled up in Arixa's lap, falling into a deep sleep.

Arixa snuggled up to Axel who put his arms around the bluenette "I imagine this to be what a family feels like" she said sadly. Axel kissed her lightly on the head "Then I'm glad that you chose me to be a part of it"
