Chapter 3

Kisara layed on the floor on the floor and watched T.V. Renji and ichigo went to the kitchen, ichigo leaned up against the counter and renji walked to the fridge and grabbed two sodas.

"So renji…what are you going to do with her?" asked ichigo as he took the soda from renji.

"I don't know what to do…." Said renji as he sat at the table, ichigo joined him.

"You seem to be attached to her…..and you just found her…." Said ichigo

"Yea I am…dude if I can't explain it…its weird….it just feels right when she's around…like she supposed to be here…yea I know it sounds cheesy…"

"Wow….so let her stay…"

"Well of course I am…I mean she's already been through hell…I'm not sending her back to that…if you could have seen the look in her eyes…dude it kinda pissed me off that someone was treated like that.."

"Dude you're getting attached to your new pet…."

"She is not my pet…"

"That's what nekos are….pets"

"I'm not going to treat her like a pet…."

"Yea…yea…she is cute..."

Renji glared at ichigo, who held up his hands

"Look man I'm just saying that…that if she ends up on the streets there are creeps in the world if you know what I mean…"

"Yea man I get it….so what do I do? I mean I can't force her to stay"

"True…but judging from earlier she doesn't seem like she would leave…"

"I hope your right..."

"Well…dude I need to be going…"

"You sure man?"

"Yea…I don't think that she trust me….plus I have to get back because I promised amaya that we would go to a movie tonight…"

"Fun…have a good time man…"

"Yea she's a lot of fun…I like her"

Renji followed ichigo to the door. Kisara looked over the edge of the couch at ichigo. Ichigo turned and faced her.

"See you later kisara" said ichigo

"Mkay…bye…" said kisara as she waved. He waved back with a smile.

"Renji…just talk to her…you will see I'm probably right…" said ichigo as he walked off. Renji sighed and closed the door.

*that night*

Renji and kisara spent the day watching movies; she fell asleep on the couch. He yawned and decided he was going to bed.

"Hey kitten…" said renji as he lightly shook her. She slightly opened her eyes.

"Yesh?" said kisara as she looked at renji

"I'm going to bed do you want to come with me?"

"Me stay here…"

"Ok kitten…you know where I am if you need me or anything…" said renji as he pulled a blanket over her and walked to his room and got in bed. He yawned and stretched out on his stomach and went to sleep.

*hours later*

Kisara sat up gasping for air as she jolted from her nightmare. She looked around and all she seen was the stove light in the kitchen. She looked down the hall and seen renji's door cracked, she got of the couch and hurried to his room. Tears in her eyes from the nightmare, she eased open door and looked inside. Kisara seen renji lying on his stomach, she hurried and got in the bed, carefully as not to disturb him. She curled up next to his back and pulled the blanket over her. She buried her face in the back of shoulders and started to cry. She grabbed onto him and quietly cried because she didn't want to wake him. A few minutes later renji felt something wet on his side, as he went to open his eyes he heard someone crying. Renji immediately turned to find the source of the noise, when he did he seen kisara bury her face in the pillow. Once he realized its her he fully wakes up, he faces her.

"Hey….hey kitten what's wrong?" said renji as he reached out and touched her shoulder. She picked up her head and looked at renji; she quickly buried her face in his chest and started to cry even more. At first he was shocked then he wrapped his arms around her. He sat up and pulled her into his lap and wrapped his arms around her and petted her head.

"Kitten…calms down…what's wrong?...I'm right here…whatever is wrong…I'll fix…whatever scared you…I'll fight it off…whatever hurt you…I'll destroy it….I promise"

"Please don't….please…"

"Don't what?"

"Don't make me go…maybe he will keep me"

"Who?"

"Renji"

"Who's trying to take you?"

"You are master….but I want to stay with renji."

"Renji wants you to stay too..." said renji as he tightens his grip on her.

"Why do you want to stay with renji?" asked renji

"Because I love renji…" mumbled kisara as she went back to sleep. Renji layed back and pulled kisara close to him and held her in his arms. She layed her arm over renji and snuggled closer as she went back to sleep. He pulls the comforter over them; he felt her tail go over his leg. He smiles and kisses her on the head.

"Renji loves kitten too.." whispered renji as he went to sleep.
