"I'm going to go food shopping!" I called out to my brother. He was 24 and at the moment, sitting in his study. He made a noise that I took as an ok, and shutting the door behind me, I walked out of our small flat.

Lucky the shopping centre was close to where I lived. I was athletic sure, but I was never great at walking long distances. Or running them. I thought, as I watched the usual marathoners run past.

As I passed the florist, I remembered I needed to drop those photos into the owner. I went inside at handed the photos to the man at the desk. "Here are the photos that you wanted," I said, smiling at him.

"Ah yes, thank you Miss Kitzume, these are great," the man said, and I waved at him as I left the small flower shop.

I entered the shopping centre after dropping off photos to the florist and headed straight for the food market. I walked around pulling items off the shelves and checking a list I had made to see if I had forgotten anything.

I looked at some caramel chocolates on a shelf and quickly added that to the bag. I loved sweet things almost as much as Honey. Almost.

I also got some instant coffee, not just for me but also for my brother. He basically lived on the stuff, as he had to stay up so late for his work.

I bought all the food and walked out on my boring shopping adventures. At the particular Mall I was in, the pet sho happened to be right outside the food markets.

I loved animals, and I had nothing fun to do for the rest of the day, so I decided to stop and have a look at all the interesting animals.

I left my bags of food just inside the door, so I could still see them, then moved further into the store. I looked into a glass tank and watched all the multi-coloured fish swimming around.

I moved to the little dog pen next to the fish tanks and watched 3 little fluffy puppies rolling around. One was black and white, one was brown, and one was fully white.

They looked cute as they tumbled around together. Then I heard a small laugh, which I somehow found familiar. Is that…

I walked around a corner full of pet toys, and found that the laugh came from the person I thought it was. Tamaki was sitting in the kitten pen and 5 little kittens were trying to climb up him.

"Tamaki, what are you doing in a 'commoners' super market?" I asked him, generally confused about the fact that the person I last expected to be here, was here.

"Ah Kitty, hi!" Tamaki said. "Look at these adorable things!" He said gesturing to the cats and ignoring my question. I carefully opened the gate, making sure none of the kittens got out as I stepping inside the pen.

"Seriously Tono, why are you here?" I asked, patting a ginger cat that had come up to me. "This happens to be the same shop I got my dog Antoinette from, and I came back here to get some toys for her," he said. He has a dog?

I nodded and picked up the ginger cat, and it purred at me. "I didn't know you had a dog," I said, intrigued. Tamaki laughed softly again as one white kitten succeeded in climbing up the front of Tamaki's shirt, licking his face.

"Yes, I actually really like animals," He said as he gently unlatched the white cat's claws from his shirt, and brought it down to his lap so he could stroke it.

"But who couldn't love these bundles of fur!" He said petting the white kitten, with shining eyes. I nodded, smiling in agreement as the ginger kitten vaulted out of my lap and started chasing a grey one around, mewling cutely.

"Do you have any pets Kitty?" Tono asked me. "Yeah, I have a black kitten with a white belly and tail tip," I said. "She was a newborn stray whose mother had been run over, so I kept her."

Tamaki - who usually overreacted like this – was brimming with tears at the story. I looked at him blankly; it wasn't like animals weren't abandoned all the time.

"How tragic for the poor cat! What's its name?" He asked. "Naoki, or Nao," I said. "And your pet? Antoinette right?"

Tono nodded. "You know I bought her here when we all went out to look around, and we lost Kyoya, but Haruhi ended up finding him," He said brightly.

… "You lost Kyoya?"

"Yeah," Tamaki said, rubbing his neck, "Long story."

"Well I didn't know you liked animals this much," I said approvingly. I stood up and picked ball on a thick rope off the toy rack. "Here, most dogs would like this," I said, tossing it to Tono.

"You can throw it and play tug-of-war with it," I said. I used to walk dogs when we needed more money. "Thanks!" Tamaki said. "I better get going, see you," I said, picking a soft windup mouse of the rack for Nao.

Tamaki waved goodbye as I picked up my shopping bags and walked out of the Shopping Centre.

Back at home, I unpacked all the food and put it away. I then made some instant coffee and took it to my brother's study (aka his room).

"Here," I said and handed him the coffee mug, and he smiled his thanks to me. I walked into my room, and opened the window to find Nao sitting on the windowsill. It was her favourite spot.

She jumped through the window, and I wound up the mouse I bought for her, and watched her tumble around chasing it. She disappeared under my bed after the mouse, her black fur fading into the shadows.

I know that Tamaki really likes animals, so this chapter was a very fluffy thing to write. I hope you like it though!
