Hey people!
This is Kirito's longest chapter! Enjoy! ~Scarlett
.:Kirito's POV:.
Before either Scarlett or I could say anything, one of the people from the store butted in and started to yell at Spirit. "Now you listen here, that monster has been killing people around my store, and the DWMA has done nothing about it, so don't start yelling at these kids."
Spirit quickly backed down and apologized before turning to us and saying, "Kirito and Scarlett, please come with me," before he rotated on his heel and walked away.
After saying thank you to the lady who stood up for us, we silently followed Spirit.
"We thank you for taking down the Kishin, but that was not your mission," Lord Death told us in his high-pitched voice.
"Yeah, sorry about that. We just figured that we should take it down while we still knew where it was," I said, hoping that I'd get to keep the soul.
"Thank you for apologizing, but sadly, I cannot not let you keep the soul because you did not follow the rules of the mission," Lord Death stated before reaching into me (A/N: That's creepy!) and taking the red Kishin soul.
"Well that was a useless mission," Scarlett complained while we were walking down the stairs of the DWMA.
"Then what do you want to do?" I asked. "It is your birthday after all."
"Oh my god, how could I completely forget about my birthday?" Scarlett yelled before tripping and falling down the five stairs we had left.
Trying not to fall myself from laughing so hard, I jumped the rest of the way down while Scarlett got up and started to give me a death glare.
"You better hope my present is good or I will get my revenge," she said before walking away.
"Oh, I think you will like it," I whispered to myself before walking after her.
While walking back to the house, we saw Soul walking around with a confused look on his face.
"Hey Soul, is something wrong?" I asked, walking up to him.
"Yea, I can't find Maka, and it worries me because I think I pissed her off," he told me before turning and looking around.
"Well, what did you do?" Scarlett questioned from behind me.
"I might have hid all of her books so she would come out and play basketball with us," he replied before scratching the back of his neck.
"You might want to look behind you then," Scarlett said before pointing at something behind Soul.
Soul turned around seeing Maka and started to run towards her.
Not ten seconds later, we heard a loud thud and someone yelling, "MAKA CHOP!"
Scarlett started laughing and said, "This will happen to you if you ever hide my books to make me go play basketball."
"You know that wouldn't happen because of how much I hate the sport myself," I said before laughing myself. "And trust me, I know better than to steal your books. Follow me, I have something I want to show you," I said, trying to keep the excitement out of my voice, before walking off to the right.
After looking at my phone looking for directions and walking for about twenty minutes, we found ourselves in front of a small yellow house.
"Here we are," I stated before running up and knocking on the door.
A few seconds after I knocked, an older man opened the door and looked at me. "Hello you must be Kirito. I'm Sam," he said while shaking my hand.
"Yes I am," I answered. "Do you still have the one I asked about?"
"Yes I do," he said. "Please come inside. I will go get it for you."
After we were inside, Sam disappeared to a room in the back of the house, reappearing a moment later in the living room with a small black kitten. "Here he is," Sam said before handing me the cat. "He don't have a name yet, so you two can pick one out."
After he said that, the cat decided that my arms were good scratching posts. "OW!" I yelled before dropping the cat. (A/N: Haha!)
After getting out of my grasp, the cat walked up to Scarlett and started rubbing up against her leg.
Chuckling to myself, I said, "I think he likes you, Scarlett. And before I forget, Happy Birthday."
Slowly picking up the kitten so it didn't scratch her, Scarlett said, "Thank you Kirito," and hugged the cat.
Turning to Sam, who had a small smile on his face, I asked, "How much for the kitten?"
"Don't worry about it," he replied. "Just make sure you take good care of it."
"Of course we will," Scarlett immediately said. "On our way back home, we're going to head to the store to get food and litter for him. Right Kirito?"
"Yep," I replied. "Thank you, Sam."
After getting a few helpful hints about how to take care of the tiny furball, we started walking back to the house.
"Hey Scarlett, it's getting dark. Don't you think we should get the stuff for the cat tomorrow?" I asked as we were waiting for a car to pass so we could cross the street.
"I've decided his name is Midnight," she replied, "and it is getting dark. So we might as well get the stuff tomorrow."
After walking into the house and making dinner, we sat on the couch and watched Midnight curl up into a little ball and go to sleep.
"What should we do with him tonight?" I asked, turning towards Scarlett.
"Let's just put him in a box with a blanket and hope he stays there."
I woke up to a loud meowing the next morning. Yawning, I got out of bed and threw on some clothes. The first thing I noticed when I stepped outside my room was a partially torn pillow being shaken by the kitten and fluff all over the place. Without doing anything, I woke Scarlett up and said, "This is your cat. You're going to clean up the messes it makes," before walking back outside to get a trash bag.
Returning into the living room, I saw Scarlett playing with the cat.
"Luckily, we have the day off today. We need to get some stuff for him," I said, starting to pick up the ripped pillow, knowing Scarlett wasn't going to help. (I'm lazy)
"I know," Scarlett sang, tickling the kitten's belly.
After I got the pieces picked up, I walked into the kitten to make some french toast before we left.
"Scarlett, the food's ready," I yelled, hoping she would wash her hands after playing with the cat.
When I turned around, she was already sitting at the table. I sat down, placing one of the plates in front of her and the other on the table in front of me. "Can cats have toast?" she asked before digging into the sticky mess she calls french toast.
"I don't know, but let's not find out in case something bad happens," I replied, rolling my eyes.
We finished the rest of our meal in silence, the only sound being the kitten purring from time to time. After finishing my breakfast, I walked my plate to the sink with Scarlett right behind me.
On our way to the store to get the kitten his things, we saw Soul and Maka walking down the street towards the DWMA.
"Well, it looks like they aren't mad at each other anymore," I said, smiling, before walking into the store.
After returning back to the house and getting the cat's new things into their new homes, we heard the mail falling out of the slot in the door.
Grabbing the mail and returning to the kitchen table, I noticed a letter sitting under the napkin holder. Picking it up, I noticed it was the letter we found from my mom before we left for the mission.
"Crap," I said. "I completely forgot about this." Sighing, I sat down and ripped it open.
After reading the card and taking out the money, Scarlett walked in with the kitten in her arms.
"Well, we now have twenty more dollars to help pay for the cats vaccinations," I said before opening the other letters.
When I was done with the letters, I gave Scarlett a letter that had her name written on the front of it.
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door.
"I'll get it." Scarlett said before jumping up and running to the door.
Okay, slight cliffhanger there. This could be troublesome...
