"Nyah Kanda! Give him back!" A young boy's voice suddenly woke Lavi up.

'Ugh, what's going on?' Lavi rubbed his eyes and noticed that he was on the couch.

"Morning sleeping beauty." Tyki stated.

"What's going on? Who was that yelling?" Lavi asked.

"I brought you inside since you wouldn't wake up. And that was Allen." Tyki answered.

"Allen? No, it can't be, he's just a cat, now tell me the truth Tyki." Lavi glared at his friend.

"I'm not lying to you." Tyki stated. Just then a boy, around the age of fourteen, came running into the room. He had ebony-colored hair that cascaded down his back and what surprised Lavi the most was the boy's cat ears and swishing tail. "Kanda, what are you doing?" Tyki asked.

"Trashing this stupid toy." The boy hissed. Lavi saw that he had Allen's brand new yellow toy gripped in his hands. "Don't!" Just then another boy ran over, probably ten years old with pure white hair and with cat ears and a matching tail, tackled Kanda to the ground.

"It's going in the trash whether you like it or not moyashi!" Kanda growled.

"It's Allen, and don't throw away Tim, Mr. Lavi got him for me!" The younger boy cried. Lavi was now just plain confused. "Sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but these boys are Allen and Yuu. You can blame Dr. Komui if you want; though I will say I let him do this." Tyki sighed.

"What?" Lavi yelled at Tyki confused.

"Ssh, not so loud." Tyki shook his head.

"Mr. Lavi! Tell Kanda to give me back Timcanpy!" Allen wined. The red-head stared at the two boys for a few moments before he stood up. "Yuu, give Allen back his toy." Lavi crossed his arms over his chest.

"Don't call me by my first name! And there's no way I'm giving the moyashi back this stupid toy!" Kanda hissed.

"Bad boy." Lavi shook his head and walked over to grab Kanda by the collar of his shirt.

"Let me go!" Kanda tried to wriggle free.

"No." Lavi stated firmly and pulled Timcanpy from Kanda's grasp, he then handed the toy to Allen.

"Tim!" Allen happily hugged his toy.

"Okay, now I need to talk with Lavi alone, so you two behave." Tyki told the boys. Allen nodded, and Kanda only flicked his tail. Lavi then walked over to Tyki. "Care to explain yourself?" Lavi asked.

"I will. You see, I thought that if the cats were human, it would keep things entertaining around the house. Plus, the thought of a family seemed like a good idea." Tyki sighed.

"I-I see." Lavi blushed a little bit about the thought of a family.

"Would you like to know more about why Yuu likes being called Kanda, and why he wanted to trash the toy?" Tyki asked. Lavi nodded. "Well, Kanda likes to go by that because his old owners called him Yuu Kanda, and being raised in a Japanese family, being called by his last name is more respectful. As for the toy, he just doesn't like how Allen gives all his attention to it." Tyki explained.

"Okay, that makes sense." Lavi smiled a little.

"Are you done talking?" Allen came over and asked.

"Yes we are." Lavi answered.

"Okay. So you're not mad?" Allen flattened his ears against his head.

"Why would I be mad?" Lavi asked the kitten.

"Because Kanda and I aren't cute little kitties anymore." Allen muttered.

"What are you talking about? You and Kanda are both adorable, and you still look like kitties." Lavi chuckled softly.

"Really?" Allen perked up a bit.

"Of course!" Lavi ruffled Allen's hair.

"I told you so." Kanda muttered from behind Allen.

"Shut it Bakanda!" Allen stuck his tongue out at the other cat.

"What was that moyashi?" Kanda growled.

"Hey, no more fighting!" Lavi glared at Kanda.

"The bunny's right." Tyki spoke up.

"Who are you calling a bunny?" Lavi faced Tyki, a blush slowly creeping across his face.

"I'm calling you a bunny. Now come on, it's dinner time." Tyki chuckled and began to lead Lavi to the kitchen.

"Fine, so what do you boys want?" Lavi asked.

"Soba." Kanda muttered.

"Mitarashi dango!" Allen cheered. Lavi only looked to Tyki. "Don't worry, I got it." Tyki smiled.

"Geez how long was I asleep?" Lavi muttered under his breath.

"The whole car ride, plus another ten minutes here at home." Tyki answered.

"I was being rhetorical" Lavi glared at Tyki.

"I know. Now come help me with dinner." Tyki smiled.

"Fine." Lavi sighed. 'Tonight is going to be one heck of a night.'
