Kurai and Murci sat in the living room, playing chess, on the living room table. He held a small black stuffed cat with golden eyes. It was Murci's turn when there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it." Murci spoke and climbed to his feet. Kurai waited patiently, while looking at the board. He heard the door being unlocked and then Murci greeting someone. "Where's Rai?" He heard the familiar gruff voice of Ichigo's caretaker. "He's in the living room." Murci answered.
Kurai turned around to see Pantera zoom past the living room. She was probably heading toward the office. Soon, orange and blue reached his vision. There was Grimmjow holding onto Ichigo, who was holding a small duffle bag. "Ya got a sleepover buddy."
Kurai's eyes lit up as Grimmjow gently pushed Ichigo into the living room. Ichigo stumbled and glared at Grimmjow, who looked at Murci. "Where's Nik?"
"He's in the office." Murci answered. "Ich hasn't eaten yet." He muttered before walking away. "but, it's kind of late, don't you think?" Murci asked, but the larger man was long gone. Murci sighed and looked back at Ichigo, who was tackled to the ground. Kurai was on top hugging Ichigo. Kurai rubbed his cheek against Ichigo's. Ichigo just rubbed the back of Kurai's head as a greeting. "I'll go find some food for you guys." Murci spoke before leaving out. Kurai let go of Ichigo and sat up smiling. Ichigo smiled back.

Grimjow stopped in front of Nikki's office when he heard voices. "You need to tell him the truth." Nikki spoke. "No." Grimmjow frowned at the shrill voice talking to Nikki. "He may be brash, but he's understanding. If you explained what happened, maybe you'd be-"
"I said no." Grimmjow scowled and backed away from the door. He just can't catch a break, can he? He did an about face and walked away from the door. By the time he got back to the living room, the chess game was cleared and the two neko were sitting at the table, watching a movie. Both seemed to be eating sandwiches. Murci sat on the sofa half asleep.
Grimmjow stood in the doorway, debating on whether he wanted to be there or not. There was a knock on the door, so he decided to answer it. There stood two young men, both red heads. The first one had bright red hair and sea green eyes. He was wearing a white button down with black dress pants. The second one had auburn colored hair, that was tied in a braid, and ended at his feet. He had crimson colored eyes and his bangs stopped at his nose. He wore a burgundy, slim fitted, colored hoodie with the sleeves covering his hand. The hood was pulled over his head. He jeans were blue white washed and he wore white sneakers. He was slightly hidden behind the first ginger. With similar facial structures, he assumed they were brothers. Both were attractive in their own way, but Grimmjow was barely affected by them. "Hello, we're here to see Nikki. May we come in?"
Grimmjow moved out of the way, letting them in. Grimmjow follows the supposed brothers to the living room. Grimmjow plopped down next to Murci, jolting the sleeping raven awake. The two nekos turn to the ginger brothers. "Nice to see you again, Kurai." Angel greeted and Kurai waved enthusiastically. Angel gently pulled the stranger into the living room. "You must be Ichigo." Angel spoke as they stood in front of Ichigo and held out a hand to Ichigo. Ichigo nods warily and shakes the ginger's hand. Angel looks to Grimmjow. "You must be his caretaker." Angel spoke and held out his hand to Grimmjow, who grasps it firmly. "Grimmjow Jaegerjaques." He introduced himself.
"My name is Angel Siege. This is my younger brother, Alec Siege." Angel moves a little to the left, so they could have a better view. Alec waved slightly without looking up. "He's not used to being around people." Angel explained his shy behavior as Alec sat cross legged, a few inches away from the table. He placed his hands in his lap. "Where's Nikki?" Angel asked. Murci was going to open his mouth to speak, but soon, they heard voices coming down the hallway. "Come on, Nik. Why not?" Ichigo's ears perked up at the sound of his brother's voice. "No, Shiro." Nikki spoke. Soon , they both appeared in the living room doorway. Nikki smiled at the group. "Hey, I'm glad everyone is here." Nikki spoke up. Blue eyes lock with golden eyes and everything is quiet. Ichigo frowns at the two, but does nothing. "Shiro, I'd like to introduce you to my friend, Angel." Golden eyes break the staring contest and look to where the blonde's attention was directed to. Golden eyes widened as Angel approached them.
"Pleasure to meet you, Shiro ." Angel held out his hand to the albino, but Shiro just stared at him. Angel eyed him warily. "Are you alright?" Angel asked with worry and Ichigo raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Shiro snapped out of it and waved it off. "Nah, I'm fine." He gripped Angel's hand tightly. "Well, I'm glad you're alright." They let go of each other's hand and Angel directs them to Alec. "This is my brother, Alec."
Alec looked up and waved at them. "Awe, he looks like ya." Shiro teased. "We have similarities, but we're fraternal twins." Angel answered. "I never knew you had a brother, until earlier." Nikki admitted. "He doesn't like me to talk about him much." Angel admitted and Alec looked down at his lap. Kurai crawled over to Alec and sat in front of him. Alec tensed, but didn't move. Kurai reached up and pulled his hood off. Kurai's eyes widened at the twitching tiger ears atop his head.
Ichigo nearly choked on his food at the sight of the ears. "Well, shit. He has ears too." Grimmjow took notice. Everyone, but Shiro, who was too busy admiring Angel's physique to notice, turned their heads to Alec. Alec's skin brightened as Ichigo crawled over and reached for the ears.
Alec pulled away and cover his head with his hood. Kurai and Ichigo frowned at the newly discovered neko's behavior. "This is why I asked to bring him. I didn't mean to say that I haven't seen one in real life. I haven't met anyone else like Alec before. He had an accident a few years ago and he could never cope with being who he was. I was hoping he'd be happier if he met someone else like him." Angel explained while watching his brother shrink away. Ichigo moved closer and hugged Alec tightly. Alec tensed. Kurai crawled behind Alec and hugged him from behind. "That's sweet." Murci spoke tiredly.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. "If you're brother's one, then…" Nikki trailed off. Angel turned to Nikki. "I personally know one of the scientists. I figured that you needed all the help and information you can get."
Nikki's eyes lit up with relief. "Ready to go meet him?" Angel asked and Nikki nodded frantically. Angel turned back to Alec, who seemed to finally relax with the two nekos still hugging him. "I'll stay with them. Tell me about it when you get back." Murci volunteered. "Thank you, Murci. Let's go, Grimmjow, Shiro." Nikki spoke as he followed Angel out. The former friends stiffened at the order. Nikki stopped at the doorway and looked at them. "I'm sure Ichigo wouldn't be happy if you killed each other. Let's go."
Without speaking, they both looked toward the nekos. Ichigo stared daggers at the two, while still holding on to Alec. Grimmjow scratched the back of his head and Shiro rolled his eyes. Both begrudgingly followed Nikki out of the house, being forced to sit in the back seat. Both sitting on opposite ends while looking out the window.

Murci watched the car drive off and he turned back to the nekos. They finally let go of each other and restarted the movie. "Have you eaten, Alec?"
The new neko nods. "You guys want any ice cream?" Kurai jumped up excitedly and ran for the kitchen. "Hey, you can't have the whole gallon in one night. You'll get a tummy ache." Murci ran after the excited young neko.

Rayne stirred in his sleep when he felt something crawl up his leg. He groaned and turned on his side. Whatever it was, continued to crawl through his shorts. He slowly opened his eyes when something warm and furry rubbing against his crotch. "What the-?" He turned on his back tugged his shorts off to see Silv curled into a ball. Silv looked at him with piercing, shiny blue eyes. IT slightly unnerved him, even though they were beautiful. "Silv, what are you doing?" He asked the little fox. The little fox only curled up tighter around his crotch. "Come on, Silv. Don't be weird." Rayne reached for the fox, but it wrapped its tail around Rayne's wrist. "Stop it." He picked the fox off his lap and palced him on the table. Rayne pulled up his shorts and went to his room to go to sleep.
Silv followed him and slid into the room, before he closed the door. Silv watched Rayne plop down onto the bed and immediately went to sleep. Silve jumped onto the bed and watched him sleep.
