Morg: Heyo! This title was given by Ensign Meyumi. I rather liked it and this is what I came up with for it!
~Eluding the Chase~
Mating season was the worst according to Hinamori Amu. Firstly, her new owners thought that being her age meant that she should find a mate to settle down with and have some kittens with, but Amu just didn't want that. Being a hybrid wasn't easy. Being a hybrid cat with special features was even more difficult. Especially during mating season.
Amu couldn't even leave the house without some dirty stray trying to jump her. She firmly locked herself in her room and declared to her owners that she wouldn't be leaving until the other hybrids got their shit together.
It wasn't necessary to say that her owners hadn't been overly happy to hear that.
Amu was standing firm in her decision. She lay on her bed and flicked through a magazine while the world went mating crazy outside her door. There was no way that she was about to trust anyone. Not even her best male friends had been able to keep their sticky paws to themselves. Amu gave them scratches for even trying to touch her.
Humming to herself while kicking her feet up into the air, Amu didn't realize at first that she was being watched. It wasn't until there was a tap on her door that she became aware that she wasn't alone.
Turning, Amu let out a surprised shout at finding a male cat with his head pressed against the glass of her balcony doors. "Go away!"
The male didn't move. Instead, he began speaking, though it was very difficult for Amu to hear what he was saying.
Against her own better judgement, she moved closer to her doors. "What?"
The words were still muffled.
Growling in annoyance, Amu yanked the door open only a little. "What do you want?"
"Can I hide in here until they stop chasing me?"
Rather confused, Amu looked out past the male and saw no one else. "Who is chasing you?"
Sighing, the male cat gave a shrug before looking behind himself. "Some girl cats that really want to have my kittens or something."
Amu grimaced at that before eyeing the male cat. She'd promised to have no contact with any males, but the one before her didn't look sex crazed. He looked bored. "What's your name?"
"Ikuto."
"Well, Ikuto. If you try anything, I will scratch you up and then throw you out to all those other girls."
Nodding his head, Ikuto looked over his shoulder once again. "Honestly, I just need to hide for like ten minutes. Then I'll go home."
Sighing, Amu opened the door further before stepping back. "Fine. Come in."
Sauntering into the room, Ikuto didn't hesitate to drop onto the bed and sprawl out. He was completely uninterested in anything except staring at the ceiling and hiding for a while.
Amu, on the other hand, was interested in the cat that happened to think he could just do whatever he wanted inside of her room. "Why are you running from those girls? I thought every male wanted to knock up some girl during mating season."
Flicking his ear towards the girl still on the other side of the room, Ikuto let out another sigh before bringing his hands up to prop up his head. "Not interested in easy girls. I like the ones that elude the chase for a while. They're the better mates anyways."
Scoffing, Amu crossed her arms over her chest while flicking her tail behind her. "And how many mates have you had?"
Ikuto smirked again before lifting his head to look at the other hybrid. "None."
Surprised at that, Amu dropped her arms before taking a small step closer. "Why not? You're clearly old enough to have been through a couple of mating seasons."
Shrugging this time, Ikuto settled back again to just stare up at the ceiling. "I haven't found anyone that matches me yet. I won't mate with someone I don't match."
Amu knew the feeling. Some of her friends that were males had special qualities like she did. Her pink hair was rare. So was Nagihiko's purple hair and Tadase's pink eyes, but neither of them matched her. So Amu wasn't going to mate with them. "That's a good reason not to mate."
Ikuto hummed before letting out a sigh. "And what about you, strawberry? Why haven't you found a mate yet in this mating season?"
Grimacing, Amu turned away from the male to look at something else for a few moments. She couldn't deny that he smelled good to her, though she definitely wasn't going to tell him that. "Because I don't want to mate. I don't want to have some guy all over me just because it is mating season and they want to fuck. I want a mate for life. Someone I can trust for forever and know they'll be there for me."
For a moment, Ikuto just listened. Then he sat up and quickly moved to press his nose against Amu's neck. "What's your name, strawberry?"
Amu froze. She should have pushed him away and hissed at him for getting so close, but the feel of his nose skimming along her neck and up to her ear had her wanting to tilt her head back and let him sniff her more. "Amu."
Smirking now, Ikuto took a small step back. "Well, Amu, I'll be pretty disappointed if you find a different mate before I can convince you to be mine."
Becoming aware of herself now that Ikuto wasn't so close, Amu let a hiss escape her lips before darting back further. "I think your time is up, Ikuto. Get out."
Without letting his smirk slip from his lips, Ikuto moved towards the door. "Don't let any other males into your room, Amu-koi. I'll get jealous."
Growling now, Amu let her claws extend so that she could hold them in a threatening manner. "You won't be coming back into my room either. Get out."
Ikuto did as he was told. He stopped to look back at Amu before jumping from her balcony. She was still in a defensive pose. He knew that if he tried anything right then and there that she would attack him. He'd taken her by surprise when he'd gotten so close earlier.
He knew that she was perfect. She'd fight it at first, but they were a perfect match. Her scent was alluring and he'd noticed that her eyes dilated when she'd smelled him. They would be mates. Ikuto just had to convince her first.
Amu, on the other hand, was trying to decide if she was glad the other hybrid was gone or a bit disappointed that he hadn't tried anything like some of the others. One thing was for sure, Amu knew she'd be seeing him again. Now she just had to decide what she was going to do when that happened.
