'Meow!' The feline glided across the room and into your arms, nuzzling its head into your hands. Your expression immediately softens as you giggled, picking up the cat and placing it on your lap, stroking the head.

"What a cute little cat!" You cooed, scratching gently under the chin. The cat meowed again and closed its eyes, enjoying your touch.

You were in the animal rescue shelter, taking care of a couple of cats that had been rescued from a couple of dangerous situations. You loved cats, so it was your dream job to be there.

The door slowly creaked open, revealing a familiar face that you were always happy to see.

Your expression lit up, "Soi Fon!" You grinned happily.

The cat on your lap opened its eyes and stared at the woman that had just entered, with its yellow slit eyes. Soi Fon nodded towards you, before meeting the eyes of the cat and staring it down.

It was silent for a moment as the cat and Soi Fon were in a staring showdown. The cat then jumped out of your arms and ran to Soi Fon, nuzzling its face on her leg.

You had a look of surprise on your face, before you started to laugh. Soi Fon stared at you, before looking down at the cat and picking it up, stroking its soft fur.

"I haven't seen this one around." The Shinigami sat down beside you. "Have you named her?"

"Hm...How about Soi Fon junior?" You joked, gently poking the cat's nose.

It purred gently, shaking its head before sitting down. Soi Fon smiled. You could see that she really liked cats, and being around her at other times, you couldn't help but notice that she had a different demeanour when it came to the felines.

A soft meow caught your attention as the robe your friend was wearing had started to move, before a small head popped out, meowing loudly.

Soi Fon was a little startled as she caught the small kitten that had tried to escape from her, catching the little thing in her hands.

"O-Oi!" She placed the small kitty on her lap.

"A kitty?" A smile was plastered on your face as you stared at the small animal and its huge blue slit eyes. "Such a cutie-pie, aren't you?" You gushed, ruffling up the fur on top of its head. You look up at Soi Fon, grinning, "Where did you find this little one?"

"I found him wandering outside..." Soi Fon looked away, embarrassed, "B-But i-it's not like I l-like cats or anything! H-He had no home so...y-yeah." She stammered.

You looked at her, a little stunned, but smiled as you knew what she meant. She was such a nice person underneath that tough exterior.

"If you need any help, just call me!" You made a phone symbol with your hand. "Have you named him?"

Soi Fon nodded, scratching the belly as he rolled over. "Sky."

"Eh? Sky?"

"The colour of his eyes are like the sky..."

You couldn't help but laugh at your friend's naming sense, finding it cute. Soi Fon apparently took that as an offence and went into the corner to grow mushrooms.
