Situation

Chapter 18: No Kill But No Kanda

Lila nods and walks over to a cat tower with an opening at the bottom, reaching a hand in. When she pulls out her hand, she's holding two pineapple-sized kittens, one solid black and the other calico black and orange. I took the black one in my hand, bringing it to my chest to cradle it while looking into its hypnotizing blue eyes. It's rare to ever see a black cat with blue eyes, and I just think it's amazing to see one. Kanda walks up beside me, peering at the kitten and it hisses. I place it back in the box so it won't jump out of my arms, and say, "You weren't kidding that animals hate you."

He doesn't say anything, but looks at the floor. I follow his gaze and see a young cat with three legs hobbling towards Kanda's feet. It was snow white and was missing its left front leg. Its left eye had a long, red scar over it, and I say, "Me."

At the exact same moment Kanda says, "You." I'm not sure who was more shocked as it plopped down on his boot, me or Kanda. Lila said, "We named her Ice."

Kanda kneeled down and held out his hand, waiting to see how Ice would react. She gave his hand a sniff before licking his thumb, and I smile, "Maybe not every animal hates you."

Carefully, my boyfriend picks up the small cat, scratching under her chin as she purrs. Her head was back and she looked at me, her mismatched eyes making me jump slightly. Lila said, "We think she's part albino."

I nod, gazing into Ice's silver and blood red eyes. It was nearly impossible how much the creature looked like me when I didn't have my left arm, and I wasn't sure whether to be scared of it not.

Kanda wasn't worried about at all because he was shaking a small feather toy over Ice's head just high enough that when she reached up with her small paws, she was just a few millimeters off. I never thought I'd see the stoic samurai playing with a cat, especially not in public. He won't even let me call him Kandy outside of our make out sessions in our room.

"It surprises me that she's playing with him. She hisses at everyone and stays away from the other cats," Lila says as she petted the head of Dark Angel, a black she-cat with yellow eyes and white bat-like marking on her flank.

"Really?" I say. This cat just kept getting more like me by the second. I glance down at Ice, who was now crouching in front of Kanda with her flank in the air, tail thrashing as her eyes locked on the feather toy 'crawling' across the floor. The connection between the cat and bluenette was as obvious as her mismatched eyes. Lila replied, "Yeah. Better be careful, the cat's going to take your place, Allen."

I laugh, "I doubt it. Kanda knows which one of us has what he wants."

She raised an eyebrow at me, but said nothing, continuing to go through short petting sessions with the cats. Sitting beside Kanda, I grab a stick with a string and furry ball attached to it, and look into the cat tower box before me, determining that there was a feline inside. I swing the ball in front of the opening until a gray tabby jumped out. I smile, "Hi, Wolfy!"

Wolfy proceeded to try to attack the toy as I moved it, his fluffy tail swishing back and forth. I loved playing with the cats when I come here, but from the look of it, I won't be hanging out with the dogs any today. I didn't mind though since my boyfriend was having a good time. Letting Wolfy grab and chew on the toy, I lean towards Kanda and whisper in his ear, "You're not replacing me with Ice like Lila said, are you?"

He glances away from the critter in his lap, "No. Besides, I'm pretty sure if I tried using her as a substitute you, I'd be put in jail for animal cruelty."

I reply, "Why isn't it rape when you do those things to me?"

"It's not rape if you like it," he seductively whispers, kissing my jaw. I whimper as he pulls away and begins scratching Ice's belly. She purrs, her tongue actually hanging out of her mouth. I grin at how dumb and cute she looked.

Oo_oO_Oo_oO

"So, was it fun?" I ask, hopping on the bed and pulling off my jacket. We had just got back after eating, and I had asked Lenalee a question while Kanda wasn't listening. I was very happy with the answer and since twenty-four didn't happen in the bath, I was going to do something about that. He nods, "Yeah, I had a good time."

He went into the bathroom, shrugging off his jacket as he walked in. Taking advantage of the moment, I pull my iPod out from under my pillow and turn up the volume all the way while playing "Animals" by Nickelback.

My boyfriend didn't need to be asked twice, and after I blink, he was over me. I say, "Lenalee said it would even help the baby, but only as long as you don't nearly kill me."

He smirks and attacks my neck, biting and kissing down until my shirt stopped him. Pulling my shirt over my head he continues down as my iPod blasts, "It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear, but I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears."

I follow the music's lead and Kanda gasps, nearly collapsing on top of me from the shock. Keeping one hand where it was, I move the other to his back and flip us. Somehow, during the transition the bluenette's shirt landed on the floor along with his hair tie, and his hair was fanned out around him. His face was red and his breath was coming in short pants as my hand's grip tightens.

I suck on one of his nipples, and he digs his nails into my back, definitely leaving marks. He groans under me, and I take it as a good sign. I move my hand and begin to fumble with the button of his pants.
