New Day?! Supa Supeshuru!

When Amelda woke up, Yami was gone. He moved over to the other Neko’s side of the bed and inhaled his scent, rubbing himself in it.

I can’t believe you just left…that’s my game. He sat up and looked out of the window.

Looks like noon…

****

Matty unlocked the cage door and Varon leapt out at him, wagging his tail and licking the man’s face muttering “Thank You’s”. If there was anything an Inu hated, it was being locked up.

“Whoa now Varon! Down! Oi said down!”

Varon stepped back, biting the man’s wrist playfully, laughing when he was pushed back.

“Oi know, but you were bein’ arful, yes you were…” He scratched the Inu’s ears. “How about we go upstairs and Oi give you the biggest bone Oi can foind eh?”

“Yea!” the Inu barked, racing up the stairs.

In no time at all, Varon was sitting behind the counter, munching on a bone, stripping off any left over meat. The man ran the meat market smoothly, telling people about Varon as they asked, the Inu perfectly content to be seen not heard.

However, when Amelda waltzed in, Varon leapt over the counter, barking happily. The Neko gave a hiss and jumped behind the counter, the Inu chasing him upstairs. Matty shook his head and gave a woman a pound of beef.

“They do that business awl the toime Ma’am. Best friends Oi assure ya.”

Upstairs, Amelda kept pushing Varon off, the Inu excited to see his friend.

“How have ya been? Where’ve ya been?! Oi been down there bored t’ tears for days Oi’ll tell ya!”

Amelda shrugged. “I was around. I’ll be home for a few days.”

“Ya smell loike cat! Y’ didn’t go wanderin’ afta tail didja?”

The red haired Neko laughed. “Yeah right…”

I was with Yami and he’s the only tail I’ll need…

“What are you gonna do?”

Varon shrugged and hopped on the couch thenwent over to the window, tail wagging. “Oi want to go outsoide! Think he’ll let me?! ‘Aven’t been on a walk in ages!”

“Stupid Mutt…” the Neko muttered, settling on the couch. “No thank you…”

Varon shrugged and raced down stairs again. He was going outside today.

****

Jou lounged around with Shizuka, the Neko kitten watching the tv in the pack leader’s room with interest.

“Isn’t that the man you get some food from Jou?”

The blond opened an eye. It was Sugoroku.

“Yea…why?”

“What’s a trial?”

Jou shrugged. “I dunno, all I know is I’ve been having to go to too many places to get our food. I want that old guy to get his ass home and give me some food.”

“Hm…”

Jou left the room and watched Honda attempt to cuddle Otogi. For days now, the kitten had been agitated and even more so with Honda. The retriever mix watched Otogi hiss and claw at him, getting up to leave the den, Honda’s ears drooping.

“Leave him alone Honda. I mean it.”

“But –”

The Inu gave him a stern look and left to go out as well. Otogi was already gone so Jou decided to go his own way to try and find some food. That’s when he noticed a familiar scent near the den.

He walked for a while until he saw Varon. He ran over to the spike haired brunette and hugged him around the neck, tail wagging, Varon’s doing the same.

“HEY!” he exclaimed.

Varon barked and Jou barked back and they started rough housing in the alley, some people in random buildings yelling out of windows and tossing down water.

Jou growled and ran off, barely missing water from a bucket. Varon followed him and they wound up near one of the parks, jumping through bushes and inspecting trees.

“So, were you locked up the whole time?”

“Yea…it really sucked…” Varon went around the tree and unzipped his pants, taking a leak. Jou followed suit and then they both moved on to another part of the park.

“It’s hot…” Jou muttered, sitting under a shady tree. Varon followed him, sniffing at Jou’s neck after he sat down.

Varon gave a soft growl. “You smell so good…”

“Haven’t had a bath in forever…”

“Smell good…” Varon murmured, nipping the other Inu’s ear.

Jou gave a yelp, pulling back Varon gripped his tail, trying to lift it.

“What, come on.”

“Get off! You’re not in heat! Get off!”

“Who cares!?” Varon looked angry. He shoved Jou off and sat around the other side of the tree. “Stupid Pup…”

“I ain’t a Pup!” Jou grouched, getting up. He was tackled from behind by Varon, alarmed when his tail was swept aside and he was mounted.

“VARON!”

The other Inu snarled in his ear and Jou yelped, pushing him off and running for it. Varon caught him fast and pushed him up against a tree, humping his leg.

“Stop! Fuck! How can you still be in heat!?”

“Oi’m not!” he growled softly. “Oi said you smelled good…you are…”

Jou felt Varon trying to undo his pants and he shoved him away. “No I’m not! I’d know it!”

“Just started…Oi had t’ get t’ya before anyone else…ya smell so good t’me…”

The blonde’s tail began to wag again as Varon neared him. He wanted to bolt again but his instincts were beginning to rear up. They were telling him to just get on his hands and knees and let it happen.

“No!” he said to himself. He started to run off, but Varon tripped him and was on him again, pushing into him, trying to undo his pants.

Jou growled, face beginning to flush. “Stop!”

“You want to!”

“STOP!” he barked, turning and biting Varon viciously on the arm. The Aussi Shepard mix yelped and Jou was surprised at himself.

“Shit shit! I told you to stop! Varon…” He looked at the wound and started to lick at it, Varon sitting there pissed.

“Can’t believe you bit me…”

“Sorry…” Jou muttered, lapping at the bleeding bite marks.

Varon leaned down to sniff at Jou again, reaching for his tail and Jou growled again near the bite mark.

“Stop it…” Varon whispered, Jou beginning to lap the wound again. The Aussie reached down and ran his hand up and down Jou’s tail, the golden appendage beginning to wag.

Jou lapped at the cut, inhaling Varon’s scent, his pupils dilating. He was beginning to feel very hot and took longer licks at the cut, his tail wagging harder despite the fact that Varon’s hand was under it now.

Varon leaned close to his neck and Jou growled softly, exposing his jugular vein, which the other began to lick with long gentle strokes.

Before he knew it, Jou was on his back, his arms pinned, Varon licking at his neck.

“Uhnn…” he moaned, trying to move.

“Don’t move…” Varon growled.

Jou moved anyway, his tail swishing under him. “Get up…”

“I won’t…”

So they just lay there for a while until Jou flinched. He’d dozed off. He sat up, Varon licking and hanging all over him.

“We should find a better spot…If we do it out here, Humans will stare…”

Jou pushed him away, annoyed, eyes hazed with heat intoxication. “Go away…”

“But if I leave, other Inu will –”

“I can take care of myself…” Jou tottered off, Varon at his heels.

****

His eyes opened slowly, annoyed at the patient beeps coming from the left of his. He would have moved to see what they were, but that’s when he noticed the enormous weight on his chest. He looked down and gave a growl, stunned at how weak it sounded.

“Malik…get off…”

The kitten shifted in his sleep and just cuddled closer to him, the tip of the boy’s ear now tickling Marik’s cheek.

He couldn’t move his arms either.

“MALIK!”

The boy sat up sleepily, looking towards the door. “Rishid?”

“No you ass! It’s me!”

Malik looked sleepily at Marik, not making the connection until he realized the Neko’s eyes were open and that he looked pissed.

“You woke up…” his eyes welled up immediately and he hugged Marik fiercely, crying. “I thought you’d never wake up and I’d be all alone!”

Marik sighed and slowly got his arms from under the covers. “God, I’ve only been asleep all night. Come on Kitten…”

Malik sat up and sniffled, letting Marik stroke his wiggling tail. “You’ve been asleep three days! Ishizu said you got hurt and when I came you were sleeping!”

The Neko shook his head and indicated Malik move so he could sit up. He winced as his injuries made themselves known.

That’s right…that asshole Bakura…

He sighed as Malik licked his face and ears, doing his best to groom him. He held the boy close to him and purred softly, Malik running his claws through golden spikes.

//Where’s Ishizu and everyone? //

//Ishizu is home, she slept here too a lot and Rishid and Shadi are taking care of Yugi. A lot of things happened…//

Marik kissed the kitten on the neck. “Let me see…”

“Alright…”

Malik let Marik go through his mind, rifling through memories. The Kitten winced and looked away when Marik lingered on memories of their recent coupling, how violent it was and how scared Malik had been. Marik kissed him, purring deeply.

//I’m so sorry Kitten…//

Malik nodded, kissing back. //I’ll never see him again. I’m so sorry. //

They stayed there together, purring and nuzzling each other, Malik kissing the elder Neko with more and more need.

“Malik no…”

“But I love you. I want to apologize. I won’t fight this time or ever again.”

Marik rubbed the boy’s back. “I was wrong. I was wrong to do what I did.” Lavender met Lavender and Malik’s eyes teared.

“What are you trying to say?”

“That maybe it’s healthier for you to find someone else.”

Malik’s ears drooped and he leaned forward, wanting a kiss. When Marik turned his head, he whined and ran out of the room, crying. Marik got up and hobbled to the bathroom, wondering what was going to happen now.

Sugoroku’s in jail…maybe I should talk to Kaiba…maybe I should apologize to Ishizu…and Yugi…

The Neko went back in the main room, stretching all he could without hurting himself.

I’ll have another nap for now…

****

Yugi’s ears perked up and he raced out of his room, startling Rishid and Shadi who were watching tv. He dashed into the shop front and tackled Yami as he came through the door.

“YAMI!”

“Aibou! Hello!”

He let Yami stand up then hugged him and nuzzled him all over, a symphony of purrs growing louder and louder. Yami sat down on the floor and pulled Yugi into his lap and began to groom him, the kitten submitting to it quietly for once, not bothering to give greeting when Shadi and Rishid came in.

“Yami! Where have you been?”

The older Tri-color didn’t say anything and continued to lick up the bridge of Yugi’s nose, the kittens tail doing crazy loop de loops.

“Yami!” Shadi said again, more firmly.

The Neko narrowed his eyes, giving a soft growl. “I’ll be wherever I want. Thank you for caring for Aibou. You two can leave now.”

“Yami!” Yugi chirped. “I want cereal!”

“We’ll have cereal when we’re done. You haven’t been brushing your hair…”

Yugi made a face. “I don’t want to do that. That’s stupid.”

Yami rubbed under his chin and Yugi squeaked happily, leaning into his arms.

Shadi shook his head and Rishid crossed his arms. “It concerns Sugoroku and many things. Come on now.”

Yami rubbed Yugi’s back and whispered to him softly. The boy hopped up and ran upstairs, leaving Yami alone with the two.

“What do you want?”

Shadi motioned upstairs. “Let’s go into the kitchen –”

“No, we’ll go in the store room since you don’t want Yugi hearing. Putting together a puzzle will only keep him occupied for so long.”

He showed them the way, leaning against some boxes when Shadi began. For some reason he was only mildly interested in whatever they had to say, secretly wanting to get back to Amelda.

****

Jou rolled his eyes as Varon got into yet another fight with a roaming Inu. They were just two blocks from home now and he really didn’t feel like dealing with this again so he left Varon fighting and returned to the den.

Shizuka met him and she waved her hand, making a face. “You smell weird!”

“I know. Sorry, get over it.”

Honda seemed to come out of no where and edged over to where Jou was, reaching for the Retriever Mix’s tail. Jou barked at him viciously and Honda cowered, crossing the room.

“Stupid Pup! You don’t even have a chance with me!” Jou went to his room and slammed the door, plopping down and turning on the tv. He usually knew when he was about to go into heat and would stay at the den, but no, he’d been oblivious to it all in an effort to get away from all the bickering.

Otogi better be finding food while he’s out there sulking…

He watched the tv with mild interest, his tail thumping a bit when he thought about Varon and all that fighting.

Can’t blame him for trying though…it was sort of wrong for me to leave him like that…

Soon enough, Shizuka poked her head in, holding her nose. “There’s someone here to see you.”

“Yeah, okay…”

She disappeared and some one came through the door. Varon’s hair was mussed up and the goggles he wore were cracked on one side. He had a cut on his lip and several more bite wounds.

Jou sat up, tail swishing. “Damn, are you alright?!”

“Yeah, Oi’ll be cool. This your place?”

“Yeah.”

They stared at each other, Jou’s tail going insane the whole time. Honda whimpered in.

“Boss, I’m sorry it’s just that –” Honda stopped when he saw Varon. He started to growl but Varon issued a challenging bark and the Shepard mix easily stepped down, ducking out of the room, his tail between his legs.

Varon went over to the cushions and sat down heavily. “Oi’m toired…”

Jou rummaged on a shelf and got out a beat up first aid kit. He went over to Varon and licked his wounds clean before bandaging him up.

“That guy was tough… ‘E was a Rotty…didn’t know y’ had those runnin’ round the streets…”

“Yeah…usually solo too…” Jou indicated that Varon should take his shirt off and he bandaged the cuts there, leaning over to lap at the blood coming from the vicinity of Varon’s collar.

“He bit yer neck?”

“Yeah…” Varon stared at Jou through hooded eyes, giving a small whine when the boy took off his collar. The blond flinched at the cut he saw there but bandaged it up anyway, glancing into the brunette’s brown eyes every so often.

“Y’ okay?”

“Felt loike Oi fought ev’ry Inu in town…”

Jou felt pride well up in him and blushed a bit, realizing Varon had done it for him.

“Oi should get goin’ back t’ Matty’s…those bastards won’t bother ya…”

“Hn.” Jou let his tail thump and he leaned into to lick at a small cut under Varon’s chin, straddling his lap and smoothing his hands over his shoulders. He felt hands up his shirt and whimpered in pleasure, their tongues meeting hotly.

He groaned as he felt Varon’s hands rubbing his hard crotch, his body pressing closer. He leaned his head back and howled softly, the combination of Varon’s hands and tongue driving him wild.

Varon was whispering something, but it was hard for either of them to talk for kissing. Jou pulled back, panting.

“Wha?”

“Oi said –oi said yer not neutered are ya?”

Jou shook his head and Varon growled happily.

“Why?” the blonde asked breathless.

“Males kin ‘ave Pups, Oi’m knockin’ y’ up and yer comin’ t’ live at Matty’s…”

Jou pushed him away then. “I ain’t havin’ no one’s Pups! I ain’t a Bitch so keep it to yourself!”

“Well wot d’ya want me t’do?”

“Ain’t nothin’ to be done!” Jou growled. “Forget it!”

“But that’s the point!”

“NO!” Jou got up and pointed to the door. “Out!”

Varon got up and went over to him. “Y’may not want Pups…but yer gonna need someone to relive yer needs! You’ll be beggin’ for me in a few days!”

“I have Honda!”

“Don’t work that way!” Varon snapped, immediately softening when he saw Jou’s ears fly back. He kissed under Jou’s chin.

“”m injured…let me stay Babe…”

Jou growled softly and pointed to a cushion across the room. “You can sleep there…and I’m not your ‘Babe’.”

Varon smacked his ass and went to lay down on the cushion. “Sure yer not.”

****

Yami flicked his tail. “So they were going to launch this program if Gozuboro hadn’t been launched out of a window?”

“Yes. They figured people seemed to prefer kittens over adult cats and people bought toy breeds to keep the idea of a puppy around, the Forever Young project would take off. Many of the test subjects had to be destroyed, but Yugi was a wild card that not even Sugoroku knew about until he discovered Yugi all those years ago. Testing on his blood and examination of his personality and genetics have confirmed it.”

Yami looked at Shadi, then Rishid. “So, what does this mean? He’ll never grow up? Is he going to be twenty-seven and still be asking for cereal three times a day?”

Rishid shook his head. “No, Yugi is capable of learning. He’s quite the student at school, but there are just inherent flaws in his personality and genetics, add to that the way he was raised, these things just don’t allow him to move at a pace that most of us would find…acceptable.”

The Neko looked at them and shook his head. “Bottom line…his development is severely out of step and I’m looking at taking care of a kitten for the rest of his life and mine?”

Shadi shook his head. “You aren’t listening. Yugi can learn. He just has to be taught. He’s been pampered all his life and –”

The phone rang and before Yami could get to it downstairs, he heard a shriek of happiness from upstairs.

“GRANDPA!” he heard Yugi squeak.

Yami sighed. “Is that what you’re talking about?”

“Yes. Now, we can get you and Yugi independent licenses so you can continue to live on your own…I have no idea what you’re going to do about the shop though –”

“We’re going to run it.” Yami leaned against some boxes. “Nekos are allowed to have businesses and Yugi eats way too much for me to take maybe a month off to find a job. People don’t hire Neko’s as quick as you think.”

Rishid stepped in. “If you worked for the FFFC you would get a good salary and a place to stay.”

The Neko growled. “You’re joking right? You must be out of your god damn minds!” He was about to go one when Shadi’s phone rang. The man picked up.

“Yes…really?” He looked at Rishid then sighed. “Really? Where can he go with a cast on his leg…alright. Okay…bye.”

Rishid looked at Shadi and the man spoke up. “Marik woke up and apparently is no longer in his room! Ishizu’s looking for him.” He looked at Yami. “He’s all yours! Call if you need any help.”

Yami watched them go and went up stairs. Yugi was prancing around with the phone in his hand, talking to Sugoroku. He smiled and went to the kitchen.

He may be a rat bastard, but Yugi loves him so much… He got out some bowls and the cereal, rummaging through the fridge, preparing to cook more.

I’ll have to see if we have any money…we need some more food.

****

Malik looked down at the ground and kicked his feet. He really liked being in trees like this, out of view, but being able to see everything. He felt an arm around him and looked up.

“It’ll be alright.”

“I’m still upset…”

Otogi kissed Malik’s forehead. “Well, I still like you.”

“I know you do…you wouldn’t have your hands on my leg if you didn’t…”

The green eyed Neko smiled at him and Malik leaned into his kiss.

Maybe Marik was right.

He purred and snuggled into the other Neko’s arms, feeling warm.
