Response to Buried too Deep - Mamoru
---
"I'm not leaving you alone, Keisuke!"
'I can see that, you little idiot!' Keisuke exasperated to himself as he went and bought a pack of cigarettes from an "unofficial vendor".
Mamoru had been following him around the village for the past half hour, trying to get him to talk. And Keisuke was running out of patience. His right eye was twitching. This wasn't even him trying to push Mamoru away, he was just legit annoyed. He wanted to go home, to his own apartment, to his own bed, and clean up all the blood and whatever else was scattered about his place. And he didn't want to be stuck with Mamoru in a small enclosure. He'd definitely have a hard time keeping his cool.
Finally though, a miracle happened. "You know what, fine. I can see this isn't working." Mamoru growled a bit. "But don't think this is over."
Then Keisuke felt Mamoru's chakra leave his presence. Finally alone, he let out a sigh of relief and headed back to his apartment. 'I don't remember that hole being there.' He thought as he walked in through an unhinged door. 'Did I put my fridge here or...?' He sighed. 'This place is a mess... why are there so many containers of bean buns in he- Mamoru...'
His fridge was embedded in the wall near the door, a distinct person sized hole was across from it, a mountain of bean buns were strewn about the place, and his table was turned over. Well. He'd be able to deal with the table easy enough. He kicked it up with his foot and just as it was about to land he heard a distinct, "Mew."
In a flash he threw himself to the floor and under the table before it could make contact. Huddled in his arms was probably the smallest kitten he'd ever seen. Small, the darkest brown, with big yellowish green eyes looking up at him.
"How the hell'd you get in here?" Keisuke asked the little bundle of fur.
"Mew." It responded.
Keisuke didn't speak for a second then said, "God you're cute."
The kitten looked as if it were smiling at Keisuke's words and reached his paws up towards him. Keisuke sighed and pulled the kitten up to his face. It lightly grabbed his nose between his paws and mewed again. With one hand holding the kitten he brought the other one up and pinched its nose. That seemed to please it.
"I'll call you Kaoru." He said calmly and it mewed once more.
Keisuke then put his new pet on his pillow and started to clean up when a knock resounded at the door. 'If that's Mamoru, I swear to God I'm going to punch his lights out.'
Angry and out of patience Keisuke stormed to the door and yanked it open. "What." He barked...
... at a particularly sweet young girl. "Um, sir...? Have you seen my kitten? She's really small and has really dark brown fur and-"
"No." Keisuke said just before slamming the door in her face.
'Well now I've kidnapped a kitten.' He thought with bit of a dry laugh. 'Eh. I don't really care.'
He sat down on the bed and ran his thumb over Kaoru's fur as he pulled out a cigarette and lit it with his ash trick. "It's gonna be a long few couple of days."
