A Long Time Ago, in a World Far, Far Away...

[Star Stealing Kidd]

Once back at the hut, Kazu moved opening a floor board and hide his stuff, he had a lot of little treasure hidden in the floor board for sure. He smiled and looked up at Neko with a nod. " I get it, I have to hide a lot of stuff normally from Dad so he doesn't take it and sell it." He explained and moved folding the cloak up and hiding that under his mattress of his bed so it was close by. He took a small sigh and sat on the edge of his bed and turned his head toward the door.

Screaming and Yelling.

" There at it again." He said with a sigh and fell back on the bed and looked at Neko. " When is your next job?" He asked.  

[Neko_Shinobi]

Neko watched as he packed away his things in their hiding spots, taking note that he'd done this before. Her ears flicked, hearing the fighting out in the shop. "They fight like thay often?" She asked, looking at the door, trying to hear why they were fighting.

She looked back at Kazu as he asked about her next job, shrugging. "Maybe in a few days. Technically its whenever i decide to go pick it up, but i do occasionally get privately contracted, not often though." She explained. "I'll stay for a day or so more before i leave to grab work though, okay?"  

[Star Stealing Kidd]

Kazu really enjoyed her visits, anytime Neko came to visit him he learned something new and got to do something with her as well. But at some point she stopped coming and Kazu hates that, it had been over a year, and he was sitting in his room,, he hated this so much. He had upset Able again and was kicked in his room. Which he didn’t mind, what he minded was all his books where gone. So he was sitting in silence. His wings out and twitching as he leaned on the wall behind, a knife in hand as he cut his arm. Bored and nothing better to do. “ His gotten worse since mother died” he mumbled.

Able had gotten worse, a lot worse. China had died and Sayuri and Kazu where heart broken but Able was rough as well. He was sitting in his shop drinking and screaming and throwing bottles around, a smoke in his mouth as he stood up and stumbled around. He kicked at the kids door. “ She’s dead because of you Kazuhiro!” He yelled drunkly and moved throwing the bottle and glanced toward Sayuris room before falling back on the ground, a bottle in his hand as he half closed his eyes.

'Your not even real'

She shook her head hard, trying to shut up the voice in the back of her mind that played on a loop.

'Your just pretending. Playing house.'

She'd run into Ayame. An encounter that had shaken Neko for two reasons. The first was that she thought she'd know when Ayame was close by, but in reality she had no clue.

'Your emotions, your presence, the things your feeling. None of its real, its all just a fabrication.'

The second was the conversation Ayame had had with her.

'Your nothing more then a doll. A toy. A plaything that I wound up and set loose to watch interact with others. Its been cute, watching you pretend. Watching you think that your a real person.'

"SHUT UP!" She growled loudly, her fist splintering the wood of a nearby tree trunk. She took a few deep breaths, staring at her fist. It was rough, calloused, but it didn't hurt. When was the last time she felt something? Anything? Right now she felt hollow, cold, and empty. It reminded her too much of how it felt before. Before she woke up and got out.

'Your nothing. Nothing but an empty vessel waiting for me to turn you into something real.'

She pulled her hand free and continued walking. She was heading back. Going back to the last place she felt something other than this. It wouldn't take her long to reach the clinic. She knocked on the door, watching it slowly swing open with a low creak. "Able? Chika? Kiddo, Sayuri? Anyone home?"

Kazu shifted sitting in his room, he heard his father having his melt down and sighed a little. He moved tapping his forearm a little and struggled to stand up as he fished around for another needle. Lately he hadn't been doing good, It had been a few months since he last saw Neko after all. Things had really changed, Chika was dead, Able was slightly insane and he had found the wonderful world of drugs.

Thought it didn't help that ever since he saw his mother died he could constally see her spirit and she kept towering over him and asking him what he was doing and everything. He figured it was a water god perk or something. He hated it thought. He groaned hearing the front door open and he walked toward the door of his room and opened it as he stepped over his father who was passed out drunk. He forgot about the needle in his hand and the large cut that was bleeding on his arm. He blinked a bit and forced a smile. " Hey, Sorry you came at a bad time. You okay Neko?" he asked and ran his hand through his hair.

Able shifted on the floor, nursing the bottle beside him. He snarled slightly as he moved hearing the voices and opened his grey eyes that locked onto Neko for a short few seconds and he chucked the bottle toward Kazu who caught it. " go back to your ******** room Kazuhiro, Don't bother Kuroneko." He drunkly said struggling to get up.  

[Neko_Shinobi]

Neko blinked, seeing the state the shop and people inside were in. "Geezus, and i thought i was bad...Kiddo what happened, your bleeding." She moved forward, taking his arm and staring at it, mostly the needle in it. Her skin prickled, goosebumps rising and a shudder running through her as she swallowed bile. "Kazuhiro...." she frowned, taking the needel from his arm and tossing it back toward the door before shadow skinning the cut and needle mark. She half smiled, ruffeling his hair before hugging him. "Explain that to me later. Lets get your dad up. Wheres your mom and sister?" She asked, moving to crouch and grabbing Able's arm. "Come on Doc, on your feet...you need a shower."  

[Star Stealing Kidd]

Kazu struggled at first, more scared of being touched and pulled away or tried too before relaxing in her arm and sniffling a little at the touch. He blinked and pulled away trying to go stone cold again and forced a laugh. " Leave him, his been like this since Mom died. There is no fixing him." He mumbled and light a smoke before sighing and going to help Able and Neko." Fine I'll help him he grumbled."

Able struggled a first and got up with Neko and Kazu and snarled. " ******** uselss, Leave me alone Kazuhiro. She's dead cuz of you. Waste of sperm." He mumbled and pushed Kazu away and wrapped his arm around Neko." Mm....Kuroneko, I've missed you thought. Maybe you can mend my heart instead of a shower?"  

[Neko_Shinobi]

"Dead?! When did...how?!" She stammered, a bit surprised by the info. Suddenly the mess and such made sense. She paused as Able started yelling and sighed, her hand whacking the back of Ables head. "Stop being a d**k and let me get you into the shower, you wreak of booze. Idiot." She looked back up at Kazu, giving a nod. "I got him. Here, take what you need, go get dome food or something. Smells like stuff spoiled awhile ago here." She fished a small bag of coin from her pocket and tossed it to him. It was a decent amount, more than enough for groceries. "I'll get him cleaned up." She nodded in Ables direction and shifted to get him balanced and headed for the bathroom, waving her free hand toward Kazu.

Once in the bathroom, Neko pulled a shadow up as a stool and sat able down on it, staring at him a moment before going to turn the water on in the shower. "You could of called me Able. How long has Chika been gone?"  

[Star Stealing Kidd]

Kazu blinked catching the money and jiggled the the pouch and sighed. “ Yeah sure, I’ll go grab food now. I’ll be back shortly. Sayuri doesn’t live here anymore. It’s just dad and I. “ He explained shortly and turned to leave to go shopping for apparently food.

Able stumbled with Neko and leaned on her, his hand slipping over her chest and chuckled giving her a kiss on the cheek. “ I don’t know, it’s been awhile though. A number of months for sure, she was just dead. “ he giggled slightly thinking about it and touched his mouth before his lip curled. “ having to deal with that damn child though. I didn’t realize how much he aged and his attuide. God, after his sister left he went crazy” he slowly moved removing his jacket and shirt, his body surly toned but stitched together.  

[Neko_Shinobi]

Neko flinched slightly from the touch. Her muscles twitching a bit below her skin as he kissed her and leaned on her. "...Able..." she sighed. She held a hand in the water, checking the temp before looking over her shoulder, staring a bit at Able and turning back forward, avoiding eye contact. He wasn't unattractive, quite the opposite. But wasn't he still grieving? She bit her lip and took a breath, turning around so her back was to the running shower, "Can i trust you to clean yourself up?" She asked, trying to keep her eyes on his, though it was obvious they traced over the stitching once in awhile.  

[Star Stealing Kidd]

The bat shifted slightly working on removing his belt before he glanced up at her and grabbed her wrist pulling her into him and kissing her, one hand on her wrist and the other on her cheek. “ Mmm, no I think I need you to join me in the shower” he said as he kissed her again a few more times and he pulled her close to him, shifting a leg beteeen hers and lightly rubbing it. “ You smell so ******** good. “ he said quietly before moving one hand from her cheek down her body and gripping her hip. “ Don’t make me beg Kitty Kat. Mmm I know you want some. “ he said breathing into her neck and kissing it lightly. “ the boy ain’t here, we have time before he returns. “  

[Neko_Shinobi]

She blinked, being tugged forward and pressed against him, the kiss taking her for surprise. "Ah..Able..." he felt warm against her, and that was better then the cold emptiness from earlier. She bit back a moan as his leg slid between hers and sent another feeling through her. "******** Able..we....shouldn't..." any resisted a moment, her wrist pulling against his grip as she tried to back away.

'Your not even real. Just a toy...'

The thought echoed in her head again and her resistance faded. She was acutely aware of his grip on her hip. "...just...make me feel something. Anything?" She asked quietly, looking up at him.  

[Star Stealing Kidd]

Able smirked and moved gripping her hip again before struggling to slip his pants off and boxers before moving to pull Nekos bottoms off and moved rubbing her, his fingers gentle around her lady parts, his mouth working on kissing her neck and lightly biting it a few times before he move shoving his two fingers into her, his length getting hard from just playing with the shadow cat.

He moved slowly pulling his fingers free from her and moved holding her up, using the wall behind her to keep the shorter female up as he moved positioning his length at her entrance and shoving in and starting to thrust into Neko. He chuckled and moaned a few times. “ Mmm, I’ll make you ******** feel everything. I’ll even fill you ******** full Kitty Kat. “ he moaned out, he kept her pushed back on the wall before he took a step back and slipped on the water. He caught himself, keeping the female on him as he sat down and moved laying down, still thrusting into her as he met her ride him. “ ********!” He moaned out,


Kazu shifted walking down the path with ruck sack over his shoulder, a decent amount of food and a few packs of smokes and some other stuff. “ I tried to stay somewhat cheap so I didn’t spend to much money” he mumbled to himself as he walked and slowed down looking at the spring by the hut and frowned. It looked so dead and gross. “ I wonder if I can fix it...” he mumbled standing there and he light the smoke and stared toward the water. “ can’t believer I said that s**t to Neko.”
