Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mitsu tried to think, how had she gotten to the mini-pet store before? It had certainly been after quite a few twists and turns and bad directions. The lupine really should have remembered land marks. That was the only way she managed to get to her dorm room every night.

"I don't think its far." What had that old mummy man told her? Passed the Lane of Despair and across from cafe that sold jellied brains? Or was it the other way around....huff puff.

After a moment of hesitation Mitsu turned left down another street. "I..I seem to remember there being a body parts place not far from it." Which looked a lot like a auto shop but in fact had body parts for the undead within.

The longer they walked the more lost Mitsu felt. Obviously she didn't know this area any better than Shun did. When he asked if she was sure they were going in the right direction she paused, ears twitching a bit as she looked around before they drooped to the side of her head. "N..no." Nothing looked familiar at all. "I..I'm sorry...I thought I did." She should have known better though, her sense of direction was severely handicapped.

Looking around to see what they were by Mitsu sheepishly walked into a clothing store to ask where the mini-pet store was. The lady at the counter seemed to have an air of indifference about the wolf girl's presence, but that also seemed to be a look she maintained throughout the day. With a huff it looked like the lady was pointing back the way they came giving a sort of instruction that Mitsu wasn't very pleased with.

When the lupine came back out of the shop her ears were as low on the sides of her head as they could be. "W..we turned the wrong way....Its back that way....quite a ways." Mitsu pointed in the direction they had just come from knowing they had only made the trip longer by coming this direction. Now Shun was sure to be frustrated with her.

If Mitsu's ears could have dropped any lower they would have at the sound of Shun's voice. He sounded mad. What should she do? Should she apologize again?

About to open her mouth, the apology on the tip of her tongue, Mitsu decided against it following behind the reaper in silence instead. She was slowly starting to realize it was probably annoying to hear the same words over and over again, but she really meant them.

Doing a better job at noting landmarks this time, the two of them finally found where they had turned off and kept going. A little further down and Mitsu spotted the body spot she had seen. "There's the body shop..." She mumbled pointing it out. At least she had been right about that because not much further down was the mini-pet store.

Mitsu looked up at the sign as they approached, if the assortment of mini-pets on the sign wasn't a give away the name Mini-Mart was definitely a clue in. At least they found it without another detour.

Pushing the door open Mitsu stepped inside only slightly familiar with the lay out. It took her a moment to figure out where the different FEAR candies were and once they she started to search for something Milo would eat.

Milo had gotten rather excited once they had entered the mini-pet shop, ears perked and tail wagging. He knew this place was associated with food. They gave treats away at the check out counter which was where he was staring intently.

"What about this one, Milo?" Mitsu asked picking up one of the FEAR candy bags. The little boafox seemed to shake its head. That wasn't the one he wanted. "O..okay, what about this?" Mitsu put that one down and picked up another. Instantly Milo threw his nose in the air as if in disgust. Why would she think he would eat that?

Looking over to Shun as he allowed Bent to choose Mitsu decided to go the same route and pulled Milo from her shoulder and held the little boafox out in front of the assortment of packages. Immediately Milo went to work sniffing every package intently, his head giving a shake if he think it was the right one. Finally he settled on one that made his ears perk and his tail begin to sway. Ooh! Oh this one smelled good!

"T..this one?" Milo sure knew how to pick'em. It would figure the little boafox would pick something expensive. With a sigh Mitsu placed the little fox on her shoulder and grabbed the bag. At least he probably wouldn't eat much.

Mitsu nodded a little. "I guess so." At least Milo had picked it out so he would eat it and it wouldn't just sit around. Going to the check out counter Mitsu quickly paid before she could regret it, putting down the few silver she had left in her wallet. Getting to the end of the week was going to be fun for sure.

Once her purchase was all settled she stood to the side and waited for Shun.

Mitsu shook her head in reply. There wasn't anything else that she needed, not that she had the silver to buy anything. "N.no, I guess we can head back." Pulling out her new phone again as they started to walk, she marveled over the different options. There was a lot this little device could do.

As they continued down the street though a small distressed noise caught her attention. The noise was faint but her ears seemed to pick it up and she turned her head trying to determine the source. "W...what is that?"

Milo seemed to hear it too, his ears twitching at the top of his head. The boafox began to sniff at the air curiously though he didn't seem to be able to locate the noise either.

Ears tilting this way and that Mitsu deterred from their current path following the noise. It lead her into a nearby alley where some trashcans were sitting out. The noise seemed to be coming from there but what could it be? Curiously Mitsu walked over seeing something wiggle under some papers.

"W..what is it?" Mitsu asked curiously as she moved closer to watch Shun unveil the creature. It sounded small.

When the papers were finally removed it revealed something Mitsu wasn't all that excited to see. Instantly she let out a small squeak, jumping back and behind Shun for protection. Apparently her fear of cats had grown since the open house.

Beneath the papers laid a tiny green acrobat kitten, completely tangled in a mass of wire and string. It was making the distressed noise because it had managed to get caught and couldn't get free. No doubt it had been looting the trashcans for something to eat.
