Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mitsu peeked around the door and saw someone she really didn't recognize. Maybe she had spotted the zombie a time or two? She really wasn't sure but the custodian seemed rather enthusiastic that the pups could help her locate the Headcrab.

"To-Tobi..." Mitsu called the pup to attention though it took a moment since he was still barking at the top of the bookshelf. "Tobimaru!"

This time the pup turned and looked at Mitsu with perked ears. Getting up off the floor he scampered over looking up at his master as if waiting for a command. Obviously Mitsu had been working with him even in the short time she had owned him.

"Tobi, find the headcrab." Mitsu tried to mimic the creature with her hands so the pup had an idea what she was talking about.

It seemed to take a moment, Tobi's head tilting this way and that before he let out a bark to let her know he was on the mission. Nose to the floor he began to follow a scent all around the room. At first he was headed toward the bed but soon he turned and stopped beside the couch. Flattening himself against the floor he let out a bark at the creature hidden there. He continued to bark until the headcrab finally fled and moved back to its owner.

Ziggy had been too busy to try though she might have pounced and chewed on the headcrab if given the chance. Instead she looked up into Riyo's displeased face, her eyes still as black as night. She wiggled up a bit further, claws finding new purchase on the feline's jacket as she shimmied up. Her face was so close. So close indeed but....look at all this hair!

In an instant a chuck of hair found its way into Ziggy's mouth, the cat chewing away in the meantime until Riyo decided to make her move.

"Ah! Riyo." Mitsu had looked around then to see the feline's situation. "D..Do you need help?"

Tobi barked happily at Moria, sitting so obediently after making his way back to Mitsu's side. For a second he seemed like such a well trained pup...and then the zombie was out of sight. Attention span gone Tobi sniffed the ground for a moment before spotting his nub of a tail. It began to wiggle from his own excitement and with a bark he began to circle trying to catch it. Smart puppy to dumb puppy in less than three seconds.

Mitsu smiled now that the headcrab was back with its owner. She was glad to know he was safely back where he belonged....and not in her room. At least Moria seemed nice. "O-oh, thank you." Mitsu hadn't been expecting anything but held out her hand as Moria passed her the token. With a wink the zombie was gone and Mitsu turned her attention back to Riyo and her current problem.

Shun carefully took one of the tokens, blinking at the object. Well... it might come in handy he supposed. Furrowing his brow, he pocketed it before turning his attention back to the two cats.

"That is an understatement," he said flatly.

He definitely did not enjoy getting claws up in the face. Quite frankly, Riyo was lucky that Ziggy was going for the back instead.

Taka panted before barking at Tobi for a job well done. He soon turned towards the cats though, tilting his head as the small one was attacking the big one... for some reason.

If Riyo had one weakness, it was the ears. Always the ears. Why the ears? Oh Jack not the ears.

As soon as the ghoul saw Ziggy with sharp teeth ready to puncture her fuzzy appendage, the demoness immediately flung her head to the opposite side with as much force as she could muster.

"Oh, you did NOT just go there." That was a low blow for even a feral cat. Like having a street fight and kicking your opponent in the nads. "You wanna go? Because we'll go. I'm not afraid of some prissy little prozac cat jumping all over the place." So much for keeping her cool. Riyo considered herself violated now, and she would not rest until it was settled.

Baka let out another yelp as his brother yet again ran into him and tried to climb over him. What was he, a stool?! This time, he wouldn't let his rage go unnoticed. The puppy barked loudly at Tobi and gave him a warning snap with those sharp little puppy teeth.

The quick head whip sent Ziggy flying but like a true cat and a true acrobat she somersaulted and landed neatly on her feet on the tiny window ledge. All tails were writhing behind her with excitement, black eyes still trained on Riyo not put off in the least by the feline's grumpy complaints.

Instead the acrobat sprang into action leaping about in her usual green zig zagged shaped blur. She landed on the floor quickly bouncing off of Tobi's head sending the pup to the floor before he could retaliate to Baka's snippy bite. The jump sent her to the wall where she bounced off the vertical surface like it was the floor and flew toward Riyo again in an attempt to use the feline like a trampoline.

Mitsu stood rather wide eyed staring at Ziggy in the window. The cat was more riled up than usual. "Ziggy. Zig Zag NO!" but the cat wasn't listening. The cat never listened when there were people in the room. Sigh. Mitsu's best hope would be to catch the feline to make her settle down but even the lycan with her quicker step still had trouble keeping up.

Turning to Shun she saw the reaper was still on guard. Perhaps it had been a bad idea to let the cat out of the closet. "Sorry..." She said softly.

This was interesting now. Shun watched the two cats, curious as to how this was going to go exactly. Shifting his gaze to Mitsu for the moment, he shook his head.

"It's alright." he said quietly.

Riyo felt a twinge of satisfaction as her opponent let out a shriek even if it was just a battle cry. This is why alley cats brawled. The invigoration of claws meeting fur. The painful yet euphoric noises of your cousin's cries. Yes, the ghoul understood full well what it meant to spar for fun, even if it meant to spar with all you had.

As the two collided, the demoness let out a loud yowl of her own, teeth shining in the light of the room. Her fierce red eyes reflected her opponent's cobra stance, and hunched down to a crawl as a counter measure. If Ziggy was taking the high road, Riyo would be taking the low. Her ears folded back against her head as a primal growl rose from her throat. Claws subconsciously observed the floor beneath her, calculating how well it would allow her to slide.

And then she charged, aiming to ram her head into the green feline's exposed stomach.

Ever the brave one, Baka had taken a liking to the underside of the bed. Here, he could watch the carnal scene without having to get in the line of fire. See? He wasn't as stupid as his name suggested.

Riyo let out a screech as the acrobat's claws dug into her back, her body squirming and bucking to try and get the other cat off of her.

But then something happened.

The weight was magically lifted.

Immediately Riyo returned to a defensive stance, looking around all corners to try and protect herself. Only when she looked up did the small black cat relax. Yep. Ziggy seemed to be a very one person cat. Nothing really wrong with that.
