Gear was startled by the sudden movement, but couldn't help but smile. "She's so cute!" he exclaimed, scratching the small demon behind the ear. Still, somewhere in the back of his mind, he though, "I hope Backpack doesn't get jealous."
Hotstreak couldn't help but notice that Gear's last statement was more than a little bit feminine. He also couldn't help tease a little. "Hey, isn't a cat, like, the stereotypical pet for a gay guy?"
"Wh-what!?"
"'Course, I guess then a demon cat would be a pet for a bad a** gay guy," he added, seeming to not be implying that Gear was gay. "Like, can you imagine anyone wanting to make fun of any homos when their pets could rip them to shreds? I think not."

Kirara, when hearing Hotstreak's offensive comments about the spandex-clad blond, she stepped out from his lap, growling lightly as her fur began to stand on end.
Hitomi, knowing what was about to happen, went over to Gear's side. "We might want to move." She whispered to him before she tugged on his arm, leading him back a tad.
The small Kirara then disappeared into a burst of flames, revealing a now larger, more demon-like Kirara. That beastly-cat roared loudly, baring her large fangs as she glared at Hotstreak with slightly hateful eyes.
"I forgot to mention earlier," Hitomi began as she touched her index fingers together, sweatdropping as she did so. "She can also turn into a larger demon-cat."

"Yeah, knowing that from the beginning would have been nice!" Hotstreak snapped. "Y'know, this really goes along with what I was just saying... The part about the pets ripping people to shreds, at least," he mused. He could feel he didn't have his flame completely back, just yet, so instead of fighting, he tried a different tactic. "I didn't really mean anything by the gay joke, y'know. Or the pet part, if you think I meant you were just a dumb animal, or something."
"She's, uh... She's not really gonna, like... eat him, or something... Right?" Gear asked, a little afraid that Hotstreak's mouth finally got him into more trouble than he could handle. He really didn't want to watch someone die...

Kirara stopped growling and looked over to Hitomi, who nodded slowly, before she snorted, enveloping in a burst of flames once more. But this time, she appeared in her human form. "I can understand you just fine thank you, Hotstreak was it? So I'm not a dumb animal as you would think." She said with a slight giggle, running a hand through her long, black hair as the ears on the top of her head tweaked just a tad.
"No, she won't." The brown-haired girl told Gear softly. Then when she saw Kirara change, she nodded to her slightly. "See? Like you don't like being called names and such, Hotstreak, Kirara is exactly the same...but she also defends her friends from such acts against them as well..." Hitomi retorted with a giggle, tugging at her skirt as she usually always did.

"I just said I didn't think you were a dumb animal," the redhead replied, quirking an eyebrow. "I mean, not in those exact words, sure, but still." Seriously, what was up with these girls being ready to rip him a new one in one second, then being all giggly and happy in the next!? Maybe he just only ran into the crazy ones...
Gear was also a little put off by the rapid changes in mood, but didn't say anything. How the heck was a guy supposed to keep up with this sort of thing!? It was like some proverbial switch kept being flicked on and off...

Kirara quirked a brow in unison with Hotstreak, smiling lightly the entire time. She then stepped closer to him, so she was almost right in his face, at least a good foot separating them at most, herself looking at him curiously like she were a younger child. "You're funny." She said with a cute giggle as she touched at his face lightly, feeling him over gently. "You remind me a lot of Inuyasha when he was younger actually. Funny but serious, sweet but at the same time hot-headed and argumentative..."
Hitomi blinked at the cat-girl, not really knowing what she was getting at with this strange display of affection towards the red-head. She stopped fiddling with her skirt long enough to quirk a brow before she glanced back at Gear with a questioning look, herself even more confused now than ever.

"What?" Hotstreak asked, unable to help raising a hand to scratch at the back of his head. "How was anything I've done up to this point sweet?" Really, how? As far as he knew, he arrived here in the middle of a fight with Gear, argued a bit, joked a bit, and done just a tad of flirting (being more vulgar than anything). How did any of that equal sweet?
Gear caught Hitomi's look, and shrugged. He'd never heard Hotstreak be described as "sweet," before. "Jerk" was one of the words often used, though. Still, though; Hotstreak? Sweet? The two simple did not equal one another.

Kirara simply laughed at his reaction as she patted his cheek in a friendly manner, letting go of him and stepping back lightly as she did so. "I don't know. I see past outer appearances and masks that people put on to hide from the world," The demon-cat said simply as her tails swayed gently. "I don't know how you might see yourself, but I see you as someone who's sweet, but misunderstood..."
Hitomi, who was shifting her weight from the heels to the balls of her feet, looked over to Hotstreak for a moment, as if analyzing him in tune with Kirara's voice. She then cocked her head to one side before she smiled gently, nodding a tad as well. She would never say it out loud, heck, she wouldn't even whisper it to herself. But she indeed thought he was sweet as well, in some weird way, she liked it as well.

"Right, I think I get ya," Hotstreak began, rolling his eyes. "You think I go out and steal cars and burn buildings 'cause my 'inner child is just screaming for attention,' or some crap, is that it? I don't buy that psycho-babble." Really, though, even if it was just some subconscious cry for attention, it wouldn't land him anywhere but in trouble, anyway. It didn't matter why he did the things he does, the end result would still be the same.
Gear was having a hard time believing the demon. He just couldn't look at the guy who terrorized just about everyone he knew since the second grade (let alone what he's done after getting his powers), and see his actions as some sort of front.

Kirara stared at him for a moment longer before she just began to laugh lightly to herself, her small fangs showing now. "What you need sir...is a girlfriend!" She exclaimed loudly before she got a sheepish look in her eye, glancing back at Hitomi now.
Hitomi, knowing exactly what she was planning, just froze. It was only until she felt the strong grip of the demon-girl upon her slender wrist, did she realize what was happening. "H-Hey?! Let go of me Kirara!" She exclaimed as she felt herself get half-led, half-dragged over to Hotstreak. Before being practically tossed towards him, landing against his chest in an instant, blushing deeply all the while.
"Here you go Hotstreak! A girlfriend!" Kirara beamed proudly as she dusted off her hands before she cocked her head to one side, grinning sheepishly the entire time. "Don't they look cute together Gear?" She asked with a cute snicker.

Hotstreak was not the type to accept anything forced upon him. Despite how good Kirara's intentions may have been, he first shot her a dark glare, then grabbed Hitomi by the upper-arms to push her back about a foot, but in a way where she wouldn't lose her balance. "I'm outta here," he growled, turning and half-walking, half-stomping away. "Don't follow me."
"Okay, that was not a good idea!" Gear pointed out. "Would you like to know what happened with the last girl Hotstreak was interested in? She almost died because of him!" he told them. Why did that even happen? Maybe they just thought he was cute, or something. After enough time, they'd realize how dangerous a guy Hotstreak was, hopefully, and want to do the smart thing and stay away...

Hitomi just blinked, her blush fading slightly, but it wasn't completely gone. What the hell just happened? She thought to herself as she rubbed her arms slightly. It's not like she was hurt by his grip on her or anything, more of a pleasantly surprised of how he didn't hurt her, even if he wasn't trying at the time. She nibbled on her bottom lip gently as she shook a thought out of her head, trying to calm down her rapidly beating heart from all of which happened in such a short period of time. "Baka..." She cursed under her breath not believing how much of an idiot she had been acting like this entire time.
Kirara blinked at Hotstreak, the same way as Hitomi. Not scared, just surprised. But when her ears picked up Gear's next comment, she froze in her place. "Oh no! I'm sorry Gear! I didn't know that!" She exclaimed as tears came to her eyes and she rushed over and hugged him, her ears drooping only slightly. "I was only trying to do good! I was only trying to help make him and Hitomi both happy..."

"What? Hey...! No, don't cry...!" Gear began, first being surprised by the sudden hug, then caught off guard by the tears. "You're not bad! You couldn't have know. Hotstreak's just a bad guy, you gotta be careful, y'know?" He really was trying to comfort her, but wasn't entirely sure what was the best way to do that.

"But he's not bad..." Kirara told him as she moved her head from his dampened costume to gaze up at him through glassy eyes. "I don't know. I've dealt with all sorts of mindless demons and evil overlords for many a century..but he's probably the most hard-headed boy I've ever met!" She exclaimed lightly as she furrowed her brow in a childish manner. "Could you maybe...tell me what happened to his last girlfriend Gear? Unless it's too hard for you of course..."

The teenager nodded, still thinking Hotstreak no good. "Well, she was a metahuman, like us. Her power was kinda like a water element, only it turned her into water, too. She called herself Aqua Maria. I don't know anything about how they met or whatever, only that eventually they decided to rob a CD signing together. Static and I stopped them, but Hotstreak escaped, abandoning her. These scientist had been working on a cure for the gas that gave us these powers, and wanted Maria's permission to test it on her. If it worked, she would be human again. She was still upset about Hotstreak leaving her, and wanted to see her family again, so she agreed easily enough. Hotstreak found out somehow, and actually snuk into the facility where they had her, during the test! Not only that, but he melted a significant power cable, causing a melt down! We thought Maria had died..." He paused for a moment. "Just a few more seconds, and she would have been human... But, she didn't die; just lost the ability to keep her form. She didn't know Hotstreak sabotaged the experiment, and tried to get him to help her get the doctors together to redo it, but it wasn't working. She found out what he did, and totally freaked, obviously. Eventually I figured out what they were doing wrong, and me an' Static were able to stop her from going too out of control and actually hurting anybody. She's perfectly fine, and normal, now."
