Snippet #1863813

Kaze's smile widened a little bit as he heard a familiar footsteps "...good morning to you, too, Chi-chan..." He said without turning his head, too busy preparing breakfast to take notice what Chi was holding in her hand. He vaguely heard that she was asking to keep something inside the house but once again, cooking distracted him from hearing anything more than that. He watched the pan, carefully kept the bacon from burning. He nodded his head in approval and put them on a plate for Chi. He turned his head and sat cheerfully "okay, here you go, Chi..." He barely caught sight of a black kitty as Devan bolted out of the room, quickly followed by Mimi. Confused by the whole thing, Kaze looked around, trying to find the cause of it. As he looked down and spotted a fuzzy ball of fur in Chi's hand, he frowned and shook his head, clearly disapproved. "...sorry, Chi-chan...you can't keep it...you know how Devan-kun will react with the thing...maybe it's best if you just send it to a vet and tell them to help you find a family for it..."

He put the plate in front of her and pat her head, trying his best to ignore the puppy-look on her face. Gosh, she was getting better at it. He winced when the furball jumped out and ran away to who-know-where. He just hoped it wouldn't be stupid enough to go to Devan's room. He would surely butcher the poor thing.

"Morning, Devan, Chi, Kaze,"

Kaze looked up and sighed in relief as he found a perfect distraction. "Hello, Sebi-kun...what do you want for breakfast?" he asked in a kind voice and chuckled as Sebi's dog - Jiji began to attack him with hugs and kisses. He was quite fond of the pup, too considered that it had helped them a lot with some missions...plus, it was kinda cute.

"We want pancakes!"

Sebi said finally and Kaze nodded his head "alright...coming right up!" He flipped the pancakes and sniffed. Well, they were coming up quite nicely. Without turning to face Sebi, Kaze spoke "...if you want to go then...sure you can...though you might want to say something to Devan-kun first...seems like he wants to go on this mission..." He put a plate in front of Sebi and explained "your pancakes, Sebi-kun..."

"I was planning on heading out to the park today to enjoy some fresh air and perhaps pick pocketing some money. The new 2d fighting game, Cloud Nine, is coming out. I want to get some money for it and grab it tonight on Midnight when it releases, so I need some time to waste. Maybe we should all head out to the park to relax...? The ice cream man will be there I think."

Chi spoke up and Kaze turned his head to face her "...wait a minute, Chi-chan...let me check something..." He took out a notebook from his pocket and flipped some pages before musing, mostly to himself "...I remember I have a mission today or something...hmm...where is it? ah-ha...I knew it!..." He closed the notebook and nodded "alright...we're free until 7:00pm...I have a mission tonight...negotiation...and...err...Abel-kun has to disguise as a guard for some filthy rich man...so if you and the others want to, we can definitely visit the park...until 7:00pm..." He ran a hand through his hair and asked again as he mentally counted the people in the kitchen "speaking of Abel-kun, where is he anyway? He didn't sneak out last night, did he?"

"Oi, you guys know there's a cat in the loo?"

A loud voice asked and Kaze looked up from the stove to see Abel walking to the group and sat down "speaking of the devils..." Kaze grumbled but greeted him nonetheless "Good morning, Abel-kun...had fun sneaking out last night?" He scowled gently and spoke to Chi "and Chi...please come and rescue the cat before it gets killed by Devan-kun...I don't want to clean a corpse this early in the morning..." Putting a plate of pancakes in front of Abel as the boy whined about food, Kaze continued "you should have at least told me you wanted to go out..." Finished making breakfasts for his family, Kaze sat down on a nearby chair and wiped off a sweat that was rolling from his eyebrows. He took off the white apron and put it on the counter. Finally decided to eat something as well, Kaze poured himself a cup of coffee and some toasts. Taking a bite, Kaze chewed carefully and swallowed. Looking at his wrist watch, Kaze mused "...why haven't Mimi-chan and Devan-kun come down yet?...Sorry guys, I have to go and check them...come back right away..."

As he walked to Devan's room, he met with a sight. Devan seemed to fall into his shocked state...again. Kaze sighed. Well, this time it was definitely Chi's fault. She should have known better than to take a cat into the house. He walked to the boy and embraced him, ignored the sharp knife as it cut his skin and made him bleed. He mouthed to Mimi "...Go...I'll take care of him..."

He turned and faced Devan with a gentle expression. He patted the frightened boy's back and circled it "...it's alright, Devan-kun...the cat won't harm you anymore...I'll make sure of it...shh...don't be frighten, okay? I'm here for you..." He saw the boy's tight grip on his knife and sighed heavily. Well, if he gripped it this tight, Kaze wouldn't be able to pull it out. Might as well calm the boy down before taking it away. He whispered gently again "...shh...I'm here for you, Devan-kun...". It was a good thing that he could calm his family down...otherwise, it might turn out to be a real disaster. Holding Devan's head closed, Kaze began to hum his favourite song.
