"A makeshift is all that can be expected from a man of the same category. Honestly, leaving Aya like like, you owe to her and I don't think you can repay her in your life but you owe her a lot for putting up with you, at least until she decides to keep you around." Catzuki growled and hissed but kept her tone as quiet as possible. No one was good enough for Aya, her first friends and for a long time her only friend, and she certainly didn't like the man who 'stole' her.
xoxox xox xoxox
Silvia relaxed and got comfortable. Now that the cat girl that scared her was gone, she felt a lot safer. Too bad she wasn't allowed to hunt that mouse, but she knew went it was best to give up on her prey.
Gojaru nodded at everything Yuki said, then grinned. "I guess that leaves us, everyone else is occupied and Seth likes to hide in the depths of the ship these days, so I'll keep you company."

Chaos looked as though someone had slapped him. And it took everything he had not to throw her out of the room. "Say what you will." he finally said. He didn't have to like her, he didn't have to get along with her and he was only putting up with her for Aya's sake.
Memories turned in his head. When he and Gojaru found and injured jinx. He remembered it nearly cost his own head to save the girl but he did it, and it was one of the few things he did that ever really amounted to anything, or rather one of the things he did that didn't put a bounty on his head.
"At least I'm something." Chaos mumbled to himself as he took a deep breath. "Remember, Aya cherishes this woman. And for that you will learn to live with it. For Aya, you will. For Aya."
Chaos saw the explosion he was sure no one could have survived that, but being a pirate he had to check it out. There he found and young woman, a black neko.
"You're here to kill me aren't you?" Aya inquired venomously. She hissed and tried to lift up a small metallic object.
Chaos looked her over, eyebrow raised. "That's not the intention, no." He busied himself with checking the computer there to see if it was working.
"Then why are you here?" she hissed.
"Working." He called over his shoulder.
There was no response for severeal minutes. "Why aren't you afraid of me?"
"Hmm?" He turned to look at her again. "Because you're injured, dying probably. You don't pose a threat to me. Now, stop moving otherwise you'll make your injuries worse. I've got priorities but if you can wait a few, I'll tend to you as best as I can."
"I'm a jinx, you'll die if you help me."
"Jinx?...oh right, Black neko. Yeah, heard that. But I couldn't live with myself if I let a cute girl die." Chaos answered and he knelt down and opened a first aid kit he had with him. "You alone?"
"Yes.No! Catzu!! Oh no, what if she?" Aya's eyes looked frantic as she tried to stand only to fall into Chaos's lap.
"We haven't found anyone but there was a ship that left moments before the explosion. I'd think it was probably your friend." Chaos answered. A light beeping came from his communicator. "Ah, no time. I'll explain later."
He picked her up and rushed out of hte area, just barely making it to the meeting point to get out of there. From the safety of Star he watched a second explosion and felt the neko in his arms tremble.
"You wouldn't have cut it so close if you had left me to die." Aya scolded.
"I already told you, I couldn't live with myself if that happened."
Now there was far more happening and Catzuki, whom he quickly figured out was Catzu, would blame him for everything. Despite the truth and he knew she would never hear it from him. Aya had been cold and stubborn at first, terrified that he would betray her. That never came. It never would.
It was too bad his life would be troublesome because Catzuki didn't understand.
--------- "I'd like that." Yuki softly replied, "Usually everyone is so busy that I'm left all alone. Even Star-chan gets to busy to talk to me some days."

"I would say it even if you told me not to," her golden glare was still deadly threatening, as if she didn't feel Aya was safe with this man.
Catzuki trusted few, most of which betrayed her before she met her beloved elf. Then she met Hakimo, and beat him up several times before she stopped puzzled as to why he wasn't even angry at her. He was simply too forgiving, too selfless, and she decided he was easy to manipulate, but it slowly changed, then he bake her Haki-love as she called him.
She remembered he used to call her Pretty-Kitty, a black neko, was always ugly because they were jinx. Even if by whichever standard she was beautiful, she was still a black neko, and such creatures were not beautiful, they were bad luck; and she knew many people, with Hikimo's fathe possibly being one of the few exceptions, blamed her for his disappearance. He was always kind, always well liked and everyone gave Catzuki looked as if she killed him.
Catzuki didn't care about those people, but she cared about Hakimo. If not because of being a jinx, then maybe, in a more logical train of thought, this could be revenge for her past hunting bounties and taking mercenary jobs, or just someone trying to prove that black nekos really are bad luck... She couldn't stand the thought of Hakimo getting hurt because of her and she couldn't stand the thought of not being there for Aya all that time thinking she had not survived.
In Aya's case, she had found someone to blame. She blamed Chaos who knew Aya lived and wasn't with her every second. She blamed her for not finding Aya sooner and blamed him for Aya's condition, and anything she could think of blaming him for. She blamed the crew for not having found Hakimo already, even if he was so far away and out of reach. She blamed them all, because if not then she would blame herself.
xoxox xox xoxox
"Aw how could they leave such a pretty girl all alone? I'd love to keep you company," Gojaru's mood was at a definite improvement. Usually there would be an interruption at this point, but at the moment he couldn't think of anything that needed to be done.

Chaos understood why Catzuki was so harsh. It took him a moment to figure it out but the way her words always seemed to be harsh indicated she hated him. She would have no reason to hate him unless she blamed him. That was fine, he could be the scapegoat if it would make her happy. He could do that, because Aya would want her to be happy.
Chaos swallowed his pride. "Is there anything you need Miss Nekish?"
Aya, while asleep could hear almost everything. She knew her love and her friend. She was hoping they would reach an understanding or something. And she refused to open her eyes until she could determine if htey would do that or not.
oxoxo ox oxoxo
"Everyone gets so busy!" Yuki replied in a sad manner. "I mean, its like, I want to help more but I'm no soldier or anything." She didn't mean to be so dramatic but when she stopped and thought about it she hadn't been there as long as some and while she knew of their pirate background she had joined after they had "quit".

"I would like to say divorce papers, but I suppose I'll settle for asking you to try to become worthy of Aya, it's a huge challenge for you but try your hardest, I'll be around to make sure you do. Don't stand around and organize this room. Aya doesn't like messy places, and never ever, get water near me ever again or I will kill you." It was more or less Catzuki's way to draw a line, set some ground rules and attempt to tolerate Chaos to a certain point.
"Oh yeah, and some milk would be nice too, don't try to poison it. I have experience identifying poisoned food." She really couldn't count the times she tried to buy food and it turned out to be poisoned. She had taken to stealing it because people had the time to poison it.
xoxox xox xoxox
"It's okay Yuki-chan!" Gojaru offered her a hug. "I'm right here for you," perfect, it was perfect, no one would interrupt them now... at least that's what Gojaru thought until Silvia started to peck him gently. "Stop that Silvia," he whispered not wanting to ruin the moment, but the eagle wouldn't stop. "Silvia!" The eagle went limp and fell into Gojaru's arms. He stared at his pet. She was weak but alive, she was fine a second ago then suddently she wasn't. "No, don't get sick now, c'mon Silvia please, don't get sick!" Great, not he had a sick pet and his fluffy moment with Yuki was interrupted. He wondered if someone somewhere was enjoying his torture.

Aya's ears perked up at hearing Catzuki mention divorce papers. She wondered how her husband would respond. And much to her surprise it was not like she thought it would be.
"You wouldn't be the first to tell me that, and I doubt you'll be the last." He simply stated as he knelt down to a mini fridge and removed a bottle of milk. He checked to see if it was cold and handed it to Catzuki. "But fine, I suppose even I need to believe I deserve Aya. I don't disagree with anyone when they say she's too good for me." He contemplated about the water. "It was a joke, Miss Nekish! You trapped me in that cockpit. Out of the two of us, you were less likely to get hurt."
-------- "Silvia!" Yuki took Gojaru by the jacket and rushed htem to the sick bay. She lifted Silvia up and started an examination.

"I'm Glad you at least know you're not. I'll remind you since you seem to be missing the obvious, I'm a neko! You should know most nekos don't like water. If you lack such basic knowledge I shouldn't even let you near Aya, clearly you wouldn't take good care of her. Besides I practically lived in cockpits for years before and they're not as bad as you make them sound."
Catzuki shook the milk bottle, oh so tempted to hit Chas on the head with it, but the noise would probably bother Aya and it was a waste of milk. She sniffed the milk and observed it closely. Then took a small zip and tasted it. It was like the milk she used to like long ago, unlike the gourmet milk Hakimo had at his place which she had become used too, but she didn't dislike regular milk. After making sure if was safe, she drank it in one gulp and handed the empty bottle back to Chaos.
xoxox xox xoxox
Silvia squirmed slightly trying to sit down. She pecked at the surface of the examination table as if disapproving it. Gojaru was trying to think of what could have caused Silvia's illness. His mind flashed back to a time before their current mission started. Back then they stopped at a small planet before heading back to headquarters and Silvia went to play with some other eagles. Did the eagles give her some kind of illness? They were wild eagles but they looked healthy. It never crossed his mind that Silvia might be about to lay an egg. They say pets are like their owners, and even if they didn't see other eagles often, when they did, Silvia was a flirt.

"BUt you don't need blood to live do you?" Chaos inquired as he took the bottle and placed it in a bag to be recycled with a bunch of other stuff. "Not like it matters much. If you want more milk, you can help yourself to the fridge."
Man was he tired of fighting with her. "By the way, not all cats hate water. Miss Nekish, some quite enjoy it. Random fact for you." He busied himself with picking up the room as per instructions because not doing anything would have led him to attempt to kill her.
Aya rolled over and slowly opened her eyes. "Catzu, could you not hate him, for me?" her eyes shined brightly as she looked more like a kitten than a fully grown women. But Chaos did not know she was awake.
=-=-=-=-=-=
Yuki looked over her for a good several minutes and didn't really find anything wrong with her. "Um...this is weird. I don't think...." She looked at the reports of what just came up and handed them to Gojaru. "This might make more sense if you read it yourself..."

"I'm a neko not a cat," Catzuki corrected Chaos, just because she decided to be picky with him. "You're not paying attention. Among the things you must improve is your listening skill, I did say most nekos dislike water, not all of them." Catzuki hissed, she didn't like it when other claimed to know more about her than herself, though it wasn't exactly like that but she read deeply into Chaos words in the worse way possible. She would be picky with him. "Of course I need blood, most living creature need blood..." She paused realizing he might not simply mean blood flowing in her veins, then hissed louder than she meant. "Bite Aya and before you even start to satisfy your thirst... I. will. kill. you."
"Aya!" Catzuki turned to look at Aya. "Fine, I'll tolerate him, but he better try his very best to keep you happy..." Even if his best wasn't enough, Catzuki decided not to add that last part. She looked back at Chaos for a moment with a glare then back to Aya with a much more friendly look. "It's been such a long time..."
Cotton finally squeaked softly he had been an spectators for too long somehow knowing he shouldn't make a sound if there were people sleeping. Catzuki held the small mouse and petted him. "This is Cotton," the little white mouse wasn't afraid of felines since he was always with Catzuki and she took good care of him. She held out her hand to Aya, "cute isn't he?" Cotton looked at the new neko curiously. "Hakimo gave him to me." Trust Hakimo to believe in all that's good and actually give a mouse to a feline, but Catzuki actually liked Cotton and spoiled him.
xoxox xox xoxox
Gojaru looked over the report. "I'm not too good with these medical things..." he read over it several times, "...egg?" That one word finally escaped as if he could say nothing more in his surprise. He noticed Silvia looking at him and ran a hand through his feathery red 'hair'. "Oh no," he warned the eagle. "You're not laying an egg on my head, find some other soft thing."

He ignored Catzuki and continued the chore. He could not dignify her with a response. How dare she suggest using Aya's blood. The thought never crossed his mind and it never would.
"He's very cute." Aya responded as she tried to sit up."But Catzu, you shouldn't be so mad at Galian, he takes good care of me. He even got really upset when I suggested going to the hospital. I talked him into it, so it's really my fault." she knew her friend would blame her husband. "Galian said you were looking for your fiance, tell me about him. Hakimo, is htat his name?"
Yuki giggled softly. "We can help her out. But you'll have t convince her." She replied, she pulled out some soft blankets and towels and handed them to Gojaru, "Im not sure she'll listen to me.

"He should have stayed with you," Catsuki muttered while glancing at Chaos to make sure he was cleaning well enough. "Yes! Hakimo Dibu he's very nice." She took her communication device and searched for a picture then activated the hologram projector to create a life size image of Hakimo. "This is Hakimo, I met him a few months after we were separated in that accident. Unfortunately he was kidnapped and is being held hostage. Mobilizing too many ships will be suspicious so we're trying to rescue him without being too obvious so whoever has him doesn't hurt him."
xoxox xox xoxox
Gojaru set up the blanket and towels on the table. "Here you go Silvia, these are nice and soft. It'll be way better than laying an egg on my head, okay?"
Silvia looked back a forth between the blankets and towels and Gojaru's head. Finally, she hopped on the blanket-towel nest and got comfortable.
"Good girl, now you just have to... lay the egg, I guess. Yuki-chan what should we do next?"

"I wouldn't let him." Aya replied, "I didn't want him to see me like that! And, it wasn't his fault, really. His father....he.."
"He followed us to the hospital and arrested me." Chaos piped in, "If i refused to go with them, they'd have arrested Aya as well." Ane he went back to cleaning.
Aya looked almost ashamed that she had been one of the few crew members who had not been arrested. "But that's in the past and we're together again. The time spent apart was horrible but had to happen for a reason, Catzu. I learned a lot." she looked at the hologram, "You're the young Mr. Dibu's fiance!? That's amazing! I just read and article about her in the paper a couple of months ago, Dr. Yuki brought it too me as a gift." Aya giggled, "I'd imagined you were a young, stuffy blonde woman, who only cared about money and dogs!"
Yuki shook her head, "This is a first for me too. Maybe we should access Star and see what information she can pull up for us? I think Silvia will know more what to do without us hovering, really."

"How troublesome..." Anyone who read between the lines, could conclude that Catzuki was hinting that all that trouble was Chaos' fault, since it was his father who arrested him and that left Aya alone in the hospital. Besides, Aya not wanting to be seen like that was something Catzuki took as Chaos not earning her trust well enough, and thus being very unworthy of her. Catzuki's eyes were easy to read, but she didn't word anything, she had no inentions of starting an argument with Aya, especially not one that would most likely end how it starting, if not worse, with nothing solved.
"The press isn't too happy about me being a black neko. I can't count the times some stylist has approached me about dying my hair, but I'm keeping it, besides Haki says he likes me like this. I think there are a few dogs somewhere in the summer house, but at Dezolis we have dragons, and there's Cotton..." Some said that the bad luck of a Jinx was stronger than snow dragons, so not even they could defend Hakimo when he was kidnapped, he was doomed from the moment he met that black neko with golden eyes, double bad luck. Catzuki tried not to think too much of it. Hakimo was a bit gullible sometimes, and very kind, maybe too kind if there was such a thing.
"You should come to Dezolis sometime. It snows all year long but it's nice and warm indoors and there are lights and decorations, it's really pretty."
xoxox xox xoxox
"I think you're right..." Gojaru gently petted Silvia. "Yuki and I will give you some space now, go ahead and lay the egg when ever you're ready."

Unlike Catzuki, Aya didn't read too far into the lines. She didn't want her most cherished person to see her looking so down. It was Aya's choice to let Chaos always see her in her best. It wasn't that she didn't trust him, it was that he always made her feel beautiful and when she couldn't portray that it saddened her. Being sick meant she didn't have the energy she wanted. Naturally, Chaos owuld argue he had seen her in worse, and that she was always beautiful. Afterall, he found her when she was dying.
And that is probably why Aya didn't want him to see her like that. it was how it started and she didn't want that image burned in his mind.
Chaos paused in his work, adjusted Aya's pillows and helped her sit up. He made sure she was comfortable and gave her a kiss on the forehead before going back to the cleaning. There was a lot more of it that he had thought there would be.
She turned to Chaos for a moment and with a smile said, "Thank you honey." and she turned back to Catzuki. "Good, I'm glad you won't dye it! I like it as is. I wanted to dye mine once but Galian talked me out of it saying that black was much nicer." She knew catzuki would probably think that mean that Chaos was too controlling or something, but she giggled. "Which made me really happy, because I thought it might make him happier if it were a different color. I really wanted to keep it, so I was even happier when he agreed that I should!" Her cheeks blushed a light pink, "I'll tell you Catzu, people do crazy and silly things when they're in love." She looked at her friend long and hard, "And that's why I'm assuming you hired Pirates to find your husband: she bit her tongue, "I mean fiance."
=-=-=-=-=-= Yuki patted her on the head an gave a nod. "Good luck!" Is that something you would wish someon good luck on? She wasn't sure but she made sure none of the staff would bother her.

Catzuki's ear twitched, and she shifted her tail, but said nothing about the kiss Chaos gave Aya. "Any color would look cool for you Aya," it was Catzuki's way to say 'dye your hair if you want and don't dye it if you don't want to, but decide it for yourself either way.' She quickly glanzed at Chaos from the corner of her eyes, trying to see any possible change in his expression.
She decided to ignore him and talk as if it were just her, Cotton and Aya in the room. "I'm too lazy to deal with dye, you know I've always been kind of a tomboy, you'd see my roots all the time. Besides, I want to keep it like this too."
"I knew of their hidden history... I was thinking that they would be willing to bend the rules in ways that the police wouldn't accept. I've been out of the mercenary scene for a while and I know that kind of connections are hard to make and easy to lose. Plus if things got dangerous I would have more ways to pressure the drew into facing the situation, that's also why I came along, to make sure they didn't run away, and that they weren't too... noisy about it. We don't need to be stalked by a press ship that reveals our location to the kidnappers. What really puzzles me is that we didn't receive random notes... I don't know what it is they want from Hakimo..." Catzuki paused, breathed deeply and stabilized her tone, "but he's alive, I know it, the long range DNA radar confirms it... we just have to get there and all stops are on the way anyway, and necessary to resupply so this is as fast as we can get there."
xoxox xox xoxox
Gojaru went along with Yuki, giving Silvia her space. He hoped she came out of the birth alright. Then seemingly out of no where he laughed lightly. "I just pictured myself walking around in circles waiting for the egg to get laid. You know, that's the other eagle's job, one of these days I'll hunt him down..."

"Ah Catzu," Aya half whined, "You're too angry!" She shifted her position a little bit and listened to Catzuki speak. "I wouldn't say it's hidden, I'm sure the guys would rather be pirates that 'Hyper Quantam Lap Dogs!'" She was of course picking on Chaos and Gojaru, but it merited a chuckle from Chaos across the room, she turned a little more serious. "I would really like to meet this Hakimo though, he's got your fur all coarse." She crossed her arms, "I wonder if I'll have to give him the speech you gave Chaos," she off-handedly commented. "I doubt that though, but Catzu, why do you think someone would kidnap him and not give any notes?"
Aya pondered. "What says they're after him? I mean, how hard is it to get you away from everything?"
Yes she sounded paranoid, but anything was possible she reasoned. "Maybe someone's trying to hurt you in more ways than one."
==========
Yuki chuckled out loud and tried to stop her giggling but found the idea of Gojaru spazzing about an egg too funny. "You know, you shouldn't worry about it. Some men are not worth the time and the ones that are, are always there when they can be."

"Aya!" Catzuki half whinnied about the fur, though she couldn't deny anything and for a moment she really did imagine there was no one else there. "I think you'll get along with him really very. I think he'll probably ask you to talk me into wearing a dress. Dresses aren't my thing you know... He's never really seen me in a skirt." Catzuki had always been the tomboy, even if the dress was supposed to be for a special occasion only.
"Hakimo would be all nice, even if you do give him a speech, but he wouldn't provoke it." The reply was meant for both Aya and Chaos. "I'm not sure what, whoever has Haki wants with him... "It's so strange... This isn't the first rescue mission, a few others were sent to find him and failed. We stopped the multiple rescue missions and went for a sneak rescue instead. None of the other rescue teams made it out alive."
"What's also suspicious is that the police sent personal from all ranks, including some that were not prepared for such a mission. They died and Hakimo was moved further away. I myself had a few close calls approaching the ship where they used to keep him. When I tried to investigate I found that the kidnappers apparently stole a Hyper Quantum battle ship, I later found out the president was using his connections to send extra help to save Hakimo and recover his ship. Those connections allowed him to choose who to send based on recommendation. The recommendations not only included officers but also mercenaries and bounty hunters. Some of them were pretty well known and survived, even if they were unsuccessful. Others I'm not sure why they were recommended. I suspect, that the criteria used to chose might not have been skill in battle..."
"People who shouldn't have been sent, were sent and died, people who should have succeeded didn't, I wasn't surprised when they turned on me during my attempt to infiltrate the battle ship, which at the time I didn't know was stolen from Hyper Quantum, but it makes me think it might be something more than just a grudge against a black neko. I think someone is using Hakimo to sen certain people in suicidal rescue missions, and the possible reward if the mission was successful is the bait. With that much money involved, even the bounty hunters and mercenaries who are usually careful would try to collect the pay..."
"What doesn't make sense is that I've been monitoring a lot of different groups and none had been affected more than the next. I can't say it's the space pirates trying to weaken the police forces, or the mercenaries trying to get rid of bounty hunter competitors. Every group and alliance has lost someone... maybe someone is just trying to weaken the galaxies defenses a whole and using the prospect of a generous reward to push them into it. Even if all official rescue requests have been removed, and no one knows of this mission, there are those who would kill for just a clue that leads to a chance to save Hakimo and collect the pay... Poor Haki, if he thinks about that it'll drive him crazy. He's a total whip really, he wouldn't hurt a fly."
xoxox xox xoxox
"I guess you're right... but if that eagle crosses my path, I'm assuming destiny put him there as target practice." Silvia's pregnancy had interrupted Gojaru's moment with Yuki, and he remembered how baby eagles were chirping all the time and having to be handled with care, and fed special food. Then he remembered that this time it wasn't his pet, it was his pet's chils, so Silvia could do all that, that was a relief.

"He sounds like a great guy." Chaos sincerely said as he set more milk down for Catzuki. He opened Aya's milk and held out his hand. She grimaced.
"Do I have tooo?"
"Do you feel better when you do?" Chaos inquired.
"Usually."
"Then yes, Aya, you need to take your medicine."
Aya accepted the pills from her hand and took them with a large gulp of milk, as she set it down he put a straw into it, as he knew she would be asking for one anyways. One thing that could be said for them was that he knew what she liked.
He dismissed himself from the conversation. He knew getting rid of Catzuki would be impossible and that he would see her more often than he would like to admit, but for Aya, it would be worth it.
"Well, no matter what happens, catzu," Aya spoke, "I'm glad you chose them. Because I wouldn't trust anyone else with something like this. And because of it, we were able to meet again."
-=-=-=-=-
Yuki giggled, "I'd imagine you'd be a good father then." She smiled, like the rest of hte crew she had her secrets. "So don't worry too much about it. Worrying is normal!"

Catzuki listened to Chaos paying more attention than one would guess she was. She found nothing to complain about ans replied with a simple, "he is..." which came out a lot softer than she originally intended. Either she really missed Hakimo, she was starting to relax because Aya was there, or both.
"I'm happy we were able to meet again, I really wish I found you sooner." It was truth that maybe if they found each other things might have gone different between Aya and Chaos. Even if they met, Catzuki would be in the way from the start, they wouldn't have gotten to know each other as they did and neither Aya nor Catzuki would have been in need of comforting after the supposed death of their best friend. It also meant that Catzuki might not have met Hakimo, still she wished that she could have been there for Aya, without having to give up the chance to meet Hakimo. Then she decided not to think of it anymore and focus on the present, then in the future she would have Hakimo back and she would still have her best friend.
"I really hope he's okay... He doesn't put up a fight at all, but at least he can take a punch..." Catzuki giggled at the memory then took a sip of milk. "I beat him up when we first met, and he apologized because he was sure that he upset me that I had a justified reason to do that. I was upset about the accident, I wasn't fully recovered and I was so frustrated I hit the first unfortunate person to cross my path. It was so odd I kept waiting for him to get mad but he never did, he just smiled. So I asked him if he was a masochist and he said 'no but if you feel better getting things out of your system I'll endure it' then he hugged me. Funny how he would worry about my feelings when he's nearly bleeding to death. I still wasn't done recovering and he was beat up, wait a pair we were both in pretty bad shape. He asked about my family and well... I told him I had no place to go because my only friend in the entire universe was gone forever so he said I could go to his place. You can imagine my surprise when I found out who he was."
Catzuki smiled. "Aya... I want to hear about these years I've missed, when ever you want to tell me about it."

"Me, a father?" Somehow there was something very cute about Yuki saying this. "I've never thought about it, but I guess it's possible." Yes, maybe one day, that would be nice.

Chaos was not surprised by Catzuki's soft tone. He figured there must be kindness somewhere in her but he would not be fortunate enough to see it most of the time. As with anything else he was used to seeing only the bad.
Aya listened, the story didn't shock her in the slightest. "Well, I figured hate only way you'd ever find a man was for him to be a masochist." She mused, "I suppose I was wrong just this once." She smiled and noted how happy her friend looked when speaking about the man she loved, and she hoped that one day Catzuki could note how much she loved Chaos. Catzuki was not hard to predict, Aya knew why she did what she did. She had nowhere else to go with her energy and Catzuki never dealt well with guilt.
"I'll tell you anything you ask." Aya responded, "But you probably won't like most of it." She glanced at chaos who was still busying himself with the task appointed. The room was near spotless now but he was still going over every little detail.

Yuki paused her eyes looking somewhat sad, but when Gojaru said it was possible she smiled. "You never know, Gojaru-san. I mean, you take care of all of us. You could easily take care of a child."
