Of Cats and Dogs, Yukai and Kiathra

Yukai sat back in her seat, pondering what to do. No projects to work on. No missions to do. Nothing. Nothing but stare at the stone ceiling, which made an excellent contrast to the stone walls and stone floors. Oh, and sand. There was a shit load of sand too.

A long drawn sigh was released, and the wide eyed puppy-girl sat up. Her pale green orbs sweeped left.... right... left,... right... left... right... left... right... left.... right... left....

"DAMN IT WHY AM I SO BORED!?!?!"

She fell from her chair hitting her head. "Owowowowowowoooow.... wait! The new girl! I can talk to her!" She jumped up and ran down the hall excitedly, reaching the door. She knocked rapidly.

"New girl? You in there?"

Kiathra had been peacefully napping on her new bed when the sudden and rapid knocking came to her door, accompanied with an annoying voice. She quickly jerked from her sleep only to fall off the bed with a thud. She quickly gets up and goes to the door and opens it a crack to glare at the girl outside it.

"What the hell is it?" she said angrily as she opened the door the rest of the way, "and my name is Kiathra, not 'new girl'" she put in, being called new girl was soooo annoying! And why the hell did the dog girl come knocking on her door anyway?

"Oh! Okay then Kiathra! I'm Yukai.... I thought I may as well welcome you here~!" Her eyes tinkled with a bit of joy. He mouth was in a wide smile. She was simply radiating the joy that her name suggested.

She smiled and stepped into the room, eyes widening. the room appeared to be well furnished. Not only that, but it was surprisingly clean, both of which "Woooow... nice place you got here.... and your a mutant too! AWESOME!"

Yukai had several thoughts rushing in her head. Maybe she was nice? If not, could they still be friends? Was she annoying her... or was it just coming out that way? 'Oh well... hope for the best...' She smiled and gave a thumbs up toward the girl.

Her ears flattened back and her tail stiffened with annoyance as she held back a snarl directed at Yukai. The girl had the nerve to walk into HER room uninvited just to make silly little comments! And most of all, the happiness that came from her was just unnatural and creepy....

"I don't need welcoming...or want it." she snapped as she tried to make her attitude clear about having visitors. She quietly made sure that her guns were tucked away and that her short katana was under her bed where Yukai couldn't see them, or mess with them for that matter. She didn't want this childish dog-girl to hurt herself with them.

She really wanted the girl gone so she could go back to her nap, but she knew that wasn't going to happen, "Look," she said, "i don't really know your motives for even wanting to welcome me, but id like you out of my room, i'm going for a walk." she finished with a dismissive tone and walked over to the door.

"Aw, Kia-chan~!"

Yup, she was gonna get her ass beat to hell now.

"Kia-chan, come on! I'm just trying to be nice!." She smiled cutely and caught up with the girl, walking with her, her jacket flapping in the wind. This girl.... she was rough around the edges.... but everyones nice deep down! Well, thats how she saw it anyway.

"So..." God.... so hard to thin of something to talk about.... hmm. Weapons? Yukai wasn't very keen on weapons. TV? No, they didnt get TV out here. Politics? Right, they were FIGHTING capitalism. Maybe.... mayyybeee....


"Ummm... so.... whats your job around here? You like, a weapons girl or something? Engineer? Builder? Driver? Maybe Repairs?" She smiled again, curious for an answer.... this girl was just so mysterious.... it was so interesting!

Kiathra flicked her ears in annoyance when she heard 'Kia-chan'. A nickname already? she tried to walk faster but the girl kept up and wouldn't shut up, making her ears want to close up. While her green shirt was half blinding her vision, oh how Kiathra wanted to punch this girl in the face!

"I don't give a frick if you're trying to be nice damn it! And I'm a fighter." she snapped at the dog girl. She turned the next corner, the wrong corner, then the next, another wrong turn. This girl had gotten her so annoyed that she had no idea where she was going!

She came to an abrupt halt and turned to look at Yukai, putting a strong hand on the top of the girls head. She bends over to be eye level with the girl and her ears are back and her eyes were narrowed in annoyance while there was an evil smile on her face as her tail twitched angrily. "you have no idea how much i want to punch your face in right now do you?" she asked, making sure she sounded as scary as possible.

The girl simple closed her eyes and smiled.

"I'd advise against that~"

She looked the other girl straight in the eyes. A fighter, hmm? She certainly had the build. And the looks. The attitude. The weapons. the overall personality. Everything about was is fierce

But Yukai had an advantage.

She, was a dog. Dogs... loving, and playful. Loyal. Protecting. A hidden intelligence. An overall cute and positive outlook on life.

In the world of Cats and Dogs, Yukai had an advantage.

Dogs can learn tricks.

That somehow cute little quirk this girl had was absolutely infuriating! 'This is why i hate dogs...they think they're just so damn cute!' she thought.

Her lip twitched into a semi-smile showing her four and a half inch fangs. Now how will she get rid of this girl, she could always punch her like she threatened, but she'd get into trouble, and her weapons were in her room so she couldn't threaten her with them.

"Why don't you want to leave me be?" she asked, her voice full of her inner annoyance and curiosity. "Do you enjoy pissing me off?" she added, true the girl had barely done anything, but her attitude was the most annoying part of her.

"Pissing you off...?"

The girl simply shrugged. "I have no clue what you mean. I'm just being friendly.... if anything... your just being stuborn..."

Wait a minute.... easily flustered.... is always alone.... hates socializing...

"I'm not really pissing you off, am I Kia-chan?" She smiled up at the girl. She had a good idea of what was going on.

"Or... at least not for why your saying. It's not ME or my personality thats pissing you off.... its the fact that I want to get to know you. I'm not pissing you off.... me wanting to get to know you better is whats really pissing you off. You just want to close everyone out, right? Always wanna be alone?"

She looked up at the girl, her eyes showing traces of concern

She quickly closed her mouth and glared at her after hearing her talk, yet again, leaving just one fang hanging over her bottom lip. She had virtually hit the nail on the head...but she didn't want to admit it.

She hoped it was just a lucky guess, otherwise she'd have to reconsider how smart dogs could be. But she took at step back and turned to face the way they had come. She hated being around this persistent girl. Why Yukai want to even be around her puzzled her.

"Yes, you are. And you can stop calling me Kia-chan, its very annoying. Just use my normal name if you want to talk to me." she told the dog girl as she started to walk back down the corridor.

She pouted a bit.

"Fine...." She looked around for a bit. TO the left: Stone and sand. To the right: stone and sand. The floor: stone and.... I think you get where this is going.

She let out a small "Uaahhh..." followed by a "I really wish I had more to do around here.... they rarely need me for my job...." She started to put again, lookig the girl over.

"Your a Fighter.... they actually use you.... you get good experience out of training.... I wish I could do that...."

She looked down as she walked and stopped at the corner before rounding it. "Look," she started trying not to sound arrogant, "do you really think that pushing your troubles on another person will help make them go away?" she asked with her voice making her sound annoyed though she was a bit curios for some reason about what the girl's job was.

"Its not my fault im stong and you're weak, its your own." She turned her head to look at the saddened pup of a girl with hard eyes though a smirk was trying to claw its way onto her face. And she got the strangest thought to teach the girl how to fight, but then shook her head at the thought.

She put a hand on the wall and she turned around to face the girl with her eyes closed so she wouldn't have to watch her pout. "and sseing how im lost now, and you've been here alot longer than me...I'd appreciate it if you'd show me back to the hallway my room is in" she asked trying her best to sound nice instead of like she was ordering the girl to do it.
