action at some point in july ig

[belheir]

[It is a BRIGHT and BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY. And Kazuya? He's at Maruki's place, simply soaking up a sunbeam, laying on the floor as his big, long, serval self right in front of the window.

His soft, kitty tummy, exposed to the world as he dozes so peacefully, so serenely. He truly is Just A Demon, and there's nothing demons love more than simply being comfortable and doing what they want.

And what he wants is to lay on the couch, taking up the whole thing with his length, as it sits in the perfect spot to soak in the sun. What a nice relaxing day. It would be a shame if someone ruined it.]

KITTYZUYA FOR ME???

[girlybruiser]

[ Maruki has welcomed Haru as a guest at the machiya, and she should take advantage when she can, like today. It's bright and beautiful; she wonders what his garden looks like in this warm sunlight.

Akira doesn't seem to be home, much to her dismay, but that's alright. She's distracted by an usually large cat that seems to splayed out on the couch as she makes her way through, a small potted plant in tow as a thank you for Maruki for tending to her injuries a while ago. ]

... what a big kitty.

[ Is it a cat? Or a wildcat? It's definitely not a Shadow, so there's no need to shoot. ]

KITTYZUYA!

[belheir]

[... Big kitty?

Kazuya inadvertantly makes the hallmark cat start up noise as he gives a gentle "brrp?" as he lifts his head to look at the person who has spoken up. It's Haru.

Oh.

It's Haru.

He didn't expect that. He didn't even know that she was allowed here, but maybe he should have expected that much, considering her connection to Akira, and therefore her connection to Maruki. Of course she'd be allowed here.

Now comes the awkward part, because technically, he'd still like to keep this form on the downlow, and only tell people he trusts. However, she's very, very clearly seen him. And now he's forced to make the decision on whether or not he should change back and inform her who he is, or to simply let things play out and play dumb cat.

He gives a soft chirping noise.

Dumb cat it is.]

[girlybruiser]

[ The fur might be sleeker than Mona's... Haru can't help but stare, trying to suppress her absolute delight to see such a feline in the machiya.

She doesn't want to startle it, though it seems pretty comfortable and unbothered by her presence, so she sets the pot down and waves from a distance. ]

Hello! Oh... what a beautiful cat you are.

[ She looks around quickly, as if she might see Maruki turn a corner, but the house seems quiet. ]

When did he get a pet?

[belheir]

[Oh. This is going to be awkward. Haru can never find out now.

Kazuya gives a creaky, gentle little meow from where he's laying, and then rolls over and gives a BIG STRETCH before sitting up to watch Haru a little more curiously. She put the pot down and waved at him, and he knows better than to respond with a wave of his own if he's playing dumb.

So he'll just sit there. Watching.

Maybe she'll go away so he can slink off and change back...]

[girlybruiser]

[ If the cat isn't walking away or conveying signs of irritation or distress...

Haru is coming over.

She takes her time, not wanting to invade its personal space so suddenly, but she's clearly very eager to get close to the large cat. ]

What kind of kitty are you? A very pretty one, for sure.

[belheir]

[Fuck.

Well. There goes that plan.

Thankfully, as Haru approaches, there's still no signs of distress or irritation, and instead, Kazuya is quick to lay back down on the couch. Once more taking up... Most of it. She'll have to shuffle him a little if she wants to sit. Or otherwise squeeze into the smaller space left behind from his giant cat body.

He gives another creaky little sound at her approach.]

[girlybruiser]

[ Joke's on Kaz, because Haru doesn't move to sit on the couch.

Instead, she crouches in front of the couch before the serval, one hand on her knee and the other reaching out slowly. ]

Hmm...

[ If Kazuya doesn't bat her hand away, she pats the top of his head, feeling the soft fur between her fingers and can't help a girlish giggle, delighted by the large feline's presence.

Alright, so no Akira (a kitty), but here's another one who's immediately enamoured with. ]

[belheir]

[There's no batting away of Haru's hand. That would be rude! And mean. And it's really his fault to begin with that he's in this entire situation, isn't it? It's not her fault that she'd found him lazing about on Maruki's couch.

So she ends up petting him, his big ears moving this way and that as she strokes his head ever so gently.

Anyway, it also turns out he has no control over that purr reflex, because it just starts up. And he makes another raspy little meow as he squints at her. Ma'am are you done... It feels nice, but are you done?]

[girlybruiser]

Oh!

[ She's heard and felt Mona's purrs before, but this is certainly on another level.

She could never tell Mona now... ]

You like that? You're such a good boy!

[ Haru rubs his head a little further, before her fingers trail toward the back of his ear to give it a good scratch. ]

[belheir]

[It's true... Kazuya's purring is much louder than a regular cat, if only because of his sheer size. It's like an airplane, almost.

His ear is scritched, and reflexively, he leans into it, eyes shutting as he just takes in the overwhelmingly pleasant sensation...

And then he pulls away, because if Maruki walks in on this, he's sure to get himself an earful.

Actually. Where is Maruki anyway? Kazuya moves his big kitty head to try and peer around Haru, looking for any sight of the man.

Nada.

No rescue will be had yet.]

[girlybruiser]

Did that bother you?

[ It seems it's looking for something... or someone.

Haru pulls her hand back initially, tilting her head to see if there's someone else in the room, but fails to hear a presence.

With big ears like that, it might have heard a bird or squirrel for all she knows. ]

Ah, I wonder if you like treats...

[ She digs into her purse, pulling out a small container that has some leftover fried fish. She was saving it for home, but... it's not going to waste either way, she hopes.

She opens the lid, breaking off a piece to offer to the feline. ]

Hm?

[belheir]

[His attention is pulled back to Haru as she asks if he likes treats, and he knows exactly what's going to happen before it does.

It's a small miracle that it's actually food, and not some horrific bag of some brand name cat treats. Man that'd be really awkward to have to choke down, and he'd never live down the shame either.

But a cat is gonna do what a cat does, so the moment the "treats" are offered, he's quick to sniff at them, batting at her hand with no claw contact at all.

How embarrassing to play dumb animal. He hopes Maruki doesn't walk in and see this.]

[girlybruiser]

[ She laughs at the serval's curiosity, putting it in front of him on the couch to see if he'll eat it there rather than from her hand.

But it frees up her hand so she can rub both his cheeks now. ]

You really are so soft! Maybe you belong to Akira-kun? He's more of a cat person.

[belheir]

[ The treat is politely and daintily eaten, mostly because he still has no clue how to properly eat as a cat because he doesn't need to.

Afterwards though, he really is content to just. Let her rub at his cheeks, which has the effect of also making him yawn...

Please no fingers in his mouth. ]

[girlybruiser]

[ She's not crazy enough to put her fingers in his mouth.

But she does lean in closer, her forehead touching his and nuzzling his face with hers. It's not overly aggressive, but gentle and slow, like she's trying to tell him he can trust her presence.

Too bad she isn't aware this cat is far smarter than she thinks it is. ]

[belheir]

[ Thank goodness... His yawn is met with her gentle headbutt, and he makes a surprised little noise as she rubs her head against his.

He still purrs, and awkwardly presses his own back, front paws coming up to rest on her shoulder so he can get better leverage to do so.

Yeah, sure. He's definitely smarter, which is why he's stuck in this situation to begin with. ]

[girlybruiser]

Oh!

[ She's a little too excited by this mysterious big cat who seems to be comfortable enough with her to, what she thinks, hug her in return.

She's trying not to squeal with childish delight, but it's hard not to... big cat... ]

You're very friendly... thank you! Such a good kitty.

[ She plants a little kiss on his forehead. ]

[belheir]

[ Oh!

He goes still at the kiss. This feels a little... well, people kiss their pets all the time, so it's probably not as dire as he thinks it is, right?

Right.

So he opens his mouth, and gives a creaky, pathetic, long meow at her.

Is there lipstick on his head...]

[girlybruiser]

[ There are about to be multiple stains of lipstick on his fur, because Haru suddenly shifts into overdrive.

Commencing... multiple kisses. A barrage of kisses. ]

Who's the best kitty? Just don't tell Mona-chan I said that...

[belheir]

[ He's kissed again! And again. And again!

And again, again, again again and all he can do is take it and wonder who the heck Mona-chan is... Her cat? Must be.

More kisses come, and Kazuya eventually gives another pathetic sounding creaky meow, this one a little louder. He's not stopping her, just trying to maybe draw attention to himself if someone else is here... ]

[girlybruiser]

[ Haru pulls back, suddenly satisfied. She's gotten all the kitty fawning out of her system for now.

There are multiple lipstick marks on Kaz's fur, but that's okay. It's not as if the people in the machiya surely aren't doing the same when they see him, right?

Anyway. ]

You're a sweet boy. I have to go, but please don't eat this plant I brought for Dr. Maruki! It'll make your tummy upset.

[ Note to self: grow some cat grass. ]

[belheir]

[ Oh? She's done? He's safe now? He rapidly shakes himself from the overstimulation of being on the end of a kiss barrage. Whew... He lived!

... Hopefully she doesn't catch him again. He's going to have to ask Maruki to inform him of when guests other than him are dropping by so he doesn't get caught with his metaphorical pants down.

Also, he can't help the way his gaze shifts to that plant she brought for Maruki. No eating, huh?

Not that he would, he's not an actual animal.

So instead he makes a series of soft chirps at Haru. ]

OKAY FINE UNWRAPPED

[girlybruiser]

[ Haru rises to her feet, dusting off her knees, then waves to the large feline and steps back to let him enjoy the sunlight again. ]

Bye kitty! I guess I'll see you around!

[ She doesn't linger long; she puts the small plant somewhere for Maruki to see, but away from feline paws that might try to reach for it.

And then she's gone, leaving Kaz to his own devices once more. ]

lmaoooooo sup loser

[placation]

[ Much like a French farce, nearly the moment Haru leaves through the front door, Maruki appears through the door that leads out back toward the training area.

He doesn't think anything of it, walking right past where Kazuya was left, focused on his phone–

Then he pauses and backs up, doing a truly comically pronounced doubletake at the cat. ]

Who on earth did that to you!? You ladykiller...
