Angela awoke early the next morning feeling extremely parched. Throwing aside the blanket, she wondered where the cats were, as they usually liked to sleep on her. Throwing on an oversized T-shirt from her medical school, she peered over the ledge in front of the bed to see that the kittens were draped over Genzo in various forms of repose. Yang was sleeping on the pillow next to his shoulder, her head resting on his neck. Yin had arranged herself so that her head was tucked between his chin and chest. Snotty was comfortably curled up in a ball on his crotch.
Doing her best not to make a sound, she crept downstairs with her digital camera in hand and snapped a photo of the scene, chortling under her breath. Genzo continued to sleep, one arm slung over his eyes, snoring softly with his mouth slightly open. At the sound of the shutter, Snotty awoke and when he saw Angela, he stretched and began to roll playfully on his back, requesting tummy rubs. When he got up, his movements had apparently had an effect on Genzo's morning wood, as it stood up and twitched a few times under his loose shorts. Transfixed by the movement, Snotty watched it for a moment before pouncing on it, his claws extended.
Genzo nearly catapulted all three cats off of his body when he sat bolt upright with an angry roar of pain. Not wanting him to be embarrassed, Angela had ducked into the nearest bathroom before he could see her and turned on the shower full force to cover up the sounds of her laughter. From outside, she heard his voice thunder, "[Konnoyaro]! Which one of you did that?" and she had to smother her face with a towel as she cracked up. Deciding to take a shower, she forced herself to get it all out, not wanting Genzo to know that she had witnessed the whole thing.
Glaring at the three pairs of frightened eyes that looked up at him from underneath the couch, Genzo, rubbed his groin, scowling. Fuck, that had hurt, especially since he was stiff. He could only pray that Angela had gotten into the shower before hearing him shout. Five minutes later, the bathroom door opened to let out a cloud of steam and she walked out drying her hair. "[Ohaiyo], Genzo," she said from behind a curtain of hair, just in case she had the need to smile.
"[Ohaiyo]," he muttered gruffly.
[Back to his usual sunny self again], she thought with chagrin. "I'm going to make breakfast. Would you like some?"
"I will join you."
Chucking the towel over a chair, she tried not to giggle when she saw that he had a throw pillow over his lap. Rummaging around in the kitchen, she pulled out some staples and began frying some eggs. Setting the food on two plates, she placed them on the table and called out, "Come and get it!"
Genzo, his erection now tamed, rubbed his hand sleepily over his hair and sat down heavily in a chair. When she pushed the plate in front of him, he was surprised to find that he was actually quite hungry and when she nodded, he dug in. "Thank you."
"Noboru's flying in today."
His glass of orange juice paused just before it touched his lips. "[Nani]?"
"Noboru called last night to say that he was on his way to the airport." She chewed a piece of toast, wondering why he looked so shocked.
Frowning, Genzo mumbled, "I never received a call from him."
"He probably figured I'd tell you," she reasoned.
"Perhaps." They ate together in silence.
Unable to resist, she casually began, "So, I uh, saw that you and the cats have been spending a lot of time together lately."
His food halfway to his mouth, Genzo froze. Shit, had she seen him hard? Setting down his fork, he attempted to look neutral as he asked, "What do you mean?"
Angela pulled out her digital camera with a smirk and showed him the photo she had taken. "Cute, huh? I couldn't pass up the opportunity and I grabbed a quick shot before hopping in the shower."
Too busy being relieved to be angry, he nonetheless scowled at her and finished his meal, muttering something in Japanese about not respecting people's privacy.
"Genzo, let's go out today."
"Eh?" he said through a mouthful of food.
She leaned forward on the table and propped her chin up on one hand. "I'm getting a serious case of cabin fever. I haven't been out of this building for even a cup of coffee since last weekend. I need some air."
Genuinely feeling bad for her, it had been hard on him too to be cooped up for so long. He sat back in his chair and looked at her. "What would you like to do?"
"I don't know." Her face brightened. "Let's go sit on the lakefront. You know, behind the aquarium? I can pack a little lunch or something."
It sounded safe enough. "That would be fine."
"Woah, woah, better curb that generous streak there, Ninja Boy," she teased.
"Ninja Boy?" he growled.
"Ah ah ah, temper, temper." She wagged a finger in the air. "It would be unfortunate if Ninja Boy had to lose face because pictures of him sleeping with kittens were to surface on the Internet."
His eyes narrowed in warning. "You would not dare."
Leaning over the table even further, she shot him an evil smile. "Try me."
He noticed for the first time that she had freckles. It added to her playful appearance. "Do not push your luck," he warned.
"Or what?" She sat back and crossed her arms smugly.
Ignoring her statement, he walked over to the bathroom he had been using and stripped. He would never admit it to her face, but she was starting to grow on him. As he brushed his teeth, he couldn't help smiling when he thought back to how she had pwned him at SoulCalibur and shook his head, chuckling a little to himself. In spite of himself, he was actually having fun spending time with her. It had been such a long time since he'd had female company.
Stepping into the shower, he remembered being woken up by her scent. It was the first time he could smell just her and not her mixed with Noboru and he was stunned to discover that he liked it. Just thinking about the aroma caused his cock to swell and in seconds he was fully erect. His memory of the dream he'd had of her drew a stream of precum from his head. Unable to help it, he stroked himself and memories of happening upon her while she was half naked heightened his pleasure. Suddenly the image of him sliding his cock in and out of her came into his mind and he sprayed the bathroom wall with his cum. Leaning against the wall with one arm, he tried to catch his breath as he watched his spunk slip down the tiles. This would not do. He couldn't be lusting after her -- she belonged to Noboru, and he'd entrusted him with her safety. Finishing his shower, he figured at least his libido would be under control until Noboru returned home.

When he'd finished getting dressed, he saw that she had packed a bag with a blanket and some sandwiches. "Ready?"
"Hai."
Laughing excitedly, she caught him off guard when she grabbed him by the arm and dragged him out the door. Her eagerness to get outside was all too obvious as she kept hopping up and down as she watched the elevator's digital display with wide eyes. Realizing how her new life had actually imprisoned her in many ways, he felt a genuine surge of pity for her and understood why she tried so hard to be friendly with him. For the moment, he and Noboru were all she had, but she never complained, not once, and she had always been kind to him. He found himself wishing that he had been a bit nicer to her when they had initially met.
"Genzo, you okay?" She looked at him curiously.
"What?" He snapped out of his reverie. "Yes I am fine."
