Cat house chapter two
((chapter two is a continue of chapter one so I hope you all enjoy))
"Ancient? perhaps you could say that. I have been around along time yes." He opened his eyes and looked to her carefully "Why do you ask? I am of no interest to anyone really." He looked around oncre more before watching her with his amber eyes.
Eriko made a sound in the back of her throat and fidgeted around in the chair until she was curled up in a ball and sleepily gazed up at him. "Why? Well, you seem pretty interesting enough to me. Plus I was kind of curious about you." She yawned and closed her eyes, her tail flickering around as she became content that she was on something soft. Though her bed would be better, she didn't want to budge just yet. "..and you sound old to me."
Saitou merely grinned for the forst time and sighed slightly "I am old, I look fourty but I am over a hundred.." He shook his head as he watched the woman curl up in a chair "Perhaps you should go to sleep now, I will watch things and be gone in the morning." He nodded slightly as he crossed his arms over his chest.
Her eyes opened halfway and she gave him an odd look before sitting back up and stretching her arms out. "I was so comfortable there, but..it'll do a number on my back." She yawned again and slipped off the chair. Before she left down the hall she paused and looked at him. "You sound old, you are old, but you don't look like you're that old." She smiled and bade him goodnight before dragging herself into her room and plopping on the bed. "I wish he could stay a bit in the morning, but he probably has family to get to.." She mumbled and burrowed into her blankets.
"Old it is then.." He scoffed slightly before closeing his eyes once more and let himself relax and drifted off into a light sleep, his mind still aware of everything going on around him and he sighed.
Sloan leaned against the doorframe as she looked in on Eriko and couldn't help but smile as she shook her head and slowly glanced down the hall at Saitou. "Hmm..looks like someone has an admirer.." She said to herself quietly and moved back into her own room, but not before sticking her tongue out at the man.
"Keep that tongue in your mouth if you know what I mean miss.." He opened his eyes slowly and glared to the demon before looking back to the floor carefully and sighed a bit.
Sloan paused in the doorway and came into the den, taking a seat across from him. "I'm somewhat surprised to still see you here, but that's what happens when you meet someone," She stopped there and thought of a suitable word. "Goodnatured perhaps. You live alone, don't you.." She said, more of a fact than saying it as a question.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saitou merely opened his eyes to look at Sloan, his eyes narrowing slightly as she spoke then he sighed a bit "Meeting someone? what nonsense do you speak of..." He shook his head slightly.
"And what does it mean to you if I live alone? I always have." He nodded slightly as he kept his arms crossed then closed his eyes and sighed a bit before shaking his head.
"A type of nonsense you should know very well already." She glanced up at the clock and thought about when she would have to leave the house again. But she looked at Saitou and realized that it would be a problem for her. "It means nothing to me, but more so..someone else. I just can't have Eriko trying to find someone like you in the middle of the night.." She rose from the chair and looked down at him. "I'm not responsible for any type of emotion she may feel towards you from here on now."
Saitou merely shook his head and sighed as he reachedinto his pocket and produced a simple cigarette and a mtachboom. Carefully he stuck the match and began to lite it before finally waving the math out and tossing it to the ashtray on the coffee table "Why would your sister want to find me in the middle of the night and why the hell would she want to show emotion to someone such as me. Afterall, emotions are something I have thrown away really.."
"Idiot." Sloan sighed and thought about how she should exactly say what she thought was happening. "You're the only one, who has dared to do something about me and for that she looks up to you." She started pacing around the room, tapping a finger against her chin. "She's still a little girl, so of course..crushes are developed. I suggest that you take with her about it, clearly you're much older and can make her understand." She stopped pacing and looked at him with a shake of her head. "..and what a pointless thing for you to do."
Saitou sighed lightly as he took a long drag off of his cigarette and looked to the floor as if in thought then shook his head "Yes perhaaps I should talk with her then, and just because I am older dosnt mean she would understand.." He looked to his cigarette then raised his hand and looked it over carefully "And no its not a pointless thing, It was my life then and it always hung in the balance, for in a fight each opponent can see anothers move just by looking to their emotiones..."
Sloan shrugged and watched his every move like a hawk. e did have some truth, but she smiled at the thought of what would happen when they did talk. "That may be.." She mumbled and looked at the clock again. It was really late and she deided not to go out this time. She started walking back to her room and paused at her door. "Hmm. But if it was a battle of love, what do you think would happen?" She left the question hanging and disappeared into the room. "Oh, and I think she's still awake so..good luck."
He merely sighed as he stood up carefully and walked to the ashtray and put out his cigarette and stetched slightly as he sighed and looked back to his hands ccarefully once ore beofre looking to the kitchen. Slowly he walked to the fridge and began to search,s topping once he spotted a bottle of water and took it out and opened it. he took a small sip and turned, seeing Eriko's room and shook his head slightly.
Eriko found she was having trouble getting to sleep and sat up in bed, glaring at all the things in her room. She slipped out of bed and started walking around in a circle, hoping to make herself tired, but nothing was working. Frustrated she opened the door to her room and blinked when she saw someone looking at her and turned red as she slammed the door and ran into bed. "She didn't kick him out?!" She looked to the door and watched it. "..I hope he's not..some secret serial killer preying on woman.."
Saitou merely blinked slightly as she slammed the door and he sighed once more as he finished off his water and tossed the empty bottle away and walked to her room and knocked on the door before opening it slowly 'I thought you were asleep, does something happeen to be wrong?"
Eriko looked up and almost screamed as she jumped out of bed, and rushed up to him before quickly turning him around and trying to push him out of her room. "N-no everything is okay! I just..needed something to drink, but not anymore!" She realized she was touching him and pulled her hands back, feeling like she was burned when she did. Her face turned red again and she starting bowing before him.
Saitou merely tilted his head as she tried to push him out and he sighed lightly. When she removed her hands he turned and looked to her carefully, noticeing her face was red and he narrowed his eyes as he crossed his amrs slightly "You sure are acting strange arent you miss, care to talk about it.."
Her eyes widdened slightly and she pushed past him out into the hall. "Strange? No..no one acting strange here! I'm perfectly fine, really.." She tried to reassure him, but found it hard and went into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and just grabbed a random food, which happened to be milk and she glowered at it. "Uh..I don't think I need to talk about anything..because nothing is wrong." She pulled out a glass from a cupboard and started to pour the milk into it.
