Act Three-

Pretty In Pink

The morning Ki-ko woke up he was rapped in Neko's arms. He gave a small squeak and jumped up off the bed, as if set on fire. Neko muttered in his sleep and rolled a bit. Ki-ko crawled back on the bed and sat on his knees. He gently brushed his finger a crossed his cheek and then brushed his hair away from his eyes. Then he ran his figure down his cheek.

Two-sy sat up and yawned, then blinked at him. He stretched then slowly walked over to him.

"Come on love," Ki-ko muttered, "let's get ready for today."

Two-sy pawed his way out of Ki-ko's bit tote bag, and quickly ran out of the class room with out Ki-ko's knowledge. Then he made his way down the hall, the tiny bells on his collar jingled softly. He went into every open door until he finally found Neko's room, and went in, then jumped into his lap softly.

"What the hell?" he muttered quietly. "Two-sy? What are you doing here? Where's Ki-ko?"

Two-sy blinked up at him and gave a small meow in response. Then he curled up in his lap and closed his eyes.

"Your gonna get me in a lot of trouble little guy." He grumbled and tried to hide the kitten in his shirt. He scratched him behind his little white ears and listened to his small purr.

Thankfully the bell would ring in a few minutes and when it did he quickly got up and made his way out the door with Two-sy in his arms. He looked for Ki-ko and found him franticly searching an empty class room, with watery eyes.

"What's wrong?" Neko asked.

"Two-sy's gone." He cried from the floor where he was on his hands and knees. Neko knelt down next to him and tilted his chin up.

"Don't cry." He said and opened his free arm to let him see the tiny bundle asleep. "He's fine. He found me in my class." He put Two-sy in his arms and pulled the into his strong arms. "See? He's fine. Not hurt at all."

Ki-ko rubbed his cheek against the pure white fur of his kitten and closed his eyes. Two-sy had scared him to death. When he couldn't find him he panicked. Not just because of his fear for the kitten, but also the fear of suddenly being alone again. Of not being able to come home to some one or talk to, even play with another living being.

Neko stoked his hair gently. "Come on, let's get lunch ok?" He helped in stand and then helped him pack his bag. Then they walked out of the room and down to the cafeteria were they stood in line grabbed their trays and sat down at a table together. Then they ate and talked a little as well. A group of boys sat next to them.

"Dude, why are you hanging out with the freak?' one asked.

"Yeah man, what is this? Charity for the physically morbid?" another asked.

"Shut up all of you." Neko growled. "Or get the hell away from us."

"Oh come on man, don't be like that."

"Tony I said shut up."

"He's right you guys, chill out already. Besides, at least he's prettier than all your moms put together." A Mexican boy said smirking.

"What bitch?" Tony asked.

"Go cool down somewhere Tony; bring your thugs with you." Neko muttered.

Tony smirked and stood up with his friends fallowing him. All accept the Mexican boy.

"Hey man, sorry about that." He said and smiled gently. "Their all idiots."

"The understatement of the year." Neko growled.

"I'm Alias." He said and held out his hand. Ki-ko stared at it a moment then he took it gently and shook it.

"Ki-ko."

"Nice to meet you." He said smirking still. "Umm, your kitten is eating you taco."

Ki-ko glanced down to find Two-sy eating his soft taco.

"Hey! Stop that. That's not for you." He said and pushed it away. Two-sy gave him a guilty look and then stared hungrily back at the taco."

"El Quito taco bell kitten?" Alias asked laughing. He leaned over and scratched his ears then poured some milk in a tiny container and pushed it to Two-sy. Two-sy gratefully began to lick it up and purr. When it was all gone he jumped up onto the table and walked to Alias. He rubbed up against his hand and purred lovingly and then sat down to clean his face.

"I think he likes you." Neko muttered and took a bite of his own food.

Ki-ko stared at Alias then at Two-sy as if he were confused. Then he shook his head and continued to eat.

"Get up. You're coming with me to dinner." Neko said.

"What?"

"Come up, get up I said." He gently pulled him up off of the couch and pushed him to the dresser.

"No Neko, I can't."

"Yes you can. Now get dressed." He said his voice was hard and pushy. Ki-ko winced at it and grabbed some cloths from the dresser. "Go take a shower and get ready."

Ki-ko quickly went to the shower with Two-sy fallowing him into the bathroom. He turned on the shower and was shocked when Two-sy jumped in. He quickly striped and got in, grabbing the soaking wet kitten.

"You're going to drown our self silly." He muttered and let him self be drenched with water. He put him down on the opposite side of the tub and continued to wash and then cleaned his hair. He then dried off and grabbed Two-sy and rubbed him dry so that he was a big fluff ball. Ki-ko chuckled at his appearance and then set him down in the big pink towel where he peaked out from and stared at him.

Ki-ko dressed in black baggy Tripp that had little pink pockets to mach the Chinese high neck sleeveless top. He had black swirly designs on the front. He braided his hair and painted his lips red, then underlined his eyes with black and put cream red eye shadow on his eyelids. He combed Two-sy's fur and put on another collar that had green bells and was black. He picked two-sy up and they left the bathroom.

"Wow, you look grate."

He nodded his thanks and put the leash on Two-sy.

"You're bringing him?' Neko asked.

"Of course." He said looking somewhat shocked that Neko would ask such a question. "Two-sy goes every where with me. Besides, he's hungry to, and if I have to suffer an evening with you so does he." He muttered and stood up. He fallowed Neko out the door and into a car, where they drove off campus to a small dinner where the students hung out on the weekends. Inside was loud and hot with lots of people.

Neko led him to a table that already had four people in it. Alias being one of them. Ki-ko felt sick.

"Sit down." Neko said and pulled him down. Ki-ko pulled Two-sy into the booth with them.

"So what's going on?" Alias asked and took a sip of his soda.

"Not much." Neko said with a shrug. Every one was staring at Ki-ko.

"What about you?" Alias asked.

"Nothing." He said. Inwardly he thought, 'oh I'm just trying not to run out of here puking with fear. What's new with you?'

"So you and Neko are room mates?" A blond girl asked.

"Not just room mates Sandy, he's my friend to." Neko said pulling Ki-ko into his side and rapping an arm around his waist. Two-sy jumped up onto the table and sat down, blinking at the group as if to say,

"They're tow of a kind."
