With the initial back and forth out of the way, Akagi got to work making up for lost kitty time and was currently rolling around on the floor and playing with Mika.

"Over here, kitty! Over here!" Mika laughed as she stuck out her hands, which Akagi tried, and failed, to pounce on. "Oops! So close! Try again, kitty! I know you can do it!"

{This is amazing!} (Mika)

"MEW! MEW! MEW!" Akagi prepared herself for the coming battle, readying herself to grab the elusive hand.

"Go, kitty! Go! Get her!" Naomi laughed as she cheered the Catkagi on, much to the amusement of Yumi and the exasperation of Kana and her girlfriend who watched as the kitty chased Mika's hand around the floor.

"She's back five minutes, and Mika is already Mikaing..." Kana sighed, though she did have a small smile on her face.

"I don't think that there's wrong with a bit of fun." Yumi chuckled as she took a seat on the couch across from them. "Akagi missed her friend while we were gone, so just let her have some fun. Or would you deny the kitty some fun and games?"

"10:1 Yumi is screaming internally about it not being her that's playing with the kitty." Hishya nudged Kana, who laughed at the, likely correct, joke.

"Is there even a point to betting? It's a 100% guarantee with this one." Kana said as she laughed. “Yumi basically pouts like a sad puppy if the kitty is away too long.”

"I can share the kitty... sometimes..." Yumi said with a wry smile as she internally lamented how much Miji stole her away.

"Oh you know that she is definitely jealous." Hishya smirked as she glanced over at Yumi. "How tragic it must be for your lover to be flopping about with other girls for head pats and ear scratches. It must be awful."

"Yeah. Unfortunately for Yumi, Onee-chan cares not from where the pets come, only that they do and in large numbers." Kana said as she continued to giggle at Yumi's expense.

{Why must they pick on me...} (Yumi)

"You know that the moment Miji gets up from her nap she is going to pin Akagi to the floor and pet her into oblivion!" Hishya laughed as she pictured the tiny girl tackling and squeezing Akagi into paste.

"She's absolutely going to scream KITTY at the top of her lungs as soon as she sees Onee-chan, and I wouldn't be shocked if she squeezes her so hard that Onee-chan pops like she did that one time with Mika." Kana continued to laugh.

"I... I already told her no exploding in front of Miji." Yumi replied. "But it's fine. Miji can pet her as much as she wants. It doesn't bother me, and in fact, I'm glad that my sister gets along with her so well."

{I'm not jealous of her, nopers. I definitely don't want to whisk the kitty away and sunggle her in a dark corner of her shadow until the end of time, nopers.} (Yumi)

"Oh god, she's fucking seething." Hishya wheezed as she read the thoughts that were visible on Yumi's face. "Yumi's gonna snap a fit at this rate! Mika, please pet Akagi more! I want to see-" Her words stopped as a knife embedded itself into the couch next to her head.

*THUNK*

"Oh dear, it would seem that my hand slipped." Yumi laughed unnervingly as she locked eyes with the Dragon. "How clumsy of me. It would've been a shame if that would've removed your head from your body."

{A true tragedy indeed.} (Yumi)

"Oi! That's a magic dagger that could actually hurt me you ass!" Hishya yelled, noting that the dagger in question was coated in an anti-dragon coating like Tiball's swords were.

{I mean it wouldn't have killed me but it would've stung a bit! Not cool!} (Hishya)

"It's alright, after all you weren't hit by it, this time." Yumi smiled, not so subtly threatening to allow her hand to slip again.

"Man, Onee-chan really has tainted her. Not that long ago she probably would've just laughed your comments, but this time Yumi went and instantly chose violence." Kana said with a snicker.

{You say tainted, I say made better!} (Yumi)

"Why are you laughing at me nearly getting hurt?" Hishya poked her girlfriend's cheek.

{Where's my sympathy! You didn't even look worried!} (Hishya)

"Because it's funny?" Kana replied, wondering why Hishya asked a rhetorical question.

"Oh yeah, that's right I forgot, you're your sister's sister, so a sadist by default." Hishya rolled her eyes.

"I love you too." Kana laughed as she gave Hishya a playful kiss on the cheek, which embarrassed the Dragon and made her cheeks turn slightly red.

"Daww, ain't they such a bunch of cute love birds." Mika said as she pet the tiny Catkagi. "They're so adorable, righ Naomi?"

"Oh they're something alright." Naomi commented, not wanting to dive into that mess.

"Mika, don't you have homework to do?" Kana clapped back. "Do you really have time to be playing with Onee-chan? The teacher already yelled at you for turning in the summer homework late and if you don't get it done soon you're going to get a zero for it."

"It's alright! After all kitty will do my homework for me, right?" Mika looked down at Catkagi, pleading for help. "Right?"

{Please do it I have no faith in myself to complete it correctly, nor do I have the desire to try.} (Mika)

"Mew?" Akagi tilted her head cutely.

"♫I'll give you extra pets♫." Mika tried her hardest to persuade her, putting a bit of musical whimsy in her words.

"That's about the only kind of bribe that will work on her." Naomi laughed as she watched Mika desperately beg for homework help.

"I mean, I'll do it, but it will probably be all wrong." Akagi said as Mika scratched an itch on her back.

"Aren't you like super smart now? Why would it be wrong?!?" Mika protested, though kept up her petting.

{Can't you count to infinity twice now or something?!? How is some math homework and a book report out of your league?!?} (Mika)

"Because I'm lazy and I'm not dedicating a mind to that boring stuff." Akagi retorted with a cheeky smile that caused Mika to bop her on the head.

"What, are the other billion all busy with fluff-related things?" Hishya scoffed at the Demon's excuse.

"That and plans on mass annihilation of an entire continent's population." Akagi said something quite dark so nonchalantly. "So, you know, important things."

{What did I expect her answer to be?} (Hishya)

"Now now, Jjust be kitty and don't do those bad things." Mika said as she pat the kitty Demon on the head. "Yes, be a good kitty. No destroying worlds. Happy kitty. Just sit back and be spoiled by my scratches and pets."

"MEW!" Akagi meowed happily as her ears were played with while she purred.

{You know, at this point I'm starting to think that she makes threats of world destruction just to get more pets...} (Hishya)

"Oh, wait!" Naomi exclaimed before rifling through her purse for a moment and pulling out a tiny laser pointer. "I've been wanting to do this for so long." She laughed as she pushed a button causing a tiny red dot to appear on the floor in front of Mika as a laser shot out of it.

"MEW!" The Catkagi dove toward the red dot, unable to pin it down as Naomi swished it around the room.

*WOOSH* *WOOSH* *WOOSH* *WOOSH* *WOOSH* *WOOSH*

“Go kitty! Go!” Naomi laughed as Akagi zipped all over the living room chasing the pointer, trying hard to catch the elusive dot of light.

“MEW!” Akagi hissed, unable to catch it as it flew around the room.

"She's actually chasing it..." Hishya sighed.

{Why am I both surprised and not...} (Hishya)

"I would've been more shocked if she didn't go after it." Kana shrugged as the cat zoomed past her head as climbed in the back of the couch. “This is absolutely in character for Onee-chan at this point.”

{And you all just accept it like its normal... W ell, I suppose I do too, don't I? Stupid cat...} (Hishya)

"Here! Up here, kitty!" Naomi pointed the laser toward the blade of the slowly ceiling fan. “Get it! Its waiting for you!”

"MEW!" Akagi cried out as she leaped toward the fan, landing on a blade and chasing the ever moving pointer as she hopped between the blades like a cartoon character.

"Bahahhaha! I-I'm gonna die of laughter!" Mika started wheezing as she and Naomi watched Akagi speed up the fan as she ran on it to catch the red dot that was just out of reach. “She's gonna be the death of me!”

"MEW! MEW! MEW!" Akagi meowed as she continued to leap between blades, desperately chasing the red dot.

“Keep going! You're almost there!” Naomi cheered out as Hishya and Kana side eyed each other before sighing.

“Go! Go! Go!” Yumi cheered, which caused further sighing from the two of them.

{This is my life now...} (Hishya x Kana)

"I'm... I'm putting this online!" Mika barely spoke as she activated her recording software. "Run, kitty, run!" She said while barely holding it together. “Get me more views!”

“MEW!” Akagi cried out again as she spead up, causing the fan blades to blurr.

"Onee-chan, you're going to break the fan if you do that." Kana commented as she watched Akagi jump between blades

"I'll just fix it, MEW!" Akagi said, breaking kitty character for a moment.

{Wast the mew needed there?} (Hishya)

"Hmmm..." Naomi thought for a moment before her lips curved into a nasty smile as her head filled with a terrible idea. "I wonder how this will work?" She said before slowly moving the pointer to the ground in front of Mika, which the Catkagi quickly followed with a thud as she smacked into the floor face first.

"Such a cute little kitty." Mika smiled as she pat the spazing out Cat. “You make the funniest faces, you know that?” She giggle as Akagi seemed to go feral over the laser.

“MEW! MEW! MEW!” Akagi mewed her heart out as she was unable to catch the fast moving dot.

"Now.... Go on and get her, kitty!" Naomi cackled as she snapped the laser pointer on to Mika's chest, resulting in Akagi diving the blue-haired girl and tackling her to the floor.

"No! Naomi you bitch!” Mika cursed her friend out as the floof came home to roost.”

“MEW!” Akagi meowed happily as she poked around Mika in a futile attempt to find the dot.

“No! No! Not the fluffy ears! They tickle! They tickle!" Mika began laughing hysterically as she assaulted by Akagi's fluff, the cat rubbing her ears and tail against her and causing Mika to laugh uncontrollably.

{I'M BEING KILLED BY FLOOF!} (Mika)

“I'm glad Akagi played along.” Naomi said as she watched Mika get fluffed to death.

"Okay, so that may actually be a little bit funny." Hishya snickered as Mika was subject to the horror that was Catkagi.

{Those ears are criminally fluffy and they tickle so much when she rubs them on you! Its just not fair! Those things are WMFs! Weapons of Mass Floof!} (Hishya)

"I just see it as Mika getting what she deserves." Kana nodded in agreement.

{She who insights the floof, shall one day fall victim to it.} (Kana)

“I wish it were me...” Yumi said quietly as she clicked her tongue.

"Hey kitty, do you want a better target?" Naomi asked as she turned off the pointer, causing Catkagi to sit up and look at her with tilted head.

{Oh thank god its over!} (Mika)

"Oh no..." Hishya got a bad feeling about what was going to happen next.

"Look, kitty! The dot's back!" Naomi said as she turned the pointer and activated it, placing a red dot on one of Hishya's fluffy pink socks. "Get it! Get the sock!"

{HA!} (Kana)

"No! Naomi you-" Hishya tried to protect herself, but Akagi was too quick having already chomped down on and removed the sock before she could react.

{I WILL MURDER YOU FOR CAUSING THIS, NAOMI!} (Hishya)

"You stupid Cat! Give me back my sock!" Hishya screamed as she began chasing Akagi around the room. "Naomi, the moment I get my sock back you'd better start running! Because when I get my hands on you, so help me God!”

“I'm sure the kitty will protect me!” Naomi said as she started to roll on the chair, laughing hysterically.

“Akagi! You'd better not destroy that sock! It was a birthday gift from Kana!” Hishya hissed as she chased Akagi into the hallway.

"My sock nyaow, MEW!" Akagi said with sock in mouth as she darted away, followed behind closely by an angry Dragon and the sounds of banging objects, broken glass and general destruction.

“Akagi!”

“MEW!”

"Okay, on one hand, that's stupid, but on the other..." Kana was struggling not to laugh as the two ran around the house. "Naomi, high-five."

<Halifax POV>

"Man, it sure is quiet without the troublemaker around." Halifax said as she sipped on some coffee. She was relaxing in a small garden created by a few of the more nature inclined Spirits and was relaxing during the down time after Akagi left

{Though all that quiet makes things boring. If Akagi's anything, she's entertaining at least.} (Halifax)

"Feeling lonely without your Demon Kitty Lord around?" Elariel said as she called out to her from behind. "That you of all people would get so attached to her..." She shook her head.

{Its concerning. I fear that this may eventually lead to-} (Elariel)

"I don't know, maybe its because at least with her I know where she stands, unlike some people." Halifax shot a glare at the Goddess as she took a seat in front of her. "Akagi's a lot of things, but unlike you Gods I feel like I can actually trust her words. At least she has no reason to go around behind people's backs and stab them there."
