pet sitting pt 1
It was so hot outside, so I was glad I wore shorts, school is out and I was already job hunting! Well.. I used the internet this time but! What could be easier than pet sitting? A few animals is no biggie, but first I had to be interviewed by the owner... Which is kinda why I'm nervous. All I know is that if he approves of me, I'm gonna be paid lots of money, and I pretty much live in his home from what he told me over the phone...
I entered the cafe where we were supposed to meet and looked around, and spotted him to the left sitting at a booth reading the news paper. He had short brown hair, black framed glasses and a business suit on. The usual looking guy I guess... I walked closer and glanced at my phone one more time to make sure it was him, since he sent me a picture of him so I would know who I was looking for. "Mr. Kimura?" I asked, tilting my head a bit to get a better look at his face as he glanced up at me from the paper.
"Are you Tamashi Midori?" He replied, so I nodded and he put his news paper down and smiled. "Sit, sit." He said, "I though you'd be older."
I sat down and blinked, confused, "how old should I be?" I asked, wondering just how old he thought I was.
"You're old enough." He said, "16 right? As long as you're capable of handling a few pets of mine."
I nodded, "of course, I have quite a few of my own really." I said, trying to relax, but my body remained tense.
"Good, because that means you have some experience with pets..." He thought for a moment, "but my pets are special." He seemed to be holding something back. "You'll see when you get to my place. You're welcome to stay there as long as you want. Just don't make too much of a mess and be sure my boys are well taken care of." He then stood, handing me a piece of paper and a key. "There's money laying around everywhere, help yourself if you get hungry."
I stood too, taking the paper and not taking my eyes off of him. "Anything else?" I asked, "what are your pets' names?"
Kimura laughed a bit, "you'll see, they have tags." He said then picked up the paper. "I have a plane to catch so I'll be gone for a few months, I'll be sure to send checks to your address weekly." He then walked passed me and towards the exit.
I stood there and looked at the address, smiling a bit. "This will be easy." I could already feel excited, then wondered how much he was paying me... Oh well, I shouldn't keep his "boys" waiting...
I left the cafe, looking over at my reflection smiling to myself. My short curly black hair bouncing with my joyful movements and bright green eyes full of excitement. First job ever, and the man who hired her was nice, so I didn't expect to be fired at all. Besides, he wouldn't even be home at all for a long time, so that would give me the chance to clean up anything that I messed up on.
My thoughts stopped once I arrived that the given address and I stopped, and gawked at the place. Suddenly, I couldn't feel the ache in my legs from the long walk away from civilization, and now I could feel a smile spread across my face because this place was HUGE!
I nearly ran to the door pulled the key out of my pocket and unlocked the door and walked inside looking around. The floor was tile, and straight ahead was what I guessed was the living room with it's large TV, soft looking black couches, and a glass coffee table.
To the right of me was a wall but then a small opening was the bar that faced the large island kitchen. To the left was a hall way to several other rooms. I walked towards the living room, green eyes examining the curtains that covered the large glass doors on the wall to the left of the wall where the TV was set. Then the the Right was a stair case. Under the stair case was another hallway and I assumed were more rooms.
"This is crazy big." I whispered, compared to my house... Apartment.. I then realized why I was there and I began to look around for the pets. I was curious to know what kinds this guy had. He had a huge house, I was sure that his "special" pets were one of kind.
I searched the living room then looked over at the stairs and walked towards them. I put my hand on the glossy dark brown railing and walking slowly up the stairs, wondering now if I was dreaming. I felt like a doll inside this huge mansion, but it was empty so I knew I would feel lonely here after a while.
Once to the top, I looked around the den that was like a balcony over the first floor, seeing a few computers, and the two hallways on both sides. I chose the right and opened a door, peeking inside seeing that it was a room. But it wasn't empty, it was a messy room with a used bed and a lot of clothes and toys on the floor. I blinked, confused once more but the guy said nothing about any guests so I just entered and looked around. " umm.. Here kitty kitty?" I said softly and got down on the floor and peeked under the bed. My eyes grew wide, and quickly sat up, frowning. "That was..."
"What are you doing in my room?"
I jumped and fell to the side and looked back at the door, I don't think my eyes could get any wider. "W-W-Who are you!?!?" I then examined the guy further, first off noticing the fact the he only had a towel around his waist so I quickly looked away. "Why are you naked!?"
The guy crossed his arms, "I'm not naked." He said simply, "and why don't you answer my question first since you're in my room after all. And also you're in my house."
I stood up, still not looking at him. "I'm the pet sitter!" I could feel my face grow hotter than ever. "Kimura said nothing about guests." I refused to turn to face the guy, I didn't even look at his face. Oh god this was embarrassing!!
"Oh!" The guy laughed and walked passed my and opened his closet. "Master told us about a sitter, but I didn't know she would be so young." He pulled out some clothes and turned to look at me. "And so cute~" He winked and I quickly turned again,
"What?" I was so confused. "Who are you? And what are you talking about?" I was trying to ignore what he had said about me.
"I'm Kage, and what I'm talking about is.." He approached and leaned forward so his mouth was by my ear. "I think you're cute." He whispered and I quickly jumped away, turned and pointed.
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN!!" I quickly tried to calm down. "I meant why did you say master, and why are you-" I stopped when I stared at him. He had wet light gray colored hair with dark gray tips with a hint of dark brown. My eyes then followed the grayish brown tips on the top of his head now knowing that they were cat ears. "You're..."
"I'm Master's pet." He said, he laughed a bit. "He didn't tell you?" He asked, then pocked my nose, "You're all red, how cute." He teased.
I flinched when he poked me, meet my green gaze with his icy blue gaze, "no he didn't." I said, mind blank for a moment, then it just filled with the fact that there was a cat boy standing in front of me. I then stepped closer and tip toed my way up so I could touch them... Those ears, then pulled. "They're real!"
Kage quickly pulled away and rubbed the ear I pulled, "of course they are!" He growled, "why would I walk around with fake ones." He scoffed then shook his head, "now if you don't want to see me naked then I suggest you leave my room."
I blinked then quickly nodded and left the room, shutting the door behind me quickly. "What the hell." I said, my body was pressed against the door, I was surprised that I was even capable of moving at a time like this. All my life.. I didn't even know that such people existed...
My thoughts were once again interrupted by a gasp to my left then a deep growl. I slowly looked over, seeing yet again another person but this time they didn't look so happy about my being there. "ummm..." I said then flinched a bit as the person took a step closer.
"You better get out of here." He growled and I quickly began to run as he charged at me.
"P-P-Please don't hurt me!!" I screamed as I ran down the hall, what the hell was up with this place!?!? Whatever, I was mainly worried about the heavy steps that were growing closer and closer behind me.I looked behind to see that the person was only a few feet from me so I looked ahead again only to force my feet to stop moving and put my hands in front of me to try and avoid contact between my face the wall. But before my hands even we in contact with the wall, they met the floor first as the person had collided with me and I thought I was dead until I couldn't breathe.
"Who are you?!" The person demanded from over me, grabbing my shoulder and turning me over on my back.
I quickly put my hands over my face, "I'm.. I'm the pet sitter." I whispered, and felt the person sit up.
"Oh." He said, then grabbed my arms, pushing them down to the floor by my head. "Why didn't you say so?" He asked, smiling widely.
I opened my eyes, and they widened again for the hundredth time today and tried to get up but he was too heavy. "Can you get off me please?" I asked, seeing that he was as well part animal. Only he wasn't a cat, he was a black haired guy with perked black dog ears and honey colored, innocent eyes looking eyes.
He quickly got up and held his hand out, and I took it. "My name is Junichi, but you can call me jun." He said, pulling me to my feet. "What's your name? Can we go play?"
I let go of his hand once to my feet and dusted myself off, wondering why I didn't have a broken limb. "I'm Tamashi Midori" I replied, rubbing my shoulder then looked past Jun to see that Kage was watching, completely dressed now, a wide smile on his face and chuckling at what had just happened. "I can't play right now, you hurt my shoulder."
Jun's eyes dropped to the floor and his ears flattened, "I'm sorry.. I won't do it again, it's just I didn't know that there would be stranger in the house..."
I looked at him, amazed by how all of a sudden he went from scary as hell, to innocent and playful, to sad and disappointed. "It's okay, maybe later?" I said, then smiled a bit as he looked up completely happy again.
"Really?" He asked, "cool!" He then looked back at Kage, "I think she likes me more than you!" He snickered and Kage simply scoffed.
"Whatever!" He said then his then looked at me. "I don't even know why we need a sitter anyway." He then turned and walked off down the hall, and Jun followed.
"Are you going to watch TV?" He asked, and Kage nodded. Jun then looked back at me, waving his hand beckoning me to follow so I did.
"How old are you two?" I asked, and they both shrugged. I sighed, from the looks of it, they looked like they were 18 or something, they looked older! And yet they were pets... I guess Kimura was right about them being "special".
