Ronin's Pov

The sun shone brightly through the curtains that had roughly thrown closed before. Guess that'll teach me to have more patience.

*motor like sound* I was startled a little before remembering that I had two kids next to me. Specifically, two cat children. After a couple minutes of getting out of bed without waking them I head out of the room and to the second master bathroom with a different set of clothes.

The warm water softly pelted my bare back as I washed out the grease and sweat from my hair. I sat down in the square tub I was in and thought about what I should do. I didnt want to put them into the foster system since it's near useless. And considering their Nekos? Forget about it.

That left two options. Put them up for adoption, or take care of them. Both were bad. I put them for adoption, they get abused in the adoption center and get tossed out at 18 with nothing. I take care of them. But I'm only 15! I can't raise two children on my own. This is basically the wild card. I take care of them and they turn out terribly and hate me, or they turn out as great, and functioning members of society.

*knock knock knock* I hadn't noticed I was out of the shower with my clothes on by this point. Guess I went into autopilot for that.

*knock knock knock* I guess they woke up. I opened the door and as I expected, they were there. But they were shaking for some reason.

Me: Are you guys ok?

Neko child 1: *inaudible mumbling*

Me: I'm sorry, what did you say?
I crouched down so I could hear them better.

Neko child 2: Please, dont send us away.

I had failed to notice that they were crying up until this point. It was terrible. I scooped them up into a hug.

Me: For as long as you guys let me I will take care of you.

I whispered into their ears. I could little tugs in my heart. The strings that were cut before were being rebuilt. I sat there, with them in my arms for a bit of time before I heard a rumbling.

Me: You guys wanna eat?

They blushed an adorable scarlet red and looked down before nodding.

Me: Ok, I'll make somethin. Do you wanna shower as well?

They nodded again and so I taught them how to use the bath. They learnt pretty easily. I got them clothes from my room and left them in bathroom to take a shower. I got downstairs and pondered about what to make.

Me: They probably like meat, and I like pancakes. I haven't made these for a long time. Let's see if I still got it down.

I grabbed flour, eggs, milk, baking soda, salt, sugar, strawberries, and some butter.

Me: Time to work.

Many dropped eggs and oil burns later

While it took some time to get the into the full swing of things, I got some pancakes done. I made more bacon pancakes than I did strawberry ones but I can always make more.

I turned around to put the plates on the table when I saw them there. They were sitting and giggling at something. At least they aren't crying.

I smiled: Hope you guys like it.

They burst out laughing and seemed to barely be able to point at my hair, before collapsing in a fit of laughter and giggling. I ran my hand through my hair and hit something that felt viscous. I brought my hand down to my face and saw that I had some strawberry pancake batter in my hair. . . . Wait.

I ran to the nearest mirror and gasped in shock. My hair was now a tinted pink. God dam it. Now, dont get me wrong, pink is a good colour, one of my favourites even. But pink on an emo is not good.

I sighed: How am I gonna wash this out?

I walked back to the table and saw that they hadn't even touched the pancakes yet. They werent even laughing.

I was confused: Are you not hungry?

Neko child 2: These are for us?

She seemed suprised.

Me: Yeah, have at it.

Their faces immediately brightened and they dug in. I grabbed myself my plate from near the stove and sat opposite of them. It had gone cold in the time being but that's because I had less than I put for them. I did this because I wasn't too hungry but they noticed this and didnt seem happy about it.

Neko child 1: Why do you have less?

Neko child 2: Yeah, that's unfair.

Me: Its ok, I wasn't too hungry.

They werent satisfied by that answer.

Neko child 1: No, you should have more.

They got up and moved to the same side of the table.

Neko child 2: Here.

She tried to put one of hers onto my plate before I stopped her.

Me: Its ok, really. I made these for you guys, not for you to give me.

Neko child 1: But-

I turned to her and smiled: I'm fine really, now eat before they get cold.

They seemed satisfied by this answer and began to eat again. They are . . . interesting to say the least. They act so respectful even when they shouldn't be. It's odd.

We finished eating and I got up to wash the dishes before they blocked my hands.

Neko child 1: We'll wash them.

Me: No, it's fine, I'll do it.

I tried to take the plates again but they grabbed my hand.

Neko child 2: No, we insist.

Me: You guys can't even reach the sink though?

Realization dawned on them and they blushed again. Adorable.

Me: Cmon, hand me your plates.

They put their plates in my hand and I started washing them as they still sat on their chairs.

Me: Do you wanna go shopping today for clothes?

They thought for a little before responding.

Neko child 2: Are you willing to?

Me: I wouldn't be asking now would I? Cmon let's go. Maybe later we can go around the neighborhood.

They nodded and got out of their seats. I walked them to the front door and we got in the car.

I turned on the radio and started driving towards the shopping center.
