“Uwah, Kuro-chan, they’re so cute!” Fai squealed as they peered around in the pet store. The four (five, including Mokona) travelers had landed in a strange world in which everyone had an animal companion, and had thus set out to find some pets of their own.

The blond was staring at five kittens snoozing in a basket lined with soft blankets and fluff. “I want that one!” He decided, pointing his finger at the fluffy white one with blue eyes.

The shopkeeper hurried over. “Are you sure sir? That one’s the weakest one of the litter, and his siblings are all up for sale too.”

“Of course I’m sure,” Fai smiled at the smaller man. “He’s a fighter, I can tell.”

“Alright then,” the shopkeeper carefully scooped up the kitten and settled him into a carrier, which he handed to Fai. “Will you be wanting supplies and the like for him?” Fai nodded.

Once everything had been assembled, the portly man turned to Kurogane. “How about you sir, what can I get for you?”

“I want him,” Kurogane gestured at a medium sized black dog in the corner of the shop. “He looks intimidating.”

“She,” the shopkeeper corrected. “And I’m afraid she’s not for sale. She’s one of the best queens we have here. Would you be interested in one of her puppies?” A

fter grunting in consent and casting a quick eye over the black bundles, Kurogane picked out the biggest one. “I’ll take him, I guess.”

“Good, good.” Once Kurogane was settled, the attention was turned to Syaoran and Sakura.

“Um, these two birds just kind of … flew to us,” Syaoran explained, the birds in question chirping happily.

“Lovebirds!” The shopkeeper cried. “Excellent!” He went about gathering things for the two children without waiting for their consent.

“Did he say … lovebirds?” Sakura squeaked, blushing.

“SYAORAN AND SAKURA SITTING IN A TREE, K-I-S-” Mokona was interrupted by the owner as he approached them again.

“Is that all?” He asked. When the group nodded, he bid them farewell. “Goodbye and good luck! If you ever leave, or can’t take care of them for whatever reason, I’ll gladly take them back!”

Later, in their new house, the group witnessed the two lovebirds cooing and preening and well, being in love, while the much larger puppy was repeatedly harassed by the kitty.

“Look Kuro-puppy! They’ve fallen asleep together!” Fai was delighted. Indeed, the white kitten was now sprawled on the black puppy and they both slept. “It’s puppy love!”
