Emi walked down the sidewalk until she arrived at her destination. It was the pet store. She pushed the door open, and was met with a short elderly woman.
"Hello, dear. What can I help you with?" "Hi, yes, I'm looking for a cat." "A cat, you say? Well, come right this way then."

The two women walked through the store, looking through the selection of felines. Emi stopped once she spotted two kittens playing with each other. One was a ginger cat with blue eyes, while the other kitten was completely white with amber eyes.
"Ah, those two. They are indeed inseparable." Emi looked at the elderly woman.
"Both are the last of litters. Poor things. Their mothers had to be put down before they could be sold. Now, they are inseparable. They're practically brothers."
Emi couldn't help but feel her heart ache at the sound of these kittens' story. She looked at them, and couldn't help but think of her two adopted children, Eri and Shinsou. They were both from different families, but treated one another like brother sister regardless.

"I'll take these two."

Aizawa sat in the living room, sleeping in his sleeping bag while his toddler son, Hanzo, played with his toys. "Mommy's home!", cheered Eri, running to the front door. Shinsou opened it, revealing that indeed Emi was their. But there was something in her hand. It seemed to be a cage.
"What's that?" "You'll see." Emi placed the cage on the table and opened it. Out walked two kittens.

"Kitties!", exclaimed Eri, picking up the white one and hugging him. Hanzo walked over to Eri, petting the kitten in her arms.
"Where's daddy?", asked Emi. Hanzo pointed to the living room. "You want to surprise him?" The two little kids nodded.
The family entered the living room, where a sleeping Aizawa was. Shinsou carefully lifted up the cap of the sleeping bag, giving Emi the opportunity to slip the two kittens in. The feeling of something on top of his head awoke the underground hero, and he looked over to his wife and kids. "What's happening right now?"
A tail swung in front of Aizawa's face, and he reached up to his head to feel two balls of fur there.
He picked them up with his hands to see two kittens.
"I bought them", said Emi. Her husband looked at her. "Have I ever told you how much I love you?"
Shinsou interrupted the moment.

"Okay, before you two get all lovey dovey, do these two cats have names?" "Not really, no. Any suggestions?"
Eri walked forward. "We'll call this one Milky", she said, pointing to the white kitten. Then she pointed at the ginger one. "And this one is Cookie!"
Aizawa smiled and looked down at his... sorry, their new pets.
"Welcome to the family, Cookie and Milky."
