My Pawfect Rebirth

110: Up to You

"Hm? This cat... why does it look so familiar to me?"

"Hmph. Well since my work here's done, I better get going." Iris said, as she picked up the cat and handed it to the greenette. 

"Eh? Why're you giving me this cat?" 

"Oh please, you and I both know you can't leave a stray cat all alone. Just look how dirty and helpless it is~" Iris pouted as the cat did the same. 

"I-I can't take a cat, Kacchan would get mad at me!" 

"Then just let this poor little cat starve and die here on the streets. Can't you even see how dirty and helpless it looks?" Iris said. 

"Erm- No! I can't-" 

"But they need a home, and I'm sure that dog will look past a simple little cat like this~ right?" 

"I-I-"

"I really need to get back inside just so Kacchan doesn't act suspicious." 

"Oh dear, look at the time, I need to leave!" Iris said. 

'Crap, what do I do?' 

"Good luck, and make sure that cat's taken care of. Knowing you, this should be a walk in the park!" Iris said, as she shoved the cat at the greenette to grab hold of the little animal and she suddenly disappeared. 

"No wait- come back!" 

'What now, I can't take care of this cat, especially with Kacchan. Hm?' 

She looked down at the cat and looked closer at its eyes; one eye was Blue and the other was Brown. 

'Huh? It looks... just like Todoroki now that I think about it.' she thought. As she was in deep thought, the cat meowed at her and started licking her face sweetly. 

"Ah- hey that tickles!"

"Yah- Deku, what's taking so-" 

Katsuki turned his head as he left the shop and froze to see the greenette as she was holding a cat that was licking her face. 

"What the-" 

"Oh Kacchan, look, I found this cat. Isn't it cute?" Izumi said, holding up the cat to the blond. 

The blond looked at the cat who just made a simple and blank expression. 

"Why the hell are you holding a cat?" 

"I found him while I was out here with Lily, I think we should take him with us." Izumi said. 

"Y-Yah! I'm the only pet you need, stupid!" he barked.

"Kacchan, don't be rude. This cat looks helpless and might not have a home. We should at least care of it for a few days." Izumi said. 

"No! It'll just get in the way, and we already have a lot to deal with! Besides, I don't like cats." Katsuki pouted. 

"Kacchan don't say that, I remember when we were kids and how you would always want to pet a cat anytime they got near you." 

"Erk- No I didn't." 

"Well since I'm still your owner, then I have every right to say we'll take in this cat." Izumi said, as she petted the cat's fur. 

"Wha- that's not fair, you're not even listening to me!" he yelled.

"I don't need to listen to my dog on this one, and I think this cat is really sweet." Izumi said as the cat purred and rubbed his fur in the nape of her neck.
