Seph's POV
Mil punches me out of nowhere. "What was that for?!" I complain.

"The viewers understand." He says sort of pissed.
"H-hello... Kittan." I approach her slowly, but she doesn't flinch to me approaching. When I'm within arm's length of her I introduce myself "Hello, I'm Seph."

"I'm kittan!"

"Yeah... You said so..." I chuckle nervously. I look back at everyone and they shrug at me.

"Step aside novice!" Mil pushes me aside. "Hello lady." He puts the most charming face he can muster up. Frankly he looks like a donkey to me. "Why don't you talk to a real man?"

Kittan giggles and Mil feels like he made an achievement. "Teehee... Your face is funny looking." She says mercilessly and we all stare at Mil with jaws dropped.

"You guys deal with her!" Mil runs by us with his arm covering both his eyes and a stream of tears flowing down. "She's to vicious!"

Dion is pushed at her. "Uh... Wait... I..." Kittan is a breath away from him. "Uh... Hi..."

She giggles again. "You're kind of short."

"Another one bites the dust..." Garil says patting Mil and Dion on the back.
I decide to step up to the challenge. "Kittan was your name, right?"

She nods. "Mhm!"

"So what are you doing here?" I ask the cat girl.

Her stomach grumbles and she leaves a nervous sigh. "I'm hungry." Her quirky expression turns sad. "My belly hurts."

"That's easy! We can whip something up for you." I assure her and her face lights up and a big smile is drawn on her face that warms me up inside.

"Thank you, mister!" She hugs me and I can feel all the guys eyes staring at me with hate. My nervous laugh indicates how unsure I am about how to react.

"P-please... Just call me Seph..."

In a bit a wild boar is laid down on the table. "That was fast." Garil says to us who hunted the boar.

"It was easy." I tell him "We used Mil as bait to lure them towards us."

Garil looks around. "Where's Mil?" Moments later he is carried in on a gurney by Dion and Raph.

"He uhh... Got hit in the manhood by her."

Garil nods. "Ah... That explains it... Well you can leave the rest to me!" Garil was the cook in the group. He flipped that boar and minced it faster than he shoots. It's a wonder why he didn't become a swordsman. That kind of skill with a knife is intimidating. After a while of preparing and Kittan staring at him with shiny eyes and a mouth full of drool it's finally done.

It looks delicious! I honestly couldn't wait to sink my teeth into the meat along with some stirfried vegetables.

We all reach into the plates and Garil smacks our fingers with the burning hot spatula.

"Ow!" We jerk our hand back.

"Guests first." He keeps the smiling at Kittan and says that under his breath. "Have some manners. Here." He hands Kittan a plate.

Kittan has a smile on her face as she gobbles down her meal. It was obvious she was famished. "Alright, here guys." Garil lets us take our plates and we gobble it down just like Kittan.

"Ahhh!" Kittan lies back with a satisfied face. "It was good!" She still had some of the red sauce on her cheek.

Garil laughs and hands her a napkin. "Thanks."

"Thanks you mister, for the food!" She thanks him in the most honest way she could.

"No worries. Call me Garil."

"Okay, Garil."

Garil asks. "Now that you're not hungry... Where are you from, Kittan?"

"I... Don't know..." She looks down on the floor.

"You don't have a home?" He asks concerned.

"I do...! But... I don't know how to go back... And I have nowhere to stay." Kittan's face begins to get teary eyed.

Garil looks at us and looks back at her eyes beginning to water. "You can stay with us if you want."

"Really?!" Kittan says in disbelief. "You'd let me stay here?"

"Well you kind of just walked in..." Dion says still hurting from the earlier blow to his self-esteem.

"We have enough space here for you." Garil keeps his nice smile while he shoots a sleeping dart from miniature bowgun at Dion.

"I see cats..." Dion says as he drops down with a thump.

"Oh look. Dion has fallen." Garil says acting as if he didn't just cause that.

"There's even a spare room for you. One just opened up. It's second door to the left past the hallway." He points last the open living room to a hallway.
I laugh and lean over to Raph "Ha-ha, that's Dion's room."

"We have the extra room at the end of the hallway, but it's half the size. We can stick him there." Raph suggests. Funny thing is that, that's exactly what we did.

"So... What are you good at? You need to carry your weight somehow." Garil explains to her.

"You mean a job?" Kittan asks. Garil nods. "Oh well... I'm a little good at..." She jumps high in the air and makes two thin blades come out from behind her. She lands in a fighting stance. "Hunting."

"Who would have guessed?" Garil says nodding his head as if saying "not bad".

I'm just standing wondering where she was hiding that. So now that that's out of the way I lean in for the question on everyone's mind. "What's up with those cat ears?"

"Hmm?" She looks confused. "These?" She pokes at her ears on her head.

"Yeah."

"I was born with these." She says.

"What?! They're real?" Even Garil seems surprised. "The tail too?"

"Yep!" She winks at us. "You've never seen a feline girl?"

All of us shake our heads. "Is this normal here?" Raph asks.

"Anything is possible in a land with cat girls." Mil says with stars in his eyes. And that concluded it. Our new addition to the team was truly part cat.

A/N
There was the update about our new feline addition to the team, kittan. What else is there to know about Kittan? Is she just an innocent lost cat girl or is there more to her? I won't tell. You'll have to figure out later. And if you didn't notice, Mil punches Seph for the MH 101 about the Soulstones as he mentioned he'd do in MH 101 part 1. Sorry I took so long. I forgot to publish. It was ready since the last MH 101 update. You guys need to remind me! Hope you liked MY character design for Kittan, I kinda screwed up on the color, but screw it. XD THANKS FOR READING BYE!
