"He's pure bred alright!"
I twitch my ears to the left and hear gruff loud voices behind me. My body gives a violent shiver as it reacts to the cold metal ground beneath me. Metal ground?
I think to myself. I know my back is turned to the people walking in and out, the fur in my ears picks up their vibrations that form into unfamiliar words to me. Stretching, my tail feels stiff and aches from movement. It fluffs up, making me seem bigger than I already am. I softly unhinge my jaw into a large yawn, meowing a little. I shouldn't have done that. I really shouldn't have...
"What about that one?"
I hear a tiny voice say. My yawn must've attracted them.
Idiot...
I knew who they were talking about. The word 'one' as it was said, was directed at me, I could sense it. I mew softly and curl up more into myself, trying to seem invisible with my big size.
"Ah! That one?" Another says. It sounded like a male. A human male.
I hear footsteps come near me as I still pretend to sleep, slowing down my breathing and lowering my shoulders to a good height. I give a fake shiver to give the appearance that I'm having a restless dream without over doing it.
"That one is special. Do you see its muscles?"
The male human says. I glance over through my tail, hovering it close to my eyes so they don't notice I'm awake, and peer through. I gasp and hiss quietly in anger when I see a small human girl. She had light blonde hair that was tied into a loose ponytail, deep hot pink eyes, spots that looked darker then her scattered all over her face, small sharp chin, thin eyebrows, faint pink lips, and a raspy voice. I studied her quickly, pinpointing and judging her.
By how she looked at me, she was intelligent, but as I studied closer, I saw she seemed when manipulative...
"He seems to be asleep right now my dear," the human male says.
I turn my emerald daggers to the human, studying him as well.
He was tall with balding brown hair, faint mustache, brown kind eyes, thin lips, bushy brown eyebrows, and a plump figure. As I looked at them, I noticed their heads.
Where are their ears?
I wonder in confusion. I watch the little delicate human girl stare at me. She knows I am watching.
She flashes a hideous smile my way, making me bear my fangs at her, showing a snarl. I hear her make a tiny noise of fear and follow the other bigger ones that were talking to each other in complete gibberish.
"Psst,"
My left ear twitches at a sharp hiss to the side of my metal prison.
"Psssst!"
I stay still and lash my tail from side to side; I twitch my ears more, trying to pinpoint where the sound is coming from.
"PsssssssssssSSSST!"
I snap my head to my right, looking at another cage that is next to me.
There...
I see a tiny white hand that had soft pink padding around the tips and palm.
"Oh, you're awake!"
A mew comes from the cage next to me.
Slowly I turn to see a small pale female neko looking at me with cloudy grey blue eyes, long silver hair and small ears. She looked tiny and vulnerable, I try my best to not look rabid.
She flashes me a quick smile and starts purring in her throat. It is loud and vibrates the air around her. I blush a little and turn my full attention to her.
"Hi," she says in a faint voice. She seemed shy and timid but I could see deep down she was bubbly and fierce, it was how all neko's were when meeting someone new.
"My name is Minni."
She mewed proudly.
I watch her long skinny arm slip past the rusted metal bars from her cage to mine, holding out her pink padded palm to me gently.
I blush at it,
What am I supposed to do?
Minni looks at me with a confused expression, I return it back to her by titling my head.
"A-aren't you going to shake it?" She asked frowning.
I stare at her delicate frail hand. It seemed that if I did shake it, I would snap it in an instant. After a while of waiting, I extend my own hand, three times bigger then hers. I grip it gently like it was the most fragile thing in the world, cupping it in my hand. I slowly shake it up and down.
I hear her laughter and smile at the sweet noise. It reminded me of jingle bells; I laugh a little too.
"You're funny."
Minni purrs up against my cage.
My ears flick forwards when I hear more footsteps.
Minni is still staring at me with her beautiful cloudy eyes, I can feel it.
The human male comes near us and shows his yellow teeth at me, more hideous than the little brat did earlier. I hear him say a few words in their human gibberish. He holds his stomach and gives a haughty laugh. It makes me cringe a little; I bear my fangs at him as he walks off, his brown blackish feet clopping on the ground.
What an odd one..
