• Ibuki. That's what it said on the nameplate and the tag. The address was also the same as on the tag. A two story medium sized house. It was yellowish with orangish shutters. It reminded me of the sunset. It had a small black gate that led to a small front yard and a stone walkway. The small stone walk way led to a orangeish door. I sighed, went past the gate, over the walkway and knocked on the door. There was a walking down some steps close to the door, and a woman who looked about in her mid-fourties, opened the door. She was a sweet looking woman with brown hair tied back in a low ponytail. "Yes?" she asked. "Um, is this your cat?" I asked, showing her Neechee. "Oh! Neechee! Yes, yes! Come in! Come in!" she said, opening the door for me. "Oh, but, you see, I have to get home." I tried to say. "Oh, I insist." she said, a kind smile on her lips. "Okay." I said, giving in. I came in. The stair case was next to a hallway that led to a living room at the end of it. "Yoichi! Amu! Come down!" she called. "Who?" I asked, than blushing, realizing my being so dang nosey. "Oh, my two children. Amu is my daughter, she's 6. Yoichi is my son, he is 16. Oh, about your age I'd think!" she said. "Yes, ma'am. I'm 16." I told her. "Yes! I'm right!" she teased. "Oh, you can wait in the living room." she said. I nodded and walked to the end of the hallway. The living room was spaciouse with a peachy looking couch, green rug on the peacy carpet. A glass table on the green rug. A flat screen t.v on the other side of the room from the couch. White walls and ceiling with a ficus next to the couch and windows with curtains making up the north wall. The wall next to the couch and t.v. I sat down on the couch and opened my arms so Neechee could jump off. He stayed on my lap, so I just petted him. There was some walking downstairs. "Wait is it mom? You know I want to be alone because of.....because of Neechee!" said a girl's voice. "Oh no, here come the water works." a boy's voice sighed. "Ooooo! But that's exactly what I'm here to tell you about! Neechee came back!" the woman exclaimed. "Neechee came back?!" the girl, who I knew was Amu, exclaimed. "Well not by herself of course. A nice young lady, your brother's age, found him and brought him here!" the lady explained. "Is she pretty? Is she pretty?" Amu asked. "I dare say so!" said their mother. With that, I heard footsteps coming toward the living room. "Neechee!" Amu exclamied. She had short pink hair and golden eyes. There was also a boy with dark hair and the ends were white color, he also had deep dark blue eyes. He was about a head taller than me. "Where did you find him?!" Amu asked, picking Neechee up from my lap. "About a block from an icecream shop." I said. "Eh? Really?" Amu asked, I wasn't sure if she was asking the cat or me. "Hey, thanks for bringing Neechee and all." Yoichi said. When his mother stopped nudgeing his in the shoulder, he winked at me. That made me blush a bit. "Um, I'm sorry, but I need to be home soon." I said, getting up. "Eh? Are you sure? We wouldn't want such a deed going unaknowlegded." the woman said. "Really, it's fine. I need to get home before my mom gets worried." I said. "Oh, at least tell us your name." Amu pleaded. "It's Sayomi." I said. "Well, Sayomi, thank you so much for bringing Neechee back, I hope we see eachother again." Th woman said. I nodded "So do I." I said, and left. Suddenly, when he was just behind me, inside, I saw Yoichi sitting beside the gate. While I was standing there, dumbfounded, he smiled at me "Hey." he said. "Y-yes?" I asked. He stood up and put his arm around my waist. "Hey!" I said, getting angry now. "Thanks for bringing back Neechee." he said, leaned down and kissed me on the lips!
