Cat-Boy Mayhem Chapter 7: Past of a Wild One

Duo still couldn't believe what had happened that night. He won the tournament by default. The one he faught was easily defeated. If only Trowa(1) hadn't made such a big deal, and exploded like he did! Then maybe the braded cat-boy wouldn't feel like he cheated to win the game.

However, that wasn't the only thing he was upset about. After receiving their award, they saw Trowa being carried by his owner, all bandaged up. Upon seeing him, Triton immediately begged his owner if they could visit him. Something that he saw in his original's eyes made him so desperately want to meet him. Quatre was surprised to say the least, but agreed she would take him to see Trowa tomorrow.

Tomorrow, as in today. A day that was very annoying, for everyone seemed to be calling Wufei all at once! And Duo thought being shocked was bad. Hearing the phone ring every five minutes was worse! It was annoying, and neither could control it.

It was when he heard a knock to the door did he think, /Thank god! / He then went to answer the door as Wufei was thanking another fan for calling. What confronted him when he opened the door was Lady Une, and her cat-man, Trieze.

"Um, welcome. Please come in," the braded cat-boy stated calmly, and moved to the side so they could enter. He knew who they were. He hadn't met them before, but he could tell they were people to be respected, especially with that large tazer the woman had. That and the aura around them just screamed, 'Annoy us, and die.'

The scary woman then cleared her throat to announce herself to Wufei that she was there. Upon seeing her boss, the Chinese girl immediately disclosed the call, and put her phone on instant message. She then bowed politely to her superior, and stated, "Welcome to my home. What brings you here, if I may ask?"

"No need to be polite young Wufei. I am here to congratulate you and your pet's victory at the contest. May we speak in private," Une asked, in her monotone voice. The Chinese girl nodded, and led her to her room. Leaving poor Duo in the presence of Trieze.

"That was a brilliant move," the taller of the two stated in a seductive tone.

"Thanks," was all he got in response.

"Not very talkative, are you?" For some reason, Trieze was moving in closer to Duo, and he did not like it. Giving him a warning look, he said, "I am, with people I'm comfortable with. Now do you mind backing off?"

"Why? Am I making you feel uncomfortable," he asked, his voice getting deeper. /God, this guy is asking for it.../

How he really wished he were somewhere else. Speaking of which, Triton and his owner Quatre went off to the old woman's home. It was a long walk, but thankfully, the door was answered right away when they knocked.

"Yes? May I help you," the old woman answered.

"Um, yes. My name is Quatre R. Winner, and I attended the tournament last night to cheer for a friend. You see, my pet, Triton, would really like to meet No-Name," the blonde explained.

"Come in," was her reply, and they were both led inside. Closing the door behind her, Quatre followed the older woman to the living room, and as she sat down, the woman said, "His name is Trowa now. I just legally changed it."

"Oh, I see. Well, is it all right if Triton speaks with, Trowa?" The woman nodded, and pointed to the room her pet stayed in. Carefully, Triton walked away from his owner, and headed to the door. Looking at both women, he waited for them to nod in approval, before going into the room.

"Whose there, leave me alone." That was the first thing Triton heard when he entered the room, and closed the door. His original seemed to be curled up in a corner. He looked so sad and miserable.

"Um...hi. My name's Triton," the smaller of the two started out. He didn't quite know what to say, but he figured saying who he was would be right.

"What? Triton," the other replied, and uncurled slighty in order to see who was in his room. Quickly, he then went upto him, and sniffed at his neck.

"You're that clone, whose a friend of Duo's? Right," he asked in confirmation. The other nodded, a bit surprised.

"Why are you here," Trowa asked, somewhat confused.

"I...I wanted to know what you were like," was the answer he received.

"What's to know? I used to be wild, but was taken away from my family, who were killed. Now I live only to fight, but even that's been taken away from me." Triton couldn't believe what he was hearing, how could he say all of that as if it was nothing?

"Was it always like this? Were you always this miserable?" The other glared at him slightly, but turned his head away, as he felt tears trying to escape his eyes. The last thing he needed was for someone he didn't even know to see him crying. But it couldn't be helped, and before he knew it, he was being held by this stranger.

"It's okay. It's okay to cry," he heard Triton say to him softly. Giving into his kind words, Trowa sobbed.

"Um, do you know why your pet yelled like that in the tournament," Quatre asked after a lot of silence. It was then they heard sobbing coming from that room, and this caused the blonde to get up quickly.

"No. Leave them alone," the older woman instructed. Doing so, the blonde listened as she explained Trowa's past.

"It was fourteen years ago when I found him, and killed his family. But when I captured him, I guess the event was so horrendous his mind erased it from his memory. So he was very confused, and emotionally blank. It wasn't until I entered him into the tournament for the first time, when he was six, did he receive his memories, and tried to kill me numerous times. He was the first to wear that green collar, and hopefully the only one that'll need it."

"After a short while, he knew better than to try and kill me, but got to me in other ways. By destroying my house when I left for work. But then, one day, he stopped trying to get to me, and seemed to be more fierce when he fought in the tournament. When he turned ten, he won for the first time. He appeared to be tamed when at home or around me, but whenever a certain person would walk by, his eyes would reveal so much hatred, he looked like a completely different cat-boy. All this time, I never knew who the person was, until yesterday."

"Why do you think he hates her so much," Quatre asked.

"Her family is one that made the rules. The rules I have to obey, which are to kill any cat-girls or cat-men that are much too old to be pets. Trowa by now, has realized, that I don't like my job, but someone has to do it, and I'm the best at it. His other reasons for hating that girl should be obvious. She uses cat-boys like toys."

"You're right, but I guess only Trowa had the guts to say what everyone has wanted to say. Do you think she'll have you kill him? In order to save her reputation," the blonde girl asked.

"No, because he is just one cat-boy. She'll just have him no longer fight, which is why now, he feels useless. All he's ever done is fight, and he doesn't know much else," the old woman replied.

After another bit of silence, Triton exited the room, and answered his owner's questioning look with, "He's asleep now."

"I guess you two better get going. No need for you to sit around and listen to an old lady." Nodding, Quatre and Triton were just out the door, when she stopped to ask, "What is your name?"

"Mary. Mary Nunez(2)," was her answer. The both of them then said bye, and left the old woman to sit on her couch.

When the blonde girl and her cat-boy arrived at their apartment level, she decided to visit Wufei. But she bumped into another blonde girl along the way.

"Oh I'm sorry! Are you okay," Quatre asked first.

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm sorry for not paying attention to where I was going," the girl replied, laughing nervously. Her blonde hair was a slight shade darker than Quatre's, and she appeared to be younger and shorter.

"My name is Midi Une. I just moved in," she said introducing herself.

"Oh, hi. My name is Quatre R. Winner. I've been a residence here for more than a year now," the lighter blonde responded. The shorter of the two then looked at Triton and stated, "Is this your cat-boy? He's beautiful."

"Yes, his name is Triton." Smiling, the Arabian girl looked off to the side to see Lady Une leave Wufei's apartment, and carrying a knocked out Trieze(3). Her own cat-boy shuddered when they walked by. It was then Quatre realized she had missed what Midi had just said.

"Could you repeat, please? I was a bit distracted."

"I was asking you if it was all right if I got a cat-boy that looked identical to yours," Midi repeated. She wasn't really copying, for she had wanted a cat-boy like Triton for the longest time now. It was just recently she was able to afford one.

"No, I don't mind. You don't need to ask my permission to do so." Both girls then smiled, and parted ways. One to the elevator to purchase a cat-boy, the other to her friends apartment.

"Welcome, please come in," was their greeting as Duo grudgidly walked from the door back to the couch. His hair seemed a bit puffed up, and he looked irritable.

"Uh...I'm guessing Trieze and Duo didn't get along," Quatre asked laughing nervously.

"No, Duo over here hit him," Wufei said practically yelling.

"He was starting to grope me! He asked for it!!" Both then continued to glare at one another, and caused their guests to laugh.

This was not the case back at Mary's house. She was breathing rather slowly, and seemed to be having a difficult time in doing so. Feeling her left arm, she smiled sadly. Knowing the inevitable was going to happen soon. She was going to die.

"Trowa, get out here. I have to tell you something," she commanded, and waited for her cat-boy to obey. Once he was at her side, she gently scratched behind his ear. He didn't purr, but he leaned into her hand.

"I'm going to die soon, and when I do, I'll give you to that girl that came today," the old woman stated, surprising her pet hugely. But what surprised them both was the fact that Trowa was now embracing his owner, and crying softly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~

Feel sorry for Trowa yet? If not, then how can you be so cruel!?! Just kidding.

(1) I'm no longer going to call him No-Name, from now on, it's Trowa! *laughs like a mad scientist*

(2) Yeah, I just now came up with her name. How sad, she's been known as the old lady ever since the beginning. Now her name is Mary. You finally know her name, only for her to say she's going to die. I'm mean aren't I?

(3) Here is why he's knocked out:

Trieze: *deepens his voice* Why? Am I making you uncomfortable? *moves in closer*

Duo: I said back off... *has one of his hands in a fist*

Trieze: Surely you don't mean it....*puts a hand on Duo's thigh near the groin area*

Duo: BACK OFF!!! *punchs him, thus knocking him out*

Trieze: @.@ *flies through the air, anime style*

*Wufei and Lady Une then come out to see what's going on.*

Wufei: *gasps* DUO! *presses the button on her watch, hard*

Duo: O.O *shocked big time, and in the end is like this* >.< *mad*
