Cat-Boy Mayhem Chapter 8: Death of Triton

Ever since that first meeting with Trowa, Triton felt it was his obligation to visit him, and make him feel like he wasn't alone. So he and Quatre would visit Mary's home as often as they could. Then everytime they went home, they'd always seem to bump into Midi. She had purchased her cat-boy, but would have to wait a few days before getting him. The darker blonde was thankful though, because she hadn't come up with a name to give him yet.

Today, they had to leave Mary's home early, for she had to go to work. Something about two new wild cat-boys. So on their long walk home, the Arabian girl asked, "What did you talk about today Triton?"

"Fighting techniques," he answered, smiling sweetly. They had all ready discussed how they felt about their owners, Triton's friends, and more about Trowa's past.

"Where are we going?" Looking at her cat-boy, Quatre smiled, and answered, "To the same place we always go after visiting Mary and Trowa. To Wufei's."

"Quatre! Quatre," someone yelled from behind them. Turning around, the blonde found it to be Wufei's little sister, and her cat-boy.

"Meilan! How are you," she said, stopping so the girl could catch up.

"I'm fine. You," the Chinese girl asked back. She seemed to be carrying a present in her arms. So out of curiousity, Quatre asked, "Is that for Midi? To welcome her?"

"Uh...yeah," Meilan answered, laughing nervously. As their owners conversed, Solo whispered to Triton, "What have you been upto?"

"Oh, visiting Trowa, my original," the other cat-boy replied. He was happy to see his friend, but wondered why his answer had suddenly brought a frown to the other's face. About to ask, he stopped himself, as they heard sirens and screams heading in their direction.

All four looked to where the sounds were coming from, and found several people to be chasing a pair of cat-boys. They were very muscular, and had large manes of black hair.

"RUN!!! GET OUT OF THEIR WAY!! HURRY," they suddenly heard Mary yell.

Meanwhile, in Wufei's apartment. She had been given the whole week off, and seemed to be very nervous about something. Having been staring at her for the past hour or two, Duo tried to figure out what had her on edge. Then he realized, the conversation she had with Lady Une!

"What did you and her talk about," he asked bluntly, interrupting her reverie.

"Huh? Who," Wufei asked, trying to regain her thoughts.

"You know who I mean. What did you two talk about yesterday while that creepy cat was groping me," the braded cat-boy asked again.

"You wouldn't understand, even if I told you," she responded, glaring slighty at him. Getting a little frustrated himself, he stated, "Try me."

"No," the Chinese girl refused. She then found herself staring into piercing violet eyes. He was determined to know what was wrong. He gripped her arms firmly, but softly said, "Tell me."

"She proposed to me," was the answer he received.

"Oh okay. See? That wasn't that hard," Duo the said, letting her go, and sitting back on the couch. Surprised by his reaction to say the least, Wufei asked, "Do you realize what that means?"

"Nope." Sighing, and shaking her head, she then explained, "It means she wants me to marry her. We'll be legally bonded."

Finding none of this to phase him, she stated, "Mates for life."

"What?!? But-Why-How can you have kids," Duo finally asked, now knowing why she was so upset.

"Simple, we'll just clone ourselves, like our mothers before us. That's how we're all created. Only I'd have to name my child six wings, instead of five, for she'll be the sixth version," Wufei explained, to a shocked Duo.

"So, does everyone do this? Mate with other females?" Upon seeing her nod, he then asked, "What about their cat-boys?"

"They get to bond with their mates cat-boys." /You mean...I'd have to get used to Trieze!?! And actually....!! Hell no!!! /

"No! Say no! How can you even think of marrying that scary ass woman, and have me live with that freak of a cat-boy!"

"She's my boss, and would provide me with a lot financially, that's why! Besides, it's not like I have much choice. I can't choose between my friends, and that new girl is all ready going to be asked by my little sister!"

"So? There are plenty of other women out there, and why not just stay single? I'm pretty sure I--" Duo was then cut off by a knock on the door. /Who ever just knocked, thank you! You just saved me from admitting something I don't want to, / he then thought to himself, realizing what he was about to say to his owner.

Answering the door, and ready to yell at the person who knocked, Wufei was stunned to see a panting Heero. In concern she asked, "What is it? What happened?"

"Quatre and Meilan. They were attacked," the Japanese girl managed to say while trying to catch her breath. Her pet, Zechs, was right behind her, but didn't seem as winded.

"What? By who," the Chinese girl asked again. By this time, Duo was at her side, having heard.

"These two wild cat-boys, but they're not harmed, don't worry. But their cat-boys," Heero stopped, not wanting to continue. /Ah damn! Solo and Triton, / the braded cat-boy thought in a panic.

"We should go see them," Wufei said right away, and got her jacket. Duo came with them, no question. They got there as quickly as they could, and the scene they came upon was so saddening. The two wild cat-boys were all ready in body bags, but upon arriving, they found Triton's body bag just barely being zipped up.

"Quatre, Quatre, are you okay," Heero asked, holding tightly onto her blonde friend. Wufei went to comfort her sister.

/I can't believe this...Triton...no.../ His sad thoughts were interrupted though, as Zechs said, "Look, Solo is all right."

Both went upto the stretcher he was on, and asked, "What happened?"

~Flashback~

"RUN!!! GET OUT OF THEIR WAY!! HURRY," they suddenly heard Mary yell. But it was too late, for the two wild cat-boys were all ready in front of them, and one lept to attack Meilan. Quickly, without thinking, Solo jumped in the way, and both he, and his owner, were knocked across the road. Leaving them both unconsious.

"Solo," Triton yelled, but had to defend Quatre from the other one who tried to attack. It was then he was thankful he had learned some fighting techniques from Trowa, and found a way to flip him into the air. But he didn't expect to throw him into the wall, in which he was then electrocuted to death!

"You'll pay for killing my son," he suddenly heard the other yell. And before he knew it, five claws were going to get him.

"Shoot him dammit! Shoot him," Mary yelled, and watched as Sally Po shot the cat-boy three times in the back, but only after he had all ready attacked Triton.

"Triton! Triton," Quatre yelled, rolling the dead body off of him. she then found a large gash in the middle of his stomach. He was bleeding so much, and was going to die. Crying, she lifted his head up, and held him in her arms. So wishing she could save him.

"Quatre, I don't have much time left to live. So please, listen to me," she heard him say softly. Looking into his eyes, she found him to have such a peaceful look. She then listened carefully as he said, "Please, take care of Trowa... Be as kind to him as you were to me, and please, tell Solo not to be too upset about my passing...He still has someone to look forward to being with."

As he had said this, he looked to the old woman, who was kneeling on the ground, and suffering a heart-attack. Apparently he wasn't the only one who would die today. Either way, he did close his eyes, and died peacefully as he finished his speech.

"Mary? Mary are you all right," Sally asked the older woman. Glaring slightly at her, she responded with, "You could've saved him, and no, I'm not all right. I'm suffering a heart attack."

"I'm sorry, I tried to hurry. Do you want me to get you some help," the blonde woman asked. Shaking her head no, she explained, "I want you to give my cat-boy, Trowa, to that girl over there."

"All right, I'll do it, but we have to get you to the hospital," Sally persisted. The older woman shook her head, and finally said, "I'm going to die. Accept that, and let it be. Just make sure you give Trowa to Quatre(1)."

The European woman nodded, and was left to watch as her friend died along with the cat-boy named Triton.

~End Flashback~

"Is...is he really dead? Is Triton really dead," Solo asked, only knowing what he had heard. Not wanting to, but having to, they nodded, and watched as the kitten's(2) face showed dispair and heart break.

Very sad chapter this one. It'll be happier I promise. Though I'll bet you all are mad at me right now. Anyway, here are those numbers:

(1) She should know Quatre's name by now, especially since they visit often, or used to.

(2) He's not even one years old yet! In human years. Speaking of which, here are their ages in human years:

Triton- died at 2 years old for he was in the shop for nearly two years before being purchased

Solo- barely a month old if you look back through all the chapters and count the days gone by since he was cloned

Duo- 15 years

Trowa- 17 years

Zechs- 19 years

Trieze- 19 years

Yusuke- 14 years

Kurama- 14 years
