((Well. I'ma let Cloud rest a while. P:))

Allen paused a moment, then sighed and tilted his head slightly as he thought a while. "Mm, I guess I'll just take the chance and adopt you." With that, he walked off to go get the items he needed and talk to a man about a fox.

((Ugh. My brain is going in and out of being fried from my SOLs. ><)

Kasey felt a freezing cold hand on his and turned to Snype, "Come on" he said taking him to the house. He walked in and his mother looked at him, "What did I just say>" she asked his her hands on her hips. "But he's feezing" Kasey insisted. "We agreed he would stay outside" she said. "But look at him" he said kneeling down next to Snype and giving his mouth the puppy dog face. She looked at them a minute and finally gave in, "Alright but onlu untill we find something warm for him" she said and turned back to what she was doing. Kasey stood up and took Snype upstairs to The geust room.

It had a king sized bed with a plaid comforter and matching sheets and pillow case. There was a bed side table witha reading lamp and an alarm clock. The bedroom also had it's own bathroom atached. "You can sleep in here I'm in the room right next door. Wait maybe we should do something about your voice." Kasey was thinking. "Do you think cough drops would help?" He asked unsure if Snype knew what those were.

((It's fine I don't mind fail posts))

"Ok then" Paige got ready to be adopted and could hardly contain her excitment. She was smiling and her tail was waggin like she was a dog. Her boots taped the cage door. She couldn't wait to get out of here and to this dudes house even if he did return her the next day. It would be nice even to just have a brake from this place. Get away from the slime they called food, from the abusive employees, and hopefuly away from other mean people assuming her owner wasn't one of them.

The boy held the towel around his waist with one hand while being dragged by the other inside the house. wait, so he was going to be allowed inside now? Geez, this was getting confusing. He hobbled along though, giving the pretty lady the most innocent and pitiful of faces when he was presented to her. he would have liked to tell her off right then and there for even thinking about forcing him to sleep outside when she had a whole big house, butthen again, maybe he did not look like the type of boy that could be trusted. He for one knew he couldn't. 

Thankfully, he had kept hold of the nice clothes in his tail so when they made it to the large room, he still had something to put on. He looked around, his sharp black eyes wide and mouth hanging open at the splendor all around him. He had never seen a bed so big before! Immediately, he walked over to it and climbed on top, feeling the comforter with his large mangles looking hands. 

When the boy spoke to him again, he looked up, ears twisting forward, nose twitching. He set down the clothes and seemed to be thinking carefully for a moment or two, before he lifted his chin and pointed to some red markings and bruises along his throat. He had obviously been nearly strangled, and recently too. Cough drops might help, but even he was unsure. 

Using the moments when he was alone, Snype quickly dressed himself, preferring to be fully clothed as opposed to naked, even if he did have near enough hair to cover any unsightly areas. "Ahhh..." He sighed, able to do that at the very least. It felt nice to be fully clothed again, and in awesome clothes too! He would have had to steal them to get clothes this nice back home. Maybe this pet thing wasn't going to be so bad after all.

When he came back Snype jumped off the bed and landed with a thump on all fours where he stayed until he had crept nearly all the way up to the boy. Then he stood up quite quickly, his tail, which was hanging out one of the legs of his newly acquired shorts' legs, dragging limply behind him. He took the drops in one set of ugly claws and popped them in his mouth with the other. Taking a few moments to suck on them, he looked around, wishing he could ask all of the many questions running through his head.

((I have to think of something decent for Allen...xD;))

A while later, Cloud let out a soft groan that shifted into a yawn as he twisted to roll over and stretch himself out, arching his back up and lifting his tail just like a cat does when it's really stretching. Then he noticed that he was on a bed that was covered in blankets, and it even had pillows. Compared to the cage he had been in for who knows how long, this little air mattress was like a heaven on earth.

He went to settle back down on it before he decided he should go explain something to the man who bought him. He let out a soft sigh, cringing slightly as he recalled the way he'd been slung around in the truck, and even stuffed into a little carrier. He shivered, then carefully stood up, making his way out of the closet in a cautious manner. You can never be too sure...

After deeming it was safe enough, he moved through the house to look for the man who had brought him here, his ears perked and his tail twitching behind him. "H...Hello...?" he called, ears pulling back slightly afterwards.

Cloud's ears perked when he heard the other male's voice, the clouded leopard moving into the room the sound had originated from. "Yes..I am... And...um...I'm...I'm sorry for freaking out earlier..." he murmured softly, ears drooping. "I just...I'm really afriad of small spaces...that carrier had me freaked out already...and you banging it around in your truck didn't help matters much..." he sighed lightly, blue eyes focusing on the floor as he shuffled his feet slightly, twiddling his fingers in a shy, nervous manner.

"Thank you...for the bed..."

Kohaku's stubborn personality returned, staring at a T.V screen. He turned over to the hybrid before saying; "Yeah, about that.....Err, sorry. Forgot you were in there." He stretched his legs, not taking a second glance at Cloud and walking into the kitchen. He put some Chef Boyardi in the microwave. The young teen never had a thing for cooking. "Oh, no problem. Least I can do for...nearly killing you," He said awkwardly.

-fail-

Cloud's ears perked straight up the instant he could smell the food in the microwave, his stomach letting out a small growl before he ventured into the kitchen behind him, tail swaying. "I'm guessing that you don't cook much..." he asked softly, his head tilting before he smiled a little, tail waving. "I had to cook for myself a lot of the time before I was turned into a...hybrid of sorts. If you'd like, I could cook for you," he offered, a soft purr in his voice.

Then he perked back up again. "Oh! I never got a chance to ask you what your name was," he said, becoming slightly bolder. It didn't last long, though, before he was looking around, ears twitching every now and then. He lifted a hand to rub one of his eyes, the hybrid not yet totally awake physically, but mentally he was ready to go.

Kohaku turned away from the microwave and leaned against the counter. "Never really like it," He said, chuckling slightly. Mabye the hybrid was warming up to him...? He couldn't tell. He was smiling, atleast. That meant they were happy, right? "Oh, its okay. I'm good with my Ravioli--" The words just left his lips when the food exploded in the microwave. He clutched his heart slightly. "God, just gave me a heart attack." He sighed. He opened the microwave to see the sauce spattered everywhere.

"Hrmm...You can cook if you like." he huffed, defeated. He put the rest of the food on the counter and attempted to clean it, but only succeeded in spreading it. "Name's Kohaku," He introduced himself.

Cloud couldn't help the giggle that escaped his lips when the ravioli exploded in the microwave. He moved over, then grabbed something he could use to clean with before he moved over tot he sink to get it damp. He was then back over at the splattered mess of ravioli, carefully starting to clean it out of the microwave. "Are you allergic to anything or have any specific tastes?" he asked, angling his head to glance at Kohaku, smiling again. Being able to cook was something Cloud was actully very proud of, and it was something he liked to do. As for the cleaning...well...it reminded him of before he was turned into whatever he was now.

"Or if you'd like, I could just work with whatever you have around here. I'm not a five-star chef, but I thought my food was pretty good," he purred, tilting his head in a rather fond manner as his eyes grew softer and brighter, his tail waving in a more contented fashion. Once the microwave was all nice and clean again, he drifted back over to the sink to clean off what he'd rescued the microwave with, ears perked forward.

Though, they flattened when his stomach growled at him again. He had refused to eat that disgusting food unless he absolutely had to...which meant he hadn't actually eaten in quite a while. He shook it off, though, as he moved over to the fridge to dig through it, tail twitching now in a toughtful manner as he leaned over to look past some of the larger objects, making not of what was in there so he knew before he started making anything.

Kohaku licked some sauce from his finger. "As long as its edible, I'll eat it. No vegetables please." He said, rotating his shoulders confortably. "Don't really want to go shopping for food, and I don't think you do either.  Mabye just work around and use what you have here?" He asked, getting a pepsi and cracking it open and taking a sip. "Seems your hungry," He said, replying to his stomach's growl. "Making a starving person make food for someone else seems a little inhumane, don't you think?" He asked.

(( Fail-- rushed. D; I gtg, I'll be on tomorrow. ))

Cloud straightened back up, closing the door of the fridge as he looked back at the other with a warm smile and a soft laugh. "I never said I was just feeding you, you know. Now that I can finally have a choice between real food and that disgusting canned cat food they served us, I'm going to go with real food," he purred before he ducked into the fridge to grab a few ingredients. He then wandered around the kitchen until he found a cutting board, a knife, and a pan.

He set tot work preparing the food after washing his hands, ears perked forward as he carefully began to cut hat needed to be cut, looking thoughtful. "I may ned to use vegetables every now and then. Your body needs them if you want to be healthy," he stated, using to his tail to grab the stick of butter he grabbed to make sure none of the food stuck. "They also work well for flaoring. I won't make you eat them all the time, though. I happen to like them myself," he said, glancing up and over at the human with a smile before he returned to his work, both his hands and his tail working rather quickly for someone who hadn't cooked anything in a while.

He then dashed tot he fridge to grab something else and dart back, cutting on the oven and placing it on low so he'd have time to do this before the butter was totally melted. He took small bits of a couple vegetables and set them aside, pulling over a thing that had a couple different meats on it. he took the small veggite bits and carefully sprinkled them over the meats, the clouded leopard letting out a soft hum as he worked.
