[ It happens so fast that he doesn't even have time to react. He thought maybe he'd finally figured out a way to get through to Saru after days of coming up with nothing.

And now this. He stares at the closed door and the empty apartment with a growing sense of frustration. He goes over and claws at the door, as if trying to get it open, even if he knows by now that it's pointless. ]

[It's pointless.

Fushimi doesn't return for several hours, and when he does he's being escorted by Munakata. And sulking.]

Let HOMRA take care of him. He's theirs.

[thevanguard]

They're busy scrambling to find out how this happened in the first place. As are we. In the meantime, this is the most convenient place for him - especially since he's already been settled here over the past few days.

[monkeyblue]

I don't want Misaki in my apartment.

[thevanguard]

Fushimi-kun, he's a cat. Certainly he can't be that much of a handful. You don't even have to talk to him.

[monkeyblue]

It's Misaki.

[Munakata knows how he feels about his former best friend.]

[thevanguard]

And it will be only a few days until we get to the bottom of this. If this was a pointed attack, here will be one of the safest places for him. Primarily because no one would think to look for him here, being that he is Yata-san.

[monkeyblue]

Tch.

[He can't argue with that logic and he hates it.]

Fine. In that case, someone's going to have to start delivering groceries. Yakitori, sushi, other things a cat can eat that a human wouldn't mind. And tell Banzai I'll...take that weird slow cooker Domyoji keeps trying to give me. I can make something in that he'll eat, maybe.

[thevanguard]

I'll have that set up immediately. Is there anything else you think you'll need in the way of supplies?

[monkeyblue]

I'll send a list to whoever you assign to deliver them.

[They all know better than to fuck up his groceries.]

Tch, guess I do need to finish that self-cleaning litter box...ngh.

[thevanguard]

[ Munakata just pats him on the back. ]

You're doing exceptional at this, Fushimi-kun. I'll have someone over with deliveries this afternoon. In the meantime, let me know if anything else unusual occurs. I'll be working with HOMRA on this matter.

[monkeyblue]

Whatever.

[He waits until Munakata leaves to start looking for the cat.]

Misaki?

[thevanguard]

[ The cat is currently hiding in Saru's bed, burrowed down under the blankets and curled up in a tight, miserable ball. ]

[monkeyblue]

Misaki, I know you can hear me.

[thevanguard]

[ The blankets rustle a little as the cat stirs, but he doesn't come out. ]

[monkeyblue]

Tch.

[Fushimi climbs up enough to move the blankets off the cat and just stare at him.]

Misaki.

[thevanguard]

[ One paw is curled over his face from the little ball he'd curled into, tail wrapped tightly around him. With his hiding spot effectively compromised, he peers one golden eye open to scowl at Saru. ]

[monkeyblue]

Don't give me that.

[Staring contest with the cat. Sure.]

They're bringing you food.

[thevanguard]

[ He just closes his eyes again because yay. Great. That sure was his biggest concern here. ]

[monkeyblue]

And they're working on figuring out what happened.

[thevanguard]

[ Now he gives a little huff, because they better be. He doesn't want to be stuck like this. Even if he's secretly afraid he might be. What then? ]

[monkeyblue]

Tap the bed once for yes, twice for no: did you see who did this to you?

[thevanguard]

[ His ears twitch forward a little at that before his head comes up, cocked to the side a little.

Instead of tapping, he stretches both paws out in front of him, claws flexed for a moment before he gets to his feet. ]

[monkeyblue]

That's not answering the question, Misaki.

[Why are you so dumb.]

[thevanguard]

[ Yata just gives him a look before hopping down from the bed to the desktop.

He knocks over the container that holds Saru's pens, pawing through them until he can lean down and pick up on that's green in color between his teeth before hopping back up and dropping it in front of Saru.

Then he reaches out and taps it twice. ]
