The New Guest

« prev 13 in pool next »

The house was quiet now.  Jazz stood at teh sink, rinsing the dishes before placing them in the dish-washer.  Scooter and Maxxi were playing a random racing game.  Dante had long since retired to his room.  ANd Leon sat in his room, staring into space.
It had been two months, he thought, two months since Coco came to stay...
Coconhad already become a basic part int eh household.  After a few days after Leons big beating on Houser and Rachet, they finaly came out.  The still tried to mess with Coco, and every now and then trying to steal her away, but to no avail.  Leon still hated kids, but Coco was a little sweet-heart.  Since school started fo rher, she had been getting straight A's, and there was even talk of hyer skipping almost two grade levels.
In the room next to his.  He heard Coco's desk lamp turn off, followed shortly by her covers moving and a small creek on a bed.  Leon got up and wondered around, helped himself to a beer, watched dome TV when Maxxi and Scooter called it  anight.  At 11:29 pm, Leon couldn't think of anything to do.  He had already worked out, he thought he could do it again.  After a while he half mindedly got up and romed down the hall to Coco's room.  Slowly, he crept in and looked down at her.  He had to admit, she was pretty cute, in that little teeny tiny kitten way.  Leon moved some of her hair from her face and pulled hte covers up more around her and stopped.
That hell?
What was he doing?!  He stopped and left the room.
"Some one cares."  Jazz said, leaning in his doorway.
"What are you talking about?"  Leon asked, his tone sharp.
"you've grown a liking to Coco, that is what I mean.  It's not love, but it is the same feeling you feel for Rachet, am I correct?"  Jazz asked.
Leon sighed.  Fine.  Coco reminded him only SLIGHTLY of how Rachet used to be...before he was 'adopted' and taken away for those long years.
"Why the hell would you say that?"
"Becasue you were just tucking her in, if memory serves, you've only done that to Nira, or someone you cared deeply about."  Jazz said, rubbing his neck.
"Look, let's get things straight here, I do not love her, I am only making sure she's okay, it has nothing to do with caring."  Leon growled.
"Then explain all the things you've done.  You've joked around with her, you let her cuddle next to you on the couch, you allow her to come into your room and sleep with you, you pick her up and put her on the counter when she can't reach soemthing, sounds like caring to me."  Jazz explains.
Leon looked down.  "Fine, alright, I have a small soft spot for her.  SHe's not as annoying as some other kids, and she's fun to have around."  He looked up to his friend, "I'm just protective, alright?"
Jazz nodded, "there it is, you finally admit it."
"Admit was?"  Leon asked.
"Oh, nothing, good night."  Jazz said, closing his door.  Leon sighed and closed Coco's door.
He had a small soft spot for her, but that didn't mean he was going SOFT! He was still the toughest of the fighters int he circut, he was the champ.  Being a little caring to a kitten wasn't that bad, was it?

Shit...
