| After school, hallways.
/"How sad am I.. that my homies are engaged today... "/ Askka thought, dispirited. /"It`ll be noiseless as a midnight street in there.
Whatever. I`ll punch through anything that stands in my-"Mwew!" She paused, as she heard a most adorable sound.
"What's that sound???" Askka asked.
*Meww* *mRrew!* She heard again.
Askka said to herself, "That box? In front of my clubroom? Ah! What does that paper say... "
The note read, 'Pls. Find this bby kitten new home for me. Thank U'?
"...Baby... Baby kitten?!" She loudly yelled, as she opened the box.
*mrmEewh!* It cried affectionately.
Distressed, Askka said, "Oroh! Who could just leave you here... "
"Mrm-mrm-mRm-mmm." It purred, as she picked up the kitten.
"Danggg. How am I `pposed to find a place that'll home a kitten???" She asked herself, upset.
| And thennn~
((Rrring! Rinnng!))
"Youuu have Renna." She responded, jeeringly. "What's that? Aw? Hawhhh! (...) Sorryyy. At Blossom Bakery, we can't accept your request. (!)"
*Hung up*
"Ren_naaa... " Askka said, dejectedly.
((Vibrateee!))
"Askka? What's up?" Kliff asked, downcast. "A baby cat? (...) As your comrade, I would if I could. Hah-hhha.. Sorry, I'm not fit.. to raise another creature, besides myself... "
| Later ~ Faculty office.
"Pardon me?" Miss. Eirika asked. "Mhm? Sure, it's fine. Long as you don't mind the fact, I live in a compact studio apartment. I hope, she won't mind my Herculean paperwork piles at home, ahHah~"
Concerned, Askka replied, "N-no thanks."
| Science club.
"My heartfelt apologies." Xander stated, frankly. "Please, cast your optics around this scene. Does it look_ as if any of us can care for a cat cub?!"
"Actually... The picture you paint.. makes sense." She admitted.
| Empty classroom.
Askka thought, discontent, /"Could Matteo work as a suitable owner for her? He seems.. like he could be a caring kind-of guy... /"
"Listen well, my-erh guys!" Matteo shouted, grinning. "These floors are clean-ed as a boot. Urh-Please prep your sponges, anddd____ make these windows shine bright-Er!"
"We understand -boss!" They responded.
Groaning, she thought, /"On another thought, maybe he isn't... /"
| On the way home.
"Mew`Mrew?" It meowed sadly at her.
/"Have my options really run out like this... /" She asked herself.
((Door opens and closes.))
Tensely, she asked, "Hey, mom? Dad? I have something, I need to ask."
| And then, later than night.
"Hahh_Hehrnheh!" Askka chuckled, as she reached her palm out. "I can't believe they gave me their approval! (.....!) How could I forget, I need to give you some kind-of name."
"Hey! You think you can eat my squid!" She said, alarmed. "Rrrng... I think... an idea is coming my way..... "
*Lick* "Mwe!" It happily cried, as it bit the squid.
Askka stated, with a prideful grin, "Ik_ka... Yeah, -Ikka! I think I like how that sounds!"
"Mmew?"
| Fin!
