Lyo glanced back to Kitty, looking a little surprised by the suggestion. He hadn't thought Kitty would want to sleep on his bed, not if he had the prospect of sleeping in his own bed. It almost made his blush return, though he managed to just stop it. Shaking his head, he tried to forget the earlier comment and smiled back to Kitty, glad to see how excited he seemed. Unlike what he may say, Lyo really was glad he had made a friend so quickly. Kitty was very likable. Frowning a little, he pulled Kitty closer, protectively wrapping an arm around him. "Don't worry, if he tries to I'll bite him, I may even get some fox fire going if I'm lucky!" He answered in a bright tone, beginning to gently tug Kitty towards the other boats.

Kitty smiled happily when Lyo put his arm around him. He blushed a little then laughed. "I'm very happy to hear you say that. Thank you very much!" he said smiling more. "I'm glad I have you as my friend!" Kitty smile fadded a little but not all the way. He let Lyo pull him towards the boats as the boats pulled up on shore. A lot of the freshmen were all talking about the ride and how scary it was. Kitty didn't really understand. He had a nice ride plus a nice nap. A very nice nap actually. He wished he could just go back to sleep.

Lyo laughed loudly, shaking his head a little as he did. "Good, I'm glad that made you happy cause I'm deadly serious about it." He warned with a faint smirk as his laughter faded away. When Kitty said he was glad that Lyo was his friend, he looked embarrassed, but this time he didn't blush. Instead he held him a little closer. As they finally approached the others, he started to scowl a little, gazing distrustfully to the other freshmen.
"Their all a bunch of cowards to be scared by a lake, you'd think none of them had been on a boat before..." he mumbled softly under his breath.

Kitty only smiled more. He relaxed against Lyo and just smirked at them. He had someone to protect him for once. So he was safe. He yawned loudly as the group waited for directions on what they were going to do. Kitty smiled as he looked up. "So what are we doing now? Looks like they don't know either. Um...I kinda wanna go in now...it's a little creepy out here...." Kitty smiled weakly up at Lyo a little.

Lyo shrugged a little as he continued to look around suspiciously. After the earlier 'attack' on Kitty, he wasn't going to let anyone sneak up on them again. However he glanced down to give Kitty an encouraging smile. "I'm sure someone'll come soon." He answered before stiffening as a figure appeared. An aging woman walked towards them, her hair up in a stiff bun. She looked fairly old, but stern, he didn't want to mess with her. She stood still, glancing over the group in silence.
"Follow me, I will take you to the Great Hall where you will be Sorted in to your houses." She beckoned before turning to head into the castle.

Kitty almost jumped out of his clothes when the old lady talked. He gripped his shirt over his heart as he froze. "Oh my god! That lady scared me!" Kitty said then laughed weakly. He hesitated before he grabbed onto Lyo's sleeve. "I'm kinda scared..." he admitted a little. "S-stay close....please..." he said then moved closer almost in his arms. He heard whispering behind him and his ears went down so he wouldn't hear them. He didn't want to start trouble again. "Sorry..." he said as he let go then moved away a little. "I guess we follow her...." Slowly he started walking but he wasn't walking fast. He jumped when a painting talked to him. "Oh my god! It talks!"

Lyo had stiffened when she arrived, having seen her coming. When Kitty grabbed his sleeve and laughed weakly though Lyo chuckled softly, gently patting his head. "You alright? Don't worry, she kinda looks scary anyway." He smiled then stepped so he would be close to Kitty. Shaking his head, Lyo walked with Kitty, trying to comfort him a little. "Don't be, you're so much better then any of them anyway." He whispered back before jumping with Kitty. Talking paintings hadn't been one of the things Yubi had told him about so he had been frightened as well. Heart pounding he laughed breathily, shaking his head again. "That was a...Shock." He laughed.

Kitty blushed when Lyo had said he was better than any of them. He laughed happily when Lyo jumped. "We both got scared didn't we," he asked then laughed more. He moved closer to the painting then blinked. He didn't understand how it was moving. All kinds of magic was new to him seeing as he had no access to it. "How do you move? Batteries?" He started touching the frame. The old man in the painting laughed. He was happy to see that there was at least one boy in the group that wasn't stuck up. "No boy it's magic. You will learn it all in good time but you should hurry. I wouldn't want you to be separated from that group over there." Kitty smiled at the old man. "You're nice." "Same with you boy. Now hurry. Both of you."

((I just wanna let you know that I won't be on this weekend. I wont have access to a computer and if I do I'll try to get on ^^))

Lyo grinned as he heard Kitty laughing. It was a nice sound and made him gently hug him as they walked. "Yep, but don't tell anyone that 'K? I got a reputation to keep up" He joked with a wink before glancing curiously at the painting. It was definately intruiging, how it could move and converse with them, though it had no possible means of doing this. He kept silent as Kitty spoke to the man in the painting, smiling faintly when he explained it was magic that let him move. With a quick wave, Lyo took Kitty's hand. "Good bye sir!" He called to the painting before quickly hurrying to catch up with the group, keeping Kitty close. "See? There are lots of nice people here, the paintings, that Kaito guy, we'll be fine." He smiled as he spoke.

((Ok, thanks for telling me ^^))

Kitty smiled as he held Lyo's hand. It was nice. He was happy for once. He laughed then hugged his back. "You're the nicest of them all though! And my first friend ever!" He blinked at the huge group of people standing in front of the lady that had scared them. He quickly moved and followed the group as they slowly walked into a huge room. His eyes widened as he stared at the long tables. It was amazing. He looked at the room and his eyes widened more. "Lyo this room is huge! This could fit at least 20 of my rooms into her maybe even more! And look up there! Candles! They're floating! And the tables!" His voice wasn't that loud cause he didn't wanna get attention but he couldn't ignore anything. Everything was amazing for him.

Lyo blushed slightly though he smiled warmly back down to Kitty. "Thanks Kitty, you're pretty amazing yourself, first person who isn't my family not to look down on me for being part kitsune." He grinned then glanced back up to the group of people in front of them. Like Kitty, Lyo was taken in by the strange scene in front of him. There had to be hundreds of people here, all watching the group of first years walking in. The candles gave a soft, comforting glow to the hall. Laughing softly he nodded, pointing up to the ceiling. "It's showing the weather outside up there, see? All the stars are really pretty." He grinned before his attention was caught again by the old woman speaking. She was saying something about how they had to walk up and sit on the seat when their name was called. Kitty would go first, his name was first in the alphabet. "Good luck Kitty" He whispered when his name was called.

Kitty smiled when he saw how happy Lyo sounded. He froze when his name was called. "T-thank you," he said softly then slowly walked up. "Don't be scared," the old women said as she smiled warmly. It creeped Kitty out more that he smiled. He sat down in the chair that was there then took a deep breath trying to calm himself down. The women set the hat down on his head and kitty almost threw it off when it talked. "Interesting!" It said then started mumbling to itself. "Very interesting. A neko of all things. And not the only one that I sense in the group either. Oh but you're a vampire to...very interesting indeed." "Not Slitherin...not Slitherin..." kitty mumbled to the hat. "Not Slitherin you say? But they could do so much good for you....you'll have to get to know the potion's master very well then...in that case... GRIFFENDORE~!" The hat yelled for all to hear. The hat was taken off and he slowly walked over to the table that was pointed at him as that table clapped loudly. 'this isn't going to be fun....' He sat down then stared at his lap until Lyo's name was called.

(sorry if I miss spelled anything >.<)

Lyo patted Kitty very gently on the arm before watching the other walk up. He remained silent when the hat was set on Kitty's head, although a watchful, protective expression had flickered over his features. The neko hadn't realised he was holding his breath until it was released in a short puff as finally the strange, talking hat declared that Kitty was to be in Griffindor. It was better then Slytherin anyday in his opinion so he was glad Kitty was safe. Suddenly he froze, staring in surprise at the old woman, then the hat she held as he attempted to make sense of what she'd said.
"Lyoko Summers?" She called again and Lyo finally pushed his way forwards to take a seat on the small stool. The moment the hat fell down onto his head, he jumped again as it began to talk.
"I know you! I placed your sister in Ravenclaw...You don't have her brains though." The hat said in a cheerful tone. Lyo rolled his eyes, muttering a sarcastic 'Thanks' under his breath that seemed to amuse the hat. "Another Neko I see, and half Kitsune too, just like your sister, though you seem to take after the neko side more....I suppose Hufflepuff would be a suitable choise..." It seemed to be having difficulty in deciding which house he should go into.
"Griffindor...Please let it be Griffindor..." He whispered, too quietly for anyone to be able to hear, although it seemed the hat could. It made a chuckling noise before suddenly yelling out it's decision. "GRIFFINDOR!" Making Lyo jump again. Cursing under his breath, he hurried down from the stool, making his way to the small space that was beside Kitty on the apparantly Griffindor table.
"My sister's going to kill me later for not getting into her house...It said I wasn't smart! The cheek" He grumbled as he smiled a greeting to Kitty.
((It's fine ^^ Also I won't be able to reply for a few days since I'm going to visit friends, really sorry ^^))

Kitty carefully watched his friend. He waited as he went up and sat in the chair. He was a little worried about not being in the same house. His ears, though hidden and unseen, were down flat against his head. They went up when he heard the hat yell Griffindor. A huge smile appeared on the boys face. He was so happy. He giggled as he waited for his friend to be seated before he hugged him tight. "We're in the same house! We're in the same house!" he giggled happily. He was so happy that they were together. "Don't listen to a stupid hat! It wanted to put me in Slithern....I asked it not to though!" Kitty got so excited that he wasn't careful and his hat fell off his head. He froze. Is anyone staring? Do they know? Will i die because of it?

"You have kitty ears on the top of your head!" one of the other Griffindor's said and soon all were staring at him. Kitty's ears were down completly flat against his head. "Isn't it cute!" Soon the whole table was trying to get a closer look. They pulled him close so they could touch his ears. Questions after questions flew at him but he couldn't answer any cause he would try but anther would as a question. He whimpered as he tried to get away. He was scared of being touched. His breathing became quick as he struggled though everyone tried to keep him there.

Kitty couldn't take it anymore and he screamed. "Let me go!!!!" he screamed as he struggled to get free. "Lyo!" They only giggled as some of the girls hugged him.

"We're just trying to make friends."

"Yeah we wanna know what it's like?" In Kitty's mind it wasn't a hug he was getting. He was being attacked by his father. Kitty griped his head as his small weak body shook badly.

((tis fine ^^))

Lyo chuckled warmly as he returned the hug, before pretending to be choking a little. “I’m glad we’re in the same house too Kitty, but if you’re not careful I’m gonna end up dead instead.” He joked, disentangling himself and gently patting Kitty’s shoulder to show he wasn’t actually annoyed. “I’m glad it listened to you then! Who wants to be in stinking Slytherin anyway?” Lyo answered with a grin before stiffening. Staring in surprise at Kitty, he had leant down to pick up his hat, only to start hissing angrily. Too many people were closing in on them. Lyo hated crowds as it was, but this was going to induce a full on panic attack at this rate. When he panicked, he tended to unsheathe his claws.

Letting out a furious snarl, Lyo reached forwards, pulling the girls roughly away from Kitty. In the process his own hat had tumbled off, but he was beyond caring at this point. “Can’t you see he doesn’t like it? Get the hell off of him!” He snapped, green eyes glittering angrily, although his expression was more of a cornered cat or fox, terrified and desperate to escape. “Kitty? Kitty are you alright, it’s fine, you’re safe I promise.” He whispered, gazing anxiously at his friend.

The girls glared at him. "You're just being a big baby!" they said the potion teacher walked towards them. He looked much like Snape but much younger and good looking. Kitty didn't move. His eyes were closed tight and he was so scared he was on the brink of throwing up. His body was still shaking badly and his breathing was fast and hard. Snape look a like sighed as he walked over to them. "What is going on here?" he asked as he glared looming over them. "Oh professor Kail!" the girls giggled as they looked up. "Leave them alone. Sit now. You're disrupting dinner." The girls quickly sat down and the room soon went quiet. Everyone was staring at them. They couldn't believe they were seeing real neko's. Kail sighed then looked down at the two boys. "How about you bring him and follow me? See if you can get him to move or pick the kid up." Kail turned and started walking. Kitty's eyes were unfocused though they seemed to be searching for something or someone. He just felt so weak and so scared that he just wanted to run. He was in his mind but reality he wasn't moving an inch. He was just crying softly.
