Kitty was glad that he wasn't going to be pushed away. Kitty blinked at the story. He didn't really understand how far away the places he talked about cause Kitty never really learned much. "What's it like to be on a plane? I've seen then a bunch of times on pamphlets that my father had. I never found out why he had them or if he went on a trip....They just look really cool! I'd love to go on one!" He laughed happily as he smiled. He looked around then yawned. "I can't wait to sleep...I wonder if I get a good spot....away from the windows." Kitty didn't think he'd get a bed and he didn't mind the floor. He actually like it. Plus he could always shift forms and sleep on the bottom of a bed. Maybe even Lyo's bed.

((if I disappear I had to run. I have a meeting today but I will be back ^^))

He frowned, trying to find the best way to describe it. "I guess...It's kinda like sitting in a chair. Sometimes you get a TV and radio, depending where your ticket lets you sit. You can sit by the window too. It's kinda cool looking out and seeing the ocean or land moving past beneath you! But really, it doesn't feel like you're moving unless you hit turbulence. I always panic when we do, the plane shakes and rocks, feels like it's gonna fall out of the sky and crash." He shuddered a little at the thought. "Plus, when you get off you're normally all groggy and tired cause of the time difference of the different country you're in." Lyo added as an after thought before smiling as he saw Kitty yawn. "Yeah, you look pretty tired. We gotta sit through the sorting first, and food, Yubi says the food's amazing!" He grinned at the thought before jumping in alarm, actually taking a step back behind Kitty when he saw the large, very large, bearded man approaching.

((Alright ^^ Also is it alright I'm bringing Hagrid in? Just to take them across on the boats))

Kitty listened then laughed a little. He liked listening to his stories. "I don't think I'll fall asleep. I'm just hungry....I don't know about blood though...this will be hard..." he trailed off when he saw the big man. His tail puffed up as he got ready to run. He had never ever ever seen a guy that tall before. He was so confused. "How can a guy be that tall....who is he?"

((tis fine ^^ I don't mind. I was thinking that he'd be the only guy able to do that. ^^))

Lyo frowned a little. Yes, the blood would be a problem for Kitty. "Maybe the teachers have already sorted out something? If not, well, if I dont' turn into a vamp too I'll let you have mine! If I became a vamp I think my genes or something would go into overdrive, I'm already part kitsune." He joked, finding it hard not to laugh when he noticed the tip of Kitty's tail that hadn't quite hidden had puffed up.
"C'mon an' follow me! Firs'-years follow me, over here! Mind yer step now." The large man called as he beckoned with an equally large hand towards some steep steps. "I am Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. I'll take yer to the school an' a teacher'll take yer from there." The man explained and Lyo calmed down a little. Yubi had told him about this man.
"He's alright, meant to be a complete softy and a sucker for any 'magical beast'. Bet he'll love us." He joked, whispering to Kitty as he started to follow the man.

((Thanks ^^ I'll probably quote out of the book a bit to make it sound like him, I managed to find it XD))

Kitty's face went red when he said he could have his blood. He couldn't do that. He'd feel horrible about it. Kitty looked at the man then smiled. "He does smell nice. I'd like to be his friend," Kitty said then giggled. He stayed close to Lyo as they walked. He didn't wanna get separated. He still held onto his arm but loosely. He looked down when he felt like he was being watched. Another boy saw part of Kitty's tail that was sticking out and pulled hard on it. Kitty made an angry cat sound/hissed as he jumped then quickly hid behind Lyo. He froze though. He didn't know what he was going to do. He didn't mean to but he couldn't help it. His tail was really sensitive from being pulled hard by his father.
"He sounded like a cat and he even has a tail!" the boy shouted as he pointed at him. Kitty only whimpered and hid his face.
'I'm in trouble....I don't know what I'm going to do...' He just clung to Lyo. 'He'll protect me...he'll protect me...' Kitty thought over and over again.

He didn't notice Kitty's red face as he gazed carefully at the path ahead of them. It was getting darker and harder to see. He nodded though at Kitty's words. "He's got a dog too, but he's really friendly too apparantly! Likes cats more then he likes foxes anyway." He commented before stiffening as he heard Kitty's hiss. Spinning around he growled angrily, forcing himself not to hiss or snarl either, or show his own fox like canines. Instead, he settled on glaring furiously at the boy, firmly planting himself between him and Kitty.
"Of course he did! Wouldn't you if you'd been jinxed by your sister to have a tail? How'd you like it if I did it to you eh? Or maybe we should give you a nice long rat tail instead?" He snapped threateningly, just daring the other boy to go against him.

Kitty was shaking as he clung to Lyo's back. He was scared. The boy glared at him. "Then why didn't he just get it reversed! I don't think your telling the truth! I think it real!" The boy went quiet when Kaito walked over to them. The boy quickly walked off into the crowed. "What happened?" he asked as he looked at the small group that formed around them. Kitty didn't look up or move. He was holding onto his tail. It really did hurt.

Lyo couldn't contain the angry hiss as his lips parted in a snarl, he wouldn't let the other boy scare Kitty like this. "Muggle-borns can't get their parents to reverse it stupid! His parents wouldn't know where to go to take him to get it reversed so they decided it was better to just wait for him to get here, get a teacher to sort it out. Now back OFF!" He snapped, feeling his own tail twitching where it was hidden. He stiffened though at the sound of a familiar voice. Looking up at Kaito, he was still snarling a little, his teeth showing, not that he cared much. "That idiot's saying Kitty's got a real tail when he doesn't! It's a jinx we were gonna get the transfiguration teacher to deal with." He explained, still breathing heavily as he attempted, without much luck, to calm down. Turning, Lyo put his hands on Kitty's shoulders, staring anxiously to him. "You alright? You hurt?" He asked softly.

Kaito frowned. He could tell that it was real but he wouldn't say anything. "Well maybe I can help. After you get sorted and you eat come to my room. I'm a new teacher here. I'll help" Kaito smiled sadly. He could tell that they weren't comfortable in the crowed. "How about you two come to the castle with me. Then I can help." Kitty only whimpered and hid his face in Lyo's chest. He didn't wanna look up or say anything. He was scared and embarrassed.

Lyo looked surprised at the offer. However slowly, cautiously he nodded, watching Kaito for a couple of seconds. When nothing happened, he turned back to Kitty, gently stroking the back of his head. "Come on Kitty, Kaito's gonna take us up to the castle, you'll be alright, I'm not letting anyone else hurt you, they'll have to fight past my teeth and claws before going near you." He whispered the last part so the other first years wouldn't hear before gnelty beginning to lead Kitty towards Kaito, ready to follow the new teacher. "What do you teach then?" He asked softly.

"I'm a potions teacher. Well really a student teacher. I came here so I can learn how to teach correctly." Kaito said smiling. Kitty calmed down when he was led away. Kaito slowly started walking to his private boat making sure they weren't far behind. He smiled when Kitty lifted his head. Kitty looked down at his tail and whimpered. "That guy took part of my tail with him....he riped my fur off....I didn't do anything...that wasn't nice..." Kitty wrapped his tail around his stomach then looked up at Lyo. "Thank you....I guess they're not use to nekos..." "Don't worry about that! This year we have other neko's joining our school. You'll be able to walk around without any disguises. Just be yourself," Kaito said smiling.

Lyo smirked faintly at this. They were going to get along well then. He was fairly good at potions, one of the subjects he excelled in actually. He nodded slightly in agreement though "What better place then Hogwarts to learn to teach?" He answered with a smile, keeping an arm protectively around Kitty. Even if Kaito said it was alright to be themselves, he wasn't about to take any chances yet. Although he couldn't help smiling slightly. "Yubi's already done that, never cared if people saw or not, drove some teachers mad I think." He chuckled before leaning in to see Kitty's tail better. "The fur should grow back, does it hurt a lot?" He asked, reaching out to brush the tail very gently. He didn't need thanks, Lyo would have gladly gone and fought against the idiot boy who had hurt Kitty.

Kitty nodded a little. "It's just really sensitive...from you know who..." Kitty didn't really wanna go around telling people he was hurt or abused. Kaito only smiled. "Don't worry Kitty. I'll get you guys there before the others. Then you'll be sorted and I'm sure your house wont be pulling on your tail or anything." Kitty calmed down fully then relaxed against Lyo. He was getting really tired. Kaito noticed and only smiled. "Come on you two. Climb in." Kitty slowly climbed in then pulled off his hat. He really did hate wearing it. He reached out a hand for Lyo. He didn't like being far from his side.

Lyo nodded, moving his hands back so he wouldn't touch the tail again. His nod was also to show he knew exactly who Kitty was talking about, and he was glad that Kaito had spoken again, distracted him. Unlike Kitty, he kept his had firmly placed on his head, his tail was still hidden. He had more then enough of a reason not to trust any stranger at the moment. Gently stepping into the boat, Lyo stiffened when it rocked a little before he sat down, smiling to Kitty as he took the hand reaching out to him. "Unless we go in slytherin, that's mean to have a load of bad wizards and witches." Lyo pointed out after Kaito's comment about pulling tails.

((I'm gonna go, need to get some sleep ^^))

Kitty laid his head in Lyo's lap. Kaito smiled as he got in. He started up the boat then slowly started it towards the school. "Don't fall asleep little neko." Kaito said when he noticed Kitty's eyes were closed. It was a little too late. Kitty was just so tired. He hadn't slept much the night before and for once he felt safe. "He really trusts you doesn't he?" Kaito asked smiling more. He thought Kitty was so cute.

((otay ^^ Night night~!))

Lyo smiled down at Kitty, one hand gently stroking the back of his head, occasionaly scratching behind his ears. He really was like a little kitten, it made Lyo smile warmly. Glancing up at Kaito, he shrugged a little. Lyo didn't mind if Kitty decided to fall asleep on him, he wasn't too heavy anyway. "I guess...Don't know why though..." He muttered, not looking at Kaito anymore. "How come you're helping us?" Lyo finally voiced the suspicions he had been thinking.

"Because I'm like you." Kaito said simply then smiled. "I'm also a Neko. I just choose to hid it. I don't like when others make fun of me." Kitty purred loudly when behind his ears were scratched. He loved being pet there. He snuggled into his lap a bit as he smiled. Kaito shook his head a little at Kitty. "Well there the school is," he said as they got closer. "The way I take we don't run into anything and we get her pretty quickly."

Lyo stared up at Kaito in surprise as he frowned, attempting to see if what he said was actually true or not. Finally though he sighed and nodded. "I know what you mean..." He mumbled before blushing more as he stiffened when Kitty snuggled into his lap. It wasn't that it was uncomfortable or anything, he just felt suddenly awkward, but didn't move. "Th-that's good. What house are you a part of by the way?" He asked, suddenly curious as he leant a little side ways, trying to see more details of the school that was getting far closer now.

Kaito smiled. "Griffindor," he said as Kitty woke up. He couldn't sleep with people talking around him. He sleepily sat up then yawned loudly. He rubbed his eyes as he whimpered. He just wanted to sleep. Kaito smiled when they finally reached land. "I have to go on ahead. You two wait for the others. I don't want you wandering off now though. I don't want you getting lost."

Lyo's eyes brightened a little when Kaito said that. He was pretty sure Griffindor was the house he wanted to go into. It had been either Griffindor or Ravenclaw, and since his sister was in the latter house, it really only left one option. Glancing down, he smiled warmly at Kitty, ruffling the other's hair as he sat up. "Did you have a nice sleep?" He asked before nodding to Kaito and carefully getting out of the boat, careful not to get even the slightest bit wet. Just because he liked being on boats didn't mean he liked getting wet. Glancing back to Kitty, Lyo offered his hands to help the other out.

Kaito smiled at them then quickly left. Kitty yawned then shook his head. "Still sleepy..." he mumbled then looked up. He smiled up at Lyo. He took his hand as he climbed out. "Thank you." He stretched a bit then sleepily scratched at his ears. He leaned against Lyo a bit. "So....what are we doing now?" He didn't really paying any attention to Kaito.

He chuckled when Kitty took his hand to get out of the boat. "I'm sure you'll get a good sleep tonight, the beds should be amazing here!" He laughed as he wrapped an arm around Kitty to make sure he wouldn't trip. "I think he said something about waiting here? Not really sure..." He laughed, looking sheepish.

((Sorry for short post ><))

((tis fine ^^))

Kitty leaned against Lyo as he looked around. He was surprised he'd get a bed. "I've...never really slept in a bed before..." Kitty said as he looked up. He smiled happily. "You're so nice to me..." He purred softly as he looked around. "I kinda don't wanna wait....but I don't know where we're going....um....what do you wanna do?"

Lyo glanced down at Kitty with a puzzled expression for a couple of seconds before he broke back into an easy grin. "Well then, you'll just have to get used to sleeping in one now!" He chuckled brightly. Blushing darkly, Lyo looked quickly away in an attempt to hide it from Kitty. "If you're up to it, we can always try to find our way round, how about it?" He suggested, looking suddenly excited.

Kitty smiled happily when he saw him blush. "I guess I will...unless I sleep on the bottom of your bed in my kitten form," he smiled more as he talked. "I think looking around will be cool!" His tail swayed happily. He was really excited to have Lyo with him. He didn't think he'd be having this much fun without him. He giggled then looked around. "He look! I see the other...boats..." Kitty's smile faded as he pulled his tail close to his body. "I don't want that guy getting a hold of my tail again...He really pulled hard...and it hurt...."
