Akio stood on the patio and looked around outside when he did see the black cat but didnt care for it much really, he just stood there and held the snow flakes falling from the sky in his hands and looking up to the sky, beginning to hum a little tune he did eariler in his room.

Mei paused in the snow once he saw Akio, stepping backwards into the trees again for a moment. Though weak enough it was difficult he transformed back to a she and stumbled from the tree line to catch up to Jack. She shivered a little, still thinking of how intensely her body had reacted to him…this could be a problem…Meh he thought of her as a sister so would keep his physical distance most likely, that would prevent the dragon from making her do anything foolish….

Seeing clearly the face, well, muzzle, of a panther, Mizuki gasped softly in surprise as she peered out the window. He was a handsome feline indeed. She watched the shadowy form in curiousity, but making sure her cloak and mask hid her face well.

][jack wears a mask. -blinku- did you see his picture? Catboy image by WUnicorn on Photobucket well..at least when he's not in cat form he wears the mask. Every piece of clothing he wears, are only there to hide his scars. ][

((oh I do, but she saw the cat, not a face...she just called it a face before correcting herself..muzzle..sorry ^^; ))

][well I know that. I was just saying...when he turns back to human form....well..when he turns back he'd be naked..-snickers- Hm.][

((Why am I not surprised? hehe..should be...interesting))

Jack just sat there, a few feet away from the patio, staring at Akio for a bit before he glanced at Mei. The now female Mei, but Jack didn't mind. For a moment he shivered, just a light shiver. He really was ready to change back..but..his clothing...were up in the bedroom. Jack's eyes were on Mei and the cat seemed to be frowning a bit.

Mizuki watched Aiko and the panther, wondering what they were thinking of each other. Slowly sitting back at her table so as not to be caught staring at anyone, the young woman began to sip her cocoa, ocassionally glancing in the direction of the feline.

Mei watched him a moment and she could see he was unhappy. “what?” She murmured though she knew he couldn’t answer her, waving him towards the side of the building he wouldn’t likely be seen from. She then began to walk towards it too so maybe he could find a way to tell her what was wrong… hopefully other then going humanish and naked again as she was having trouble enough getting the image out of her head….

Akio stood there huming his tune when he noticed that Jack and Mei seemed a bit worried at each other, he just seemed to think they needed some bit of privacy so he just walked back inside still huming his little tune. He sat back down at his table and closed his eyes to get a little rest.

"How is she?" said the soft alto voice from behind Akio, a slight tilt of her head in a questioning gesture.

A low growl and he had grabbed the leg of Mei's pants with his teeth to stop her from walking around the building. Shaking his head a bit as he let go of the pants. He had been careful not to rip them. It didn't matter, there was only Mei there now..so he could change here..and being naked. Well, that had never really bothered the nekojin before..he just..the scars on his face. The big cat frowned deeply and turned his back to Mei as he started the change.

Bones cracked and popped and snapped and the fur seemed to go into his skin, in a minute Jack stood there. Naked. Completely naked, the scars on his forearms exposed, the scars on his butt and thighs completely exposed..as well as that jagged scar that went completely around his neck. And..the scars above and below his lips..as if someone had sewn them closed before..but..He raised a hand to cover his mouth before turning to face Mei. His long tail curling around his right thigh lightly. "I'ma go get a glass of milk.." Jack started for the door. Keeping that one hand over his lips.

Akio hadnt turned around and kept his eyes closed. "Why dont you go ask her? I didnt say anything to her nor did I pay much attention." he said gently then opening his eyes to look back outside, as he sat there.

Mei bit her lip as he pulled at her pant leg, glancing towards him in confusion. As he changed back she blinked, feeling a different kind of heat rise in her then the dragons heat. She looked away quickly, trying not to watch as he walked back inside. “and……. I’ma go lay in the snow…” She muttered, turning her back to him as she felt her body start to shift back to its male form. Mumbling curses she went to the deserted side of the building and fell back into the snow…already a he by the time He hit the icy substance. For a moment he sighed, seeming to relax until…”Damn it…” he repeated.

((*falls over laughing at her own character* poor little Mei))

The Nekojin entered the inn rather unconcernedly. He was naked..so what? The cat ears atop his head twitched slightly as he heard Akio's voice and his nose twitched as he caught scent of another person. Jack hardly glanced towards them as he moved towards the bar, keeping that one hand over his lips. Ordering a glass of milk from the rather nervous looking barkeeper who rather quickly brought it to him. Jack turned a bit, his eyes dancing over the room and stopping on the cloaked female that was close to Akio for a moment, before he moved his hand a bit to down that glass of milk. Still that hand was positioned so if they looked at him, the scars on his lips were well hidden.

Mizuki looked quizically at Akio. "You payed her much attention..miss..Angil? You were taking care of her..How is she?" she asked, turning at the sound of someone entering the door.

She froze.

It was a nekojin, and..a naked one at that. She was grateful for the cloak and mask over her face, otherwise, there would be no hiding how cherry red her face was at the moment. Trying to ignore the man, she bit her lip to not squeek in embarassment.

Mei sighed, not having the energy to shift again even if he wanted to as he’d already sent to long in his female form the past few weeks so his body was not going to cooperate. Mumbling more curses to himself as he closed his eyes and pilled the snow around him. He focused on the cold, determined not to go inside until he was sure Jack was dressed. Stupid dragon…making his body and emotions so much stronger then they would have been otherwise.

The scent of..maybe another Nekojin. He wasn't sure but Jack smiled, though that smile was hidden behind his hand as he watched the female for a few moments. Briefly wondering at her breed, but then he had set that empty milk glass down on the bartop and was making his way back outside. Once there, it didn't take him long to figure out where Mei had gone. He could just follow the footprints..and scent.

He stood over a snow covered Mei. "What're you doing, aniki?"

Akio had heard Mizuki and realized now that she wasnt talking rather about Mei, but of Angil. He still didnt want to turn around as he kept looking at the snow fall outside. "She is sleeping peacefully....I'm not sure when she will wake up..." he said as he picked up the empty cup when he was drinking tea and brought it back to the bartender without paying much attention towards Jack walking away.

Sikura looked around for Jack and Mei before sighing and packing her bag. Her eyes went to her cloak as she wrapped her wings around her body and locked her door. She walked over to the bar and blushed as she saw Jack naked. The tenshi walked over to the barkeeper and gave the key to her room back. It was time for her to go.

"I see...sorry to pry..I seem to do that a lot as of late..." she murmured. Standing up, she went back to her own table. "I should let you be then I suppose." the hanyou nodded with a nod of the head, trying to push the sudden image of a naked nekojin out of her mind's eye.

Mei looked up, opening his eyes as Jack grew closer. He groaned a bit in annoyance, having almost got his body…limp when Jack showed up nude and ruined that. “Nothing…” He responded with an aggrieved sigh, picking up some snow and throwing it at him. “Go away…” He muttered as he closed his eyes again, covering his face with one hand in annoyance.

Jack grinned a bit wolfishly. He could still smell the pheromones that emitted from Mei and could only guess at why. "Gomen, aniki." There was a hint of fear in his eyes though, but..he trusted Mei. "Should I go get dressed, then?" Jack didn't really wait for a response as he turned from Mei and started back towards the Inn. Entering it again, with that hand over his scarred lips. He blinked as his eyes caught sight of Sikura. He smiled lightly.

Mizuki stopped all movement in shock once more. What the hell was this nekojin trying to do?! Her face burned deep crimson under her cloak, being extremely unfamiliar with the sight of a naked male. Shaking her head, she forced herself to ignore him..or try to.
