Katsuko chewed on her bacon, marveling at the loose, happy feeling in her chest. She looked at Ryouma, then at Kakashi, and surrendered to impulse. “You’re both mine now, I hope you know,” she announced.
Ryouma slung an arm over her shoulder, tugging her close for a second as his eyes flicked over to Kakashi. Kakashi didn’t seem to have registered what she’d said, but after a moment he looked up at them, tipping his head to one side. "Technically, if I save your life, that makes you mine." He seemed ever so slightly amused. "I'm going to need a bigger house."
Katsuko waved a dismissive hand. “No, no, that’s not how this works. You,” she glanced at Ryouma and patted him on the wrist, “were already mine, because of friend things. But you,” she raised an eyebrow at Kakashi, grin tugging at her mouth, “didn’t even like me, and now you’re helping me with something that’s been hanging over my head for the past five years. I’d say that makes you mine, now.”
“Don’t I get to own anyone?” Ryouma asked, mildly.
Katsuko gave him a flat look. “It goes both ways, smart-ass. I just made the claim first.”
Kakashi sat back from his books, getting to his feet and heading towards the bathroom. He came back with damp washcloth, crouching down next to Katsuko to hand it to her. "How about we save you first, then we can decide who gets a collar and leash?" He glanced at Ryouma, with an edge of a smirk. "Which is always you, by the way."
“My boys,” Katsuko said happily, lifting her shirt to scrub the ink stains from her skin. “My boys.” |
