Clipped Wings(Yugiri/Rio)

"Are you kiddin? Yugs is an awesome cat name!" Rio exclaimed as she guided Yugiri into the estate. If Yugiri's pet wasn't outside, then perhaps it was inside where cats were easily known to hide in the strangest of places. She went towards the kitchen and begins searching around for where the cat might be.

Looking through each cabinet, she hadn't yet found the cat but she was not going to let herself be deterred. She had already gotten this far, might as well find the little guy, right? Once it seemed like the kitchen didn't yield the results she wanted, Rio exited and went further into the Shihoin estate.


She would repeat the routine of looking through each room, checking under beds, and under tables, all in the hope of finding her beloved cousin's cat.

Rummaging through cabinet after cabinet, furiously throwing dish after dish out from its collective place, Rio maintained every bit of focus she could to find Yugiri's cat. It was a blessing to know that most of the dishes she threw in such a haphazard fashion were fortified with reishi.

None of them were breaking as they landed, even though the servants were clearly disappointed with Rio's sheer lack of care or grace towards the estate. They'd clean it up, anyway. For now, all that mattered was finding a cat. Yugiri's cat, to be exact.

Just as she was starting to get the idea that the cat might not be here, she heard a faint meow from one of the cupboards in the kitchen and slowly moved towards it, opening it in hopes that this would be the cat Yugiri was looking for and not one of the Shihoin clan members playing a prank or something.

Truly, seeing Yugiri's tearful face filled with happiness made Rio's heart beat with joy watching her sister celebrate cat Yugiri's appearance. How that cat could hide in such odd places was beyond her but nevertheless, the three-legged companion had been found and Yugiri was happy. Walking over to join in on her blissful mirth, Rio petted the cat's head as she chuckled happily.


"No need to thank me, Yugiri-chan! Hoho! We found her together, yeah?" Rio smiled as she patted Yugiri's shoulder and gazed around, eager to celebrate with a meal as she said she would earlier.


"You two hungry? I'm starvin' for some grub."

Rio chuckled as she grabbed Yugiri and set her properly onto her wheelchair, placing the cat comfortably within her lap. Rio then gazed around the kitchen as she tapped her chin. Should she make something on her own or let the servants be of use? Well, at least she'd serve the cat first. Poor kid' must of have been hungry after being cooped up in the cupboard for so long. Rio reached up to one of the cabinets as she opened the door and brought a bowl towards Yugiri and her cat. She placed the bowl down and prepared cat food any house cat would envy. Nutritious and meaty. After doing so, Rio turned to Yugiri curiously and wondered what she wanted to eat.


"So the cat's got some grub'. What do you want to eat, Yugiri-chan~?"

Rio smiled as she nodded happily before returning to the kitchen. She collected a few ingredients from the cupboard and the fridge and quickly set about her business. It wasn't anything entirely complicated. It would be a homemade pot of ramen with the right amount of content. Of course, ramen took some time to prepare so she had turned on the heater and started preparing her broth while she chopped the ingredients into small portions. Turning to Yugiri, she inquired about her day out of curiosity. Just some casual conversation into the food was ready.

"So cat anxiety aside, how was your day, Yugiri-chan?"
