Autumn passed, leaving bare branches and trees, each of the crowded winds blowing through the streets with drizzling rains.

The cold weather also made Aoi's health somewhat weaker. Sniffing her red nose, she took a quick step on the slippery road, forming splattering puddles.

Ah, let's go home.

The rain was still non-stop, fall down on the pale green canopy that made funny sounds of splitting, the streets were still full of people. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure in a flimsy uniform squatting in a small alley by the side of the road. If one did not look closely, no one would notice such a narrow, dark alley, even it was covered with thick bushes, which were planted as ornamental.

Hashibira Inosuke, is he crazy?

Let's not talk about taking a shower in this weather, how could he be dressed in a weatherproof room under the temperature of 20 Celsius without freezing to death?

Each step of her foot as if being controlled, approached the back of the boy, slightly tilted the umbrella to help him somewhat raindrops cold. Because of that, Aoi also clearly saw the object being obscured by his large body.

A few kittens, put in a cardboard box.

They were just as wet as Inosuke, softly making a pitiful meow and then rubbing their small head against the hand that was caressing them. When Inosuke saw the pouring rain no longer pouring on his head, he realized that someone was standing behind him, and turned slightly. The girl with two pigtails fixed with a bow tie, her small body wrapped in a soft sweater, her face was cold to the blush.

Well, it looks like the wish has come true.

Although he didn't want to say a word, Inosuke still expected someone to come, because of him to gave up their umbrella, worried or angry because of him.

- What the hell are you doing?

Aoi scowled at the wet boy still squatting beside her. If he bored of living, he can take sleeping pills, jump over or cut your hands, make sure you accomplish your goals in the blink of an eye, but why use this both uncomfortable and persistent method. She wanted to say a few more teachings but when she saw Inosuke stand up, a tall body approached, gently locked her on his arms, the beautiful face also followed that and pressed against the warm neck of her.

- They are very similar to me

Aoi froze for a moment. Yes, indeed they are very different at one point, both kittens and Inosuke, they are ...

They don't have mother.

If she dared to tell her to not hurt right now, it was a lie, a blatant lie.

The cold air that came through Inosuke's embrace made Aoi tremble a little, trying to prevent the feeling of sneezing, she wrapped her arms behind the boy's back, patting steadily

- It's okay, you have me

At an angle where Aoi could not see, the corners of the boy's mouth were slightly lifted up into a beautiful smile that never appeared on his face before.

On rainy days, the wind is cold but the heart is strangely warm.
