I caught up to Tizzy quickly, and walked next to her for a moment. I sighed. "I'm sorry for snapping at you." I said, and fell silent, waiting for her to respond.

She ignored me, and I jumped in front of her, walking backwards. "Aloha? Are you ignoring me? I didn't mean to be rude. Forgive me?" I shifted into a kitten again, and weaved between her ankles.

She smirked, unable to hold back a smile. "Dammit, I'm trying to be angry at you... Gr." She growled in obviously falsified anger.

I shifted and laughed. "Sorry. I'm just adorable naturally." I grinned.

She sighed. "Please shut your mouth."

"Make me." I laughed.

She grabbed my collar, and put me up against the wall. I smirked, and went to talk again. She pulled me down to her height, and kissed me roughly, surprising me slightly.

I relaxed into it, and wrapped my arms around her waist. She pulled back. "Damn you..." She sighed.

"Sorry. I'm just aw-"

She silenced me again, and I smiled against her lips, before switching our position, pressing her against the wall. I picked her up, and her legs wrapped around my waist, while my tongue explored her mouth.

She finally submitted, and I pulled back. "Mm. That was nice... Now do you forgive me?" I asked smugly.

She laughed lightly. "You're such an ASS!" She smacked me playfully.

"It's a gift." I shrugged, and nipped her ear gently.

She gasped, and pushed my shoulders. I immediately backed off, one eyebrow raised. She blushed. "We're not screwing against a wall, let me down." She muttered, her entire normally pale face blazing red.

I smiled and let her down. "Mm. Wasn't planning on it, honestly. We've known each other for what, a week? Hm. You started it." I smirked.

She blushed again, and covered her face. "Shut up." She mumbled.

I snickered, and patted her ass. "Now go to bed, hmm?  You have classes tomorrow, as do I."

She squealed, and jumped away, covering her ass protectively. She glared at me. "You... Gr."

"Don't growl at me, kitten." I smiled, sharpening my teeth. Then I kissed her nose swiftly and patted her ass again, just because I liked it. "Go on."

She smiled and skipped away happily. I turned to walk back to my room, grinning, and a laughing voice sounded next to me.

"Well then. Quite the Druk, hmm?" I looked over. I was apparently in front of Jazz's room, and she was leaning against her doorframe.

"What's that word mean?" I asked.

"Bastard." She translated simply.

"What've I done to be called a Bastard?" I asked, one eyebrow up.

"Nearly doing a woman against the wall of another woman who wants you's room." She shook her head lightly, smiling.

I tilted my head. "I didn't know it was your room, nor that you wanted me, and I definitely didn't count on her putting me against a wall. I won't pretend I didn't like it, though." I shrugged.

She laughed gently. "Not very observant, hmm?"

"I just focus too acutely on whatever I'm doing." I shrugged.

She nodded. "Makes sense. She's cute, though... I wouldn't mind watching." She winked.

I laughed. "Oh? You're cute, too, you know. I wouldn't mind watching, if she liked..." I leaned against her doorframe.

She snorted. "Oh, you're charming, hmm? Maybe. She's definitely cute enough... And we both know Cats are not monogamous..."

"No, we are not... But we are passionate." I grinned saucily.

She smirked. "Alright, that's enough out of you. Either come in here and screw me or go on back to your project, no more banter for tonight." She shoo'ed me.

I smiled and slowly stepped forward into her territory.

I stretched, grinning, and pulled on my clothes from last night. Jazz mewed softly and stretched in her feline form, then shifted and fell onto the bed, her long brown hair looking almost red in the morning sunlight, and her pale skin was perfectly shaded with the shadows.

I smiled and patted her ass, standing. She mewed playfully, and ran her nails down my hip.

I grinned and kissed her nose. "Morning. Get up, classes."

"I dun wanna..." She whimpered, and rolled into the sunlight patch on the bed, and stretched, laying there to sunbathe.

I laughed and shook my head. "Lazy kitten."

"You're not tired?"

"A little. Leopards are Nocturnal." I sighed, and then pulled on my shirt, then my pants. I wrapped my yellow sash, and then looked in her full body mirror, noticing my hair was still messy.

I fixed my hair, and nodded. "Better." I cracked my neck and started to leave, before looking back. I sighed. "... Damn my animal instincts..." I bounced onto the bed, rolling over her, and Jazz caught me, kissing me playfully.

We rolled around for a little while, and I heard the Bell, saying the first class was in an hour.

I sighed and patted her ass. "Up, let's go."

She grumbled, but I pushed her off the bed, grinning, and she shifted. She hissed at me and then shifted back. "Dammit..." She started getting dressed, and I helped, lacing her boots, just because I wanted to.

She hummed and leaned against my shoulder as I did her laces. "Mm... You enjoy taking care of your women?" She asked.

"I do." I kissed her collarbone, standing up. "Now, class. Let's go, Kitty." I grinned.

She fake-hissed at me, and started out of the door, her hips twitching seductively. She was obviously preening, like a pleased cat.

I walked out behind her, and then went to my room for a quick shower and change of clothes. I stepped out of my room, drying my hair, and then dodged around someone who was running full tilt. She skidded to a stop, and smiled. I recognized Tizzy, and smiled. "Where are you running to, kitten?"

She laughed. "To see you, actually! You're always sleeping in." She hummed sternly.

"I am nocturnal." I say dryly.

She smiled brightly. "I know! But you're up, good. Will you walk me to class?" She asked, her cheeks blushing gently.

I hummed. "Sure thing, kitten." I smiled.

She hummed, her quick mind reaching a conclusion. "You're awfully chipper... Did you enjoy kissing me that much?" She asked, smiling smugly, turning and walking down the halls.

"A little. And Jazz was a great playmate." I hummed, walking with her.

"Jazz? Who's that? One of your Familiar's?" She asked, curious.

"Hmm? No, no. A Shifter friend. A Tigress." I said.

"Oh. You... Played? I'm confused?" She seemed torn.

"About what? Oh, and she offered to watch and/or be watched, with you, if you ever feel like it." I shrugged.

She stopped walking, making the connections. "Wait... Like, sex? She offered to watch you and me, and then you could watch me and her?" She asked incredulously.

"That was the gist, yes." I nodded. "We have classes, come on." I urged her.

"Wait... So... You 'played' with her?"

I hummed. "Ahh, she said you might be angry with me or hurt. I don't get it, really. Yes, I was rather excited after you put me against the wall, and she offered to help me calm down. I accepted. Playful intercourse between cats, nothing more. Ah, there she is. Jazz!" I waved.

She slowly stalked over, her body roiling like a taut wire. "Hello, Caleb. Ah, the cute one. Tizzy, yes?" She smiled at Tizzy, who was frozen solid.

I hummed and snapped my fingers. "Is she okay, do you think?"

"Shock, most likely. She'll be fine." Jazz shrugged. She hummed, and then leaned forward, kissing Tizzy's nose. "Wake up, cutie, we have classes to go to."

Tizzy finally moved, and attempted to slap Jazz. Jazz caught her hand easily and leaned closer, their bodies flush against one another.

I watched closely, preparing to intervene. Jazz smiled and place her free hand on Tizzy's hip. "I like feisty women, cutie, but if you ever try to slap me anywhere but my ass, ever again, I'll make your death slow and painful. 'Kay?" She kissed Tizzy's lips, and then released her. She looked at me. "She tastes like mint. Mm. Now, classes."

She pulled a distracted Tizzy with her, and we all attended classes, despite Tizzy's dizzy stumbling. She looked drunk, honestly.

---

Eventually we traveled to my dorm room, and I started stripping, preparing for my shower, and cracked my neck slowly.

Jazz leaned against the arched opening to the bathroom, and purred, finally waking Tizzy from her drunken state.

She stood up quickly. "Okay, I need explanations! What the hell is going on? Do you like me, or not, and if so, why are you hanging out with this... This...-"

"Choose your words carefully, feisty Kitten, or they'll be your last." Jazz said softly.

Tizzy paled and sat back down.

Jazz sighed and sat next to her. "Here's the blunt answer. Cats are naturally polygamous. Always. Forever. Tiger males stay for a year or two, and as soon as children are conceived, they leave, their goal accomplished, and find another, younger mate."

"What about Leopards?" She asked slowly.

"Leopards and Lions, they have Harems, made of all the eligible females in their territory. They don't have individual Mates." She started explaining Big Cats's polygamous habits.

(I realize that's not necessarily true, but it's true in this world. In my world, Wild Leopards do the same as Lions, and Make harems of females. This furthers the plot, the part about clan creation. Gotta have lots of kittens for that.)

Eventually, Tizzy understood, mostly. She rubbed her temple. "So basically... He likes both of us?" She asked, trying to clarify.

I stepped out of the shower, and started drying my hair. She Eep'ed and covered her face, peeking between her fingers, and I didn't move. As a cat, I loved the women staring at me. It made me preen, internally.

Jazz stared openly, equally unabashed. "Either cover that up or use it, lover boy..." She purred.

I grinned, and Tizzy stood. "Okay, that's it, I'm not staying in here if you two are going to do it... I can't. I think I can understand the Harem Aspect, I mean, hell, my aunt is a member of the Emperor's harem, so I get it, but I won't watch you two screw."

I shrugged, and Jazz smiled. "Well... I'm more than happy to let you join in..." She slowly wrapped her arms around Tizzy's waist, kissing her neck.

--- 69 Days AD ---

I smiled, relaxing finally after several hours of rough lovemaking. Tizzy had a lot of anger issues to work out, and Jazz was just extremely passionate. Tizzy had been embarrassed as all hells when Jazz undressed, but she quickly warmed to the idea.

I hopped out of the bed, leaving the two naked women cuddling on my bed, and walked over to my desktop. I inserted my DNA password with a prick of my finger, and then my fingerprint. The screen sprang to life, and I started up my globe rendering software.

It was still only 15% complete on the main planet, 12% of that was the Aerial sweep, which was done completely. Roc were big birds, and extremely fast, And with 15 of them in the skies, they were already moved on to the Moon, all but one. The aerial scan was well done, and I grinned at the satellite view of the planet.

"YES!" I jumped for joy.

Tizzy stumbled over and sat in my chair. "Hmm... What's this?"

"A Setellite view of the planet. I made it with a bird Familiar's memories." I laughed.

Jazz gasped. "What?!?" She rushed over, and sat on Tizzy, looking at the 3D globe. "Holy Shit... How did you do this?" She looked at me expectantly.

"One of the things Tern taught me was how to look through my Familiar's memories. So, I went through the memories of the random multitudes of creatures I have exploring, all over the world, and then pieced it together mentally. At the moment, some part of my psyche is collecting Intel, and adding it to the map." I shrugged.

She whistled slowly. "That's insane... And, to think, you know almost nothing about magic."

"Yes, but I'm extremely knowledgable about technology." I shrugged.

The moon started rendering next to Terra on the hologram, and I grinned. "Yessss!" I watched it avidly, and then got impatient. I entered Gambit's mind, and gasped.

My 15 Roc traveled intelligently. 3 tiers of 5 birds, arrow formations, one over the next and the next, staggered to provide three different views and distance perspectives.

The moon was beautiful, and seeing as my Birds didn't need oxygen, they were capable of flying in space. Roc flew using magic, not the wind, therefore they could fly just about anywhere. The Sun would be a no-go, however. Yeah, fiery ball of fire would definitely kill my roc and, possibly, me.

I was shaken back into my body, and I glared at Tizzy. "Never take a Shifter out of his familiar by force." Jazz reprimanded her before I said anything.

"Sorry, you looked like you were in pain." She muttered.

"I was on the moon... It was beautiful." I smiled. I looked at the 3D render, and laughed. "There it is... Wow. Alright... Well, I know that's working. Good. Then I don't have to worry about them... How about Sami?" I accessed James' mind, and was shocked out of it. "Oh! Okay, I didn't need to see my naked mother, what the hell?!? Ew." I shuddered.

Jazz laughed. "Bad timing?"

"She's bathing in a waterfall. I'll never get that image out of my mind." I shivered.

Tizzy smirked. "Your fault."

"True, I suppose." I sighed. "Alright... What about Sandi?" I connected to one of my snakes that was staking out the Rift, and slithered back to the village.

I entered the Healers tent, and hummed, disconnecting, after seeing Sandi tying Chief Sebel to the bed frame, a sexy smirk on her features. "Another something I could've gone without seeing. Okay." I shook myself.

"What this time?" Jazz asked.

"Sandi, the healer who fixed my throat... Apparently she's a Dom, and Chief Sebel is her bitch. I didn't need that knowledge... Ahem. I think I'm done checking in on people, actually..." I shuddered.

"I think that's wise." She nodded.
