6: Lost

Based on a prompt by the-moondust-writings.tumblr.com

"I was lost, but then I realized, but was I really? Aren't we all lost in life, and if we are all lost in life wouldn't that mean that-."

"How drunk are you?" Kira interrupted in a composed voice, her serious gaze fixed at Gouenji.

"Drunk?Wha-? I am not drunk at all!" Gouenji looked at her with wide eyes and then squinted the next moment. Kira could tell his vision was blurry.

"And for the record, you weren't lost, you just forgot the way out of the bar. Endou told me everythin-oh wait! Why am I explaining this to you now? It's not like you are in a condition to understand." Kira's response turned into a monologue as she got up to bring him some coffee.

"NO!WAIT! 'You' don't understand. What I am saying is..... we are all so lost..." Gouenji's voice muffled down as Kira reached into the kitchen.

Ten minutes later Kira emerged with two mugs of coffee in her hands but upon reaching the living room, she was met with surprise. Gouenji was nowhere to be found and the front door was open.

"Oh no." Kira muttered and she hastily put the mugs down and followed.

...

After twenty minutes, Kira returned sans Gouenji and immediately flopped down on the couch. She was utterly worried and was about to call Endou when suddenly she heard a 'thud' against the front door. She quickly rushed and opened the door resulting in Gouenji stumbling in with a jerk and almost falling over her.

"Look at this." Gouenji began before Kira could react, as he held up a kitten up to Kira's eye-level, "I found a lion cub. Can you believe it?" He seemed proud of his findings.

"Where did you find this kitten?!" Kira asked looking at the kitten, who seemed scared and therefore was meowing meekly.

"Clear your glasses Kira this is a lion cub not a kitten." Gouenji replied, "And it's mine now." He settled down on the couch while bringing the kitten close to him and started petting him.

Kira rolled her eyes and went to keep away the coffee mugs she had left on the table. She was in no mood to figure out what to do with the kitten just yet. She decided to let it go until everything turns to normal again.

When she returned, she found Gouenji quietly asleep on the couch, the kitten walking all around and over him. Kira couldn't help but snicker at the scene present in front of her. She brought a blanket and silently put it over him and for the kitten, she found a box and gently put him in.

...

"Good morning!" Kira chirped as she settled on the chair near the couch, sipping from a cup of tea and watching Gouenji struggle to get up.

"Shhhhh!!" Gouenji annoyedly gestured her to be quiet as he groggily tried to get up.

"What happened last night?" He barely managed to speak as he rested his head between his hands.

"You found a lion cub." She said the last two words with obvious sarcasm.

"What?!" Gouenji exclaimed and looked up at her. The next moment his face grimaced in pain.

"There he is." Kira pointed at the box with fake enthusiasm, from which the kitten was now peeping out.

"What's a kitten doing here?" He asked.

"Go return him to where he came from." Kira said, ignoring the question.

"But I don't remember anything." Gouenji protested.

"Well good thing it's a sunday and you have the whole day to think about it." Kira replied and walked away.
