Liam looked at Neko and Katsuki.
"Explain." Was all Liam said.

Neko sighed. "I saw him again..."

"Him? Who...?" Liam asks.

"Drake..." Neko responds. Katsuki was resting his head on her lap while she explained. Their tails were intertwined. "I saw him when I was going shopping. I had everything I needed and I was about to come back when he suddenly pulled me into an alleyway... I saw old chains on the ground and I immediately knew which alley way he pulled me into..." Neko said quietly.

Liam continues to look at her, wanting her to continue.

"He...... He was the one who put the shock collar on me. He threatened to hurt me and Katsuki if I didn't come with him. So I turned into my lion form to push him off of me and then I ran as fast as I could towards the house. Once I got to the house I saw Shoto... and Katsuki.....
I'm sure you can figure out everything from there..." Neko explains.

Liam nods his head in thought. "Is it possible that Shoto and Drake collaborated together..." Liam asks.

"It could very much be possible... but you know me Liam... I don't like to assume..." Neko responds as she brushes her hand through Katsuki's hair.

"I also know that you like to see the good in everyone.... which is why you didn't let Shoto die and is also why you let him get away... It's also why you let your ex get away with what he did to you..." Liam mumbles.

"Hey! It's not my fault I have a pure heart! That Shoto guy probably had past problems... Maybe he had a reason for his abusiveness..? Who knows maybe his parents abused him... Which is why I let him go... Besides... I could tell that he regret what he did..." Neko said, her voice rising slightly causing Katsuki to flinch. Neko quickly calmed down as she gently rubbed her tail against Katsuki's to calm him down.

Liam went silent... "We should probably treat his wounds..." Liam says, refering to the bruises and wounds that Katsuki had on him.

"...Yeah.. Can you get the herbs and water for me...?" Neko asked Liam.

Liam gave her a soft smile. "Of course M'Lady~" He said as he left to grab the stuff she asked for. Once he came back with the stuff Katsuki was sitting down infront of Neko.. his back facing her with his shirt pulled up... There were multiple cuts and bruises on his back.

Neko grabbed the rag that Liam gave her then dipped it in the herb water.
"This might hurt... but please know that I'm trying really hard to not hurt you..." Neko says softly to Katsuki.

Katsuki simply whimpered as his reply.

Neko slowly placed the rag on his skin and starts letting the rag soak up and dry blood. She gently cleaned off his wounds.
Katsuki whimpered... tears threatening to fall.

"I'm almost done... I promise..." Neko said. Once she finished Liam handed her some bandages.
Neko gently wrapped the bandages around his wounds.
"There." Neko said.

Katsuki looked at the bandages confused... moving around slightly then whimpering.

"Hey... Shhh it's okay... They bandages make sure your wounds don't open up again. I know they may feel uncomfortable..." Neko spoke softly.

Katsuki turned to face her, putting his shirt back down, then nuzzles her, intertwining his tail with hers. He rested his head in the crook of her neck as he nuzzles into her, creating a wolfish purring sound. He nuzzles her, releasing his sent onto her. His sent was a minty forest smell.

Neko purred in sync with him, their tails still intertwined. Katsuki wrapped his tail around both of them, pulling her close.
Neko blushed intensely at this. She felt her face heat up as she felt his extremely soft tail wrapped around her.

"Wouldn't it be more comfortable if we laid on the bed or couch instead of the ground....?" Neko asks him.... because they were on the ground.

Katsuki stayed silent for a few moments before huffing and getting off of her.
Neko simply smiled as she led him to her bedroom then laid on the bed.
Katsuki laid down next to her and once again wrapped his tail around the both of them.

Liam watched as they went to Neko's room. Liam no longer has a smile on his face. He sat on the couch, his knees tucked close to his chest as he curled up into a ball. He stared down at the ground... His eyes seemed so distant..... He felt his heart ache. It hurt... It hurt to see the girl of his dreams be right infront of him yet all he did was smile...

He needed to make a move.. He just didn't know when and how...
