Kyoko Mogami was clearly upset. The wolfish hound lowered his head and whimpered appeasingly to Kyouko. She was playing Setsuka Hill and it was a relatively simple story as to why she got here with a pet. Kyouko was working at Love Me one day when a giant Komondor dog knocked her over. She had to spend the whole day keeping him in check and when she went to the president he told her the dog was hers.

It was a Love Me assignment and the dog needed a temporary home as it was being trained for show business. Kyouko could, if at the end of the assignment, chose whether to keep the dog or give him away. And so with a 127 pound dog standing at almost three feet tall it accompanied her home. This also so happened to be one of those days Setsuka spent at her brother's house.

"Drop it." she glowered at the dog who almost immediately released the bunched-up fabric from it's mouth. Little had Kyouko known that all throughout the day the hound had been gathering her lingerie and dropping it off at Cain's footsteps. He had modestly tucked it into Setsuka's clothes basket, but enough was enough.

Kyouko dive-bombed her private clothing but the dog had already scooped it up and tore off with the bundle in his mouth. The pair chased around the apartment when the dog spotted Ren sitting in the corner smoking. He ran up and Kyouko's mouth formed a giant-O in shock. Ren opened his eyes just when the dog dropped the present into his lap.

"Good Boy," he gave the dog a rough pat on the head before lightly shoving him off of his knee.

"Do. Not. Encourage. Him," Kyouko could have just died in embarrassment then and there. The dog slunk off to hide in a spot of the apartment she had yet to find.

"If I scolded him he'd have run around all day with your clothing in his mouth," he sighed heavily, "Sister, do you really want that to happen."

"No," she resigned. "But it feels to me like you actually enjoy this behavior."

"Of course not," he reassured her. And she widened her eyes a little, not impressed and definitely not reassured.

"I never knew having a dog could be so tough," she complained and looked him in the eyes. "Brother comfort me."

He leaned over to put out the cigarette and watched his sister scowl at the fact he was smoking. He patted his knees and she sat down on them and leaned against his chest. When she had settled herself completely he smiled and stroked her hair, "Good girl." He murmured.

"So now I'm a dog?" she asked and jumped when Cain pinched her side.

"Nope you're my sister. My lap is only reserved for one person." he smiled lightly and started rubbing her shoulders.

'It is only you who I would do this with. But I can't say this to her,'

"And that's me!" She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Kyouko was still in recovery over the last episode but Setsuka would remain calm and composed. Heck, she'd probably tease him more that she had. "now and forever." She closed her eyes and they remained in that position for a while.

Ren wasn't going to move an inch. He was happy in this position but a shadow approached from the corner of his eye. He lifted his gaze challengingly at the dog who responded with a wolfish grin.

'You wouldn't' Ren thought.

The dog started howling and yipped which startled Kyouko. She glanced up to see the Komondor go through it latest episode. He looked pathetic which tugged at her heart-strings; so getting off of Ren's lap she approached the dog.

"I'm sorry Cain but it looks like he needs to go outside. I'm taking him on a walk because I don't think he's been outside for a while." she patted the dog subconsciously and made her way to the door. Before she could pick up the leash Ren was at her side and grabbed it before she could.

"Sit," he commanded and the dog gave out a bark which could only be interpreted as a laugh. He sat down and scratched at his collar making it difficult for Ren to hook it against him.

'Don't think I'll let you hog her to yourself, lucky Bastard!' he thought angrily as he stood up.

"It's not that late out, Brother you should stay and rest; I'd be back in fifteen minutes tops to make dinner."

"Setsu," he interrupted, "how could I let a girl go out this late. Not only that but we barely know this dog. What if something goes wrong and you need help. I'm coming with." Ren knew the dog was well behaved and the dog glowered at the suggestion that he'd go out of his way to trouble Kyouko; however, the dog couldn't talk to defend himself so it was agreed that Ren would tag along.

They had just made it outside when the dog veered off course causing the leash to tangle with Ren's legs and subsequently making him fall. The dog jumped on him playfully and started licking his face while Kyouko stood horrified. "Cain!" she pulled the dog off him and helped him up. Meanwhile the dog sat down right at her side and acted like the world's most innocent dog. Cain who had initially been holding the leash relinquished it to Kyoko. When he was helped up she kept the leash and they went off walking the dog.

It was comical to see a giant aggressive man walking with a drop-dead gorgeous lady; but the cherry on top had to be the equally-as-big overgrown mop that practically pranced right at the woman's side. For the rest of the walk he was on his best behavior so that when they had gotten back to the house, they had forgotten to be careful. The dog entered the house followed by Ren and Kyouko when he suddenly turned around and lunged at Ren. The man was just switching to his household slippers when he was sent rolling forward by the dog who fled to his hiding place.

Ren swore and took off after the dog while Kyouko prepared dinner in the kitchen. The apartment was lively as the dog would now and then appear only to disappear just as quickly. He had even braved coming into the kitchen a couple of times to receive attention from Kyouko. After dinner was cooked the dog magically appeared again at her side but Ren had given up a while ago. He was sitting on the couch glowering at the dog.

"Has that mean man been harassing you all day," Kyouko laughed and ruffled the dogs corded coat. "Well you deserve a reward then, time for your dinner." She walked over to the supplies that the President had given her and measured out the dogs food. He danced and twirled at her feet before she set his food in a bowl on the floor and joined Ren for dinner.

"It seems to me you actually enjoy this behavior" he motioned to the dog as Kyouko served their food.

"Perhaps" she grinned widely.
