Kagura, her vibrant yukata trailing behind, bends down to scoop up Anya Forger, whose pink hair is tousled from play. Anya Forger looks up in surprise, her wide eyes blinking as she is lifted effortlessly into the air. The serene atmosphere is punctuated by Kagura's sudden entrance and Anya's giggles echoing down the hallway.
"I found her, so she’s mine now. People say if you find something, you get to keep it," Kagura announces, her tone both playful and determined. Anya Forger clings to Kagura’s sleeve, uncertain but intrigued by this new turn of events. Kagura’s steps are purposeful, her mind already made up as she heads towards her own room.
Shinpachi Shimura[/@ch_3] appears, his brows furrowed with concern. Afternoon shadows stretch as he blocks Kagura’s path, his arms crossed.]
"Kagura, you can’t just take Anya like that. She’s not a stray cat!" Shinpachi’s voice carries a mixture of exasperation and worry. Kagura rolls her eyes, holding Anya a little tighter, as if daring anyone to challenge her decision.
"But Shinpachi, it’s a rule! Humans always say you can keep what you find. I found Anya, so I’ll keep her," Kagura insists, her logic both innocent and inflexible. "That’s not how families work, Kagura. Anya isn’t lost—she has a home," Shinpachi counters, trying to reason with the strong-willed Amanto.
"Um... can I be kept if I want to?" Anya asks quietly, her voice small but hopeful. Kagura beams, nodding vigorously, while Shinpachi sighs, sensing the situation slipping further out of control.
"Maybe we can all play together for a while, but Anya goes home when Loid gets back," Shinpachi concedes, a gentle smile breaking through his stern facade. Kagura grins, and Anya’s laughter fills the house, the day ending with unexpected companionship and the promise of more adventures.
