Mistakes were made. The first one being Akihiko as he was too much of a nice guy. In tandem of mistake number one, the second error was that he couldn’t say no to anyone who was in need. For instance, he locked eyes with a distraught old lady and walked over to ask what was wrong. He heard her plea about how her cat, Twinkle, escaped and she had no idea where the feline had run off to. The third and last mistake made was actually agreeing to help said lady. "This is honestly a needle in a haystack..." He groaned as it dawned on him. At least he got a breed. He was looking for a classic calico. Most teenagers these days would probably be hanging out at the Royal Crown or studying for tests. Akihiko was out and about helping old ladies trying to get their pet cats back. If only he knew where to look. So he decided to do the next best thing. He looked around to the next person to pass by. He waved them down with a friendly smile. "Excuse me! Sorry to bother, but ya wouldn't have happened to see a cat stroll around here, would ya?"@open MADE BY ★MEULK

daydreams. When it came to the small things, most people just wandered by and pretended that they saw nothing. Making sure that they were safe but anyone in a worse state than them? The majority would ignore and keep walking. In all honesty it pissed Kerria off to see people do that. If everyone just tried to help at least one person a day then the entire world would be a better place. But no.
People were selfish.
Not that it mattered where she was at that moment since she was still in her school uniform people wouldn't care what she did unless it was some kind of defacing of property. People who sunk to that level were disgusting, even by scum standards. Now that she thought about it, there were plenty of things that the redhead loathed and most of them involved the flaws of the human race. But on that day something unusual decided to happen to her.
A blonde boy came up to her smiling and waving before addressing her. Kerria blinked a few times as she tried to process what had been said to her in some way or another. He was... looking for a cat. OK that was really specific. It was great to see that he hadn't just said 'pet' or 'animal'. Now that really would've been a challenge by all standards.
"Sorry. I haven't." she said, tilting her head before slamming her right fist into her palm. "But I can help you look! Did you last see the cat around here?"

Ever an open book, Akihiko’s face fell with the disappointing answer as the person he approached–now seeing her up close was a girl–didn’t happen to see a cat in the vicinity. He should’ve expected this wouldn’t be an easy feat but one such as the blonde could only hope. "Are you sure? I don't want to take you out of your way for this," he said. Ever one to abide by his Japanese traditions, he had to be humble and polite, feeling bad that a stranger would go out of her way to help him with something he should be able to take care himself. But two sets of eyes looking for a crafty kitty was better than one. "I'm actually helping out a sweet granny who lost her pet. She told me it likes to stray off around these parts. I'm looking for a classic calico. It has a collar with the name Twinkles on it." After he explained the specifics on what type and the name of the cat, he gave her a look that screamed: Don’t ask me. I didn’t name the cat. Because he was just as befuddled on the name as quite possible the girl would be. "I'm Hoshino by the way. Hoshino Akihiko. You're from Juban, right? That is the girl's uniform you're wearing." He was wearing the boy’s uniform underneath his hoodie so it probably wasn’t as obvious. Though he hasn’t seen her in any of his classes or in the hallways. She must be an underclassman. MADE BY ★MEULK

daydreams. As he walked over, the redhead visibly saw his face drop and it made her feel awful. Her heart screamed that she desperately wanted to help - it was one of the reasons she offered - but the only thing she could offer an an extra set of eyes. Not amount of training could help her here. Well unless there was a three that needed climbing or something like that.
"Absolutely sure! I was on my way home but I doubt my family would mind if I was a bit late! Don't sweat it OK?" she said and a grin formed on her face. If there was something - anything really - that she could do to help she absolutely wanted to. Especially after he mentioned that he was helping out a granny! It seemed like that somewhat familiar blonde was a nice person, especially when compared to the majority of people in the world.
"So we're looking for a classic calico." Her hand raised, Kerria used her fingers to remember the checkpoints. "And it's wearing a collar with the name 'Twinkles' on it right?" If that was what someone wanted to name their pet, that wasn't her concern. Honestly they could have named the cat 'bacon' and she still wouldn't have laughed. The owner wouldn't have asked for help if the pet wasn't important so the redhead was determined to help find it. "If it usually wanders off around here it can't have gone too far..."
"Hoshino Akihiko...?" She had definitely heard that name before but at that moment she couldn't put a face to a name. "Good to meet you! Uh yeah I'm Juban and I guess you are too with the uniform? Name's Yukino Kerria." He was probably an upperclassman. 3rd year most likely. Akihiko... well it suited him!

The wheat tuft senior visibly lit up with relief and delight at the news of the crimson-haired maiden agreeing to help him out. The thought alone of having an extra set of eyes scouting the area for the little granny’s cat made him happy. Sure, it wasn’t supposed to be the most exciting task but even chores could be turned into enjoyment if they looked at it from another perspective. Akihiko’s outlook being that it was nice not to be alone. "Thank you! I'm really grateful. Aw man, I think we can do this with our combined force. We'll be like those every day heroes you see on TV." He flashed a boyish grin in confidence of the newly established comrade of the calico rescue duo. Akihiko listened attentively when she recited the description of the kitty in question they were looking for. He smiled nodding his head confirming the details down to a tee. "You got it. Maybe I should've asked for treats... wait, that only works for puppers."His attention snapped back to the girl as introductions were made. Yukino Kerria. That was a really pretty name. "It's nice to meet'cha. Yes, I'm third year at Juban. I'm going to take a guess that you're my kohai?" he chuckled at the end of his sentence. He took the lead and began the investigation for the missing calico named Twinkles. He checked through the alleyways and in between garbage cans. His turquoise eyes searched even the fence posts that lined the houses. "Here kitty, kitty, kitty!"But he had no luck on his end. MADE BY ★MEULK

daydreams. No matter how hard she might've tried the redhead couldn't help but let out a snort which then lead into a loud laugh. What he said was true - they were like those everyday heroes that were sometimes seen on TV which while funny, was pretty awesome too. Being the kind of girl she was Kerria always wanted to help people with the small things, even the bigger things if necessary. "Hahaha. I guess we are!" she said, wiping a tear from her eye. "And that's awesome. If we work together there's no way we can't lose!"
OK so the details she had of the cat were absolutely right. Now came the problem of actually finding the pet then returning it to it's worried owner. But her mind was an absolute blank when it came to pets. "I've heard of some cats coming when offered treats. Especially if they were raised around dogs - they come to act like them. Maybe it's worth a try?" she said with a shrug.
Kohai. That was something the redhead never expected anyone to say to her. Not in a polite way anyway. Actually it made a great change to meet a Senior who wasn't so... well so much of a jerk. Because she'd met plenty of those types and had no interest in meeting another. At least not anything soon without a good reason for it. "Yeah I guess so." A sheepish smile found it's way onto her face as she scratched her cheek.
"Maybe it's found it's way up a tree somewhere? Or is that just an urban legend?" she asked as she looked behind the back of a fence.

He stopped in his tracks the instant he heard Kerria suddenly lost herself in laughter. Gosh, it was a little dorky of him to say that but she didn't have to laugh that hard at him. Or at least he thought she was laughing at him. He didn't dwell on that thought for long before grinning at their unstoppable teamwork. They got this! He believed in their combined strength. "Hmm. I mean we could try? But I didn't ask granny if Twinkles was that type of cat. I don't have treats on me either." He should've thought this through before impulsively accepting this task. Maybe they could find a fish stand to bait the cat with? Akihiko looked into the contents of a trashcan he opened up. The moment he did his hand instantly slammed the lid back onto it. "YIKES! That reeks!"He gave up looking around trashcans to turn to the fence lining up the vicinity. He made sure to check the trees as soon as Kerria mentioned it. "Actually, cats do climb up trees. We should check the ones here out. They actually do have a habit of getting stuck in trees." Thankfully, they didn't need to look in too many of them. A soft mewing could be heard from above them when they approached one of the trees around. Looking up, Akihiko's eyes widened at the sight they were looking for. The calico with a collar around it's neck. "AHA! That has to be Twinkles!"MADE BY ★MEULK

daydreams. His words might have been a bit dorky, but warm all the same. Someone like this was the kind of person that she felt like she needed to hang around with. Just to forget some of her worries and responsibilities. But the ironic thing about being everyday heroes was funny in itself since she was more than just that. The redhead was - quite literally - a superhero. As Sailor Jupiter she got to fight alongside Sailor Moon and defend anyone who couldn't defend themselves against threats that humans couldn't. It gave her a bit more confidence that maybe the world needed her there after all.
"Yeah that's a problem. Maybe we could try and find some leftover meat? It'd be a dirty job but-" Then there was the exclamation of the trash reeking which caused another laugh to escape from Kerria's lips. Maybe she was enjoying Akihiko's company too much, but maybe this was exactly the kind of relationship - even friendship - that she needed. "Generally trash will do that." she said through the laughter.
It was good that her idea wasn't just based off an urban legend. Plus it wasn't like she had been too good with cat care over the course of her life since her family had never owned a cat. Hopefully the 'calling the firemen to get the cat out of the tree' actually was a myth.
"Really?" she walked back over with a little bit of a surprised look on her face until she heard the exclamation from the blonde where she began to run. There was the cat they were looking for, in the tree and looking like not wanting to come down. The part about cats being spoiled might be true too. "So... how are we gonna get him down?"

He shot her a look when she started laughing at him over pointing out the obvious reeking trash. Akihiko shook his head letting the matter roll off his shoulders. At least he wasn't annoying her or pushing her away with being a pest. The blonde had hope maybe after this then they could be friends? It wasn’t the first time he’s been teased for being a dork, but they had more important things to worry about. Namely, the objective of getting the cat out of the tree. Granny did say that the cat was usually friendly. "I can give you a boost and maybe you can scoop Twinkles up?" he suggested. "It shouldn't be too hard to get a cat out of the tree." Or at least that is what he was going to believe. He had hope that they could solve this problem with simple solutions. "If that doesn't work then we can run to the store and grab a fish. Whatever it takes to get the poor thing out of the tree." Akihiko really hope that Kerria wasn’t allergic to cats. Otherwise this would become a bigger problem than either of them had realized. He readied himself so whenever crimson-haired maiden was ready, he would help lift her up so she could try and reach out for the calico.
