KvD Your atypical Katz vs Dogs story

hat might take care of you? ” vin asked, being worried about the boy.

”No sir, I… I don know… ”

His heart is moved by the story. Although he knows he just picked up a random kid in a barrel in the river but it would be against his morals if he would send him away.

As for the boy, his mind is blank on what had happened to him, he is in a state of denial.

After some careful thought, the stranger had decided.

He sighed as he stands up.

”Alright boy, I know weve met for like 12 minutes, but hearing your story, it can be helped, Im going to take you in. ”

”Huh? Why would you do that for me, going through a hassle just to take care of a weak boy who can even protect his parents… ”

”Trying to counter my offer huh? ” vin thought. And then gave katsu a choice.

”Well, that story of yours can make any grown man cry. Plus, if you don want to, I won push, but, what will you do then? ”

Katsu realizes that Hes right, he has no other choices left. But he still can trust him.

”Don worry! Im kind, I won hurt you. Ill protect you from anything thatll harm you! I promise. ” He offers katsu again.

”Well… ”

”I guess I have no choice. ” He thought.

”Ok, I accept your offer. I will try my best not to be a burden from now on! ” bowing and accepting Vins offer.

”Don fret, I will take care of you. Katsuro. ”

”Ah, please call me katsu, it is my nickname. ”

”Alright, then katsu, lets get you fixed up. Come with me. ” He prepares to leave the apartment.

”Where are we going, sir? ” he asks.

”There is a shop I know where we can buy new clothes for you. And don call me sir, call me vin. ” And opens the door and prepares to leave.

”Clothes? ” katsu wonders as to where or what they
e going to do.

”Come on now! what are you waiting for? Lets go! ” he calls katsu downstairs.

”Yes sir! Coming! ” he heads down.

”I told you to call me Vin, ”

And then they start walking down the street.

The voice once again narrates over. ”I was confused and don know what happened. I was an outlander, a stranger, and helpless. You didn have to save me, but you did. ”

They walk through the citys busy market streets. Many people walked around and yelled. This is amazing! Katsu thought as he doesn see this often in his village.

”Wow! its busy here, here I thought that the town market is busy, this is like 10 times more. I would never think of getting here. ” He remarks.

The crowd keeps getting bigger, and bigger, and as they keep walking, he sees the other side of things. He saw many scary beggars on the side of the road, and it scared katsu.

As katsu isn accustomed to the sight, he can only direct his gaze to other places, but they
e everywhere.

”Ah, here we are, the best store that offers the best quality at the lowest price. ” He says while pointing at a shop.

Vin led katsu to what looked like a shady nameless store at a corner of the street, the windows were blocked by curtains, making it hard to see what was inside. But Vin seems to be a regular customer here.

”lets go inside! ” Vin tells katsu.

They both entered the shop, the bells ring as Vin swings the door open.

”Bon! Im here! ” he yelled.

”Hmm? ” he then looks over the counter and sees, Vin. ”Ahh! Monsieur! Looking energetic as usual! ” he says, with a very heavy French accent.

Inside the shop is very messy, with a lot of random things scattered around. Last store youd expect to be a good one.

Vin approaches the counter.

”So, hows the store running, eh? ” he asks bon.

”Im giving it some small renovations, but overall, doing good, ” Bon replied.

”Yeah. No one is going here if it looks so shady. ” He humorously says.

”Hahaha- ”notices katsu ”whos the child? ” bon asks.

”His name is katsu. ” Vin answers.

”A close family relative or what? ”

”ha-ha, ” he laughs but it sounded depressing. ”Come on bon, you know I don have relatives, nor family ”

A sad melancholic silence ensues.

”Right, you left… then who is he to you? ”

”I found him in a barrel in the river, his village got attacked so Im taking him in my care. ”

”His village got attacked!? Man, the cats are attacking more aggressively, to think that they were able to cross the channel. You
e taking the child in? do you even know how to take care of a kid? ”

”don you worry, I can manage! ”

”Anyways, what does he need? Ill give it for half the price. ”

Vin had a slight smirk on his face and then said ”some new clothes. ”

”Find what you need ”

”Ok, katsu! Come! Lets find some good clothes on ya. ” Calling katsu over.

”Ok, Mr. vin! ” katsu responded and follows Vin to an aisle.

After that, katsu tried on new clothes, it took them a while to find a good fit. And they bonded for a while, this bond will continue to harden through time.

While they
e shopping, the voice once again said ”You were so kind to me; you were the reason I got here. ”

Vin puts all of the clothes on the counter.

”Is that all? ” bon asks.

”Yup! Thats all of it! ”

”The total of that will be 5 pounds 12 shillings and 5 pence. ”

”Five pounds!? I thought you halved it? ”

”I did, you just bought a lot of clothes ”

”Oh, come on, can you sell it to me for 3? ” he says as he tries to bargain.

”3 pounds and 10 shillings, ” Bon says, unwilling to take his offer.

”Come on, please? ” begs for a discount.

”Agh, fine, Ill do 2 pounds and 10 shillings, you are buying it for that kid. And to help ease your expenses. ”

”Yes! Thank you, thank you! ” pay for the clothes and puts them all in a bag.

”Alright, katsu lets go back to my apartment! ”

”Ok, Mr. Vin! ”

They leave the store, and it was already noon.

”Woah, we spent a long time there. ”

”Yeah… ”

Vin notices katsu still has a scarred face.

”katsu ”

”Ye-yes, sir? ”

Vin kneels and puts his hand on his shoulder. ”No need to be scared, ill protect you. And I will not let anything hurt you, trust me. ”

Theres nothing he can do but trust him. His mind is now at ease, and hell always think that hes protected by a good stranger named vin.

”Ok, sir… ”

They both returned to the apartment, Vin prepares a bed for katsu.

”Ahh, sorry about this, I rarely accept visitors, let alone let them stay here. ”

Vin finishes preparing the bed, but it was so uncomfortable to sleep on, so katsu declines.

”ill sleep on the sofa, it feels better to sleep on, ” Katsu says as he lays on the sofa and closes his eyes.

So many things have happened, I wonder what the future holds.

Katsu and vin both say their goodnights.

And katsu fell asleep.

”Sleep well, for your story is just beginning. ” The voice narrated.
