Yuan was feeling particulary bored one sunny day and Hotaru didn't seem to be showing up for training again. So he figured he go and make Hotaru do the one thing he hated more than water. He was going to make Hotaru think.

He found him, as expected, napping on the roof with a cat perched on his head. He did a double take at the cat but shrugged and let the issue go. Well, mabye not. "Hotaru, why is there a cat on your head?"

Hotaru's eyes twitched.

"... It...hopped up there..."

Wow, almost a complete sentence.

"Why aren't you at training?"

"My sensei is stupid."

Yuan prceded to stomp his baka deishi's head into the ground, after knocking the cat off.

"...The cat left..."

Did Hotaru actually make an observation? An obvious one, but it was something.

"Hotaru why do you hate water?"

"It's wet."

"And?"

"I hate water."

"I got that bit, but why?"

"Shinrei likes it. I hate Shinrei."

Deciding that he wasn't going to get anything else out the idiot except a migrane Yuan left.

'What an odd person.' Hotaru thought while wondering why his head hurt and where the cat had gotten off to.
