Hello everyone, here I leave this last chapter, waiting for you to enjoy it very much. Thanks for reading :D

Ps: Remember about the traslation! xD

Chapter 10: Outcome Part 2.

Claire had been locked in her room for a long time trying on Puss's wounds. It was quite a challenge because of the state in which he arrived.

Kitty had gone to clean. Then she wrapped herself in a blanket to wait for her friend to come out. She was leaning against the wall near the door.

The female cat closed her eyes, and the moment came when Puss darted to save her. Seeing him fight with that ferocity and the unexpected appearance of that can, left her planted in the place.

She blamed herself for not reacting and having helped ... She kept cursing to herself

- Kitty? - Claire called after several hours.

She stood up straight away. - How's he doing? - She asked her worried instantly.

-He lost a lot of blood is weak and needs a lot of rest. But Puss is well inside everything, he is sleeping - said her friend. She sighed in relief.

- I'm a fool - she complained. -It's my fault he was so hurt.

- It's not like that, it wasn't something you wanted, don't blame yourself for something like that - she said comfortingly.

- But I didn't do anything, that's the problem, it didn't have to end like this - said the black cat.

-If you hadn't made that tourniquet, another story would be telling you, stop with that - she scolded her seriously. Kitty looked at the floor with sadness.

- Can I accompany him? - She asked.

- Yes, don't worry, you can come in - she said.

- Thank you - she said as she entered the room.

It was dark, hopefully a little candle lit the place a little. She looked at Puss, he wasn't wearing his hat or anything obviously, they were stacked at the foot of the bed. He was covered with several blankets, definitely Claire had done a good job.

She put some cushions on the floor beside Puss's bed so she could sit up and lean her arms over the edge of the mattress, put the blanket on her and watched him as he slept placidly.

Inevitably, tears would come down, she had never seen him like that. They always took risks but this ... no ...

She gently stroked his head, looked at him so grieved. He would have let her attack and he would not be going through that bad time.

It is there that she understood that her feelings towards Puss had "revived". If you wanted to sacrifice yourself for someone ... it's because you care a lot, there was no other answer than that. And he had done that ... for love ...

And she had to realize when he was on the edge of death? What had she learned about of the past time when she betrayed him with the golden eggs thing?

She continued to cry silently to the point that she fell asleep with her face resting on her arms, using it like a cushion.

The first rays of the sun awakened Puss that morning. He blinked confused and disoriented. He didn't know where he was, looked around, and quickly recognized the place. He wanted to get up but a sharp pain in his arm prevented and made him remember what had happened. The fight with the thief and then with the dog ...

He opened his eyes wide ... And Kitty? How was she?

His reply came instantly as he looked around and found her sleeping uncomfortably, leaning against the mattress of his bed and the blanket barely covered her. He noticed that she had small scratches on her right cheek.

With his healthy hand and unconsciously caressed her, he smiled slightly. After all, she cared to go with him, and that was very important.

Kitty shifted, growling slightly, with that posture felt her aching muscles.

She lifted her face, finding Puss watching her. The female cat looked at him in dismay.

- Sorry - she said regretfully.

- About what? - He asked.

- For not reacting and not having helped with that idiot - she replied. Puss shook his head.

- It was sudden, I was lucky to get you out of his way - he replied.

- It wouldn't have happened to you if that were so! - She said - I'm really sorry ...

-Kitty ... stop blaming yourself for something you weren't involved in ... What mattered to me at that moment was your well-being. No matter that it has gone wrong, also managed to catch the thief and fought against that mange, you couldn't ask for more - he said quietly, he knew she is stubborn so he tried to get that thought out of her head. She looked at the floor.

- Don't cry... everything went well - Puss said, wiping the tears with his healthy hand. - If I let that fool hurt you, I wouldn't have forgiven me and you know it.

- Thank you - Kitty said, finally agreeing. She looked up at him. Puss smiled at her. - How do you feel?

- A little dejected, as if I hadn't strength but well - he replied.

- It's because you lost a lot of blood - the female cat told him.

- And I don't remember much anyway. With luck when I fought, I got a big bite. I looked at the wound because I was feeling dizzy and found that I was bleeding - he told her.

- In a moment ... you almost lost consciousness ... I tried that you not close your eyes making you walk - Kitty said, just remembering it caused her shiver.

- I don't remember ... - he replied.

They looked at each other intensely, this time they didn't bother to finish that eye contact, they didn't want to take their eyes off each other.

Unfortunately they were interrupted when Claire knocked on the door before entering.

- Oh, I'm glad the sick has awakened! - The two-color cat said cheerfully.

- I'm not sick, just injured. Sounds prettier - he said.

- You're sick anyway, you have to take care of yourself - Claire said. - I brought you a rich juice of beetroot! - She added cheerfully.

- A juice of what? - He asked in surprise.

- Beetroot, it's for the iron - she explained.

- How disgusting - Puss said, gesturing.

- Yes I know, it's not something we take the cats but unfortunately you must drink it for your health - she scolded giving him the glass. Puss received him without much encouragement.
Claire looked at her friend to greet her but it wasn't until that moment that she hadn't noticed the small wounds.

Offended, she slapped the back of her neck. Puss almost spat out the juice as much for the disgust as the grace that caused him.

- What did I do to you? - Kitty complained.

- Don't warn me! - She said, pointing her cheek.

- Claire! I didn't even remember! Don't be scandalous! - She scolded.

- It doesn't matter if it's small - she replied, grabbing her face and began to wipe it with a cotton that she had on hand. - The Informant came and said that he would come when Puss recovered from his injuries to give you news - she added. – After you drink that, you must rest.

- And you, too - Puss said to Kitty. - I mean a comfortable place.

- That's true - Claire agreed.

-I get it. You two are confabulating - Kitty complained, both laughed.

They accompanied Puss to finish the juice, which he hardly drank, the taste was not very pleasant and once it was finished let him rest.

Kitty felt that her body was beaten, yesterday was a lot of effort and sleeping in that uncomfortable position didn't favor her at all.

She had breakfast with Claire before going to her room to rest. The fatigue was so much that she fell asleep just laid her head on the pillow.

Several days passed since the capture of the thief. Puss was recovering thanks to Claire's medicines and her strange juices. His wound healed quickly so he had only a small bandage, unlike the first day he couldn't move much. He only rested for the loss of blood, that was what kept him somewhat touched.

However, this day was different since the Informant would come to visit him and Puss was already fit. Therefore, Claire invited him to lunch with them.

- Why do I still have to stay in bed if I'm better? - shouted the orange cat from his room. Many quiet days also bored him and he believed she was exaggerating with the recovery.

- Shut up! - Claire shouted. - I gave you a remedy that will make you half-foolish! - She replied.

- More than usual! - Kitty joked.

- I heard you! - Puss complained. The friends laughed.

- The effect will be gone, it's the last day! Rejoice! - Claire added.

-Hurrah - he said sarcastically.

-Which of the two is more impatient for God? - Complained the bicolor cat.

- It's understandable because we got used to being active ...- Kitty said, raising an eyebrow.

-Uh, look how you defend him - her friend joked.

-Bite me - the black cat answered.

Yes, her friend had noticed the change in how Kitty had treated Puss since that accident. They spent the whole time together, she cared to help him and take care of him with medicines and cures. It seemed incredible to her.

No matter how busy she was, she did not have the time to talk to her friend and know what was going on between them, she was dying of curiosity. For the same thing, she would throw a joke to see if she got something but nothing.

Kitty knew that her friend was eating her the curiosity. And she honestly didn't know what situation she was with Puss ... this has changed so much these days ...

They hadn't even touched the subject to see what was going to happen to them. At the most is that they have become closer where they talked more often and spent most of the time together.

- Oh! What a scare! - Claire said, covering her eyes. Kitty turned to see what was happening, once more she raised an eyebrow.

- I'm not ugly - the Informant quipped.

"Not even Claire is saved from your apparitions out of nowhere," said the black cat.

-Why do you do that ?! Evil! "Her friend complained.

- I'm sorry, it's in my blood, I've said it a thousand times - the cat excused himself. - Oh Puss! How glad I am that you have recovered.

Neither of them had noticed that he had "escaped" the room.

- Thank you - he said.

- There is no case with you - Claire complained. One of the two always disobeyed the instructions. -It doesn't matter ... we're going to have lunch - she added with surrender.

Once they were seat, they talked while they served their plate.

- Pff, I don't know where to start - said the informant. - I look at those old gossips - he added with laughter, the rest joined.

- Start with the thief. What happened to him? - Asked Puss.

- They took him to jail but they moved him to a more secure one and they will make a judgment, crazy things of rich people - he explained. -And you won't believe the mess the dog left.

- What did he do? - Asked Kitty.

-Remember the date I had days ago? -The informant asked and they both nodded. -That contact worked long ago with him and told me to keep an eye on that dog since he could betray us, just as they told you and be careful. Especially with the day when the most influential came.

-I don't understand ... - Puss said.

- Where this gets good, the day I argued with the mangy dog, he had already been contacted to offer him a better reward if he got the thief and that house. He was one of the influential who arrived that day - he explained.

The cats opened their eyes wide, they didn't expect such news.

- That's why he disappeared and waited for that woman to buy the house and steal, otherwise he could frighten the thief ... make him nervous or what I do - added the Informant.

- How did this guy know about this? - Puss asked

-We don't know. The bosses are taking care of that - he replied.

- What happened to the can? - Kitty asked.

- They took him to jail for a fool- the Informant said mischievously.

- Best of all, guys, we're free and you've won the jackpot!

- Holidays! - Claire shouted cheerfully, the black cat rolled her eyes.

-You clown - he said to his friend, who stuck out her tongue, ignored her and added - I'm glad a lot! - She looked at Puss with a smile. - And I won the wager, too! - Celebrated the tricolor cat, raising his arms. – Hey and how are the sisters? - Kitty asked.

-They're okay ... - he said doubtfully remembering the day she'd joked. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

- I suppose one is better than the other ... - she said.

-Ok! I already understood the hint! I'm dating her! Are you happy now? - said the Informant.

- Yes - she said with a broad smile. The other two laughed lightly.

- They will be heavy - said the Informant.

They went on talking again. During the conversation, they agreed to celebrate because the work was over, that would be tomorrow night and including the sisters of course besides this coincided with the last day of the festival.

The Informant left the room, leaving the three of them in the living room. Puss had a sly grin.

- You girls have something pending - Puss said. The black cat opened her eyes in surprise. She knew what he meant.

- Don't be evil - Kitty said.

- What thing? - Claire asked.

-You owe me the pay of the bet if I remember correctly ... - he replied - We still have time and we must grasp this beautiful day.

- Don't be evil please ... Have mercy - Claire demanded.

- I'm sorry - said the orange cat - There are no excuses.

- Did you really force us to go to the lake? - Kitty asked.

There was no case, they couldn't get away from this.

- Exactly - he replied simply - See it from this side, I haven't been out in days, and I'd be grateful to get some fresh air.

Claire and Kitty looked at each other, definitely didn't want to. Unfortunately, they had to comply.

That same afternoon they went to the little lake that was outside the village. On the bank of this was a small pier. In that place were all three.

-Really ... I don't like this - said Kitty, not very convinced, looking at the water.

- Tell me, I don't even know why I agreed to play those filthy cards - Claire complained.

Puss laughed to himself.

- Don't laugh! - Kitty scolded.

-You laugh at someone else's misfortune - Claire added, frowning.

-You didn't like humiliating me? There you have the nice payment of Karma - said Puss. Both glared at him.

-You first - Kitty told her friend, giving her a little shove.

-Why me? - She asked.

- Because ... you're the chosen one! - She answered.

- It's just a dip ... - Puss added.

- It's easy for you to say! - Kitty complained. He just started laughing.

Claire went to the shore to touch the water.

- It's freezing! - Said the two-colored cat.

- Let's see who will be the brave one - Puss continued to annoy, fully enjoying the moment.

- Shut up! - Kitty shouted and he went on.

- And if we jump into the water at the same time? - Claire suggested.

But she didn't notice a slight detail, Claire didn't realize she was very close to the shore and took a false step by falling dryly into the water.

It wasn't two seconds before the two cats burst into laughter. Puss grasped that Kitty was distracted and gave her a push to throw her into the water.

The black cat emerged quickly, her friend was right, this didn't have a pleasant temperature. When she emerged she saw that Claire was already swimming to the shore.

- What a horrible feeling! - Her friend complained.

- Are you happy now? - Kitty asked, raising an eyebrow.

- Oh, was so funny - he said stiffly. The cat only managed to drink water and then swim to the shore, cursing internally.

Another day passed and so came the night when they would meet to go to the closing of the festival at Claire's house.

What was interesting that night was that there would be coronation of king and queen in which some nearby towns participated. This did not call them much attention in fact they were not interested but what would happen next is what interested them is that there would be fireworks.

That would start later so they wanted to kill time to an exclusive area for cats, it was the same as a canteen but outdoors.

They asked for a table to be able to chat and at the same time to see the small services that they offered, music, dances and karaoke.

Puss didn't listen to what they were talking about, he was thoughtful and felt something he had to do for Kitty. Although she hadn't told him anything about her feelings, his intuition said that they were there and if he wanted something concrete ... he would have to act.

He looked at the band ... and he remembered something he had heard in Far Far Away ...

- Excuse me a moment - said Puss, rising from his chair.

He walked to a secluded spot so they wouldn't see him, he had the idea in his mind and waited for this will work. He talked to a guy who was taking a break and who belonged to the band.

After a while, to Kitty strangely came a message, a stranger passed it. She opened it to read it.

"Come to the back of the stage, alone"

- I'm coming, guys, I won't be long - Kitty warned.

She moved cautiously toward the place, was far enough away not to hear what was happening in the tavern and becoming dark and lonely.

The next she heard a nice melody played on a guitar...

(If you want, listen to Nickelback's song "Far Away" =P)

"This time, this place
Misused, mistakes
Too long, too late
Who was I to make you wait?

Just once chance, just one breath
Just in case there just one left
Cause you know
You know, you know

That I love you, I have loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go.
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore"

She was shocked to see Puss appear on her side, slowly came up to her ... Kitty was still impressed ... He was dedicating a song!

Puss in front of her took his hands and in one of them laid an affectionate kiss.

"On my knees, I'll ask

Last chance for one last dance
Cause with you I'd withstand
All of it to hold your hand.

I'd give it all, I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
Cause you know
You know, you know

That I love you, I have loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore

(So far away, been far away for far too long)
(So far away, been far away for far too long)

He looked at Kitty, her beautiful blue eyes was shining. That made him smile.

"But you know
You know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you stay
Cause I needed
I need to hear you say

I love you, I have loved you along
So keep breathing cause I'm not leaving you anymore.
Believe it, hold on to me, never let me go.

Keep breathing cause I'm not leaving you anymore.
Believe it, hold on to me, never let me go
Hold on to me, never let me go
Hold on to me, never let me go"

She was so excited, she felt like a comfortable warmth filling her chest, it was energizing. An old feeling she missed. It was difficult to describe what the female cat felt at that moment, were many things.

Kitty started to approach. The only purpose of her was him, she didn't care about the rest.

Finally they kissed, it wasn't a simple kiss, it was loaded with emotions and feelings in which they were repressed these days.

It wasn't even short or crazy. It was subtle but passionate, balanced. They separated a little for air and the two cat continue. They didn't want to end. It was understandable, how long ago they didn't do that? During those days, things between them had changed and it was inevitable that something like that would happen.

- You took a chance - Kitty said after parting with a smile of happiness, Puss was touched and make him want to kiss her once more.

- It was now or never - Puss told him. - You know I'm better at doing than saying things.

- Yes, that's true. You caught me by surprise - she said.

- It was the idea, I didn't expect your reaction to be honest - he replied and then hugged her. He was so happy that he finally held her in his arms after so long, Puss was very grateful that everything worked perfectly.

Where did you get that song?" Kitty asked.

- Once I went to a tavern when I was still living with Shrek, it was only a few weeks since I found out about your death ... In a way it marked me, as if describing what I was living. I could not get it out of my mind from that day - he said.

- And to dedicate to me… was always in your plans? - Asked the curious cat.

- Not that, it occurred to me at the time, it was something out of nothing - Puss answered.

- It was beautiful, thank you ... - she said, kissing him once more.

- Do you think we're going with the others? They will ask for us, I guess - Puss said when they separated. She nodded in agreement, they were away for several minutes. Puss and Kitty returned to the table with in calm, as if nothing had happened.

-Yes! I won another bet! - Said the informant as they arrived, catching the attention of the group who watched them raise an eyebrow, definitively he wasn't going to change. And the same time his girlfriend slapped the back of his neck. Was the older sister, her name is Noah.

- You guys were back together? - Claire shouted, very excited.

They looked at each other in an accomplice, what they were going to do, it was remarkable and they could not deny it.

- What do you think? - Kitty asked.

- Yes - she said very cheerful - Alice, pay me! - told her to friend, the younger sister.

- Oh! Days ago… I had another impression! - she answered defeated and passed the money. Kitty sighed, there was no case, now everyone is betting on anything.

- By the way - Puss said to the Informant. -Why don't you tell us your name? - She trusts us - he said, referring to the sisters.

- Is it necessary? - He asked jokingly.

- Don't be an antipathetic - his girlfriend told him, giving him a little push.

- I'll take the secret to the grave - he said maliciously. -Besides, the Informant sounds heroic - he added excitedly.

- Not really ... sounds like an old gossip in the neighborhood - his sister-in-law replied, making the rest laugh. He glared at her.

- Ah Puss, take this! - Said the informant after they stopped laughing at him. - Your boss sent me this letter, read it later - he added, and passed the letter to her. Puss received it.

They kept talking and waiting for the fireworks. They did the same when they went to see the parade, climbed a tree and have a better view.
Puss was thinking about the message his boss had left him, why would he want it? If it was supposed to be over.

He watched Kitty as she watched the spectacle. He wasn't tired of thinking, he was so happy that he still didn't assimilate, it seemed incredible. After all the things that happened in this adventure, everything went well.

He still wanted to have a deeper conversation with her, but when they were alone and do it quietly.

The next morning, Puss only woke up because he had forgotten to read the letter his boss had left him.

The couple did not sleep together. It was his decision as he found that it was more correct, he didn't want to be invasive with Kitty. This was getting fixed and hurrying wasn't a good idea.

He took out the envelope and opened it by sitting on a chair to be more comfortable.

"I hope you have recovered well, did a good job in the capture. We have been able to solve several of our problems.
I will travel soon to return to Far Far Away for this I need your help. It turns out that the influential who hired the dog, knew us and wanted to ... fuck us. He also heads to Far Far Away. I need you to help me catch him, it would be the last job and obviously you will be compensated. If you help me, you will be well considered in the future. But this is a solo work.
Let me know if you are interested.

Regards"

Puss didn't like this. He did not want to part with Kitty again. Less now that things had been fix the thing between them ...

- How your face changed - Claire said dreamily and happily.

- It hasn't even been a day ... - Kitty replied, rolling her eyes.

- In any case, I've seen you differently for days - her friend hinted.

- You won't stop bothering me? - The cat asked resignedly.

- It's because I want details - she replied with a broad smile. - Besides, it took a lot to you two to come back with us and make me suppose… you almost ate him ...

- Claire! - She complained and put a hand to her face. Not that she was embarrassed to admit it, she didn't care ... It just ... it was strange ...

- I'll stop now! But don't hit me! - Defended her friend.

-I wasn't going to do it - the female cat answered.

- Yes, sure ...- she said suspiciously. Kitty raised an eyebrow.

Suddenly she heard the stairs, knew it was Puss, looked at him immediately and noticed in his face that something bothered him, he was thoughtful ...

- What's the matter? - She asked seriously.

He grimaced. - They offered me a new job - he replied.

- Is that bad? - She asked again.

- For me, yes, because it's without you. I don't know how long it will take, maybe a week ... - he answered. "I don't want to go, but I want to know your opinion.

Kitty was frightened, felt like a kind of deja vu. Obviously she didn't want Puss leave Tres María...

- What did he offer you in return? - Kitty asked.

- Another payment and jobs in the future - he answered not very cheerful.

Not every day you found this kind of luck. Having that kind of consideration ... meant not begging for work anywhere. The amounts they paid were good ... It was worth it ...

Just as Puss bet everything to get her back, Kitty wanted to do the same, even if it hurt.

-Take it- said the determined female cat.

He looked at her in surprise.

- It's a good opportunity, you should take it - she said, looking him in the eye. - I waited all this time ... what will make me wait a few more days? - She encouraged him.

- But I'd like to go with you, I don't want to leave you - Puss said. -With what they paid us we have more than enough.

-Yes it is true, but more than that is to have assured the future. We'll always be on the move - Kitty said.

She had a point in that ... money was running out...

- Come on, I'll be waiting for you here, I won't move from here and I won't let idiots divulge lies - she encouraged again with a smile.

- Well ... - said the not very convinced ... He feared losing her again if something happened ...

She took his hands, a way to support him and give him strength. Puss came over to give her a warm hug. He still felt it was unnecessary.

During that day they didn't do much, they dedicated themselves to rest in the afternoon, to go around the town where Claire took them to know other interesting places.

On the other hand, Claire did a healing and a change of bandage to the wound. All was well healing without problem. She repeated it several times, at least cleaning the wound twice a day. Kitty shook her head, she was sure that Puss would forget but she wasn't going to sell him otherwise he would get scolded ... especially with the maternal side that was always her friend...

That night Kitty was lying on her bed, thinking ...

Puss would leave first thing in the morning, her thinking was the same, she didn't want he goes away, she wasn't sure if it was the best decision but she didn't want to be selfish in that sense...

She was sad as well as fearful, had that concern if anything could happen. They still didn't know who had separated them, they were still hanging around ... What if ... that someone knew they had come back? Would something worse happen?

She was clear that Puss hadn't changed his feelings. From what he has done for her there was no doubt, they were sufficient evidence. Although she felt dumb since she had to go through a complicated situation to know their feelings. The fear that she spent that moment of seeing him badly made her wake up.

She felt this need to help, care and support him during those difficult days. Spending so much time together talked a lot.

It was something that occurred without problems or discomforts, everything flowed because they did not touch the theme that separated them, they spoke of the anecdotes they had and laughing happily.

That made Kitty trust him more and more. He never took advantage of those situations, even though they had those moments.

It had happened several times in which they almost kissed by the turn that gave the conversations. But there was always something that interrupted or repented. The reason ... they didn't know.

Of the many times she watched him rest, she caressed his head and somehow relaxed him. There were times she even wanted to get into bed and accompany him. This would have been funny. If other circumstances had happened, there was no doubt. But he didn't want to cross the line ... until then they didn't know what they were.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt the door knocking.

-Yes? - Asked the female cat.

- Can I come in? - Puss asked from the other side of the door.

- Sure - she answered cheerfully.

When he entered the room, it was not necessary to ask if something happened to Kitty, he read her mood when she saw it.

- Kitty ... I can still refuse the offer - Puss said.

She smiled at him.

-Don't worry, it's momentary - she replied.

The orange cat sat on the edge of her bed and took her hand to caress it.

- I prefer ... Working with you, by my side - he answered.

-I know. I don't like it either, but it will be the last time you work alone and who knows maybe it will take less time - she replied.

- Yes, that's true - Puss agreed. - And ... I want to have a more serious conversation with you - he said.

- About what? - Asked the female cat.

-I feel like something is missing so we can move on ... and I don't mean the one that caused this, I mean us, I want this work - Puss explained.

Each time Kitty convinced that she hadn't made a mistake in choosing to try again, the concern he was taking was enough for her.

She smiled and sat down to face Puss and caressed his cheek. She was grateful. He kept talking.

- But it would have to be when I come back, calmly. I don't want this conversation to influence what you decided today and to support me for this job.

- I agree - said the cat as she stared at him. - Then I'll be anxious waiting for you.

- I assure you that nothing is going to happen, I don't want you to think that the same thing can happen. I love you too much to leave you behind - Puss told him.

Kitty was touched with every word he said. She came over to give him a small kiss and then hugged him.

- You'll make me change my mind - she said, putting her face to his neck.

- Is it an option? - He asked tentatively.

- Don't complicate my existence - she answered. Puss laughed lightly.

- Can you sleep with me at least? - Asked the female cat. It seemed incredible that after everything that happened ... Kitty asked for something like that.

He was surprised he didn't expect that question.

- If you want to, why not - Puss answered.

-Thank you - Kitty said, hugging him again, the orange cat caressing her back.

- Now that I'm going to be alone with Claire ... You have no idea how she's going to bother me these days - Kitty said, making Puss laugh.

- I'm sorry about that - he replied.

- It doesn't matter, I'll take revenge somehow- she said.

- That's sure - Puss said. - By the way, isn't it good idea not to send us letters at the moment? It's for safety more than anything - he said, separating from her so he could look at her.

-Yes, you are right. I was going to mention something to you she answered. Will you see your friends?

-If I have the time I will go to see the little ones mistreat me for a while ... - he replied grimacing remembering when he had to take care of them. This made the cat laugh.

- I'm sorry that too ... I suppose that's the way to express their affection to you - she said. -Be careful and I mean you're attentive.

- I'll take care - Puss replied, approached him to give her a kiss that she corresponded without hesitation.

He still had trouble believing that after all those obstacles on the road now he was at this point, he thought he couldn't do it any more when they fought ... he thought he wouldn't make it. That was the reason he was careful about actions with her. If it were for him, he would give her kisses whenever he could or make her a joke tempting her to yield to some request from him.

It was like starting from scratch, rebuilding their relationship with patience. Of course, if Kitty asked for anything special, such as sleeping with her, he would if she felt comfortable.

Like now that Kitty extended the kiss by throwing himself against him so that Puss lay down and she was on top. The orange cat took her waist.

After finishing the kiss, they settled down. Kitty put her head on his chest as Puss held her and hugged her. And without realizing they fell asleep.

Kitty woke up to find a surprise, Puss left her warm with the blanket. She looked at his side, the female cat was saddened to find the empty space but the seconds realized that she had left some flowers. She smiled.

The female cat hoped the days would pass quickly.

She decided to go down to the dining room to see if Claire was found. She already had breakfast ready, as she had always been prepared.

- I'll finally have the chance to talk to you! - Claire said excitedly when she saw her. - I want to know details!

- I'm fine, thank you - the black cat said sarcastically.

- You haven't even deigned to tell me any detail of the two of you - She scolded.

Kitty sighed. Said and done, she would annoy her without stopping.

- If it serves you as comfort, not even I know what happened in my mind, everything happened very fast - she replied.

- What really happened, that you didn't want to recognize your feelings until that day - said her friend.

-Yes, something like that happened - said the black cat.

- And how are you feeling? - Claire asked.

- About what? - Kitty asked back.

-That Puss had to go - her friend replied.

-I feel insecure. And I don't mean that I don't trust him ... he has shown that he is interested and everything else but I can't avoid being suspicious of what happened ... I don't know if you understand me - the cat answered.

-Yes, I see that he's done a good job because of the notorious change he caused in you. It's what amazes me. You didn't get rid of him - Claire said happily - Regarding the other thing, don't think about it. Even the one that Puss is gone, favors you to show that you "didn't" come back - she encouraged.

Kitty hadn't thought of that possibility, and if she acted as if nothing had happened, no one would suspect.

- You're right - she said.

- You see, so stay calm - Claire said as they ate. -Apparently you slept together, Puss's bed was intact.

Kitty coughed awkwardly. - You're nosy - she snapped.

- I just drew conclusions - she excused, staring at her, as if she wanted to say something with her eyes. The black cat got what she wanted to say.

- Nothing happened if it's what you think, sewer mind - Kitty defended immediately, narrowing her eyes.

- I didn't say anything ... - she said as if nothing.

- Of course, I almost believe you. I know you - she said sarcastically and her friend started to laugh. Kitty just rolled her eyes.

- Changing the subject - Claire said. - Will you come with me to a patient's house tomorrow? She's about to have her babies and I have to control her – the bicolor cat asked.

- Sure, no problem - she replied. Claire stared at her again because in that moment of silence she turned thoughtful.

- What have you been thinking about? - Her friend asked. The black cat sighed.

-It seems strange ... several days ago I did not want to see Puss and now that he's gone ... I'm missing it ...- Kitty answered.

Claire grinned and said - It's because the feelings were always there, you have to take into account that your recovery was slow and it was for something ... The trust was hurt and fear was your wall that impeded you to advance - said philosophically her friend.

- You always hit the nail ... - Kitty said. She described the whole thing in a few words.

-I'm very happy for you, I hope you will continue and that little by little you will return to normal.

- Thank you ... You helped us to come back - Kitty said, her advice helped to decide and think what to do, she was like her sister.

-You're welcome - Claire answered.

The rest of the day Kitty helped her friend with the hostel. Although the festival was over, there was still a flow of people, and being busy with attending patients, she wanted to lend a hand.

Neither she wasted her time, when the female cat was free of all those tasks, went to practice her jumps and maneuvers in the courtyard of the house, there were some trees used to jump from one side to the other. She definitely could not stay still, she had to do something always, more if she wanted the day to pass quickly.

As the next day, she accompanied her friend to see her acquaintance who was expecting kittens. Kitty assured Claire that in case that cat would go into labor, she couldn't help her much. Let's just say it's not her virtue. Her almost sister laughed at her, telling her not to worry.

Luckily it wasn't, was in perfect condition and according to the calculations of Claire in a few days would be mother and estimated about four babies. The poor could barely move.

After that visit, Kitty decided to teach Claire a little aim, she thought it better that her friend learned something. She laughed a lot where Claire didn't do very well or didn't hit the target.

The later days seemed slow, in fact the third day was irritating.

What happened was they went to buy the market some things that were missing in the house. All good until then she heard some information. It was already spreading that Puss had returned to Far Far Away and to worsen what said these things was the same cat that harassed Puss and blatantly flirted his now boyfriend in the other town. Obviously, that girl didn't know.

Although it didn't stop her from saying anything, the cat recognized Kitty, treated her cuckolded and spiteful, making it clear that she would go and see him as soon as possible ...

What was the possibility of finding her there? Arg.

Kitty was about to give her some good punches, she was teasing her. She saved by Claire, who stopped her or if not, another story would be telling, no doubt that Claire would have a new patient.
Actually, she made her angry and surely she had said such things to him because of what happened in the village.

This didn't please Kitty clearly, made her hesitate and impatient. She wished that the time came for Puss to return, so Kitty could stay calm.

The good thing that after this, she could distract distracted. That night the Informant invited them to a small meeting with his group, it was to say goodbye, it was their last night in Tres Maria and soon they would start with other works.

They had a good time, they laughed a lot. Also surprised were a large group and they looked like a single family as a tribe.

Even they were the first to attend such a meeting, they didn't trust the others but they (counting Puss) were the exception. That was why the Informant offered help in case they needed it, with a kind of stamp, similar to what the bosses had given them but this was different, it was simple with a strange symbol. So if they wanted to communicate with them they had to leave that mark in a letter that would leave only in cat canteens. How did this come to them? Well there were some mailers in that group. It was amazing how they worked.

They told them how that great family had been born. A few abandoned cats were grouped together to support each other. Gradually they were developing skills to steal and survive. Then they increased the number of members who taught them other tricks of agility.
They began to organize better and better until they got their first small job that pushed them to what they are today.

The two cats were so tucked into the story to not miss any detail that they did not realize how late it was. Ignoring that, they felt lucky because it was their first time inviting someone from outside. So Kitty offered her help in case they needed it that way they would be at hand.

Fourth day ... arg.

It was strange for Kitty, it was really becoming forever, it was as if a week had passed and she could not think of any idea that she could kill time.

That day got up late because of which they slept late. Her friend did not even bother to wake her up, she always did the same thing when she was very tired ... except when they went to investigate about the festival.
They made their daily routine, attend the consultation and Kitty see the lodging. In the afternoon they were free so they used the time to practice Claire's aim a little, it wasn't enough to continue learning things like that.

- I understand, so you threatened her to stay away from Puss - Claire said as they practiced. Kitty explained what had happened the day she helped Puss get rid of that harassing cat and that unfortunately they found it recently.

- Yes ... Of course, I didn't believe him at the moment. I didn't know why either. That idiot was irritating me - Kitty told her. - I didn't want to recognize that I was a bit jealous anyway.

- I don't blame you - she said amused. -And what happened next? I mean if there was another situation like that - she asked curiously.

- Why do you want to know so much? - Said the black cat. Sometimes Claire could be very nosy although it was expected ...

- Because I want to - she said, sticking out her tongue. -You know I'll bother you without stopping -she added.

She sighed. There was no case with her.

-Mmm - she said thoughtfully trying to remember. - I didn't tell you this!" - she said funny, she had forgotten - The day we had to follow the thief with his partner, we came to a dance sector and the guy was a little ahead of us. We were the best trying to reach him until we were forced to join a dance, very dynamic ... With say that I didn't see Puss in a while, the couples were different, randomly ... It was entertaining the truth, I enjoyed that dance ... - she said smiling, remembering how nice it had been. - After the music became more rhythmic, more steps, jumps, changes ... it was tiring ... When it finished, I put my forehead on the couple that had touched me ... Guess who it was.

-Really! Was Puss? - Claire asked excitedly.

-Exact! I didn't know until I opened my eyes. None of us could not move, we were glued looking the other - said Kitty. - It was strange, and I mean, how it all happened, the atmosphere was cozy and suffocating. I don't know how to explain it.

- You didn't tell me that before! You're bad! - She complained.

- I had forgotten! What did you want? - She defended herself, what she was going to do ... she was expected to scold him.

- Well, that doesn't matter - Claire said - I'm glad it happened, I guess, something crossed your mind at the moment.

- Yes, we could say that I went through all possible feelings - she said with a laugh, which infected her friend.

After a few seconds Claire concentrated on throwing the knife, which she couldn't do since she was stuck looking towards a sector.

Kitty was surprised and looked in the same direction as her friend. She opened her eyes wide.

- What are you doing here? - Asked the black cat in surprise.

- I was expecting another kind of welcome - said Puss smiling.

- But ... - she said, not knowing what to say exactly. Her friend slapped the back of her neck. - That wasn't necessary! - She scolded, returning the gesture.

The orange cat laughed, had missed Kitty despite the few days that passed.

- What happened? - She asked again.

- Let's say I give priority - he said looking at her. She smiled happily at him.

- Did they say something to you? - Kitty asked.

- No, he accepted without problems ... - he answered and added walking towards her - I didn't want to risk to happen again the same thing. If we have to work, it will be together.

Kitty finished shortening the distance by running toward him and throwing herself to embrace him. She had missed him so much, and she was happy for what he had said, and she did not have to wait for him for more days.

- If you put it that way I won't refuse - Kitty replied without letting go of him, it seemed incredible that he was there with her, did not expect that surprise.

Puss didn't feel very well during the trip to Far Far Away, he was distracted, he didn't think about what he had to do or look for, we didn't even go forward. He just thought of her, something told him that it was better to go back.

- Remember we have a pending conversation - he said, Kitty nodded.

- I understood the hint! - Claire said, to leave them alone, anyway she was already thinking about it to give them privacy.

They separated from the embrace but kept their hands together. Puss was the one who spoke first.

- I want you to be honest - he said calmly. - Tell me if you trust me and how you feel about this.

It was true that she said that trust was difficult to recover even impossible. But this was different, Puss had not decided to be unfaithful overnight or he had become bored of the relationship with her but it was not easy to accept immediately, it would take a little time to assimilate

She thought well of the words he was about to say.

- I didn't think we'd be together again ... in the process I was confused what to do. I thought of the possibilities and I was wrong to choose one - said Kitty cautious and continued - For example if I didn't accept ... you would leave but what if I realized that I lost you? On the other hand if I went back with you ... I didn't know if I could trust you again or if the past would be there bothering us and would not leave us alone ... In the end we would both suffer ... What a mess I had in my head.

Puss listened to her intently, and he had thought of those possibilities too.

-But after other things happened that helped me decide, what my feelings were even though I didn't want to admit them, what were your intentions ... - she explained - What if I feel insecure and not for you, you know, it's something that both of us are worried about this subject. Will that leave us alone if that guy discovers that we're back? If he was capable of this, perhaps something else might occur to him ...

Again he agreed with the same thought as she. He caressed her cheek with that support.

- I won't let that guy or woman do something to you ...- he said protectively.

- I will do the same for you - she replied. It was true that they did not know if it was a woman or a man.

- That will be our rule to say it somehow, to always work together - said Puss, in which she obviously agreed. - Thank you for being honest, I wanted to see if you were sure of this - he added.

- What would you be if you saw me insecure? - She asked curiously.

- Whatever time you need, helping you to think well about what you want, wouldn't force you to do anything, it would do anyone who values someone very much, don't you think? - Puss replied. She thanked him for that honest response and gave him a small tender kiss.

- Totally - she agreed.

- I'm very happy that everything went well - he said, making eye contact of "those" they used to have.

This stage had been difficult since both had suffered in different forms. As Puss had said earlier on learning of Kitty's supposed death ... he felt lost, wasn't enough to miss her, but also to accept that he would never see her again. He found no comfort anywhere; though he was known for his reputation and too many, Kitty was the exception because there was a different chemistry that couldn't explain ... in which he would never find again, that was the emptiness he had.

Seeing her alive was ... unbelievable ... the most comforting feeling she'd ever had ... even though she was grudgingly, it didn't matter, he was glad she was all right.

He fought for her, it was worth it, with more reason he wanted her close and back to what they were before.

-We have everything clear I suppose ... - he said how who doesn't want the thing.

- Yes ... Why do you say that? -She asked, squinting suspiciously.

Surprisingly Puss pushed her slightly causing her to lose her balance. Kitty instinctively asserted herself with both hands around his neck. In the end gravity did its thing and the two fell into the grass.

- You don't call yourself a fool - said Kitty sarcastically, remembering what Puss had said a few days ago that they would "go a little" anyway, and she didn't believe that story.

-I'm just testing the territory - he said innocently.

-Sure ...- she replied. It wasn't annoying, otherwise, after everything that had happened could use good times like these. In addition, before they were playing tricks, or provoking each other, what prevented them from doing that again? They were never very innocent...

- You know what they say about the best part after the fights - Puss said.

- Reconciliation? - Kitty asked.

- Exactly - he replied.

They gave another kiss with the difference that he was more passionate, leaving aside the fears and insecurities and give step to everything they had repressed.

Good thing Claire left them alone ... maybe things would have screamed. Although they would have been excused that it was just an innocent kiss, that the days that had passed had affected him ...

Surely she would not believe them ...

The important thing was to move on to the next stage that it seems that some progress was already being made ...

In another town far away from Tres Maria, there was a servant running as fast as his feet could, he needed to get home as soon as possible since he had urgent news to tell his boss.

In a matter of minutes, he arrived at the great mansion, luckily waved the present to not waste time and headed for the room that interested him waiting to be able to meet him.

Once he was in front of that luxurious door, he touched it doubtfully, it was another thing to find him in a good mood...

- Sir? - He called, noting how agitated he was.

- What do you want? - He asked, unfortunately the mood was not good ...

- Can I come in? - He asked back.

- Come in - he said coldly.

The servant came in hesitantly, he was afraid of what he was going to tell.

- This won't please you, sir ...- he said.

- Can you get to the point? I can't waste time, I have work to do - he scolded.

The servant swallowed, hoping not to fly through the window ... literally.

-They ... came back - he said.

- Who them? - He asked angrily, fearing that it was not what he was thinking at the moment.

- Puss and Kitty ...- he replied.

- How long did you find out? - He shouted, he was really furious.

- Today sir ... But they have been together for more than three weeks ...- he answered.

- And now you're telling me? - He yelled back.

- It wasn't all clear, sir! Only rumors and nothing confirmed! That's why I arrived as fast as possible as soon as I was confirmed! - the frightened servant replied.

He exhaled angrily, it could not be that his plan was gone to shit.

- If I may, you should have acted faster ...- he said.

- You're not going to tell me how I should have done things! - He replied angrily.

- Sorry, sir - he said, looking at the ground.

He took a little breath, he was really frustrated, he lacked so little ...

- There's no choice but to take Plan B. This won't fail. She will be mine ... - said the obsessed, whatever it cost despite the time that had passed ... Kitty will be in his arms soon even if she did not want to.

No one will stop him. If he did it once, there would be a next one too. He will think of every detail in this plan.

- What do I do, sir? - He asked.

- I have to investigate some things that are cooking and we'll see what happens - he explained a little more calmly. - You are the most faithful servant I have, my partner - You will be my partner from now on.

The ex-servant was astonished. Had he lost his head? He was really obsessed with her, more so if it had been years since he last saw her.

- Actually, what you're going to do is take a few weeks off and then I'll call you about the news and the things you'll do - he explained.

- Okay ...- answered the still doubtful.

- Now I need to think - he ordered.

He left him alone, leaving in total silence.

Yes ... it was a matter of time, just needed a little patience to work what he is plotting ...

The end
