Don't Blame Meow for Injuries [Asher]

The teen only groaned and grumbled, trying to properly breathe, while waiting for Karin to exit the room. Maybe it was for the best not to respond that he wasn't interested in feet in any kind of manner. For once, he was thinking about his responses, it seemed! Once she had, Asher plopped back onto the mattress for a moment, letting out a huff. Girls were such hassles!
Of course Fluffykin liked the tuna! Her human gave her some, on occasion, but whenever the parents were around, they'd scold him for 'making her fat,' so they had to be careful! This was just a delight. Especially because Piper really couldn't care less how fat their cat got. Fat cats were also happy cats, provided they were healthy, after all.
"You sound jealous," the girl hummed from her seat, eyes finally lifting from her book. To hate Asher's sleep, of all things? "Sure you're not fond of him?"
This was perfectly timed with Asher's bedroom door opening again, as the redhead finished pulling a shirt over his head, "she's not my type, anyway," he pointed out. Oh, wow, was he seriously listening to all of that? And got dressed this fast? Surely, Karin couldn't complain about that, at least!
"Ah, right. She isn't 'model' enough for you?"
Cleaning his glasses on the end of his shirt, he sleepily looked to Whiskers, then to Karin. "You know, you're in earshot of her, right?" Why did everyone keep talking like the girl wearing the cat hat wasn't actually there? Asher was even staring at her!
Meicoomon looked up to Karin, ears twitching. If only she could tell Karin that this was totally normal household behavior!
Piper scoffed, looking back to her book, "oh, so now you're worried about manners? You both have me fooled." Fooled about what, one had to wonder? Well.. that should be obvious. They were too 'not' friendly with one another! This was weird. Asher didn't usually have girls come over!
"It's too early, I need caffeine," the boy mumbled, slipping past Karin and toward the kitchen. "Should I wear a jacket, or is it going to be too warm?"

"Me? Jealous? HA! None of us wished for me to be jealous to his sleep of all thing. Just what sort of sad girl am I if I'm jealous toward something abstract like sleep? I'm taken, and even if I'm not, I wouldn't even date him even if he's the last man on this face of the earth. I'd flirt with girls instead!"
Of course Asher just have to answer it. Karin simply tossed a thick magazine to his face. "Shut up you creep."
Of course the sister also have to treat as if she wasn't there. She just turned to Ms. Fluffyin. "Ms. Fluffykin, these two really are related, don't you think? They treated me like an air... But at least the sister got more common sense than the brother... " she singsonged, pressing the Meicoomon's paw pads gently. "Maybe I should talk you in Meow-go? Maybe that's more refreshing? You should come to my house instead, I'll feed you with salmon next time..." What's this!? Bribery? Well who knows!
"Dunno, up to you. Bring just in case. Don't is fine," Karin answered offhandedly. "What's essential for me to not snap at you for every single of your stupid mistake will be Ms. Fluffykin. So absolutely bring her," as she said that, she hugged the Meicoomon and leaned her head softly on top of her head, nuzzling it slightly.
"...This quality of fur is unacceptable. She could get even fluffier," she muttered, glaring at Asher accusingly. "This must because of stress."

"Hey, never know," Piper shrugged, listening to Karin go off about how she would never be interested in Asher. People worked in odd ways, and the younger sister certainly had no desire to examine that.
Either way, with a magazine thrown, Asher reached up with both hands to properly catch the item. "I'm the creep? Would you rather if I said you are my type?" That would just be super-creepy! Either way, the redhead didn't seem to intend on retracting his prior statement. No, there was no way that someone as violent as Karin could be his type!
Being addressed, the Maine Coon digimon nodded her head. It was very obvious that Asher and Piper were closely related. Or just dealt with one another very frequently. Of course, Piper could hear something about taking that cat home and had to chime, "don't steal our cat." And, don't test what the girl would do if Karin tried! Not that she honestly expected the stranger to be a cat thief.
While Meicoomon purred happily, while being hugged and nuzzled, Asher was busy pulling a can of coffee out of the fridge, wandering to grab a hoodie, and then waited near the door. "I'd get stressed out if you hugged me, too," he teased, opening the drink. "I'm ready whenever you are. Where are we even going?"

"Well, I dunno, I literally did lot of violence to him i very short amount of time, why by doing that it could leads to jealousy? Tsundere moment? That's rather idiotic, I'm someone who works with logic. If I want to get liked, I'll act more subdued than that and probably far less honest. If I like someone, I wouldn't harm them!"
Karin looked at Asher unamusedly. "If you say that I'm your type after all those kicking then I'm seriously pitying you... you huge masochist." she answered with half closed, disgusted eyes. "I can't believe that I would be kicking some masochist, maybe I'll just start asking Ms. Fluffykin to scratch you instead rather than doing it myself."
She just chuckled when Piper said that. "Well, to be fair, if she came to my house, it's not stealing. It's voluntary roaming. So you best give her some collar if you don't want her to be kept by other people when she's roamed. She got no collar yet, right? You should try asking her what sort of collar she wanted."
Now it's Karin's turn to raise an eyebrow at Asher. "Say, Ms. Fluffykin, who's less stressing when hugging you, me or him?" she asked, stroking the top of her head, then used her paw to point at Asher. "There, see?" Of course it's silly and ridiculous, but that doesn't matter. It's just a harmless game. "Well if you're ready, let's go."

"People show love in dumb ways," the younger sister responded, shifting into a more comfortable position to read her book. "But, you just keep saying that." Love didn't know logic! It knew impulse and way too many feelings to want to even consider! God forbid there be a day that Piper ever found the meaning of the word.
Asher hummed, playing with the tab on the can of coffee. "I'd like to think I'm more of a sadist," he commented, playfully, before taking a drink. "But, I could always appreciate your enthusiasm!" Okay, with some caffeine in his system, Asher was starting to feel a little more like his usual annoying self! "Having a hard time not making jokes that'll get me kicked, though," he admitted. Then again, Asher's 'jokes' weren't much of jokes at all! Sometimes, they even came off as more of a threat than anything else.
It was all in good fun though, right?
Piper shrugged about the collars. "I don't like collaring anything, unless it's mandatory," she informed, flipping a page in her book. "She's not really supposed to be an outdoor cat, anyway." Like someone who would steal a cat would actually care about their collar, anyway!
"Nya?" Fluffykin meowed, with her paw being moved. Eh, it worked. Asher sometimes hugged too hard, after all!
"Well, it's a great triangle, then. I stress Whiskers out, you stress me out, and," there was a pause, "okay, so it's not a triangle. But, you get the point. You stress me out." Asher shrugged, pulling the door open and waiting for Karin. "Ladies first. Whiskers, that is," he added with a cocky grin. "Lead the way!"

"I'll let you think what you want to think," Karin finally answered, hoping that will bring an end to the topic about her crush to Asher. Honestly, that's CREEPY. That's CREEPY AND REALLY CREEPY, he doesn't want ANYTHING to do with Asher romantically, not even his best bud he asked for love consultation!
"Sadist my ass," Karin snorted. "This is from someone who made too much flirty comment and seem to enjoy making it despite all my kicks, and he doesn't seem to learn the slightest. What sadist is there? I only see a masochist if not a bonehead." Of course she just snorted again when she heard about the other part about making jokes that won't earn him a kick. "Go to some comedian academy for that. Your jokes are often tasteless if not downright an insult." Yeowch, the girl never pulled anything back, did she?
"Well, have it in your way, I guess," she muttered.
Then Asher got gall to say that she's stresses him out. "Fluffykin doesn't stress me out, she heals me. Now YOU stresses me out in some different way. Enough to make me send a flying kick to you, eh? I don't mind doing that right now, especially since I got my boots."
She just snorted when he commented about Fluffykin's gender. "Funny how... ah, you used to think that Ms. Fluffykin is a gentleman," she drawled. "Finally accepting your mistake and my teaching of common sense?"

"Well," the teen started, with a smile, "I'm clearly not masochistic enough to enjoy your kicks, considering I've been holding back to avoid them!" Hopefully, that would make a good point. But, Karin was stubborn, so Asher strongly doubted it would be absorbed. "Society frowns upon a lot of gestures that I would have done, otherwise, if you weren't female," he added, as if repeating a page from a book.
Society was kind of sexist, wasn't it?
Then again, maybe that was more America. He wasn't going to bother finding out how people around Japan viewed sexism. Talking to people was too much effort, to begin with! That, and listening to rants or rambling got horribly boring, and falling asleep mid-conversation was always frowned upon!
"At least one of us is trying to be polite!"
To all of this, Piper felt the need to chime, "if you decide to keep this one, make sure Mom gets to meet her."
No. Just no. Karin was not a 'this one' and there was no reason to introduce her to Piper's mother! Why did his little sister have to say things like that?! "Maybe you're why I have no friends."
"That's definitely not the reason."
Taking another drink of his coffee, Asher shrugged at Karin. She could really be a pain, couldn't she? Why would Piper think he'd be interested in that? Too much of a handful! "Well, he's more of a lady than you," the spirit user deadpanned.
Oh no. That actually came out of his mouth. It was supposed to be inner monologue!

"Knowing you can dodge but you're holding back to not dodge is masochistic enough for me--no, actually, it's REALLY masochistic. Also, what would have you done to me, punch back? That's exactly why we're doing this training, Asher. To get you to ignore those matters. In public, punching woman is indeed frowned upon no matter where you are, but you know where would ignore it."
Karin just snorted when he said he's trying to be polite. "And horribly failed at it? Might as well as no need to be polite at all!"
Karin just facepalmed when Piper suggested that she should meet with their mother. "No, just... no, I got a boyfriend and I'm happy with him, so no. Plus, as nice your brother is, to be used as stress reliever, that is, I'll get more stress near him that getting my stress level decreased! I don't know if this was the case or not, I'd say 'that's not only the reason' just to be safe, but I'd prefer to not be matched with him!"
Karin simply smiled when Asher said that, but her elbow is already going full throttle to his stomach again. "Yes, I'm not. Suck it, Asshat. Well, I'll be going now~"
She of course would soon guide him to Shibuki Forest, like what he did on the beginning of the thread.

"Have you considered I don't dodge because, either I'm not expecting it, or I'm trying to humor you?" Both seemed like logical excuses. Only someone crazy would actually like to be in pain! But, jeez, talk about rapid escalations. "I wouldn't hit you unless I legitimately couldn't get you off of me, or something, and it hurt," he frowned, in an exaggerated manner. Did Asher seriously look like the violent type?
Apparently Karin thought so. "I'm an actor," then again, the teen hadn't actually told her that before, so it was probably relatively knew news. Maybe he should have expected her to jump to conclusions on violence. "I talk with my actions, and even touching a girl's shoulder freaks some people out." Or touching their face. Or their hair. Or...
Okay, stop thinking of lists of things not to touch.
Either way, Piper didn't seem to be arguing any further on the subject of if Karin was, or was not, dating her brother. She apparently didn't care enough to continue the conversation!
And, to prove a point from earlier, Asher shifted a hand to catch Karin's elbow, shifting to displace the momentum by trying to pull her entire body a little closer to him. This way, maybe he wouldn't have another creaky wrist!
But, once that was all done, the teen found himself following Karin to, well, who-knows-where. He had stopped paying attention to where they were walking. Eyes shifted to Jeanne, when she had come into sight, analyzing whatever she was holding. A wooden sword?
Why did Asher suddenly regret this?
"So, uh, what exactly are we doing?"

"Just for your information," she began "You don't have to humor me. I'm not the kind that would relentlessly hit you unless you did something really annoying. But then again, no, rather than humoring me, should I say that you find it hard to dodge? Also, I don't think you're someone who would voluntarily humor someone who would hurt you... So the point is moot and you're just unable to dodge."
When she pulled her to his direction on the elbow strike, she immediately rotates herself and grabbed him closer instead, without harming him. However... the next action would most likely bewilder him. "...Talking with action, hmn?" her voice suddenly shifted to few octaves deeper, sounding more husky. "By pulling me closer to you like this, what would you expect from me?" she suddenly grabbed his collar, pulling him closer to her height. Her deep blue eyes just have that strange... look on it, like a predator. "...So tell me, Mr. Actor, if we both talk with action now..." she traced his neck from the collarbone to his adam's apple, leaving her index finger there "....What would my action speaks, I wonder?"
While normally this mode came out when she's freaking out, she could tap to it easily while not too! And plus it's more controlled. Hopefully Asher didn't remember that she's an ex-actress at it. Despite she's just playing in one movie, one praised her for her acting.
On the training ground, Jeanne just chuckled. "Well, it's mostly just simulation for your spirit using, and maybe just overall building your stamina so you can have easier time in Digital World... Oh, we'll also do simulation of dangerous situation I guess. Don't worry, it's nothing real."

Were these two seriously just going to go back and forth like this all day? Piper let out an audible sigh, flipping the page in her book. It was a good thing that she wasn't studying right now. Between Asher and Karin, there was no way she'd be able to retain any information! Heck, what had she even read on the last three pages? Was she going to have to restart this chapter?
At least it seemed that the redhead boy wasn't planning on arguing much more about his ability to dodge. Who cared what Karin thought, anyway? Okay, he really did! But Asher wasn't going to admit it!
Just like he wasn't going to admit that he didn't expect her to bring herself even closer to him, after he had tried to prove a point. Why was she talking like that? Asher didn't resist in the slightest when pulled to the girl's level, managing to maintain a neutral expression for the time being. Yellow eyes flickered back and forth slightly, trying to subtly pick up on Karin's facial expressions, before settling to maintain eye contact.
Touching his neck? That might have caused a little tension. And a lot of confusion. "H--uh?" The teen resisted a small sputtering sound that tried to escape his throat. Unfortunately, the faint blush falling over his face couldn't be recalled so easily. Talk about a weird alteration of roles. It was like, suddenly, Karin was a cat and Asher was the mouse under her paw. It couldn't stay that way, if he wanted to maintain any dignity! How was he supposed to act?
Act.
With a gentle smile forming, it began. "Would you like an honest answer?" The tone sounded more formal than usual, as Asher shifted to bring his face ever-so-slightly closer to the actress. Be careful. She still had a finger on his neck, after all. It wouldn't take much effort for Karin to just start choking him!
Meanwhile, Piper began to loudly clear her throat. These two needed a room, if they were going to act like this! Preferably not one in this house, either! "Not a couple. Right," she grumbled, lowly. Karin might actually be worse than the model, when it came to Asher's 'girlfriend' material! At least the model couldn't try to out-act her brother!
But, Asher couldn't really decide what was worse, once on the training grounds. Karin's skin-crawling flirtations, or whatever spirit-using-simulations were. Okay, maybe he'd actually rather the training! Maybe? "Nothing real," he repeated, with an eyebrow raised, "why am I more concerned about whatever we're doing that needs that kind of warning?"

"Fufufufu, such a cute sound. I wonder what else would came out from there, hm? Oh Asher, you're being contradictory at this point, you said you speak with your action. If your action already say that you're blushing from embarrassment," she made her finger trails down from his neck to his chest before pressing herself closer to him. "... what is there for you to confess other than the truth? The voice that came out from your throat already betrayed all of your act to save your dignity. How unexpected, to think that there can be a reaction like this too..." she touched his cheek and whispered on his ear, hoping her breath tickled him somewhat "...how unexpectedly cute. It make me want to savor that reaction more."
She of course could do more, and she honestly hoped that if only Jeanne was here and she could film most of these. It's priceless to see his reaction! Though she somehow assumed that Asher already forgot that she ever mentioned that she was an actress, even if it's for a year. Of course when she's in this mode, she completely ignored Piper's interruption. It's HER time to be RUDE.
"Because if I want to train you for real," Jeanne twirled her sword slightly "I would've asked--nay-- ordered you to walk on a burning bridge?" she offered. Of course while the angel in holosuit usually just played around, this time she meant business. A smile that etched on her face looked scary.

This was just all sorts of wrong. "Would you like to test it?" Was that an offer, or a challenge? Yellow eyes shifted to examine Karin's face properly. Women were way too discomforting for this! "I'd call it endearment, rather than embarrassment," he defended, lightly. "Your act would be more convincing if you stopped analyzing aloud," was his next comment, trying to pull from the play that they were performing.
Regardless, more physical contact was brought upon the poor teen, making the entire act even worse. Initially, one hand reached around Karin with intent to pull her, and likely trap her, against him, but ultimately, the actor froze. Sure, the other person involved was an actress. But, she was way too close. Warm breath brushed against his ear, while the teen resisted a small shudder. Inches from touching the girl's back, hand wavered before dropping, while Asher himself struggled to jolt backwards without losing his balance.
"Red flag!" He alerted, still managing to keep himself from tripping on his own feet. For now, at least. "I-I really can't-" Oh, was that a stutter? Crap. It was totally a stutter!
From the comfort of her unpleasant view of this play, Piper chirped a potentially valuable weapon for Karin, "he doesn't like to touch girls." Best way to phrase that, Pip! It could be taken so wrong! And, on top of that, nobody really needed to know that Asher would falter with physical contact courtesy of a specific gender! "Figured you'd know that, with dating him and everything." And, of course, she had to add another jab about relationships!
For now, Asher just had one concern about the burning bridge comment. "Why are you setting bridges on fire? That really doesn't sound angelic." Sure, Jeanne likely wasn't serious about that ever being an option for training, but hey! Were Angel Digimon actually that evil?
Scratch that thought. This one put him in a collar once. They clearly couldn't be trusted!

"Test it how? See if you croak next after I" she traced her long nail on his neck as she said it "do this?" Of course now with that long nails, one could say that Karin is indeed a cat. Except those nails aren't claws of course. "Blushing from endearment? Why, this is the first time I heard that's possible. I have no idea. Analyzing aloud? That's called psychological warfare, Ashfurr."
However, it's seem that he felt uncomfortable when touched by opposite gender, enough to make him stutter. Instead of making the girl laugh, she only raises an eyebrow. "....Are you actor for real or are you just never acted with a girl before? I thought that level of intimacy should be really common out of Japan? Like seriously? Also Piper, how many times should I repeat it to you? We're not dating, hence why I have no idea about his problem. I think I'm more passionate to my boyfriend more than this."
Still, she cannot help but to lean in close to Asher's ear and whispered a small tease "...Now I got your weakness. Be sure to treat me extra nicely, OK?"
"Angelic?" Jeanne repeated, looking mildly amused. "Sorry, before I'm an angel, I'm first and foremost a knight. Even if I'm not one, then second of all I'm a drill sergeant from hell. Don't worry, I don't think it'll harm you if you're with your spirit form, Asher. Anyway, shall we begin?"

Rather than making a sound, the spirit user clamped one of his canine teeth down onto his tongue, subtly stifling any thought to react to the nail on his neck. After all, it was awfully hard to focus on nails tracing flesh when pain was pulsing through his tongue! "You don't know me very well," Asher commented, initially in regard to the blush, but he found it suiting to use it as response to the entire statement that the girl had made, including the part about psychological warfare.
"Actors have pre-planned skits, and contracts that don't get the police called on me, in the end," he was quick to argue. Women could play victims far too easily for him to willingly step into a trap like that! "You wanna write up, and sign, a contract saying you consent to it? Then, maybe I'll talk with actions," he huffed, tilting his head away. Maybe that was the actor's pride talking. Either way, he hoped Karin didn't take the offer seriously!
With a shrug, the little sister reached for a cookie off the coffee table. "I know you two aren't dating." If they were, Asher wouldn't be afraid to place his hands on the cat-hatted girl! "And, I really don't want to know about your passion." Ew. Relationships.
Tilting further away, yellow eyes focused on the ceiling, rather than the girl invading his personal space. "I'll-" No, rethink whatever might be about to come out! "Are you saying I haven't been nice to you? You're in my house!" This seemed like a fair argument!
"Right. Demonic, then," the teen grumbled, hearing his cat's snickering from behind him. 'Ashpurr' was going to hate today, wasn't he? He was already regretting agreeing to any of this, after all! "May as well. No time like the present, right?" After all, once this training was done, he might not be alive for the future!
