Lyra stopped when she reached Toshimi.
"So, what did I forget?" Lyra asked.
"Nothing, Mia said that a customer came in and was looking for you." Toshimi replied.
"Looking for me? Why?"
"I don't know, but she gave me 3 pictures and a gold locket." Toshimi handed the pictures to Lyra and Lyra looked at them.



Lyra froze, and her hands began to shake.
Its that girl, from the window. Lyra shook her head.
I'm not going to let it bother me
"Wow, thats weird, well let's go look at cats." Lyra said as she walked inside, Toshimi was behind her.

Anna looked up at Maria.
"Once you pass the pet supplies its the next room." Anna said. Lyra stood next to the counter and Toshimi did as well.
"So they are in the back?" Lyra questioned.
"Yeah, the dogs are in the room next to it!" Anna continued.

Lyra was instanly attracted to that cat.
"Aw, she is cute." It says here she's not even a year old yet." Lyra continued reading.
"And she doesn't have a name." Toshimi walked over to the group of small black kittens.
"These guys are cute too." she said, rubbing the head of one of the small ones. Lyra began to think about the pictures. She remembered the bak of one of them and what it said.

"I'm sorry girls,
I had to kill him. He knew to much! I'm sure he told you everything! You're next Lyra Kari Takaya and Toshimi Mizuki Takaya!

~The Duchess~"

What could it possibly mean? All Lyra could do is try to find out who this woman was.

Anna walked into the room.
"Is there anything you guys need." she asked.
"Yeah, I'd like to hold this little orange kitten." Lyra said. Anna nodded and opened the cage. Lyra reached in and picked up the kitten, scratching it behind its right ear. It began to purr and even mew contently.

Anna walked over and opened the cage for Maria. Lyra smiled and looked over towards Maria, but instead she gasped when she saw the same woman from the pictures staring at her. She froze and the cat began to meow. She closed her eyes quickly then opened them back up, she was gone.

what is going on? She put the cat back in the cage and closed it.
"i think I'm going to adopt this one," she said to Maria.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just seeing things. Its probably from the lack of sleep. Yeah, I really like this one. She's adorable! Have you ever thought about adopting another cat?" she asked. Lyra walked over to Toshimi. She was holding one of the black kittens and little black and white one. Lyra smiled and scratched them both behind the ears.

Lyra walked over to the orange kitten she was petting earlier. The cage wasn't locked so she went over and opened it back up. She picked him up scratched behind its ears.
"Congratulations, your gonna have a new owner." she said, looking over at Toshimi.
"So, have you decided on which one you want?" Lyra asked.
"We can get two more, right?" Toshimi asked.
"The apartment allows 4 so, yeah."
"So why don't we get these two?"
"Ok, sounds good." and what about coffee over there, he's cute." Lyra walked over to Maria and the small orange kitten began to sniff coffee. Lyra laughed.
