Title: Ship’s Cat

Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: Mild PG for carcass butchering and slight language.
Characters: Ensemble.
Setting: General.
Summary: The Quin Zaza acquires an unlikely new crew member.
Disclaimer: They belong to Taku Kuwabara. I’m just playing with them.
Notes: Written for the prompts of “Cat” at fan_flashworks, and “Pets” at genprompt_bingo. This also utilized a prompt set from getyourwordsout (jealous, aggressive, oily, noxious, and mean), even though a single work that included all five prompts did not qualify for the challenge.
In memory of my first cat, who I first saw being pulled not out of a dragon’s entrails, but out of a car engine. *g*

( The staring drakers unanimously edged closer, as if drawn by a mutual fascination and dread. )
