The mall in Glacial Peaks, the main attraction of the town. You can find everything here, evensecret government infermation *coughcough*.

---

Kitani lead him into the mall and gasped as she looked aorund, never having been here before. "Maxius! It's huge! It looks smaller form the outside!"

Maxius looked around and smiled. "It is big....."

"Come on, come on, come on, come on!" She urged, tugging at his hand and leading him around, searching for a store that she would like.

Maxius followed her, he looked at the various stores. "Im following...."

She stoped and pointed to a Debs, flailing her arm and looking up at the taller male. "Can we go there?! Can we, cane we, can we, can we, can we?!"

He shrugged. "I guess............"

She squealed and released his hand running into the store happily and making a be line for the pajamas in the back of the store.

Maxius walked in and looked around not seeing anything of intrest.

Not finding any pajamas she thought were cute or practical, she turned and headed for the lengerie. She grabbed a pair of white underwear with a fishnet heart cut out in the front, a purr escaping her throat. "Maxxie!" She called out.

Maxius walked over to her. "Yeah...."

"How do you think these would look on me?" She asked, holding the underwear out for him to see, smiling cutely and innocently.

Maxius blinked and looked at them and turned around. "I.....I dont know...."

"Aw, but I want your opinion!" She said in a soft pout, puckering her lower lip. "If I try them on would you give me your opinion?"

"I guess....I dont know....its up to you" he still faced the other direction.

She poked his shoulder blade softly. "Are you embarrassed or blushing?" She asked curiously, tilting her head and perking one ear.

"No....of course...not....." he turned to face her.

"Hn. Well, I'm gonna try these on. Wait right here!" She purred out, heading into the changing room to try the under wear on. A few moments later she opened the door to the room, her skirt dropped to the ground and the underwear showing on her pelvis and hholding in place with the straps on her hips. "So, what do you think?!" She asked eagerly.

Maxius stared at her. "your beautiful......I mean....they look good...." He looked away.

She blushed from his first comment, gesturing with her hand to the matching bra of the panties, an all white bra with a black heart on the left cup that looked to be made of fishnet, but was not. "Maybe more beautiful with the proper upper clothing on?" She asked mekely, her ears falling back against her head.

Maxius nodded and looked away from her.

"Could you grab it for me, please?" She asked kneeling down and grabbing her skirt from the ground, dusting it off gently.

Maxius smiled slighty. "Of course......." he grabbed it and handed it to her.

She smiled and slipped the bra onto her form, reaching back and hooking it. She readjusted the straps on her shoulders and wagged her tail, her blush slowly fading. "Now what do you think? Look better now?" She asked, tilting her head slightly and perking one of her ears.

Maxius smiled slightly. "Yes much better......." his green eyes stared at her face then looked away.

She giggled softly and shut the door, stripping the underwear off of her form and replacing the skirt onto her form. She stepped out holding the panties and bra in her hand, a purr mixed with a hum coming from her. She grabbed a small light blue shirt on her way to the cashier, her tail also picking up a necklace with a solid silver cross one it. She placed the stuff onto the cpunter and let her ring it all up, handing her the money when it was all bagged and handed back to her. "Come on, Maxxie." She purred out.

Maxius smiled then followed. "coming..........."

She smiled and took her necklace out of the bag, removing the cardbora on the chain that held the price of the piece of jewelry. She handed the necklace back to Maxius, smiling warmly. "Could you put this on me? I never was good with small hooks such as these because of my claws and all."

Maxius took it and gently put around her neck and clipped it.

"Thank you!" She said greatfully, turning around and hugging him. She pulled back from him and began to look around excitedly. She nudged his side softly and purred. "Where do you wish to go?"

Maxius smiled then looked around. "I have no I idea.....I havent been here before.......you pick.."

"I think you and Aiden need some new clothes." She pointed out rather gently, tugging at his sleeve softly.

Maxius looked at his clothes. "I think my clothes are fine......" He looked at her.

"Mhm." She smirked softly and reached into the bag to retreave her shirt. She slipped it on after removing the tag and pulling the sticker from it, smoothing it out gently against her stomach. She cooed in contentment and walked around him, hugging her arms around his neck and wrapping her legs around his waist. "They look kind of faded... But if you're fine with them then that's all that matters really."

Maxius looked at her and smiled. "Do you think I need new clothes?"

"Well, if you wish to blend in with the snow then no, but if you wish to stand out against it a bit without the help of the black in your bangs then yes... I'm sorry, I'm nagging, aren't I?" She laid her head against his shoulder softly.

He looked at his clothes then at her. "Ok then......you can help me....."

"Really? Do you and Aiden wear the same size?" she asked, her ears perking and her tail wagging happily.

He nodded. "Yes we do......."

She nodded and smacked her heels against his thighs as if she were wearing spurrs and he were a horse. "Giddy up, Maxxie. Time to go shopping, male style."

He smiled and walked around. "Right....."

"Ah! Go in there! How do you pronounce it? Ambercrobie and Fitch? Let's look around in there. Maybe we can find some jeans that you may like."

Maxius walked in and looked at all the clothes in the store.

She nuzzled her nose into his back in an attempt to scratch it, pulling back and dropping from his body, she turned and sneezed. She rubbed her nose and looked back at Maxius, smiling gently. "So, anything catch your interest?"

"I dont know.......you pick something for me to wear...." He looked around.

"Alright, alright.. Do you like dark blue jeans or light blue jeans? And since you two are like yin and yang then I would suppose he likes the opposite of yours?" ?She guessed, tilting her head a bit.

Maxius smiled and nodded. "You pick up stuff fast.....I like the light ones....."

"Well, when you said you even out each other's powers it just reminded me of the powers of yin and yang, good and bad... Though, I don't think Aiden is a bad guy, mind you." She chuckled softly and nodded. "I guess I should've known that seeing as you have light hair and you control light." She turned on her pad of her degigrade paw and began to go through the jeans on the desks and whatnot, stopping at a small pile of just the right shade of blue to actuallyt still be considered blue. "What size do you wear?"

Maxius thought for a moment "32 waist and 33 length......." he smiled.

"Got it." She rummaged through the pants, pulling out a pair fromthe pile and holding them by the waist and letting them unfold. Her tail wagged slowly as she turned, holding them out to Maxius and eyeing him and the pants both. "Go try them on while I find a pair for Aiden, kay?" She asked.

Maxius smiled and nodded. "Ok...." he grabbed the pants and walked into a changing room and took his pants off and put the new pants and took his shirt off so it wouldnt mess up the pants. "Alright....."

She picked out a pair of dark blue pants with a bit of golden embroidery on the back left pocket, humming softly as she made her way to the changing rooms. "Do they fit right and do you like them?"

Maxius smiled. "They fit fine and they are alright......" He looked at her.

"Well, coax the rag doll out, I'm sure he is able to move on his own by now.. I wanna see if he likes these." She readjusted the pants on her shoulder.

Aiden was standing behind her. "I heard that......." He grabbed the pants and walked into the changing room.

She flinched at his voice, moving closer to Maxius from her surprised jump. "When did he come out?" She asked, watching him walk to the changing room. "Tell me if you like them!"

Aiden took his pants off then put the new ones on and walked out. "Ok....." he stood in front of them.

"Do you like them?" She asked, her excitement as high as that of a kit's as it bounded around in the snow.

"Yeah.....i guess......." Aiden walked back into the changing booth and put his clothes back on.

"You both are so... so.. Unexcitable." She laughed out. "You want just a pair of simple shirts?"

They both shrugged. "Sure......."

"Ah, okay, so you both want a different shade of pink? Thast's doable." She mumbled, grumbling to herself as she noticed that damn near every shirt had it's face covered by the damn name of the store. "Hn. Ah, here we go." She murred out as she reached up to one of the mannequins and turnned him, seeing that the shirt it was modeling had no names or logos on the chest just simply on a sleeve.

They watched her then looked at each other then back at her.

"What size shirt do you wear?" She asked finding the pile of folded shirts that was being displayed on the dummy.

They both said medium. Aiden yawned and looked around.

She pulled one of the black long sleeve shirts out from the pile, tossing it behind her and smacking Aiden in the face by mistake. She hummed and walked around the display of clothing, reaching down and rummaging through a pile of navy blue shirts and holding it up, letting it unspread, to reveal the name and logo of the store across the chest of it. She shrugged tilted her head slightly, looking from the shirt to Maxius, then back again. "Lighter color." She muttered inaudibly, folding the shift back up and grabbing a lighter toned blue from the group of shirts, it being basically the same as the navy blue but lighter. "This, Maxius?" She asked, looking over to him and smiling.

Aiden glared at her. Maxius smiled. "Yes thats fine......"

Kitani fliched back slightly from the glare, not quite knowing why she recieved it till she saw his slightly ruffled hair and the shirt in his hand. "Did I hit you in the face with that? I'm sorry." She walked over to the two and draped the shirt over Maxius' shoulder, purring a bit. "I'm sorry, but they only sell long sleeves on account of it is cold out."

Aiden rolled his eyes. "Yeah.....ok...." Maxius smiled. "thats fine......"

Her jaw was slightly ajar when Aiden said this, it quickly snapping shut in a low groan. "But I am."

Aiden looked away. "Ok......" Maxius watched.

"Hn." She snorted and grabbed them both by the front of their pants, leading them off to the cashier to pasy for the clothing. She mumbled something under her breath about Rotten no good nekos, or whatnot.

Maxius and aiden followed her, actually they had no choice.

She released her grip on their pants and waited in line behind the few people before them. "Hey, I have a question. Where did you get those bells? They are kind of, you know, cute." She said, reaching up and touching Maxius' bell softly.

They looked at each other. "we dont know.....we have always had them...."

"Are these what was making those sounds when you were those little balls of light when we were playing a couple days ago?"

They both nodded. "Yeah......" Aiden yawned.

"You're tired still? Hm. Then you should head bakc into Maxius' body and rest up." She suggested, taking the clothes from his hands and placing them on the counter when they were up in line. She also took Maxius' and let the lady ring them up.

Aiden glared at her then disappeared into maxius.

"What's with all the death glares lately?" She asked, looking back at Maxius and tilting her head. "Does he hate me that much?"

Maxius shrugged, "I dont know.....I dont think he does......"

She sighed and shook her head, handing the money to the female when she asked of it, taking the bag into her hand when it was handed to her. "Well, come on. I'm in the mood for a chocolate shake.

Maxius smiled and took the bag from her. "Ill carry it......"

She smiled and nodded. "Alright, but I wouldn't have minded. Do you want something to drink, as well, Maxius?" She asked, walking out thorugh the entrance of the store, her tail flicking slightly as she looked around.

He wrapped his tail around himself like a belt. "No....im fine..." he smiled.

"Alright." She nodded and let him in the direction of the foodcourt, her nose leading her. She reached back and grabbed his hand, not wanting him to lose her in the crowd of people. "So, Maxius. How many fights have you and your brother ever gotten into?"

Maxius looked at her then at the ground. "To many........way to many...."

"With each other? Hm. Well, how many times did he turn out the winner or vise versa?"

"No one ever wins.......we cant beat each other..." he smiled.

"Ah, I see... Can't beat each other.. That must be a real damper on your egos."

Maxius shrugged. "Not really........"

She smiled and lead him to a small DQ stop, pulling him close to her form as she waited in line, leaning her form back against him in a tired fashion. "I thnk I wore myself out with all my bouncing." She chuckled.

Maxius smiled at her as she leaned on him.

"It may just be the exaustion speaking for me, Maxxie, but I seem to recall you calling me beautiful. Care to tell me if it was just cause I was in a pair of underwear or because you really think that...?" She asked sheepishly, blushing a bit.

Maxius smiled. "No...I think your just tired....."

"Yeah, I think you're right... damn my bouncung and excited ways." She joked, looking up at him. "I won't ask anymore now, but I'll ask later" She warned gently, smiling and nuzzling into his chest softly as she shut her eyes and let out a small yawn.

He smiled. "Ill be ready to tell you later....."

"And don't lie or you'll make me cry." She giggled softly and moved up in the line, placing her order in a sort of upbeat tone that denied how exausted she was feeling. "Ah, screw the milk shake. I want a large caramel french vanilla moo latte please." She reached into her pocket and handed him four dollars, waving off the change she was offered back. She lead Maxius down the counter and waited patiently for her iced coffee drink.

Maxius waited with her looking around at the people.

When she got her drink she put her unwrapped straw into it and drank a bit of it, purring happily to herself. "Ah, Maxxie, try it! Please?"

Maxius took a drink and smiled. "Its pretty good......"

She smiled warmly at him and grabbed his hand, leading him away from the small Dairy Queen. "Ready to start heading back to the village?"

Maxius looked at her. "Are you?"

"Well, I wishto sleep, that is what I'm ready for, and I can;t well do that in this mall.. There are too many freaks around who would try to rape me while I slept." She said in an innocent yet joking voice, kind of sarcastic. "No, once we get over the hill I would like to rest... if tha is alrigfht with you and Aiden."

Maxius nodded and smiled, the bell on his neck jingled gently. "Thats fine....."

She let out an amused giggle as she turned around and swatted at the bell, completely distracted now by it's ringing.

Maxius smiled and grabbed her hand gently. "Dont hit the bell please............."

"Aw.. Okay." She said softly, petting the bell gently with her free hand before gripping his hand softly and walking once more towards the exit of the mall. She took a drink of her beverage and let out a cross between a purr and a churr, a slight blush on her face. "I'm sorry for swatting your bell."

He smiled. "its ok....its just....I dont want anyting to happen to it......"

She shook her head and sighed softly. "Maxxie, I would never break anything that you or Aiden had since, well, forever. I grew out of that stage of playfulness when I was ten or eleven." She slowed her pace slightly so that she was right at his side. She released his hand and wrapped her arm around him, she would've wrapped the other around him in a hug but she wanted to drink her iced coffee so badly.

Maxius looked at her and smiled softly. He looked around with his green eyes.

She pushed the door of the entrance to the mall open with her hip and walked out with Maxius at her side, humming softly to herself as she headed back out to Glacial Peaks.
