The orange cat in the tree wasn't Kyo. But he was watching Momiji carefully. Normally he'd death from above, but this kid looked like he might break of Spark landed on him. So instead the cat stretched and dropped into the path before him just outside the candy store.

"Don't suppose you got any fish in there?" he asked, leaving the opening for the kid to make a swedish fish joke.

That... very much was NOT Kyo. But it was a talking orange cat.
