Death Note one shots and short stories

Neighbors

It was a chilly evening as you returned home from work, you knew it was about to snow.

"Marshmallow? You in here girl?" You called for your cat, whom you found as a kitten a few years ago.

You could hear your cat's meowing in the other room, and you found her sitting at the window meowing at something outside. You gave her a per while looking out to see what she was wanting.

It was a chocolate colored cat hiding underneath the chair on you patio, shivering.

You pulled on your coat and walked out the patio door, before stopping a few feet from the chair.

You spoke calmly to the cat, waiting to see if you could coax it out from under the furniture. It slowly crawled out from its hiding place, obviously too cold to move too much. You walked to it, moving slowly, so it wouldn't feel threatened. You gave it a gentle pet, waiting to see how the strange cat reacts to you.

It leaned into your warm touch. You noticed that the cat had a collar and nametag. Its name was Snickers. Seems like you aren't the only person with a sweet tooth.

"Snickers, you want to come in and warm up? I can call your owner." You asked the cat, which seemed to regard you for a moment before moving closer to you, rubbing up against your leg.

You picked the chocolate colored kitty up and moved back to your apartment. You filled up the spare food bowl with cat food and watched the two cats interact.

You smiled as you walked over to your phone and called the number on tag. There was no answer, so you left a message, letting the owner know you found their cat and where they can find you.

After watching Marshmallow play with Snickers for a little while you were startled by the doorbell.

You opened the door to see a man with messy black hair and dark eyes gazing at you.

"I'm Ryuzaki, and I got a message saying you found my cat?" He introduced himself.

"I'm (First Name), it's nice to meet you. So Snickers is you cat then?" You asked as you let him into your apartment, it was far too cold to keep the door open, and it was starting to snow.

"Yeah, I found him on my way home from a trip. He must have snuck out as I was leaving for work. Thanks for bringing him into your house."

"It's not a problem. My cat seems to really like him, I only found him because she was meowing at him from the couch."

You led him into you living room where the two cats were chasing each other.

"It looks like Snickers made a friend. What's your cats name?"

"Her name is Marshmallow." You offered him some coffee to warm up, and you sat and talked for a while as you watched your cats. He grinned at the name, stating that you both must've been hungry when you named your pets. You laughed and explained that you had the same thought when you read his cat's name.

You found Ryuzaki very interesting, and you had a lot in common. You both love sugar more than anyone you've ever met. You both love bubble baths and anime, and you both love your jobs. He is a detective and you are a free lance profiler.

He has told you that he could really use a profiler on some of the cases he is following, and you agreed to assist him when he needed you, it was hard to find reliable work.
