'This is unbelievable' I think to myself. My tail swaying angrily behind me as I watched hundreds of people walk past me without a care. Teenagers on their way to school, adults on their way to work, even children passed by on the way to the local park near by.
It was a beautiful day in Shizume City. Springs cool breeze blew throughout the city, the buildings structures tall and brooding as always. Each huge screen displayed showed the news and announcements for the day. The trees that we're bare from winter had begun to sprout leaves again, and the flowers that had disappeared now dotted the evergreen grass with color. The weather was the best it had been in a long time. But despite that I was miserable.
My legs wobble as I stand up from my warm spot on the sidewalk and crawl over towards an abandoned alley. I crawl to the very back, sure to stay out of sight from others who might be passing by and only then do I transform into my human form.
I was what people would call special or of they knew who they were dealing with I would be referred to as a strain. A very clever strain at that.
My human form wasn't much. The only clothing I had was a (f/c) tattered long sleeved shirt that barely went past my thighs. I had (h/l) (h/c) hair and two different colored eyes, one was (e/c) and the other was (f/c). My only possession was the the single musical note earring I wore.
The alley floor was cold and I dug my nails into my shirt in attempts to cover my body more as I shivered. I was always cold now, even in the hottest weather and my stomach always growled like a bear on a rage. When was the last time I had food that wasn't rotted or previously feasted on by someone else? I couldn't remember. I had lost count.
I longed for my own meal, my own bed, my own home but of all places I was stuck in this filthy alley. The very thought made me sigh and close my eyes as I pressed my forehead against my knees. I was getting tired again, I was always tired now. My mind started to go blank and the sound of the city was starting to fade as I started to drift off to sleep, at least until I heard the sound of footsteps and a sweet smell waft through the air. The smell makes my nose twitch and I peek one of my eyes over my arm to see what the cause of the sound and scent. I was surprised to see a young man standing there, his head was tilted to the side like a confused puppy as he stared at me. In his hands he held a sack of what looked like groceries. "Did you see a cat come through here?" he asked. His voice was soft and sweet, a tone of voice I never got. I peek both of my eyes from over my arm to get a better look at him. He wore tan pants with a white button up shirt underneath a blue coat making me tilt my own head 'why is he wearing a coat in this weather?' I think. He had chestnut brown hair that reached just above his shoulders along with soft brown eyes, I also noticed he wore two bracelet's and one shining earring. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when he asks me the same question but I stay quiet and pull my knees closer to my chest. Everything goes quiet and I wait for him to leave but instead I hear a chuckle and the sound of cloth rustling. To my surprise I feel something warm wrap around my shoulders and snap my head up in question. The young man was just standing there with the sweetest smile I had ever seen making my heart pound. The sudden heat from my cheeks makes me look down and pull the coat closer to my body trying to soak up as much of the warmth as I could. "You don't have to be so nice..." I say quietly only for him to chuckle once again "you were the cat weren't you?" he asked making my eyes widen. "H-how did you-" "I know a lot of things" he says his smile only becoming wider. The next thing I know he crouches in front of me and holds out his hand "I'm Tatara Totsuka nice to meet you...?" I take his hand but I don't answer his question because well...I couldn't. "I don't have a name" I whisper shyly, scared that he wouldn't believe me or would laugh. But he didn't do any of those things instead he enclosed my hand with both of his and smiled even wider at me "Well how would you like to come with me? I could get you food, a bath" he then stands up and reaches his hand out once more as if to ask if I trusted him "and we could even look into that name situation" he said kindly. I stare at his hand and clutch the warm coat even tighter. I just met this man but yet...he treated me like no one ever has before. I longed for the warm hospitable feeling he gave me but he knew I was a strain. Did that mean he was one too? He didn't smell like one so I hardly doubted it but he could be involved with kings. Maybe he was one himself but I doubted that too since I didn't sense great power in his presence. What if he did just want to help and I turned him down over nothing? I sigh and take a deep breath "okay" I say and grab his hand and balance myself as he helps me up, seemingly happy with my answer. As soon as I stand my stomach feels weak and my legs instantly give out but Tatara catches me so I didn't hit the pavement "I-I'm sorry Mr. Totsuka" I stammer not knowing what else to say. "Don't apologize" he says back then I suddenly get an idea "here" I say and transform into my cat form in Tatara's arms. His eyes glimmer with fascination at the (h/c) cat in front of him that was still wrapped up in his coat. "Ready?" he asks me and I meow in reply making him smile "alright!" he cheers and makes sure I'm comfortable before picking up the almost forgotten bag he set down earlier before walking out into the crowd and making his way to only he knows where.

It seemed like forever until we finally stopped. The wind was much colder and stronger now but the sun was still high and the weather was still the same. I peek my head out from the coat and take a look at my surroundings. We were at the back of a large brick building with metal baskets of flowers hanging from the top. I couldn't see anything else except the wooden door we stood in front of. "Sorry" I hear Tatara whisper as he suddenly picks me up and stuffs me in his pant pocket making me mewl angrily at the gesture but none of the less I stay put as he opens the door and walks inside. I'm instantly hit with a wave of cool air making me shiver slightly. The sound of laughing and people talking makes my ears ring and I barely peep one my eyes out of Tatara's pocket to see what was going on. From the looks of it we were in a kitchen but Tatara sets the bag of groceries down except a small pink box he took from the sack and made his way to the other door on the opposite side of the room. Through there I see multiple people, all of them were men. They were all talking...well one was shouting, I think they were making fun of him but I didn't understand some of the words they said. But he caught my interest, he wore something black on his head covering up almost all of his auburn hair and he had sharp brown eyes. In his hands he held a board on wheels making me tilt my head I had never seen something of the sort. That's all the detail I could take in before I was pulled back into reality from everyone quieting down to say hello to Tatara. Everyone's words overlapped so I didn't try to understand all of it while Tatara said hello back. After quick hello's Tatara slips upstairs and into a bathroom, quickly locking the door behind him and pulling me out of his pocket. "There" he huffs clearly exhausted from everything. I slip out of his hands and land on my feet before sitting down on the tile floor, my tail twitched angrily behind me and I refused to look at him. I hear a soft chuckle behind me and a soft hand stroke my back "I'm sorry for shoving you in my pocket" he says clearly amused at my behavior.
"Will this change your mind?" he asks and pulls out that same pink box revealing a cupcake inside. My eyes widen and my mouth starts to drool at the very sight of it and I immediately change into my human form to grab the box. "I forgive you!" I say happily already starting to eat the sweet treat making Tatara laugh quietly "That's what I thought" he says, standing up and walking over to the tub in the corner. The sound of water running makes me look up from the already empty box and towards Tatara who was grabbing a towel. "I'll leave this here" he says, placing the towel of to the side and reaching for the door handle "I'll come back later to see if your done" he smiles and quickly leaves the room. I stare at the tub full of water and crawl over to it, sticking my hand in the semi warm water making a small smile make it's way onto my lips as I disregard my clothing and step into the warm water a content sigh escaping my lips.
~Time Skip~
"Tatara?" I whisper, my hand clutching the towel closer to my damp body as I step out into the hallway. The noise had quieted down but voices still echoed from downstairs and through the hall. My (h/c) hair was stuck to my cheeks and forehead with water making it hard to see. I walk down the hall with my nose in the air hoping to sniff out Tatara but my attention was pulled away from that by the sound of rustling to my right. In my heads I knew that I shouldn't sneak around but curiosity did kill the cat (omfg I'm so sorry). The noise came from the other side of a wooden door that was open just a crack. I open the door just enough to stick my head in and immediately recognize the room as a bedroom. Although it was very dark I could make out an outline of a couch and even see the unique wood design in the floorboards. On one side of the room was a bed with blankets messily pushed off to the side and a single pillow that rested at the head of the bed. The smell of cigarettes wafted throughout the whole room along with the sweet smell of springs gentle breeze. There on the left side of the bed just a few feet away was a window that led out to a small balcony. White curtains that hung from the window blew in the breeze and the colors of the city lights lit up the sky. I had never seen the city lights before, not like this. I only ventured on top of buildings when it was an emergency. I slip the rest of my body through the door and walk over towards the window my eyes focusing on nothing but the city lights. A small sigh escapes my lips and my hands clutch the towel around me tighter "I've been on the dirty streets for so long...I almost forgot how beautiful this city is" I say, a small smile making it's way onto my lips. Suddenly my back starts to feel warm despite the cold breeze and the scent of cigarettes was strangely stronger. Then out of know where I feel a warm hand grab the back of my neck and someones hot breath breathe against my ear "you have a lot of explaining to do".
Yay! first chapter is done! The person who grabbed you is Mikoto (if you couldn't already tell) lol you are screwed. Hope you enjoyed! I enjoyed writing it!
