---Your P.O.V---

It all started when I was playing hide-and-seek with my friends, (F/N) and (F/N). I was looking for them, but I got lost. Weeks later, a Hunter found me and put me in this pet shop. I've been here for a very long time. 5 months, actually. I sit in my cage, my (T/C) tail swishing gently around me. I watch as a black spiky haired, brown eyed boy enters. Behind him, a white fluffy haired, blue eyed boy follows. I hide my blush. White-hair is quite cute. Spiky-hair walks around, making baby noises and squealing at all the cute animals. That's what everyone usually does. They ignore me, and go for the normal, much cuter animals. Like dogs and cats. Even though I am half-cat, they don't seem to take a liking to me. I've  been here so long and I'm not attracting any attention, that I once overheard one of the employees here talking about putting me down. I'm still scared. I look over to White-hair to see him looking at me, his blue eyes sparkling with confusion. I watch him walk up to the counter where the current employee is. I know him. His name is Devon. Devon is mean to me and lazy. So I like to trick him. Whenever we're alone in the store, I talk and he looks around, wondering who said that. He always settles on me. "I know you can talk..." He would hiss at me. I would meow and shrug, acting as if I can't. Every time he turned around, I would talk again. The exchange would go on for hours, especially when business was slow.

"Hey, why is that girl in a cage?" White-hair asks Devon. Devon simply rolls his eyes. I blush. No one's ever asked about me before!

"A Hunter found it in the middle of the forest and brought it here. How the hell should I know?" Devon rolls his eyes again and responds snarkily. I want to scratch him for being so mean to White-hair.

"Okay? Well, why does she have cat ears and a tail?" White-hair raises an eyebrow.

"The only thing I know is that she's a rare species. There's a legend that somewhere far away from us, lies an animal kingdom. The creatures that live there have a body of a human, but ears and tail of an animal. Some features are different too. I never was one to believe in legends, but this girl is living proof. She's very valuable." Devon explains. I can tell that he's trying to advertise me with the last sentence. He wants me to get out of here and never come back. He would let me go, but his boss would get mad and fire him. He needs this minimum-wage job to pay for his cheap apartment and all the beer he has in his fridge. But that's besides the point.

"How much does that cat-thing cost?" White-hair asks. Wait, does he want to buy me? Devon responds with my price and White-hair pays. Devon attaches me to a (F/C) leash. He hands me to White-hair and says all of this random stuff about taking care of cats. White-hair and I aren't listening. We leave the shop and meet up with Spiky-hair at a cafe.

"Wow, Killua! Where did you get that?" Spiky-hair stares at me with wonder in his eyes. I shift uncomfortably. I've never been stared at like this before.

"From the pet store we went to earlier." White-hair, or Killua, responds.

"Oh." Spiky-hair sips his milk tea. "What will you name her?" He looks at me. Killua stares at me too. I blush and look away.

"I've got it!" Killua snaps his fingers with an idea. "(Y/N). (Y/N) (L/N)." He answers.

"What a great name! Let's bring her to your mansion!" Spiky-hair exclaims.

"No way! Mother will kill me if she ever finds out!" Killua protests.

"Of course not. (Y/N) can be your guard dog's new friend." Spiky-hair suggests.

"But (Y/N)'s a cat and Mike's a dog. They could get into a fight." Killua points out. Wrong. I don't get into fights with animals.

"Then we can make them be friends." Spiky-hair says with a hint of darkness in his sentence. What freaks me out is that he's smiling. Killua and Spiky-hair argue a bit for some more until Killua gives in and walks me to his mansion. He's been staring at me the whole time. What? Hasn't he ever seen a Neko walk before? Well...I suppose not...

---timeskip to later at night---

I watch as Killua comes out of the shower and wipes his hair, with nothing on but a towel wrapped around his waist. I blush, staring at him. He looks so cute...

"What's this? I never knew that cat-humans could be perverts too." He raises an eyebrow and smirks. That only makes him look cuter! My face goes even more red.

"I-I'm not like that...I swear!" I look away.

"D-did you just..." Killua trails off.

"Yeah. I can talk. Just because I have cat ears and a tail doesn't mean I can't talk, walk, and act like a human." I put my hands on my hips and give an arrogant sniff.

"Then why didn't you talk earlier?!" He asks.

"I didn't see why I needed to." I shrug. Suddenly, my stomach growls. That's right! I'm super hungry! "Hey, Killua, do you have any food?" I ask.

"I don't have any cat food. Do you want me to run out and get some?" He asks. This kid is unbelievable.

"Cat food?! Are you serious?! Just because I have some cat features, doesn't mean I want cat food! Bring some (F/F) up here!" I say disgustedly and scowl at him.

"Woah, chill! Sorry, sorry! I'll bring that up right away, your highness." He mumbles the last part. I hear it and give him a threatening look.

"What was that?!" I hiss at him.

"Nothing, nothing!" He laughs and runs downstairs, returning with my beloved (F/F). I quickly eat it all. He just stares at me. This kid is such a handful!
