who am I?

Ch.1 feline friend

(Izaya P.O.V.)

"Hahaha." Its been a terrible day.(not that I'd ever admit it to anyone.) What made it worse, however was the fact that I was terribly bored. I didn't get to play with my monster Shizu-chan today. The lovely humans that I loved so much continued to hate my guts, but what did it matter, I was above them and.... I sighed on the bench too exhausted to even finish that thought. So I decided to observe one of those humans who was most likely scurrying home to a girlfriend that probably wouldn't last long and dump him.

I silently laughed at that. Most relationships don't last very long and both people end up getting hurt.Why be in one in the first place. I sighed as he moved out of sight. Then, I was alone.... Again. Oh well. It can't be helped they're just jealous of me. The great Izaya Orihara who stands far above them.

I was about ready to go home and mess around online when a cat appeared out of nowhere and sat by my feet. The feline was beautiful, but looked as if she was almost starved to death. I quickly looked around to make sure no one was watching me and slowly reached down to pet it beind the ears. I also gave it the remains of my long cold and forgotten sandwich. " Here you go little guy. It's not poisoned I promise." I said as it gobbled the sandwich all up. I decided to get a good look at one of the only cats who weren't scared of me.

Then, I noticed something unique about it. Its eyes were crimson just like mine. "Well little buddy I guess we have more in common than I thought." It tilted its head as if asking what I meant. " Our eyes are the same color. It's quite unique around the world you know. Not everyone thinks it's a good thing, but I don't really care. Just keep your head up and do what you can to survive. That's what we are, survivors and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." I told it realizing it's coat was once pale white, but tail and ears were black. It also had scratches covering its body along with its shrunken stomach. " I have to go home now, but remember what I said. We can get through anything because we're not normal and know how to survive." I said feeling like I was giving myself a pep talk instead of the cat. When I got up to leave however, it jumped into my lap and smothered my face with grateful kisses. Then it jumped down, looked at me and said, "Thanks for the pep talk friend, I'll do my best. I hope you enjoy the reminder of my gratitude in the morning as it's my gift to you, dreamer." It turned away and started walking after that, but before it rounded the corner it said, " Remember your own words. I look forward to seeing you again. By the way you have the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, never stop being you." and just like that it was gone.

My voice? It thought that I had a beautiful voice? No one has ever said that to me or anything as nice as that for that matter. Wait? The cat just talked. Cats don't talk......right? Right!??? Why am I more concerned about what it said instead of the fact that it talked at all?

After a few more minutes of thinking about it I decided that I was just hallucinating because I had hardly gotten any sleep thanks to those persistent nightmares that came back yet again. I was still thinking about it when I realized I was in front of my apartment and walked 10 full minutes in what felt like seconds. Odd, but I was lost in thought so it's possible I didn't realize the time.

I unlocked my door and immediately felt like I was gonna fall asleep standing up if I didn't get to my bed soon. As soon as I landed on my soft comfortable bed, I was out like a light and strangely didn't dream about nightmares, but talking cats and crimson eyes instead. It was a heavy sleep, one that hardly ever happened. I was replenished and content with sleeping there forever. That is until I woke up and discovered the gift I had been given.
