Prince of Cats

Chapter I

"I'm going to kill him," declared a twelve year old as he marched up the stairs to his new home. "Mew," meowed the cat next to him. The boy looked down at the cat and smiled. "You know what I mean, right, Karupin?" the boy said. "Mew," Karupin meowed as he rubbed against his owner's leg.

The boy laughed, "I'm glad you could come along, Karupin," he said with a smile as he opened the front door. The cat purred and ran into the house. It was a temple, not surprising when his boss' wicked mind came into play, but really big for only a twelve year old and his cat.

"Where to start," the boy sighed as he looked around. The twelve year old looked down at the card in his hand and read over what was written on it.

• Name: Echizen Ryoma
• Age: twelve years old
• Birthday: December 24
• Blood type: O
• School: Seishun Academy (1 year)

The boy, now identified as Ryoma, growled in annoyance. "Damn it, boss, you just had to send me to a school, well known for their tennis program," he muttered darkly. Already planing his boss's demise. Just then, his cellphone rang. Quick as a bullet, Ryoma whipped it out and pressed talk.

"Dark as night, the cat runs thought the day," Ryoma said automatically. "Bright as day, the snake slithers thought the night," the person on the other line replied. Ryoma sighed, "What do you want? I just arrived in Japan and suffering from jet lag," he said annoyed.

"Sorry, Neko-chan, but the boss wanted to know how you were," the person on the other line said. "Hebi, tell the boss, that other then the jet lag and the fact that he sent me to the last school I wanted to go to, I'm doing just fine," Ryoma replied. Hebi laughed nervously, "I take it, you're already plotting your revenge," she said.

Ryoma grinned evilly, "You know me so well, Hebi," he said. "I would hate to be in the boss' shoes when you get your hands on him," Hebi muttered. "Indeed, but I know you had a hand in this arrangement as well," the twelve year old mused out loud.

Hebi gulped, "Well...umm...you see...it was all the boss' doing," she stuttered. "I highly doubt that, Hebi," Ryoma deadpanned. "Umm...well...look at the time! I gotta go, see ya!" Hebi cried as she hung up the phone.

Ryoma smirked, "Mada mada dane," he said as he put his phone away and started to unpack.

Night soon came faster then Ryoma had anticipated. The twelve year old looked up as the clock struck ten. "Hmm...better get to bed. Karupin, let's get going," Ryoma called as he walked towards his soon to be bedroom. Karupin nodded and ran after his master.

🎾The Next Morning🎾

"Meow," Karupin mewed as he pawed at his master. "Hmm...just a few more minutes," Ryoma muttered sleepily. The himalayan cat narrowed its eyes and pounced on his master. "Okay, okay I'm up," groaned Ryoma as the twelve year old got up from bed.

A few minutes later, Ryoma was out of the house and on his way to school. He was a few blocks away from his new school, when he sensed something heading in his direction.

"Keep a low profile," Ryoma thought as the object hit him in the back of the head. "Ow," Ryoma groaned as he landed on the sidewalk. "Crap, hey you okay?" asked a male's voice. Ryoma looked up and glared at the male. "Aside from the concussion, just peachy," he growled.

"Sorry, about that kid," the boy said with a bow of his head. Ryoma glared at the boy as he stood up. The boy laughed nervously at the look he was getting. "I see you're from Seigaku," the boy observed as he saw Ryoma's uniform.

"Yeah, I just transferred from the States," the twelve year old replied. "Well, I'm Momoshiro Takeshi, but just call me Momo. Nice to meet ya," the boy said as he held out his hand. Ryoma smirked, "Echizen Ryoma. Nice to met you, Momo-senpai," he said as he shook Momo's hand. "Echizen...where have I heard that name before?" Momo mused out load.
