Chapter 1: The Promise Ring

It was seven o'clock in the morning and sleeping comfortably was none other than Detective Yatogami. However, that wonderful peaceful quiet moment was suddenly interrupted when the detective woke up to his landlord's dogs barking. Yato groaned then he quickly rushed towards the window, opening the blinds then slide the window open.

"Oi! Shut up or I'm gonna throw my shoe at you wolves if you don't pipe down!" Yato yelled then one of the dogs whimpered but continued barking. Yato groaned then slammed the window shut. Stretching, Yato saw his partner/pet Juli walking around on the floor.

"Good morning, Juli." Yato said as he picked up the gray squirrel and rubbed his cheek against his.

"Did you turn off the light in Yukine's room?" Yato asked then Juli answered him with a squeak. Once Yato was all dressed he put Juli down and then smiled.
"Be sure to wake up Yukine, okay?" He said then he left the apartment and hurried down. After walking for about 20 minutes, Yato stopped in front of a building complex. After taking the elevator to the 5th floor, Yato walked down the hallway till he reached room 526. When the detective was about to open the door he heard a scream from inside.

"Kuro?! Are you okay?! What happened?!" Yato asked as he opened the door and came in. There, on the floor on their knees, was a young woman with curly blond hair.
"I lost it..." She whispered then Yato helped her up.
"What did you loose?" Yato asked as he guided her to sit in a chair.

"My promise ring that my boyfriend gave me! I lost it!" Kuro cried then Yato has a blank stare. He began to retrace the days when Kuro hired him then he gasped.
"Oh! Oh, I thought you were already married..." Yato said then Kuro grabbed his head and locked it in a head lock.
"I AM ONE YEAR YOUNGER THAN YOU! DO YOU THINK I WOULD WANT TO GET MARRIED AT THE AGE OF 22?!

"Ya never know! Some people in their early 20's would love to get married!" Yato said as he struggled to break free.

Once Kuro released Yato, the detective cleared his throat then pulled out his notepad and pen.
"Okay... So when and where was the last time you wore your promise ring?"

"Let's see... I only wear my ring when I go to work or special events..."

"So work or when going out at night... Now, is there anyone who envies you since you wear such a ring given to your boyfriend or would do anything to get their hands on a ring like yours?"

"No... Usually when people notice the ring on my finger they congratulate me..."

"Okay... And lastly, what does the ring look like and you do have any photos of it?"

"It's a 18K white gold with diamond encrusted and a tanzanite gem."

Damn... 18K? Her lover either found the ring or he just loves to spoil my boss... Yato thought as he looked at his cellphone and received an image of Kuro wearing the ring.

"Please find it... I don't think my boyfriend can forgive me if I lost something so special..."

"Don't you worry your pretty head Kuro. You've taught me well, so now it's my time to show you just how great of a detective I am!" Yato said as he ran out the room.

"...I wonder if my brother..." Kuro muttered to herself.

When Yato got out of the elevator and walked into the lobby, he saw his apprentice talking to his friend, the florist, Suzuha.

"Oh, detective Yato. Good morning."

"Morning, Suzuha. Yukine, come on. We got a case to solve."

"Eh? Already? W-well who are the clients?"

"We're taking the case Kuro gave us. She lost her ring that her boyfriend gave her."

"What?! Miss Kuro lost her promise ring?" Yukine said surprised then Yato suddenly came to a stop making the blond apprentice hit his master's back.
"How the hell do you know about her ring?! I've known Kuro for four years and I didn't see any ring on her finger!"

"Well, Yato if you listen, you'll know that Miss Kuro and her boyfriend have been dating for a year now, and when they met for the first time he gave that ring to Miss Kuro promising her that he'll come to Hawaii and visit her." Yukine explained but Yato was already walking away.

"Hey! You're not listening!"

"No time, Yukine! We gotta find that ring!" Yato shouted as he started running. Yukine sighed then looked at Juli, who was sitting on his shoulder.
"Juli how do you deal with a guy like Yato?" Yukine asked the squirrel then Juli squeaked.

Back at the apartments, Yato, Yukine and Juli were in Kuro's apartment and they all searched everywhere to find the ring.

"It's not here..." Yukine said then he picked up Juli and the gray squirrel shook his fur because he was covered in dust. Yukine sneezed then Juli squeaked apologetically.

"Crap... Okay... So it's not here... Looks like we gotta check around town."

"Hopefully people will recognized the ring." Yukine said as he looked over Yato's shoulder and sees his master looking at the photo of Kuro's ring.

In town, Yato was going around asking people he recognized if they saw Kuro's ring. No matter how many people he'd ask they would all say no and told Yato that they'll keep an eye out and contact him if they found it.

"Dammit... So far we've got nothing..." Yato said. Yukine listens to Yato whining while he was feeding Juli.
"Maybe we should call Miss Kuro and tell her we got nothing..."

"Are you crazy?! If we come back empty handed, her poor little fragile heart's gonna shatter into pieces!"

"But Yato, think about it; something like a tanzanite ring, people aren't gonna just turn a ring in. We should probably go to the police..."

"Yukine... You've been my apprentice for five months... I've been with Kuro for four years and she taught me well about being a great detective. And the first most important rule about being a detective is never giving up. I wanna show her that all her hard work teaching me will be paid off!" Yato said then Yukine felt touched until he heard Juli hissing.
"Juli? What's the matter boy?" Yukine said then he looked in the direction the squirrel was looking and saw a cat.

"It's just a cat, Juli. It's not gonna hurt you..." Yukine tried to comfort the squirrel but Juli squeaked and jumped inside the blond boy's hood.

"Hey, Yukine... Look at the cat's mouth..."

"Yeah... There's something shiny in its mouth..." Yukine said as both boys squinted their eyes and a ring was in the cat's mouth.

"THE RING!" Yato shouted, startling the cat but Yukine silenced Yato by covering his mouth.
"You idiot! You're gonna scare the cat!" Yukine hissed softly then Yato calmed down and his apprentice took his hand off his master's mouth. Yato slowly walked towards the cat.
"Nice kitty... Nice kitty... Good kitty. Be a good kitty and give me the ring in your mouth..." Yato calmly said and as he was getting closer to the cat, the cat immediately started running.

"Don't you dare run away! I'll sell you to a Chinese restaurant!" Yato yelled chasing after the cat.

"That's animal cruelty, Yato!" Yukine yelled as he followed Yato.

After chasing after the cat, it climbed over a wall and into an alley. Yato stood in front of the wall, thinking until he heard Yukine trying to catch his breath when he finally caught up to Yato.

"Did you... Catch... The cat...?"

"No. The cat decided to throw me off by climbing over this wall..." Yato explained then when Yukine finally relaxed his breathing, he looked at the wall.
"So... What are we gonna do...?"

"I'm going after the cat. You two stay behind and I'll contact you when I got that little thief."

"Don't you hurt it!" Yukine said glaring at Yato then Yato grabbed the edge of the wall and pulled himself up. Once he got to the very top, Yato used his memory to retrace the path the cat walked before he lost sight of it. Once he got into the small alley, Yato looked around and sighed.
"No sign of that little stinker..." He muttered to himself then Yato heard a cat yowling. He ran towards the noise and he found that same cat.

"There you are! You little thief!" Yato yelled then the cat started running.
"Oh no you don't!" The detective yelled chasing after the cat once again. After 15 minutes, Yato finally got the cat cornered at a dead end.

"Give... Me... The ring!" Yato said and he could hear the cat making noises. It was about to run past Yato but the detective grabbed it's scruff and glared at it.
"Gimme the ring, and I promise you I won't sell ya to a Chinese restaurant." He said then he took the ring out of the cat's mouth.

"I can see why Kuro finds this ring so valuable." Yato said as he wore the ring on his right index finger. Suddenly, the cat struggled returning the detective back to reality.
"Whoops, forgot about you... Since you kindly cooperated I'll let ya go." He said as he placed the cat back down. The cat hissed at the detective then ran away, but for some odd reason it didn't run to far; it just ran a few feet then made a left turn. Yato couldn't help but feel curious so he followed the cat. When he made the left turn, Yato saw the cat inside a small box but it was surrounded by some pretty stuff.

"What in the world...?" Yato softly said then he came closer. He heard the cat hissing at him and when he looked inside the box he saw five baby kittens.

"Oh... I see what you're trying to do... You wanted little ones to open their eyes and see that they're living in a beautiful place. Instead, you ended up having to take care of them in a dangerous place... Well, have no fear!" Yato said then he picked up the box that the cat and her kittens were in.
"Detective Yato is here!" He finished and started walking while carrying the kittens and the mother cat. The cat hissed and tried to scratch Yato but tilted his head back and stuck his tongue out.
"Face it mother cat, I'm taking you in whether you like it or not. Besides, you should be thanking me. If I left you where you and your babies were you'd be eaten by stray dogs." He said then Yato took out his phone and called Yukine.

"Yukine? Meet me back at work. Yeah, I got the ring." Yato said then he closed his phone.

An hour later, Yato finally arrived at the building complex. When he got to room 526 he opened the door and smiled.

"Hello? Did someone loose a ring?" He asked as he closed the door. When he turned around he saw his apprentice walking towards him.
"What's in the box, Yato?"

"The culprit who stole the ring!" Yato answered as he placed the box down and grabbed the mother cat.

"You brought that cat with you?!" Yukine yelled then he heard the kittens mewling and his raging anger suddenly melted away when he saw the baby kittens.
"BABY KITTENS~!" He squealed his eyes sparkling.

"I believe this ring belongs to you, Kuro." Yato said as he removed the ring from his index finger and was about to give it to Kuro when he noticed a ring on her finger.

"Eh?"

"Yeah... I've been trying to call you... But my brother found my ring. Sorry you had to go through all that trouble Yato..." Kuro said as she took the ring.
"I'll take this to the police station though. Sorry, again Yato..." Kuro said as she left the room. When she walked down the hall, she heard Yato letting out a loud whiny scream.
Poor Yato... She thought then she went in the elevator and went down.

The next morning, Yato and Yukine had the day off since Kuro figured they both deserved it. Yato was reading the newspaper when he noticed something.
"Huh... 'Famous singer, Lady Seiya, lost her family heirloom; a ring.'"

"Hey, doesn't that ring look like the ring you found from that cat?" Juli asked, while he was eating a strawberry.

"You're right, Juli. But I guess both Kuro's ring and Lady Seiya's ring look similar..."

"The shape of the gem on the ring does look the same... But if you look closely at how the ring is designed, they're completely different. Kuro's ring has a total of six diamonds; three for each side of the gem. And Lady Seiya's ring has a total of ten diamonds; five for each side of the gem." Juli said as he and Yato looked at the ring in the newspaper and the ring on Yato's phone.

"Hey, Yato? Did you get Miss Kuro's text?"

"No. Why? What did she texted you?" Yato asked then Yukine pulled his phone out and showed the detective the text.

"'Yato! Yukine! The ring that you found from that cat turned out to be Lady Seiya's family heirloom! The police contacted her and returned the ring to her. She came by thanking me but I told her that it was both of you who found the ring. Because she had to leave today, she decided to make a video saying her thanks.'" Yato read then another message appeared and there was a "play video" option. He pressed the button and the video began to play.

"Is it recording?" A lady asked looking straight ahead.

"Yes." Yato and Yukine heard Kuro answered the lady.

"Okay, umm, detective Yato... I just want to say thank you so much for finding my ring. Oh, and you too Yukine. Kuro has been telling me that you two worked really hard trying to get her ring back... But I'm really grateful that the ring you found happened to be mine. Thank you again, Yato and Yukine. Lots of love from Lady Seiya." The lady in the video said then it ended.

"Oh? Looks like you did solve a case Yato. You found a famous singer's family heirloom." Juli said then Yato smiled chuckling softly.
"Wow... I guess all that hard work really paid off." He said as he pet Juli.
