I know guys. I have fics to finish but this won't leave me alone. AND NUKODUKES ARE FREAKING CUTE! Who could resist them?! HAHA. So I had thought of making out precious Kiseki no Sedai as the cute Nukoduke! You could search the manga in some random manga sitesif you want to know more about them. The OC in here are only the owners (total of three and the others are extras) and there are reasons why the little guys are taken by OCs and such. You have to read more to know though *wink wink* I figured this would match with the fic that had Hanamiya taking care a little cat Izuki but I assure you this would be different though *wink I don't really own Nukoduke and Kuroko no Basuke! If I did, the KnB would be pet owners xD


Flashing his smile accompanied by a polite as a greeting was enough for his co-workers as everyone was busy inside the kitchen. Haruki sighed in relief as he reached the locker room and finally can eat his precious lunch and leave. His eyes trailed to the almost empty cafeteria of the middle school he was currently working at, Teiko as he named it. He was an alumni of the said school, ten years ago as he recalled it.

"Good work Niiya-kun!" an old woman greeted as she sat beside the guy, unpacking her own lunch.

"Good work to you too Kanzaki-san," he greeted back, smiling once again. He joined his palms together and closed his eyes "Itadakimasu,"

Both started on their food without another word exchanged. It was pleasing to work like this, silence and nothing else but food to work on. It was a haven for guys like Haruki who only intend to laze around and likes food more than anything else. If he likes food too much, he ought to know how to handle them right? That's why he took part-time jobs that only involves in cooking, such as working as part-timer in his alumni school's cafeteria staff. He chuckled as he remembered a guy the same as him before.

"I wonder how he is now?" he mumbled between bites, grinning at the thought.

"You said something Niiya-kun?" the old lady, Kanzaki, asked.

The younger shook his head and started packing his lunch box. "Oh yes, you said you have something for me Kanzaki-san?"

"Right right," she nodded and opened her own locker, revealing a strange box (has the size which can fit two dozen of sardine cans) in it. "I heard you are fond of animals so I thought of offering this little one to you,"

She took out the box and gently gave it to the guy. Haruki blinked his black orbs at the lightness of the box. What was inside it? An animal?

"You do know that I can't take animals as my grandson has allergy when it comes to furs" he vaguely remembered the noisy kid that stepped his foot the other day "so I thought that Niiya-kun could take care of it, if you can't you can decline the offer,"

"Kanzaki-san, the principal needs your presence in the office!"

"Coming!" the old woman patted her apron and placed her fixed bento (courtesy of Haruki) into the locker. "Why don't you get to know to each other while I'm gone? You can decide if you want or can keep him okay?"

Haruki nodded weakly, grasping the situation in hand. So it really was an animal inside the box. He wondered what was it, a kitten? A puppy? Maybe a rabbit? And it was a male as the elder woman said. The apartment he was staying at didn't mind letting the renters taking in pets as he remembered the huge Siberian Husky three floors away from his unit. Maybe he could too, his pay doesn't really affect when it comes to pets. Slowly, he placed the box on the table and opened it.

Yellow meets obsidian.

Haruki kept staring at the small hybrid creature before him who was given by the kind co-worker. The creature was also staring at his eyes. Yes, it was true that he does adore animals but… is this guy…. Is he even an animal?

"Hi there!" it greeted. It took Haruki's full will not to jump off his seat. "Are you going to keep me? Nice to meet you! I'm Ryota!"

The 'animal' was waving his small hand at him. Haruki raised a brow. The creature inside the box was a very small (probably around 5 or 4 inches), it was part human and part cat. The creature was bright. A little humanoid with yellow cat ears and white-tipped yellow cat tail complete with wearing a yellow shirt and blue shorts as if he was really a human kid. Its ears were upright, blending with his seemingly soft blond hair. Its tail was wagging, almost like a dog's (is it even a cat?), and was literally sparkling. No the sparkling effect was not emitted by some sorcery, his pearly white fangs were.

"H-Hey I'm Haruki…" he stuttered, still overwhelmed by the talking 'animal'.

"Are you going to keep me Harukicchi?~" the cat-boy asked, eagerness in his eyes. Haruki was glad that he had self-control if he didn't probably he already tackled the small guy into a bone-crushing hug. Though he settled himself with pinching the cat-boy's cheeks. 'Soft as mochi…' he thought. "E-EEH?! W-What are you doing Harukicchi?!"

"What are you? I have never seen a creature like you before…" Haruki scratched his night-hued hair, racking his brain about the creature before him. He repeated, "What are you?"

Ryota blinked and grinned widely "I'm a Nuko!"

"Nuko?"

"Yeah!"

"What's that?"

"I'm a Nuko!" the blond cat announced as if it explained the whole thing. "So are you keeping me? Or gonna throw me out like everyone else did…"

"Everyone?" Haruki blinked and picked the small cat-boy up to his palm "How come?"

Ryota was flustered at the sudden contact, making Haruki wince as claws dig into his palms. He held on though, tying not to scare the little 'animal' more. He only noticed how the orbs had fear inside those bright yellow orbs. It must have been pity or some instinct. He knew the poor guy won't speak another word so he gently smiled and placed him over his head, facing a mirror that was conveniently pasted to the wall behind him.

"How about having dinner with me tonight? How's that sound? I guess I'll have miso and dried fish tonight,"

"D-Does that mean-" his yellow orbs sparkled in delight, hope.

"Yes Ryota, I'm taking you home,"
