The story is in commemoration of the first Kurosagi Movie coming out on March 8th, 2008, the trailer of which I just saw yesterday night. The plot bunny came to me when I was chatting with my fellow YamaP/Kurosagi fan, and she mentioned how all the movie needed was Sano from Hana Kimi (Japanese version) to make it complete. For all those who aren't aware, the actress who plays Yoshikawa Tsurara is Horikita Maki, who also happens to be the lead actress in Hana Kimi, along side Oguri Shun, who plays Sano Izumi. Anyways, that got me thinking on how both of her lead interests could possibly star in the same storyline, and so now here we have my fanfiction! Hope you enjoy it!

This fanfiction is dedicated to Michelle Vu, who gave me the idea for the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kurosagi, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e nor these characters. The ones who are responsible for these lovely creations would be Natsuhara Takeshi and Nakajo Hisaya, respectively.

Chapter 1:

It had started out like any other ordinary day; Tsurara was awaken by the sound of scratching at her door. To some this may have seemed odd, but not to her, not when her neighbor owned a cat.

She thought of her neighbor as she hopped out of bed, grabbed a bowl and a can of cat food. He was a bit of an odd one himself. Very secretive, but she supposed it made sense seeing as he went around stealing from people. Not that he was a criminal per se, if anything he was a good criminal, in all meanings of the word.

She smiled to herself as she recalled all the times she had caught him in one disguise or another. Yes, no one would doubt he wasn't both extremely adequate at his job, and extremely good-looking.

As she finished opening the canned food and emptying it into the bowl, she set it down on the table, and slowly opened to door to see his cute little kitty meowing and pawing at her door. With trepidation she slowly looked to her left, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw his door was still closed. Perhaps he was already gone on another assignment?

Quickly, before he appeared and stopped her, she turned around, grabbed the bowl of food and placed it on the ground in front of the cat. It couldn't have taken more than a second or two to do all that, yet as she straightened up she saw him. Mister Sourpuss-don't-feed-my-cat himself.

Her eyes widened at the sight of him, and she quickly flinched shutting her eyes tightly as she awaited his many lectures on the unnecessary feedings of his little cat. After a second or two of silence she slowly peeked open one eye, hoping against hope that he had for once granted mercy and had left without scolding her. No such luck, he was still there.

Sighing in defeat she straightened her back and looked him in the face, only to have her eyes widen in surprise again. Oh…my…gosh! Was his lip twitching?! Yes! He…he was smiling; at her. To most it wouldn't have been much, if they had been able to see it at all, but she had lived here for several years now and had memorized every action he made. She could tell when he was annoyed from the slight wrinkling of his forehead or how when his eyes crinkled slightly and a small indent appeared on his cheek his laughter was real. This she learned from personal experience, usually at her expense.

This time though, she had not done anything that would warrant a smile from him, granted it wasn't really a smile, but more than his usual stoic face usually held. Her face wrinkled in concentration as she tried to recall anything in the last 5 minutes that could have made him happy enough to set his mouth a twitching. Perhaps it had nothing to do with her? Maybe he had a good assignment coming up?

Or what if it was her? What if her hair was standing on end or she had drool on her face?! She smoothed her hair down, looked over her clothes and smoothed those down as well, wiped her face. Nothing. Nada. Everything seemed to be in order.

During this frantic moment of collecting herself, she has totally forgotten about him standing there watching her. And watched her he did. She blushed red when she finally was in her right mind again and slowly looked at him. Gone was the twitch, perhaps he realized his mask was slipping? Although she knew he was laughing at her; she could see the shine in his eyes that usually meant she had done something to amuse him. She huffed and went to close the door when he spoke. "Yoshida." She corrected him once again "It's Yoshikawa."

He gave her a look and continued "You're rent is late," and started to walk away. As he neared the stairs he stopped. "Oh and Yoshida, stop feeding my cat."

As he left her there standing alone in her doorway she couldn't help smiling and shaking her head gently before going back inside and shutting the door.

Maidoari.

A/N: Hope you liked my first attempt at fanfiction. I tried my best to keep them in character, but I don't know… I will try my best to make this a good one, since we are in great need of Kurosagi fanfictions. Definitely more Yamaki is needed, not to say that they will end up together muahaha.
