Prologue


Good day, my precious Tokyo Police Headquarters,

I invited you to have a dinner with our Knight of the Round Table.

I've also told my fellows to come and see me after we met

this knight in shining armor.

We've made a promise to meet at the Dogson's Wonderland

when the colorful flowers are blooming in the dark.

It's the time to let the party begin.

Regards,

Your long awaited Hero.

Tokyo, Japan, 12/31/08, 11.55 PM

It was just five minutes before the world enter a new year, but the dark sky of midnight had already full of fireworks. The full moon shone brightly as if it also wanted to welcome the new age of earth too. The inhabitants of Tokyo were now start to cheering and counting down to New Year, or just praying at the shrine to wish luck for next year.

However, a lot of people who's at Tokyo that night weren't just cheering because the new year had almost begun. Especially around the Alice Academy's clock tower.

All because of a man in black, who was wearing a black cat's mask and now flying above the clock tower, with a hang-glider and brought two big-sized white bundles. Many spotlights from police helicopters' were beamed at him. Yeah. Both Ruka and Goshima's deductions were right. After stole a billion yen from Sakura Central Hospital's dean, the thief was now flying to the 'Dogson's Wonderland'.

"Emergency! Patrol 303 calling headquarter," a blonde police, Nogi Ruka, trying to called the Police Headquarter through a wireless, while his partner, Goshima Hijiri was driving their patrol car.

He received the answer less than a second. "Emergency! Patrol 303 over,"

"We saw the target was now already stood on the top of Alice Academy's clock tower! I repeat, the target was now stood on the top of Alice Academy's clock tower!" he replied while eying the target with a binocular. "Roger. We've sent some units to handle him. You just have to trying to calm down the civilians now, over." The young policeman placed the wireless when he ended his reports.

As soon as his patrol car was parked by his partner, the two were getting out from the car and helped their co-workers to calming down all of Tokyo's poor civilians around the clock tower. Damn you the televisions, articles, radios, everything and everyone who were separated the rumors about this action from 'our long awaited hero'.

Meanwhile, at the top of the tallest and biggest clock in Tokyo, the troublemaker was smirking behind his proud mask. His hang-glider has changed back to its original form, its owner black robe. The lad looked at his watch. He still keep the smirk on his handsome face. When the watch's long needle's position is around eleven, he started to count down.

He opened his mouth.

"Five,"

A rope was been fallen from a helicopter near the clock tower.

"Four,"

Another rope was been fallen from another helicopter.

"Three,"

The man untied the bundles.

"Two,"

Some polices climbed down from the helicopters.

"One,"

The man thrown the big-sized bundles.

"Zero,"

A lot of thousand yen coming out from both bundles.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR, TOKYO!"

The civilians around the tower were now catching the moneys, and keep them so it couldn't be steal by another people. Even some of them were use an upside-down-umbrella to collect the money. Since there weren't any breeze that time, the moneys didn't blasted by the winds. The poorer of Tokyo—not even just the poorer—applauded the man who just saving their life from poorness, while the polices sigh in frustration because they failed to stop the man. The victim of this robbing case was probably fainted for lost a billion yen.

"Who the heck is him?!" Ruka gritted his teeth in disappointment after he saw the masked man dropped his body from the top of the clock tower, and then flung away with his already-transformed hang-glider in order to save himself from the polices. He was jaw dropped at that moment.

Goshima inquires Ruka in a kind of disbelief tone. "You didn't know?"

"Well, of course I know it. I notice him by the costume he wore. What I meant is, who the hell is the real him."

"Well, it's true that you're a new guy in our division, but hey, he is famous for several years, you know. You have to ashamed at yourself if you don't know who he is. This is my first time to see the real him, but I've read about him and he's quite great according to my sources." His dark haired partner uttered lazily.

Ruka nodded, and then gazed up to the dark sky. "He is the most wanted and the world famous international thief, who never failed in his actions and was a savior for the poorer but a misfortune for the riches, and sometimes helped the polices to catch the corruptors. The first time he appeared was 15 years ago. I think that was the first action he made after missing for 5 years. He has so many names since he was famous in the world. In here, at Japan, people often called him Kuro Neko. But his official name was," Ruka gulped then continued his line, "the Black Cat."

PROLOGUE END

Author's Note: Hi people! This is my second fic. I decided to leave my first fic on hiatus, since I felt there's nobody read it (sobs). Anyway, I've been planing about this fic since many months ago, and I relieved it could became true. The story goes on about the Black Cat, Natsume of course.

But this story isn't just an ordinary thief story. I'll put Natsume and the others in some case about murderers, suicides and the others with him as the detective, and Mikan as his assistant. Mikan will also learn about her parents unknown past, Hotaru's and Natsume's too. Curious? Just review and I'll post the next chapter.

With love,

Takaya-san

P.S. I got the 'Knight of the Round Table' hint from Meitantei Conan. I guess you've got the idea what the meant about the hint if you also read the manga or watch the anime.

Next on Black Cat, Chapter 01: Shocking News

"You're gonna reach your twenty tomorrow, and I have arranged a marriage for you,"

Some shocking news is just the beginning of everything.

"You're forcing me to marry the man that I loved as a brother, no more and no less?"

But everybody was really hard to take the unbelievable ones.

"Who the hell is him? Our long awaited hero? Superman?"

And when another shocking announcement appeared,

"Well, it's because he was a thief and his victims always the corruptor ones."

it's the time to start the party.
