Shizuo was wandering around in Ikebukuro, looking for food. He had been through every rubbish bin in the alleyways and had found himself snooping around in the rich area of the large city. He jumped up onto a wooden fence and sighed. His tail wagging back and forth as he looked around to find some food. Some light from a window caught his attention and he spotted a black figure sitting on the window sill. The golden-furred cat stared at the beautiful black cat, sitting there and licking the paws. Shizuo walked further towards the window to get a better look at the other cat.
Shizuo sat down and watched with wide eyes the unknown cat and silently mewled. "Meow~." His whiskers twitched.
Izaya sat upright, his ears moving in order to figure out where that mewl came from. There were no other cats in his household so it could only be from the outside or maybe it was an intruder? Oh well, there were no more sounds to be heard, so he simply went back to washing his paws with his rough tongue. The black cat was raised by a rich human family and lived life gracefully with all the playthings he could ever wish for and enough food to make him full. They did make sure he didn't get too much so he wouldn't get fat but that was not a problem since Izaya hardly ate all of the food in his bowl. He wasn't the type to eat until his gut exploded. He always ate moderately but still made sure he was full. Izaya was a very delicate and beautiful cat and lived a grand life.
Shizuo was on the edge of the wooden fence and glared at the glamorous figure. He lashed his paw out towards the window, trying to keep his balance on the fence. "Meow~." He mewled again. Shizuo watched the black cat stop and look around, only to continue licking the paw. The golden cat spotted the red ribbon around the other's neck. Must be a female cat then.
"Izaya?" Izaya heard the youngest of the family called and ran off somewhere into the house.
Shizuo watched the other cat run away and fell down from the fence, landing on his paws in the soft grass. He decided to stick around to maybe see that cat again and sneaked over towards the entrance to the huge house. There he saw some garbage bins and he could smell some fish, coming from the dirty bins. He looked up at the metal bins and wondered how he was going to open it to get something to eat.
"Awww! It's a cat!" A girl exclaimed excitedly as she came out of the house. She was seven years old. She carefully stepped closer and sat down on her knees a few feet away from the cat. She held out her hand to the cat. "Come here, I won't hurt you."
Shizuo quickly cringed away and stared at the girl. "Meow." He let out.
"Oh, no, no, no, it's okay. I won't hurt you. Wait a second!" the girl ran back inside. "There is another cat outside Izaya!" the girl said inside the house. She then came back out and sat down the same way as before. She had her fist filled with cat food and put some in her other palm, holding it down near the pavement. "See? It's food. I won't hurt you."
Shizuo sniffed in the essence of cat food and moved a bit closer to the girl, his tail in between his back legs. He lowered his head, keeping eye contact with the girl as he approached her hand.
Izaya appeared in the door, only seeing the girl. He walked to her and rubbed his side against the girl's leg but when he then stood beside her, he saw the other cat. A big golden cat.
Shizuo stopped and stared at the black cat he had seen before.
"Meow." Izaya smiled at the other cat.
"Look, Izaya. Isn't he cute?"
The golden cat tilted his head. "Meow." He mewled and twitched his whiskers.
"I think he likes you." The girl giggled.
"Mai, what are you doing, honey?" an older lady asked as she came to the door.
"Look, mom! It's a cat! Isn't he cute?"
"Oh," her mother starter as she noticed the other cat. She sat down beside her daughter. "He is, dear."
"Can't we keep him?" she asked, her little voice filled with hope.
"I'm sorry, honey. We already have a cat."
"But… It's so cute…"
"I agree that he is an adorable cat. But we won't know if he will get along with Izaya."
"They will! I'm sure of it! Look, Izaya is already here and they look like they like each other!" the girl said excited.
"It is still a stray car, darling. We won't know if he will attack or scratch us. Maybe he doesn't like humans."
"I'm sure he will, mom." She tried.
"Well…" the mother started, taking a break to think it through. "If your dad approves of it then it's alright with me." She smiled at her daughter.
"Yay! I'll go ask dad!" the girl exclaimed and ran into the house, leaving the cat food on the ground. Izaya leaned down and sniffed the food.
Shizuo approached the black cat and looked down at the food. He gulped but took one piece of the food and ran back to keep a good distance. He slowly started eating the food, but continued to keep an eye on the black cat.
'Hello.' Izaya greeted as he sat up, with his tail wrapped around him feet while he looked at the foreign cat.
'H-hello.' Shizuo swallowed and looked at the black cat. He wagged his tail back and forth, sitting down on the cold ground.
'Won't you eat the food she got you?' he asked casually, yet carefully. He didn't know the cat and he seemed quite big and strongly built and he could never know what the other might do.
Shizuo slowly approached the black cat, named Izaya, and lowered his head to eat some more of the food. It was quickly gone since Shizuo was so hungry. He licked himself around the mouth the moment he swallowed the last bit of food.
'Hungry?' Izaya chuckled. The lady smiled as the cat had eaten the food.
Shizuo slowly nodded and looked back up at Izaya.
'Well, it seems like they are gonna keep you. Then they'll feed you.'
'I've been looking for food the last couple of days.'
Shizuo admitted and looked away. 'But wait. Am I going to live in the same house as you then?'
'Yes, it seems so.'
'Alright.' Shizuo sent a weak smile towards Izaya. Shizuo was a bit glad that he got to stay in the same household as the beautiful other black cat.
"Mom! Daddy said yes!" the girl exclaimed happily as she came back outside.
"Alright, sweet heart. I'll take him then. Or, is it a him?" She questioned. She carefully grabbed the cat's sides and lifted him lightly to turn him around; she lifted his tail and quickly let go of it as the cat hissed at her. "Oh.. Well, it is a male. But he doesn't seem to like humans."
'What are you doing? Don't hiss at her.' Izaya told the other cat.
Shizuo cringed and lowered his ears. 'Sorry, humans have always treated me badly.' he explained.
'Oh. I'm sorry. These won't do bad things to you. Let her pick you up.'
Shizuo relaxed and looked up at the woman. "Meow~." He tried to apologize, but of course the humans wouldn't be able to understand him.
"Let's try again. Don't be afraid." She tried as she again grabbed the cat's sides. This time the cat didn't do anything and she picked him up, holding him away from her body. "Let's give you a nice bath."
