I DO NOT OWN SQUAT!

Hopefully that I will be able to update every two weeks or less because of school. *crosses fingers*

Prologue

"Come here little Torah, you don't want to be in the street like that, you will get hit." Said Shinzo Ni (for the heart) or Hato (heart) as she likes to be called.

'Dam it. I wish you would get out of the street so people will not think I am trying to kill you.'

Trying to keep up a passive face, so as not scare the orange tabby, blue jeans stretched tight as Hato slowly slid forward in a crouch. Trying to get in arms reach of the dam cat all day and keep her use-to-be-white-now-gray-shirt intact. Bringing the cat to the neighbor to get the "bounty" is tiring. It is not actually called a "bounty"; I just like the sound of it. The bounty is the money I would get for the cat. I could get a case of Raman noodles and the latest chapter of my favorite manga! Of course that means

I would actually have to catch the stupid tabby.

'Come oooonn...'

"Come here Torah, I got a little treat for you." I Cooed. 'Not really but come here anyway.'

The orange tabby looked at me, and got 'that' gleam in his eye, and then turned around and ran further into the road, pink bow bouncing, trying to get away from me on its way to the park.

"Damn cat get back here!" I glared at the streak of orange crossing the road, and then ran after it.

Dodging through street vendors, jumping cars, and trampling a half dozen people, black hoodie flaring trying to keep an eye on Torah; he ran up the a tall tree, looked down at me with 'that' gleam in his eye. I got into the park just after the damnable cat ran up the tree ,slightly out of breath , I tucked a strand of short brown hair behind my ear while glaring up the tree. He mocked me by looking the other way.

"Oh hardy har har. Get down here. Now!" I yelled.

"Meeooww"

Cue Tic mark.

A ruffed up cat and few broken branches later, I headed off to the neighbor and get the "bounty" for the stupid fat cat. Fifteen minutes later of power walking led me to my ally way across the street from the fat lady's house. Holding the battered cat close in my slightly tanned arms, I looked both ways before starting out across a street. Halfway across the street something cold touched my arm but it was not hostile it was like saying 'turn around'. I turned around to look down the alley way I had just come and saw Derek, the sleazy, stick of a man with greasy hair that has been stalking me for over a year. He wanted to kill me because I owed him a lot of money. I turned slightly and tried to run towards the fat lady's house. I needed somewhere to hide. I could not move past taking one step backwards towards the house. I was too stunned by Derek's eyes to move any further. His eyes were silted like snakes.

"What's the matter cat got your tongue Shinzo?" said Derek jokingly in a sickly sweet voice. "So happy to see me again are we?"

"Y-your e-eyes?!" I said in a strangled voice trying to not let him see how scared I was.

"Yes. A lovely gift isn't?" he sneered as he reached up and he rubbed his eye. "Because of you I had to get my eyes replaced, but during the operation, my "friends" got bottles mixed up and gave me these". "Time is wasting and you are in the middle of a dangerous street and I am not. I gave you two options in the beginning, serve me or die, but you chose to run but now you die~." laughing hysterically he pointed down the street.

'What?'

HONK! HONK!

My head snapped to the side to see a red truck coming at me. 15 feet. 10 feet.

'It was too fast!'

I finally turned around and with a furious growl, chucked the cat as hard as I could towards the fat lady's house.

'And to think I was trying to get you to come to me an hour ago.'

Then there was a flash of blue and pain.
