Living With A Mutt

Redone By: Arctic Kitten

Prologue

Misa Amane, a 21 year old model, sat in her mansion looking over herself in a magazine. Beside her was her prized winning impure breed cat. He was large in size, twice a normal domesticated cat, however his markings were of an average cat's. He was a caramel color with darker strands here and there. Light chocolate colored eyes were covered by thick lashes. He slept on, curled up on a pillow that was embroidered with his name: Light Yagami (Raito). Misa glanced over from her magazine and smiled cutely. She loved her impure breed. He was one of a kind and she wouldn't dream of replacing him. She put her chin in the palm of her hand and watched him sleep with the fondness look in her eyes. Years before the impure breeds came about, there were only pure breeds. Everyone had one, and it drove Misa crazy. She didn't want what everyone else had. She wanted something different. Even at 3 years old she refused one of the rarest breeds of cat. She stated that she didn't want to be like 'Everyone else'.

That's how she came to find Raito. She ran away from her home because she believed that everyone was a big meany. Wondering in the park, alone, she nearly got kidnapped. However a large cat came out of nowhere and killed the man before he could even get two steps out of the 

park. At first glance, Misa had fallen deeply in love with the cat. After that she never went anywhere without him. He was barely a year old when they had met, but he was already as big as a normal domesticated house cat. Misa took the cat home and realized that he had a special ore around him. She didn't name him that night, but the name came to her in a dream.

It was a strange dream, the landscape was all white, not just plain white either, it was snowy white. She was just standing there when she spotted a small toddler, when she got close enough, the toddler looked up and Misa's breath was stolen from her. She woke up in a cold sweat, she looked over at the cat and saw him staring at her with an intensity that she had never seen before. His eyes were livid! Then a voice whispered, "Light Yagami" After that she called him Light, or Raito.

Misa stared long and hard at her beloved cat. Something didn't seem right about him these days. Tilting her head she examined the feline. Misa would stare at Raito for the longest time but not see what was bugging the over sized tomcat. It bothered Misa so much. She sighed when Raito shifted uncomfortably on his pillow.

"Misa will have to call Dr. Kona…" whispered Misa mournfully. She hadn't taken Raito to the vets since she had gotten him. This would be very strange to see her vet now. Letting her hair sway into her face, Misa reached for the phone, her long fingernails clicked loudly against the object. Raito blinked awake and stared up at Misa. Misa glanced over and smiled weakly. She dialed and put the phone to her ear. Raito flicked his ears and stared at her. The phone rang…



Once….

Twice….

Three times…

((Misa's Speech on the phone: "MISA!"

((Dr. Kona Speech on the phone: "Dr. Kona!"))

"Hello Dr. Kona's veterinarian hospital, Dr. Kona speaking, how may I help you?"

Misa perked up.

"Dr. Kona! It's Misa!" Misa squealed a little too loudly. Light flattened his ears to his head.

"Ah, Misa how are you?"

"Misa's doing good!" squeaked Misa happily.

Raito twitched, normally Misa would scratch his ear when he awoke or pat her lap for him to lay in it, which he normally refused, but this time she was busy on the phone. It really irritated Light.

"How is Raito?"

Misa frowned.

"Well that is why Misa called. Misa's Raito isn't acting rig-(right)



As Misa was talking, Raito had stretched and crawled, not walked, but crawled, into her lap. Nudging her arm with his nose."-ht….."

Misa gawked at Raito. He was asking for affection! Misa was the one always asking for Raito's affection, not the other way around!

"Hm, how is he 'not acting right'?…"

"Asking affection from Misa…."

There was a long LONG pause on the other line before Dr. Kona spoke up.

"Bring him in, Misa. I'll check him out. See what is going on."





Misa had become even more worried as time went on and it showed on her face. Raito was sprawled out upon her lap, his back against her legs. Reaching out his pawed at her chin, just grazing it.

"Dr. Kona, do you think Raito will be okay? Misa mean's do you think it is serious?"

There was another long pause before Dr. Kona answered.

"I don't know, Misa. With Raito it could be anything."

With that Dr. Kona hung up, leaving Misa still hanging on the phone. She looked down at the large paw and then at the concerned look on Raito's face. He never looked like that! Worried, 

Misa put down the phone, forgetting it was still on, and picked her large, HEAVY cat up. She walked out of her mansion without even telling anyone…

Kitten: Alright, I've only did a few corrections to this chapter…. Prologue. They aren't really noticeable unless you know the older version of the story.
