A Train and a Neko
Chapter 1: How Can Did a Black Cat Bring Luck?
***Author's Note...
Can anyone tell me where that cat up above is from?
I ran trying to beat out this stupid rain. It just came out of nowhere! I thought then I laughed from my choice of words. Ha ha, I just said came... ok now I see why Rinslet calls me immature... and a retard. Even if it is an offensive term! My smile grew even more as I thought about the people I had finally let into my old calloused heart. I had just arrived from Tearju's house to visit Eve.
God, that little girl sure did grow up... I thought to myself. She's already sixteen, which makes me old... I'm already 29! Eve's already going to her first party this Saturday, and that's only two days away. The reason I had been to their house in first place was to get her measurements. Yeah, I sew, got a problem? Didn't think so.
Anyway, I had everything I needed; I just needed to make her dress. And if they had asked me sooner I would've had all the fabric too, I thought bitterly. The party had a princess theme, and I had to make her dress for her, to avoid the chance of someone having the same costume. As she had put it: "Uncle Sven, I would have a total basic chick moment and that's so uncool! Especially since I would already be the noob at the party. It would be terrible, borderline social suicide, to have a basic chick moment when you're a noob."
I honestly didn't understand half of what she had to told me but either way, I had now two days to design and make a dress. Then I had to fit it (meaning she tries it on and adjustments are made just in case) tomorrow. Meaning I'm making the majority of the (if not, finishing an entire) dress tonight. God, I think I love that kid too much. If I had said no I wouldn't be running from this rain. Which, coincidentally, I had not outrun on my way home.
Finally I made it to my house in more or less one piece. The ledge of the house went over the porch and I immediately ran for cover as I tried to save the cloth in the Jo-Ann bag. I ruffled my hair around and watched as little crystal droplets fell to the wooden planks beneath me. I had grown out my dark green hair so the bangs could cover over my eyes.
I got tired of wearing my stupid eye patch, ok, correction; I hated little kids asking me if I was a pirate because of my eye patch. I wasn't some hippie who needed a haircut or anything, it was just a little shaggier and, like I said, it covered my eyes a bit. This along with the help of contacts, my eyes looked completely normal-almost (it was hard to find the exact color of my right eye).
I had finally got my key out and unlocked the door, but as soon as I got my first foot in the door, my wet foot made me slip. So I fell on the cold marble and dropped the bags' contents all over the floor. At least they made it inside, I thought miserably. Using my fingers as a live comb, I made my hair comply with me and moved them all out of my face so they lay slicked against my head.
I got so distracted with putting everything back into the bag, I didn't even see the little black cat that sauntered over towards me. I reached behind me to retrieve the pin cushion but my hand came in contact with the cat instead. My hand had landed right behind its head, in between his ears.
The cute little kitten held the green pin cushion in its mouth. I kept my hand where it was and brought my other under its chin and rubbed it softly. I felt it purr and watched as he slowly closed his eyes. When I put my hand directly in front of his mouth he let go of the pin cushion and it lightly fell onto my palm.
"Good kitty." I smiled looking at his neck. My face fell when I saw a collar on him. "Damn, someone owns you already-OUCH!" I exclaimed suddenly when I felt little demon daggers pierce the skin on my pointer finger. The black cat looked up at me with a look that seemed to say 'no one owns me'. "Looks like I got a spunky little kitten, huh? You're lucky I don't mind that."
My smile seemed to broaden when he tentatively licked at my red, irritated finger. So cute... his sandy tongue felt good against the fresh wound. I used my other hand (the one he wasn't licking) to look at his collar. I turned the red collar on his neck around to find a small, round golden pendant that said XIII. That was it, no phone number, no address, and no name either. Weird. Well... I guess until I hear something, I could always keep him. No need for a cute little kitty to drown in the rain.
To emphasise my point, just at that moment lightning flashed and soon after, thunder boomed louder than a siren. The cat jumped right into my lap. I held him in my arms and started to pet him lightly on the back.
"Come on kitty, let's get inside." I carried him in my arms as I entered into the warmth inside my house. Kicking the Jo-Ann fabric bags out of the way I was able to close and lock the door back with only one hand. I sat on my black couch with the cat still in my arms. I wonder what I should name him. Just at that moment the train passed the house about a few yards away from my backyard.
I was able to get this house so cheap because of the train that always came around here at the same time every night, 7 o' clock. He sunk his claws into my arms out of surprise. After it passed he looked down where some of my blood started to flow out of the shallow wound. He seemed almost alarmed that he had done such a thing and immediately began to lick at it. I sighed at the feeling and gave a small smile. His amber eyes twinkled with mischief and joy.
"That's it! How about we name you Train!" I exclaimed suddenly. The cat, Train, turned around and his face almost looked like it held a smile upon it. Maybe having a sweet little kitten won't be so bad, I thought.
After a little while I had given him some milk and a can of tuna that I had found in my cupboard. Then Train easily fell asleep soon afterward. I had started cutting out the pieces to the dress, I had even started to construct it too. But after some time, sleep withheld me from going any further. They just couldn't stay open, and the fatigue was making my vision blurry.
Looking behind me, I saw Train nestled in the middle of the couch, almost invisible surrounded by black. But the even breathing gave his sleeping mass away, that and the small red baby blanket over him. I had stuck my thumbs with the needle about twenty more times with my shaking hands before I finally gave up and succumbed to slumber.
****Do you like to talk to tomatoes..?****
I woke with a start when I heard a weird noise. I jumped out of my seat and looked behind me to find train missing and the blanket sprawled about on the floor. I went exploring to find my new kitten. As quietly as I could, I tiptoed onwards. When I turned the corner I saw the bathroom light on, the beams from the light were sprawled over the wall across from the bathroom. In the light I could see the silhouette of a person standing. The hell would that be? Panic seemed to run through me as I saw a small tail twitch in the same silhouette. They got Train?!
Immediately, I ran in front of the door to confront the (literal) cat-napper. I was confronted with a very strange sight, to say the least. Framed by the golden light of the bathroom was a very, very handsome young man. Oh and if that wasn't enough, he was stark naked! And his body looked gooooooood!
His chocolate brown hair came to rest on his forehead, to frame his perfectly handsome face, his amber-green eyes seemed to sparkle as a blush started to appear on his cheeks. He had been facing the toilet so his toned back and long, black tail was facing me and his head was turned sideways to look at me. Wait, what? A tail?!
"Hey, perv, close the door!" he yelled embarrassed. I tried to move but I couldn't. Shock held me down and soon it became too much weight for me. I didn't realize I was falling until I hit the floor. The fuzzy silhouette on the wall opposite me started to become larger as the boy (whoever he was) must have started to get closer to me was the last thing I saw before I fainted.
