Normal pov

Ritsu was a well groomed cat. He kept his tail and ears clean and fluffy. He took care of them but as for himself? He was skinny and often abused by his owners. Ritsu was a certain breed. Unlike normal cats Ritsu had a human body with ears and a tail like a cat. His emerald green eyes watched every movement and his tail liked to twitch when he was treated well. He would often purr when someone rub him just right on his ears. Ritsu only figured out these quirks after experience. When he was just a young kitten, maybe at the age of 15 when he was a stray, a boy found him. He cared for him and the two developed feelings for each other. Finding pleasure with each other they were content until Ritsu felt betrayed and left him the next morning. Ritsu tried his hardest the rest of his life to never remember that sweet time he had. More times than not he found himself dreaming about laying in his senpai's arms after sex and thinking how happy he was. But now here Ritsu was, in a pet shop with others like his breed with him, waiting to be adopted. But Ritsu knew if he was adopted it'd be no different. He'd be treated very well with in a few hours but soon he found himself trapped in a corner, a hungry man standing in front of him, waiting to taste what he had. Ritsu usually lashed out and got sent back to the pet shop but Ritsu didn't mind, he absolutely hated being treated like a sex toy. He was alive and capable of feelings! Although he had a special saga senpai that wouldn't leave the back of his mind, no matter how hard he tried. Ritsu currently sat in a display window next to his friend, misaki. Misaki was a shy kitten, a little young to be in the store but Ritsu and misaki's brother looked out for him. Ritsu got over his shyness after leaving senpai and soon became a rude and jaded cat. He was 25 at the moment. Many of the women looked at him and swooned but most men grew jealous and had to buy him, fuck him, and then try and keep him but Ritsu didn't want that life. He hated it when he was reminded of saga senpai's touch when having sex so he'd run away and sulk. Ritsu indeed was a special breed... He was a jaded breed.

Takano's pov

Fucking work! Im done with it! I can never get a script in on time! And then I have to deal with the fucking printers. I wonder how I'm still alive sometimes... I work hard into the night and wake up early to do it over again. I need someone I can go home too, someone I can leave early to be with. Someone to give me a reason to stay here, to live and continue on. Someone to take all this stress away from me. I sigh as I pack up my things. It really sucks being the editor in chief of Markuawa Publishing... My mind flashes back to a simple time in my life where I was completely content. Holding my Oda... I smile. If only he hadn't run off... My heart sank. Why? Why did he leave me like that? I shake my head and head home, locking the office up as I do so. On my way home I pass by the pet shop. Maybe a pet is a good idea... I'll stop in there after work tomorrow. Assuming I can get out of there early enough... Damn work! I grip my suitcase full of papers and grit my teeth. Hell of a packed suitcase tonight...

That morning Takano woke up, got dressed, and went to work only this time he walked by the pet shop again. That's when he saw him. The most beautiful and familiar breed he'd ever seen. Light brown hair was messy atop his head and light green emerald eyes sagged in sadness and lack of sleep. It was shocking at how familiar this cat seemed. His phone buzzed and he cursed under his breath. He had to go to work. Walking away hurriedly, Ritsu climbed into the display window. There he stayed all day sleeping peacefully. Then at 5:30 he saw a man with striking features, sparking memories of someone familiar but he couldn't place it. They locked eyes and Takano knew then an there that he needed to buy that cat, no matter the cost or consequence.

Ritsu's pov

Swoon! Swoon! Swoon! That's all the women do when they walk by! Sometimes they stop and whisper about how cute and adorable I am. I just sigh and turn away. I mean any normal male would play the moves and get lucky but not me! I'm not catching any feelings for anyone any time soon! Never! Nope! Not me! I hate love and I shall never love again. I stuck up my nose and gave a triumph "hmp!" Until someone catches my eyes. The person was simply walking by when they stopped and stared me. It was a man and though I couldn't place his face as an owner of mine I could of almost sworn I've seen him before. Our eyes locked and I just knew deep down that I wanted that man as my owner; that I needed that man. Realizing what I have just thought I blush horrendously and look away. No! Bad Ritsu! You won't feel this way toward men! Never again! I shake my head and continue to read my manga. Whatever I'm over senpai! Besides... He's probably found a wife by now. Having kids and buying a house to fit them all in. I sigh as a scenario where me and saga senpai buy a house together and he picks me up, spinning me around before kissing me, smiling at how beautiful the moment of us being together is. "Ri-chan!" A familiar voice pulled me from my thoughts I look over at Kisa as he ran over to me. He opened the display box and smiled brightly. "It's my turn now!" He cheered. I sighed, shaking my head. "Suit yourself... I don't know why you always get adopted and then return back here..." I mutter. He chuckled. "I could say the same for you, Ri-chan!" He smirked and I blushed. Laying down in my normal bed beside the check out counter I begin to fall asleep. Aw... The life of a cat isn't all bad... I smile and drift off. Waking up I heard a deep resonating voice that sent shivers down my spine. It was familiar yet so distinct. I sat up, yawning and running my eyes. I was still at the counter. "Are you sure you want him? All of his owners have either brought him back or he's ran away and came back on his own. They say he's a vicious little thing but I hardly can blame him. After all who knows what they do to him when they take him home. By all means if you want him as much as you say you do then take him." My owner stated. I perked up. Someone's getting adopted!? I stood up and noticed it was the man I saw earlier. My eyes widened. What's he doing here? And whose he going to adopt? A tiny blush tints my cheeks and he looks at me, smiling slyly. "So you're awake? How lovely. How much did you say he was?" He asked turning back to master. She smiled at the man. "He's 17,000 yen." She stated. The man gritted his teeth and hesitated but then wrote out a check. "There that should cover it, may I take him now?" He asked. Master nodded and pointed out a few tips on how to care for our kind. Getting way to curious for my own good I spoke up. "Who are you buying sir?" I asked quietly. He smirked. "You." He stated simply. My eyes widened once more and a big blush spread across my cheeks. Me? Go with that man?! No! No! No! I can't! No! I've already been attracted to him and now he wants to buy me?! No I can't handle that! While I was having my internal breakdown my old owner cashed the check and put a collar on me, stating my name, day I was bought and my owner and his address. "There all done, you may go." She stated. The man smiled and nodded, grabbed my hand and pulled me along. I stumbled after him but soon found my feet. I looked back at those I had been with for so long. They gave me weird looks as I usually would fight back but I couldn't bring my self to do it this time. I wonder why? For some reason my hand tightens around his as he leads me to our new home. I wonder what it'll be like? Will he treat me right or play me just like all the others? A familiar feeling of dread swept over me but diminished when he squeezed my hand back and pulled me along harder. Indeed... What will life be like now? When I arrived at his home I was shocked. He wasn't some rich man with a lavished home or apartment. He was a man of common things and he kept his room clean. I looked around at his flat. It was rather nice, small and built for one but very homey. "I wish I could greet you longer and let you get use to things but unfortunately I have a guest coming over so if you could clean up that'd be great, there's a room in the back with some of my old clothes. You can try them on and see if any fit." He directed me to the room and opened the door for me. I took a cautious step forward, venturing in. A knock on his door sounded and he sighed. "Just come back out when your ready." He stated before leaving. I curled my lip. He's a busy man... Left to my own devices I picked out a pair of stretchy sweatpants and a big shirt that, when my posture slacked, my shoulders showed. I reached for the door when I heard voices. "You bought a neko?! Masamune what were you thinking!? Return it!" The older man yelled. I gulped, my heart racing. They were talking about me! I must prove to this rude man that I was not a mistake! I quickly changed into some jeans and a better fitting shirt. Walking out I met the two men in the living room. My gut instinct was to hiss at the strange new man who disliked my owners choice to buy me but I held myself back. I walked right to my owners side and stood beside him. The man stared at me, his eyes were focused and hard; cold as ice. I didn't shrink away, I kept my ground instead. My owner chuckled. "Yokozawa this is-" he looked over at me and I guessed he wanted my name. "Ritsu Onodera. Pleasure." I bowed to both of them and then stood back up. I was trying my hardest to be formal around Yokozawa. "Masamune..." Yokozawa hesitated on his decision to accept me. Another quietness swept over us. I could smell a familiar scent. Yokozawa had a cat himself... I sniffed again to determine my assumption. Yes he indeed had a cat. I hide my cringe. I didn't like this man yet he had a cat himself. "Alright if this is what you really want. Just know he'll be more time consuming than a regular neko." Yokozawa explained, relenting. I exhaled in relief. So he's accepting me? That's a good thing, isn't it? My owner smiled. "Great, let's sit shall we?" My owner sat down on the couch and Yokozawa did the same, leaving no room for me. So I sat on a chair instead. They talked with each other but not me. They acted as if I wasn't there. Sitting quietly I began to grow tired. I pulled my legs up to my chest and laid my head down on my knees. Their deep conversation droned on but I fell asleep.
