Leon Orcot was walking though the alleyways on his way to visit Count D and pick up his brother.
He had seen many things over the past few months. And most of them he had gotten used to. Except D… the sugar eating-hyper active- pet shop owning son of a… AHEM… well, he just wasn't to a fond liking all that much.
So, anyway, he was on his way to China Town!
"Dumb Count D…" Leon laughed. " 'D' should stand form "dumb"." He laughed again. When then he saw a white tail partly shaded dark brown. "What the… a cat? What's it doing out here in the cold?" He knelt down and picked up the cat. "Oh my god…" he stared at the cat horrified.
It was beaten to a bloody pulp. Its fur was a puffy and eyes nearly swelled closed. It's what should be pure white fur, was a tint of red.
"Hey," Leon shook the cat.
It let out a small "mew"
"I got a friend who's gonna fix you up all right?" he told. But… truth be told… D wasn't a vet.
Leon thought he was hallucinating… did that cat just smile?
He shook his head. "No, of course not!" he repeatedly told himself. But, then he thought of T-Chan m Q-Chan and all the other freaky pets D had. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around the shivering cat.
Detective Orcot then started running to Count D's shop.
After running for five minutes, officer Orcot reached D's shop and knocked on the door since he had a cat in his arms and didn't want to drop it.
"Coming!" a girly-man voice called
Leon could hear the footsteps coming toward the door. Then, D opened it. "Why hello, my dear detective!" he chuckled in a happy tune. "Come in, come in."
"Tea time, D?" he asked taking off his shoes.
"You know me well, detective!" he smiled. "Why aren't you wearing your jacket? And why is it so bloody!" he gasped
"I need to ask you a favor Count," Leon never wanted to utter those words as long as the Count was still alive. Not that he wanted to kill him either.
"What is it?"
"I was walking over here and I saw a tail... and there was this cat." Leon folded back the jacket to reveal the blood soaked cat
"Oh my…" the Count covered his mouth
"Will you help it? I know you're not a vet and all but all the shelters were closed and I couldn't leave it outside shivering…"
Count D lowered his hand and he smiled. Perhaps officer Orcot did have a heart. Or maybe he couldn't leave anyone behind. "I'll try." Count D took Leon's jacket with the cat inside and walked down the hallway. "Aren't you coming officer?"
"Yeah." He answered following Count
It was a few weeks later when the cat awoke from full health. As it was, the cat turned out to be a "she" and D named her Yuroshii. She liked to follow the Count around and try to steal some of his tea. Yuroshii didn't get along with the other cats as much as she did with Q-Chan, T-Chan, Chris, Count D, and Leon.
Count D, Q-Chan and Chris liked to play with Yuroshii a lot and T-Chan and Leon was tolerant of her but admitted she was a good cat.
"Oh dear me…" Count sighed. "Chris and Leon aren't here to see if you have a human form..." D petted Yuroshii.
A loud mew came from the cat
T-Chan's human form came waltzing around the corner
"T-Chan!"
"MEW!"
"I didn't do it." He immediately said throwing up his hands
"I know!" D laughed. "But I want to ask you a favor," he smiled petting Yuroshii.
"What?" He asked un-amused. "No more tea time," he demanded
"No, no, of course not." He laughed. "Since Chris and detective Orcot aren't here, would you accompany me in seeing if Yuroshii has a human form?"
"Meow…" it looked as if Yuroshii was begging T-Chan to stay
"Fine." T-Chan said in defeat after a minute of the mewing and pleasing from the cat and Yuroshii. (bad pun)
"Sit on the couch T-Chan." D smiled as he set Yuroshii on a table. He walked over to a cabinet and pulled out an incense burner. D then struck a match, and tossed it into the burner.
The smoky gray came out of the vents of the burner engulfing the room. T-Chan coughed covering his mouth and nose, and trying to fan away the smoke with his other hand.
There was a shimmer of sliver and the smoke dissipated.
D gasped and T-Chan's eyes were closed still coughing. "T-Chan, look." D said softly
"What?" he turned his head, cracking one eye and coughed once more. "Holy…"
Where Yuroshii was, now sat a teen age-looking girl. Her hair was white, with a silver shimmer. The hair was as long down to her stomach then took a sharp angle up to the back of her neck. Her eyes were two colors. One blue, one frosted white with two slits of the deepest black in each. Her nails were grown out, but not like the Count's. She was slender and graceful.
If T-Chan had been drinking anything, the container would have broken on the floor and the liquid would be pouring out of his mouth
"Can you speak? What about your name?" D asked quite excited to have such a rare in his possession
"Yuroshii." She answered in an angelic voice happily. "And you are Count D," she pointed to d. "And you are T-Chan." She pointed to T-Chan.
They both nodded. D nodded with tears in his eyes and T-Chan nodded slowly
"What's your real name T-Chan?" Yuroshii asked looking over to him. "It must be a pet name," she laughed. "My humans called me S-Chan which was Soichi." She smiled
"T-Totetsu." He answered chocking on his own breath
"I like that name. It suits you well, Totetsu." She laughed
"YOU'RE SO ADORABLE!" Count D shouted as he glomped her in glee
Yuroshii jumped at the sudden impact and fell off the table
"Hey!" Totetsu shouted as he scrambled over to the other side of the couch to yell at the Count. "Get off of her before that dumb detective comes in and--"
"D what the hell are you doing!" Leon yelled
"Kitty!" Chris shouted doing the same a Count D did.
T-Chan lowered his head and sighed
"Where's the cat I brought in D?" Leon decided to change the subject
"Here she is!" D sat up, put his hands under Yuroshii's arms and held her up like a trophy
Leon raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "There's no way that ratty cat I brought in could be that babe…"
"RATTY!" she shouted
"Come now, my dear detective, is that such a way to treat a beauty?" D petted Yuroshii
She purred happily. "But, I must thank you, my dear detective, for saving my life..." She smiled still being petted
"AWWW!" D hugged Yuroshii blushing. "SHE'S MIMICKING ME!"
"Can't… breathe…!" Yuroshii gasped for air
"Sorry!" D let go
Yuroshii hit the ground gasping
"Oh my… I don't have a free room for you to stay in, Yuroshii." Count covered his mouth
"Stay with me! Stay with me!" Chris chanted
"Sorry, no cats allowed." Leon crossed his arms
"I can sleep on the couch, no biggie." She smiled. "Or I could sleep where I was before."
"In a cage so the reptiles can't eat you?" D asked with a confused look on his face. "I don't think so." He laughed. "My room is occupied with Q-Chan and the other small ones…" he pondered aloud. "And the other older female cats would just push you around… T-Chan! You're not sharing a room with anyone are you!" D asked
"N-no." he answered blushing
"Aww, goat-boy doesn't want to share a room with a girl?" Leon mocked
"SHUT-UP DECTECTIVE! YOU'RE DEAD YA HEAR ME! DEAD!" Totetsu shouted now completely red
"Oh! I am SO scared!" Leon laughed
"YOU BETTER BE!" Totetsu shouted
"D… you're suffocating me!" Yuroshii coughed
"Sorry!" he laughed letting go again
"Then again, maybe it's better if she does stay with me." T-Chan said aloud
"She might die of she stays with Count." Leon sighed. "C'mon Chris, time to go home."
"Ohh… ok."
"Let Chris stay the night, my dear detective? PLEASE!" D begged.
"Here! No chance in hell!" Leon shouted
"I'll be ok!" Chris tugged at his brother's sleeve. "I'll stay with Totetsu!"
"What? THREE people?" Totetsu growled
"Now you want to be alone?" Leon laughed at Totetsu
"DAMN YOU!" he yelled back
Weeee! Totetsu!
