He suddenly felt an additional warm weight on his chest. He reached his hand thinking it was his cover but his hands touch gently fluffy fur… He slowly opened his yeas and turned his head to look at the time. It was just before six o'clock. He looked at his chest and saw two bright yellow yeas looking back at him. He raised his hand and touched the head of the black cat, and was rewarded with a loud purr. The cat was rather big, not to say fat and extremely fluffy. He had no idea what type of cat it was, but it had cute yellow eyes and was completely black. He noticed something blue on its neck, which proved to be a collar. He sat and hugged the cat, for which he was rewarded with an even louder purr. "Missy Misaki"

"So your name is Missy?" He asked the cat gently scratching it. The cat purred back. "I guess it is." He flipped the sign with the name and noticed a phone number. "Come on, let's give your owner a call." He told the cat and she responded again. Soon he discovered how she got into his bedroom, he left the patio window open because of the heat, and she must have come from one of the neighboring properties.

"It's too early to call your owner Missy." He scratched the cat again. He headed for the kitchen. "What would you say for some tuna?" He asked and the cat meowed in response. "So you like tuna?" He asked and again a feline response. He took a look into the cupboard and fortunately one of the few cans he had was indeed tuna. He opened the can and put the tuna on a small plate. The cat was delighted.

He left the cat in the kitchen and decided to take a shower and go training. He took a look around his new house and kept thinking that he should finally buy some things for it. The little furniture he moved from his flat were definitely not enough to fill a big house. He had to do some shopping as well, and buy a pack of cat food just in case his neighbour liked morning visits. When he came out of the showed he noticed his visitor came back to the bedroom and was sleeping on his pillow. He put on his training clothes and went to his favorite room in the house. The room because of which he chose this house in the first place. His own Dojo.


"Gina have you seen Missy anywhere?" Kaoru asked her housekeeper just after she got up.

"No I haven't Miss." The servant replied. "She probably went on a stroll again…" The maid sighted.

"You're probably right…" The girl replied and went back to her bedroom to get a shower. She was really happy, the morning was nice and sunny, soon summer would start… And most importantly today was Sunday! This meant no school and training with her father.

Her father was a well known teacher of his own martial art style. He was the master of the Kamiya Kasshin style, created and passed down in her family for generations. They owned many martial art schools and clubs, and also organized several internationally known martial art competitions. It was in her blood to fight and train. Ever since she was a little child she would train with her father. When school wasn't so consuming and when her father had less work they would train every day. But ever since her father's business developed into a huge enterprise they only had Sunday mornings for continuing their tradition. During the week she would have to go to school, and two evenings a week she would teach the Kamiya Kasshin style in one of their schools, as she was the assistant master despite her young age. She liked those evenings a lot, they were part of a big charity campaign her father started in order to help children from poor families. They wanted to teach and show the way to develop and the Kamiya Kasshin style which meant to protect was the perfect tool.

She went out of her room dressed in her training clothes. She went to the kitchen and saw Gina prepare breakfast. There were some sandwiches on a plate. She grabbed one. "Has Missy shown up for breakfast?" The girl asked worried.

"No she hasn't, but don't worry Miss as soon as she gets hungry she'll come back in no time!" The servant laughed. She looked at the clock and noticed it was already seven. The girl smiled grabbed one more sandwich and ran to meet her father in the dojo.


He came back from his morning training to find the cat where he had left it. On his pillow. He smiled and went to take a shower, he dried his hair put on some trousers and went back into the bedroom. He looked at the time it was already ten. A good time to call and ask to whom the cat belonged. He approached the cat and gently lifted her. The cat woke up and purred to him. "Let's see…" He took out his mobile phone "651 654 731" he dialed the number.

Kaoru just entered the house when the phone rang. "I'll get it Gina!" She called and rushed to pick up.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Hello" a male voice replied "I'm searching for the owner of a cat called Missy Misaki. I found her this morning in my house." The voice explained.

"Oh thank goodness!" the girl replied "I've been looking for her all morning! Where do you live? I'll come right away and pick her up!"

"I live in the East Housing Estate, 34 Fukiu Street." He said. "It's a big house in front there is a big tree and…"

"And a red swing! Well that's just next door! I'll be right there!" She said and hung up.

He looked at the phone surprised, "Well that was rather easy to explain..." He told the cat. "Maybe I should get a cat of my own" he scratched Missy again "It's really nice having someone to talk to…" He could swear the cat smiled as she meowed again. Before he knew it there was ring at the door.

He went to open with the cat in his arms. As soon as he opened the door he noticed a beautiful girl standing in front of him. They were both totally dumb folded. He vaguely noticed her training clothes and other details too concentrated on her deep blue eyes. She could only look at this naked chest to which her cat was hugged tightly. She looked up to notice two violet eyes looking straight at her. He was… She couldn't find the right word. Nothing could reflect his eyes, his red hair, his handsome face… and his chest all in one word. Suddenly the cat meowed again bringing them both back to earth.

"Thank you for calling!" she reached for the cat trying not to touch his chest at the same time.

"It's ok, I was a bit surprised to find her in the morning but she was a good companion" He replied.

"I haven't seen you around, the Toyamas used to live here before." She noticed.

"I just moved in a week ago." He replied. They began staring at each other again. She could feel her cheeks get red and suddenly she felt very uncomfortable. "Well thank you again for taking care of Missy! I better be going before my parents get worried!" She told him, but she just couldn't go, her feet were stuck there.

"No problem at all, that it was." He smiled warmly at her. She blushed even more and smiled back. She turned around and began walking home. Then she turned back and yelled. "I'm Kaoru! Just if you'd like to know."

"My name is Kenshin." He replied and smiled as she rushed home.
