HOMRA'S Black Cat Multiroute Fanfiction
Chapter 1-The Black Cat Neutral Route
The soft pattering of rain filled the night air, as one lone teen treked the dark streets. The rolling of wheels against the pavement the only other sound, as he glanced both ways before crossing the street. A small disturbance in posture, from the moment he reached the other side, the only thing detering his movements before laughter could be heard. The boy ignoring the noise, and continuing his trek, before he got closer toward said noise and caught the sound of voices over the rain.
"Watch'm squirm, such a patheric creature!" One male voice laughed, as the teen slowed to a stop and set a foot against the ground. Hazel eyes moving toward a dakened alleyway, as eyebrows furrowed and he strained to hear anymore of the conversation.
"Look at him cower. Such a stupid animal." Another male voice spoke, as a third jumped in with a giggle.
"Come here, Kitty! We won't hurt you, much!"
The devious laughter erupted once more as the teen felt something snap. His foot kicking off against the pavement, as he tore into the alleyway and toward the voices. The sound of his skateboard echoing in the alleyway as the men further down caught the noise and started speaking quickly to one another.
"Someone's coming."
"Quick, let's get out of here!"
"What about-?"
"Forget'm and let's go!"
The sound of hurried footsteps reached him, before he finally caught sight of the scene of the crime. Three slezy looking men running down the alleyway, as the teen noticed a small lump against the cement and skated towards it. The assailiants escaping, not like it mattered considering he'd pay them back later for whatever damage they did, as he skated to a stop and squinted down at the lump with a frown. Said lump slowly breathing, and pulling in raspy breaths, as his eye adjusted to the excptionally dark alleyway and his eyes widened. Laying against the cement, and shaking in what had to be fear and pain, was a small black cat. It's fur an ever living mess of wet fur, as the little create seemed to notice his presence and lift it's head up to focus weak blue eyes toward him.
"Mew."
The single sound heartbreaking, as it came out pathetically weak and the feline's voice cracked. The young teen unable to stop himself, as he gently knelt down in front of the animal and gently reached out his hand for the animal to sniff.
"Hey little guy. Did those assholes hurt you?" The boy asked, even though he knew the feline wouldn't be able to understand.
"Mew." Came the weak reply, as he seemed to look up at him pleadingly and the teen gently scratched the top of the animal's head.
The feline accepting the touch, as the poor thing leaned into it, but kept his eyes on him. The boy noticing how the cat seemed to shiver against the rain, as he pulled his hand back and quickly untied the red sweater from around his waist.
"Come on, let's get you out of the rain. I know a bar full of people who would love to feed you and spoil you rotten." The teen spoke with a smile, as he gently lifted the soaked animal into his damp sweater and into his arms. "It'll be a bit of a bumpy ride, but it'll be worth it."
In response, the feline curled up into the damp fabric and mewed up at him. Deep blue eyes gazing up at him, in what he believed was relief, as the teen held the bundle close and stood back on his skateboard before taking off.
"To HOMRA."
The ring of the bell above the door signaled his arrival, as he carefully manuvered his skateboard into the bar with the feline in his arms. The people in the bar turning to the disturbance, before the man behind the counter took in his appearence and frowned.
"Honestly, Yata-chan, I thought I told you to take an umbrella with you." The blonde behind the bar scolded, as he reached under it and produced a dry towel. The man walking toward him with a frown, till he noticed the bundle in his arms. "What do you have there?"
In response, the teen carefully pulled the hood on the sweater back and revealed the soaked feline. Said animal lifting it's head, and looking around cautiously, before it turned blue eyes up at him and mewed. The noise attracting everyone's attention in the bar, before the teen sheepishly smiled at the feline and ignored the stares.
"I was on my way home when I overheard a commotion in an alleyway. I decided to check it out and found this little guy." The skateboarder spoke, as one of the men got up and walked over. His hair and eyes a warm orange, as he stopped beside him and looked the feline over as the teen looked up at him. "I thought you might be able to help him, Kosuke."
"Of course." The young man beside him spoke, as he gently took the bundle from him and carried him toward the couch and coffee table in the corner.
"I'll get some dry towels for'm."
"He's going to need a bath. Let me start it up."
"I'll go see if we have any fish for'm."
In an instant the other people in the bar quickly got up and started to help, as the skateboarder took the dry towel from the blonde and tried to dry himself off some. The small cat watching him, as Kosuke gently unwrapped the feline from the sweater and stroked his head.
"He's well behaved." The animal lover spoke, as Yata rose an eyebrow and walked over to them. The teen completely oblivious to the wince the bartender gave at all the water he tracked across the wood floor.
"It's a boy?" He asked, as the male nodded and brushed his fingers against his neck. A jingle reaching them, as both guys sat up straighter and Kosuke started moving wet fur aside. "He has a collar? I didn't see one."
Slowly the man beside him moved wet fur aside, till a black collar came into view with a simple gold tag hanging off it. Kosuke's eyebrows furrowing, as he gently tugged on the collar and frowned.
"It's too tight for him." The animal lover spoke, as he quickly found the clasp and removed the collar. The feline stiffening, as it turned blue eyes toward the object and reached for it with a mew. "This is too small for you. You'll choke if it gets caught on something."
In response the feline's ears flattened, as the male beside him turned the collar over and revealed the name on the tag.
"Nekota?" Yata spoke, as he read it, and the feline mewed in response. "Well it fits you, I'll give you that. Does it have an address of a phone number on it?"
A quick look on both sides revealed there wasn't, as the little girl on the other side of the room walked over and gently pat the kitty on the head. The feline's ear flattening, as a broken purr came from him, and Kosuke watched the reaction.
"Yata, did you see what happened to him?" He asked, as the teen shook his head and the girl pulled out a red marble to look at the cat through.
"No, I came in as they ran off. He sounded really hurt though."
"He is." The little girl spoke, as she turned red-violet eyes toward them and her white hair fell past her shoulder's. The girl putting her marble back in the pocket of her red liliotta dress, before looking at them. "He says his chest hurts really bad and hurts to breath."
"They probably kicked his ribs in then, and it's far too late to have someone have a look at him." Kosuke spoke, as he gently stroked the top of the feline's ears. "Can we clean you up in the meantime, Nekota? Chitose is getting a warm bath ready for you."
In an instant the feline's ears flattened, as he lowered his head and tried to hide under the fabric of Yata's sweater.
"He doesn't like water." The girl spoke, as Yata frowned.
"Well you're already wet, so it won't make much difference. You'll just be warm is all." The skateboarder spoke, felling stupid for having a conversation with a cat via the young strain beside him. "That and you'll be clean. So don't complain."
"He's scared." The girl spoke beside him, as Yata sighed and rubbed a hand over his face. "Warm or not, he doesn't-"
"Like water. I got it the first time." The skateboarded spoke, as he grabbed the bundle and headed for the bathroom. "You're still getting a bath whether you like it or not."
In response the feline squirmed in his sweater and mewed in protest. The skateboarder ignoring the protests, and attempts of escape, as he walked into the bathroom and thrust the bundle toward the male kneeling on the floor by the tub.
"He's all your, Chitose." Yata grumbled, as the light haired burnette turned to him and wavy locks fell in his face slightly. "I'll warn you, Anna says he hates water. With a great passion apparently."
"Is that so?" The man spoke, as he stood up from beside the tub and walked over. "Well don't worry little guy. The water isn't too high. You can stand in it and it won't reach your belly."
In response the feline perked up a little and glanced toward the tub. Yata using the chance to hand the cat over, as Chitose took the bundle and carried him toward the tub.
"Alright, in we go." And before the skateboarder could blink the man pulled the feline out of the sweater and set him in the water. Nekota instantly jumping at the first contact, as Chitose chuckled and scratched his head. "Easy there. See, it ain't too bad. Right?"
In response the feline wadded a bit through the water, before stopping and mewing up at them. The womanizer taking it as a sign that the feline was ok, as he smiled and grabbed cat shampoo Kosuke left in the bar for these occasions.
"Then let's get you cleaned up." He spoke, as he started the process and Yata took it upon himself to see himself out.
The male knowing the cat was in good hands, as he closed the door and headed back to the bar. Time/Line Break
"Here we are, all clean!" Chitose exclaimed, as they all turned to see a bundle of clean shiny black fur in his arms. "And he was so well behaved. Must be my charm."
"You have no charm." A male with a bowler hat and square glasses spoke, as he frowned at him. "And Kosuke said the cat is a guy, not a girl."
A frown instantly fell over the man's face, as a few memebers chuckled and the man carried the feline back over to the skateboarder and animal lover. The small cat mewing happily as he was handed back to Kosuke and Yata scratched behind his ear. All the matted and dirty fur gone, as the teen smiled at the fluffy and shiny black coat with pride. The lone fact that he was able to save this little creature's life, and make him look like this, filling him with happiness as Kosuke watched him and gave him a knowing smile. The animal lover no doubt realizing what he was thinking about, as he suddenly set the feline in his lap and the teen stiffened slightly. Nekota shifting a little, till he was comfortable and settled, before he mewed up at him. Blue eyes boring into hazel, and pleading for attention, as the teen gave in and gently scratched the top of the cat's head. Soft, broken, purrs filling the air as an older male stepped out of the kitchen with a plate and bowl in hand.
"I heard we have a little kitty here tonight." The male spoke happily, as short light brown hair bounced slightly when he walked. Warm brown eyes falling on the bundle in the skateboarder's lap, as he beamed and set a plate of fish and a bowl of water on the coffee table. "And I hope you're hungry, little one."
In the instant the fish was revealed, Nekota mewed happily in his lap and struggled to go after it. Yata letting out a small chuckle, as he lifted the feline up and set him on the coffee table. The young cat instantly diving for the meal, as he went head first for the meat, and started feverishly digging into the food. The creator of the dish smiling happily at the feline's actions, as he nudged the bowl of water closer into the cat's sight and knelt down to watch with a smile.
"Thank you, Totsuka-san." Yata spoke to the cook, as the male turned to him and smiled.
"It's nothing, Yata-chan. I was just surprised you were the one that brought him in." Totsuka spoke, as the teen blushed and looked elsewhere. "If anything I thought Kosuke found another stray."
"Well, I wasn't going to just leave him there to get beat up." The skateboarder mumbled, as the male's smile grew. "Quit looking at me like that."
Meanwhile Nekota finished his food and licked his muzzle clean. The feline lapping at the water bowl, before he sat up and cleaned his face. Anna watching the cat, from the couch on the other side of the room, through her marble. The young strain quiet, till she turned to the man half-asleep beside her and tugged on his shirt sleeve. A grumble leaving the red-haired male, as he turned amber eyes toward her and rose an eyebrow.
"Can we keep him?" The young strain asked, as the man frowned and looked over at the feline currently trying to climb into Yata's lap without jumping and jostling his injuries.
"He probably has an owner, Anna." The blonde bartender spoke, as the girl seemed to slump a little and look at the cat through her marble.
The man watching the young strain study the feline, through the object in her finger's, as he turned to said creature and watched silently. The small cat in question mewing up at Yata pleadingly, and pawing at his hands, before his vanguard moved his attention away from his vassal and toward the feline. The skateboarder happily giving the cat the attention it desired, as he pet the creature and the cat mewed happily. The pitch slightly lighter than the previous, as the feline obediently laid in the teen's lap and closed his eyes. Each action causing the man's brow to furrow, till the bar owner noticed and stood by his side.
"Something wrong, Mikoto?" The blonde asked, as he grunted in response and turned to the young strain beside him.
"Why do you want to keep him?" He asked, as the bar owner went to argue and the little girl turned to him.
"He's lonely and doesn't want to go back out there alone." SHe spoke, as she turned to watch the feline happily purr in Yata's lap. "He's special."
At the last of her words the bar owner's eyebrows rose, before he looked toward the male on the couch and waited for a reply.
"Kusanagi."
"Yes, Mikoto?" The blonde spoke up, as the man turned toward him.
"Have one of the boys take him to the vet tomorrow. See what's wrong with him and get him what shots he needs." He ordered, as the girl beside him looked up at him.
"He won't like that idea." She spoke, as he decided to ignore the comment and Kusanagi nodded.
"Anyone in particular?" He asked, as they turned to watch Chitose play with Nekota's paws while Yata reprimanded the womanizer.
"Send Chitose. Yata can go if he wants to as well. The cat is calmer around them." A nod left the male next to him, as he headed back to his beloved bar and Anna continued to look up at him. "What?"
"He won't like the idea of going to the vet." She warned once more, as he proceeded to ignore the warning.
Afterall, if was just a cat. Special or not, nothing bad could happen because of a stupid trip to the vet.

Scarlett: *waves to the camera* Hello everyone! Welcome to my first K fanfiction, HOMRA's Black Cat, and my first Multiroute Fanfiction!

Depending on your choice you'll be walking down the route of one of four members of HOMRA's route!

At the end of chapter 2, leave a review/comment with your choice (either A or B) and the choice with the most votes will be the next chapter. Of course I'll be trying to work on the other choice chapters in the meantime, but for the time being I'll be focusing on one route at a time so we can reach the end of it and I can move to the next.
And just like in DRAMAtical Murder there will be good and bad endings! So be careful what choices you pick later on in the fic, because little Nekota or the other character may be meeting they're end! There will also be M-rated scenes with each route, so don't worry!
