A/N: Hi everyone! Let's kick things off with a headcanon Dark Balance and I believe in.

Credit also goes to Aiko Isari for the title. Here goes! Please enjoy.

Kouichi exhaled sharply as he lifted the last of the boxes off of the removalist's truck. It was heavier than he expected; he wished the driver had helped he and his mother shift the boxes inside.

His mother was upstairs, sorting out their rooms and making their beds. He paused for a break after setting the box down on the living room floor. Kouichi opened the flaps back and saw a photo album sitting at the top. He picked it up and flicked through the pages.

After a few moments of browsing, the quiet boy noticed a white feline with purple-tipped ears and a gold ring on her tail.

Kouichi's jaw dropped a little. That's no ordinary cat, he realized. Where had his mother found her? And, more importantly, why had she not told him about the adventure she embarked on?
