CHAPTER 1:

The rain poured from the sky in glistening drops,It pounded against the cold pavement of Ikebukuro and poured steadily into the drains that littered the night was unforgiving as well as the rain,dark and cold. No one of sane mind would still be walking around in this kind of weather. Any sane,reasonable person would have run home or ducked for cover in some shop somewhere. But Izaya Orihara was not a sane and/or a reasonable person. So as the horribly off his rocker person as he was; he was walking his way to the train station in the middle of Ikebukuro's streets.

His parka was zipped up and his hood pulled over his head,although it did little good as he was drenched to the bone, with his hair and clothes sticking firmly to his body.

"What would the Americans say..?..Ah..It's raining cats and dogs.." With his endless amount of humor and sarcasm in any situation he began to snicker at his own words. but this laughter was rudely interrupted by the sound of pitiful mewing. He paused.

"Meeeewwww!"

"Well i'll be damned..if i'm not already"

For some reason unknown to him Izaya began to follow the sounds of meowing, but what he found was not what he expected.

What the informant found was a small cardboard box covered with crude bleeding writing on one side that announced "Free kitten!". This was ordinary enough, the surprising part was what was inside the box. For as Izaya ventured further towards the box he noticed a small hand holding onto the edge of the box.

"Did some girl disown her kid?"...He thought but then reconsidered.."no.." he was positive he heard meowing..He moved closer,and slowly peered into the soggy box.

A small cat eared Mikado stared up at him. His hair was matted down from the rain and his once fluffy black ears laid flat against his head, so much so that at first Izaya didn't even notice the ears that protruded from the cat boy's head-But the tail wasn't so easy to dismiss. Mikado's large blue eyes pleaded at Izaya while he shaked from the drenching rain.

"He's so cute~"The raven haired male cooed. Then he smirked,"I could have some fun with this",with that thought he picked up little kitty Mikado.

Mikado once in Izaya's arms began to shake uncontrollably as his tail fought to puff out even in it's soaked state. This amused the man in question immensely and he began to laugh.

"Aww is the little kitty mad about being all wet~?"he teased knowing himself that wasn't the reason for the Mikado's actions,"I'll just put you right here"He said as he opened up his jacket placed Mikado inside as he cradled his small body from the outer side of the jacket.

Izaya then began to skip,rather happily to his home in Shinjuku,although all the skipping was not the most comfortable to the small cat in his jacket.

"Things should become rather interesting, wouldn't you say Mikado?" He smirked. Mikado couldn't see Izaya from inside coat but he looked up none the less, and let out a small meow. He dug his tiny little kitten like nails into Izaya's chest.

The man only laughed. "That doesn't hurt very much you know. I have my fights with Shizu-chan that hurt a lot more then those little claws" With that said the pair returned 'home'.
