The morning was warm, with the February themed grocery stores, stalls, and plenty of places to display sales of this months holiday, it was quite annoying to Light Yagami. Not to mention his birthday was this month, the girls in his class will probably be fighting each other just to get his attention. Again.
It was always like this. The moment the month of his birthday came up, all the girls in his class were eating at each others necks just to get his attention, using blackmail at each other, and other things he didn't give a shit about. Its like a one-month round. As soon as March comes around the girls suddenly are besties of frendies (best friends) forever. Just like that. Like a switch. On and Off, On and Off.
He didn't even like any of the girls. They were all so….so…..what´s those words again? Oh yeah.
Boring
Plain
Uninterested
To put it simply, he didn't care at all about his birthday anymore.
That's right, Light Yagami used to care about his birthday, he enjoyed the relaxing day of just being with his family and having a little of one or two smiles on his face. Real smiles. He wasn't depressed or anything like that, no he was quite calm and neutral about everything in the world, and the reality he lives in. But with Valentine´s Day today…
He might as well go kill himself right now.
¨Hi Light-kuuuunnnn!¨ a horrible false sugar-coated voice said from afar. Followed by other shrieks of those annoying fan-girls, and finally coming up to his face, shoving cakes, chocolates and who knows what else into his face, competing each other for his attention and screaming that their dear Light-kun belonged to them.
Yup, definitely moving school, and never giving information about his personal life.
(especially his date of birthday)
ºººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººº
He made it.
He didn't know how in the hell he did, but he made it.
He managed to escape from a group of stray cats by hiding in an alley.
Why? Because fuck you, that´s why.
How? Haha. Fuck you, that's how.
L was just as pissed as them. He was just walking around in an abandoned building, looking around, just seeing if there was food anywhere, he was dying to get something in his stomach to keep him going. And he did, he found leftovers of some type of pasta food, and some other human food.
He only ate a bit, when those stray cats found
¨Hey! What the hell are you doing eating our food, you little punk!¨ a scratchy voice said
L had looked up and say 4 dirty looking cats, one who had horrible cuts all over his body intimidated him.
L tried to tell them that it was an accident, he honestly didn't know it was theirs, plus, he only ate very little, so there was still enough for them, only them.
That seemed to anger them, thinking that he would eat with them. And pounced at him.
The orange cat that was at the very back, suddenly stopped attacking him and looked at him.
¨Hey wait a minute.¨ he said ¨Aren´t you one of the kittens of that disgusting bitch, the one with the pretty eyes?
L fumed inside, but didn't open his mouth.
¨What do you mean, Goren?¨The cat next to him asked.
¨You know, the rumored cat that was once a human girl or something like that but somehow managed to turn into a cat just because it was the only way to save her babies? I have seen her before, and this one smells just like her.¨ The cat known a Goren pointed his head at L.
Shit, they knew.
L has a secret:
L is one the born kittens from that of a used-to-be-human cat, but he didn't care, he loved his mommy, just the way she was.
That's why he and his brothers were so smart.
Their mom taught them how humans behave, how everything works in the human world, pretty much, everything. And when they were young too. They loved to hear all sorts of stories their mother told them, she also taught them the human language, just in case the time came.
He thought about the last thing their mother taught them before she was murdered.
¨Maybe I can try it out?, I have to get out of here before they atta-¨
He didn't get to finish that thought as they began to scratch, kick, bite and attack him all over again, just for fun this time, the food long forgotten.
He fought them of course, but of course, he was badly injured.
But he escaped.
¨Who am I kidding, that's the last of my worries¨
Walking for a long time, stopping infront of some kind of human school.
He began to cry.
ºººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººº
¨Light-kun! You big meanie!¨ the girl told him, throwing the chocolate box that she was planning to give to Light on the floor, in front of him, then running of crying like the big baby she was.
Seriously, when will they understand?
¨I´m not interested, sorry, but I don't like you¨ was the same line he used every time a girl came to him, confessing their love to him, and saying something about being the best girlfriend in the world if he just accepted their unconditioned love.
Light sighed. He probably rejected like about 30 girls already, and he just wished that he could punch every girl that came close to him.
Well, at least school is over, like really over. He just graduated, and he is finally going to be a detective. He just needed a few more classes that thankfully were on weekends and that they were night classes, so life was good.
Or was it?
He wasn't sure. His father had told him to at least accept one of the girls in his school to be his girlfriend, to maybe marry her and have a nice family, to take finally rest and have a beautiful calm life. Light didn't want a calm life, sure he wanted calmness, but he wanted an interesting life, one that wasn't sooooooo boring.
But he wasn't interested in girls.
They annoyed him, big time.
He suddenly heard an interesting sound, catching his attention.
Without knowing, he made it to the entrance gate.
He heard whimpering and some sort of crying. He looked everywhere, and found a small puff of black fur next to a pillar of the entrance gate.
It was a small kitten, and it looked injured and unhealthy. And it was crying, the kitten was looking up to the sky, and Light saw tears running down the kittens little cheeks, to its whiskers, and then to the concrete floor.
The kitten, sensing his presence, stop for a moment to look at Light.
Light´s breath suddenly stopped.
The kitten was looking at him with the most beautiful dark-obsidian eyes he had ever seen, so wide and watery, a few drops of tears still dropping. The kitten was weak, and was injured, and the whole scene made Light´s heart beat fast.
ººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººººº
L was staring at a peculiar human.
He had auburn colored hair, amber eyes, and smooth sun-kissed skin.
L saw him as the definition of….. warmth. ¨Maybe I finally lost it and I´m seeing illusions?¨
The human took a step forward, and then another one and another one, until he was close enough to bend down on one knee and started petting him. L sniffed a bit and when he saw the smile on the human´s face when he opened his arms to pick up L, he suddenly climbed on the human´s arms, and rested there, purring against the human´s chest. The human laughed and told him that it was ok, everything is alright, and L, for a moment, thought about his previous owner, how he left him.
But this human was different, he knew it. Cat instinct.
