KH*YP*KH*YP

Harajuku, Japan

Hands shoved into the pockets of his jacket, permanent scowl etched onto his young face, Yuri Plisetsky kept his head down as he marched down the street. He couldn't believe Victor and that idiot Katsuki! How could they just up and disappear on him like this? He knew Victor was as fickle as a butterfly, indulging his wants and desires like an unsupervised kid in a candy store, and Katsuki was a crybaby, moronic, pork cutlet bowl obsessed…

What was his point again?

Yuri squinted his eyes, unintentionally looking angry, as he thought.

Oh well, he mentally shrugged. Must not have been important enough to remember where he was going with that train wreck. In retrospect, he shouldn't be surprised since it was those two clowns. Victor, while a brilliant male figure skater, tended to do whatever he pleased without thought or concern. And then there was Yuri Katsuki, who would willingly follow the older male off a cliff.

Yuri breathed out a deep sigh. Coming to Tokyo had been Katsuki's idea of a good time, seeing as how Katsuki's hometown was small, and everyone knew everyone. Tokyo, at least, held a sense of anonymity. But so far he found the trip less than agreeable.

"Excuse me," a cute, feminine voice called out. Yuri stopped, wondering if it was a fan who recognized him. "Do you have a minute? Our store just opened, and we'd love it if you would visit!"

His first reaction was to completely ignore the summons, but he was already turning, hot tempered words ready to fly off his sharp tongue at the presumptuous woman.

"Listen, you—" Yuri abruptly stopped, his light colored eyes widening in surprise. The heat that bloomed upon his cheeks was instant and extremely embarrassing for the fifteen year old.

The young woman, who appeared only a couple of years older than himself, had raven black hair that fell in silky waves down a slim back, highlighting the petite, five-foot-two figure. Her skin was pale and smooth, not a single blemish in view. Because of the competitive sport he participated in, Yuri took special notice that she was athletic, with toned arms and legs, and seemed to possess a natural grace. Her amethyst eyes were unique and mesmerizing.

But the most important quality Yuri cared about were the adorable, fluffy cat ears perched upon the unknown woman's head. And, if his eyes didn't deceive him, she also sported a matching tail attached to her backside.

She smiled questioningly, cocking her head to the side like the curious cat she portrayed. "Would you like to visit our store, meow~?" she chimed out.

Yuri jumped, cheeks heating even more at the cute sound she made. "W-What?" he stuttered. "What is this? What are you?"

She raised a gently curled hand, mimicking a paw, as her eyes sparkled with a playful light. "I'm a neko, meow~! I work in that store over there." She pointed in the direction she indicated, though Yuri didn't tear his gaze away from her.

"W-Why are you dressed as a cat?"

She beamed. "It's part of my uniform, meow~! Isn't it the most darling thing you have ever seen?" She twirled in a circle, elegant and full of grace.

"It's… something," Yuri settled on saying, finding the young woman more and more adorable despite his mental reserves. She played the part of a cat so perfectly, he couldn't help but… want her… like he did most cat-related paraphernalia. It was like his first trip to Japan all over again, when he couldn't stop himself from buying the T-shirt with a lion on it.

"So, would you like to visit our store, meow~?" she asked once more, smiling hopefully in a 'please, please, please' way that was difficult to refuse.

Yuri bit his tongue to keep his mouth shut. He needed to find Victor and Katsuki before those boneheads did something incredibly stupid as they were prone to do.

But…

Sweat beaded on his forehead.

But…

He couldn't tear his eyes away from her pleading expression.

But…

Damn, he cursed. She was using a soulful look now, all big, sad eyes, obviously going in for the kill without a hint of remorse.

But…

Yuri's bottom lip wobbled.

But…!

She leaned in, her facial features morphing decidedly into something feline and predatory. She knew she had him in the palm of her delicate, little hand.

Bu–!

Oh, screw it! His mind wailed. His head dropped in shame as he finally gave in to his heart's desires. He had thought he could be manly and strong, but there was no way he would've been able to resist the temptation she offered on a silver platter.

"Okay," he conceded in his thick, Russian accent. "I'll go visit your store."

"Yay!" she cheered, bouncing up and down in excitement. "I knew you would be the perfect playmate for me, meow~!"

She latched onto one of his arms, all but dragging him to the mentioned store she kept raving about.

"Pla-Playmate?" Yuri stuttered, bewildered and highly embarrassed. "W-What kind of store are you taking me to, woman?"

Kagome grinned like the cat that ate the canary. "An otaku one, of course, meow~! This is Harajuku, you know."
