Chapter one; Consequences
As the car sped down the road you could hear the thump-thump of some unlucky creature caught in it's path followed promptly by the manical laughter of two crazed and a bit more than slightly drunk Yamis.
"ha ha 10 points Ishtar!"
"No way Kura!! It was white, you know that gives me a 2 point bonus!"
And more laughter and arguements heard as the car sped off on its way to cause more havic on unsuspecting victems that night.
The next day found Ryou walking down that very same street on his way home from school enjoying the lovely fall weather and the thoughts of the holidays yet to come. Seeing two men argueing over who had to hold the bag this time.
"Come on! I had to hold the bag last time and you got the guts all over my arms! There is no way I am letting you do it again"
"But you know how much I hate to hold the bag, its just gross!"
Curiosity getting the better of the white haired light as he drew closer he could not help but peek over to see what the fight was about...and promptly wish he had minded his own bussines at seeing the mangled heap of what he thought was most likely a cat at one time. Continueing on his way hoping to get such a horrid sight out of his mind he was stopped dead in his tracks at the next thing the two men said.
"Hey..is it moving?
"No way..your seeing things! There is no way possible that thing could still be alive!"
"No..seriously...LOOK..see..movement."
"That isn't the cat moving..its something moving under it"
That being said the man with the stronger stomach then reached down to move the dead animal and see what lay beneath.
"Aw man..it had a kitten! what kind of sick person hits an animal carring it's baby?!"
"Great..just great! It barely even has its eyes open, what are we supposed to do with this thing?!"
"I guess we take it by the pound, I mean what else can we do?"
"Gee, and that is so much better. I was hoping to actually get off work on time today"
Standing there listening to the two men argue about this helpless life form tore at the tender strings of the tenshi's heart.
"That poor thing, barely old enough to crawl and already so lost in this world." feeling the pang of loss himself remembering his mother and sister.
"They loved cats, mom always had one. Bakura hasn't beaten me in weeks..he has calmed down so much since he hasn't been drinking as much. The house is big and always feels so empty when Bakura isn't there. What damage could one little cat do? I mean, Bakura might actually like it..weren't cats worshiped back in Egypt?"
All of these rationalities ran quickly through his head. But what it really boiled down to...Ryou wanted a pet..wanted a cat and here it seemed as if the perfect chance had fallen right into his lap. So gathering his courage, being the soft spoken boy he was, approaching the two rather large men was something he had to set his mind to. Ryou turned back and quietly walked up to said men.
"Excuse me, sirs?"
Both men turned quickly not being used to having someone address them in such a way and quickly took in the sight of the delicate looking young man before them.
"Something you need boy?"
Swallowing the now present lump in his throat Ryou looked up at the men to speak.
"Yes, I could not help but hear your conversation on the poor kitten you have found. I was wondering if perhaps rather than taking it to the pound where too many animals already seek homes maybe I could have it?"
Both men looked at him in surprise. Was this kid for real? Wanting a little kitten that would still need to be bottle fed?
"Look kid, I don't have a problem with it. I mean you look like a nice enough kid and all but do you realize how much work it would be? This thing isn't even weened yet..it would have to be bottle fed and everything."
"Yes sir, I realize that. But if it goes to the pound then it would most likely not make it. There is a pet store across the street, I'm sure they would have the things required for it and perhaps a book or two on how to care for it. I would go over immeadiately and get them, I would take very good care of the kitten, I promise!"
Looking into Ryou's innocent doe-like eyes beining to well with tears at the thought that perhaps these men would not give him the kitten the larger of the two buckled and handed over the cat.
"If your sure kid..I mean..its your money and time. Hope you do know what you are getting yourself into. Good luck."
With that Ryou's face lit up as he cuddled the small slightly chilled kitten to his chest cooing softly to it.
"Thank you so much!"
He then bowed to both men and almost skipping hurried to the crosswalk and across the street. Being good to his word he did go into said pet shop and purchase all items needed for the new life in his care. Both men watched as he went on his way, the biggest smile the world had ever seen plastered to his face and pure joy radiating from the pale boy's eyes before turning back to their work.
"Okay now you hold the bag."
"NO way! I already said its your turn to hold the bag!"
Working on the next chapter already but thought I would post this and see how it goes. BTW..if there is someone out there willing/wanting to beta my stories for spelling mistakes then please let me know..
