Hi~

Yes, I've been thinking about this a while.

This, and then a Romantica one.

For my purposes I will be using the term chibi neko person/etc., or little chibi neko person/etc. or tiny little kitty people/etc. or etc.

Some few girl friends crowded around in the courtyard, hovering over as they all tried talking to their fellow classmate.

Giggling, a dark, short haired one prodded her gently on the shoulder. "Show us!"

"Is it a boy?" One asks.

"No, it has to be a girl! Isn't it, Kohinata-san?" Another asks. Murmurs erupt even more.

"Quiet!" An says loudly, trying not to be annoyed. She had her hand in her school bag, stroking her new, trembling family member in assurance. "You're scaring him!" Whispers rose of the gender.

"You got a boy?!"

"What's his name?"

"Let us see him!"

"Guys, stop it!" An says, now annoyed. "You're scaring him!" She repeats, serious. "He's not used to so much people!"

Hearing the 'sorry's passing around, and most importantly, silence, she brings out her little friend.

With barely contained squeals, the girls hovering over watched with excited eyes as An brought out her little chibi neko person. Their were stories of soul mates associated with the tiny beings, who have popped up occasionally throughout the decades. No one knows were exactly they come from, and some countries consider them fairies. They lived almost as long as everyone else, keeping in mind accident rates.

He was a frightened little thing, shaking in her smooth palms, he fit right into her hands. In reality he was about An's age, and in a few years after growing a few centimeters, he will be fully grown, just like her- but just tiny.

His brown and sort of reddish hair was groomed and currently parted in the center, and his kitty ears were down in fear. He had green eyes that seemed to be a mix of avocado and dark olive and another green. His skin was about as fair as An's. To their added squeals of 'adorable' he was wearing dark pants and a light sweater the color of their school uniforms.

"This is Ritsu," An chirps happily, and Ritsu looks up at her before bowing politely and quickly to the other girls. His tail swished around, relaxed after finding the crowd no longer that intimidating.

"Aww, he's so cute!"

Ritsu mewled in response, before looking past them, more interested in the cherry blossoms floating around everywhere.

And that's when he noticed him.

A dark-haired chibi neko person lounging on a branch, looking bored with his brown and slightly amber eyes. He was wearing dark pants and a white dress shirt, much like the male students taking off their black uniform jacket. He batted his tiny hands about, lazily catching cherry blossom petals.

Cocking his head a little in curiosity, Ritsu then mewls out loudly, trying to get his attention.

Hearing a mewl in his direction, Masamune looked down at the crowd of girls before finally seeing Ritsu, who suddenly stiffed when he was caught.

Masamune then looked away, not interested in chatting with another chibi neko person. Especially sheltered, pure looking ones who seemed like he wouldn't last a minute in his shoes. His tail swished, irritated with such thoughts of his uncaring owners who fought constantly. They had found and picked him up as a baby kit thinking it was a good sign in their relationship.

Apparently not. Not that he cared.

"Eh, that's a stray." He hears a girl say to An, sitting on the bench with Ritsu. "He's been hanging around here causing all kinds of trouble." He rolls his eyes. All he did was linger in the library and outside, doing nothing destructive.

"You wouldn't want to be hanging around him, he looks dirty," another girl cooed to Ritsu, petting him affectionately. Masamune scoffs from his branch; really, the nerve of some people. They didn't know him, basing him only on assumptions from when he found the school a great place to hang around to get away from home.

Now he wished he had claws like an actual cat.

...

Being in the library brought calm to Masamune's nerve, immersing himself in a book open on a chair while he read from the table. If the book was up to his level, the words would become a little too big so this was a taxing solution to the reading problem. After finishing both pages he'd have to move from his comfortable position to turn the page and go back up.

Hearing a small mewl of greeting, he looked over in surprise seeing the green eyed chibi neko person, shyly approaching.

From the side of his vision he can see the other's owner, An, eyeing him warily before going off with her friend to another section of the library.

[I'm Ritsu!] Ritsu meowed quietly, feeling hopeful that he'd make a friend.

Masamune turns back to his book, contemplating. [Masamune.]

[What are you reading?] Ritsu asks shyly, moving a little closer, hesitant. [Can I read with you?]

[...Sure.]

At the end of the day, back on the guest bed at his owners' house, Masamune refused to believe that he actually enjoyed reading with the other chibi neko person.

The little flutter in his heart said otherwise though, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry; he didn't understand why he felt this way.

Don't worry, this fanfic will be only a few chapters. I'm sure of that.

What do you think? Any questions? I'm trying not to explain too much until later chapters...

To humans they mewl and meow a little like a cat but to each other they speak normally to each other. They can communicate with cats...

They can speak a little to the humans, it takes a long while though.
