Haruka Nanami sat on a bench in front of his Dad's store, a car rental and parts shop. Her mother and father were divorced a few years back, her mother took the house and her father took the store and her. It was run down looking with a huge parking lot in front of it. She was the only employee at the time, since they were poor.

"Haruka! Get to work!" Her father shouted from inside of the shop.

"Hie!" She shouted back, attending to a customer whose air conditioner was broken. Haruka had been working at this car place since she was seven years old, yet she was still was terrible with fixing the ac. Like anyone who wouldn't give it a try, she went inside to get her father, who was much more handy with everything cars. When she walked in she spotted a boy with messy red hair talking to her dad. He was young and think, still with a little baby fat on his face. He looked around her age with a white shirt and blue jeans, a red jacket tied around his waist securely.

"Please, I'm good with parts! I just need a temporary job! I'll sleep in the garbage!" He offered, pleading to Haruka's father. Haruka watched in on the conversation, in no rush to be yelled at by her father for not tending to the customers.

"No can do, we have little money as is." He answered, his red eyes slotted and his black hair sticking to his face. He was wearing a white shirt with a few oil stains on it and black pants with a brown belt. He was extinguishing a cigaret in a small bowl, annoyance written clear on his face.

"Meow~" Haruka looked down to see a furry, black cat, purring against her leg. His fur was fluffy and shined, despite the heat and his tail twitched with a purr.

"Good morning, Kupperu~" Haruka said sweetly, picking the small black cat up. She patted it on the head as she listened to the two men talk, Kupperu listening as well, almost looking like he was frowning..

"Oi, what are you doing?" Her father hissed at her, causing her to flinch a little, causing a small rumble to come out of Kupperu's throat. "Get to work!"

"There is a customer that needs their AC fixed." Haruka informed, gathering her courage.

"Fine, I'll be right out. No help at all." Her father yelled, muttering the last part.

"I could do that!" The boy offered, still trying for the job.

"No means no!" Her father hissed, slamming his fist on his desk, causing the boy to flinch back a little, slightly uncomfortable knowing that the man was angry, but held his ground. Suddenly Kupperu jumped out of Haruka's arms, rushed over to the boy, his little paws thumping on the ground. He purred against his leg as loudly as he could manage. The boy looked down and smiled, picking him up and letting him lick his face, calming down a little more.

"Sir, lets try him out. Kupperu likes him!" Haruka said.

"So what if the cat likes him!?" Her father argued.

"Remember that customer last week, the one Kupperu hissed at before you kicked Kupperu out?" Haruka said.

"Mean cat." The boy cooed, petting Kupperu under the chin.

"The customer then proceeded to rob us." Haruka finished, causing the red head to look up for a minute, beginning to praise the cat. "Maybe this boy is a good luck charm."

"Yeah, please!" The boy begged. Haruka's dad thought for a second, mumbling angrily under his breath.

"If you fix that AC you're in, but if not, you're out." Haruka's father said. The boy jumped up, excited. Haruka lead him to the broken car and he got to work. He looked at the car, asking what the problem was, how old it was, exedra. He fiddled around with the unit, pulling old things out and putting in new thing. Soon he snapped the lid shut, smiling.

"It should work well now." He smiled. Suddenly Kupperu jumped on the car and licked the boy's face.

"I guess you'll get the job." Haruka smiled.

"Yeah!" He cheered, jumping up.

"I'm Haruka Nanami, what's your name?" Haruka asked, smiling kindly at the red head.

"Oh, me?" He asked, turning around to face Haruka, smiling. "My name is Otoya Ittoki!"
