The Inventor's Neko

[Mari_Rose]

There was a man who left school at a young age to Persue inventing an engineering. He was a bright man but strange all the same. He lived in a world with a strange population of creatures, nekos. Humans with cat like tendencies and tails and ears. Though they grow and behave like humans they are different. They lived together as somewhat equals but those nekos who lived in poverty often found themselves being taken from the homes they can't afford.


This inventors older brother, a wealthy man who owns several businesses, is detirmined to get his brother one of these creatures. After all it's become the latest fad.

(I don't think there is a science behind it... xD I just feel as when 'Neko' is involved I got to use Japanese names xD )

 

[Mari_Rose]

(Ah, ok then. Do you want me to start?)

 

[CrystalTears]

(Sure, go right ahead :3)

 

[Mari_Rose]

Yutou's car pulled into the driveway of his brother's house and lab. They were two completely different people but they didn't hate each other. His business's were very successful and he would find himself spending his money on lavish parties. Always he would try to invite his brother, just to get him out of the house and be social but countless times he's been turned down. Now he had an offer his brother couldn't refuse, at least something to make him the least bit normal. He pulled a girl with a tail behind him on a leash as he walked to the front door. After he rang the bell he put on a small smile and fixed his suit,the girl stood quietly behind him shaking just a little.

 

[CrystalTears]

Iktsuki was busy working on a new experiment as the door bell rang. He cursed under his breath as he had to put on a pause, he could at least go and answer his own door. "If he's inviting me for the second time, then I'll honestly tell him to get a life," He muttered to himself taking off his normal white coat. He ran down the stairs, as his office was the entire second floor, and walked over to the door. Fixing his tie, and opened the door to find his brother, Yutou, standing on the other side of the door. "I am not going," He said immediately, not even waiting for his brother to talk, but he did not close the door on him as he was happy to see his brother, just not when he was working.

 

[Mari_Rose]

Yutou chuckled as brother jumped to conclusions, he must admit he invited him often, maybe more often then not "no no, for once I'm not here for that. Although I guess I'm here for something like that" he smirked "all of these turn downs has got me thinking, why not bring it all to you?" With a nod he jerked at the leash as the girl stumbled forward "Ta dah!" He said with a big smile "they're like pets, but talk and stuff, everyone has one"

 

[CrystalTears]

"Really? I sort of doubt that..." Itsuki said and looked over at his brother, examining him with his eyes. He looked behind him as Yutou jerked forward the girl, making her stumble. Yutou had successfully caught his interest as he looked at the "pet" as he had called it himself. It had the shape of a human, but tail and ears of a cat. It looked quite cute to be honest, but experiments were experiments, and subjects were subjects. He had in fact seen some of these "pets" walk among people in the streets, but only among richer people, like his brother. "You're kiddin' right?" Itsuki asked, looking down at the girl again before facing his brother.

 

[Mari_Rose]

"You know I don't kid. I have one myself, practically does anything I tell it too" Yutou shook his head "now just say yes and take her, I spent good money on her so there's no saying no" he held out her leash for him to take "if you don't take it I'll keep inviting you to parties" a smirk appeared in his face knowing that was an offer he couldn't refuse

 

[CrystalTears]

That sly idiot... Itsuki thought to himself as he grabbed the leash and looked at the girl on the other end. It felt weird to walk around with a person in a leash, but there was no helping it now, now was it? "As long as you don't invite me anymore. Or ring my door bell before calling me, or don't invite me to anything at all for as a matter of fact," Itsuki said with a small sigh as he looked at the girl again. "I suppose you'll be in my care then," He muttered as he turned to his brother and gave him a small smile. "Talk to you later Yutou," He said before he closed the door after him, waving his brother bye.

 

[Mari_Rose]

With a salute Yutou headed back to his car to go back to his mansion. In the meantime the girl that stood before itsuki but didn't make eye contact. She had her hands and arms at her sides afraid to even move. Her ears were pressed against her head and her tail flicked around nervously. The clothes she wore weren't really close, it was some sort of dress but looked more like a sack with rope tied around it. It was hard decision, but her family had to sell her, it was the fate of a poor neko and she had to accept it no matter how scared she was.

 

[CrystalTears]

Itsuki sighed as he looked at the scared girl, as he stopped in the hallway and squatted down to reach the level of her eyes. "Hey, don't be so scared. We're not going to do anything scary here, promise. Now, your name. What is it?" He asked, trying to reassure the girl that he wasn't going to beat her or anything, a few experiments maybe, but nothing too dangerous. He wasn't one of those scientists after all. He looked at the girl's clothing, it looked like something someone had put together in a hurry. Another sigh escaped his mouth. "We better get you something more appropriate to were huh?" Itsuki muttered to himself as he was still holding her leash, but he wasn't sure how necessary it was.

 

[Mari_Rose]

Her eyes met his as he talked. Her name... He wanted to know her name.. But did that really matter? Her name could be whatever he wanted it to be, technically he owned her now. She hesitated a little bit trying to find her voice so she didn't make a fool of herself, she was scolded on the way here by the man who bought her for simply asking where they were going. "K-Korina... Is my name" she said quietly her ears relaxing a little bit as he spoke "I apologize... If my -attire isn't to your liking s-sir.."

 

[CrystalTears]

Itsuki looked at her a bit questionable, had his brother done something to her on her way here? Or was this how they usually acted. He sighed again, as he looked at his clock. They got time to go into town, and get her some proper clothes. She couldn't walk around in... whatever sack she was wearing. "Very well then Korina, let us go to town. We need to find some clothes that will look better on you," Itsuki said as he opened the door and walked over to his car, happy that his brother had at the very least left, and kept his part of the deal so far.

 

[Mari_Rose]

Korina bit her lip and followed after him, she stood politely behind him as he got into the car. When he was in she got in and sat down she gently laid her tail on her lap and fiddled with it. As they drove she kept her attention to the window and the outside. Her ears twitched lightly moving around trying to catch the sounds of the streets but still trying to listen incase her new master said anything.

 

[CrystalTears]

"Okay, so... We need some basic rules okay? I don't like being disturbed during the night. I suppose you can help me in my office, and do basic chores around the house that should work just fine. I can show you around, and I'll give a room you can sleep in. Don't go outside without my permission, and you may leave the house alone, but know we live far away from the town. You won't make it there on your own, so running away is a dumb idea," Itsuki said to her, as he watched her in the rear window, she seemed a bit distracted, but he thought that it was a good idea to sum up the rules. "You may speak before being spoken to, but only to me. If I get visitors, don't bother us until I ask you to do something," Itsuki added, as he searched his head for more rules, but that was the one he could think of on top of his head.

 

[Mari_Rose]

As soon as she heard talking she pointed her ears toward him to listen even though she didn't look at him. The rules he laid out for her were expected, the rumors she's heard about Nekos in this kind of service gave her a little expectations of what was going to happen. The thing she feared was getting him angry, at that point everything would be unpredictable. When she heard silence she looked forward and into the rear view mirror where she saw his eyes. She bowed her head in acknowledgment "yes sir" she looked back up "would you like me doing any cooking?"

 

[CrystalTears]

"Wait you can cook too? What kind of pet can cook? Sure, you can cook our meals. That sounds fine. Plus, don't call me sir. The name's Itsuki, not sir, not master. Itsuki," Itsuki said as the title "sir" didn't fit him at all. It was like being on one of those fancy parties with his brother, where every guy was a "sir" and every woman a "miss". It just felt dumb. They stopped as he parked the car by a nearby clothing store. He took off Korina's leash and left it in the car, it was still weird walking around with that in his hands. "Let's go then," He said and exited the car before he went into the clothing store.

 

[Mari_Rose]

Korina bit her lip hearing the word pet, her mother had taught her to cook expecting her to serve a human in the future, isn't this what neko servants usually do? She didn't expect it to be such a surprise to him. She watched as he removed the leash a little sigh of relief that it was finally off. She stepped t if the car folding her arms around her waist and looking at the store they came up to. She found herself staring a little too long when itsuki went in to the store. She had to run a little bit to catch up with him. Now her attention was brought to the clothes, never before has she seen such clean clothing, especially not that many. But she was careful jot to touch anything noticing the store keeper eying her.

 

[CrystalTears]

"Let's see... I've honestly never bought clothes for your kind before, don't take it the hard way. You see anything you like? Pick anything you want, and pick more than just one thing. We might need some formal clothing for you as well, in case some buyers come and visit," Itsuki said to her as he looked around for some clothes that might suit her, but he honestly didn't know what she might like, or what she wanted to wear. Anything that wasn't the sack she was wearing had to be better at the very least. He saw the store keeper eyeing down Korina and sighed. "Hey, you got nothing better to do than staring at her? Jeez..." He said there was a reason why he kept to himself in his own house after all.

 

[Mari_Rose]

Korina was a little surprised he stood up for her, a lot of new things were happening to her today. When he told her she could pick things out she started to look around pulling out a few things that peaked her interest, maybe she went a little too over board. It wasn't like they wore specialized clothes, just what any other human would wear. She turned to him holding an armful of clothes her ears perked up and her tail swishing, the first sign of a little bit of happiness she's felt all day.
