A/N: Hope you guys enjoy as I have lately been inspired to write this. Some sort of Ayushiki fluff, but in a weird way. I don't exactly know, but I would like to continue this story. But, I don't know yet so...yeah. Sorry for the shitty first chapter, but oh well.

Disclaimer: I do not own Corpse Party or its characters.

It was midnight on a Monday , as a short girl with long, messy pigtails stood in front of a mansion, as she desperately tried to find its trash can. She snuck into the front yard, as no one seemed to watch. The lights were all off, and she decided to walk inside the gates, since they were actually quite opened.

She tiptoed through the bushes, crawling through them as if she were a sneaky cat, waiting patiently for its mouse. That's how she earned her title of "Neko".

No one knew her origins. No one knew her last name. All they knew, was that a random baby girl was found out on the streets in a very poor neighborhood. Kind of like a strey mother cat would abandon her kitty somewhere, and then leave. However, everyone theorized that her mother died after giving birth, but no one knew for sure. As for the father, he must be somewhere.

A woman, Chinatso Nakata, took her in. Chinatso wasn't very creative in names, so as the baby started to walk, she named her Ayumi. Chinatso had a soft spot for Ayumi, but it was mostly shown through tough love. And, of course being poor and having a young girl by her side, had its perks.

She was named Ayumi, but often referred as Neko,(cat in japanese)

As soon as she reached the fence, she stood up. It was only half an inch taller than her. The owners must have thought that since the whole mansion was surrounded by gates, that they did not have to put much security on the inside. Ayumi smirked as she took pride in her nickname. Did they not know that Nekos could find a way through anything?

She sneaked a peek inside, and smirked even more when she saw the fancy, silver trash cans, waiting to be tackled down by her. She licked her lips at the satisfaction of being able to find food. Just as she was about to climb inside and claim her prize-

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Ayumi quickly fell onto the floor and crawled quickly into the bushes, as she layed down flat onto the ground. Through the leaves she could see the lights turning on as Ayumi cursed herself for getting carried away. Of course, they were rich, they could obviously afford alarm systems.

She could see the doors opening. A lady with a beige robe and light blue slippers walked out.

Ayumi frantically looked around, as she suddenly found a grey cat, looking at her in astonishment with its head tilted to the side.

Of course, Nekos could find a way through anything.

Ayumi hissed at the cat, as the cat suddenly jumped up and ran frantically.

The woman gasped. "It was just a cat, Isao!,".

"A cat! Mom, I want a cat,"

"Yoshiki, we already talked about this, now go back to bed,"

"Fine, mom,"

A blonde haired boy stood behind the woman, Ayumi assumed he must be around her age or older, based off his voice.

They soon left, and everything was dark and silent again.

Ayumi silently walked to the wooden fence again, as she soon realized that when she was climbing up, she had touched the wires which would have sent off the alarm. She mentally cursed herself for not noticing this. These owners were smart.

It would be difficult to go through, but not impossible.

She walked a few steps behind, and jumped over the fence, and kind of succeded. She had accidentally jumped on something, more like someone.

The sudden impact made them both roll around a second,as Ayumi gasped and took a step back.

"Ow,"

She suddenly realized the voice. It belonged to the young boy with the messy blonde hair. They both stood in front of each other in darkness.

"I thought you were aneko,"

Ayumi widened her eyes, as she covered his mouth. She felt quite nervous, she couldn't afford to get caught.

"Please, don't tell your parents. I just-I just want food from your trash can,"

Yoshiki stared at her, as he grabbed his flashlight and brought the light on her face. He was able to see her shiny blue eyes, and her long pigtails that ran across her shoulder, and up to her chest. She wore a dirty black tank top and faded jeans. She had bags under her eyes.

Not exactly a neko, but a small, tiny girl stood in front of him.

"How old are you? And who are you?," Yoshiki asked.

"I'm 9, and my name is Ayumi, but some people call me Neko as my last name. I don't really have a last name...," she explained as she squinted her eyes from the light.

"And, you go to school?,"

"No.."

Ayumi stared down at her lap with shame. She wanted to go to school. She wanted to learn. She wanted to have a mother and a father and an education. She craved a normal life, but life has been tough ever since she was born, and thrown into the middle of the street. She couldn't understand kids that hated school, because she would practically do anything to get in.

She was just that hungry girl in the street that hoped to recieve alms.

Yoshiki noticed at how upset she was, and blamed his curiosity. He guessed he needed to make up for it.

"How about...How about you can meet me at my school and I can give you something better than my trash can, can offer?,"

"Really? Where?,"

"At a school close by here. Kisagari Academy Elementary. After I get out of school, usually at 3,"

She smiled up at him. He smiled back at her.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright," he flashed her another bright smile as he left, and opened the door and closed it behind him.

He really did mean it.

She honestly, never believed in those words, until now.
