It was late at night, about 12:00 a.m. in the morning, your uncle was drunk and was on the couch yelling at you as always, you had bruises all the way up to your arms and legs, and you were starving, you didn't have an official name as your uncle always just called you "useless hairball" or "Girl" he would only call you girl if he was in a good mood which was very rare. You were so hungry that you accidentally turned into your cat form so you had to run out to the door before your uncle spotted you running out, your uncle wouldn't know since he was drunk and was basically passed out, you roamed the city streets in your cat form looking for food, you started running until you spotted a man on his porch, you sat and stared at him, the man had black clothing and a gray scarf around his neck, you slowly approached and started to sniff him. He didn't notice you at first, until you started getting really close, you looked at you and his eyes soft and a bit, he patted his leg to welcome you into his hold, you started to sniff him more and noticed that the man could be trusted because his scent felt calling to you, the man that picked you up and placed you into his house since he put cat food and water bowl in front of you, you sniffed it and then you trusted it as you were so hungry you couldn't really say no to the food, so you eagerly ate the cat food and drink the water, the man spotted bruises on your cat body, he said as he mumbled to himself "what an irrational cat" he's in sat down and looked at you, "you look like you've been through a lot, huh?" He said as he laid back. "Aiko, I'll call you Aiko." He said in a tired voice as he yawned, he looked at you as you were eating the food
