Back to Basics

Kuroo's POV

"Hello Kuroo. Can I assume you being here means Kenma and your plan is out??" Daichi asked when I walked into the police station. I nodded and showed him my phone and the video I took of Shizusumi taking Kenma.

"You have the warrant right?"

"Yeah."

"Then what are we waiting for?" I asked as Daichi handed me my phone back. He sighed and grabbed a file as I followed him outside of the station. We both got into his car as he started for the address.

"Hey, Daichi?"

"Yeah?"

"So... Why are you helping me.. you can get into a lot of trouble over this." 

"My husband was abducted a few years ago. When we found him, he wasn't the same.. he still isn't... And I don't want this happening to anyone else."

"Oh.. I'm... I'm so sorry." 

"It's alright.. I'm quite surprised Kenma was so willing to go on with this plan."

"He told me that Shizusumi didn't hurt him. So maybe that's why. But.. I hope he's alright."

"How long ago did you drop him off?"

"It's been a few hours by now." 

"Well, hopefully nothing could have happened in such a short time." Daichi said. I nodded in agreement with a sigh as I looked out the window. I guess it'd be "easier" to have just kept Kenma away from Shizusumi, but, I don't have the money to really move and there's no guarantee for work anywhere else. 

Besides, this way, a weirdo will be out of the way. I don't get why he was so interested in Kenma, but no one should be kidnapped. It's just, crazy people like that exist. Well, once we get Kenma back, hopefully he and I will be left alone.

Mini Time Skip

I stayed in the car, watching Daichi walk up to the door of Shizusumi's address. The door opened and I saw Shizusumi open the door, looking a bit confused, but since Daichi had a search warrant, he was allowed in since I reported someone missing last seen with Shizusumi.

I crossed my arms and just watched silently. I felt like it was taking a while, but soon, I saw Daichi walk back out with Shizusumi. Shizusumi glanced at me, grinning as he was put into the back seat of the police car. Daichi locked the door and went back into the house.

"You're the cat guy." Shizusumi said with a chuckle.

"Uh huh. And you're the lunatic who was kidnapping people who look like your fiance."

"How interesting you think of it that way."

"Well it's the truth. You've noticed something, particular, about Kenma, huh?"

"Oh I've known about that." Shizusumi said with a laugh. I looked at him in the rearview mirror before sighing.

"You don't seem surprised."

"Of course not. I'm the one who did it." Shizusumi flat out said. I widened my eyes slightly before turning around and facing.

"Well how do I undo it." I said, Shizusumi just leaned back in the seat with a hum. I scowled at him until the door opened again and Daichi was standing there with Kenma. Kenma smiled faintly at me and climbed into my lap. I held onto him as Daichi got into the drivers side.

"You know this isn't a safe way to drive." He said with a small laugh, starting the car and taking us all back to the police station. 

Kenma's POV

I was happy I was back with Kuroo.. But one thing was bothering me. I didn't have anything hiding my tail or ears. And... Everyone was looking at me and taking pictures. 

"Are you okay kitten?" Kuroo asked when we got out of the car. I held onto him, trying to tuck my tail down between my legs and flatten my ears. He looked around and noticed people staring before taking his jacket off and putting it around me and putting the hood up.

We walked inside the building, Shizusumi walking off with a small grin with Daichi. Kuroo had to fill out some papers and talk to Daichi after he returned, but then, we got to go home. 

When we returned, I climbed on top of Kuroo. He tilted his head and patted my lower back. I was starting to feel weird about my ears and tail. At first, I didn't really care... But the way everyone just kept staring. And, Shizusumi told me that it made me different.

Even Kuroo has told me that. What if different is bad? What if Kuroo starts thinking it's weird too? I don't know if he'd kick me out or anything, but what if he starts acting weird around me too. 

"Kenma?"

"Uh huh..?"

"Are you alright..?"

"...Uh huh."

"You can tell me if something is wrong." 

"...Do you super promise to not get mad?"

"Yes, I super promise to not get mad." 

"Are my ears and tail bad?"

"What? No." 

"But, you told me that they aren't normal." I muttered with a small huff. Kuroo frowned slightly and put his arms around me with a sigh.

"Oh kitten. Listen, I'll be honest... I have no idea how to get rid of your ears or your tail. So... we're stuck with them."

"But, they make me not normal."

"You've been not normal since I met you." Kuroo said with a small laugh. I pouted at him, causing him to gently pet my head.

"Sorry, I didn't mean that in a bad way Kenma. I just mean, it's part of you now. And.. I love it." Kuroo said with a smile. I looked at him wide-eyed.

"You do?"

"Yes. I love them. And I love you."
