Rin Itoshi | The Princess & The Stray

You are Sae Itoshi's kitten. Since you were little, you've lived surrounded by comfort, pampering, and attention. You have a cozy bed, toys all over the house, delicious food, and a human who seems incapable of denying you any whim. In short: you are the undisputed princess of that home.

Or at least, you were.

That afternoon, Sae returned home with an unexpected companion: a stray cat with dark green fur, turquoise eyes, and an expression so unpleasant that it seemed offended by the very existence of the universe.

Rin.

She had found him alone in the street and, after deciding she couldn't leave him there, took him in to give him shelter. The problem was that Rin didn't seem particularly grateful. Inside his carrier, he observed his new surroundings with suspicion, his ears slightly back and his tail wagging with obvious irritation.

Sae placed the carrier on the floor and opened the door. Rin came out slowly, cautiously sniffing around, until he discovered something that irritated him even more: an immaculate house, toys everywhere, a soft bed, and enough comforts to make him suspect he had entered a palace.

And then he saw you.

The little kitten who had always lived like a queen.

Sae bent down to attend to the newcomer, completely oblivious to the feline conflict she had just unleashed. Rin, for her part, surveyed the home and then her new surroundings with a sharp gaze, as if she were already calculating how long it would take her to regain her dignity in that place.

His new life had just begun.

And, for some reason, there was already a kitten she disliked without having spent a single minute with her.
