Cosplaying as Gojo the Cat, But Playing Volleyball at Nekoma!

[It's been months, and there's still no new Kenma ship fic. I've decided to fend for myself and keep creating content for Nekoma (fist pump)]

Furuori Rin is a stray cat with white fur and blue eyes who lives near a convention center. Anime fans often cosplay him as Gojo Kitty.

One day, he really transmigrates!

The Volleyball God says, "I can give you a human identity so you won't have to be a stray anymore, but you must reach the pinnacle of world volleyball."

Furuori Rin's DNA awakens: Playing with balls is what I'm best at!

In the end, the high school Rin drew was Inarizaki.

But the Volleyball God overlooked one thing: cats are illiterate and can't read street signs!

The handsome white-haired, blue-eyed boy stepped off the Shinkansen and asked a kind-looking passerby at random, "Excuse me, where is Inarizaki?"

The kind stranger, whose hair looked like caramel pudding, said, "Inarizaki is in Kansai. This is Tokyo."

Furuori Rin: T-Tokyo?!

The little white cat clutched his head and shrieked: I went completely the wrong way!

Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. From today on, he was a City Cat.

But how was a little cat supposed to survive in human society?

Furuori Rin thought of a genius solution: act cool!

If everyone thought he was someone not to mess with, no one would bully him.

And now, please welcome his first victims: every member of the Nekoma Volleyball Club.

It took the members of Nekoma's volleyball club just half a day to memorize the new guy's name: Furuori Rin.

He knew nothing about volleyball, yet his club application said, "I'm going to become the world's number one outside hitter!"

On his very first day at the club, he showed astonishing disrespect to their beloved setter and said, "Pudding Head, I'm going to be your ace."

He watched footage of Nekoma's recent loss at the IH tournament and said calmly, "Once I get on the court, they'll be the losers."

He was so cocky. Way too cocky.

But... he really did have the talent to back it up!

Furuori Rin could jump high, had incredible flexibility, and could perform all kinds of gravity-defying, inhuman moves. He also had superb hang time and dynamic vision, almost like a real cat.

Who else could clearly see every move the other side made while hanging in midair during every single spike?

Everyone both loved and hated him. They loved his outstanding talent and skill, but worried that his mouth, which seemed not to know the meaning of humility, would get him into trouble.

But before long, this little spitfire had become completely obedient to them.

The two of them were just like an owner and a cat. No matter how fierce and unruly the cat was outside, it would still obediently listen to its owner.

Kenma: Be polite.

Rin: Okay, Kenma-senpai.

Kenma: Don't argue with people.

Rin: Okay, Kenma-senpai.

Kenma: Talk to fewer strangers.

Rin: Okay, Kenma-senpai.

Kenma: I like you.

Rin: Okay, Kenma-senpai!!!

Kozume Kenma had never been good with animals.

But now he was struggling to figure out how to get along with one.

Because the person he liked was a real cat.

*

Everyone knew that Nekoma had a new regular player, and that he was on good terms with the aces of all the major high schools.

But the new guy looked so delicate and frail that he seemed more like a pretty team manager than a player.

A reporter asked the star players from various high schools what they thought of him.

Ushijima: He's a bit of a lovesick fool.

Meaning he refused to transfer to Shiratorizawa for Kenma's sake.

Bokuto: HeyHeyHey! He's terrifying, in a good way!

Meaning his serves and spikes are way, way, way above the norm.

Sakusa: Scary. Not what he seems.

Meaning he's beautiful, but dares to catch mice and bugs, and his personality is outrageously bold.

Miya Atsumu: Heartbreaker!

Meaning he used to be our little fox, but someone stole him right out from under us.

The reporter gave an awkward laugh. "Well... those don't exactly sound like compliments, haha."

At last, the reporter interviewed Nekoma's volleyball club captain.

Kuroo smiled mysteriously. "He's our ace."

On the court, Rin's brutal spike smashed through an iron wall, shaking heaven and earth. His unbelievable receiving poses, like something out of rhythmic gymnastics, made everyone remember the outside hitter from Nekoma.

That spike called "Purple" would break your hands if you tried to receive it!!!

You jump that high? Are you a bird???

Could a human really pull off that full-split receive called "Blue"?

Why does "analyzing the other team's information" even have its own special move called "Six Eyes"?

And also

How could someone say "Domain Expansion" and then actually evolve right there on the spot?!

What kind of monster was Nekoma's new ace?!

Little skit:

Teenage Gojo goes out wandering with his two classmates.

Shoko suddenly says, "That cat looks kind of like you."

Teenage Gojo: I refuse to be cat-coded.

Teenage Geto: It's true. That cat has white hair, blue eyes, and suspicious little sunglasses.

Teenage Gojo: ???

Not long after.

Shoko says again, "That boy looks kind of like you."

Teenage Gojo: Does everyone look like me? Is Gojo Satoru really that common?

Teenage Geto: Seriously. That boy has white hair, blue eyes, and little sunglasses that make him look blind.

Teenage Gojo: What?!

Later.

Gojo is out on the street when someone asks him, "Are you Nekoma's ace outside hitter who won the national championship?!"

Gojo looks proud. "That's right, it's me! I'll graciously give you an autograph~"

1. This isn't superpowered volleyball, and Rin doesn't look like Gojo. The moves are just names for techniques. Aside from his strength, he relies on a cat's natural physical abilities. Kitty is very dedicated to role-playing

2. Pairing: Kenma. A socially anxious, clever cat x a straightforward, bold cat. The focus is competitive sports, with everyday life and romance, plus lots of couple cuddles.

3. Kitty is everyone's darling. Who doesn't love a little cat!

3. The idea came from wanting to see Gojo Kitty and the real Gojo together. This blurb was written at the same time as the story about the real Gojo, and I was choosing between the two at first, so some settings may overlap. I'll revise them later.

Theme: You need a full stomach to get things done
