"Don't bite me."

"Don't pet me like I'm some cat!"

Permalink

"Agreed."

Harumph. "You aren't particularly like Reiko, except in your strength and scent..."

Permalink

"I never knew her."

Permalink

"Did your family never speak of her, then?"

Permalink

"No."

"My parents died when I was young."

Permalink

"Ah." She's quiet for a long moment. "Human lives are so short..."

Permalink

"Mm."

Permalink

Hum. Then: "Say - are you her only grandchild?"

Permalink

"I am."

Permalink

Hum hum hum. "Have you heard of the Book of Friends?"

Permalink

"What's that?"

Permalink

"A book containing certain names - it was Reiko's most prized possession."

Permalink

"...Oh. That. There was a looseleaf binder with that name on the cover, but it doesn't have any names in it, just scribbles."

She huffs out a short laugh - and a massive gust of wind blinds Tsubaki for a moment -

And when it clears, the strange cat youkai is gone.

Somehow Tsubaki has a bad feeling about this.

She'd better get back to the house and check on her things.

Permalink

Fortunately, her things seem to have been left unmolested, and there's no sign of unwelcome visitors...

She starts digging through the box of her grandmother's things, looking for the Book of Friends.

Permalink

It's there, pretty much as she saw it last. 

Permalink

- And there's an odd feeling in the air behind her -

Permalink

She curls into herself, wrapping protectively around the book.

Permalink

And something large and dark passes over her head with a powerful gust of air, followed by a crash and the sound of a paper screen tearing.

Permalink

Oh, she's going to get in trouble for that.

Permalink

The dark blur resolves into a much smaller maneki-neko butt, apparently stuck in her wall and currently mad about that, going by the wiggling and muffled curses.
