Volume 2 Chapter 46 - The Loli
Yoruichi\'s mouth twitched at the girl\'s action and said, "Settle down little girl. I won\'t eat you. And I\'m talking to Kisuke. An important matter came up."
"Are you a familiar? What important matter sprang up?" Sona was also shocked but recovered easily as she already saw more amazing things than this. A talking familiar isn\'t exactly rare.
"Kaichou!? What are you thinking, taking this so lightly? That\'s a talking cat you know!" Aika\'s hug on Kisuke subconsciously tightened.
"Aika-chan, for now, please get off me. You\'re strangling me." Kisuke finally voiced out his concern, and Aika finally realized what she is doing. She blushed and move to the back of Kisuke, still not letting him go.
Yoruichi ignored Aika for now and said to Kisuke after noticing the slight fluctuation on the array under their feet, "You\'re ready?"
"Yes," Kisuke replied and switch back his attention on the stalking last boss, \'It\'s not doing anything? On the contrary, it seems curious? What is this all about? It already noticed me noticing her so I can\'t pretend that she didn\'t exist. I wonder why is it giving me a child-like vibe? Is it the same age as her appearance say? And what the heck is that outfit?… Yoruichi is here, and I can hold it back for a few seconds, the teleportation array will activate and teleport everyone here in just one second. I won\'t teleport everyone yet as it may agitate but I could take the risk.\'
Kisuke finished his train of thought and said to the two guests with a serious expression, "Please move to the dining table for a moment."
"What is happening?" Aika is understandably confused and Sona, after thinking for a while, trusted Kisuke on this one because of the feeling he is giving her now. It is different from the usual casual and somewhat lethargic demeanor he has. It\'s as if he is a soldier, ready to fight to the death with his opponents, "Kiryuu-san, let\'s follow him for now." Aika nodded after being quiet for a few seconds as this time, she can also see and feel Kisuke\'s seriousness which is the first time she witnesses. They then move to the dining table taking a seat.
"Mom, Koneko-chan!" Kisuke called out to the two who are in the kitchen without standing up from his position.
Koneko first came out and Sakura followed, "What is it? Did something happened?" She can tell the serious voice of her son and ask with concern. Koneko, due to being trained by Yoruichi, was finally able to feel that something outside is lurking, and a very strong one. She then tightened her fist awaiting for Kisuke instruction.
"Mom, please make another portion of the dinner… No, actually, make three more portions." Kisuke told to her mom making her confused.
He then faced Koneko and said, "Koneko-chan, please be prepared to protect mom." Sakura is even more confused now from her son\'s words. It\'s also the same for the two ladies sitting on the dining table, \'Protect?\'
This startled all three of them. Aika couldn\'t help but shout, "Cat ears and tails!? What\'s going on!? Am I actually dreaming!?"
Sona asked in a more composed tone, "Is it so serious that you have to reveal it to a normal human, like Aika and your mother?"
Sakura looked at Koneko\'s transformation and then switched her gaze towards his son with a serious look, "Three servings, right? Got it. I\'ll also whip up some delicious side dishes." She then turned around trusting Kisuke. Koneko followed her back to the kitchen, still intending to help out.
Aika faced Sona as she was also confused by her words, "Wait, a normal human like me?" But Sona just looked at her and smiled reassuring her, "Don\'t worry about it for now. Let\'s just see what\'s going to happen for Kisuke to make such decisions." \'But what a surprise. I thought Toujou-san has some sort of trauma regarding her heritage, but to show it so decisively, Rias probably don\'t know anything about this.\'
At the kitchen, Sakura is focusing on her task to make more additional food, while Koneko is fidgeting and stealing glances to her from time to time, "What is it, Koneko-chan?"
"U-Uhm, I\'m sorry for hiding this from you. I didn\'t mean any harm to you and Kisuke-senpai." Koneko faced her and bowed 90 degrees. She is quite nervous about how Sakura will react to her \'monster\' form, as this sort of appearance can scare humans pretty easily. She didn\'t want Sakura to hate her because she already thinks of her as her mother."
A few seconds, which felt like a few hours for Koneko, has passed and Sakura is still looking at her silently. She was about to cry when a soft gentle hand stroked her head. She looked up and saw Sakura smiling gently at her, "I know, but I want to hear more about it later."
Koneko couldn\'t help but let her tears flow down. She jumped into Sakura\'s arm and snuggled herself into her bosom while sniffling, "I\'m sorry, Thank you."
Sakura hugged her back and stroked her head for a bit and thought, \'What happened to her? She\'s craving for some warmth? Oh well, I don\'t mind having a daughter.\'
"Koneko-chan, let\'s continue cooking. Kisuke looks like he really needs this." Sakura separated from her and said.
Koneko rubbed her eyes to wipe away her tears and Sakura helped her with that, "Okay." She went back to her somewhat deadpan expression, but it\'s obvious to Sakura that she got something off her shoulder and became a lot cheerful. \'Cute!\'
------------
"Yoruichi, please make sure that those four are safe." Kisuke smiled at Yoruichi and said.
"Haah… Fine, but whatever you\'re planning, prioritize your safety." Yoruichi sighed and jumped to the dining table startling Aika again who is sitting on the side, "If this was a normal situation, I would be satisfied at your reaction."
\'A talking cat can\'t be found in any normal situation at all! But he felt satisfied when people react to him talking? Should I say, like master, like cat?\' Aika retorted in her mind, but she isn\'t as scared as the first time.
"Can you tell me what\'s going on?" Sona, who is with them, can\'t help but ask. She wants to analyze the situation but there are too little context clues.
"We\'ve got another visitor this evening, Devil girl. And you better not use any magic, your safety is already assured anyway." Yoruichi replied to her. But Aika\'s mind became even more muddled, \'Devil? Magic? Is the cat sick in the head?\'
Kisuke ignored the trio and finalized his plans, \'Okay, three escape routes secured in case a battle broke out. She\'s still staring straight here but seems to have any intention to make a move. I have to use this chance to get what she wants or every time she stalks us, we would be panicking like this.\' Kisuke took a deep breath.
Yoruichi saw this and warned the two, "No matter what you see or happen don\'t say anything." The two were confused but before they could ask, Kisuke spoke loudly.
"Good evening, Miss. Since you\'re already here, why don\'t you join me for a cup of tea?" When Kisuke said this, a young girl suddenly appeared in front of him with a small smile on her face.
\'What!!!?\' Aika retorted in her mind again while remembering Yoruichi\'s warning. Sona, on the other hand, furrowed her brows at this sight, \'Urahara picked up her presence but I did not? And who is she?\'
It is a cute young girl with long black hair down to her hips and black eyes. Her ears differ from a normal human\'s as they have pointed tips, although her long black hair makes this feature difficult to notice. Her dark grey eyes have reptilian slitted pupils.
Her attire consists of a black Gothic Lolita fashion and exposed front, with her nipples only being covered by cross-shaped black tape.
\'That is some extreme outfit.\' Everyone who is looking thought.
"Why don\'t you sit down first? I\'ll prepare some cookies." Kisuke gathered his bearings and offered with a big smile on his face.
\'Kisuke! I know she looks like a little girl, but her aura is far from that! What are you going to do if she starts rampaging because you treated her like a little girl!?\' Yoruichi shouted in her mind wanting to do facepalm but stopped herself as she wants to see what would happen next.
The little girl with an outrageous outfit tilted her head for a while and move to Kisuke\'s opposite and sat down like she was told.
Kisuke then generated a green magic circle to his front and his right hand went in. From outside\'s perspective, it looks like his hand was cut from the elbow down. At this sight, Aika finally stopped thinking altogether to preserve her sanity.
