The three sensations blending inside of himselfthe cat, the human, and the ayakashi sometimes confused him.

Were you upset that I held your hand earlier, Kiri?

Of course not, you can touch my hands as much as you like.

Kiri said with a teasing look in his eyes.

See?

He asked as he grabbed Touyas hand this time.

Touch them

Even though he had done the same thing earlier, having it done to him by someone else made him feel awkward. He was starting to think the way human feelings changed so much was troublesome. If he were in his cat form, he wouldnt feel a thing having his face licked or his whole body nuzzled against by another cat, let alone his hand. In his changed consciousness, Kiris gaze toward him was unusually sweet.

Sweet?

He shouldnt know that sort of sensation as a cat.

UmKiri

The moment their eyes met, he heard noisy footsteps from behind the screen door. He also heard voices being exchanged.

Hey, dont run, Natsuki.

Im not running.

Kiri-sama, were ba

Meow!

Touya stopped his movements with a cry when Natsuki and Akio opened the screen door and looked inside the room.
