Although she didn’t know he was there, he’d acted as her eyes and ears to make sure she remained unharmed until she composed herself. It was a memory he cherished, witnessing this woman’s pain that had only been meant for herself. Especially since it had been the middle of spring and she’d fallen onto her hands and knees in a sea of colourful flowers to scream and weep her grief.
He’d grown amused and interested in the sudden way she then buried her emotions and headed to the stronghold with her head held high. She’d stomped her feet the entire time he followed her until he couldn’t go any further.
He’d always admired that part of her; he’d seen her chin lifted superiorly many times.
She was even doing it now while she completed her task.
It seems she hasn’t changed.
Kitty leaned back against the tree trunk and crossed his arms behind his head to lean on them like a pillow. He winced when he overlapped his feline, paw-like feet and accidentally broke another stick. It was the second time now.
Mayumi perked her head up, but she only ever looked towards the horizon, never high up in the trees. He paused the swish of his long, black tail to avoid catching her attention, then let it finish its curl when she stopped searching.
Her senses are keener than before.The yellow of his orbs brightened in colour.Dangerous tiny thing.She had a stare that he thought could turn a Demon into flames with enough concentration.
He thought he would like to see a Demon suddenly combust – it’d be awfully hilarious.
Once she was done cutting, what he assumed was her firewood, she left to go inside.
That gave him time to himself. Kitty carefully climbed down from his perch and circled the entire house in a large radius so as not to be seen from the windows.
He made sure no Demons had crawled close by using the shadows to travel in the daytime. Even when he confirmed that there were none, he continued to walk on all fours in his most monstrous form while he thought.
He was double, no,triplechecking since his nose holes were currently plugged with dirt. He'd clogged his nose to snuff his ability to smell anything that would send him into a frenzy again, such as blood or the scent of fear.
Although Kitty didn’t plan to ever leave Mayumi’s side ever again – unless she went to the Demonslayer stronghold – he also didn’t intend to reveal himself.
I will be her guard until one of us dies.
It was anyone’s guess whether it would be her or him first.
Kitty lifted a hand to brush over the crack spanning the left side of his skull. The blue of sadness entered his vision as his heart shrivelled in his chest, but he eventually shook his head of any negative thoughts.
As long as I survive all her years, that is fine.
He hoped Mayumi would reach an old, frail state, but he was also sure she would soon go back to battle more Demons.
And he would be there waiting outside of her team’s notice to protect her. That or they’d discover him and finally have a Duskwalker kill under their great guild name.
He tried to let out a snort through his clogged feline nose hole.
I’d let them kill me so as not to harm her myself.
Part of him hoped it would be Mayumi that ended his life. She was the only human he deemed worthy to do so.
When she emerged from the house once more, Kitty was already back up in the same tree as earlier. It gave him the best vantage point of her home from above while also having a blanket of leaves to cover him from beneath so she couldn’t see him.
He watched her sweep her porch of the snow that had collected on it.
Although Kitty scratched at the irritating cloth covering his snout, agitated by both it and the dried mud in his nose, his orbs brightened again in their normal yellow hue.
I do hope she walks out naked tomorrow like she did today.Completely bared to the world, and unwittingly to him, she’d thrown herself in the snow.
Kitty had felt his cock tingle behind his seam at the glimpse he’d received the other day. And just like then, it gave him the same feeling now, his cock giving an enthusiastic jerk behind his seam. He had to suppress the urge to chuckle, especially since her eyes were suspicious as she looked at her surroundings.
This dangerous woman would be quicker to stab me in the seam than let me touch her.Still, Kitty didn’t mind his one-sided, dark fantasies.
He’d come here to protect her and nothing more.
