Chapter 7: The Shrine

"I want to tell you that I'm a cat." Jennie spoke quietly. Jennie closed her eyes. She was sacred to see Lisa's reaction. What if she starts to hate her and never talk to her again? Will she able to handle that?

But then she heard the cutest giggle in the world.

"I already know that." Lisa said with a smile.

Jennie's eyes widen in shock. "H-How?" She asked.

Lisa laughed at Jennie's reaction. "I know you are cat because you are lazy like a cat and you got feline eyes."

Jennie awkwardly smiled. She don't know how to react to this.

"Y-Yeah haha, but I did not mean it like that." Jennie said.

Lisa tilted her head in confusion. "Then what is it?"

"I meant to say that I can transfo---" before Jennie can finish her sentence her phone rang loudly in the room.

She looked at the screen and saw that it was her mother. "Sorry I need to take this call." She said as she picked up her phone.

"Yes mom?.....yeah.....I'm at my friend's house, studying for exams......okay..... I'll be there...hmm...." Jennie looked at Lisa. "I have to go home. It's already late. My mom wants to return home now." She said.

"Ohh it's okay! We will continue our study tomorrow." Lisa said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Jennie nodded. Was this a sign that she should not tell Lisa about her secret now? Maybe it was.

After a few days of studying together, one day after the school got over Lisa invited Jennie to study together again as usual, but this time Jennie made an excuse. Lisa did not mind it. Jennie wanted to go but she remembered that it's been a while she became Nini and went to see Lisa. Yesterday while studying, Lisa talked about Nini again, she was very scared that something bad had happen to her baby Nini. So today Jennie decided to become Nini and visit Lisa so that Lisa would not worry about her anymore.

Lisa was studying like usual. She was very concentrated. Nini jumped up to the window and went to Lisa. Lisa saw the cat and immediately stopped writing. She picked up the cat.

"Nini!!! You are back!" Lisa exclaimed with a big smile on her face. She kissed the cat all over it face.

Jennie was blushing in her cat form.

"I thought something bad happened to you. Thank God you are okay!" Lisa smiled at the cat.

"You should have came yesterday! I want you to meet Jennie. We are studying together." Lisa spoke to the cat which made Jennie a bit nervous.

"Should I video call her so that she could see you?" Lisa said. Jennie immediately became scared. Is this the end? Is her secret going to be out like this?

"Let's call her." Lisa said as she picked up her phone. Nini immediately lashed onto her hand and scratched it. As a reflex Lisa dropped her phone.

"Nini! What happened???" Lisa said with a pout looking at her wound that Nini caused with her scratch.

Lisa picked up her phone from the floor. She tried to call again and this time again, Jennie hissed loudly. She tried to scratch Lisa's leg with her tiny paws again.

"Nini what's wrong??? Why are so moody today?" Lisa kept her phone aside and picked up Nini.

"What's wro-- yaahhh!!!!" Nini started to hit her face.

"Yah! Bad Nini!!! Why are you being like this? Are you hungry??? Wait I'm bringing you some food." She put Nini down and went to bring some food for the cat.

Jennie sighed in relief. Today she successfully stopped Lisa but this happened again, she don't know if she can stop Lisa again. She really need to tell the truth to Lisa as soon as possible.

Lisa and Jennie were walking to Lisa's apartment after school to study together. Jennie suddenly remembered about the shrine she went to. She wanted Lisa to see it. There were so many cats. She knows Lisa will love it there!

"Hey come this way!" Jennie took Lisa's wrist and started to go towards the shrine.

"W-Where are you taking me???" Lisa asked.

"Don't worry I'm not kidnapping you!" Jennie said with a laugh.

Lisa shrugged. "Who know?"

Jennie pouted.

Soon they reached the shrine. "This is an abandoned shrine I visited few weeks ago." Jennie spoke while walking inside the shrine gate.

"It's condition is pretty bad." Lisa said looking at the broken and dirty gate.

"Yeah but I know you will love it inside!" Jennie said with a knowing smirk. "This abandoned shrine is now the house of stray cats!" Jennie exclaimed with excitement as she showed Lisa around the shrine where some cats were sleeping, some were staring at them while some were busy on their own world.

Lisa's eyes literally turned into hearts when she saw the view. The place was filled with cats!

It's a cat heaven!!!

"Woah! Why didn't you tell me about this place before???" Lisa said as she walked towards a cat and started petting her.

"Ahh..." Jennie nervously scratched her head.

"Anyways, thank you for telling me about this place. I would like to come here often and feed them." Lisa said looking around the area covered with cats.

"Jennie smiled looking at Lisa's face. Her face showed so much happiness.

"I wonder Nini live here too." Lisa mumbled as she played with one of the cats.

Jennie froze in her place. "U-Uh, you think so?"

"Maybe I don't know. I don't see her around." Lisa said as she looked around the place to search for her favourite cat.

"Maybe she doesn't live here." Jennie said as she picked up a cat too.

"Thank you for dropping me off." Jennie smiled shyly at Lisa. They were currently standing outside Jennie's house. After an hour of playing with cats, they decided to call it a day. They postponed their study session to tomorrow.

"No! Thank you for showing me that wonderful place! I love cats the most!" Lisa smiled widely.

Jennie playfully pouted, "Love more than me?"

Lisa rolled her eyes, "Yes." She laughed.

"Who's there Jennie?" A voice of mature woman was heard.

Jennie turned around, "Mom!" Lisa got startled.

"Mom she is Lisa, m-my friend." Jennie introduced.

The woman came forward and looked at Lisa.

Lisa bowed her head. "Good Evening Mrs Kim, Nice to meet you."

"Hmm... I'm guessing you study in same class as Jennie?" Mrs Kim asked.

"Y-Yes ma'am." Lisa replied nervously.

"Hmm." Mrs Kim turned around. "Jennie why don't you invite your friend for dinner." She said as she walked away in the house.

Jennie smiled and turned to look at Lisa."Why don't you have dinner with us?" She asked.

"W-What?" Lisa gulped. "Dinner with your parents??? Isn't it too early?"

Jennie frowned. "What early? Come on! Eventually one day you have to come for dinner with my parents." Jennie winked at Lisa as she held her hands and dragged her in the house.
