Magical Pet

[~•~Ikuto's view~•~]

I was sitting in my living room, staring at the cat woman in front of me. She didn't seem dangerous. She didn't seem bad. But it was weird as fuck.

She followed with her eyes everything  I did. But she didn't move at all. The only thing she did move was the strange pink tail. It swayed back and forth slowly.

Maybe I should get her cloths first......, I thought sweat-dropping as I stood up and went to get her one of my old shirts. She almost jumped up as she saw me stand up. Almost as if she was afraid that I'd leave.

"Don't worry....I'm just getting you some cloths" I said. She sat down again, her ears went down, too. She seemed to be embarrassed.

I went and got her a shirt. She put it on and buttoned it up. Her tail still had free space to move around freely. It's the first time I worried about something like that.

I sat back down in front of her watching her carefully. Should I call someone in such a situation? My parents? A vet? News?

"This must be very confusing for you, master" she muttered quietly. I sweat-dropped. What's with this master crap? It's kinda adorable....but it's weird.

We continued sitting like this, starring at each other quietly. Non of us said a word about anything until her stomach growled. She blushed a little embarrassed as she avoided my gaze. I had picked her up a while ago but didn't feed her, yet.

Strange how I still think she's a cat even thought she's a human. Well, at least a half one.

"You're hungry?" I asked. She nodded a bit shily before following her in the kitchen. I made her a sandwich. She ate it slowly while keeping her eyes on me.

"Is something the matter master?" She asked. Again this master thing.

"Don't call me master, just  all me Ikuto" I said.

"As you wish mas-I mean Ikuto...." she said with a slight smile. It was cute. Especially with her slightly flushed cheeks.

"Do I get to know your name, too?" I asked.

"I don't have one..." she answered.

"Huh?"

"I don't have a name. I always get a new name whenever I have a new master" she explained.

"Then what did your former master call you?" I asked. She tensed up a little and avoided my gaze again.

"I don't want to be called by that name....my former master was a cruel man" she said as she rubbed her neck. It was red. The collar had been tightly pulled around her neck. There was a thick red bruiss around her neck. She was wounded quite a lot actually.

"Then....what do you want to be called?" I asked "I mean....I can't just name you. You have a given name, from your parents,right?"

"I don't..."

"Then..." I thought for while thinking for a Name for her "then I'll call you Amu, you're fine with that?" I asked.

"Yes....thank you" she responded with a gentle smile.

When I was younger I had a babysitter called Amu. She was pretty, nice and cute. Just like the kitten in front of me.

I put my head on her head, patting her gentle. She blushed while giving me a confused look. I patted her some more. Slowly she started puring as a smile crept on her lips.

I looked at her. She had a lot of bruises. I couldn't understand how someone would hurt such a beautiful girl. Such a person should be punished.

After Amu finished eating I got and first aid kit and treated her wound. She was afraid at first. But I managed to calm her down. I disinfected all her wound before bandaging them.

I took the collar. I had left it on the couchtable. It was a balck leather collar. But I noticed that the tag was gone. I was sure there was one erlier.

"It disappears when I get a new master" she said from the corner of the couch as she licked over the back of her hand. She slowly moved the back of her hand over her face. I guess she was cleaning herself.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"This collar is the sign that I belong to someone. My master has the control about the form I should stay in the moment. If someone takes it off he frees me and becomes my new master" she explained.

"I am not your master" I responded a bit annoyed. Her expression saddened.  Her ears again pointed down and her tail fell.

"Does....does that mean you're throwing me out?" She asked a bit scared.

"No" I responded as I stood up and went I'm the kitchen. I threw the collar in the trash before sitting back down next to Amu. "You can stay here if you want. You're still seem to be half human, which means you have the right to decide what you do" I explained.

She looked at me surprised before her eyes sparkled brightly. Her tail swayed back and forth again before she suddenly jumped me, hugging me tightly.

"I guess....that means you decide to stay..." I muttered while struggling for air. She had a pretty strong grip.

She let go off me, but was sitting on top of me now. Her tail still moved around like crazy while her ears pointed at me. She leaned a bit forward before gentle peeking my cheek.

"Thank you, Ikuto-san" she said brightly.

I looked at hee surprised as my heartbeat suddenly rose. I fear that this girl will be my death....
