Miss Independent (Mob X Shadow Leader! Reader)

Chapter 8 -The Contract

"Ouch...", you started disinfecting your lightly burned hand directly as you arrived home. It burns like hell. Wrapping your hand inside the already prepared bandage, you sigh loudly as you finish. "Great... Another bandaged limb..." Heading towards your room, the black cat spirit starts floating behind you.

"What happened, (Y/N)-chan?", Pack asks curiously.

"It's nothing I slightly burned my hand...", you look at your bandaged hand, your familiar spirit sniffing at it. "This wound was caused by psychic powers... Wasn't it?" Arriving at your room, you fall backwards on your bed, resting your wrist over your eyes. "Yeah... If so?"

"I may be capable of healing that...", Pack responds landing on your stomach.

"How...?", you sit up, looking confused at the spirit, which falls down on your lap. "Since it's caused by a psychic power, I, as a familiar spirit can heal this... Probably...", he mumbles, somehow rubbing his "chin" with one paw.

"Really?", you ask skeptically, "Then do it."

"Nahh...", he starts, "It's impossible, since I can't use my full potential...", Pack responds.

"Why not?", you wonder.

"I am a familiar spirit, unlike the evil spirits, we can't use our full potential without a contract...", he explains, "We need a contract with a human being. The stronger our partner the more power can be unleashed."

You nod a few times, showing him that you understand. "So what?"

"If you want me to heal this, we need to make a contract...", he declares, "I just need you to ask me for a contract and give me drop of blood."

"Euww...", your expression fills with disgust.

"Do you want to be healed? I may be even capable of healing this wound.", Pack points towards your injured leg. Still skeptic about this whole contract thing, you raise one eyebrow, but then look at your leg, then at your crutches. It would be awesome to run like before...

"What will happen if we make a contract? Where is the catch?", you ask the black cat.

"You'll be able to command me and I have to obey. But you can't change my nature or my personality. We can't leave each other behind, otherwise we both suffer, we're bonded.", Pack explains to you.

"Do we have a piece of paper, I have to sign with my blood... Or what?", you ask curiously, "And... How can you unleash your power?"

"It's simple, I'll possess you, and our souls, connect, if we're really skilled our souls mash up to one.", as the spirit explains to you, he gestures with his paws a bit, making it better to understand, "I'll lend you my powers, but the catch is, that if you're soul weakens or even breaks, while doing this... It can happen that I'll get devoured by you... Making you a being half spirit half human... You'll become...", he gulps, "Like a demon..."

You look at him with a light confusion in your eyes. "How should my soul be weakened or even broken? I mean..."

"Great amount of stress, fear, rage... It can be anything...", Pack starts licking his paw, then stroking his ears with the licked paw. "If you really want a contract, we should train our resonance after doing one..."

"Like in the anime 'Soul Eater'?", your eyes sparkle lightly, being the little otaku you are, you now want this contract badly.

"Nahh... More like 'Shaman King'.", Pack mumbles, he has watched a lot of animes together with you.

You jump of your bed, holding the cat, swinging around, smiling brightly. "That's so cool! You heal me, and I get stronger, maybe even stronger than Mob. So I can fulfill my promise..."
