Miss Independent (Mob X Shadow Leader! Reader)

Chapter 10 - Festival

The last weeks were hard for you, your father arrived and made you train even harder than before. Thanks to that festival, you have to represent the dojo. You really don't want to be the one on stage, especially since you know that Mob would be there. So free time was gone the last weeks, whether you trained for the show or with Pack on your "resonance".

But it was all worth it. You managed to resonate with Pack better than before you made great progress. It's not perfect, but you felt how much stronger you've become thanks to this. You can control better the power that gets unleashed.

Today you have a good day, your appearance was more like a cat than ever. Pupils dagger-shaped, your canines are formed like little fangs, cat ears, of course, and a tail decorates your body.

"Can you hold up to this for at least 5 minutes, (Y/N)-chan?" The voice of Pack echoes in your mind.

"I'll try...", you mumble, concentrating to hold up this form. At first you could just hold this form for exact 10 seconds, it's surprisingly more exhausting as it sounds. You look at your phone, just 30 seconds to endure this and you would reach the 5 minutes. Squinting your eyes your concentration is at its maximum rate, until the sound of your phone interrupts your concentration.

It's a message from Mob, not caring about anything you open the message.

Text:

"How are you, (Y/N)-san? You seem really busy the last weeks, hopefully I don't bother you... Just wanted to make sure, you're fine."

You blush lightly as you read the message, you immediately respond.

Text:

"Yeah, I'm busy, since my father is back, training got a lot more and harder. Sorry that I made you worry. Hope you're fine too."

Clicking on the send button you lay your phone to the side, you look up again, thank goodness that you don't have to hold up this form anymore, it really was exhausting.

"(Y/N)-chan, we already are doing this for exact 7 minutes and 27 seconds. Are you really fine?" Pack echoes in your head, making you look at the pond, to see your reflection. It's true you looked like before.

"It's not exhausting at all, Pack-kun. Guess, I figured out how to control this form...", you mumble to yourself.

"Excellent. Then we'll make a cut here, you need sleep. Tomorrow is your big show." The familiar spirit says as he exits your body in form of mist. The black cat floats just like normal in front of you, while your appearance change into its normal form too.

"You're right, Pack-kun.", you mumble while yawning, "Thank you, I'm really glad to have you as a partner, even though you're sometimes a pervert." You pet the cat as you walk into the mansion, heading to your room, totally tired.

~~The next day~~

Everyone is in a hurry, building up the stage for the show, you sit on the stairs next to the place. Impatiently tapping with your foot on the floor, you really wanted to help, but nobody let you. They're all afraid something bad will happen and you wouldn't be able to do your performance.

You sigh loudly, as you see the guys training at the dojo too go by, holding onto some wooden boards. "I want to help, too..." You pout seeing everyone struggling to build up the stage, Pack lands beside you, rubbing his head against your sitting figure.

"It's okay, (Y/N)-chan. No need to feel bad. They're doing this for you, don't bother, just get a look around, okay?" Pack tries to cheer you up. You nod and slowly get up.
