*claires pov*

"I need my bunny please dont take it away from me," Rylie begs me as I try to calm her down but she doesnt seem to hear me.

"Rylie, honey im not going to take your bunny." I coo at her in a soft voice then gasp as her violently tremling body fell limp. I quickly slipped my hand under the couch and puller her out, noticing how tiny she was in cat form since she wouldn't mature until shes 18.

I sighed in relief as i felt her wam breaths flowing over my palm and gently stroked her soft fur. I picked up the bunny that seemed so important to her and sat on the couch with her in my lap, laying the bunny right next to her.

She let out tiny, adorable purrs in her sleep as i pet her but i was more worried about what she had said to notice how cute she as being. She was begging me not to punish her but i didnt think she did anything wrong.

"Thats one messed up neko." my brother mutters cause me to send him a death glare.

"Maybe she just has a hard past, you cant judge her without knowing." i snap back at him as i stroke the tiny kitten in my lap.

"Its not too late to return her and-"

I quickly cut off my mom. "Im not going to return her!" I say, noticing the surprised look from my family since I rarely ever raise my voice. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself. "I domt wat a different neko ma, I want her." I say looking down at her adoringly. "she just needs time to adjust."

My mom just sighs and shakes her head, muttering to herself. I get up, slightly annoyed with her, and walk to my room with Rylie in my arms. She twitches in her sleep like she's having a dream and I lay her down, petting behind her ears. "its alright, sleep." I coo softly to her as she whimpered.

I looked up from my book as I felt Rylie start to stir. Her eyes opened as she shifted back into her human form, rubbing her eyes with one hand while she clutched her bunny in the other. She looked down at the bed under her than to me.

"I'm so sorry mistress I didn't realize I was on the bed-" she starts but I cut off her rant, gently holding her chin to make me look at me.

"Rylie, I put you here while you were asleep." I say calmly and I can see the fear in her eyes slowly being replaced with confusion.

"Mistress, pets don't sleep on the bed. Pets are supposed to sleep on the floor." she says and I just sigh.

"maybe that's what your other masters said but I say you can sleep on the bed with me." I say blushing lightly at my own words before I'm snapped out of my thoughts by hearing her stomach growl.

Rylie's cheeks flush a dark red and she looks away embarrassed. I stand up ad started gently petting her ears. "Lets go get you something to eat." I say and see her face light up.

"I'm allowed to eat?" she says in excitement, quickly getting up to follow me. her smooth tail was swaying back and forth happily. I chuckle and nod, gently talking her hand as I walked with her to the kitchen and looked in the fridge.

"Do you like chicken?" I ask her as I try to find something filling but fast to make.

"I've never had chicken before mistress." she says like its a casual thing. I look over at her to see her sitting on the floor and looking up at me with her big eyes. I smile at her and start to make her some chicken to eat, her nose twitching as the smell fills the room. I giggle quietly as I can hear a soft purr coming from her as I soon finish and plate the food.

Her facial expression dropped as she set it on the table, looking down.

"not for you." she mumbles to herself, I don't think she meant to say it out loud.

"Of course its for you, why would you think it isn't?" I ask her and she looks up at me.

"Neko aren't allowed on the furniture." she states making me sigh and set the food on the ground in front of her. Her face lit up again and she quickly started eating. Well I was right about one thing, this will take a lot of adjusting.

Memory time.

Claires pov, age 8

I was in the park with my family and best friend for a picnic. My best friend, Kiera, and I were walking down a path in the trees.

"Bet you cant jump these rocks." Kiera says pointing at some slippery rocks that's were in a fast running stream. Never one to turn down dares I go over and step onto the first rock. it takes me a few seconds to get balanced before I jump onto the second one. I counted seven rocks in total to get across the stream. Right as I was jumping onto the fifth one, a goose started hissing at me since I was too close to her nest. I jumped in fright which caused my feet to slip and I fell into the water.

I struggled to keep my head above the water as it swept me away, I couldn't swim!

I got swept under and my foot was stuck on a branch. Just as I thought there was no hope left, to hands grabbed me and pulled me out of the water to shore. When I looked up I saw a neko, probably in her late twenties, panting and setting me down. I thought neko were only in pet stores.

After catching her breath the neko looked down at me, smiling softly. She has fluffy black ears though they were soaked now along with her clothes. I looked behind her and saw two little kids hidden behind her legs. I was about to say something when I heard footsteps coming towards us and my parents voice calling my name.

The neko looked up when she heard it before quickly ushering her young children into the grass, all three shifting into their cat forms as they ran away to avoid being brought into a pet store or hunted.

"Claire there you are!" my mom says picking me up and hugging me.

"The neko saved me ma." I say looking at where she ran off.

my mom just sighed. "You need to be more careful when playing your imaginary games Claire, the neko in your head cant help you." she scolds but I know that the neko I saw weren't just in my head.
