Chapter 8: The Change
(The house remained the same.
Leopard threw Dragon onto the bed and looked at me.
— "Kid, what did you even do? You disappeared, and now you're... human?"
I looked at him... My tail drooped down, like I was scared.
— "Alright, whatever," he sighed.
He put on a chef outfit and started cooking.
— "... Meow— Cooking again? I'm scared..."
— "I'm not that guy! I'm not poking your belly this time!!"
I shrunk back at that old familiar gaze...
Looks like I'm alive for now...
— "Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
I was suddenly grabbed from behind.
— "You smell so good... so good!!"
Dragon hugged me tightly and kept sniffing.
— "Let go of me, meow!!!"
Suddenly, I reverted back into my cat form.
— "What the hell... Dragon woke up already?"
— "What's going on... I was having such a nice nap..."
— "You've got a serious case of split personality, man... haiz."
— "Meow!!"
My body!!
Leopard looked at me and burst into laughter.)
