I look at the person before me.
I couldn't believe my eyes.

It's him.

"Who dares to interrupt my meal..!?"

The person from before growls.
His attention seem to be
changed to the newcomer.

"You small pest!"

A white huge beast suddenly came in,
and became bright.

And once again I heard a growl.

"Curse you, beast!"

As.. it stated that,
I suddenly felt force pulling me.
More like of a wind escaping out.

As the light died out,
I can see that the one
who had kidnapped me disappears.

Perhaps it's the wind from earlier.

'Huh?
The white beast disappears..'

The white beast that became bright disappears.
And instead, Nyanko-sensei is there.

I then could see Natsume gasp,
and ran to my side.

"Are you okay..!?"

He quickly removed all straints which strains me.
I nodded unconvincingly.

I, who is still shivering
brushes my perhaps bruist wrist.

"..thank you.."

I whispers lightly.
My voice can't work properly.

But at least I managed to voice it out.

"This is bad,
we have to patch you up.."

Natsume mumble,
looking worried toward my wounded arm.

'Natsume is nice..'

He continued to mumble some things,
toward Nyanko-sensei and to himself.

But I couldn't properly process them.
But his voice is somehow soothing.
Then his face too..

I started to daze.

'Aah, so that's why..'

A smile plastered my face.

"I can't help but to fall for you."

But then suddenly...
Everything turns black.
