But why was he here? And why did it feel like Kimiko had meet him before… and 'bonded' with him in such a manner?

I turned at the door, expecting to find the silver-haired kohai waiting at the door. I waited, almost tensing up each moment I thought I saw just a particle of her appearance… but after a couple of seconds, I got nothing out of that worry.

Instead, I turned back to look at the kitty in an effort to understand why he was here now.

'I swear! Stay still and-'

"Kimi-tan, can you tell me who is your little friend?"

The dragon snapped her head at me, her eyes burning furiously at the way I addressed her 'opponent'.

'T-That's not a friend of mine, Papa! He's a pest that mocks and tease me like this!'

Aww, my little girl is having roughhousing with her new friend! What a cute sight!

"Understood, pretty girl. But can I ask your… enemy about why is he here now?"

She gave me a long look, the kind of look a child would give a parent when they are asked to do something 'unbearable' and 'absolutely dreadful'. Yet, a sigh left her lips as she addressed the playful familiar.

Shiro paused for a moment, glancing at me with a curious look. It was odd to believe that a tiny cat like him was capable of formulating logical thoughts. Cats were smart, sometimes, but that didn't mean as smart as understanding and formulating coherent sentences.

As the kitty started to meow some more, Kimiko swiftly relayed his message.

'He came here to play, but he wanted to call for me because-'

"Koneko is having a nightmare?"

The kitty nodded, and, ignoring the weird sensation at seeing a cat reply like this, I turned at the door with a serious look.

"Then I will check on her," I replied to myself. "But still, both of you should be sleeping and not playing."

Shiro looked incredibly sad, but a quick headpat seemed to mollify him enough to pick him up as I started to walk back to the living room.

Just as I entered the room, I noticed an awake Kunou turning to address me with a concerned look. Frowning, I turned to look at the reason that got her this much worried and… I felt my blood freezing as I saw the bundle of sheets in which Koneko was rolled into was shaking quite terribly.

Panic exploded in my mind as my pace doubled at the sight. Shiro jumped off my arms and landed the kitsune's feet while I crouched down to check on the trembling girl.

Her eyes were wide open, her lips were letting out furious and quick whispering. Utter gibberish at first glance, but then I picked 'Kuroka' among the feverish words coming out of the Nekoshou and I knew that it was some nightmare-induced panic attack.

I pulled her up, her fearful eyes quickly turned to glance at me and I cupped her cheeks with my hands as I started to talk at her.

"Shirone, I need- I need you to do what I'm doing," I muttered, my worry making me stumble for a moment as I was having way too many reminiscences of a time where I had a similar episode. "I need you to breath in and out like I do."

I started to regulate my breathing while also emphasized my pace in front of the girl. She was distracted, confused, and incredibly scared, but soon her lungs and mouth started to copy the action happening in front of her.

In and out. In and out. In… and out.

An infinite amount of time passed silently, my heart pounding each second as I tried to keep my mind steeled over the matter and not fall apart over this sudden situation.

Koneko having a panic attack of this magnitude?

The show never broadened much over her traumas regarding Kuroka and what happened once she was abandoned by her sister, but to see this kind of reaction…

I can't help but wonder with a concerned thought how much of an unresolved mess my little kohai was.

Her wide eyes started to regain some focus and soon her incoherent speech turned quiet for some time.

I waited, patiently and tensely, while the girl kept on following up my example.

"H-Hoitsu-" Koneko tried to speak up, but I sighed.

"It's alright," I muttered calmly. "Nothing wrong happened."

"I-I'm sorry," She apologized, and I saw her head dive down for my chest as she suddenly grasped around my waist. My panic vanished to make way to surprise as I noticed something fuzzy tickling at my chin.

A pair of silver-furred cat ears.

Staring down on her lower back, I could see a cat-like tail fluttering about in an erratic manner.

"It's alright," I repeated, picking her up. She tensed up for a moment, thus I explained what I was doing. "You're pale, and you just got out from a panic attack. You need some water and sugar right now."

She was also trembling a little bit, but it wasn't as prominent as before. Still, my words seemed to get her out of her nervous state as she allowed me to bring her to the kitchen and leave her on the space available on the counter.

We both wasted a moment to get reaccustomed with the light of the kitchen, but I recovered just in time to start mixing two spoonful of sugar within a glass of water.

The Nekoshou stared at the simple preparation, her cat ears twitching in an awkward pattern as in to demonstrate how much embarrassed she was for the situation.

I offered her the drink and Koneko picked it with both hands.

"S-Senpai. There's an explanation for-"

"First we make sure that you're alright," I stated with a hint of sternness. "Then we shall talk."

Her eyes widened again, but she nodded in silent agreement at my words before downing the entire content of the glass.

Moments later, I picked the glass off her hands and left it on the sink to be cleaned later on.
