The thief had just enough time to catch sight of a black blur jumping up out of the corner of his eye before he was pounced upon. He jerked back reflexively, but just paused and blinked a few times when he saw what had jumped on top of his shoulder.
A…cat?
Well, from what he could see, that was his guess. Though… most cats didn’t have two tails.
…Or a youkai cat. Sure…
Kid waited for a moment to see if anything else would happen before slowly reaching up to pet the creature along its back and pulled his head away slightly to save his hair.

“…Oi… I’m kinda attached to my hair, so it’d be nice if you’d not eat it.”
