Chapter 16 - Koneko Toujou

When the sky darkened, Kisuke decided to call it a day and closed the shop. Even though there isn't much customer, he quite likes the atmosphere and peacefulness as he ponders on several things, both important or just some random thoughts.

He walks towards the kitchen after he locked the doors to make himself and Yoruichi some dinner. Kisuke remembered that he will be having a guest later so he added another serving of traditional Japanese food which consists of soup, fish, and rice.

The smell of the food attracted the angry cat and she entered through the window at the side of the dining table.

She jumped to the counter and saw Kisuke preparing three servings.

"Three servings? Ah... You're calling her again tonight? Are you sure your taste didn't change over this past few years and became a lolicon?" Yoruichi teasingly said.

"Nope~. I really want to summon that black-haired devil with ridiculous tits~. But she seems so busy I just can't get lucky." Kisuke replied while frying some fish.

"Really, those are ridiculous, reminds you of Inoue and Rangiku. But why not choose the redhead or the sole guy?"

"Gremory-san is a high-class pure-blooded devil, and we already met someone like her long ago. Remember Cleria Belial?" Kisuke decided to add stir-fried vegetables in today's menu and started preparing it.

"Hmm, I can somewhat recall. Right, she is a high-class devil. Then why not the guy?"

"I'm also interested in Kiba-kun's sacred gear but he's still just a human when he reincarnated as a devil. Koneko-chan, before she became a devil, is not a human. If I were to guess, probably a nekomata. Even she tried to hide her characteristics, she can't hide everything and those things she can't hide matches some of the records in Cleria's library." Kisuke finished making the food and immediately prepared the plates and utensils.

"Hohoo... A nekomata huh... Any other reasons?"

"Your clan's record states that your ancestors are from another world that decided to reside at Soul Society. I thought that maybe your lineage is somewhat related to nekomata due to your strange ability to transform into a cat and your Zanpakuto that only appears in your clan every few thousand years."

After Kisuke finished setting the table up, a red magic circle appeared in the living room. A red light bloomed from it and there she appeared. A petite girl with white hair and hazel eyes. The front of her hair has two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back has a short bob cut. She also wears a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair. She wears the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, without the shoulder cape. Her height is 138 cm (4 feet 6 inches), which makes her quite short.

This young girl with a dull expression that appeared inside the teleportation is Koneko Toujou, a first-year high school student at Kuoh Academy and a devil who is here for Kisuke's summons.

"Good evening Kisuk- Pervert-senpai, Yoruichi-san." Koneko greeted the two who are already seared at the dining table.

"You didn't have to correct yourself there!" Kisuke immediately retorted.

"It is your fault for being such a pervert! Don't complain!" Yoruichi bitched slap Kisuke with her cat paws.

"..." Koneko was just quiet at their exchange.

"What is it Koneko-chan~? Can't get used to a talking cat~?" Kisuke noticed Koneko's behavior and asked in a frivolous tone.

"What is there to be surprised about? Aren't you a cat too?." Yoruichi also commented on the petite girl's behavior.

"?!... How did you.." Koneko is understandably shocked because only a few people knew of her history and lineage.

"Ah... You see, this guy here can use his head quite well and he just sort of guess it from his stalking you for the past two times you were summoned." Yoruichi explained.

Koneko looked at Kisuke like he is dirty garbage which is on the way of her path and covered her modest chest with a pout.

"Wrong! It is observation Yoruichi, OB-SER-VA-TION!" Kisuke immediately defended himself but didn't manage to change Koneko's expression.

"Try peeking again senpai," Koneko didn't continue speaking but gave Kisuke a threatening look.

Kisuke didn't say anything and stood up. He goes in front of Koneko and stares down at her due to their difference in height.

Koneko thought that he was angry for what she said, but his next actions left her dumbfounded for a moment.

Kisuke suddenly crouches down and lifted her skirt with a wide smile, "Today is white and light blue stripe huh~. Very nice~."

After a few seconds of silence, Kisuke earned a knee to the face from Koneko and he flew back for a few feet until he hit the wall with a loud thud.

"The worst." Koneko still wants to pummel for a few more times but Yoruichi spoke up," Haah, stop messing around now, the food will get cold."

"Right, let's eat! Koneko-chan, stop standing there and sit down~." Kisuke stood up like nothing happened and happily invited Koneko to dine with them.

"Haah..." Koneko just sighed at her shameless and perverted senpai and sat down, "Good thing Yoruichi-san didn't get Kisuke-senpai's pervertedness."

"Oi oi Koneko-chan, take a look at Yoruichi. How the hell can you tell that she isn't a pervert? She's an exhibitionist." Kisuke replied to Koneko's remarks.

"A cat doesn't need any clothes!" Yoruichi protested at Kisuke's word

Koneko just quietly ate her food and regret that she spoke too soon. She didn't notice the discrepancy in Kisuke's word. Yoruichi's voice just gives too much male impression.

They ate their dinner in relish while talking about random things and their daily lives.

After half an hour, they finished dinner and move towards the living room and turned on the television. Kisuke prepared two cups of tea for him and Koneko and a cup of milk for Yoruichi. He also prepared some snacks to go with their drinks.

"Kisuke-senpai, tell me why you called me over again. By the way, I won't be doing any cosplay for you anymore." Koneko munched on her snacks in great relish even after eating dinner.

"That is regrettable, but I want to ask a different thing today."

"What is it?"

"Please tell me about you, devils. Anything you know will do." Kisuke took out her portable note and pen ready to listen.

Even though Kisuke already read about devils in Cleria's library, it doesn't hurt to know them through the eyes of the devil herself, especially from a reincarnated devil point of view.
