I slept deeply that night.
I think I was in total denial after what had happened.
Everything felt like one strange dream. A cat turning into a girl? That only happens in teenage anime movies.
But when I woke up the next morning,
there she was.
Misa, sitting on the edge of my bed, looking at me with a mischievous smile, as if she knew something I didn't understand.
She looked like she had just stepped out of the imagination of a mentally exhausted person — long black hair, cat ears, shining eyes, and sharp fangs.
"You... serious?" I muttered, yawning.
But she just stared at me in silence, almost as if she were waiting for me to realize what was happening, or maybe she was sniffing the air, sensing the confusion that enveloped me.
And then, suddenly, she jumped at me.
"Ah!"
I threw myself backward in a completely undignified move for a grown man.
But she was faster.
In an instant, she was sitting on my chest, her hands wrapping around my body like a cat that could already smell her dominance over the place.
"Misa...!"
I tried to push her off gently, but it was useless.
All that came out of my mouth in that moment was rapid heartbeats, and confused thoughts about whether I even had the right to live anymore.
"Master... I haven't told you something important." She said in her soft voice.
Her words felt heavy, and the way she looked at me made it clear — I was now her possession, and the way she spoke made me realize that I was in far deeper trouble than just having a strange cat.
"What?" I said, trying to keep my voice calm, even though my mind was exploding.
"You're responsible for me now. I can't leave you. I need you..."
Misa said, clinging to me even more, until I could feel the warmth of her body, as if she wanted to merge with me.
"This time, you won't get away from me." Her voice was oddly low, but it carried an undeniable sense of confidence.
Suddenly... she bit me on the neck.
Not hard, but in a soft, gentle motion, as if confirming to me that I was now hers, one way or another.
I'm in trouble.
I tried to pull myself together. "What... what do you mean?"
But my voice was shaky, and it was clear I had lost control.
Me? Talking to a cat? Or a girl? Or whatever this terrifying creature was?
But the message was clear: I was hers now.
And I had no idea how to handle that.
"I love you, Master."
She said, her eyes never leaving mine.
Should I laugh? Should I scream? Or should I run?
The questions were piling up in my mind quickly.
But, like any unlucky teenager, I couldn't do any of those things.
I just sat there, watching as I sank deeper into the mess of emotions and thoughts she had stirred within me.
