Yoruichi's POV
We waited for a while.
After waiting for two hours, the snail finally rang. It provided a location, and there was no need for further explanation—twenty-three locations had already been given.
Without saying anything, the girls already knew what they had to do. Their teasing attitudes were replaced by total concentration.
They simultaneously took their respective targets and moved out. But before Soi Fon could leave, I grabbed her wrist and said, "I'll take a walk for a while. I found something interesting."
Soi Fon raised her eyebrow, but she simply nodded and hurried to catch up with the others.
As for me, I transformed into my cat form again.
I was searching for someone, and with my feline sense of smell and spiritual sensing, it was easy to track his scent. Since the rescue area wasn't that far from the entrance, I could still smell him.
He smelled like cherimoya—intoxicatingly sweet.
In my cat form, I rushed toward his location.
After seven minutes of running, I saw him. The same scent.
When I saw his face, only one thing came to mind—he was the Adonis of this era.
I watched as he bent down, then jumped high into the sky. He flipped midair and slammed into the forest ground, causing a tremor and leaving behind a massive crater.
I wasn't worried. I didn't know how strong he was, but I was sure a fall like that wouldn't kill him.
And I wanted to see just how hard he was.
( ＾ω＾ )Then he stood up and clasped his hands. Thick tree branches answered his call, and I watched him create a massive tree—and a house.
A tree house. From scratch.
That Authority was over chakra.
He truly could use chakra.
I've seen more powerful attacks that could destroy an entire country, but this was new to me—two Authorities?
My mind wanted to unravel what this man was. He was strong, unlike the others. And if he was using an Authority, that meant he was part of the 2% of men who had received a strong Authority.
For me to find someone like him here—
Now that was a coincidence.
( ＾▽＾)Using his wood ability, he created a platform that escorted him up to the tree house. Without wasting any time, I followed. I used flash step to climb the massive tree.
When I arrived at the entrance, he was standing there, so I used the open window instead and went inside.
I watched him create a table, a chair, a bed, and many more things.
Then I saw something unbelievable—appliances and survival necessities materialized in front of him.
But I felt no energy when he created those things.
That meant only one thing—he had some ability that could store numerous items. That alone was impressive, but why did I feel no energy at all?
Many questions ran through my mind. And a cat needs answers when she's curious.
I watched him arrange everything in the tree house. He moved with ease, as if he were accustomed to these chores.
He even brought out a cabinet filled with clothes—all dark-colored.
I guess he likes tan skin too~
( ＾ω＾ )Then I watched him prepare coffee and sit down.
He turned on a flat-screen TV. There was no way it could connect to any outside signal. But then he materialized a hard drive, stood up, and connected it to the back of the TV.
Using the remote, he opened the video icon. Various files with different titles appeared.
Movies and music videos.
He selected "Movies." About a hundred titles were listed. He scrolled down, suddenly stopped, and pressed a movie without even reading the title.
Then he simply sat there watching.
After a while, he stood up and headed toward the refrigerator. But suddenly, he turned his head—and saw me in my cat form, sitting on the window.
He approached me.
His eyes were red. As he came closer, I saw just how handsome he was. He gave off dangerous yet alluring vibes.
When our eyes met again, I saw three tomoes.
He was scanning me.
Those three tomoes—I had seen them before. But how could he have them too? This is impossible, I said to myself.
He looked at me and spoke in a deep voice.
"Hm… what an odd cat. Are you one of those monsters here? Like some skinwalker or something?"
He asked.
I looked at him and replied in my male cat voice, "Well, what do you think?" I smirked.
He continued staring at me.
"Well, it's either, I guess. So why are you here, Blacky?"
"W-what did you just call a cat? Blacky?" I asked. Who calls a cat Blacky? Isn't that a dog's name?
"Well, I'm really not that good at naming," he said in his deep voice.
Then he turned around and said, "Come. I'm about to eat. I'll treat you to my specialty. It's a dish from my hometown—a panertut. Do you want to try it, Catty?"
"C-Catty… well, that's better than Blacky…"
I didn't know why, but I was actually feeling good talking to him. It was like I was being charmed without even realizing it.
He prepared the dish and served me food on a white plate. It was dried cod with a savory snack rich in butter.
We ate together—more like snacking—while watching a horror movie about an eyeless creature that used echolocation to track humans.
After eating and watching, I felt a massive hand about to pat my head. I didn't move or dodge.
He patted my head, then leaned closer and said, "Well, Catty, I'm going to sleep first. Don't forget to press this red button here in the corner."
He was explaining how to turn off the TV using the remote.
I looked at him. "Just go. I know how to do it."
"Well, that's expected. You even know how to wash your paws before eating, after all. Okay then, I'll leave it to you."
He walked toward the corner where his bed was and, just like that, fell asleep.
I jumped off the table and transformed back into my human form. I walked toward his bed.
He was lying there, sleeping peacefully. I could even hear his steady breathing.
I crouched between his wide legs and slowly crawled toward his body.
Using my hands, I touched his long legs, feeling them.
Through his pants, I noticed a prominent bulge. I gulped at the sight.
Curiosity got the better of me. I was about to stretch my hand—
Then I heard a beeping sound.
The black ribbon was beeping.
Of course, I knew what it meant. The one monitoring him was giving a signal.
I ignored it.
Slowly, I crawled from his lower body up to his upper body. He was beneath me, and I was hovering over him. I could feel my body heating up with every inch I moved closer. Even my nipples brushed against his body.
When my face was level with his sleeping face, I stared at him.
Then I stuck out my tongue.
Without asking for his permission, I licked the side of his face—tasting the faint cherimoya flavor.
After that, I slowly got up from the bed, waved at the black ribbon on his wrist, then transformed back into my cat form. I grabbed the popcorn before leaving.
I walked straight to the rescue area.
And just like that, the cat had tasted something she would never forget and leaving her mark as well.
