I had managed to go back to demon form, and as we continued walking, we soon approached a large cave. By then, the full moon had risen in the sky, illuminating the ground below. I started to get drowsy as we arrived. Youko told me: "You should get something to eat and go to sleep. Go forage for something, we're going somewhere tomorrow." He left, to somewhere outside my knowledge. I peeked out of the den, seeing as my previous encounter had shaken me up a bit. I noticed a fruit tree near by, and started to climb it. I picked a couple of fruit, and slid down, munching on one fruit on the way back. Where would he be taking me tomorrow? I wasn't quite sure. I already made my way back to the den, seeing an availiable bed. I barely finish my meal as I drifted off to sleep, using my own tail to keep me warm.
The sun had just rose as I was gently shook awake. "Wake up, we're leaving." I could barely make out the voice as Youko's. I let out a soft yawn and got up. I was starting to wonder where he had been last night, but I was too afraid to ask. I had to quicken my pace to keep up with his long stride. We approached what looked like an old temple. The door slid open to reveal what appeared to be a cat demon. His golden ears matched his hair and tail, which was swaying from side to side. "Youko, you finally arrived." "Yes, I had to make sure she could keep up." Was he calling me slow!?! My ears curled back in frustration. I couldn't help it if I couldn't run as fast as the other demons. What were we doing here anyway? I was going to ask when the cat demon said, "Yuki was it? Come here, I'll explain everything to you since he apparently hasn't." Youko mumbled under his breath, something resembling "stupid cat". I walked up to him. The shorter distance helped me notice a eye patch on his right eye. I walked inside the temple. The cat demon closed the door behind him, but not before I saw Youko leaving.
"My name's Katsuro. Did Youko tell you anything about this?" I shook my head no. "Katsuro-san, I'm confused about this. What am I doing here?" "Well, it seems that Youko needs some help with his stealing schemes ever since Kuronue died." The bat demon who was Youko's friend... I thought I heard something about that. "Looks like you're going to be, shall we say, his new partner in crime. With a little training of course." Me!?! I guess this is the only way I can live now. "What did you say about training?" "Youko wanted me to keep you here to train you, and control your changing between your human and demon forms. I actually a half-demon too you know." He almost lost me by that last sentence. "You're staying here for 28 days, but don't worry. I'm sure he's not going to abandon you or anything." The smile on his face was almost reassuring. I had a weird feeling about this.
"Your training doesn't start until next morning. How about I get us something to eat?" He seemed friendly enough. I followed him outside to a waterfall loudly pouring down into a river. I might as well get used to the scenery if I going to be staying here that long. We went fishing and we ate our share. The sun was starting to set again as we went back to the temple. I couldn't help but take quick glances at his eye patch. I controled myself from staring to prevent being rude. He probably noticed as he said, "About my eye, I lost it in a fight with a bear youkai. I'm lucky this is all I lost." I shuddered at the thought. My eyes could barely stay open as he set up a room and bed for me. "Youko wanted to make sure I took good care of you. Otherwise he'd probably have my head for "damaging" his key to sucess..." He chuckled and left, closing the door behind him. How would Youko expect me to be any help in stealing? Sure the training would help but why me? Out of all the demons in the world he picked a half-demon like me. I didn't want to bother trying to understand what could be going on in Youko's mind. I soon slept soundly, laying there until the next day dawned upon me.
