"Mmmmrowr.... Not good at all."<br/><br/>Keiko's hat started moving all on its own, until a tiny kitten's face peeped out from under it. While the odd old lady walked past with a soft and friendly greeting for the Amagi girl, no one but her could see the ominous aura surrounding her own house like a dark, shimmering bubble! "Mmmmnegative energy... it's a barrier for sure. Good thing I found you when I did, or this could have baaad."<br/><br/>The cat could talk, in a smarmy, know-it-all voice, but it could talk. And that wasn't even her most unbelievable secret! Biral, or so it introduced itself, warned her of approaching danger, and how Keiko would need his help to fight it. Well of course there was danger... her father was dating again! Keiko happened to catch her dad being attacked by some hussy (https://i.imgur.com/SpfuHSX.png) just as she was about to leave for school that morning, and so of course there was an evil barrier surrounding her house now!<br/><br/>The two story home was all they had, Keigo and her. Her dad worked hard to support her, and he always had her back, but lately he's been so lonely and desperate. Keiko hadn't gone one day without catching him hitting on the neighboring housewives or passing schoolgirls - which was she, the girl probably in there now either draining his balls or draining his soul?<br/><br/>"Your dad's in there, right? Looks like it's finally time. Come on, what's the hold up?" Biral purred, pawing at her head as if he expected her to say those ridiculous words and transform - right here in broad daylight outside her house - into some frilly, girly cartoon! Well, maybe no one would notice... but was it safe to risk going inside just to see what was going on? Maybe the aura was just some weather thing, and maybe Keiko shouldn't pick up stray, talking cats next time.
