-=Neko nods as he takes off his haori, laying it to the side. He unties the band around his waist and tosses it aside as well before taking a few deep breaths=-
It's nothing personal if I kill you.
-=He stands there silent for a few moments as his breathing gets heavier and quicker. After another moment, he doubles over, his ears elongating first, followed by his entire body. His skin turns brown with a thin layer of fur as a few muffled screams escape. This is apparently a very painful process. His muscles shortly begin to bulge, and his body contorts as bones crack and twist under his thickening skin, the fur turning black and thick=-

Suddenly, the boy stops tugging on the sword as some sixth sense, some innate fear takes hold of him. He is aware, now of the cat's presence but it doesn't even register with him as odd in the moment.
"Youkai. Tobias, run!"
Actually daring to leave the sword where it lie, Dalcon bolts out the front door.

The cat turns away from the window chases after Dalcon. Silently the cat stares at him as they move away from the dojo.

Dalcon makes tracks into the courtyard, running headlong for the fountain, which he jumps over. Not realizing, understanding, or even noticing, he skips off the water one time before landing on the other side of the fountain, which he sits with his back against. His chest pounds as he nervously peeks over the rim of the fountain.

The cat runs around the fountain and jumps on the rim near Dalcon. Tail twitching, he silently stares at the boy only interested in his actions and what thoughts he may have.

"I can't go back, Tobias...youk- Wait. Why are you here?" He reaches out a little hand to pet the cat. "Is mom near?"

The cat meows softly, both to answer the question and to welcome the petting.

"Where's Mom, Tobias?"
He pets the cat nervously, starting to shake. "I..I lost my sword- there's a youkai in there...I want mom..."

Tail twitching, the cat jumped down from the rim of the fountain and started heading back toward the dojo. After a few paces the cat turned back to look at the boy and meow.

"Did you not hear me? YOUKAI. In THERE."
Dalcon folds his arms, stamping his foot resolutely as he takes the very attitude his father took with the cat, though Dal'd never know that.

Now completely turned around to face Dalcon, the cat sits down and lets out a low cat-growl at the boy.

"You're gonna get me killed." He's oddly matter-of-fact and comfortable with that statement, especially for a child. Sighing, he walks toward the cat.

Tail twitching the cat stands back up and continues to the dojo, stopping at the door. Looking up at Dalcon, the cat meows softly.

"Tobias," he says in a voice laden with fake patience, "Mom is not in there. I just ran screaming from in there. There is a youkai in there."

Letting out another meow, the cat paws gently at the door before looking back at Dalcon.
