Night of the Nekomatas!

"Hello? Felix, Reta?"

Gulp. Feeling her palms grow sweaty, she took a few careful steps forward nearing the double doors. Why on earth did I leave then wide open like this were some kind of barn? The beating in her chest grew louder, her face feeling hotter but soon enough her hands felt the cool feel of polished wood before pushing the doors closed. Leaning her forehead against the door, she drew one last breath to calm her nerves. A small presence could be felt sneaking up behind her as Janette prayed to a higher power that this was no stranger to her.

"KuliKuli?"

... Absence. Even the faint ringing in her ears grew deaf, not a sound pierced the air, no sense of further movement or action. Nothing but the nervous sweat rolling down her forehead and the wet palms she was patting against her dress.

Phew, false alarm.

"Mew."

Or not.

THUD!

Her reaction was not quick enough, she found herself gasping right as a paw slammed to her right, a soft gust of wind passing by her ear. Pressed against the doors, Jeanette stared dumbfounded at the mystery figure in front of her smirking with a familiar grin. Her two wails wagging naturally, her childish expression filled with curiosity and innocence with a glare in her yellow eyes hinting at malicious intent, and the fur on her body covering her forearms and ankles in sheer contrast to her paler human skin.

And who can forget those two cat ears peaking out of such raven black smooth hair? No doubt about it, this was another Nekomata.

She leaned forward inch by inch, closing the gap that lay between the two women. Jeanette felt a sense of panic rush into her, her mind filled with shock and question after question. At last a cloud of thought surmised at a slight fact she had read in her studies upon Nekomata's; they are nonviolent creatures unless a mate or family is being threatened. Plus her claws were not out either so you know, there's also that.

Sssnnniiiiiiifffffff!

Exhale.

"Hi." She smiled, her nose a few centimeters away as their eyes remained connected, never blinking. "You have someone's scent on you, and that someone is super important to us. I don't suppose you've seen another girl like me, short, brown patches on her white fur, kinda ditzy?"

Janette's lower lip quivered before speech came to mind. Did she say us? "W-What's she to you?"

"Hehe," That giggle. "What's she to me? She's everything, and you are keeping her away from me."

So much for nonviolent.

"Felix?"

He kept his arm out, keeping Reta behind him as they stared down at the Nekomata facing them with her litter of kittens perched on the tree behind her. Her ear twitched, her eyes focused and clear, her posture as if she were slightly hunched ready for a fight. Felix swallowed heavily, feeling the cool air of the outside wilderness began to take effect, it's breeze passing through his skin. There are so many of them, they have to all be Nekomata's too, right?

He needed to do something, and fast.

Felix pushed his hand out in front as a precaution, triggering several kitties to meow and drop from the tree onto the soft grass. His wide yellow eyes scanned around them, no sign of KuliKuli. Where is she? Is Janette safe?

"Reta."

"Hai?"

"Go check on Janette for me. I'll keep here, keep these kitties company."

She drew in breathe before he turned back and interrupted her. "Now Reta, go now. Maybe KuliKuli is there, if not... lock the house and stay in. Don't wait for me."

Reta paused, stunned upon hearing such words. Was he really thinking about taking on not one or two but three Monster Cat girls alone?

He must be the dumbest naive idiot left alive.

Suddenly the other cats leapt from their position, surrounding them before slowly transforming into their Nekomata form. There were three of them total now, three Nekomata's with the newer two looking to be in their young adulthood. The head cat seemed more mature in age and appearance whilst still retaining her beauty. None of them have heard of clothes so the sets of tits were a nice feature if only they weren't in trouble at the time.

The older one spoke first, her sharp eyes staring into Felix's own.

"I recognize those eyes, and you are no woman. Have you mated with my daughter?"
