Reincarnated Cat Becomes a Magical Beast

The little kitten could only squeal in terror as her eyes closed automatically. Her only hope being that she could die instantly and painlessly. However, this fated death did not come. Instead she suddenly heard a whistling sound, as if something was flying through the air and then she heard a loud death cry right next to her sensitive ears. Surprised from the sudden loud noise, the little kitten jumped back and her eyes shot wide open, only to find the monkey beast twitching on the ground, soon to let out its last breath. On the beasts bleeding chest, now laid a protruding object that had pierced right into its heart. Looking closely, she recognized this object to be ice!

Looking in shock it took her a few seconds before she noticed a figure come jumping into view and out of the darkness of the surrounding forest. That long awaited human she had been searching for! Finally. This man must have come from the people who set that fire. Meaning she could finally find some food... Hopefully they will be willing to share.

"How strange... What's a stray kitten doing in this forest filled with dangerous magical beasts?... And why was it attacked by a Minor Beast like the Hell Monkey which feeds off other magical beasts..."

The human mumbled to himself, strangely enough. He was a rather young lad, in the middle of his teens and had a somewhat handsome appearance. He had his jet black hair swept back into a short ponytail. His clothes were strangely clean and well designed, contrasting with the surrounding wilds. The teen first walked up to the corpse of the monkey and before the little kitten knew it, the corpse seemed to be sucked towards the teen before vanishing!

'The corpse vanished?!' she exclaimed in thought.

He then turned towards her with a pleasant smile. He gently knelt down on one knee to get closer to the little kitten he had just saved.

"Well, whatever caused that beast to come after you doesn't matter, now that I've found you, you no longer have anything to fear. Let this young master take you to a safe place."

With a gentle touch, the teen stroked the trembling kitten's cheek with the back of his index finger. This seemed to work in coaxing the little kitten as she began to lead into his touch, allowing him to pet her as her nerves calmed down.

With this human around, the little kitten felt a lot safer. She was now deadly afraid of bumping into another beast like before and having previously been a city cat, she was naturally more inclined towards humans than other animals.

"Then it's settled little lass... Or are you a lad... Oh... You're definitely a lass, hahaha."

The little kitten mewled as it was suddenly picked up and had its bottom part studied.

'How rude! PERVERT!... Though I guess I am a cat so that doesn't matter... But still, It's still embarrassing you perv!'

The little kitten suddenly grew aggressive as it hissed at the teen.

"Ah, sorry little one. Hahaha. Was I to rough?"

The teen pulled the kitten into a soft embrace and petted her, tempting to coax the little kitten's foxy temper. It seemed to work as the little kitten seemed to calm down a great deal.

'I'll let you off this time... Not a second time, though. Humph!' the little kitten meowed, forgetting that it couldn't communicate with the teen for a brief second. She suddenly felt annoyed. 'What was the point of learning all this new knowledge if I can't communicate. Dammit!'

The little kitten didn't stress on this problem long as the teen began to walk back to the direction he had previously entered from.

Walking in the cooling shade, the little silver kitten suddenly found herself tired. She felt drained physically, and she also felt that the mysterious energy had also drained a bit, which also seemed to affect her consciousness. Soon, she closed her hazy eyes and fell into a cosy sleep in the hands of the teen. The teen looked down to see this and let out a pleased giggle.

'This kitten, so innocent. Letting itself sleep in the arms of a strange human. This little lass is obviously a city cat... So why is it in the center of one of the most dangerous forests in the Kingdom?...' with these thoughts, the teen continued through the forest, not letting down his guard as his eyes studied the forest around the two and a hidden mystical energy seemed to stretch from his body in around a dozen meter area around him...
