Man, the past week has been utterly wild. It all started with a good friend of yours, named Satori, happened to require an absence from Gensokyo for a little while, and couldn't bring her pets for whatever reason you didn't know at the time. She entrusted her pet raven, Utsuho Reiuji, to the local shrine maiden at the edge of Gensokyo, named Reimu Hakurei. Her pet cat, Rin Kaenbyou, she lent to your care. An odd choice, to say the least. Rin did not get along with you, and of course, you did not get along well with Rin yourself either. Still though, what had to be done had to be done, so you tried to make the most of your visit from Rin and attempt to make it as painless as possible.
Of course, this did not come so easily, for many reasons. For one, the beginning of things was not an ease into the factor. You had to trap Rin under your mattress to get her to cooperate. Sure, you sat on her by accident to start with, but things could've been forgiven right? She didn't have to look like a cat out of hot water. Speaking of hot though, and not that kind of hot, notable that day was also the fact that you ended up taking an unavoidable nap in Rin's warm spot that had left in her human form on the love seat. Judging from how short your trip to Marisa's was, you had to wager that she went into human form very shortly after you gave her the pillow, which is amusing and gives you something to tease her with later. With...proper care of course.
Yet, on the same day, you discovered something Rin had masterfully kept a secret. That she was in fact, a decent cook. She brought together a more tasty dinner then you honestly could have at that moment yourself. Even going as far as taking a trip down to the human village to gather up some missing pieces of the main dish. It surprised you, not just that she could cook, but that she actually did something nice for you, for a change. You couldn't remember the last nice thing she did for you, at the time. This is where it truly started, while you were showing mild forms of weakness to her cat form earlier that day, it's not something you're unfamiliar with. You've had the rare visit from Chen, member of the Yakumo family, in feline form once or twice. You had hoped Ran wouldn't catch you cuddling her with a deep affection for cute things.
Come to think of it, if Rin went to the human villaging mentioning cooking and you in the same conversation then...oh boy, you better start praying the gossipy wives aren't telling awful rumors about you. Otherwise you might have to contend with Keine-sensei badgering you about it.
And after that, of course, you had the unusual pleasure of sleeping with Rin in the same bed. Of course, at the time, she was but a mere cat, a feline just bigger then your head. You've always had the fantasy of sleeping in your bed, with your pet soundly slumbering with you at the end of the bed. Of course, at the time, Rin's resistance made this a tad hard, to top it off, you were rather tired and not thinking straight. Instead of acting out that fantasy, you instead brazenly brought Rin up into your own arms and slept with her like that. The end result is an embarrassing, but highly desirable condition of Rin sleeping peacefully on top of you. This was the beginning of...something else. A certain attraction to Rin you had never felt before, and it brutally reminded you of your current situation; that you're a lonely, active man in a world full of beautifully figured girls.
Later that day, you and Rin took a trip to Alice's, happening to be called over on this day to help her with her dolls. Of course, this isn't what she really wanted. What she really wanted was just someone to talk to while she worked, you honestly didn't do much yourself. Alice must be so lonely, so that's why you feel glad to be her friend to be there when she needs you. During this time is when you started thinking about applying that to Rin, and begun realizing that the pointless feud between you and her was potentially more pointless then you had previously thought. You valued your friendship with Alice and Marisa greatly, why couldn't you do the same with Rin? There was something missing, something wrong...or perhaps, there was instead, something right. Something that mere friendship couldn't comprehend. Maybe all along, you two got along better then you did with Marisa or even Alice.
After solving the Puzzle of the Seven Colors, Alice had given you an Adorable Ribbon that you decided to combine with Marisa's Proactive Bell and thus forged a Cute Bow. After a somewhat awkward dinner that night, you got the bow on her with mixed results. What you did was look like you were trying to rape her, it surprises you to think back on it. You had never been so dominate towards someone unwilling in your life. Especially not towards someone who could, you know, kill you in one fell swoop of a claw. You're not a doormat, but you'd like to think you have common sense. At least more then what you had shown. Somehow, one way or another though, you got past the encounter with nary a scratch on your hide. The reward was Rin acting uncomfortably affectionate towards you upon scratching her ear. And the consenquence was her stealing your bed for the night, forcing you to sleep on the love seat. Bitch.
The next day, though, you were not quite thinking so harshly of Rin. It started off with you going back and forth, confused of your own feelings towards her, mixed signals left and right, trying to decipher how you really feel about her, coming to no avail. I mean, sure, she's cute, pretty even, and the two of you are getting along a bit well, but really, this is just recently. It'd be a totally different story if she weren't living with you, you swear this on your manhood and pride. Your signs of weakness only continue to show forth the more and more you spend time with her and think about her. It's only the third day in, and so many things have changed within a heartbeat. At least, that's what it seemed like for the most part. As you sat in that bath, for the first time, your thoughts had not wandered off the single subject throughout the whole time you spent soaking in that water. That subject was Rin.
That wasn't the only thing that caused you to lessen your aggressiveness towards Rin. Oh no, later that day, tragedy struck. Reimu and Utsuho arrive at your rainy doorstep, delivering the news of Satori's uncertain fate. The reason she had left was to investigate something in a place called Makai, which is somewhere in Gensokyo better known as the entrance to Hell. While she is indeed strong, the demons of Hell are apparently much stronger, or much greater in numbers, both of which sound plausible. It seems she had not wanted her pets to suffer any similar fate, hence why she left them in the care of others at this time. But she had gotten herself caught, and contact with her has been dead still. She was practically presumed dead. Lost forever in the torrents of hell. Rin would of course, not have any of this. She thrashed about, shouting, screaming, crying, her emotions flying, whizzing past everyone, until she finally broke free and ran out to save her dearly departed master.
Utsuho told you she would come back, upon realizing that there was no way she could save Satori. You didn't know how long this would take though, and if it would be too late. However, you believed the raven's words and waited, waited, waited out the cold, rainy, dark day for Rin's return. Just as you were about to give up, Rin comes to your door, drenched, in both the rain and in her very own tears. At first she comes in through her cat form, but when you walk in on her in your room, there she stood, soaked camisole, wet bloomers, drenched hair, and it all looked so...perfect. While she was in the utmost despair, and you couldn't dare think of her in that way at the time, you got an incredible, candid look at her for what she truly was at the time. That she was in fact, more human then you had ever seen her as. You gave you maginificent insight not just into Rin herself, but into youkai in whole. While the one thing that makes youkai stand out are in fact how inhuman they really are, it's made you realize that they're still a lot more human then you really think.
You comforted Rin to the best of your ability, and felt like you succeeded, proving the point made earlier in the last paragraph. She felt comforted by your prescence, and while there was a general lack of words, you felt that's exactly what she needed. You've come to realize that Rin is a very physical person, like most pets. Cats and dogs, after being with a generous owner for some time, become very needy of the attention they give them, and start greatly valuing the physical contact they earn from them. While you're no Satori, Rin's relationship with her must be very physical, and needs an outlet for those feelings while Satori is absent. Of course, when you mix this in with actual, human emotions, things get complicated...very complicated. You weren't sure what to think at the time. Was Rin starting to warm up to you? Was she starting to...warm up to you? Were you starting to warm up to her? How do you really feel about her? How does she feel about you? You want to believe that she's nothing more then just a pet, as Satori has somewhat embedded into your mind after a few piercing questions you've given her, but you seriously can't get over the fact that much of the time, Rin is in a fucking human body.
After the huge drama session, you treated Rin to some tea, unexpectedly, to her feline form. You didn't think ahead and thought that maybe she would be more comfy this way throughout the night, still getting over her tears and agony. Still though, you treated her to tea nonetheless and after a bit of playing and petting, you settled down into bed with her. Again. You had clearly not learned from your past mistake and had once again, suffered from it, much more brutally this time. At this point, you started wondering if Rin would go into human form often during her sleep. It's certainly something to ask Satori later on. Of course, since all her clothes had to be hung to dry the previous night, there was further explaination as to why she chose her feline form; being seen in the nude is much more tolerable when lots of fur is covering you. This resulted in the highly awkward situation of her naked figure wrapped quite tightly against you. You were oh so painfully reminded of what gender (and sexual orientation) you were that morning. Oh so very painfully reminded.
Your bad ideas didn't stop there. Trying to get your mind off her nether regions practically rubbing up against yours, you decide to pet her and listen to her gentle purring. Of course. You tire of this quickly, especially upon realizing that this is just making her subconscious form even hornier, making your will tremble in the mighty fear of your awesome hormones. Mixed in with these feelings of desire and lust however, was happiness gathering from the fact that in the end, this just feels like another embarrassing entry to write into your journal of interesting memories with Rin. Thinking about this, you realized you wanted to have many more memories with Rin, not necessarily like this one, but happy ones nonetheless, detailing fun experiences you've had with her. You were always great friends with Alice, Marisa and Satori, but you believed you'd never have interesting adventures with them past idly chatting. It felt different with Rin. Even considering Marisa's hyperness, Rin just seemed much more active and outgoing with you, and it showed in the way you two went back and forth in teasing matches. This was a good example, although it's not like she did it consciously...she just happened to pressing up against you in that way in her sleep.
But this didn't change much about your confused feelings about her. After a rude wake up call involving a rouge sneeze attack, a waking stretch and the view of a goddess' exposed body, you woke up back in your bed, as if none of it had ever happened. But you would not soon forget the torture and pain you went through to keep Rin sleeping soundly, bare upon your body. What certainly didn't help was the fact that you walked right into her changing her clothes in the bathroom. Not only were you treated to a lovely view of her naked, splendid body wrapped rightly around you, and then having her sit on top of you, stretching all the while in what could only be the most suggestive pose ever, but now you got an eyeful of her clear as day naked body in the bathroom, this time fully and completely exposed, with no short detail left out. While it earned you a lump on the head, you had finally confirmed one thing through this ordeal, that you were really attracted to Rin. But it didn't change your confusion about whether or not this is right or wrong. Earlier arguements of her being a pet or not were once more endlessly repeated in your troubled mind.
Despite awkward thoughts of fucking a household pet, you got her to calm down and managed to get a serious talk out of her. A serious talk you were both happy to hear, and wishing you had never done. You wanted to check up on how she was dealing with the Satori incident, and also what she would do should Satori honestly have bitten the dust and not come back. Rin needed to stay somewhere, and you wanted to to provide that for her, though, maybe, just maybe, somewhere in the tiny recesses of your mind, you felt like you wanted it to be that way, if only so you could stay together with Rin much longer, but thankfully the common sense in you pushes that even further into the back of your mind for how mean and awful a thought that was. Still though, it resulted in a fight that ended with you discovering just how trustworthy Rin could be. Your broken heart met by Rin so uncaringly tossing your prized Cute Bow away. So tragic.
After what you hoped was an award winning performance, your went back to your room in a huff after brutally laying into Rin with everything you had, which actually had earned you not much more then a blazing headache. So in effect, this causes you to want to lay down and nap it away. For the most part, it only partially works. But you still feel mildly better despite it. But that soon turns to shit the longer the day goes on without Rin. Your ever growing guilt towards scaring Rin out of your house starts badgering you, making your dinner dry and weak, and your motivation fragile and empty. You couldn't stop thinking about Rin, not for one second. Her feelings and emotions more attached to you then ever before. You start realizing just how important her company is to you and how much living with another person has changed you. Despite having lived this way for years, the house being empty felt...so wrong.
When Rin came back, you wanted her to stay, not just to give you an explaination, but because you couldn't bear having her leave you, at least, not on such a sour note. After a bit of talking, you realize the Cute Bow is safe, once more in your possession, and that Rin didn't really mean anything nasty towards you. She just felt insecure about her relationship with you, especially with how fragile it is. It's the first time your human nature has worked seriously against you, making you realize how short human life really is, especially compared to youkai like Alice and Rin. But it only served to strengthen your resolve and make even better of your time with them. Because, after all, if life is so short, why waste it?
Throughout your sleep that night though, you're dragged into recalling your previous memories of Rin by your subconscious. They were memories of mostly bad and hateful encounters with her, but after all that's happened, you can't help but look back on them with fondness, as if all of it were just a tease. It's odd, but you felt happy reminiscing about the times you've had with Rin, both during and before this visit. You could only hope that your future encounters with Rin would be just as fun. Although it did bring an interesting prospect into all this. Where the hell is Koishi throughout all this? Couldn't she have taken care of Satori's pets? She's her sister after all. Perhaps Koishi is just the flighty type to not be reliable when you need her. Seems just that way, considering how...she is normally. Yeah, let's just leave it at that.
After actually waking up, you discover that it's abysmally cold, even in your own house. Sounds like it's time to pester Marisa for some fire spells to get your sickly fireplace started. Before that though, you need sustenance. You relieve it with food. Delicious breakfast. Though, along the way you picked up a mangy cat somehow. She's still cute though, even when waking up in feline form, so you get her to follow you into the living room and quite romantically share your breakfast with...a cat. Good god, what the fuck is wrong with you, you sick asshole. Potential thoughts of beastiality aside, the breakfast was filling and you had hoped Rin was just as full. You were ready to take on the day...or would be, if it weren't so damnably cold. Instead, you want to cuddle something big...and warm, and very comfortable. Rin half counts, but you can change that quite easily...
"Hey, Rin, do you mind going back to human for for a little while?" You say to her, with an endearing smile on your face. It's not becoming, but you're willing to sacrifice that for this chance. Rin just tilts her head though. No understand command? You keep trying either way. "Aww, come on Rin, please? For just a moment, seriously. It'll be great. Just don't leave a burn mark on my love seat, or I'll hurt you." Rin just gives you a cold stare in return to that remark. "Okay, okay, fine, you can if you must, just gimme your human form...please?" Rin stares at you for quite a few moments before she finally gets tired of you staring right at her and closes her eyes. Soon you back off a bit as she's enveloped by flames, and out from them comes Rin in her human form. Astonishingly, she manages to spare your love seat of being charred.
"What is it, Satoshi. This had better be good." The look on Rin's face when she notices that huge goofy grin on yours only serves to make what happens next even more satisfying. You quickly open your arms and pounce on the catgirl. She lets out a cute yelp as you do so, and now the awkward situation turns to you wrapping the blankets around Rin on top of her, while she tries her damnedest to relinquish you of your grip on her. "H-Hey! Quick it Satoshi! Th-...This is embarrassing! I'm serious!! Let...go of me...! Urgh! Ugh..." After much resisting and failed restraining, she finally gives in and sighs. You're finally in a cozy, comfy spot on top of her, head resting on her shoulder as if she were some massive pillow. Your grip on her is gentle, yet tight, arms wrapped around her torso, capturing an innocent yet loving embrace once more. The best part however, is how incredibly warm she is. Holy cow, it's like it's not even 20 degrees outside that blanket now.
After a short while and much reluctancy, Rin puts one arm around you and the other on your head. It's kind of an odd, yet happy feeling, as if the tables had turned and it's you yourself that is now the adoring pet, wishing nothing but attention from his master. It's extremely relaxing, to say the least. You know Rin is probably quite off on this idea but it's the least she could do after such a retard move she pulled yesterday. This feeling you're having right now...is one of true bliss. Like you never want to leave Rin's arms. Further and further you're discovering more and more that you're feeling much more then friendship with Rin, and while it's disturbing, confusing and awkward, the serenity you're feeling right now completely overpowers it and you can only lay here feeling very content with your decision.
The more time that passes however, the less and less content you feel with that. The more you think about Rin in her human form, the more you're brought to an awful realization that she was to be nothing more then ordinary pet. That's how Satori wished it to be, and she wouldn't have had it any other way. You suppose that this is awkward for Rin too, since apparently, whenever she's alone with Satori, she's almost always in cat form. You slowly start feeling more and more that it would've been best if you had just sat with her cat form for a while. It would've been less amazing, but would've had much more stability then this. To top it off, Rin is a youkai, you're a human...while there's nothing wrong with being friends, being anything more then that steps into a largely grey area. However, that's a topic you're willing to provoke from Rin. Things need to be settled, may as well do it now.
"Say, Rin," you start out with, not really bothering moving your head from her shoulder, "can I ask you something...?"
"Hm? Sure...what is it?" Rin sounds incredibly mellow and chill right now. You really hate to break the mood. Maybe it was a bad idea? But, you've said something now, you need to finish it.
>"Have you talked to Koishi, much?"
>"How do you feel about humans and youkai being...together?"
>"Has Satori talked about me?"
>"I need to know...what do you think of me now?"
>"Do you know how cute you are~?"

Hoooly shit, welcome /underground/, to why I took so long. 21 KB of hardcore recapping action. Why did I even do that? Nyrr.
