A Chance Encounter.

Hey everyone, I'm back with a story to try and lighten the mood after writing my last story, 'One Fateful Day'. It is a lot shorter then my other stories, though. I hope that doesn't put you all off. Anyway, enjoy!

School had finished about five minutes ago. Sakaki, in an effort to make it to the book store, rushed out of the homeroom door as soon as the bell had rung. A new book, named 'You and your cat', had been released that day, a book which Sakaki had been anxiously waiting for.
Dodging around many corners, she stopped at the sight of a familiar creature. There, sleeping on the top of a wall was Kamineko. Sakaki could not hold herself back, and while blushing lightly, closed in on the target.
Each step she took made Kamineko raise its head slightly, until it was staring at her. The usual stare was apparent, accompanied by the razor sharp teeth which Sakaki had 'greeted' many a time before. She thought to herself that this time may be different, as she reached out her hand. Inching closer and closer, her hand was hovering above its head.
Holding her breath, she lowered her hand. Kamineko was staring intently at Sakaki this time, still with its teeth bared. A second or so later, her hand connected. It did this time, however, atop Kamineko's head. Sakaki stood with a dumbstruck expression, pupils close to dilating, at this outcome of events.
She soon realised that her hand was simply placed atop its head. She began to gently, and timidly, stroke the head of the cat. Her expression soon resembled that of a little girls', blushing and smiling as if it were her pet. A few minutes passed, and the look of the cat's face had begun to feel uncomfortable. It jumped back slightly, causing Sakaki to flinch.
Staring in disbelief, she smiled sweetly at the cat that never before let her approach it, let alone touch it. She looked at her hand, before noticing Kamineko staring at her, with its teeth bared once again.
"Thank you, Kamineko, though why did you let me touch you...?" murmured Sakaki, still confused at the result of her actions. The cat jumped down to the floor, and then approached her. Taking this as a sign, Sakaki reached out her hand once again, although this time she did not seem scared. When it was hovering over the cats head, its teeth gaped open and clamped down, harshly, on her fingers.
She emitted a quiet squeak at the pain, before Kamineko loosened its grip and began to run away. Sakaki merely stared at the red patch on her fingers, then looked up to see the road ahead, empty of any living thing. A thought passed her mind, before she converted it into words.
"You're still the same, but thank you..."
