Chapter 8

Chie looked out the window while in the kitchen. She looked at the cloak to see the time. It's still early in the morning. She continued to look out the window; the sun was starting to rise.

Hikari and Aoi entered the kitchen. They both stared at Chie who was staring out the window. Hikari and Aoi stared at each other in question. Then, they both took a seat next to Chie so she was in the middle.

"Hi Chie," Aoi happily spoke as she put a hand on Chie's shoulder.

"Good morning!" Hikari spoke as she also put a hand on Chie's other shoulder.

"Oh! Hikari and Aoi, morning," Chie spoke as she turned and looked at the two on each side of her.

"How are you in the morning?" Aoi asked as she gave Chie a worried look.

"You looked like you were kind of spacing off," Hikari added as she also gave Chie a worried look.

"I guess I kind of was," Chie laughed as she got up, "Are you two hungry?" she went in front of the oven.

"Yes please!" they both said at the same time with sparkling eyes.

"Food coming up!" Chie exclaimed as she started to cook something.

Miyako opened her eyes to see a black cat with black demon wings sleeping. She smiled at the sight. You followed me Katsumi. Well, it's morning now. Miyako sat up and started to pet Katsumi. The cat opened its eyes. Then Katsumi yawned and looked at Miyako.

"Why did you follow me?" Miyako asked as she got out of bed.

"I felt like it. Besides, those two that don't belong here are still in this world," Katsumi replied as it stretched.

"Do you know if someone made the portal or if it just randomly appeared?" Miyako asked as her outfit appeared on her and replaced her pajamas.

"Even I don't know that," Katsumi ran up to Miyako and jumped while Miyako caught the cat.

"Are you awake?" the door opened to reveal Shiro.

"Yeah," Miyako replied as she headed to Shiro who moved aside to let her out the room.

"Breakfast is ready," Shiro replied as it disappeared.

"I hope there's some for me too," the demon cat spoke as they made their way downstairs.

"We need to figure out a way to make a portal or something," Hikari muttered as she, Aoi, and Chie made their way through a forest.

"Well, we're going back to where Miyako and I found you two. There might be something there," Chie replied as she turned to look at Hikari.

"It's up ahead!" Aoi pointed to a clearing in the forest that had a river.

The three ran towards the spot. They looked around to find nothing out of the ordinary.

"It's the river!" Aoi exclaimed with excitement in her eyes as she jumped into the water.

She appeared out of the water in her mermaid form. Aoi's hair was now blue and wavy and her eyes were blue. Chie widened her eyes and Hikari just smiled at her friend.

"So it's true," a voice spoke as the three turned around to see Miyako and a black cat with red demon eyes and black demon wings that was flying.
