Two days later

Judar was sleeping on his flying turban while Lilly looked at the ground below the two decided to journey together until both get what they want passing by an air ship Lilly's cat ears twitched in delight when she saw a little girl waving at her. Judar kept mumbling in his sleep saying things like "Hakuryuu" and "pip squeak" it made Lilly wonder what his life was like before she met him Judar was incredibly nice to the old lady who took care of him when he was sick. "I wonder if I could take it all of without him noticing?," being as quiet as possible she used baby oil and a ragg to wipe off Judar's make up from his eyes looking at them she blushed a bit at the sight suddenly the magi started to stir she quickly backed up "*yawn* I slept pretty good...why does my face feel wet, Lilly?," he shot her a look "just wanted to see your face without the makeup on and you look cute without it."

Judar blushed madly but pretended he didn't care "you should have asked me" Lilly only stared her cat eyes looked as if they were staring into the magi's soul he immediately looked away a bit intimidated by her eyes then he felt something soft rubbing against him it was a gray cat with splashes of white purring on his lap he knew it was Lilly but he couldn't make himself say anything.

The duo landed in a town filled with traffic and people trying to sell stuff Lilly returned to her human form now being dressed in a blue shirt,jean shorts, and black tennis shoes "hello sir, would you like to buy some flowers for your girlfriend?," a woman asked showing Judar a bouquet of flowers "sorry but she's not my girlfriend" "I know but I can tell you have an interest in her" Judar was blushing crazily "YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG IDEA LADY," he shouted and walked away to catch up with Lilly.

"Hey Judar want to hear a story?," Lilly asked "why are you suddenly wanting to tell me a story?" " do you want to hear it or not" "tsk, fine" Lilly and Judar sat on a bench "this story is very old my parents use to tell me about it the story is about an extinct species of yokai the Nekomata."

The Nekomata empire was a proud race of warrior yokai a cat with twin tails was no joke even more powerful than a bakeneko, a cat yokai with one tail, their current ruler the emperor was the only thing that the others would have respect for yokai of different species were a treat to them and having romantic relationships with one was a taboo and a law passed down from the first emperor however, the emperor's son ignored this superstition often befriending many yokai behind his father's back and falling in love with the lowest of the low a human. The Prince would often visit the woman in a valley far from his home, but one day when he came to meet his lover she was in tears asking what was wrong she answered "I am going to bear your child."

The Prince was happy at first then realized the treat of his child's life if the emperor found out this spark something that could destroy the empire forever and he vowed to keep it secret and he did for four years. The secret couldn't be kept forever the emperor found out, then the people, then other empires that's when all hell broke loose.

The Nekomata have been going through war after war many yokai of different nations began attacking their empire the citizens pleating the emperor to surrender but the emperor didn't back down eventually they lost. The prince however, knew this would happen so to keep his race alive he sealed his son's powers only to be passed down to his grand child using a spell capable of time and teleportation he sent his son to an unknown world in a different time period while he disappeared as for the Nekomata they began dying out and eventually were erased from the world the last Nekomata died being sacrificed to the oni since they're the ones who destroyed the Nekomata.

The end.

"What kind of a story was that?!," Judar asked "it didn't even have a happy ending so why tell me this story to begin with?!" "I don't know just thought about it and besides there's still hope," Lilly said "how is there still hope?," the magi asked "the Prince's son has Nekomata blood so the species isn't technically extinct but the descendants were never found."

Night rolled in the two travelers were in a hotel room Judar laid awake on the bed thinking of the story playing with the white and black rukh making a shape of a cat with two tails all of a sudden the cat began walking on it's own become more like a solid figure with a black mist coming from it. The Nekomata flew around the magi who sat wide eyed as a cloud covered his vision "come back" Judar jumped looking for the source of the voice "who- who's there?!," he shouted then he spotted a small red light it grew bigger and bigger until he was in a place that was on fire!

The magi looked around trying to figure out what was going on "WAAAAAH WAAAAAH" a baby was crying and a man and a woman stood right laid dead of it while a group of people in mask walk towards the babe laughing while in the fire a cat shape formed looking at him mouthing the words "come back " Judar was now in a dark place realizing it was the base of Al-thamen "we have the magi my lord," a masked man said the leader walked towards the baby and smiled "we have our tool" Judar grit his teeth the word tool sparked something in him "but there's something else about the child let's just make sure he doesn't figure it out."

Judar was then back at the flaming house looking at his parent's corpses something wet came from his eyes it was his tears the fire turned blue and a red collar with a yellow bell on it was placed in a box by the blue fire in a shape of a cat with two tails the feline dug a hole and buried the box in the fireplace "when you come back you'll know where to find it my son," the cat said then burst into rukh.

"JUDAR WAKE UP" the magi shot up from the bed panting "geez, you kept moving in your sleep and crying" "I have to go back" Lilly tilted her head "huh?" "I have to the village I was born in," he said getting up from the bed "it's five o'clock in the morning!," Lilly said "the earlier the better I'll explain on the way," he said " fine but you owe me breakfast."
