Kaito raised an eyebrow at the sudden shift in tone, giving a slow blink, "Koneko Toujou, the rook of Rias Gremory?" he replied in kind.
He wasn't really sure what was going on at this point with her. This little talk had been a little weird so far he wasn't going to lie.
Koneko wrinkled her nose, rolling her golden yellow eyes in annoyance, "No, don't play stupid moron," she huffed, "You know about me don't you? You may as well have just blurted it all out when you went on that dumbass rant to that useless piece of fried chicken."
….Useless piece of fried chicken?
Kaito's eyebrows rose in thought for a moment, before it clicked, "You mean Riser Phenex?"
Wait….
"Yeah, that family bucket with an overly inflated self of opinion." the svelte white haired girl jut her chin out in confirmation with a nod.
Oh.
Oooooooh!
His eyes widened, "The cat girl thing?" he asked.
Koneko snorted, "Yeah, the cat girl thing," she replied drily, crossing her arms, "See, I can't help but feel that was a bit of a jab at me somehow, especially after finding out what went down between you and Akeno-senpai. Keep your nose out of my business Evander, I don't need a pep talk or any intervention or crap like that."
Kaito stared at the short girl blankly for a moment, before shrugging, "Sure," he replied simply, "Yeah, I know who and what you are I guess, I did look into information for all of Rias' peerage after all when I found out what you guys were. But, to be honest with you Toujou, I wasn't talking about you at all when I was mouthing off to Riser Phenex."
Koneko blinked, "Eh?" she uttered in surprised.
"Yeah, honestly you weren't even on my mind," Kaito shook his head, "That's just the way it is. White haired cat girls, with the white ears and tail and gold eyes are the best cat girls. That guy had ones with freaking tiger ears or something, what kind of cat girls have ears like that? Honestly."
Koneko stared at him blankly, "…They're Tora-neko dipshit, literal tiger cat people, there's dozens of different neko types," she rolled her eyes, before giving him an odd look, "So wait, that stupid perverted rant about cat girls with my specific features, right in front of me, with me being what I am…had absolutely nothing to do with me?"
"Not a single thing," Kaito shrugged easily, "To be honest Toujou, I might know that you're a Nekoshou, some super awesome superior cat girl that gets two tails to start with from birth, but it's not like I've ever seen you with these supposed cat ears and tails of yours."
He snorted and continued on, "Honestly, I've not even been thinking of you as a sexy cat girl at all."
Her eyebrow twitched at his words, "Oh…?" she blatantly growled, and it looked like he touched a few sore spots with that, "Suppose that talk a minute ago about you not just being into fat sacks of chest meat was all bullshit huh?"
Kaito snorted, "Not even," he grinned at her, amused at her taking his words as a dig at her chest size. Crossing his arms behind his back, the black haired gaijin walked over to her, "I'll be blunt Koneko, you're gorgeous. You don't lose out at all in appeal compared to Rias, Akeno or even Yanagi. But the fact of the matter is, you play only devil mode now, from what I've heard, you refuse to to let the kitty cat out to play."
Koneko's cheeks flushed red at his words, but she didn't break eye contact with him. Biting down on her lip hard, she replied, "There's a good reason for that." she bit out.
"Is there though?" Kaito fired back undaunted, "Putting aside this hang up over Senjutsu you apparently have, despite the fact that pretty much every Youki over in Kyoto of any worth can use senjutsu - there's the simple fact that, you'd be stronger if you let your natural form out wouldn't you?"
"You don't know what you're talking about." Koneko returned, narrowing her eyes.
"Oh I think I do." Kaito smirked back at her and held up a clenched fist, an aura of crimson touki flowing over his fist. 'Now, let's try a different route from Akeno then.' he thought to himself.
"Touki!?" Koneko's eyes widened in shock, "You can even use ki as well!?"
"Yup." Kaito nodded, then he swung his fast casually at her face.
Koneko barely reacted in time, arms coming up in a cross block to catch the blow on her forearms-
Yet she was sent careening back through the air, slamming through multiple trees and skidding to a fall atop her back over thirty feet away.
Koneko bounced to her feet with an annoyed his, shaking out her arms and staring daggers at him over the ruined stumps of the trees he'd sent her flying through, "What the fuck was that for you asshole?" glinting golden eyes regarded him furiously.
"Just proving a point, and honestly, kinda disappointed," Kaito clicked his tongue, "I didn't even put much force behind that blow and you couldn't even stop it."
He narrowed his eyes, stuffing his hands in his pockets and walked towards her, "I get you've got hang ups with Senjutsu, ones that I know are unfounded," he said, "But, putting that aside. Where the fuck is your own ki? Your own touki? You don't need to use senjutsu, but look how pathetically weak you are without being in your true form or using your own touki. You're supposed to be my senpai here as a Rook, but we're on completely different levels right now."
Maybe he was playing it up a little on that front, seeing as he was no normal rook. Not after he'd taken his king piece. But, that had nothing to do with the point he was trying to make here.
