"…Have you always been this monstrously strong?" Koneko replied after a minute, "Something is off about you!" instead of taking any of his words into account, Koneko launched herself at him, spinning into the air and bringing a powerful axe kick down towards his head.
He caught it one a single forearm, holding the diminutive girl above him easily. The shock rocked his arm a bit from the blow, but nothing beyond a little sting, "That almost tickled," Kaito smirked at her, and moved. Koneko's eyes widened as he blurred and was behind her in an instant and delivered a simple palm thrust to her back that slammed her through another series of trees. To her credit, she was bouncing back to her feet in seconds and rushing him, lashing out in a series of blows, "You're decently strong, and you're very durable-"
He cut himself off as he tilted his head to the side to avoid Koneko flipping abruptly to the side and coming into a windmill kick at his neck, "Not to mention agile as hell, is that part of the cat girl package?" he said, even as he spun around her and caught her arms, pinning them easily behind her back, "But you're slow, so incredibly slow."
"No you're just stupid fast!" Koneko growled, bucking her arms and trying to tear free of his grip, to no avail, he was stronger than her by a decent margin he could tell, not to mention he had his Touki active boosting his strength even more, "You're faster than Yuto-senpai! You're stronger than me. You've got more magic power than Akeno or buchou! Putting aside your crazy leaps in magic power, have you always been this monstrously strong? It would explain how you managed to beat Satanael."
"I'm just built different cute stuff," Kaito laughed lightly as he lifted her up off the ground by her arms locked within his own grip, dangling her in the air, and yet despite how she wriggled and struggled she couldn't break free, "The point here though isn't me. It's you. You could break out of this hold easily if you just stopped holding back. Between your true form and Touki, your strength, durability and speed has to be at least three times what you're showing right now, no?"
"Shut up you ass muppet!" Koneko snarled and threw her head back trying slam the back of her head into his nose, but she was just too short to manage it, "So what!? It's too much temptation! Say I start using my true form again, and my ki, and get hella stronger. What's to stop me from falling into using senjutsu when shit gets tough? I'll end up just like HER!"
As she finished shouting, Koneko lost all fight and went limp in his arms, losing all fight. Kaito sighed, lowering her to the ground, "And by her, you mean your sister right?" he asked.
"…Course you'd know about her as well," Koneko uttered as she stared away from him. When she turned to look at him a moment later, her face had been carefully sculpted into a forced blank monotone expression, "Yes, my older sister. She went mad with the power of senjutsu."
"So the stories say," Kaito replied, making her blink. He regarded her seriously for a moment, before sighing, "Alright, I wasn't gonna say this…but I know where your sister is now and what she's up to."
Koneko's eyes flew wide open, "You what?!" she shouted, the blank face she'd constructed crumbling in an instant.
Kaito scratched the back of his head, "The group that tried to recruit me, and who I got my information from, it's called the Khaos Brigade," he revealed, "It's a terrorist group, or well multiple groups. They all basically serve the same leader, but there's a bunch of different groups in it. Devils from the old satan faction, human mages, fallen angel groups, evil dragons. The one that specifically tried to recruit me, is a human only group called the hero faction made up of humans who are descendants of past heroes or have powerful sacred gears and the like."
Koneko's brows furrowed, "That's a shit ton you just dumped on me, who the hell has the strength to have all those kinda beings serve them?" she wondered, before shaking her head, "Whatever, putting that aside, I get why this hero faction would wanna recruit you, you beat an ultimate class fallen angel before ever becoming a devil, but what does this have to do with my crazy older sister?"
"Getting there," Kaito flicked her nose, getting a growl from the short girl as she batted at his hand, very cat like, "There's another group in the Khaos Brigade, they have a kind of rivalry of sorts with the Hero Faction. They're called the Vali Group, named after their leader Vali. The White Dragon Emperor."
Her golden eyes flew wide open, "The White Dragon Emperor of this generation is in a terrorist group?"
"Not just any White Dragon Emperor, thee White Dragon Emperor if what I'm told is correct," Kaito corrected, "He's the strongest White Dragon Emperor in history, it's said he's on the level of the Satans. But putting that aside for the moment, his group consists of a few key players. The descendants of King Arthur and Morgan Le Fay for one. The descendant of Sun Wukong, the great sage…and you're sister, who is a lot more sane than one would think, and freely uses senjutsu, as does the descendant of Sun Wukong."
Koneko froze, "….She's part of a group like that?"
"Mmhhmmm," Kaito nodded, "And she's made it no secret what her goal is." he added.
Then simply pointed at Koneko.
"Me?" Koneko swallowed heavily, "She's coming for me?"
"She wants her precious little sister back, but that's as far as I've heard on that topic," Kaito shrugged, he couldn't go into too much detail about Kuroka, just basics like this. His eyes flickered over the black cat hairpin Koneko wore for a brief moment, before meeting her golden eyes again, "As you are now, you'd be powerless against your sister. In fact, she alone would kick the crap out of you and Rias' entire peerage without much problem. You guys have zero chance against her with her entire group backing her. When she does come, at this rate you'll have no choice but to obediently go with her, because she will come eventually, or struggle and get everyone around you killed in the process."
Kaito blinked as Koneko suddenly slumped to her knees, a horrified defeated look on her face.
The fuck!?
"Oi, Toujou?" Kaito crouched down and touched a hand to her shoulder.
"That;s…." she started, and he was startled to feel, she was trembling?
"Oi oi oi!" he panicked, and did the first thing that came to mind, he wrapped his arms around the short girl and pulled her into a hug, "Calm down Toujou."
"How can I be calm!?" she snarled into his chest, and he was startled once more to feel wetness seeping into his top. Was she crying?! "You just told me my crazy sister has joined some super powerful evil group and is going to come take me away, and I'll have no choice but to agree, cuz if I fight all my friends will die!"
Huh.
You know, maybe he should really look into learning more about subtlety?
Reaching down, Kaito cupped her chin and made the white haired girl look up into his eyes, "You'll be fine, I'm telling you this specifically because you're not the type of girl that wants to be protected, right?" he told her forcefully, "Trust me, I can take your sister. And I can take the White Dragon Emperor. If it comes down to it, I can take that entire group and protect you and your friends if need be. But…you've just never seemed the type that wants to play the damsel, so I thought you deserve to know all this. It's just that, if you keep hiding who and what you really are like Akeno, you're going to end up the damsel whether you like it or not."
He didn't even know what he was saying at this point, just panicking and rambling to try and stop her from crying.
Why did he always make girls cry?
Tears in the corner of her eyes, Koneko blinked slowly as she stared up into his eyes, "Oh…" she uttered, before giving a watery laugh, "You know, you sounded almost cool there for a second. I can almost even see why that cow chested sow is so possessive."
Huh?
Koneko gave a shuddering sigh, before leaning forward pressing her forehead against his chest and closing her eyes, "…Alright." she muttered quietly.
And then before his eyes, her white hair shimmered as a pair of fluffy, soft white cat ears formed atop her head. joined by a twin set of long, fluffy white cat tails forming atop her backside.
