Unnamed

When Kyle finally came to my cage I was in a state of mental exhaustion. My body felt as if it had recieved a full night's sleep, but my mind was sluggish, as if I had spent 3 days without sleep.

The reason was simple, Tigress had spent the entire night assaulting me in my mind. Her idea of training was simply beating the crap out of me, over and over again. She had only allowed me to rest when I failed to respond to any of attacks.

Kyle looked at me briefly before unlocking the cage. "The mistress has summoned you."

He did not say another word as he led me through a dark corridor. The sights I witnessed during our walk were the same as Serena had witnessed. My reaction was not what you would expect. I felt nothing at seeing the caged humans, I was overwhelmed with an overpowering indifference.

I though the sensation was odd, as I had once been human. I could only admit to myself that I had been effected by my transmigration and the cold mentality of a predator. No matter how cute a kitten was, it was still an apex predator evolved through countless years.

I momentarily lamented the loss of a portion of humanity, but if I had to admit it, even if it was only to myself, I did not remember what it meant to be human. My life had truly begun the moment I stepped foot into this world. Other than saving the girl, which had been done on a whim, my life revolved killing and eating. My greed and desire to become strong were my true motivations in this world.

The dark corridor ended and before me stood a rather large mansion. It's beauty was lost on me, but what I did notice was that the mansion appeared extremely well guarded. There were several entities hidden in the shadows, there power level was near Kyle's. I was only made aware of them because Tigress had pointed them out.

There were also guards that could be easily spotted. The aura they gave off was much weaker than the hidden sentries, but still miles ahead of my own. What was strange was that all of these guards, hidden or visible, gave off a slightly feral feeling. It was as if they were all beasts ready to pounce on their prey.

With Kyle as a guide the guards did not stop our entry, and I soon found myself entering the large mansion. I was greeted by a maid with dog ears and a fluffy tail. The girls tail wagged back and forth as she saw Kyle.

"Youre back Kyle! The mistress is upstairs. She told me to send both of you up when you arrive. "

Kyle smiled, it was an odd sight to see from the man who carried heavy killing intent. "Thank you Alice, are we still on for dinner tonight?"

The girls tail wagged even faster, which if I had not seen it, I would have not thought possible. "Of course!"

Kyle nodded as he led my up the stairs. We walked down a long corridor, in which I could feel several pairs of eyes staring at me as we approached a large wooden door at the end.

When we arrived a feline like person appeared before us. A large sword drawn towards me. "Relinquish your weapon when in the presence of the Mistress."

In my head I could hear a sultry laugh from Tigress. And to my surprise her incorprial form appeared before me, The appearance startled me, but I could also feel a sudden drain on my mana. "That will be quite impossible Jeffery." I could feel her release a sharp sword intent, which caused the feline like man to cough up blood, his face physically paled, but the weapon in his hands remained steady. With the release of her sword intent my mana dropped even further, I would not be able to maintain this long.

"Drop your weapon Jeffery. You are years from being my opponent. If you do not take my advice, the next one will take your life."

Jeffrey's eyes went wide as he finally viewed the woman in front of him. His weapon dropped to the floor, as he quickly took a knee.

"My apologies Master Tigress. I was unaware he was one of yours."

A coy look appeared on her face as the doors behind the man opened seemingly of their own accord. "I did not think I would have the pleasure of returning to this place."

Behind us Kyle simply stood there. The immense pressure Tigress emmited was far too much for him to handle.

A voice resounded from inside the room. "That is enough Kyle, you are free to go."

A pressure was released from the room, one that was slughtly less powerful than the one Tigress emmited. A smirk appeared on Tigress's face as she felt the pressure. "You have gotten stronger little sister, though you have a still have a long ways to go."

A woman that looked much like Selena appeared, though she was older, and had a set of fox ears on top of her head.

"It had been too long Tigress. I thought you had died."

"I did. It was only due to that old man that I was able to hold on to even a semblance of life. I have spent the last 5 years in that dungeon. I have this kitten to thank for my escape."

The eyes of the woman focused on me, and I felt that every part of my life was open to her. She appeared to be peering into my very soul.

"Yes, this kitten seems to be far more than appears to the eye. Did you know that his contract with my daughter was not one of a familiar? If he had been even a day or two older It could have ended the opposite? With her the knight to him? As it stands we are lucky the system only deemed it a wedding ceremony."

Tigress grinned. "I am aware, it was I who forced it to happen. I cannot have my only disciple become a slave now can I?"

The woman raised her eye at that. "I did not think you would ever take a disciple. That makes his identity even more unique.." She trailed off before looming at me again. "Boy, you are dismissed. You will find my daughter in her room. Have one of the maids take you there. I must catch up with my sister and do not have time for you now."

I nodded as I turned around. The dismissal was abrupt, but I was glad to escape from the pressure the two constantly emmited. Before I left I turned to Tigress. "Make it quick master, my mana will not last forever."
