A businessman, who came to the school to discuss some financial issues with the president, gave the platinum blond girl a silver cat.

It's unusual for a business partner to offer a living animal as a present. Out of curiosity, Sayaka asked him about the reason why he chose a cat as a gift for the president. The man told her that Kirari's love for cats was well-known in their social circle.

After the man left the room, Kirari put the silver cat on her lap. 

"You haven't seen my cats yet, have you? They are very timid, and they are always hiding as long as there are guests in the house. "

The cat had smooth and fluffy hair. It seemed to be a pure blood of a certain rare breed. But the president didn't seem to care about if it's a pedigree or not. According to her, the animals in her house were mostly feral or stray cats she picked up from the streets.

"Cats are cute, regardless of their breeds," she said while gently scratching the cat's chin with her fingertips. The cat squinted, a comfortable rumble coming out from its throat. A content smile spread across the president's face. She stroked the cat's back with her other hand, combing the hair on its back. She then turned her face to Sayaka and said, "Sayaka, would you please bring some cat food to me?"

After her long day at school, Sayaka got back to her house. She took a quick shower and then collapsed on her bed. Wrapping herself in a blanket, she recalled the interaction between the president and the cat in the student council room today.

Kirari was known as cold-hearted person. She enjoyed seeing people suffer, and she'd never looked at anyone without a tint of merciless cruelty in her eyes. However, the expression she made while interacting with the cat could only be described as genuine tenderness. It was the first time Sayaka ever saw the president treating something with pure kindness. 

The president showed no sympathy to humans, but she treated cats with utmost care. Regardless of their body sizes, hair colors, breeds or even the presence of physical impairments, the president offered all her cats unconditional love and attention.

The cat kept rubbing its back against Kirari's stomach, covering her uniform with its silver hair. Sayaka thought Kirari would be upset over her messy blazer since she always preferred to keep her uniform clean and tidy. To her surprise, Kirari only casted a soft gaze towards the cat. 

To be honest, Sayaka envied the cat for its ability to get all the president's attention.

She even started to wish that she could turn into a cat someday and got to be held or cared for by the president in the tenderest way.

Sayaka let out a sign and closed her eyes, letting her drowsiness consume her.

In the middle of the night, Sayaka felt a chilling sensation running down her spine. Her eyes snapped open. Using her elbow, she propped up her body against the sheets. She felt her weight become lighter than usual. The cold air brushing against her whiskers made her shiver a bit... wait, whiskers!?

She turned her head to look at the full-length mirror in her room. In the reflection of the mirror, there is nothing but a black cat sitting on her bed.

Consumed by terror, Sayaka rushed towards the mirror. As she got closer to the mirror, the reflection of the black cat became bigger and clearer as well. When she stopped in front of the mirror and raised her left hand, the cat in the mirror raised its left-front leg, too. Sayaka stared at her hand in horror, seeing a pink fore-paw replacing her smooth, white palm. There are even translucent claws stretching out from the tip of the paw…

She paced in front of the mirror for a whole night. When the first ray of the morning dawn crept through the window of her room, Sayaka finally accepted the fact that she had turned into a cat.

The first thing that came to her mind was to inform the president that she wouldn't be able to attend school.

She jumped up high, landing on her desk. Using her paw, she unlocked her tablet and sent a message to the president.

Sayaka: Sorry to disturb you early in the morning, but I have to inform you that I got a fever and will not be able to attend school today. 

She didn't want to lie to the president, but no one will ever believe her if she told the truth. The tablet buzzed after a few seconds. Sayaka looked at the screen and realized that the president had replied to her message.

Kirari: Would you like me to bring anything to you?

Sayaka: There are enough food and medicine in my house. You don't have to worry about me. I just need to take a day off and get some rest. "

Kirari: I see. I hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself.

Sayaka: Thank you. I will.

After sending her message, Sayaka waited for a moment, making sure that there was no further reply from the president. She then turned off her tablet and jumped off the desk.

As a cat, she can't use her computer nor do her reading. She paced in her room for a while. Her boredom and loneliness made she decide to leave her room.

She jumped on her desk and used her fore-paw to tap the controller on the wall, turning off the security system of her house. Then, she opened the window in front of the desk before jumping out of it.

She didn't bother to close the window. Her house was heavily guarded by security guards. Like most students in Hyakaou, Sayaka was born into aristocracy. After joining the student council, she made even more money with her privileges as a council member. So she can afford guards and an expensive security system installed in her house with ease.

She rushed through the garden and squeezed herself through the space between the iron bars of the front gate. She had startled some guards in the process, but they paid no mind to a cat. 

After successfully escaping from her home, Sayaka headed to the school.

She didn't want to stay in her room alone, and she couldn't think of anywhere to go except the campus.

Stray dogs and cats were strictly prohibited in Hyakaou due to the fact that the many students in this school disliked them. The students and their parents believed that stray animals were dirty and were harmful to students' health. But Sayaka still managed to sneak into the campus without being noticed.

Out of habit, she walked towards the student council room but soon realized that the door of the room was locked. She laid by the door, patiently waiting for a certain figure to show up.

It didn't take long before she heard a string of familiar footsteps, and the president followed by her twin appeared from the other side of the corridor.

"Oh! How did you get here? " The president picked the black cat from the ground, holding her high in the air. Ririka turned her head away from her sister.

"You better let someone wash it before you touch it." Her comment was ignored by the younger twin.

"She didn't run away. Such a good girl." Ririka let out a frustrated groan. 

"Don't you ever touch me before you wash your hands." She took out a stack of documents from her bag, placed the papers on the president's desk, and then left the room. 

Kirari sat down before her desk, placing Sayaka on her lap. She used her fingertips to scratch the cat's cheek. Sayaka raised her chin, letting out a content rumble. Kirari was lean. Sayaka liked the feeling of pressing her paws against her toned but soft thighs. Being so close to the president, she can smell the scents of the girl's peppermint perfume, high-end shampoo and cosmetics. She could also feel the rise and fall of Kirari's chest while she breathed. Sayaka squinted happily until the president spoke,

"Sayaka won't come to school today." Sayaka opened her eyes, her ears twitching as the president continued. 

"She is my secretary. She always reminds me of my schedule and keeps everything in this school in place. She even makes tea for me. I really like the tea she makes. She is also smart. She hates gambling though, but she is good at investing. She got sick today. Maybe it is because I gave her too much work recently and tired her out."

Sayaka raised her head to look at the president. Without a trace of her iconic teasing smile on her face, Kirari seemed somewhat...depressing.

"She said that I shouldn't worry about her, but I will still pay her a visit after school. I should get some rest before the class starts. There's nothing else to do without her being here anyway."

She laid her back against her seat and closed her eyes. Her hand was still patting Sayaka's back.

Sayaka panicked, If the president got to Sayaka's house, she would notice that Sayaka was gone. 

However, compared to the fear of her lie being exposed, Kirari's depressed expression hurt Sayaka's heart even more.

Kirari loved Sayaka as a cat, but her words made it clear to Sayaka that Kirari needed her more in her human form.

She wished she could turn back to a human and continue to accompany the president as her secretary.

Sayaka tried to stay awake, but Kirari was scratching all the right places. She couldn't resist the nature of a cat and started falling asleep under Kirari's gentle touch.

After a while, Sayaka felt a cold chill wash over her. She was woken immediately. 

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found that her face was inches apart from the president's.

Sayaka almost screamed, but she soon noticed that Kirari was still asleep.

She was leaning against Kirari's shoulder. How could a cat lean its face against a human's shoulder without being held? She looked down from her current position, and a girl's bare chest jumped into her vision.

Recognizing the soft flesh as her own breasts, Sayaka realized that she had turned back to a human, and she was sitting on the president's lap while being fully naked. 

As if she felt the weight increasing on her lap, Kirari opened her eyes. The sight of the supposedly sick girl leaning against her had rendered her into a state of utter shock. They stared at each other silently until Sayaka stammered,

"Please, let me explain..."

"Before you do the explanation, let me get you something to wear." Kirari make Sayaka to stand up from her lap. She then walked to a closet near her desk and fetched a set of uniform from it.

"It's mine. It might be a little loose for you. By the way... "

"Yes, president?"

"A cat shouldn't talk, should she?" said Kirari with a teasing tone, her eyes glowing with mischief. Out of embarrassment, Sayaka couldn't help but blush and shout,

"President!!"
