Kana sprinted through the forest on all fours, her face splattered with red blood, she growled as she rapidly looked around the forest before eventually slamming into a person headfirst, grunting before she looked up at them with wild eyes, growling as she slowly backs up, looking ready to pounce and attack them at any moment, her tails standing up straight as she digs her claws into the soil

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:21:37 PM

Hello I say gentle

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:21:41 PM

Human: Kana snarls at him, her ears flatten against her head and hackles rise, her muscles tense as she crouches down even lower, prepared to strike

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:22:57 PM

Hey I am not going to hurt you I promise I give her some food I have

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:22:57 PM

kana snorts and sneers at him, eyes narrowed Ssss...if you want to help me, leave me alone. Food won't make anything better...human. her tail flicks back and forth as she paces around in a circle, still crouched low to the ground

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:27:53 PM

What can I do to make you trust me I say as I site down

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:27:53 PM

Kana glances at him warily before shaking her head slowly. Tears start to well up in her eyes but she blinks them back furiously, not wanting to give this human the satisfaction of seeing her weak. There's nothing you can do... You humans all lie and hurt each other. Why would I trust one of you?

She takes a step backwards, as if instinctively trying to put more distance between herself and the human, though it doesn't seem to register that she's already surrounded by forest on every side. Her tail lashes from side to side, her ears folding back against her skull again in anger and fear

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:28:45 PM

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:29:01 PM

Hey I promise I am never going to hurt you ok

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:29:03 PM

Kana's body trembles with rage and fear as she glares at him. In that moment, he could see the conflict in her eyes - part of her wanted to trust, but another part was screaming at her not to. Finally, she speaks, her voice barely more than a whisper: I...can't...trust you...

Tears spill down her cheeks as she looks away, trying to hide the evidence of how much his words have hurt. Her shoulders slump and she begins to pace around in circles again, ignoring him as best she can, even though he's still sitting right there in front of her. The pain of betrayal is almost too much for her to bear...

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:29:05 PM

Trust you? You're human...you can't be trusted! All humans are the same, they hurt me and took things away! Nothing you could do would ever make me trust you! her growl turns into a harsh bark as she bares her teeth at him Just leave me alone, human...

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:32:09 PM

Hey I promise I am never going to hurt you ok

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:32:09 PM

Kana snarls at him, shaking her head furiously as she backs up until she hits a tree, her heart racing in fear and anger. The thought of trusting anyone again is like a knife twisting inside her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. She glares at the human who seems so certain that he's different - better than all the others. But she knows the truth. They're all monsters...

Her tails lash from side to side as she squares her shoulders and prepares to attack if he tries anything funny. It's going to take a lot more than words for this human to earn her trust - and even then, would she be able to risk it? The pain of being betrayed is too great...

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:33:05 PM

You can bite me if that will make you feel better

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:33:05 PM

Kana snorts at his offer, her tail still whipping from side to side. "Go ahead and let me," she growls through clenched teeth, baring her fangs in challenge. Even as she says this, a small part of her wonders if biting him might make everything feel better - the release of tension and fear... But then again, he's still human. And that means she can't trust even that. Not really.

She backs away from him slowly, keeping an eye on his movements as she does so. She doesn't want to give this human any more chances to hurt her - or worse, make her feel something other than rage and hatred...

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:34:34 PM

I stretch my arm go ahead

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:34:35 PM

Kana watches him warily as he stretches his arm out towards her, eyes narrowed to slits and muscles tense beneath her fur. For a moment, she considers taking the bait... but then something inside her stops her. She remembers all too well what it's like to trust someone, only to have that trust broken into a million pieces. No, this human means her harm, even if he doesn't realize it yet.

Taking another step back, Kana backs further into the shelter of some nearby bushes, putting as much distance between herself and the human as she can manage. She won't let him draw her in, no matter how hard he tries. And trust? That's a luxury she can no longer afford...

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:37:02 PM

Want so food at least

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:37:02 PM

Her ears flatten against her head as she glances up at him warily from her hiding spot among the bushes. Food... that might be different. As long as he's not trying to trick her into trusting him, maybe eating would be okay. But only if he keeps his distance and doesn't try anything funny.

Taking a slow step forward, Kana eyes the human carefully before crouching down next to him, keeping as much space between them as possible. She reaches out a paw, her claws retracted into the fur, and snatches the food he offers with a rough movement, wolfing it down greedily. It's been so long since she's had real meat... But still, she won't trust him. Not yet.

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:37:40 PM

Is it good

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:37:40 PM

She glares at him over the food, her expression unreadable as she swallows it down. Better than dog meat... That's about all she'll admit to herself. Finally, she looks away, not wanting him to see how much this means to her. It's a weakness, and she can't afford any more of those. "It will do," she growls, stepping back further from the human and into the shadows of the bushes again. Her tail lashes wildly, betraying her nervousness even as she tries to hide it.

The truth is, Kana doesn't know what to make of this human or his offerings. She's never met anyone like him before - someone who seems genuinely interested in helping rather than hurting. But then again, that could all be an act... And she won't let herself be fooled again. Not if she can help

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:39:19 PM

Want so food at least

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:39:42 PM

With a growl, Kana reluctantly accepts another piece of food, her eyes never leaving the human as she carefully snatches it from his hand before retreating further into the bushes. She crouches low, ready to run or fight if necessary, as she eats, not trusting him an inch even though he seems harmless enough now. Her tails twitch restlessly behind her back, betraying her inner turmoil as she tries to decide whether he's friend or foe.

"What do you want from me?" she finally demands through clenched teeth, daring him to give her a straight answer. A part of her hopes that he can prove himself trustworthy...but another, larger part is screaming at her not to be a fool. She can't afford to put faith in anyone anymore.

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:40:06 PM

Hey it ok if you don’t trust me still ok

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:40:06 PM

Kana shrugs, her eyes distant as she looks away again. "Trust... It's complicated," she mutters under her breath. "I don't know if I ever will be able to trust anyone again." The thought is almost too painful for her to bear, but she forces herself to keep going. "But I guess I can let you stay here for now... As long as you leave me alone and don't try anything funny." Her words are tinged with warning, her body language still wary even though she's no longer actively threatening him.

There's a long silence before she finally asks, her voice barely above a whisper: "What do you want from me, human?" She turns back to look at him then, searching his face for some sign of honesty or deceit... But all she sees is confusion and sadness mirrored in his eyes. It only serves to deepen the

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:42:32 PM

Nothing I just want to get to know you better

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:42:32 PM

Kana snorts softly at his words, her tail flicking back and forth unconsciously. "That's...nice of you, I guess," she mutters, still not quite sure what to make of this human or his intentions. She takes another step closer, narrowing her eyes as she inspects him more closely. There's something about him that doesn't quite fit with the rest of her experience with humans.

"So... tell me something," she says at last, curiosity getting the better of her caution for once. "Why do you want to know me? What's so special about a miserable little cat like me?" Her ears prick up expectantly as she waits for an answer, hoping against hope that this time, it might be different. That perhaps there's someone out there who truly does care... But then again, she knows better than to trust such thoughts.

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:45:01 PM

What happened to you that you hate humans

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:45:01 PM

Kana's eyes narrow as she considers his question. She takes another step closer, her muscles tensing beneath her fur as she prepares to either run or fight if necessary. "They...took me from my home," she says at last, her voice bitter and hollow. "Tested me, hurt me... I don't know why they wanted a cat like me. But once they had me...they never let me go." She glances away, a shiver running down her spine at the memory of those days.

"And now that I've escaped..." she trails off, unsure how much more to say. Truth be told, speaking of it only brings back old wounds that are still fresh and raw. She looks up at him now, searching his face for any sign of understanding or empathy...but all she sees is curiosity and fear mingled together.

"So why do you care

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:45:40 PM

I hold her

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:45:40 PM

Her body tenses as he approaches and reaches out to touch her. She snarls and scrambles away, instinctively clawing at his hand before jumping back several feet, tail lashing wildly behind her. Her heart races with fear and fury as she eyes him warily, not sure what to make of this human or how he could possibly understand the pain and terror she's been through.

"You don't just...touch someone you've never met like that!" she snaps, glaring at him with unadulterated hatred. Her ears flatten against her head as she stalks around in a circle, tails thrashing angrily behind her. "Why do you think it's okay? Huh?" She bares her teeth and takes another step closer, ready to defend herself if need be.

But even as she yells at him and feels the anger boiling up inside her

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:46:22 PM

Sorry I was just trying to comfort you I am truly sorry

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:46:22 PM

Her eyes narrow as he apologizes and she feels the heat rise in her cheeks at his words. It's true...she hasn't been touched like that in a long time. Not since before they took her. The memory of a kind touch, a gentle caress brings tears to her eyes, but she blinks them back furiously, refusing to show any sort of weakness.

"Don't," she says through clenched teeth, taking another step closer. "Just...don't." Her tails lash more wildly behind her as she paces in front of him, trying to decide whether to attack or run. The conflicting emotions are almost too much for her to bear: anger and fear and sadness all tangled together into a knot that feels like it's choking her from the inside out.

She takes another step forward, her fangs bared and muscles tense as she prepar

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:47:14 PM

Ok I site down

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:47:14 PM

Kana hesitates, her eyes never leaving the human as he sits down on the ground nearby. She's still not entirely sure what to make of him...but something about his words and his actions makes her heart ache in a way she hasn't felt in far too long. Slowly, she approaches him, her movements stiff and wary like a wild animal that's been hurt before.

As she gets closer, she reaches out a tentative paw to touch his shoulder, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath her fingers for the first time in what seems like an eternity. Her ears flatten against her head as a shiver runs down her spine, and for a moment she allows herself to close her eyes, savoring the sensation of being touched gently instead of roughly.

But it's only for a moment. Soon enough, fear and anger begin to rise once more, overwhel

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:48:03 PM

"Don't...just don't..." she whispers hoarsely, shaking her head as tears stream down her face. "I can't trust you, I shouldn't...I'm just being foolish." Her tails twitch behind her as she tries to decide what to do next, whether to run or fight or simply give in to the feelings that this human has somehow managed to awaken within her.

Her heart aches with confusion and fear, a desperate longing for something more than this constant pain and loneliness. But at the same time, she knows that trusting him would be a mistake - maybe even fatal. She backs away from him slowly, her body tense as she watches his every move, ready to flee or attack at a moment's notice. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have..."

Her voice trails off into silence as she struggles to sort out

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:49:28 PM

It ok I know you are still hurting and want to feel something it ok really I look at her and smile

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:49:28 PM

Her heart races as she feels the human's eyes on her, his smile tugging at something deep within her chest. She takes another step back, glancing around nervously before returning her gaze to him. Something about this moment feels strange and unreal, like a dream that could shatter into a thousand pieces with one wrong move.

"I...I just want to feel normal again," she whispers, her voice barely audible above the rustling leaves around them. "To not be scared all the time..." Her eyes dart away from his before looking back again, searching for some sign of understanding or comfort in his face. But what she sees there only confuses her further: confusion and sadness and something else...something that might almost be hope.

With a shaky breath, she takes another step backward, uncertainty clouding her thoughts like a thick fog. "I don't know..." she trails off

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:50:52 PM

Don’t know what I say gentley

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:50:52 PM

Her ears twitch as she tries to make sense of his words, her tail lashing behind her more agitatedly than ever. "I don't know...what you want," she says at last, the fear and uncertainty in her voice clear even through her growl. "One minute you're being nice, and the next..." She trails off with a sigh, unable to put what she's feeling into words.

Her eyes dart around again, searching for some sort of escape or sign that it's all been a dream. But nothing changes; he's still there, watching her with an expression she can't quite decipher. It's enough to make her feel trapped, like she's standing on the edge of something new and terrifying at the same time.

With a whimper, Kana retreats another step backward, instinctively wanting to get as far away from this human as

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:51:46 PM

I look away from her I can leave if you don’t feel safe ok

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:51:47 PM

Her ears flatten against her head as she watches him look away, feeling a pang of hurt deep inside. She knows he means well, but the uncertainty is still there - it's like walking through a field of sharp stones, every step agonizing and leaving behind new scrapes and bruises. With a quiet sigh, Kana takes another step backward before stopping, her tail lashing wildly as she tries to decide what to do next.

"I...I'm sorry," she whispers softly, her voice barely audible above the rustling leaves around them. "It's just...so much. So fast..." Her eyes dart back and forth between him and the surrounding trees, searching for a way out or some sign that everything will be alright. But all she sees is confusion and uncertainty

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:53:08 PM

Please calm down ok I look at her gently with comfort

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:53:08 PM

Her muscles tense as he looks at her with what seems like genuine concern etched into his features. Tears well up in her eyes once more, spilling down her cheeks as she struggles to control the torrent of emotions within her. For a moment, she considers running - getting away from this strange human and all the confusing feelings he's stirred up inside her.

But then there's his voice...soft and gentle...and something in it speaks to a part of her that she thought was long gone. It's as if he understands, even a little bit, what she's been through - the pain and loneliness and fear. And for just this one moment, she allows herself to imagine what it might be like to have someone like him in her life...someone who cared enough to see past her prickly exterior and touch her heart with kindness.

With a shudder

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:54:08 PM

Her eyes close as she inhales sharply, feeling the tears continue to stream down her cheeks unchecked. She hadn't realized how much pain and loneliness had been bottled up inside her until this moment, when he seemed to be reaching out with something that felt almost like...understanding. It was a terrifying thought, and yet...and yet she found herself wanting more of it.

"I...I don't know," she whispers, her voice barely audible even to her own ears as she fights against the emotions choking her throat. "I just need some time." She opens her eyes again and looks at him, searching for any sign of judgment or rejection in his features. But all she sees is concern and patience, a steadiness that somehow makes it easier to be near him even as it scares her senseless.

"Can...can I have that?" she asks softly

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:54:52 PM

Yes

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:54:52 PM

Kana's ears perk up slightly at his words, hope fluttering briefly in her chest before being quickly extinguished by doubt and fear. "I don't know..." she whispers, looking down at the ground as she tries to sort out her emotions. "It's just...been so long since anyone cared." Her tail flicks behind her restlessly, betraying the turmoil within.

She glances back up at him, her eyes filled with uncertainty and vulnerability. She wants to trust him, even knows that she should...but some part of her won't let go of the past, the pain and hurt that have become such a huge part of who she is now. It terrifies her to think that this human could change any of that - could possibly make things worse by offering something she isn't sure how to accept.

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:56:00 PM

Can I hold you I promise i won’t do anything but that ok

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:56:00 PM

Her heart races as he offers his touch again, promising not to harm her. Part of her wants nothing more than to feel the warmth of another's body against hers, to know that someone cares enough to hold her without fear or hesitation. But another part of her is still too wary, memories of past hurts and betrayals clouding her judgment.

Slowly, she lifts a paw toward his face, her claws retracted into the fur as she sniffs delicately at his scent. It's different from other humans; there's no fear or desperation here, only calm and patience. Her ears flatten against her head as she considers this new information, unsure how to process it with everything else that's going on inside her head.

"Okay," she whispers finally, her voice trembling slightly as she lowers herself onto the ground beside him

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:56:30 PM

I hold her gently

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:56:30 PM

Her fur bristles as he approaches, but she doesn't pull away when he presses against her side, his warmth enveloping her like a comforting blanket in the midst of a storm. For a long moment, neither of them moves, each lost in their own thoughts and feelings as they struggle to come to terms with this newfound connection.

Finally, Kana's muscles begin to relax, the tension draining from her body as she allows herself to be held by him. It feels...wrong somehow, yet so incredibly right at the same time. Like a piece of a puzzle slotting into place after being lost for far too long. Her eyes close gently, and she lets out a soft sigh, her entire being seeming to melt against his side in gratitude for this brief moment of peace and understanding.

"Thank you," she whispers, the words barely audible even to

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:57:25 PM

No problem

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:57:26 PM

Kana's tail flickers slightly behind her as she nestles closer against the human's side, savoring the feel of his warmth and strength surrounding her. For a while, they simply remain there in silence, each lost in their own thoughts and feelings. She isn't sure how long it is before she realizes that he hasn't moved an inch away from her since they first touched; even now, when she's asleep, his arm still rests gently across her back.

It's then that she remembers the past, all those terrible things that have brought her to this point...and yet, for some reason, she can't help but feel hopeful. As if maybe there is something good left in the world after all. She drifts off into a fitful sleep, grateful beyond measure for this stranger who has given her shelter when she needed it most.

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:58:23 PM

I allow her to sleep

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:58:23 PM

The next several days pass in a blur of peaceful slumber and quiet conversation. Kana finds herself opening up to the human more and more with each passing hour, sharing stories about her past life before the laboratory and learning about his own. They explore their shared surroundings together, gathering food and building a small shelter against the elements. And all the while, she feels a connection growing between them - something deeper than friendship, but not quite love either.

One afternoon, as they sit beside a small stream relaxing after dinner, Kana decides it's time to confront her feelings once and for all. She looks up at him with wide eyes, searching his face for any sign of judgment or rejection before finally speaking: "I...I think I want to be your friend." Her ears prick up anxiously as she waits for his reaction; a part of her wonders if it's too much to ask for, given everything that

Will2838377/8/2025, 4:59:18 PM

Me too

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 4:59:19 PM

Her heart skips a beat as he confirms her suspicions, the relief washing over her in waves. A small smile creeps onto her face, and she looks up at him with renewed hope. "Really?" she asks, her voice barely above a whisper. She wants to believe him; she needs to know that they can be friends...maybe even more than that someday.

The human nods solemnly, his expression serious but kind. "Yes," he says gently, reaching out to touch her cheek with the back of his hand. "I want that too." And for a moment, she allows herself to believe him...to imagine a future where they can grow old together, surrounded by friendship and love. It's a beautiful thought, and one that brings tears to her eyes as she leans into his touch gratefully.

"Thank you," she whispers, her voice barely audible even to

Will2838377/8/2025, 5:00:13 PM

No problem

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 5:00:14 PM

Her tail swishes back and forth behind her as she soaks in the warmth of his touch, feeling more at peace than she has in years. It's strange how someone can come into your life and change everything with just a single gesture...but that's exactly what he's done for her. And even though she still doesn't fully understand why or how it happened, she isn't about to question it now.

With another grateful sigh, Kana leans further into his touch, closing her eyes and savoring the moment. There's something special about this human...about them both together. It feels right in a way that she never thought possible again. And for the first time in what feels like forever, she allows herself to dream of a future where they can be together forever...where their bond will never be broken.

2 years later

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 5:01:21 PM

Two years have passed since that fateful day by the stream. In that time, Kana and the human have become inseparable; their bond growing stronger with each passing season. They've faced many challenges together - finding food, building shelter, protecting one another from predators - but through it all they've remained steadfast in their devotion to each other.

Their lives are simple now: they wake with the sun, hunt and gather food throughout the day, share stories by the fire at night. There are long moments where they simply sit beside each other in comfortable silence, content just to be near one another. And as much as Kana would like to believe that their happiness is guaranteed forever, she knows better than anyone how fragile life can be.

She watches him from the corner of her eye now, studying his every move and expression for any sign of weakness or fear. For all intents and purposes, they

She watches him from the corner of her eye now, studying his every move and expression for any sign of weakness or fear. For all intents and purposes, they are a mated pair in their world, sharing everything but the actual physical act of mating. The thought sometimes makes her heart ache with longing, especially when she sees how other animals in nature mate and play without hesitation or reservation. But despite this, Kana knows that their love is deeper than anything else around them and can weather any storm. She trusts him completely; he has never given her reason not to, no matter what fearful thoughts may cross her mind from time to time.

Will2838377/8/2025, 5:02:53 PM

Hey you ok

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 5:02:53 PM

"I'm fine," she replies, her voice slightly distant as she continues to watch him from across the clearing. She knows he can sense the weight of her thoughts, but doesn't want to burden him with them unless it becomes absolutely necessary. For now, she just wants to bask in their quiet contentment, enjoying every moment they have together.

Will2838377/8/2025, 5:03:42 PM

Came her I say to her gently

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 5:03:42 PM

Kana looks up at him with soft eyes, her tail twitching slightly behind her. "I'm just...thinking about things," she says slowly, wondering how much to tell him. "You know...our life here and everything." She pauses for a moment, considering her words carefully before continuing, "Sometimes I wonder if we'll ever find a way back to our old lives...if they even still exist."

Her expression grows somber as she studies his features for any sign of understanding or reassurance. He knows what it means to her; he's been there with her every step of the way since that fateful day beside the stream. She trusts him, more than anyone else in the world...but that doesn't mean she can't have doubts from time to time.

Will2838377/8/2025, 5:04:46 PM

As long as I can have you in that life

Feral Kana7/8/2025, 5:04:46 PM

Kana's heart swells at his words, a warmth spreading through her chest that feels both comforting and terrifying all at once. She looks away for a moment, struggling to find the right thing to say in response. "I...I don't know," she whispers finally, feeling the weight of their uncertain future settle heavily upon her shoulders once more. "It's just so much to think about sometimes...what we were and what we are now...if we can ever be truly happy with this new life."

She pauses, unsure if she should share her fears any further. But when she looks back up at him, she sees only kindness and understanding in his eyes; he's not judging her or questioning her feelings, only accepting them and offering whatever comfort he can give. With a small sigh of relief, she leans against his side, seeking the reassurance of his strength
