[Tohru wasn't sure how it was possible but she felt it, all of the emotions in the dream. It takes her a while to recover before speaking again.]

Shishou-san...?

[zodiac_shishou]

[Kazuma smiles, though it doesn't seem to have the energy and carefree demenor it usually does.] Ah Tohru-san, I suppose that you saw it. That time that I spoke about with my grandfather.

[onigiri_itsumo]

I... I did. [She nods.] I apologize. I didn't mean to watch your dream, Shishou-san.

[zodiac_shishou]

There's no reason for you to apologize.

[onigiri_itsumo]

I-I didn't mean to intrude!

[zodiac_shishou]

You weren't intruding Tohru, the dream was broadcast for any to see. [Though luckily he had managed to screen it from Kyou.]

[onigiri_itsumo]

[Tohru nods, gulping.]

Then, who was that... Shishou-san?

[zodiac_shishou]

The man at the beginning was my grandfather, it was the only time that I met him when I was a child. The later. . .

[Kazuma pauses for a moment his gaze dropping a little.] It was what I was afraid would happen to Kyo. What would have happened if he hadn't come back with you that night I took his beads.

[onigiri_itsumo]

[That would mean that Kazuma's grandfather was the cat before Kyou. Tohru looks into the video intently at the next thing he said. And suddenly, she remembers that day all too clearly. The pungent stench, her heart beating frantically against her chest when she was searching for him.]

But, Kyou-kun came back. He came back...

[zodiac_shishou]

Yes he did. Thanks to you. [For that Kazuma had been grateful for Tohru.] You did more for him than I could that day.

[Shaking her head.]

That's not true, Shishou-san!

[onigiri_itsumo]

Kyou-kun... Kyou-kun looks up to you. He respects you.

[a beat]

Please don't doubt that, Shishou-san.
