Bakeneko Hazuki ch2: The Two Hazukis

p1
>>Something taking Hazuki's form attacks Sora!?

>We'll be living together starting today...
>Please take care of me, Sora-chan.

>After being sealed for 100s of years...
>I can finally move around freely!

>I'll start by eating you!

>I-I'll<3
>I'll eat you...<3
>Hah Hah

p3
>Waaah!

>...?
>A dream...?

>So you're awake,
>lil miss.

>Onee-chan!
>...No...
>It's not her, is it...?
>Hmph.
>Don't make such an unpleasant expression.

p4
>If you make that kinda face...

>I--
>I'll get all lonely.

>Grrrr! I thought about not wanting to be hated by that brat...
>This body... Hayama Hazuki's influence is...
>?

>Did her mind take control for just a brief moment...?
>No! I won't go back!

>I want to pick up
>where we left off last night.

p5
>Give Onee-chan back.

>...If we're picking up where we left off,
>then it's my turn to start off.

>Lil miss... I shall eat you.
>Give Onee-chan back.

>...Fear me like you did last night.
>Give Onee-chan back.

>...
>Be afraid.
>Is Onee-chan okay?

>Sh-She's fine! She's just sleeping inside of me!
>Don't ignore meeee
>...!
>Then... give Onee-chan back right away!

p6
>...No way.
>I haven't been free for hundreds of years.

>Hundreds of years...
>Could you be what Onee-chan told me about back in the day?
>The one that was sealed away long ago...

>The Bakeneko...!?
>...Oh, you know about me...?
>...Not that it makes me happy or anything.

>...Now then,
>you should start worrying about yourself soon.

>I'll start by eating your arms.
>You can't.

p7
>If I die,
>I won't be able to save Onee-chan.

>Like I care!
>Now it's my turn to ignore you!

>...She seems... to be a bad guy but...
>She's been occassionally doing nonsensical things since yesterday...
>I definitely want to get Onee-chan back but
>I should survey the situation for a little longer.

>Ah.

p8
>Come to think of it... What's your name?

>...
>Hazuki.
>..?
>What about Onee-chan?

>Like I said,
>it's Hazuki.

>My name
>is "Hazuki".

>...
>Uwaah...
>Don't make such a disgusted face!

>...Okay.
>In that case...

p9
>"Neko".
>From now on
>I shall call you "Neko".

>...
>That's way too simple.

>Since you call the other Hazuki "Onee-chan",
>you can refer to me as "Onee-sama" to distinguish us.
>Denied.

p10
>I wanted to take my time killing her but...
>I need to be subtle...
>Subtle enough that even I'm unaware of my own killing intent...

>...!!

p11
>Grrrrr!! I can't kill her after all...!
>Wh-What was that about, Neko...?

>...I was trying to surprise you...
>but I went too far.
>Eh...?
>Sorry.

p12
>I've had a change of heart... I, who had no freedom for hundreds of years...
>would be truly blessed if I could use this body from time to time...

>To accomplish that, I would like to come to a mutual agreement with you two...

>I figured... we could become a little more friendly after that but...
>I didn't know... any other way to go about it...
>No...
>It's fine, Neko...

>I know! Why don't we go in the bath together?
>It's a bit early, but you must be drenched in sweat, right?
>Eh...?

>Well...
>Okay, I guess...

p13
>Kh kh kh...
>She's just a brat, after all...

>When she went into the bath with Hayama Hazuki's body yesterday
>she became bewildered by it...

>Since I have the same body
>I can easily ensnare her...!

>If I make her my puppet, I can kill her at any time...

p14
>Amyamyamyamyamyamyamya!!!

>Unya~~~!

>Okay. Time to get out.
>H-
>Hold on a minute!!

>Why are you so calm while washing me!?
>I possess the same form
>as the Hayama Hazuki you admire so much, don't I!?

p15
>...?
>It's only the form that's the same, right?

>But you're not as scared of baths as Onee-chan is, Neko.
>I just played along with your crappy act in the hopes I could drive you out of her body...

>You brat...
>You saw through my act!?

p16
>Hmm.
>So you really were lying.
>About wanting to come to an agreement with us.

>...!
>She was bluffing...

>...Yesterday, I said "I don't know you well enough
>to either like you or hate you" but...
>now I'm certain.

>Neko,

>I really
>hate you.

p17
>Hah... Gh...
>I-It's fine... This isn't a surprise attack...

>I can just about keep Hayama Hazuki's mind from taking over...

>Ah,
>but.

>Yesterday, when I fainted,
>>I only just realized
>you dried me off, dressed me,
>and carried me to my futon, right?

p18
>I appreciate that at least.
>...
>Thank you.

>A surprise attack!
>~~~~
>Y-You're wrong...<3

>That was because of
>Hazuki's heart...<3
>Fu
>Fu
>It's no good...
>My mind is trembling... I'm losing it...

p19
>If I stay on the surface any longer,
>my heart will break...!

>!
>Onee-chan!

>...
>I can regain my senses while I'm inside...

>I'll have to come up with a plan and wait for my chance.
>I will definitely kill that brat.

p20
>Until then, Hayama Hazuki and company, tremble in fear...
>Mm...
>!
>Onee-chan...! Thank goodness...

>Or...
>is this Neko...?

>A cat?
>What are you talking about?

>Kyaa
>I'm naked...
>Erm... I remember going into the bath with Sora-chan... I must've passed out after that.
>Thanks for saving me, Sora-chan.
>She doesn't remember
>about Neko.

>You...
>You cowardly idiots!
>These stupid sisters...

>>The curtain rises on an everyday life of ups and downs. To be continued next time!!
