Very carefully, Vincent sits down on the sofa beside the sleeping shinigami. He has no intention of waking Komachi from her nap, but it won't hurt to take a closer look. Besides, no one else is in the room right now. There isn't anything wrong with just watching her peaceful, sleeping face.

With that thought in mind, he continues staring at the girl. Up close like this, he notices that her short red hair is actually quite neat and well-kept. A pair of bright red string beads are tied to her hair on each side to form cute twin-tails. The expression on her face is calm, yet strangely vulnerable. Now that he sees her like this, he realizes that the girl really is quite fair and feminine.

Before he knows it, Vincent finds himself carefully stroking her hair. The touch of her red locks upon his fingers is surprisingly stimulating and pleasant. Seeing that her sleep is undisturbed, he continues lightly brushing her soft red hair with his hands. He can't help but be a small part of this tranquil and elegant moment. It isn't every day that he sees her like this.

After a few minutes, Komachi moans and shifts herself slightly. Immediately, he lets go of her hair, fearing that she might wake. However, a moment later, the girl starts snoring once more. Sighing in relief, Vincent takes a glance around the room before stroking her hair again.

Somehow, this feels really nice, being with her like this - not a kiss or a hug, but just sitting here beside her. If he were to die today and find himself on that boat with this girl, perhaps it wouldn't be that bad. Soon, he loses himself as he becomes part of the picture he is watching.

"Whatcha doing?" asks a small voice.

Vincent's eyes widen in surprise. He quickly pulls his hands away and turns to the newcomer.

"Chen?"

The nekomata girl smiles at him excitedly. Both of her tails are wagging.

"Are you petting her?" cries Chen.

"W-w-wait, I wasn't -" argues Vincent. He feels his cheeks grow red at the implication of her words.

"I want~" says Chen slowly. "I want big brother to pet me too!"

"E-eh? Wait, Chen. What are you talking about?"

Then, Vincent senses a strange aura awaken nearby. He turns around slowly to see Komachi sitting up on the sofa, clearly awake. Her scythe leans carelessly on her shoulder. She gives him an unusual, crooked smile.

"Don't mind me," whispers Komachi.

Before he can reply, he feels Chen tugging at his shirt.

"Pet me too!" she cries excitedly. "Pet me too! Pet me too~"
