While walking to school, Kagura found Sakaki writhing in pain, with the evil gray cat biting her hand. Sakaki waved her arms in the air, in a desperate attempt to shake the cat off, to no avail.

"Hang on!" Kagura shouted. She reached for the cat— but recoiled just in time to avoid being clawed.

And then, Sakaki happened to wave the cat over a bush. The cat sheared off the top of the bush with its claws, like an electric trimmer.

Kagura was conflicted. She was concerned for Sakaki— but at the same time, that shearing was kinda kewl.
