The alley was almost too dark to see. Far too dark for Shirigana to notice his clothes changing color. Within Shirigana, Shojoro waited patiently. Soon it would be his turn.
Day and Night; Constant Struggles

While walking along the alley, Fluffy also changed. One second she was human, the next she was fully cat. She noted the change in her friend and ould only guess the man from two nights ago(or was it one?) was back.
Shirigana's stride slowly grew less light-hearted as his hair turned black. The transformation was completed with his cheerful blue eyes changing into a fearsome red. He peered through the shadows, his vision slicing through the darkness like a laser through an ice cube. He looked for any sign of life other than the cat. Preferably a mugger, but a hobo would suit his purpose as well. "Come out, come out!" He said, his voice eerie like that of a murderer in a horror movie. In fact, that was rather close to the truth.
Someone stepped out of the darkness and into their path, knocking overa metal trash can in the process. The noise as it hit against the brick ground caused Fluffy to jump and latch onto 'Shirigana's' leg, digging her claws in his flesh.
Shojoro cringed, otherwise ignoring Fluffy. "Nice of you to visit. I hope this hurts." Shojoro gleefully leapt back, throwing a ball of shadow at the newcomer. The shadows were engulfed in a bright purple flame as they sailed toward their target. A skeleton stepped up to stand beside Shojoro, wielding a large axe.
Fluffy had all nine lives scared out of her just then at the sight of the skeleton, and quickly broke into a full run. She got out of the alley and ran over to the apartment building. Panting, she leaned against the side of the building and closed her eyes.
He barely noticed Fluffy flee. In such a dark alley, Shojoro was too powerful. The shadows themselves reached up to slowly crush their target like a mighty snake of darkness. The skeleton was soon in front of the figure. "Scream for me!" He commanded as the skeleton swung its great axe at the figure's left leg. "Let me hear you scream in agony!" These were the moments Shojoro lived for. As a kid he had used unfortunate neighbors and bystanders who travelled alone at night to test his dark power.
Fluffy covered her ears with her paws to get rid of any unwanted noise around her. She swayed back and forth softly for a while before slowly drifting off to sleep.
Shojoro stepped out of the alley sometime later, his clothes stained with blood. He appeared quite pleased. He reached down and lifted Fluffy before heading up to his room to place her in her bed where she belonged. A quick change of clothes later, he was wathcing a video about snipers before falling asleep to awake the next morning as Shirigana.
Fluffy slowly awoke the next morning, expecting to see humans bustling by in front of her. But instead she saw the bedding that was on top of her mattress. Frowning slightly, she hopped off onto the ground, wondering how she had gotten back here. That other side of Shirigana must have found me and taken me back in, she guessed correctly.
Moving toward the door to go outside, she saw in the full length mirror that she had blood on her fur. Eyes wide, she howled and then furriously began trying to lick the red stuff off of her.
