An Unexpected Haunting

A christmas gift/contest prize for

As she searched through the old manor, Yakashi Aterasu, ghost hunter, descended deeper into its dusty corridors.   The floor creaked around her and odd lights glowed through the paper walls.  She felt a strange presence of affecting her, as if a spirit were attempting to possess her.  What was actually happening turned out to be far stranger as the whispered laughter of the nekomata danced around her...

The nekomata, sometimes called the bakeneko, depending on the translation, is a japanese youkai (a demon/nature spirit) in the form of a two-tailed cat.  They were often shapeshifters and tricksters.  It seemed a fitting creature to affect Yakashi. 

I've drawn Yakashi before, but not as a TF.  You can see her here: kathalia.deviantart.com/art/Ar… and read about her here: sonicinterface.deviantart.com/…
