To clear up your confusion, Aoi and Sakae are two different persons to begin with. And Aoi is a female and the black cat, she was just disguising herself as Sakae ans met with Ashiya's family (presumably after Sakae's death). Sakae has blond hair and golden eyes while Aoi has black hair I guess? The boy in the picture is the one who lived in the demon house and im guessing Aoi stayed there as their pet for a period of time while she was still alive?

wait got confuse. when yahiko turned into sakae he shows a black haired kid but hanaes mom said that he looked like itsuki and when he shows up in the sasa-demon event he has blond hair and gloden eyes. aoi is a black cat and when hanae recalls abt his dad coming back it was aoi in person and i recall that the picture hanae is holding is aois human form. then who is the blond kid holding the black cat and the picture aoi with same cat. the story really makes me hooked up.
