"Towel Dry."
A half clothed Kyoya wraps his dark green housecoat on over his topless upper abdomen as he has his pants and slippers on. His housecoat barely exposes his upper abdomen as for his lower half of his abdomen is shielded with the knot of his housecoat.
A French attire maid walks into the bathroom to place down some clothes on a rack. There is a white towel on her left arm with a snowman design. She places the nicely folded towel on the silver towel rack. As she leaves the marble white restroom, she sees her employer walking towards the restroom. "Good morning, Master Tategami." She greets with a genuine respectful bow of her cerulean head.
Kyoya walks past her without saying a single greeting as he closes the restroom door behind him. From outside the restroom, the sound of tap water is heard. It makes a hissing sound similar to the sound of sizzling.
Hikaru Hasama takes one step forward to attend to her other maid duties in the massive dark green mansion. At the loud shattering sound of a crash of something within the restroom, Hikaru stops in her tracks and swiftly twirls her body around to face the closed restroom door. Her heart starts to sink in fear of what has happened. As Hikaru reaches her hand out to turn the knob, and slowly opens the door. She gasps at the sight.
There is shattered glass all over the floor from the previously glass shower door. A lone, soaked lion cub is in the tub basin; his deep midnight sapphire eyes stare at her.
"Master Tategami?" Hikaru asks in bewilderment as she carefully walks into the restroom of shattered glass on the bathroom floor. The shattered fragments of broken glass makes a cracking sound beneath her lightweight body figure. Hikaru cautiously tiptoes with her soft footsteps as she walks on and around the shattered glass on the bathroom floor.
Hikaru grabs a towel off the silver towel rack and wraps it around the lion cub's feline body as she picks him up in her arms. "Is that really you, Master Tategami?"
The lion cub lightly meows in response to her question as he leans against her warmth. He is now firmly wrapped in the hundred percent cotton towel's warmth and in the security grasp of Hikaru's arms.
Hikaru cautiously tiptoes out of the restroom, carefully as to not trip over her feet, while she is carrying the lion cub in her arms. Once out of the restroom, Hikaru walks over towards Kyoya's room. As his personal chambers is further down - in the far right corner of the southern side of - the aisle hallway ahead of them.
Once Hikaru approaches her employer's personal chambers, the slightly closed bedroom door is halfway open. She lightly pushes the door more open and enters into the meadow green painted room. Hikaru places the lion cub down on top of a king-size bed with a design of red-and-black-checkered flannel sheets.
"Oh, Master Tategami." Hikaru whispers as she begins to towel dry the lion cub by rubbing her hands over his feline body using the white cotton towel.
The lion cub meows once again.
As she continues to air dry the cub, a light small smile appears on her lips. "I think I'm going to rename you and call you 'Simba' from now on."
The lion cub sneezes with a snort. His meow becomes more aggressive. The sound of his aggressive meow, expresses his annoyance with a different name besides his own original name 'Kyoya Tategami'.
Hikaru lightly giggles to herself as she continues to towel dry him. Now, she has a new pet and he is a lion cub to that she will continue to take care of from now on.
Suddenly, her life - as a mere housemaid - becomes more appealing to her as she now has witnessed Kyoya Tategami's hidden secret.
For a personal mental note, as soon as she is done with towel drying the lion cub. She will sweep up the shattered glass inside the bathroom.
As soon, after that chore is done with sweeping up the mess in the restroom, Hikaru will ask the 'human form' of Kyoya Tategami as to why he can shape-shift to an adorable lion cub.
"I will purchase a bell collar for you. So, that I can always find you." Hikaru told the nearly dry lion cub.
His midnight sapphire eyes gaze at her with compassion in regards to her kindness.
Ekosi.
AN: This is a challenge KTxHH story that my sis, Kingdom's Oathkeeper, suggested to make with a bath scene. It has a real twist that leaves people wanting more. ^.^~ This, of course, is a one-shot. Right now, I'm trying to think of a story for Tihti x Hikaru or Dynamis x Hikaru or King x Hikaru or Aguma x Hikaru.
Please check out my sis, Kingdom's Oathkeeper, chapter 2 for her story 'Skype'. Also check out her AgumaxHikaru 'Winter Encounter'. These two are very sweet stories.
