Thank you to those who reviewed and favourited this, it made made me happy to see that people liked what I'd written :)

Inumuta sighed. He'd been forced to take a break from his post in the Naked Sol. Mikisugi had said how he was 'overworking' himself and how he'd 'probably not slept in days'. Inumuta frowned slightly in frustration. It was true that he hadn't slept or taken any major breaks other than to eat and use the bathroom in the last week but that's because there was no time for it. The defeat of Ragyo Kiryuin was almost in reach (which was much closer than the defeat of the Asylum Demon at this point) meaning there was absolutely no time for slaking off.
Anyhow, there was no point in brooding over it, Mikisugi had said that Inumuta was banned from working until 9:00am the following morning and it was currently 18:34pm. Inumuta had no choice but to resign himself to his 'punishment' for working too hard.
Currently he was sitting alone in the sleeping quarters which he shared with Iori, Sanageyama and Gamagori although none of them were there at the moment. Unlike him, they had not been banned from performing their duties.
He reached into his bag and pulled out his personal laptop. Thankfully Mikisugi was either not aware or had forgotten that he had it with him. He patted its lid apologetically, cringing at the scratch on it. Inumuta prided himself in keeping his precious tech safe and that scratch was like a single late on a spotless permanent record.
Inumuta shifted the laptop on to his lap and got comfortable on his bunk bed. Since he had been forced to take a break he might as well take the opportunity to relax. After all there won't be much time for resting soon so he should relax while he still could. He opened his laptop and switched it on. Once he was on his desktop he wondered what he should do. He sort of felt like playing a game.
Once he'd opened his games library up he began to browse. He didn't want to play anything too intense or rage inducing (he was a little worried about playing something like that again, even if it had provided some interesting data on himself) but something easy and fairly slow. It was then that his eyes rested on one title.
He blushed slightly. It was shameful and outright embarrassing that he had this on his laptop. He'd never admit to owning it even though he enjoyed it perhaps a littlemore than he ought to. He sighed because thinking about it had put him in the mood for it even though this definitely wasn't the appropriate time or place for it. But then again, the others weren't going to be back for a while. I've got time before they get back here. A few hours or so, that's more than enough.
His face was burning, this game was, what one might say, seriously not safe for work. It was one of those kind of games that are fine when you know you're alone however, the others could walk in at any moment. But Inumuta clicked on it anyway. He suppressed a small shudder when he saw the menu screen and blushed even harder. He clicked on the play button and the slightly too familiar scene of a teenage boy's bedroom appeared with a text box at the bottom. Inumuta relaxed and let the story unfold in front of him...

'Hey look at that, first time he's slept in days.'
'Yes, at least we can tell Mikisugi that he's finally getting some rest.'
'Heh, I'm surprised he hasn't harped on at you about that, I mean you hardly ever leave the lab.'
'I go to bed late and wake up early, hence why you never see me, whereas Inumuta just stays up for days on end.'
'Don't wake him you two, he's earned this right to rest.'
Sanageyama, Iori and Gamagori had all entered their shared quarters and seen Inumuta sleeping like a rock on his bunk. The only light in the room was the light seeping in from the hallway, the soft evening sunlight through the window and the glow from Inumuta's laptop, still dutifully sitting on his lap.
Iori frowned when he noticed the laptop was on. 'For goodness sake, I hope he wasn't sneaking in some work, he's meant to be relaxing.' He huffed. 'I suppose I better make sure everything's saved and then turn it off.'
Iori moved further into the room, heading to the bottom bunk next to the window where Inumuta was sleeping. Sanageyama clambered onto his top bunk and Gamagori sat on the bottom.
As Iori set the laptop down the desk, he noticed what was on the screen. He flushed a red that would have shamed a tomato. He started looking around trying to focus on anything in the room that wasn't the laptop screen.
Of course Iori's flustering wasn't unnoticed by the other two boys and Sanageyama hopped down from his bed and tried to walk over to the offending laptop but Iori was stood in front of it and leaned back so Sanageyama couldn't just see over the top of him.
'Dude, come on. Let me see what's so bad, I can sense your embarrassment.' Sanageyama hissed, being mindful not to wake Inumuta, though he hadn't so much as twitched since they'd entered the room.
'No, it wouldn't be fair on Inumuta, it's- it would be embarrassing for him.'
'I want to see.'
'You really don't.'
'Well if you let me see, then I could tell if I regretted it or not!'
'You definitely wou-' Sanageyama decided to sweep Iori aside with his arm and naturally Iori was cast aside with without being able stall the swordsman for a nano second. Stupid, weak body...
'See there we are Iori, now I can see what's so bad. Let's have a look.' Sanageyama hunched over to get a closer look at the screen. 'Oh.'
'I told you it's bad.' Mumbled Iori through his fingers.
'No, I mean I can't see the screen.'
'Huh?'
'Apparently my Shinganstsu doesn't work on screens.' He looked over pointedly at Iori.
'That's not my fault, now is it?' Iori really just wanted to get to bed and wake up in the morning and pretend that he'd never seen that.
Sanageyama huffed and turned back to the screen. 'So, you gonna tell me what's on that thing or what?'
'Absolutely not!'
Gamagori who had so far remained silent up until now turned towards Sanageyama to interject. 'Sanageyama it's not right to invade Inumuta's privacy, leave it alone.'
'Fine, fine I'll drop it for now, but tomorrow you are so telling me what was on that screen, Iori.' The blind man was answered with a whimper from the tailor.
The monkey moved back to the ladder to live up to his nickname and get to bed but almost lost his grip when Gamagori launched himself from the lower bunk.
''The hell Gama?! I almost fell off!'
Now that Sanageyama and Iori had moved away from the laptop, Gamagori had a very clear view of what Iori had been so desperately trying to hide on behalf of his friend. He started marching towards the laptop. This time Iori made no attempt to get in the way. He was no match for Sanageyama so what chance was there to stop Gamagori?
'How could Inumuta look at something so...deviant?' Gamagori's face was starting to match that of Iori's. 'Why does this woman have fox ears and a tail? Is this some kind of porn?' Gamagori waited for an answer from Iori who looked too mortified to speak. He looked back at the screen and noticed the text box. His jaw dropped, is this why Inumuta hates people touching his laptop because he's hiding things like that?
Iori sighed, he felt like if he showed that he knew what was on Inumuta's laptop then that would make him look bad, but then again Gamagori looked just as embarrassed at finding this out about the dog as he was. Is this why he's the dog? Hmm... Iori shook his head and walked over to Gamagori.
'I think that's what is known as a Kitsune girl... I think this is a dating sim...'
'What's a dating si-' Gamagori was cut off by Sanageyama snorting.
'A half naked fox girl? Oh man, this is gonna make for some awesome blackmail material!' He started chuckling.
'Shut up! You're going to wake Inumuta!' Iori hissed, getting more and more worried about his friend waking up in the middle of this.
'Eh whatever, he's like a log, he hasn't even moved since we got here. Even so, maybe it is better if we get to sleep now. Aw man, a half naked fox chick, that's brilliant!'
Iori exited the game, after discovering to his horror that he had to endure the rest of the event scene before being allowed to access the menu, and shut down the laptop.
He sighed in relief and put his hands up to his face. Shaking his head he said 'Inumuta's a good friend of mine and all, but I don't think I can look at him in the same way anymore..'
Gamagori hummed and he and Iori got into their respective bunks and went to sleep.

The following morning Inumuta was sitting in the breakfast hall on his own. The others had told him to go ahead of them. He tried to talk to them but every time he did they would avoid his eyes, except for Sanageyama who looked and spoke like he was trying and slightly failing to hold in his laughter.
He stared at his cereal wondering if he'd done something to upset them. He wasn't great at socialising but he was pretty sure he hadn't said anything that could be construed as offensive. He continued to sit and stare when he heard the chair in front of him move as someone made to sit down.
'Hey Doggie. Guess your allowed out your room now, huh?'
Inumuta looked up to see Jakuzure sitting there with some toast in her hand. 'Hmm? Oh, yeah. Yeah I guess.'
'What's up? You seem kinda distant.'
'Have you spoken to the others yet?'
Jakuzure looked at him, she was about to make fun of him about what they'd told her about the game, but he genuinely looked like he was upset about it. For once, just this once, Jakuzure decided that rather than torment the nerd, she'd help him in some way.
'Yeah..Uh, listen Doggie. Next time you use your laptop, maybe turn it off before you fall asleep.'
THE END
