The Night Before and the Morning After

HI! Thank you very much for your kind words! So sorry for the late update...my finals were coming up...however, they are now OVER! YA-HA! XDXD. Once again, this chapter is dedicated to my wonderful sister/beta reader! XD ENJOY!

*BREAK*BREAK*BREAK*BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK*

Recap: Ryoma is now staying with Hiruma in his apartment, due to the manipulations from both her and Hiruma's grandfathers'. In addition, she also has to sleep in the same bed as Hiruma, who is looking VERY much forward to it. One of Hiruma's grandfather's assistant/bodyguard, named 'Blue' came over with Ryoma's luggage and helped tidy up Hiruma's apartment. Hiruma not happy over his privacy being invaded like this but does mind a few opportunities to convince his fiancé to indulge in certain activities. (Kekekekekkekekeke..after all, Hiruma is a young hot-blooded male who is *looks around. Whispers very softly* in love with his fiancé! *get shot at* Eek! H: were you saying something f**king author? Me: Who? Me? *looks innocent* Ryoma: Aww, Youichi! You love me! (hugs Hiruma) Hiruma glares. ) OK LETS GET BACK TO THE STORY BEFORE Hiruma decides to end my existence)

*BREAK*BREAK*BREAK*BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK*

Ryoma stared at the mirror as she brushed her teeth in preparation for bed. 'I can't believe I have to share a bed with that demon!' Shivering at the thoughts on what Hiruma was planning for her, she began to plan her next choice of action. 'Hmm, Youichi loves bets and making deals...maybe I could use that to my advantage?' With these thoughts in mind, she started to change into her bedclothes, after she made sure the door was locked. She wouldn't put it pass Hiruma to "accidently" barge into the bathroom to *cough*spy*cough* on her.

*BREAK*BREAK*BREAK*BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK**BREAK*

Ryoma's thoughts were completely justified as Hiruma stood scowling at the bathroom door. He scowled at the locked door as he debated on using his flamethrower to burn the door down or should he pick the lock. However, Hiruma knew that if he did any of the above action, he would get tennis balls thrown at his head. Suddenly, a light bulb lit up in his head, cackling maniacally, Hiruma began to plot ways to seduce his princess. After all, why bother to spy on her in the bathroom when he could have her naked in his arms in HIS BED! A huge wide grin broke out on his face as various scenarios went through his mind. Yes, a much better solution but first things, first, he needed to get her out off the bathroom.

Hiruma looked up when he heard the soft click of the bathroom door, signalling that Ryoma was done preparing herself for bed. Hiruma's eyes widened as they took in Ryoma's slender form. Ryoma was wearing one of Hiruma's old Devil Bat t-shirts and short pants. He eyed her exposed shoulder with growing desire, resisting the urge to grab her and nibble her neck, marking her for the whole world to see that she belonged to him!

"Oi, baka demon! What are you staring at?" Ryoma looked at Hiruma, smirking as she eyed his slightly muscular form in appreciation. Hiruma was wearing nothing but his boxers that revealed his naked chest to Ryoma's eyes. Her smirk faltered when Hiruma raised his eyes to meet hers, the heated look he gave her, made her lick her lips in anticipation of a kiss. Her body tensed as Hiruma walked towards her. She raised her head slightly to maintain eye contact with him when he was close...really close to her.

Hiruma rested his hands on her hips, smirking at the look on her face before he pushed her gently to the side and then entered the bathroom. "It's about f**kin' time you came out!" was his parting remark.

Now it was Ryoma's turn to stare at the bathroom door, in surprise, not only at Hiruma but at herself. Her stupid traitorous body! She mentally berated herself for being distracted! She was supposed to be resisting him! Not turn into a limp doll for him to play with! Her virginity was at stake here! A soft mew broke her out of her thoughts. Bending down, she picked up Karupin into her arms and hugged her gently as she made her way to the bed.

Ryoma snuggled under the blankets, with Karupin next to her and closed her eyes, only to open them again when she heard Hiruma cursing.

"F**king princess, what is your damn cat doing on MY bed?"

Sitting up, she replied, "Karupin ALWAYS sleeps with me! Whether you like it or not, she's staying!"

Hiruma stared at her and then stared at the cat. "Keh! Not even Cerberus sleeps with me! He sleeps on the ground WHERE HE SHOULD BE!" Pointing at Cerberus was lying on his designated doggie bed at the foot of the bed. Glaring at her, Hiruma could see from her face that there was no way the damned cat was leaving the bed. Swearing under his breath, Hiruma stomped towards a cupboard and pulled out a kitty bed from it.

"Will this suffice?" Hiruma asked as he placed the kitty bed next to Cerberus' doggie bed. Ryoma watched Karupin inspect her new bed and smiled when she saw her precious pet give her meow of approval.

"Karupin likes her bed. She also says thank you for the toy." Ryoma nodded towards the toy mouse which was also in the kitty bed. Hiruma rolled his eyes at her. "Keh, just didn't want your damn cat shedding all over my bed!"

Karupin glared balefully at Hiruma. 'Don't think this bribery will let me allow your perverted self anywhere NEAR my mistress!'

Cerberus growled at Karupin. 'Oh please! Your mistress should be honoured that my master wants to mate with her!

'Hmph! Silence you filthy mutt! Obviously, the phrase 'like master, like pet' describes the two of you perfectly, your master has no brains JUST LIKE YOU! Seeing as my beloved mistress does not wish to mate with your stupid master' Karupin sneered at Cerberus before starting to play with her new cat toy.

Cerberus snarled at Karupin before leaping on her to snatch away the toy mouse. 'Since you don't give a f**king damn about my master, then you don't deserve anything from him!' With that said, Cerberus ran out of the room with Karupin at his heels.

'Give me back MY toy YOU MANGY MUTT!'

Hiruma smirked as he shut and locked the bedroom door, mentally praising his pet for distracting the cat.

Ryoma stared at the closed door, blinking in shock. Shaking her head, she could only sigh at Karupin and Cerberus' friendship. Still looking at the door, "I'm glad Karupin and Cerberus get along fine"

Hiruma smirked, "Yeah, yeah whatever princess." His smirk grew when he saw her jump when he got onto the bed. Hiruma attempted to peel back the blanket so he could get under them only to discover that he couldn't. Scowling at Ryoma, "What the f**k? Let go of the blankets! Its' MY bed and I want to sleep!"

"Yadda! Go get your own!"

"Blue's using the other one since he's crashing on my couch! So, LET GO!" Hiruma tugged harder at the blankets which Ryoma held onto tightly. "Yadda!"

Ryoma's smirk of triumph when Hiruma let go of the blankets was short-lived when he suddenly kissed her. "Mhmm." Closing her eyes, she reached up only to pull Hiruma closer and mewled happily when he deepened the kiss. She gave a soft sigh when she felt him caress her body..wait! Caress her body! Pushing him off her, she realised he was now under the blankets.

WHACK!

Hiruma only cackled when he felt her hit his chest. Fuming, Ryoma tried to escape his hold on her.

"No! I'm not having sex with you! Let go!"

"Who the f**k said we were going to have sex? Unless..," Hiruma waggled his eyebrows at her. "The princess wants to! Kekekekeke"

Ryoma ceased her struggles and scowled at him. "Of course I don't want to, demon. I'm tired and I want to sleep!"

Hiruma sighed. "Then sleep!" With that said Hiruma lay down beside her and closed his eyes. (He was still holding her against him!)

Ryoma looked suspiciously at him. She was STILL in his arms, with her head tucked under his chin. Closing her eyes, she savoured the heat that rose from his body and buried her nose into his chest. Hiruma smelled like grass, gunpowder and gun oil. This was the scent that Ryoma had come to associate Hiruma with. Wrapping her arms around him, she snuggled close to him.

Hiruma was mentally counting. 5...4...3...2...

"I'm sorry Youichi." Bingo!

"Keh! For what? Taking out your stress on me?"

Hiruma felt her nod against him. "Keh! Ji-ji told me, your Toshi ji-san insisted you attend Seigaku High as a female. He refused for you to cross dress again."

Ryoma looked up at him and giggled. "Youichi knows me very well! I'm upset because now I can't join the boys' tennis team anymore! ALL the good opponents are the BOYS! And also.."

"And also?" Hiruma urged her to continue while rubbing her back.

Ryoma sighed. " I'm sacred sempai-tachi would be mad at me for not telling them I was a girl...We went to the Nationals together and the whole time I lied to them and hid my true gender." Ryoma looked up at Hiruma, "Do you think they'll hate me?"

Scoffing, Hiruma looked into her eyes, "Who f**king cares what they think? If they make a fuss, then change schools! Rikkadai or Hyotei wouldn't give a flying f**k whether you're a girl or not!"

Ryoma smiled at Hiruma. "Thanks Youichi. But I still wanna play tennis with sempai-tachi again!"

"Just go to sleep, f**king princess! You can still play with them...just not on the same team."

Ryoma closed her eyes. "I still hope they won't hate me though" Came her soft reply. Within 5 minutes she was asleep. Hiruma stared at the opposite wall in contemplation while stroking her hair. Soon, he was asleep.

In the morning

Pi. Pi. Pi. Pi. Smash!

Hiruma grumbled as he glared at the alarm clock. 'F**king clock!' Unlike his fiancé, Hiruma was able to get up early in the mornings. (After all, early to rise, more illegal activities to plot!)

Hiruma smirked at the sleeping figure in his bed, which made soft protests against his movements. 'Kekeke, her guard is down! Here's my chance!'

Slowly and carefully, he pulled Ryoma closer to him. His evil smirk grew when she continued to sleep. Encouraged, he gently kissed her lips as he ran his hands up her body and cupped her breasts. Ryoma arched up slightly in her sleep, moaning softly. "Youichi..." Blearily, she opened her eyes and at that moment, Hiruma attacked! A soft cry escaped her lips when Hiruma kissed her hard on the lips. Brain still half-asleep, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, deepening the kiss.

She gasped when Hiruma squeezed her breasts and taking advantage of her opened mouth, Hiruma slipped his tongue into his mouth. Both tongues then began a battle of dominance. Hiruma was about to slip his hands under Ryoma's shirt when he felt sharp claws on his back.

"What the f**k?" He swore as he broke apart from Ryoma. Turning around, he peeled Karupin off his back. Ryoma snapped out of her daze when she heard her precious cat's yowls.

Whack! Ryoma hit the back of Hiruma's head. "Baka demon! Let go! You're hurting her!" Gathering Karupin in her arms, she cuddled her cat.

Hiruma glared at the cat. No, it was a demon cat, in his book! In about 10 minutes, he would have a topless Ryoma in his arms. Wait! Wasn't Cerberus supposed to keep that damn cat away? And didn't he lock and shut the door?

Hiruma then noticed that the room window was open. Looking at Karupin again, he scowled at the smug cat. Damn cat!

Kitty thoughts: YES! I managed to protect my beloved mistress from that pervert! Take that you perverted demon!

Still scowling at the cat, Hiruma looked at the time. "Oi, f**king princess, if you don't hurry, you're gonna be late!"

Ryoma paused and glanced at the clock. "Shit! I'm going to be late!" Within 5 minutes she was ready. Glaring at Hiruma, "This is your fault! Did you have to get an apartment that requires me to catch the train to get to Seishun High?"

"Keh! It's a 5 minute walk from here to my school! You could always switch schools?"

"NO THANKS! YOUR SCHOOL HAS A LOUSY TENNIS TEAM!" was Ryoma's reply. Hiruma just keh-ed and tossed her a card. "For train. Show it to the conductor if he asks for it."

Ryoma looked at the card and looked at Hiruma again. "You know what? I don't want to know about it!" It was the typical train pass but with only one difference. It had Hiruma's stamp on it. (You know the devil Hiruma face. I'm not sure whether any of you recall it?) Ryoma placed the card in her skirt pocket, grabbed her bag and dashed off to school, waving to Blue as she left.

Blue looked at Hiruma who was standing in the bedroom's doorway, smirking. "Admit it Youichi-bochan. You're happy she's here."

Hiruma looked at Blue with his customary evil grin which was wider than usual. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
