Title: Feline (decided to just stick to this title…xD)

Warnings: Mild Shonen-ai (ok maybe not that mild, just a little, but at least I warned you! So don't say I didn't! Cause I did! xD) language, I think it's safe to say that there's slight nudity on Watanuki's part…? I think, maybe, well if "topless" is considered as nudity, then...8D, and a little bit over board on the FLUFF, so it became Shonen-ai instead…xD hope you don't mind.

Rating: T (still the same reason… and for SHONEN-AI :D, so what if it's not just FLUFF anymore, just this chapter anyway, I think..)

Chapter title: (4)'Kitty' Maid Café; part one

Declaimer: (go back to previous chapters….)

O~O

It's been a week now, and Yuuko-san said…

"If things would go as planned it wouldn't take this long…"

Just what the hell did she meant by that? Wondered our half-feline friend. Watanuki got out of work early, because basically he finished up everything in Yuuko's shop. It was rare that he's finished feeding that witch and her bottomless stomach for sake; let's not forget her little friend. Watanuki sighed and was grateful that the twins weren't such a pain in the butt as those two, most of the time.

Watanuki lay on his couch with his hands at the back of his head, acting as a pillow. Watanuki still couldn't believe that he could be stuck like that for, who knows still when. He was just hoping his boss could whip up that potion she said already so he can go back to his (not so…) normal life, and enjoy it without his cat ears and tail.

Speaking of enjoying, tomorrow's the spring festival. Watanuki thought about what their class was going to do, oh yeah! He suddenly remembered, maid…café… there is a moment of silence in Watanuki's head, well there was until…

"I GET TO SEE HIMAWARI-CHAN IN A MAID COSTUME~!" he chirped and giggled like a high school girl, dancing around his small apartment that he swore that if anyone saw him right then and there he'd die of embarrassment. He sighed with glee and went back to his couch, hugging the small pillow that elevated his feet just moments ago. It was only seven and Watanuki couldn't do anything around his apartment, everything was spick and span, so cleaning was out of the question. He'd already eaten at Yuuko's, so cooking was out of the question as well. Watanuki decided to just take a warm bath. (Which was weird since cats hate water,,, xD)

Watanuki grabbed a towel and turned on the faucet, he set it to not so warm but not so cold and started to take off his t-shirt. He caught a glimpse of his refection on the mirror and saw his right eye, it was gold, eh? Wait a minute, it wasn't supposed to be gold right now, and it was only supposed to be gold if he was an emotional mess. He grinned and shrugged it off, probably when I remembered Himawari-chan. This reminds him that he hasn't removed his glasses yet; he did so and started to strip again. (Watanuki seem to be forgetting something, isn't he?)

)i( Meanwhile….[nya~])i(

Doumeki finished practice and went to drink some tea Watanuki made for him. Actually it was left over from lunch; Watanuki kindly let him finish it. Just when he was peacefully sipping his tea, his right eye showed images, Doumeki decided to spit-take and he choked on his tea. It was Watanuki; it looks like he's preparing to take a bath. Doumeki opened and closed his eyes but nothings working, the vision is still there. He gave up when he saw Watanuki in the mirror, Doumeki saw the seer's almost perfect body, if you don't count the small scars on his waist and one on his shoulder, he was so thin, he seemed well built but still a little skinny, probably from all the running he's been doing. The archer hung his mouth slightly open, he was so white, has hips to die for and legs that can make any girl envious. (I'M thinking of being jealous….xD)

Watanuki looked at himself in the mirror and touched his eye, their eye, and the boy smirked. Doumeki felt a sinking feeling on the pit of his stomach, and just when the cause of his weird feeling took off his glasses; his eye went back to normal. Doumeki straighten up, shook his head a little and went to practice another half an hour or so, to keep his mind of Watanuki's half naked body.

Doumeki's coach seems to notice him and came to talk, but just when he was about to say 'hi' Doumeki's bow changed course and hit two meters away from its target. The coach thought Doumeki needed time to concentrate so he went off to his own business. Meanwhile Doumeki's bow string snapped from his last shot and his face was feeling a little hotter than it should be. Let's face it Watanuki looked…sexy, in that vision he had, especially when he smirked. (^v^, ok, that was supposed to be 'seductive' but I figured it was a little too much, so I changed it, xD.)

)i( The next Day… )i(

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEH?! Y-you w-want me t-to do what??"

"Please Watanuki-kun, Kunogi-san is absent and we're short on waitresses." Pleaded Watanuki's classmate.

"B-B-B-But why me??" and why is my little Himawari-chan absent today?? He silently wept.

"Because the waiters, or rather butlers, are more than enough! And the waitresses, or better placed, maids, are outnumbered." Sure that's what Watanuki thought the girl said but what she really wanted to say was, "Because! Watanuki-kun, you're the most feminine looking among all the guys here!"

"Eh, urk…"

"Watanuki-kuuuun~" she said, and pleaded once more, she even used puppy eyes, and Watanuki was a sucker for girls that plead with that look. He just couldn't say no to a girl in need, especially now that she was doing the puppy eyes. Watanuki couldn't resist, it was in his nature to help those in need, he just couldn't say that one word!

"Alright…" agreed Watanuki in defeat and hung his head. And his classmate seems to be happy now, and called her other friends.

"OK GIRLS! He said yes! Please help him with his costume!" she ordered. And her 'back-up' seem to be eager and two of them grabbed Watanuki by the arms while the other two brought the costume, makeup, and everything they think they would need. They dashed down the hall and passed my Doumeki, who was also on the way to the dressing room. Doumeki noticed that Watanuki was the one who was being dragged down the hall screaming; "HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!" but sadly he can't help him with those girls.

As soon as Doumeki got to the changing room it was marked 'Do Not Enter' and some cries and screams could be slightly heard behind the door, probably from the seer, but as much as Doumeki wanted to help him, he just simply can't. Doumeki decided to change in his club's dressing room instead.

Half an (agonizing) hour later, Watanuki was finally clad in a maid's costume. It seemed to be custom made, and why did it fit so comfortably on him? Watanuki's cheeks went pink. The girls went 'aw' and complemented him about being so much cuter in a dress than in normal boys' clothes. "Watanuki-kun, it suits you so much!" they said in chorus. One of the girls spoke and said "One last thing Watanuki-kun." "Great, there's more?" She held out cat ears and a tail. "We received a message that the café is now a 'Kitty Maid Café'…" they smiled; Watanuki was just about ready to cry.

"Watanuki-kun, could you take this off?" she was about to grab the hat that Watanuki was wearing to hide his 'cat features', but he dodged just in time and said. "C-Can I just put it on myself?" The girls shrugged and handed him the props. "Just be back at the classroom in twenty minutes, we're about to open."

They left him alone in the room, staring at his reflection. What the heck am I wearing?? He wondered, his cheeks still flushed. He was wearing black long sleeves with cuffs and the shoulders were slightly puffed, on his collar had a long black bow that dropped to his chest, and the skirt was just above the knee. Watanuki tried to pull the skirt lower but did no good since there was too much to try and cover. And let's not forget the silky apron with a big enough bow tied at the back, it had frilly lining along the shoulder part. The outfit was made complete with the Mary Jane flats (it had half an inch flat heels though…) and knee-high socks.

It WAS supposed to be stockings but Watanuki was white enough so the girls decided in just socks. (Don't ask me how the girls got him in this costume in the first place… they just did, no questions asked…) He had to admit it was pretty cute, but it was for a girl, it's not that he wanted this, he just thought it was…nice.

Not forgetting the head dress, it was part of the maid costume those girls wanted him to wear, aside from the kitty props; he already had those, weather he likes it or not. Watanuki held the hat on his head and looked around; even outside the door, to see if the coast was clear. Seeing that it was, he took off the hat and his ears were revealed and his tail appeared. He placed his hat on the chair beside him and took hold of the head dress. Ears and tail, check, all that's left is the head dress.

Watanuki stared at the frilly head dress for a while and decided to finally put it on. He looked at himself in the mirror again, and to his surprise he looked totally different for some reason. He recalled the girls' comments earlier and his face went scarlet again. He pouted a little but realized, it was nice to take off the hat for the first time outside the shop or his apartment. Speaking of said hat, he needs to put that away somewhere safe, just in case. He grabbed the hat and walked back to the classroom.

On the way to their café decorated room, Watanuki was receiving stares from random students, and was that a teacher? Watanuki felt so embarrassed, he totally forgot that he was going to serve in a café. He better get use to the stares, because he'll be getting more of those when he starts his shift in their darn 'Kitty Maid Café'.

He could hear girls giggling and some guys were whispering, probably about him. Who else? He was the only weird looking one walking down the hall. He decided to sprint the rest of the way towards the 'café'.

As soon as Watanuki got to the door, he slid it open, ran inside and closed the door. This earned him more stares from spectators in the room. Everyone went quiet and stopped whatever it is that they were working on to stare. A moment of embarrassing silence and Watanuki was being fawned over by girls. Watanuki blushed as he heard comments like, 'You are so cute!', 'Your skin is so white, what's your secret?' and all other comments related to his looks. Apparently the boys were just gawking at him, did they even know that he's a boy? I don't think so.

The crowd of girls finally realized that the café wasn't fully decorated just yet, they left Watanuki and back to their work. Watanuki got out of his state of shock and straightened up his costume. When he just about to go help everyone he bumped into something. It didn't feel like a wall, "Oi", well that answered his inner question.

"MY NAME IS NOT OI!!" he hissed quickly, and tail went up as well.

"Hn." Said Doumeki, he was actually in the middle of making the sign for their front. He looked at Watanuki up and down, noticing he wasn't wearing the butler uniform that the boys were assigned to.

"W-What?" asked the shorter boy, noticing Doumeki's stare. Doumeki didn't say a single word, like he usually does, and Watanuki fidgeted and blushed underneath the taller boy's stare. "Look, it's not like I WANTED to do this!" still no response, "They said we were short on maids! And I was just HAPPEN to be the one they picked! No, correction, they FORCED ME! AND STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT, YOU PERVERT!" Watanuki pulled down his skirt seeing as though the archer's eyes were shifting downwards. This, again, didn't really help that much since he had too much to cover.

Doumeki shot back to reality, turned around and went back to his business, which is the forgotten sign. Watanuki 'hmph' and stomped away, anywhere away from that cretin. "Watanuki-kun!" called one of the girls, "We need help on setting the tables, can you help us please?" and Watanuki complied.

Doumeki on the other hand, apparently couldn't concentrate on his 'sign' which was now a mess. "GAH! Doumeki-kun! W-what the-?" said the boy beside him, "Um, uh, could you just help decorate the outside please?" Doumeki gave him the brush and headed outside, shaking the image of a blushing Watanuki off his mind, which didn't really help since now he recalled the vision he had last night.

With that, Doumeki Shizuka, athletic captain of the archery club, bumped his head on the classroom door.

A/N: well, hmmm, this chappie is kind of late huh, ^-^; and I have a bad habit of reading my fic over and OVER again to make sure of the spelling and stuff and can you believe it I still missed a lot, =_=; well, first things first, after I finished writing chapter three I had this MAJOR author's block (yeah I made that up but if it's true then, cool… :D) anyway, I couldn't think of anything for a whole week. But then the night before I did this chapter I had a dream, so I decided to use it in this story, xD in fact the whole café thing was my dream…well this is the first part anyway, but the girls in my dream are a lot different, they keep teasing Watanuki just because everyone likes him more than them, they were SO mean! Well bleh! They STAY in my dream, xD, owh and the next half would be the next chapter. Ahaha, why? Cos I've passed six pages in MS word already, xD I didn't even notice until I typed 'TBC' xD. This chapter (and maybe the next too…) is a little random but hey, it's Humor right? It can be random, I just figured it's time for some DouWata action, ^_~, don't you think?? One last thing, I hope they weren't too out-of-character, and I'm sorry for ANY mistake I may have done in this chapter… :D REVIEWS WOULD (yet again) STILL BE WHOLEHEARTEDLY APPRECIATED…. =^-^= PLEASE DROP ONE.. 8D
