CHAPTER 10

"Usagi-saaan! Breakfast's ready!" Misaki called out as he set the table for them to eat.

No answer.

Misaki sighed, his cat ears twitching slightly with annoyance, and started to make his way towards the stairs to get the lazy writer out of bed…but something on the coffee table caught his eye, something he had failed to notice before- a stack of pink books. Misaki froze in his tracks, immediately frowning. It better not be what I think it is…

He reluctantly walked towards the suspicious books. Misaki picked up a particular one and his face turned a bright shade of crimson when he saw what was on the cover.

Two lover's in a intimate embrace. Ears and tail of a cat, Maid costume.

With trembling hands, Misaki opened the book and began to read it, curious how his privacy had been slandered this time…

"Akihiko-san…" Misaki said softly and kneeled beside Akihiko and grabbed the man's hand, holding it in his own as he stared up at the man with love in his eyes. "I am just a lowly maid…I wish to do all I can to bring you happiness. Please, how may I serve you?"

Akihiko smirked, "Oh, Misaki…you are so very wrong. You don't need to do anything for me, it is instead what I can do for you." He slowly reached out, "Misaki, I want to touch you…May I?"

Blushing, the boy nodded, "It would be an honor to be touched by Akihiko-san."

Akihiko's smirk widened and his fingers wrapped around the long slender tail, groping it. The maid moaned in pleasure and closed his eyes, blushing and panting. "Ahhh…ahhhh…oh, oh god!"

"Yes, that's it…purr for me, little maid" Akihiko murmured and sat him on his lap. He pressed his lips against the boy's, kissing him passionately. He slowly reached down the dress and caressed one oh so beautiful thigh.

"Oh!...Oh, Akihiko-san!"

"Misaki…"

"WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THIS?"

"Morning, Misaki-kun! Here's some kuma cream puffs for you!" Aikawa said, happily walking through the door. The editor put the pastries onto the kitchen counter then froze when she noticed the dark aura surrounding the boy. She frowned for a second but brightened up when she saw the manuscripts lying on the coffee table. "Kyaaaaahhhh~!" she squealed and walked forward, taking the one Misaki was holding- most likely to stop him from ripping it up in a million pieces. She giggled at the cute picture on the cover then sat down on the couch and started reading.

Moments later, Usagi walked downstairs, looking like he was about to drop dead. "Morning"

"Morning, sensei! You've really outdone yourself this time!

Usagi grunted and looked at Misaki who was glaring at him in pure anger. "Misaki?"

Without any warning, the boy suddenly exploded, "That's it! I'm putting green peppers in your food and there's nothing you can do to stop me!"

Misaki huffed then sat at the table and started stuffing his face so he didn't have to talk to his lover. Aikawa and Usagi both blinked in surprise. Then moments later, Usagi looked at the editor, "He read it?"

"He read it" Aikawa confirmed.

Usagi sighed and joined Misaki at the table. "Misaki, I have plans for that maid costume, so don't throw it away"

"W-What plans?" Misaki asked suspiciously.

"You'll find out later" Usagi said with a smirk. Misaki rolled his eyes, deciding he didn't really want to know what weird things he had planned.

When breakfast was eaten and the table was cleared, dishes were done and put away and then finally, Misaki grabbed his bag. "W-Well…I'm going to school now."

The boy was nervous, he was positive people would think he was a freak; People would think bad things and make fun of him and other stuff for him having a tail and ears of a cat. Usagi was also worried, but not for those reasons. "Misaki, don't let anyone but me touch your tail or your ears."

"W-What?" Misaki said.

"You are cuter this way. People will be tempted to touch you. Don't let them, that is only for me to do" Usagi said possessively.

Misaki blushed. "Don't be stupid, you pervert! Of course I won't let people touch me!"

"Misaki, I mean it" Usagi growled and he strode over to the boy. He wrapped an arm around his waist, pulling him close. The other hand groped the tail, receiving a moan; the younger man gripped onto the front of his shirt tightly, closing his eyes and blushing in pleasure.

"N-No…Usa-Usagi-san, please…not now…"

"Misaki, I refuse to let anyone else touch these lovely new parts of yours…if I have to give you a pet collar, I will"

Misaki's eyes shot open and he glared up at the man, "P-Pervert! Don't treat me like I'm a thing!"

"I don't want to… but if someone dares to touch my kitten, I will do it," Usagi said. He leaned down and kissed him passionately.

"Mmmph!" Misaki struggled against the kiss, resisting as always. Gasping and panting, he pressed his hands against the man's chest and pushed him away, "U-Usagi-san…calm down, please...I-I have to go to school!"

"I'll drive you" Usagi said. He frowned and sucked on a particular spot on the boy's neck until it left a red mark. Satisfied with that for now, he let the boy go and walked out the door. Misaki shivered at the thought of having to wear a pet collar.

Damn pervert! Just because I have cat parts, that doesn't mean I'm not human anymore! He's not serious, is he? Would he really make me wear a pet collar?

Misaki paused for a second then sighed, "To be honest, I don't think there's anything he won't do…"

The car pulled up by the gates, and Misaki got out. Immediately everyone noticed the change. "U-Um…ok, they're looking at me weird, what do I do?" Misaki said nervously in a small voice.

Usagi frowned. He could already sense lustful gazes aimed towards his beloved. He suddenly got out of the car, "I'm coming with you! I won't leave your side until you're safely inside the school!"

"W-What? No, you don't need to do that! Go home!" Misaki angrily.

Usagi payed no attention to his words and grabbed Misaki's hand, "No. I'll leave when I know you're safe!"

He didn't let Misaki get another word in, he just dragged the boy up into the school, giving a death glare to anyone that dared to look at his Misaki. He held Misaki's hand until he stopped by at Hiroki's office.

Hiroki glared at the sight of them. "Akihiko, what the hell are you doing?"

"Taking Misaki to class"

"Why?"

"He's even cuter now. Too cute…someone will touch them with their dirty, unworthy hands and I'm not risking any chances that I might lose him"

"W-What about me? I have cat parts too and you don't see people jumping me every place you look!"

"But you're not young and adorable; you're just scary and crazy. Why would anyone jump you?"

"…" Hiroki twitched with anger. He wanted to argue more but then Usagi left the office without another word. Hiroki swore, "Damnitt! Fine! Come with me to class, Takahashi!"

"Y-Yes, sir!"
