P.s. If you haven't seen my profile lately, I have started a new Hatsukoi fic called "Always" which will revolve around Yuu. (Blame Egoistfangirl. She got me all worked up that Yuu was single.) So I'm going to be working on both this and that fic now, so sorry if updates are a little more belated. But I'll probably update this one if at all possible since it has the most readers. But anyways, just a heads up if you're wondering where the fuck I am :)
P.p.s Thank you for the reviews! I'll reply to them next chapter I promise! Thank for reading and I love you all!
Chapter Fourteen: Seme Wars
The three semes had found the hidden staircase and gotten into the badger common room in a matter of minutes. (And the irony was not lost on them that it had taken them years to get in here. Well, without trickery and a cake stand.) But once they had gotten into the room and saw the front door swinging open, they nearly banged their heads against the wall for being so rash. As the intelligent thing to do would've been to steak out both entrances so no badgers could escape. But simultaneously, they recognized that now there were three scared little ukes who no longer had a den to hide in. They were on the run, meaning all that needed to be done was to track them down. There were only so many places to hide after all. So after searching every inch of Hufflepuff house and taking a few souvenirs (mainly unmentionables from their ukes' rooms.), they stood in a huddle in the kitchen figuring out their next move.
"I think I've got it," Usagi said. (In between casting lingering glances at the spot on the kitchen floor where the badger christening had taken place. Though he did notice that the floor smelled like it had been soaked in bleach overnight.)
"Not all of the ukes in Hufflepuff are dating Slytherins. And they don't have a reason to hide from us. So if they're not here…"
Takano nodded.
"They're staying in a different house. And that would be the most likely place for our fuckers to hide."
"And even if they aren't there," Kanou added with a smirk. "I'm sure we can get them to give us a little information."
Akihiko returned the smile.
"Right. So let's go to Ravenclaw and see if Yanase's love interest will spill his guts."
Kisa Shouta yawned and stretched his arms as he put away his final textbook for the day. He gratefully slid the giant, boring book onto the coffee table in the Ravenclaw common room, and took out the twenty-second volume of a shoujo he was reading. An aromatic smelled drifted in from another of the rooms, making Kisa's stomach rumble.
"Hey Yoshino," Kisa called to the large table near the other end of the common room. "That smell is heavenly. What's Hatori making you now?"
"Beef stew." Chiaki replied excitedly, his pen tracing a doodle lazily along a piece of scratch paper.
Kisa's mouth watered at the thought.
"God, I wish Hatori-kun would make me food. Though it's a shame he has to cook on that portable stove instead of using you guys' kitchen."
"Yeah," Chiaki smiled. "But Tori's a good cook no matter where he is."
"Fortunately for you," Kisa laughed. "He told me your rice balls were the most disgusting things he's ever tasted."
"Hey now," Chiaki answered. "Everyone knows I hate making rice! But he was right. They were gross. Which is why I have resolved to just have Tori feed me. I will eat but never cook!"
Kisa grinned. Poor Hatori. That man must be as patient as a goddamned rock to put up with this airhead on a regular basis. But still, Hatori did seem a bit happier when Chiaki was around…if incredibly stressed out…
The petite black-hair jerked as a loud pounding came from the front door. He sighed and uncurled his legs, dropping his book on the table as he headed over.
"Is Kamijou back already?" He yawned as his fingers untwisted the lock. Kisa slowly opened the door, but once it was slightly ajar, a hand the size of Memphis shot into the crack and slammed it open, revealing three very huge, very angry Slytherin semes.
Kisa jumped back in fright as his large eyes caught the body language of the three. Even though he was older than all of them, he was wary. As much as Yukina told him constantly that size didn't matter (height wise), in this case, it REALLY FUCKING did.
"Excuse me," Kisa said cautiously. "Can I help you with something?"
"Yes you can." Takano answered in a low, menacing tone.
"Kisa-san, who was at the door—" Chiaki stopped cold and his blue eyes shot open as he saw the three giant semes who were dating his housemates. And upon seeing the dark-haired Hufflepuff, Kanou shot forward and grabbed Chiaki by the wrist, yanking him towards the group.
"WHERE IS AYASE?" Kanou boomed, causing Chiaki to yelp as the giant hand gripped his wrist.
"Hey! Stop it!" Kisa yelled, but his voice went unnoticed.
"ANSWER ME!" Kanou yelled when Chiaki didn't reply. The dark brunette bit his lip and grimaced, struggling to get out of the seme's gorilla grip.
"You heard him," Takano growled. "Where are Takahashi, Yukiya, and Onodera?"
"I—I don't know!" Chiaki cried.
"YES YOU DO!" Kanou screamed. "Tell me or I'll break your arm!"
Chiaki cried out again as the hand tightened like a vice. He struggled harder but couldn't get away.
"Let him go!" Kisa yelled, but to no avail.
"TELL ME!" Kanou ordered.
"T—TORRRIIIII!" Chiaki screamed at the top of his lungs, thrashing to get away.
"Yoshino, what is all that noise—" Hatori stopped dead as he saw Chiaki and the three semes, but his surprise quickly turned to rage as he bolted forward and punched Kanou straight in the face. Kanou dropped Chiaki's hand as he stumbled back and Hatori grabbed his uke by the waist and shoved him out of the way, putting himself between Chiaki and the Slytherins.
"What the fuck do you want!" Hatori snarled in a razor sharp tone that made everyone flinch in fear. Chiaki was already shaking like a leaf and clutching his bruised wrist, but he yelped as he heard the fearsome rage in his lover's voice. He'd never heard Tori talk like that to anyone.
"We want to know where our Hufflepuffs are." Takano hissed back.
Hatori's eyes narrowed.
"They're not here. Get the fuck out."
Kanou stepped forward again, his teeth gritted and his fists clenched.
"Where not leaving until that fucker tells us they are!" He roared, trying to push past Hatori.
"Touch him again and I'll kill you." Hatori snarled back, his tone even but his words slicing like a sharpened blade. Chiaki quivered in fear, but tightly clutched the back of Hatori's shirt.
"Now GET OUT." Hatori commanded, drawing up to his full height and arching his neck threateningly. In spite of their rage at the situation, the Slytherins couldn't help but be the slightest bit impressed. Who knew there was such a powerful seme in Ravenclaw? It was a pity he was standing in their way.
"We just need a little information." Takano replied, his eyes as dark as Hatori's.
"Did you here what he said fuckers? Get out!" A higher pitcher voice called from the other side of the room. Shinobu stalked over and stood next to Hatori, his grey eyes narrowed in defiance and anger.
"Stay out of this Shinobu." Hatori commanded.
Kanou almost laughed as he took in the sight of the Ravenclaw trying to make himself taller and more threatening than he really was. He barked out a laugh which made the honey-blond even more irritated.
"What are you going to do about it little fucker?" Kanou sneered. "Kick me out?"
"You're damn right I will!" Shinobu yelled back, clenching his pale hands. "This isn't fucking Slytherin, it's fucking Ravenclaw and you don't live here so GET THE FUCK OUT—" Shinobu's rant was cut short as Kanou grabbed the front of his tan sweater vest and yanked him off his feet. The blond felt his toes touching nothing but air and the grip of a man four times as big as him ready to pummel him into the floor. Shinobu's air of tenacity immediately flushed out of his body and he quivered as he saw the rage in the seme's eyes.
"Oy, put the brat down before I call the headmaster." A cool voice rang. Kanou's eyes immediately darted to the top of the stairs that led to the bedrooms, where Miyagi was smoking a cigarette. The tall man's body language was casual, but his black eyes held power and control.
Kanou dropped Shinobu unceremoniously and the blond quickly scrambled to his feet and looked over at his savior.
"Miyagi…" His voice creaked out, barely audible.
"Now, I don't see why you three haven't left yet," Miyagi muttered nonchalantly as he walked down the steps. "After all, it's obvious your boyfriends aren't here and we haven't a clue as to where they are, so why don't you get out of our common room before I report you."
The three Slytherins were again taken aback at the hidden strength of this Ravenclaw. Although he lacked the fiery jealously of the first, he clearly was a seme through and through, as much as he tried to cover it.
Shinobu was also in awe as he watched Miyagi calmly but effectively address the intruders. His grey eyes widened in pride and adoration as Miyagi stood face to face with the other semes.
"Miyagi…" He whispered sacredly, almost on the brink of passionate tears.
But even in the face of two very strong Ravenclaw semes, the Slytherins had not lost any of their own tenacity.
"We want answers," Takano snarled slowly. "And if you think we're going to leave before we get them, you've got another thing coming…"
Hatori and Miyagi narrowed their eyes, but said nothing.
"Oy," Akihiko suddenly spoke, as if they were doing something as casual as playing a game of poker. "If this is Ravenclaw, where is Hiroki?"
"He's probably in Gryffindor with his boyfriend." Another low voice spoke from the top of the stairs. In one brief glance from his knowing green eyes, Hisoka had a handle on the situation. He slowly walked over and stood between Hatori and Miyagi, his face calm, but his eyes angry.
"We've already established that we are not going to tell you anything," Hisoka said in a low, even tone. "If you don't leave immediately I'm afraid we will have to use force."
Three pairs of Slytherin eyebrows all shot up as they took in the sight of the five-foot blond who spoke as if he was backed by a basilisk. He wasn't like the snot-nosed blond who barked loudly but had no bite. This Ravenclaw meant every word.
But that didn't mean they believed it.
"If anyone will be using force, it will be me." Kanou smirked, taking a few steps towards Hisoka. The blond narrowed his green eyes and strands of his hair began to lift and float as energy gathered around him in preparation for an offensive force field. Kanou noticed something odd, but he kept going forward with every intention of ripping the kid limb from limb.
"Kanou, let's go."
The gorilla stopped short as he heard Akihiko's cool disinterested voice. He whipped back around and cast an irritated glare as his housemate.
"Why the fuck would I do that?"
"Because," Usagi replied. Kanou snared but as he understood the seme's intentions as he caught Akihiko's sly wink.
"Fine." Kanou snarled as he and Takano whipped around and followed Usagi out the door. Once they were gone, the tension immediately dropped and everyone relaxed. Hatori turned around and took the tearful Chiaki into his arms, trying to comfort the shaking brunette while he took in steady, calming breaths. Shinobu watched longingly as Miyagi retreated back up to his room, but the blond was more determined than ever to win the lover fate had given him.
Hisoka, who was now white-faced and panting, quickly turned to Kisa and said.
"We need to… get to Gryffindor… right away…"
Kisa read between the lines and understood immediately. With a quick glance down the hall, the two Ravenclaws bolted from the tower and headed straight for the house of the lion.
You don't need to see our identification.
These aren't the badgers you're looking for.
Move along.
