Morning, Yakumo family home, Ran's PoV:
All nine of my tails were drooping as far as they could at my failing, not that they could droop much due to how fluffy they were. I had failed my master, even if due to unforseen factors. To make matters worse, the afore mentioned factor was my own shikigami, thus making it doubly my fault! And to make matters worse still, I couldn't even clean up the mess myself. I've been a horribly bad pet...
Noticing my ears droop, Yukari chose now to pat my head, causing them to perk back up. "Ran, you musn't beat yourself up over that so much... Yes, you failed..." Once more my ears drooped. "...But you still tried your best, and carried out my orders to the tee."
"But Master, Chen-" I suddenly felt a finger on my lips, silencing me.
"But nothing; Chen is still a young youkai, and will learn with time." Master's words were enough to lessen my guilt, if only slightly.
I let out a sigh, before replying, "Yes, Master."
As suddenly as it had come, Master's smile faded. "However, what I am a bit dissapointed in is your response to the situation. Blushing so hard that you cover the floors with blood in of itself is not so terribly bad, but to force the clean-up upon Chen and I?"
"I... I appologise, Master." I looked to the floor in shame.
Before long, the hard look I was recieving from my Master faded away. "Good! Now, do the same for the outsider who was injured in a rather painful way~" As I looked up, she closed her fan, and made the floor to drop out from under me.
You would think that by now I would be used to such things, what with having been with master ever since I was a little kit. Now that I think about it, I suppose I'm nearing my thousandth winter. These were the things I was thinking about, after I had calmed my self from the sudden drop into the rest of our home. I never have been particularly good with sudden falls, you see.
Early morning, The next day, Yakumo family home, Ran's PoV:
Throughout our home, and quite easily audiable to my ears, I could hear a number of feminine and not-so-feminine snores. I have a feeling I know the owner of the noisy, annoyingly loud one. ...Actually, for all I knew, they all belonged to my Master, what with what she has power over. While thanking my sealing hat for dampening the loud noises, I padded through the carpeted halls, making my way to Chen's room.
It wasn't long untill the carpeted flooring gave way to shiny wooden floors, and not much longer at all untill I had reached my Chen's room. I opened the western-style door, and looked inside. Greeting me were a number of cats, which all ran past me, and lept out of an open window. ...I'll need to have a talk with Chen about having sleep-overs without asking. ...Again.
Now with the distracting stampeed of cats gone, I entered the room, looking to the cardboard box that chen likes to sleep in; we gave her a bed, and yet she insists on sleeping in that box... I doubt I'll ever understand the mind of a cat, but atleast it's better than when she would sleep under her bed.
"Chen, it is time to... Ohh?" I found her to not be in said box, nor in the room at all. It seems that she had given me a pleasant surprise by way of waking up on her own! I'll need to praise her some time later~
...Wait...
I closed the door, and began to hastily make my way towards the guest room in which the outsider was staying; if Chen wasn't in her room, what if she had done the same as the day before? I gave her quite specific instructions to not do as such, but what if she defied me...? I know that master can be forgiving, but she gets less so with repeated failure, and an entire magnitude less so when it came to disobeying direct orders!
Within a minute I had arived at the western-style do- Wait, wasn't the door an eastern sliding d- No, I musn't get distracted master's sudden urges to redecorate. I opened the now western door, and looked to the futon in which the outsider loudly snored, finding it to lack any adorable balls of fur.
I let out a sigh of relief. Good, Chen followed my orders now that she has some. ...Wait a moment, so the loud snoring is that of the outsider...? I would never have expected them to come from her... ...Although, one wouldn't expect such a sound to come from my Master, either.
As I turned to leave the room, an idea popped into my head. A rather bad one, all things considered.
Going on a sudden desire to find out why Chen enjoys sleeping on the bodies of others, I began to disrobe. Before long, I had my clothes in a neatly folded pile, and had turned into my fox form. My ears twitched about in irriation, as my hat isn't nearly as effective when my head is too small for it. I hope she doesn't wake-up any time soon...
I padded softly across the now tatami floors, which had been wood the day prior, if I wasn't mistaken. I was soon standing beside the girl, watching her small chest rise and lower from inside the futon, a bit of bandaging binding them untill they had fully healed. Although, the odds were quite good that they had healed by now, so doing this should be fine. With my concience cleared, I began to climb atop the girl, and tried a few times to get comfortable.
At first I tried doing as Chen does, but I found I was far too large to curl up on the girl's chest.
Next I tried to Lie sideways, and found it to be too uncomfortable.
Finally, I decided to lie belly down, my legs all stradling her, and with myy muzzle rested between the slight breasts. It wasn't my goal to have such a pillow, but this was quite comfortable. It wasn't long untill I drifted off to sleep, even if I had only truely intended to see how lying on someone could possibly be comfortable.
One hour later, Chen's PoV:
"Maaaashter!" Where's Master...? I can't seem to find her anywhere! Well, in that case, maybe I should say sorry to the outsider! Master did say that what I did was bad...
My lip quivered for a split-second at the memory, before I banished it away. Right! To the... the... ...Where would she be right now...? I know, I'll see if she's still sleeping; she seems to sleep in pretty late, a lot of the time! I giggled at how she's more like a cat than me, before moving on.
I began to siliently bound down the hall, being careful not to scratch the floors with my toe-claws, as Master always seems to get mad when I do that. I giggled at the memories of when I was just a cat, and smiled fondly of all the pettings I was given. I love when either of my masters show their love for me. ...Plus, I didn't have to worry about my claws hurting the floor... Kinda miss those days...
Once there, I slid the eastern-style door open, peering inside. My eyes went wide at what I saw, and I covered my eyes ineffectively with my hands, with gaps between my fingers just large enough to see Master Ran lying atop the outsider in her humany form; her clothes were folded in a neat pile to the side, and she looked much like she was embracing a lover, not that I truely understood such a thing. To me it just looked like something I usually would have been kept from seeing, and so it was both embarassing and a bit... I'm not sure what this odd feeling is, actually.
"M-mashter...?" ...Isn't she doing what I was doing, kinda...? Master's being a bad girl...
Upon hearing me voice, A pair of bunny and fox ears both twitched at once, and the pair in the rather deceptively naughty position began to wake-up. Master tried to rub the sleep from her eyes, but ended up missing and rubbing one of the bunny's tiny breasts. Blinking at the failure to connect with her face, she looked up. The bunny-girl was looking down at her, her face as red as a tomato; waking up with woman on top of you tends to do that, and doubly so when they are in the nude. It wasn't long untill Master shot off of the outsider, her own blush as bright as can be.
The outsider couldn't help but ask a rather obvious question at this point. "U-umm... W-why were you...?" She couldn't manage to finish the question, due to the expected implications of it. It also didn't help in the least that the entire chest of her borrowed night-gown was soaking wet with drool, and clung to her quite well. Luckily for her it wasn't a light color.
Her own face just as red, Ran pleaded, "I did nothing that is unforgivable; I simply was made curious by a cat! Please forgive me, outsider!" Ohhhh, so that's why she was doing it...
Just as zippily as she had shot off of outsider, Master began to bow on the ground. She was doing it far too hard and fast, her head ended up colliding with the floor, and her head bounced back onto the poor once-human. This time, her face landed on that of the outsider; the rabbit's eyes went wide when their lips connected, and she began to beat on Master untill it had become apparant that Master had actually knocked herself out.
A/N: Well, my plans of daily updates are going well thus far!
A/N2: Ohhhhh, it was at the end of the chapter! Jeez, stop doing that, me...
A/N: Roger that, me!
Y/N2: Must you talk with yourself...?
A/N2: Well, the joke called for it! Ohh, and for those reading this, I seriously had a hard time making a chapter out of this chapter! Be aware of this, when you wonder why it was still so very awkwardly done. I did what I could...
