Tao approached his prey, creeping up behind him. Raising his hands, he attacked. "A-Bam!" he exclaimed, jabbing M21's sensitive sides.

A hybrid of shrieks, yelps, and laughter emerged from M21's mouth as he leaped forward, rubbing at his ticklish sides. "Tao!" But the hacker was already racing across the room. M21's eyes narrowed as he raced after him. Tao could never hope to outrun the werewolf, but he was limber. Just as M21 reached Tao in the hallway, Tao moved out of the way. M21's hands were already descending downward, poking at a poor Regis who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Regis yelped, a snort emerging from his mouth as his ticklish sides were assaulted by M21's sharp nails. "What has gotten into you!?" the young Noble snapped, attempting to recover from his undignified moment.

M21's eyes gleamed, and he looked down at his hands, the very ones that had unintentionally found out Regis' long kept secret. He shot the Noble a mischievous look.

Tao cooed. "Aw, is little Regis ticklish?"

Regis' eyes widened as he realized that he was now trapped with both Tao and M21.

Meanwhile, Takeo was hiding in the safety of his room. Door locked? Check. Dresser in front of the window? Check. Hiding under the bed with his gun? Check. Magazine to keep him busy for the next two hours? Check. Now all he had to do was pray for Regis as he heard the Noble's strangled laughs in the hallway.

"S-stop! Unhand meeee!"

BANG

"HeeHa!"

"Oh~ Tao, it seems you're ticklish too."

Takeo sighed as he flipped through his magazine. He might as well pray for Tao while he was at it.
