Netto looked at his dad with surprise.

"Me, stay with Enzan?" Netto knew this was coming but it didn't make it any less painful.

Yuuichirou nodded. "You can't stay home unless you wish to explain things to your mother and Meiru and this way we can just say you two are on a Net Savior mission together."

Netto decided that made some sense. But still....

Enzan sighed and pulled out his cell phone. "Hello, will you send down a car to pick me up." Enzan nodded and then hung up.

Yuuichirou smiled. "See? It's all taken care of. Netto-kun, I want you to be patient. Untill the Neko-virus is recaptured or found you won't be able to return to your original form. Understand?"

Netto nodded sullenly.

Yuuichirou dropped down to Netto's eye level. "It will be fine, this is just a minor accident, as long as it's not life threatening then you will be perfectly fine, I promise."

Netto looked at him with bigger-than-usual brown eyes. "Really?"

"Un."

Enzan looked out the window and announced coldly "The ride is here."

"Papa?"

"I'll come visit you when I can." Yuuichirou put his hand on Netto's head then retreated into his lab.

"Put on your things and follow me." Said Enzan

"Jeez, did you drink your coffee cold this morning or something?" muttered Netto

"Actually, yes, I did. However I just wish to get home as soon as possible seeing as how I have a meeting in the next hour and I wish to get there."

Netto blushed as he got into the car and Rockman giggled.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Netto walked into the mansion with apprehension. He was amazed by the sheer size of it, it seemed that whoever was in charge of the house like to flaunt their wealth almost as much as Yaito.

"If it's servants you're worried about don't. This house is run completely on programs and Blues."

"Saaa...." Netto looked around at the huge mansion, whose interior was even more impressive than the exterior.

Enzan walked up behind Netto and pulled off the hat. Before Netto could protest he said "That doesn't look very comfortable and I want you to know you're safe in here. Now I must go. I will be back in a few hours."

He then turned around and went back into the rain.

"I feel like a little kid being dropped off at the babysitters." Netto muttered

Rockman laughed, the sound filling the huge empty hall.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

In about 5 hours Enzan returned home. He called out for the brunette and received no answer. Enzan sighed and went up stairs calling out his name again. After this he called out Rockman's name and still received no answer. Starting to feel a bit panicked he plugged in Blues and asked him to search the premises.

"Enzan-sama, I have located Netto-san." Said Blues 5 minutes later with the barest hint of amusement in his voice.

"Thank goodness. I thought he'd already gotten into trouble."

"He is upstairs in the third guest bedroom on the left hand side."

"But I called up there. Didn't he hear me?"

"I believe you should go look for yourself, Enzan-sama."

Enzan looked at Blues and gave his own half grin. "This will be interesting if you're this amused."

Blues ducked his head and disappeared into the link. There he found Rockman in sleep mode in the computer.

"Rockman, wake up." Rockman opened his eyes and stood up. "Ahh, you're back. Netto-kun will be happy, he's been complaining all day."

Blues just pointed out of the monitor.

Rockman looked and started laughing for what seemed the hundredth time that day.

Just then Enzan came into the room and looked in. A broad grin graced his lips as he fought down laughter.

In the very center of the bed, curled up in tightly around a ball of yarn was Netto.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Three days had passed since Netto's new living arrangements and needless to say, he was bored.

Bored enough to do his homework with out Rockman telling him too.

Bored enough to attempt to sneak out on numerous occasions.

Bored enough to even to prank Enzan.

Which included three bags of flour, a scheming Netto, a rainy day, a wet Enzan and lastly a wet and covered-in-flour Enzan chasing Netto through the house.

The latter did not work out at all, in fact Netto hid in his room for a good 12 hours before he got the courage to use the bathroom.

Which presented another problem, Netto's newly acquired fear of water.

Not that Netto didn't wash him self, he did in fact do a pretty good job of it. Partially because of his cat side, he spent about an hour every morning in the bathroom cleaning him self at the wash basin. However it bothered Enzan that he hadn't taken a shower in three days.

He took one the first night he was there and shivered in his room all night to the point where Enzan actually felt sorry for him.

But now all his sympathy was gone and partially in a need for vengeance, Enzan came up with a plot to get Netto into the shower.

Netto came downstairs one morning and saw Enzan reading a book. He looked over his shoulder curiously to see what he was reading. But before any words could be made out Enzan shut the book with a snap and glared at Netto.

"Heh, still mad about the flour thing?"

Enzan gave a wide, poisonous grin and looked at Netto with his hard blue eyes. "No, of course not. I am the vice-president of IPC and as such I rise above being pranked."

Netto took one look at Enzan and slowly backed out of the room.

"He's still mad isn't he nii-san?" he asked Rockman when he was back upstairs.

"Netto-kun, that was a bad idea. And I told you that about a hundred times before Enzan got home. You live with the consequences, not me."

"You're mean."

"I'm also not stupid."

"HEY!"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Downstairs Enzan grinned reading his book, not hearing anything but his own thoughts untill Blues came in from his daily e-mail check. He took one look at the book Enzan was reading and sighed.

"Enzan-sama, if I may. This is below you." He stated

"I don't care Blues. First of all, this has to be done. Second of all, I can think of no other way. Lastly, I want some kind of revenge."

"Still, that is a bit harsh." Said Blues, worried.

"I see no other way." Said Enzan, his tone signifying the end of the conversation.

Blues sighed and prepared to leave the link. "Blues, if you're going to Net-city, please take Rockman with you. I do not wish for this to affect him as well."

"Very well, Enzan-sama." And with that said he disappeared from the link.

Enzan put the book down and walked over to the base of the stairs. "Netto, time for dinner!" he called

Netto sighed and got ready to go downstairs. After he left the room Blues came into the computer and landed next to Rockman.

"I'm going to Net-City. Would you like to come with me?"

Rockman looked at him warily. "What's Enzan planning?" he asked

"Nothing dangerous, but if you don't want your systems to be affected I suggest you come."

Rockman groaned. "I told Netto-kin that was a bad idea!"

Blues' only reply was a grin as he pixilated out into the net.

Rockman sighed and followed, filled with a sense of foreboding.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Downstairs, Enzan and Netto both ate in silence. Enzan continued to read his book as he ate the lentil soup that was for dinner.

Netto awkwardly ate and sighed. He told Enzan he was sorry, what more did he want? Some people just didn't know how to take jokes.

After dinner Netto got ready to go back upstairs.

"Wait, Netto!" Enzan called from down the hall, holding something in his hands. He walked over to Netto and tossed a round object to him grinning. "I think you forgot this in the living room." He said

Netto looked at the object and saw it was the ball of yarn he had found on his first day in the mansion. He blushed furiously and went up stairs without a word.

Enzan continued to grin and quietly followed Netto upstairs.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Upstairs, Netto was idly playing with the yarn ball. He was on the bed and the yarn was on the floor and he was rolling it back and forth along the ground. After a minute he noticed a faint odor coming from the yarn, it almost smelled like mint. Feeling somewhat giddy he crouched on the bed and pounced on the ball.

The yarn bounced away from him and in another surge of energy, Netto bounded after it on all fours. He batted at it and pounced on it, as it slowly unraveled. Enzan had to fight to keep down his laughter while watching the spectacle, lest he give his position and possibly his plot away to Netto.

After 10 minutes of the pouncing, Netto's room was a mess. The cover was off the bed and there was a faint minty odor in the air. The yarn ball was completely unraveled, in the center of the room, unable to move, see straight or even think clearly was Netto.

Enzan laughed and came into the room. Netto dimly realizing what had happened did the only thing he could do, glare. This made Enzan laugh even harder. Then he went over to Netto and started to untangle him from the yarn and picked him up.

Netto struggled but couldn't break Enzan's grip. Enzan shifted his hold on Netto and pulled the last of the yarn from his body.

"You knew this was coming." Said Enzan

"Enzan, I swear..." Netto tried to find the words to say but they were lost in his muddled thoughts.

"Come on, you're taking a bath."

Netto started to struggle but Enzan's grip help firm and he carried him out of the room. He went over to his room and put Netto on the bed. When Netto heard the sound of running water he put his ears back to block out the sound.

Enzan came back into the room and sighed. He knew this part would be awkward but if he waited too long the effects of the cat nip would wear off.

He reached down and pulled off Netto's bandana, then his vest and shirt. He left on his shorts because there was no way that was going to happen. Netto actually looked grateful when Enzan picked him back up and went towards the bathroom. Netto's and Enzan's faces were an equal shade of red.

But Netto's was replaced by white as they went into the bathroom. The cat nip didn't last quite as long as Enzan was hoping and Netto's strength was returning. Quickly he carried the boy to the huge tub and dumped him in. With a yelp Netto went tumbling into the water. Still affected by the drug, he was unable to keep his head above water and he sunk in the huge tub. Enzan reached down and pulled him up. Glaring at him through his sodden bangs Netto decided then and there that Enzan would die soon.

10 minutes later Enzan had managed to get Netto clean as well as him self and most of the bathroom. The small flood was most helpful in the floor cleaning. Enzan and Netto were down to a glaring match. Enzan has his hands on Netto's shoulders and nothing to loose at this point.

"You wouldn't dare." Hissed Netto

Enzan's response was to dunk the younger boy under the water. After 10 seconds Netto came up sputtering and coughing but quite clean and rinsed off.

Enzan pulled Netto out of the tub and after much cursing, yelling and growling on both sides Netto was in bed and Enzan was...... exhausted.

He looked at the now half asleep Netto and sighed. Maybe Blues was right, this wasn't such a good idea after all.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Rockman and Blues came back about a half hour later to see the upstairs looking something like a war zone. The yarn ball room was still in a shambles. There was water EVERYWHERE including the ceiling. The bathroom was so disastrous that Blues and Rockman were slightly worried about their Net Ops. They found them both curled up next to each other in Enzan's bed fast asleep.

Rockman gave a grin of relief and Blues sighed. Then he started up the robot cleaning crew to get rid of the mess before Enzan woke up.

One of the first things he did was hide the book Enzan had been reading.

"Ne Blues?"

"Yes, Rockman?"

"Just what was that book anyway?"

Blues smiled. "Enzan-sama was reading a book on cat care."

Rockman laughed. "I hope Netto-kun never finds that out."
