PASSION
chapter 5, bunny!Misaki
Warning: self-edited, apologize if there are so much grammar mistakes as I'm not an English speaker /
Misaki was fed up with Saruhiko's game that he refused to go near Scepter 4 Headquarter anymore. He didn't say anything to other HOMRA members and did his usual mission without feeling any guilt at all. He thought maybe if he kept his distance between him and Saruhiko, that cobalt haired monkey would stop doing perverted things every time they met each other. Especially in each house or dorm, like before.
Misaki rolled down the hill near Shizume City after collecting some information about yet another strain. It seemed harmless though because every person he asked always said that the strain only changed your appearance, it didn't kill you. Misaki growled. Hell, last time a strain changed his appearance to wear a girl uniform it could have killed him by its electricity. The strain this time is a girl, they said. Probably fifteen or sixteen. He stopped his skateboard when he reached the bar, went inside and greeted the owner, Kusanagi Izumo. After reporting what he got, he went straight to a vacant room upstairs and slept.
When he woke up, Kusanagi's voice could be heard and the others' too. Everyone was here. Misaki yawned, scratched his back, and stepped downstairs. It was pretty normal to hear them being out loud like this, especially when there was another girl and it doesn't sound like Anna…
Wait.
Another girl?
Misaki stopped and shivered. Oh no, no, no way. He peeked and yes, there was a silver haired girl dancing along with several members. Misaki gripped his shirt tightly. He wanted to go to sleep back again right now. If he went down there, other member would push him to that chick and forced him to talk to her, only to be laughed at because he could only stutter around girls! He was about to turn back to the room when suddenly a voice called him. Damn Kamamoto.
"Yata-san! Come here! There's a girl! A cute one!"
Followed by whistles and a girl's voice, seemed happy at the compliment. Misaki bit his lower lips and cursed his teammate. Then he growled, "Shut up. I want to sleep."
An awkward silence filled the room. Misaki was nervous and took a step back, but then he almost died of shock when a hand just tapped his back out of nowhere. He screamed and felt his heart jumped out from his body. He looked back robotically and if he had cat ears, they were already flattened against his head now. Kusanagi was really angry.
"Yata-chan… You make the lady down there cries, you know…" The grip on his shoulder tightened.
Misaki trembled and gave up. "…I-I-I'll get down there… Ku-Kusanagi-san…"
He tried his hardest not to chicken up and when he got down, he observed the girl sheepishly. She was cute alright, his silver hair grew down touched his waist. Her skin was pale…like Saruhiko's. Oh God. Why he must think about that damn bastard right now? He shook his head and looked back to the girl. She was in the same height as him, maybe shorter, a bit. Misaki lowered his head shyly and greeted her.
The girl giggled and twirled around before she decided to sit on a tall chair near the counter and sipped a drink. Misaki looked at what Kusanagi gave her. It was orange juice. So she was underage. Cutting his mind, the girl suddenly opened up chat.
"So you guys have been searching for me," she said, while she petted the glass.
Misaki frowned. Kamamoto and the others too, while Kusanagi just seemed a bit surprised, but he regained his composure. "You are that strain." It was not a question. Misaki's hazel eyes widened. This girl? A strain?
The girl leaped happily and twirled twice. "Yep! I'm happy you guess it right!" She clapped her hands and smiled. "I thought it'll be saving your time if I just come to you guys."
"You… You're the one that causing trouble…?" Misaki asked.
"Trouble? I don't like that word. Besides, I do it for their good," she scoffed and walked to Misaki. Misaki gasped and he could feel his whole face reddened. A quiet giggle heard from another member of HOMRA behind her. Misaki grunted and averted his gaze. The girl just huffed and stop her action. "I change a person to a certain animal for them to see problems from the animal's perspective," she explained. "It will come off usually several days after they met the source of their problem. So you can see, nobody became an animal for their lifetime whenever I changed them."
"You're right…" Kamamoto nodded. "They didn't turn into a full animal too, right?"
"Yes. I only change half of you. For example, if I turn Kamamoto to a pig," she said with a playful chuckle followed by a pout on Kamamoto's face and laughs from the others, "…Kamamoto's body will stay, only occupied with pig ears and pig tail. But Kamamoto in pig version will love to take mud bath and become super lazy!" She ended the explanation with a big jump in the air.
"I see… But still, your action causes a lot of disadvantages," Kusanagi smiled warmly at the girl. "Not everyone liked being changed into half animal… Although from what I've heard some of them felt quite helped with it."
"Un… I understand… I won't do it again…"
"Better be that way, lady, because if you do that again, Scepter 4 will hunt you down!" Chitose smirked at the girl with scary pose. The girl laughed and played around the guy.
"I heard from another strain, Scepter 4 is an organization which takes care of us strains by catching us, right? They are so naughty," the girl puffed and pouted.
"Well they're doing their job," Kusanagi laughed.
Misaki growled. He didn't like getting in trouble with Scepter 4 for now. He must keep his distance from Saruhiko. Suddenly the strain girl leaped in front of him and grabbed a hold of his hand. Misaki yowled in surprise and stuttered. Kamamoto chuckled.
"W-W-WHAT ARE YOU—?!"
"Easy… Now," the girl licked her lips, "…it's true that I won't do that again… So let me fix your problem up, for my last action."
Before Kusanagi and the others had chance to hold the girl, a strange light covered Misaki. It was a mix of blue and red. Inside the whirl, Misaki was amazed at how beautiful those mix were. He thought that it would be heavenly if he and Saruhiko could mix so well like this. However a strange feeling burst into him as he felt his body became hotter. He looked at his body while the light itself began to fade. He didn't notice fur on his skin, which was good, but thinking the fact that he was changed made him panic.
"W-What…are you changing me into?!" He screamed and let himself go from the girl's hands.
"Look at the mirror, Yatagarasu," she laughed, "…you should go to that cobalt male if you want to change fast… Bye, cute bunny!" She then changed himself fully into a bird and flew off from the opened bar window.
Misaki froze for a second and ran to the bathroom. He could hear other's footsteps followed him. But he didn't care. And he didn't think too much about how that strain knew his nickname. He grabbed the mirror and stared.
And he found bunny ears popped from his head.
A bunny.
Misaki yelled desperately…while his comrades laughed aloud at how he changed…
Damn.
"Yata-chan…forget it, just go out to get breakfast okay?"
"Yata-san…! Umm, you look cute!"
"Stupid, don't say that to him!"
"Misaki… I want to see your bunny ears…and tail…since I wasn't in the bar yesterday…"
"A-Anna, you shouldn't say that either!"
"Yata?"
"Come on, Yata-chan…!"
Misaki covered his head with pillow. It was no use though, since his ears were now long and fluffy. And he couldn't stop his wiggling tail—the tail was white like the ears, shaped like a furry ball. And fluffy. He growled in annoyance and punched the bed several times. Really now? He should go back to Scepter 4? And why did that girl care? It was his problem, not hers! He grunted and rolled over, only to fell off from the bed with a bang at the same time when Kusanagi kicked the door to get in. He looked pissed, but Misaki was also pissed.
"What," Misaki pouted.
"Look, I know you're pissed, but if you reaaally want to change back, you heard what she said. You have to go to Scepter 4, Yata-chan."
"But!"
"No buts. You heard her. And what problem happened between you and Saru this time anyway?"
"Nothing!" Misaki whined desperately. He knew he lied, but… "…nothing…"
Kusanagi sighed. He knew that it was impossible to force Misaki out if he was like this. "Fine, make your decision on your own pace. But for now, breakfast."
"…'kay…"
Misaki walked downstairs. He noticed that some members tried hard not to laugh at his ears and tail. He threatened him with his fiery eyes and sat on the couch. Anna sat beside him and touched the ear. It brought strange sensation which Misaki didn't understand, but he ignored it. Anna looked pleased anyway, so he didn't make fuss about it.
He ate a bowl of soup Kusanagi made and chewed carrots (from the soup) enthusiastically. He was embarrassed when he realized he acted like that because he was now a bunny, but it was delicious so he didn't really mind. Then he stretched himself before he stood up. Looking at the door nervously, he thought twice whether he should go or not. He did wanted to change as fast as possible, but to meet with Saruhiko again…with this appearance… This was too dangerous.
He looked at Kusanagi and Kamamoto, but they too didn't have any choice. Even Anna just sat there in silence. Misaki huffed and took his skateboard.
"Fine," he said, "I'll go meet him."
Kusanagi smiled. "Don't make trouble there! Or Seri-chan will kill me!"
"Take care Yata-san!"
"See you soon, Misaki…"
Misaki growled and took off, clenching his fist when slowly he skated closer to Scepter 4 Headquarter to meet Saruhiko for another time.
…
…
…
Scepter 4. It was huge, like usual. Misaki observed the building from a tall tree nearby. He still got his pride not to come in innocently and begged for help from his x-buddy. Misaki sighed and decided to wait until evening. It was still noon, so it might be a good idea to take a walk around. Besides, Saruhiko probably still had works to do.
Misaki jumped below and hopped to a little forest that surrounded the city. He wasn't sure if it was only instinct or what, but he wanted to find some veggies to eat. Carrot would be good, yeah. But carrot… Would there be any carrot around there? Ah, never mind. Maybe this rabbit soul just wanted to hop along freely. Misaki yawned and went in the forest.
…
Green. So beautiful. And exciting. But not enough…
Misaki sat down while he chewed some greens he found. He enjoyed himself but he felt something was not right. He felt incomplete and somehow he didn't feel good at all. Something was missing from him.
'I wonder what makes rabbit feel this way,' Misaki thought. He hummed and took another walk around. He looked at his watch. There's still a lot of time. 'Taking a walk here is boring… And no one's here,' he huffed.
When he moved deeper into the forest, he saw a spark of water. He was drawn into it and stepped closer. But suddenly his rabbit instinct told him to stop.
Misaki's body tensed up. His rabbit ear perked up and twitching.
Something's here.
He could feel his heartbeat went faster and erratic every second.
Something that is going to kill me.
He lowered his body in panic and looked around hurriedly. He crawled outside, hoping that whatever it was, still didn't notice him or his scent. He gasped and froze every time he heard the slightest noise. It was terrifying. Maybe because he had rabbit feelings now. He gulped and ready to run out to Scepter 4…
Before a howl startled him to death.
…
…
Gasp. Gasp. Gasp.
Jump. Run. Faster. Higher.
Scared. Scared.
Where's the exit? Where am I? I don't know.
Scared. Scared.
Misaki rushed between grasses and trees. He could hear it. He could hear the sound of those four sturdy legs followed him, hunted him.
'Why is there a wolf?!' Misaki cried in his thought. 'And where's Scepter 4?! Am I running even further inside the forest or what!?'
Misaki coughed and hid in a cave. He buried himself to the deepest position as possible and waited.
A low breath. Misaki gasped and closed his terrified hazel eyes. He knew he could easily took that damn wolf just by showing his flame, but his rabbit instinct overtook him. He could only whined pathetically and wanted to punch himself for this embarrassment. Again, a strain almost kill him by changing him into "something".
Misaki slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath. The wolf's gone. He sighed in relief and crawled outside. But more rustle came through. This time it didn't smell like enemy though. So Misaki just sat there still, and waited for what that was coming his way.
It was blue…
And familiar.
Wait…
Oh crap.
…
…
…
…
"Misaki."
"…"
"What…are you doing there?"
"Shut up."
"…and what's with your…fu fu…ears?"
Misaki was pissed. He knew Saruhiko's voice began to tremble and his red face suggested that the cobalt wanted to laugh but managed to hold it out. And it was because of his damn appearance.
"Just… Just shut it, okay? I don't want this either!"
"But," Saruhiko laughed—finally—"…you're so…fu fu—"
"You finish that sentence and I'll kill you!"
"Oh you already killed me, Misaki… You killed me with your CUTEness!" Saruhiko giggled uncontrollably. Misaki hissed—this was getting too irritating.
"Let's just go to your office okay?! I'll tell you everything so you don't have to tease me again!"
"Fine, fine…fu fu…"
Saruhiko and Misaki walked side by side in a complete silence toward Scepter 4 building. Taking a walk together like this brought back old memories for Misaki, back when they were only a middle school students. He fidgeted and forced himself to speak up first.
"...how did you know?"
"Hmm?"
"I was there. How did you know?"
"I didn't. I was just taking a stroll."
"Inside a forest?"
"Is there a problem?"
"No, but—"
"Hide your ears."
"Eh?"
"Hide it. You know that there's a search for a strain that can change people."
"Yeah but I'm the victim!"
"…and you will be investigated. I don't want it."
"Don't want? But I can help!"
"…" Saruhiko shrugged and scratched his neck. "…I don't want Misaki's ears and tail to be seen by others."
Misaki frowned. "Why?"
"Because… They will want you," Saruhiko whispered.
Misaki's eyes widened and his face grew redder than before. He saw the past's Saruhiko. Saruhiko who was so timid and shy. Saruhiko who always whispered something he didn't really wanted Misaki to hear. "O-oh," he stuttered, "I-I see."
The situation grew more awkward but it wasn't a disturbing silence, it was warmer than the previous. Misaki covered his ears with his jacket's hoodie, while his tail was already pressed inside his pants from earlier. But it felt uncomfortable.
After they went out from the forest, Misaki and Saruhiko marched to Scepter 4's building. They went straight to Saruhiko's dorm room and rested a bit.
Then Saruhiko looked at Misaki. "So tell me," he demanded.
Misaki explained everything, but he excluded the solution so he could change back. He didn't want Saruhiko to know, because he got a feeling that he must overcome this by himself, not by Saruhiko's help all the time. However, he did mention about it would be better for him to go to Scepter 4. Saruhiko frowned but he didn't ask much further.
"You can live here until you change back," Saruhiko said. "…but don't come out."
"What?! Oh come on, as long as I'm not seen, it will be fine right?"
"…well…"
"Trust me!"
"…okay."
"Great! Now I want to take shower!"
"You've been here quite often, do anything as you like but don't make any trouble. I'll go back to work now."
"Yeah, yeah. Go on then."
Misaki peeked as Saruhiko left him alone in his room. Misaki observed again. He had been here almost every day, yet today Saruhiko's room felt a little but different than usual. He walked and saw his surroundings. But the room didn't literally change. It had the same height, the same area, the same everything since the last time he was here. But what was it that made it different now? He tried to forget his uneasiness and stripped. A cool shower would help him to ease and relax. Probably.
…
…
...
…
First two days lasted fine with both Misaki and Saruhiko. They didn't do much, despite there was a time when Misaki had to scratch Saruhiko's face to prevent him from doing sex with him again. Misaki told Saruhiko, strictly, that there would be no sex until he changed back. It worked, actually. And Misaki even thought about wouldn't change himself back. But he scratched it as he now realized that he wouldn't stop chewing carrots like a stupid man. It was delicious, but when he saw himself at a quick photo taken by Saruhiko, he cursed himself and tried not to eat carrots again, but failed miserably.
The next days, however, when things got more difficult.
As an animal, Misaki didn't like to be caged. He wasn't literally in a cage, but being unable to go outside without spotted made him felt like being in an invincible cage. Even when he found that Saruhiko's room already big enough, he couldn't erase his uneasy feelings.
So one day he decided to go out. Just to check what Scepter 4's job were.
It should be okay…shouldn't it?
…
Misaki sneaked out.
He tip toed and felt satisfied because his footsteps were so light that they weren't really audible. No one noticed him yet, so he stepped further.
He spotted some Saruhiko's co-worker walking in the corridor after getting out from a big wooden door. Looked like mahogany. He smelled and hopped a bit. This should be Scepter 4's captain, Munakata Reisi's office. He froze and hid behind a vase when he heard someone's footsteps. It was Awashima Seri. Her boobs were big—wait. Misaki blushed and averted his gaze immediately, gulping. Girls always had been his weakness.
After she went in, Misaki hopped again and found a map of the office building. He searched for Saruhiko's and his teammates'. It wasn't far from here so he wondered if he could pay a visit one by one. But he heard a ring. He flinched in pain because the noise went straight to his brain. Recess? He got panic and saw a toilet. He went in and hid in one of the closet.
Damn! I went out in a wrong time!
Misaki made sure he was comfortable in the toilet (although it was nearly impossible because well, it's a toilet) and heard for other noises coming near. He froze when couple of men went in and knocked Misaki's door. He decided not to answer and let those men wondered by themselves. Eventually those men walked to another closet. Then, more men coming in. Misaki felt guilty because he made several men couldn't use the toilet soon, but what could he do?
After some more minutes, Misaki couldn't hear anymore noises and hopped out. Then the bell rang again, marking that the recess was over. He sighed and walked outside the toilet. There was some of Saruhiko's co-workers standing in the hallway. He tried to hear them silently.
"Fushimi-san really is working isn't he?"
"Yeah. His documents already done so fast… No wonder he becomes our leader."
"To think that I'm older than him is a bit disturbing though…"
"All of us think the same way idiot."
"We have to help him. Come on, let's go to his office."
"Are you sure? He would probably tell him to go out like the last time."
"Well… At least he knows we want to help."
"Okay. Let's go then."
Misaki was surprised. He didn't know that Saruhiko was a person who is dependable. He thought Saruhiko was a lazy type of worker but it turned out the otherwise. And it seemed that his job was well done too. Misaki pouted and continued to stalk them to Saruhiko's office.
When they arrived and opened the door, Misaki rushed in without them seeing him. Successfully hidden behind a wooden desk in the corner of the room, Misaki went in silence again and listened to them.
"Fushimi-san, we're here to help your assignment!"
"Huh? Ah… No need… Go back to your station."
"But it looks like a pile of work, Fushimi-san…"
"No worries."
"Are you sure…?"
"Yeah. But… If you really want to help, you can bring this finished paper to captain's office."
"Sure! Then we'll go, Fushimi-san!"
"Yeah…"
Misaki hummed. So this was how Saruhiko worked. He heard the door being opened and closed again so he figured out that those two men already went out. He peeked from the chair and saw Saruhiko.
Saruhiko was yawning and rubbing his blue eyes. Then he groaned and leaned to his chair, looking utterly spent. Misaki could see trickles of sweat coming down from Saruhiko's forehead. It must be pretty tiring. He wanted to make a tea, but before he got a chance to stand, the door opened, startled him and made an audible bang when he tried to hide again.
Misaki realized he made a big mistake because he could feel the room's situation became tense. He could hear Saruhiko stood up from his chair and the person who entered his room also stepped to his direction. In his panic, he spotted a cable in front of him and pulled it off so the electricity went out. Both men gasped and then to make sure none of them spotted him, Misaki reached the nearest vase and pushed it until it fell with a loud noise.
When he saw Saruhiko and the other man (who looked like one of his co-workers too) too busy to get rid of the vase's pieces, he ran out, feeling regretful.
He hoped Saruhiko didn't see him.
…
Back in Saruhiko's room, Misaki tried his hardest to hide the urgent feeling of guilt inside him. When Saruhiko came in, Misaki fidgeted nervously and greeted him.
"H-How's work?"
"Bad."
Misaki gulped. "Oh yeah? How bad was it?"
"Electricity in my office went out. All of my data were gone. And the vase from captain's broken."
"A-Aw." Misaki turned his face around. Damn what a big mistake he made there. "Well you seemed to be working well so this kind of problem won't trouble you right?"
"…no."
"Eh?"
"You heard me. Now let me go to sleep."
Misaki felt a painful stab but he didn't know where and why he felt it. He saw Saruhiko walked slowly to his bed and curled.
Misaki's eyes went dull for a moment.
…
…
...
Days after that Misaki still tried to sneak out. Sometimes it ended well, but sometimes he kept making troubles. Some of them almost made Saruhiko pissed.
And it wasn't like Saruhiko didn't know that it was Misaki.
He knew.
From the beginning, actually.
Saruhiko endured it and tried his best not to get mad at Misaki. But he couldn't hold it, Misaki ruined almost all of his works and assignments. He assumed that Misaki didn't really like him, but this was already going too far and irritating.
But Saruhiko decided he would wait until it was over. Misaki was already nineteen and would be twenty soon enough. He should be capable of understanding situation like this. So he gritted his teeth and redid his disturbed work—which was already being redid like almost four times because Misaki sometimes broke his USB or cut the electricity.
Misaki himself knew that Saruhiko would soon be mad at him, but he really was curious. And something inside him begged him not to be left alone in the room. He groaned and curled himself like a ball on the bed.
However today he felt like he had to sit near the window. From here, he could see Scepter 4's sport yard. Some of those guys were playing soccer together. Misaki leaned in. 'That must be fun,' he thought. But something caught his eyesight. He wasn't sure what it was, but it brought a bad feeling. So he decided to go down and observed.
When he arrived at the yard, Misaki hid in the bushes and stared at the spot he found earlier. He could see someone there. He could see…a gun.
Holy shit.
Misaki covered his mouth and kept observing. That someone was aiming his gun this way—to someone in the yard. If he didn't do something, someone in Scepter 4 could die. Misaki flattened his ears; he was confused. Scepter 4 was his enemy, helping Scepter 4 means he would betray HOMRA. Well maybe not, but he would feel weird after it. He gulped nervously, when he decided he must help these guys out.
Misaki hopped without sound to the bushes near the shooter. He gained a full look to the man. Misaki put on his courage and waited for the right moment. Everything counted. He let his bunny ears detected any movement that man did. He sat right behind him and closed his eyes, flexed his body and got ready to pounce. He heard a rattle, it seemed that the man found something, or in this case, someone; but not Misaki. The man saw someone, probably his target, at the yard. He sharpened his hearings and focused himself a bit more. This voice. It was bossy yet so calm. Misaki's hazel eyes snapped open.
It was Saruhiko.
Saruhiko was in the yard.
At the same time, Misaki heard a 'click' sound once; the gun's ready and aimed. His mind got blank. Within seconds, he pounced at the gunner, startled him, and…
BANG!
…
…
...
Whole men who played at the yard froze at the sudden shot voice. Including Saruhiko.
Saruhiko shivered at his own thoughts about what if it was Misaki who—
He ran as fast as he could and withdrew his sword. His teammates followed him behind just in case they would get a fight. Saruhiko stopped when the bushes in front of him rattled. He pointed his sword at the bush and waited. Suddenly, a body was thrown. It was a man with a gun, already fell unconscious. It seemed that someone knocked him out from behind. There was a trace of fire but wasn't really noticeable. Saruhiko gritted his teeth. Misaki.
Soon after, the bush rattled again and another man fell with an 'oompf'. Saruhiko easily recognized that chestnut colored hair. It was Misaki. Another Scepter 4 members backed off a bit and frowned to each other. Is this that HOMRA vanguard? A bunny?
Misaki looked up to find himself in the middle of some Scepter 4 workers and Saruhiko. He smiled sheepishly and scratched his neck. His ears twitched and his bunny tail flinched, he didn't feel comfortable, but he knew he had to say something.
"I caught him," Misaki started slowly, "…this guy was trying to shoot you. Umm…"
Misaki trembled. He felt something about Saruhiko. His rabbit senses could tell that Saruhiko was mad. The temperature surrounding him was getting colder. Misaki was afraid. It wasn't like him, but Misaki knew he was in trouble.
Saruhiko ordered his men to take the gunner inside for further investigation. While he dealt with Misaki. In his rough way.
Saruhiko grabbed Misaki's arm making the smaller boy squeaked in pain. On the way back to Saruhiko's dorm room, the cobalt ignored every word, every excuse the chestnut haired said to him. Saruhiko was afraid. Saruhiko was afraid that Misaki would die. He didn't want that. So he would lock him in the room. Letting Misaki knew that he would not tolerate this act again.
After they both arrived, Saruhiko threw Misaki on the floor followed by a curse from Misaki's mouth. Saruhiko replied it with a glare. Misaki went completely silent when he saw the cold expression from Saruhiko.
"Do that again and I won't forgive you."
"But I just helped you!"
"I don't care. You could have died out there, you—"
"But I don't! So it's okay, right?"
Saruhiko snapped. "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. YOU HAD RUINED MY WORKS MULTIPLE TIMES AND YOU HAD ALMOST DIED JUST NOW AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT IT'S OKAY?!"
Misaki's eyes widened. Usually he would throw back some insults, but…this Saruhiko's different. And the pain in his chest worsened. His ears flattened and he could feel his energy decreased. "S-Saruhiko, I—"
"DON'T!" Saruhiko shouted once more before he inhaled deeply. "…don't say anything anymore. Just… Just stay here. You're prohibited from going outside. I will provide you food or anything, but just…don't go out." Saruhiko sighed. He felt bad from yelling to the one he loved, but he had to. Or Misaki would put him to the test of patience forever.
Misaki held his urge to cry. No. Not in front of Saruhiko. He was already trembling though.
Saruhiko clenched his fist and returned to the door. "I'll have to make some reports," he said in cold tone, "…figure out what you have to do to quickly change you back."
Then the door closed, leaving a shocked Misaki inside.
…
...
Misaki still lied on the floor, staring to the door for a long time. It was already evening, eight o'clock. Saruhiko should be back by now.
'But he isn't.'
Misaki felt another stab on his chest. It was painful. He wanted to call Saruhiko but after being yelled like that…Misaki couldn't do it. His eyes were watery, but he refused to let out his tears. He growled and looked at his wristwatch. No new messages from Kusanagi, Kamamoto, or any other HOMRA member. He didn't feel like contacting them, but when he didn't find new messages he felt lonely. And this thought struck him. What if nobody cared for him anymore?
He gasped and coughed. His vision started to blur.
Alone. In such a big room. Dark.
Misaki felt his body grew warmer. He kept denying his bad thoughts as slowly he slept on the cold floor without somebody noticing.
…
…
...
...
Couple of days went through. Saruhiko did brought food like he promised, but every time he arrived, his eyes never looked at Misaki. After delivering the food he would went out right away without saying something.
Misaki didn't know what to do.
How could he apologize if Saruhiko didn't even want to look at him?
Misaki clenched his fist and curled up.
I'm sorry Saruhiko. I just wanted to help…
…
…
…
"Fushimi-san, need any more help?"
"Ah? No, it's okay."
"Hmm… But suddenly it gets peaceful don't you think?"
Saruhiko hummed. "Yeah. You're right." Misaki usually turned something into havoc right now. 'I guess even a troublemaker is missed too… I feel bad for yelling at him. Maybe I should apologize later? But…'
"Fushimi-san!"
"…ah? What?" Saruhiko shook his head, his thoughts wandering too far. "What is it?"
"We're wondering about what should we keep as pet!"
"…what?"
"Well actually Akiyama's the one who wants pet. He's asking us what the best pet is."
"Huh? The hell I would know."
Saruhiko's co-workers laughed. "I know you will say that Fushimi-san! But well, I think Akiyama with a bunny is a wonderful match."
"Ah, shush!"
"O-Oops."
Saruhiko twitched when he heard the word 'bunny'. His mind immediately registered the word as 'Misaki', making him more nervous than before. And he knew that his co-workers already seen Misaki in his bunny appearance. But he pretended that he didn't care. "Bunny? Why?" he asked.
"W-Well, it's fluffy. Akiyama is fluffy."
"I'm not!"
Everyone laughed. Saruhiko just sighed. "I think bunny's quite troublesome."
"It's true, but if you loves it, it will love you back."
"Every pet does."
"My bunny died last week."
Saruhiko twitched again. What if Misaki…no. He shook his head again which made his co-workers frowned.
"Fushimi-san is there anything wrong? You feel sick?"
"No, forget that. I'm okay. About that bunny…it died?" Saruhiko was curious. But maybe because the bunny was sick. He didn't really hope much for the answer. However…
"Yeah. Apparently it got lonely."
"…what?"
"Umm, you must not let your bunny feels lonely or it'll get sick. And if you ignore it for quite a long time, it will die."
"You ignore your bunny?!"
"Well I guess I'm a busy person. I still regret that you know."
Saruhiko didn't pay attention to them anymore. His mind right now only replayed what he had done to Misaki.
'Misaki is a rabbit. Well he's only half rabbit, but the way he act is like a rabbit. I've seen he hopped before, and I know he likes carrot. The thing is I already ignored him for couple of days now. I didn't look at him every time I fed him because I was afraid I would get mad again, but I wonder if he gets sick. And Misaki must be feeling really lonely right now…or…?'
"Fushimi-san?"
"…"
"Fushimi-san!"
"…eh? Ah—what?"
"Umm…are you sure you're okay? We want to deliver these documents and reports to captain…"
"…Oh… Yeah I'm okay. You may go."
Saruhiko couldn't relax that day. He tapped his fingers onto his table for couple of hours until his fingers went a bit numb. He was worried. He was worried sick. But if he came back there and turned out that Misaki was okay, he could probably spoiled him too much and Misaki wouldn't learn. But he missed his Misaki. He wanted to see him properly.
Saruhiko took a deep breath.
'Okay. Tonight I'll see him. If he's okay… Well, I'll go immediately.'
…
…
…
Misaki knew he was sick. But nothing he could do. He wanted to call someone for medicine, but when he remembered Saruhiko's order, he ignored the idea. Misaki gasped and coughed. He walked wobbly to the bathroom. It was already time for bath.
Misaki felt really lonely. He slipped multiple times in the tub (fortunately he didn't get hurt) because of his dizziness. After he finished taking his bath, he stepped weakly to the closet and picked a cloth for him. It was all Saruhiko's shirt. He didn't bring his clothing so he would have to wear one. Would Saruhiko get mad? Misaki whimpered and unsure. But he didn't have any choice. He would just have to…bear Saruhiko's yelling.
Misaki coughed again and putting so much effort to wear the white shirt. He flinched in pain when he realized he was starting to breathe irregularly.
"Saru," he whined. "I'm so sorry…"
He descended slowly to the floor and coughed again. He looked at the shirt.
'It smelled like Saruhiko. It's Saruhiko's scent…' Misaki inhaled. He was sweating quite a lot, making the shirt too drenched in sweat. 'I will have to wash this…'
He looked at the door and then the clock. It was seven o'clock. Already evening. He already had his food for today, but not Saruhiko who delivered it to him. It made him thought that Saruhiko already fed up with him.
His eyes felt wet. His body felt hot and aching. His gasps became more irregular.
But he didn't want to call Saruhiko yet.
He should hold it.
He didn't want Saruhiko to get mad.
He waited painfully again on the cold floor, like he always did.
…
…
Saruhiko growled. He got another assignment just when he finished tidying things up in his office, plus his captain told him something weird. He already finished it again though, so he could see his Misaki.
He felt nervous and didn't know what to expect. Saruhiko walked slowly, ignored the calling from his co-workers and marched to his dorm room. He stood in front of the door for a moment to listen. He couldn't hear anything. Well since that time Misaki never did anything. In fact it seemed like Misaki's acting like a numb doll.
When he touched the door handle, he felt uneasy and worried. Something's not right. He opened the door. His eyes was locked to one object lying on the floor.
It was panting. It was drenched in sweat. It had chestnut colored hair. And bunny ears. And tail.
"Misaki!"
…
...
Misaki felt his body floating. He could no longer see clearly what's in front of him, but he knew someone's getting inside the room. He flattened his ears, scared. 'Who could it be? Saruhiko? He would be angry if he saw me like this, but I couldn't move…' Misaki panted and shivered. What to do…
Suddenly he felt a warm embrace surrounded him and at the same time his sensitive ears caught the sound of Saruhiko calling his name.
What a nice hallucination.
Misaki whimpered when he felt a cool hand caressed his cheek and touched his forehead lightly before it moved away fast. His vision was still blurred but he recognized this smell. It was Saruhiko alright. He coughed and whimpered again in pain. A tight hug made him melt. His body felt like goo and he couldn't move at all.
He could feel Saruhiko's body trembling against his shivering one. Misaki closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm embrace. But then he remembered when Saruhiko yelled at him. It was painful. And whenever Misaki was here alone, he couldn't sleep. Saruhiko never came at his room ever since he got angry. Misaki gasped and weakly pushed himself away. He was afraid that Saruhiko would be angry at him again. He didn't want to get hurt or make Saruhiko hurt. Using his last strength, he shifted himself away from the cobalt.
"…d-don't…you don't have to…" he said in strangled voice and ended up with a weak, painful squeak.
"Misaki, stop."
"N-No…"
"Misaki."
"No…y-you said… You said I'm just making troubles," Misaki whimpered, "…you wanted me to go away…"
"Hey, Misaki, listen—"
"N-No." He took another deep inhale and exhaled pretty fast, gasping. "I… I will…go to sleep now, so… You should go back…to work…" He crawled to the bed and coughed in the middle of the way. He almost fell unconscious again on the floor when he suddenly grabbed by Saruhiko from behind and lifted. He gasped and wiggled to let go, but a harsh command from Saruhiko shut his mouth. He was still scared and he didn't want to make the situation worse so he could only nod when Saruhiko told him to close his eyes when he finally placed on the bed.
And he slept.
…
Saruhiko caressed Misaki's cheeks lightly with his slightly shivering hand. A sight he had seen almost made him jumped to his death. He buried his face to Misaki's warm shoulder and whispering his name over and over again, afraid that Misaki would die in any moment soon.
'Why did I do that? How stupid I am. He's… He's almost…' Saruhiko groaned and bit his finger in frustration, his mind replayed what had just happened when he saw Misaki.
Misaki's body was so hot like a burning flame with his sweaty pink skin—clearly he had a high fever. When Saruhiko touched Misaki's forehead to measure his temperature, he couldn't hold his hand even only for a minute. When he reached the skin, it burnt him and he immediately retracted his hand. He saw Misaki flinched and wondering if Misaki thought he didn't want to touch him anymore. He didn't mean for Misaki to interpret it that way so he hugged him. Then those weak arms tugged him and pushed him away. Hearing that soft whimpering voice from Misaki's lips made him tremble and he gritted his teeth when Misaki told him to go back to his work. Plus, he must see his Misai crawled helplessly to his bed, craving for a rest. He couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so Saruhiko stood up fast and grabbed Misaki, ignoring his whimpers and put him on the bed, covered him with blanket. He had to whisper to Misaki for him to sleep before Misaki finally fell on unconsciousness once again.
His hold on Misaki's arm got tighter. His body temperature was still high…he must do something.
Saruhiko just in the middle of letting Misaki's arm go when Misaki's eyes opened and he grabbed his shirt.
"P-Please don't go," whispered Misaki. His eyes pleaded and they were teary.
Saruhiko remembered about how a bunny disliked being alone. And he already left Misaki for days. "…I'm sorry for leaving you alone," Saruhiko hugged Misaki again. "Sorry."
Misaki was happy for the warmth he got. "N-No, don't say that… I'm the one…who's making troubles…" he shrugged and hugged the taller male back. His mind was still fuzzy from the fever, but somehow he wasn't feeling too sick. "I wonder…why I become so weak…when you're not around…"
"That's because you're lonely," Saruhiko smiled and rubbed his cheek on Misaki's. "Bunny tends to get sick if it gets lonely."
"I see…"
"…Misaki."
"…hmm…?"
"...I'm worried about you."
"Yeah…" Misaki gasped and leaned to Saruhiko's touch. "You're warm…"
"Oh, then move a bit…yeah…like that." Saruhiko repositioned himself so he was on the bed together with Misaki, and his hands comfortably hugged Misaki closer. Misaki curled against Saruhiko with his head on Saruhiko's broad chest. "…you feel better?"
"Hmm… Much."
Saruhiko kissed Misaki's temple and his neck, earning a soft moan from the smaller boy. He still remembered though, about how Misaki got mad at him after days before, when he seemed pissed about having sex too much. Besides, having sex right now wasn't a good idea because his Misaki was seriously ill. So he controlled himself and only tightened his hug. "I think… I should sleep on sofa," he whispered on Misaki's ear.
Misaki shook his head and closed their distance so their body were now practically glued including their lower parts. Misaki could see Saruhiko frowned in his unsureness. He smiled because he knew Saruhiko didn't want to hurt him. "Saruhiko…you won't hurt me," he said. Despite his fever, he brought his face closer and kissed Saruhiko. "Don't go," he assured him. "I'm okay."
"You're not okay," Saruhiko stopped Misaki.
Misaki shrugged and paused to observe the cobalt. Would he be mad again? "S—Saruhiko, I'm sorry—"
Saruhiko didn't want to see his Misaki scared. He buried his face on Misaki's collarbone. "No, you're right. Sorry… I won't go," he calmed Misaki down.
Misaki's body relaxed when he heard Saruhiko's tone changing. He rubbed Saruhiko's cobalt hair gently. "…you want to do it don't you."
Saruhiko looked up at Misaki. He didn't think about that but when Misaki said it, well, he actually wanted to. However Misaki's… "You're sick."
"I don't…mind," he blushed. "I feel that I…need you. Now…" he whispered lowly and huffed. His shirt already drenched in sweat, making his body could be seen easily from that transparent cloth. And it also revealed Misaki's skin color…which was pink, like after getting out from sauna. His bunny ears twitching and he leaned closer. "Saruhiko, will you…?"
Saruhiko hummed and nibbled on Misaki's fluffy white bunny ear and puffed warm breath onto it. Misaki shuddered and groaned softly, sending a shiver through Saruhiko's spine. "…don't do this, Misaki…" He felt unsure and worried.
"Saru…" Misaki's hazel eyes looked deep into Saruhiko's blue eyes. "I want you…"
Saruhiko growled and flipped himself so he straddled Misaki. He peppered Misaki's face with light kisses and devoured all moans Misaki made. Then he shifted lower and kissed Misaki's chest which still covered by his white shirt. He noticed that both of Misaki's nipples were already hard and he pinched one of them, followed by a loud moan from Misaki, and at the same time the smaller boy's back arced upwards, making Saruhiko freely roamed his tongue over his skin. Saruhiko unbuttoned the shirt, leaving Misaki half nude. He smirked at him and continued to suck his nipple. Misaki's hands pulled Saruhiko's hair lightly in anticipation. Finally Saruhiko headed south, placing his face exactly before Misaki's bulge.
Misaki whined and bucked his hips, even before Saruhiko touched it. He didn't wear pants or underwear because he thought Saruhiko's shirt was long enough to cover his body. And he somehow felt relieved because when Saruhiko found him lying on the floor, his lower part wasn't visible. Only his upper body drenched in sweat. He blushed at the thought…only to be snapped back to reality by Saruhiko's sudden deep throat. Misaki screamed in ecstasy as he arced his back even more, if it's possible. "M-More… Saru…"
Saruhiko chuckled and gave Misaki one hard suck before he pulled away, making Misaki whined uncomfortably from the contact loss. His hand reached Misaki's ass to find his rabbit tail. It was round and fluffy. Saruhiko laughed lightly and before Misaki could retort, he gave it a little squeeze earning squeaks from the chestnut boy. "You sure, Misaki…? You're still sick."
"Don't… Don't give a fuck about…tha—AH!" Misaki bucked hips again when a harsh pump on his cock made him saw stars and cum right away. He blushed when he saw Saruhiko drank a bit of his seed and gasped because he was out of air. "Mm…nngghh…"
"So impatient… And so confident… Remember that you said you didn't want sex until you change back?" Saruhiko teased and used Misaki's cum to prepare him. His finger probed in to Misaki's tight hole and he could feel it clenched. Misaki squeaked and moaned softly when Saruhiko inserted his second finger. Saruhiko did scissoring motion and when he inserted the third, Misaki's body jerked up. That told him he touched the right spot. Feeling satisfied, he assaulted that sweet spot over and over until he saw Misaki's saliva pooled beside his cheeks. His gaze already unfocused and he clearly super aroused at this moment.
Misaki grabbed Saruhiko's shoulder and groaned. "E-Enough… I'm ready…"
Saruhiko chuckled in lined up his throbbing erection, before plunged it deep to the fiery hole. Both of them screamed at the unison and took their time to adjust, which Saruhiko found it to be quite hard not to thrust his cock in and out right now. Misaki hummed and relaxed his body, trying to bear the pain of being penetrated by the cobalt.
"M-Move," he gasped, closing his eyes for what was about to come.
It was cute. All movements Misaki made were cute. Saruhiko liked them and wanted to see more of Misaki's reaction when he made him saw stars. "Let's do this…" Saruhiko hushed in his husky voice. "Don't complain if it hurts…"
"Ha—I—w-won't—AAH!" Misaki whimpered when Saruhiko picked up his own pace, fast and hard, making his small body looked like a ragdoll. But it was pleasurable; the pain could be tolerated so he didn't mind. And he was HOMRA's vanguard—he was strong despite of his fever. He licked his bottom lip and enjoyed how Saruhiko followed his tongue direction. "S-Saru—f-AH-faster—nnhh…" He began to move his hips in tandem of Saruhiko's.
"Y-You know, Misaki…aah…you're killing me with your charm…right now… And your dirty demand…" Saruhiko smirked and leaned down to kiss the chestnut and squeeze his tail again. "You said faster…? I'll give you faster…"
Misaki's mewl went louder as Saruhiko banged to his sweet spot all the time, he could sense his climax coming in. He grabbed Saruhiko's shoulder for his dear life and his breathing became erratic. "MMM…MMHH…AHH…NNN…" Purposely, he panted right beside Saruhiko's ear, making the taller male let out an animalistic growl. The thrusts went even faster and Saruhiko's hand wrapped Misaki's body securely, lifting him up a bit above the sheet making him looked like sitting while another hand supported their weight on the bed. Misaki mewled and squeaked as the climax was getting closer. "S-Saru… Can't…hold it…NNGGHHH—"
"Cum then, Misaki… I'm close too…" Saruhiko bit his Misaki's earlobe.
It was enough to drive Misaki to the edge. He screamed in pleasure as his cum spurted out to Saruhiko's stomach and his. Misaki's wall clenched down on Saruhiko's cock, making the cobalt grunted and chanted 'Misaki' lovingly as he too spurted his seed in Misaki. Misaki sighed in completion and they both fell back on the bed, gasping out of energy.
…
They lied on the bed in pretty long time, cuddling with each other. Saruhiko's hands tracing the line of Misaki's slender body making the smaller shivered. Misaki himself placed his palms on Saruhiko's chest and enjoying the warmness that came out from that pale skin.
Being like this, after they did sex, always made Misaki thought about togetherness, about how they had each other and needed each other so badly. Whenever they cuddled like this, it was like he was never going to be lonely and knew that there would be always someone to take care of him, to love him. Which made him thought about what the strain girl had said before and it's all starting to make sense. He was changing him to a bunny which couldn't handle the loneliness so he would know what Saruhiko felt when he wasn't around. Saruhiko always lived in this big dorm room all by himself. Whenever Misaki came, Saruhiko would always be happy because he wasn't lonely anymore. Being with co-workers was not enough, just like Misaki being with HOMRA. There was something missing. Maybe that's why Saruhiko liked to have sex with him and he decided he wouldn't blame Saruhiko for that. He curled himself and hugged Saruhiko.
"I understand now," he whispered. Saruhiko lifted his eyebrow and about to ask further before a weird light once again covered Misaki.
Saruhiko jumped and took out his sword but Misaki shook his head.
"No! It's fine! Just see," he giggled and let the light circled his bunny ears and tail, swirling about and giving him a ticklish sensation. When it was over, Misaki checked his reflection on the mirror to see that he was no longer half bunny. "Phew, it's over!" He huffed.
"…what…was that…?"
"I was changed by the strain, remember? But she had her reason," Misaki smiled. "Come on, I'll explain to your boss. He must've already found out."
"Well he is," Saruhiko grumbled. Captain Munakata did contacted him last night before he got to his room. He said something about half animal and demanded an explanation. How could he kno—ah right. Every room had a camera in it. Wait.
It meant… Captain had just witnessed he and Misaki making love—
Oh God.
He must have the recording.
