Part 6
Tachibana, unable to reach Chikage by phone, or Ono for that matter, irritably got into his car and drove to the Antique. By the time he pulled up into the side alley, parked his car and got out, his anger had turned to worry that the big lug had seriously injured himself, leaving Ono and the kid to try and take care him. The owner of the Antique's hands shook as he put his key in the lock and it was several minutes before he managed to open it and get inside.
Fear, kept him quiet and just when he reassured himself that no one was here and Chikage was really home, fast asleep, when he saw them in the dining room. Tachibana shook his head as if to clear it. Tell me they weren't standing there, half naked… and if they violated the dining room, I'm going kill Ono!! That fucking little bastard is going to die a long painful death for seducing Chikage!! He stood there, his mouth opening and closing, but no words came out.
"Waka-sama…?"
Chikage's soft voice reluctantly pulling him from his murderous fantasies, Tachibana suddenly found his voice. "Chikage?"
"Waka-sama. We…"
"What?! Yielded to his sick temptations?" Tachibana said more sharply than he intended.
"No," Chikage said calmly. "Ono-san," he looked at the patissier and back, "deserves some love and I wanted to show him some."
"But sex-"
"Is not love. I tried telling him that, Tachibana-san, but he didn't want to listen," Ono added. "That he shouldn't give into temptation…"
The Antique's owner sighed, feeling suddenly older than his thirty two years. He rubbed tiredly between his eyes. "Fine. As long as you're happy and do your job-"
"I am. You no longer need me," Chikage said.
"And Ono does…" Tachibana sighed.
"Yes…"
