Natsuki's Wrath
I was beside myself – enraged even.
My hands lashed out violently at the nimble cat girl that leapt and bounced about within the confines of her apartment.
"Mikoto! When I get my hand on you, I'm gonna- !"
The tips of my fingers brushed past her raven black hair as – yet again – she slipped past my fingers.
The apartment door opens.
"Mai!" The forever-a-child exclaimed, as though her saviour was there to save her. The small form rushed to hide behind the red-haired chef who was accompanied by my girlfriend.
"What are you doing Natsuki?" Mai asked after noticing the threatening strangle-hold my hands were gesturing in, and the bloodthirsty glare I held at the cowering girl behind her.
"Oh, I'll tell you what I'm doing Mai, I going to catch that all-consuming black-hole and shove my god-damned hand down her throat and I'm going to fu-!" I began to rant viciously.
"Natsuki!" The both of them yelled as Mai took a more protective stance in front of Mikoto.
"What did Mikoto-kun do to deserve such a thing, Natsuki?" Shizuru cooed, dropping her purse along the floor as she approached me.
Her eyes dove deep into mine; clearing away all the rage and anger I felt. She rubbed my arm gently and lovingly, brushing away the tension and irritation.
"She- She-" I started to choke – with the absence of my fury I was left with only despair "She ate your muffin!"
The look of confusion crossed my lover's eyes and no doubt her mind.
"Did… Did you make the muffin yourself?" Shizuru asked cautiously.
"No, it was-" I started to answer but stopped, looking despairingly into those beautiful red eyes.
"Wait… You don't mean…" Mai's voice began the trail. My eyes flickered onto her when hers instantly grew wide in panic.
"Mikoto! I told you: you HAVE to chew before you swallow! Oh my god! We can't afford this!" The red head started yelling before lifting up the small girl, and rushing past Shizuru and I, to the bathroom.
"Wait! You're going to flush it down the toilet!" I called out following closely behind and slamming the bathroom door after us. Leaving a confused and perplexed brunette outside.
"Mikoto, you have to throw it back up! How, in the world, did you swallow something like that without realizing?" Mai asked frantically as she slammed her hand on the petite girl's back.
"I don't know!" I yelped beside the two situated over the bath tub. "I'd only just put it in the muffin and I turn my back for just one second and she's already eaten it! There were only crumbs left!"
"I'm so sorry Natsuki. It's ok, we'll give it a good rinse and you can still use it! Come on, Mikoto you need to throw it back up." Mai spoke apologetically – but it did little to phase my frantic state.
"But Mai, I can't!" Mikoto began to wail – distressed that her supposed saviour was now against her.
"I don't care!" I bellowed at the near crying girl. "You cough it back up right now or I swear I'll make sure the only ramen you ever eat again are made by me and me alone!" I threatened with genuine murderous intent.
At that moment, the very thought of my ruined surprise for Shizuru completely overshadowed the pure and utter fear the young Minagi displayed.
I had to get that ring back.
A/N: I trust that was to your liking? Yes? Good!
