[The Truth of Misaki]

Previous chapter

"A mouse? That's unusual! Our house never has mouse before!" said Usagi and looked at his lover. But suddenly, he widened his eyes, as he saw the cat's ears and tail that appeared on his lover for out of blue.

"Misaki?"

"Nyan!" shouted Misaki and jumped over the mouse.

Usagi was speechless to see his lover had turned into a 'cat'. And that time, Takahiro had opened the door and saw everything.

"Eh?" said Takahiro, smiling.

And now...

"What is happening here?" said Usagi, sweating. He looks at both Takahiro and Misaki who is chasing the mouse.

"Ta...Takahiro! Please help me! Misaki has gone out of control!" shouts Usagi.

'Don't worry, leave it to me," said Takahiro and walks slowly to in front of Misaki. Misaki is hissing Takahiro likes he will fight another cat.

"Hey Misaki, have you forgot about your own brother?" asks Takahiro. He knocks Misaki with his right hand.

"Neko Fuin (cat's seal)!" said Takahiro, making a scary glare. That makes Usagi is sweating a lot, scared to see such Takahiro that he never seen it before.

"Nyan~!" shouts Misaki and passed out.

"Misaki!" shouts Usagi.

"Hm...?" Misaki opens his eyes.

"Oh, thank god! You are awake!" said Usagi and he hold Misaki's hand. Its look likes that Misaki was sleeping on his shoulder all the times.

"Un...Usagi-san... I got a dreamed that I felt myself was a cat and chased a mouse..."

Usagi is startled. Misaki is shocked to see such a face.

"Um...how to say...it was not a dream, dear!" The explanation really shocking Misaki.

"What? Then I was making something stupid like chasing a mouse in attempt to eat it? Is that true?" Usagi nodes. It makes Misaki become more embarrassed.

"Waa~~~~~~~! I'm too embarrassed! I don't have right to live anymore!" shouts Misaki.

"You don't have to go that far! Plus, if you still confuse, why don't you ask Takahiro right there?" asks Usagi and points to Takahiro in front of them. Takahiro is smiling. Misaki is shocked.

"Wha? Ni-Chan? Just when did you arrived?"

"He he..." said Takahiro. Misaki is searching for Manami.

"Oh, if you find Manami, she is at the kitchen, continuing your works while you fainted just now." Misaki saw Manami at the kitchen.

"Ah, nee-Chan! That's no need for that! I' m sorry for making you continuing my works!" said Misaki and tries to stop Manami. But Manami is just smiling.

"Ah, don't worry about that! At least you have finished cooking curry for us. Don't worry! Don't worry! Plus..." Manami smiles.

Suddenly, Takahiro grabs Misaki's hand.

"Sit!" said Takahiro, seriously. Misaki is stunned.

"Don't you have many questions to ask your brother?" Manami continues her words.

Misaki sits down next to Usagi. They all are silent for a few seconds. At last, Takahiro opens his mouth and starts the conversation.

"Misaki. You have a blood of Bakeneko inside you!" said Takahiro, serious.

"Ba...Bakeneko?" Misaki and Usagi are describing Misaki in Bakeneko form. Of course Usagi is describing Neko Misaki in Moe form. Quickly, his face turns red and he is giggling. Misaki is surprised to see his lover's face.

"Just what the hell were you thinking just now! Baka Usagi!" shouts Misaki, pulling Usagi's shirt. Usagi ignores Misaki's yell and still daydreaming about how cute and sexy Misaki is as a Neko Misaki.

"No..." This word freezes both Usagi and Misaki.

You are the Bakeneko yourself. Actually, we do not have any blood relationship!" Misaki widens his eyes.

"Then, I..."

"I found you at a mountain 19 years ago and I bet that you were just being born and abandoned," said Takahiro. Misaki freezes.

"At first, father wants to kill you. But I managed to stop him. I said to him that I want to raise you as a human. Then, as soon as we brought you home, we found that you were not just have blood of Bakeneko but human too. So, we thought that you were mixed- blood. Then, our parents also agreed that you should raised as human. Think it back, we thought that was why you were abandoned there, it could be so that the humans could found you, and bring you home. It was a really risked decision for your true parents."

"If...nobody found me or brought me home?" asks Misaki, shivering.

"You'll froze to death, that's obvious!" answers Takahiro. Both Misaki and Usagi are silent. So do Manami, pitying for his little brother in law.

Suddenly, Usagi is concerns about something.

"Wait, if you found him with that ears and tail, why we don't see them all the times, and they only show off now?" asks Usagi.

"Yeah, that's right! In these 19 years, I never feel like having them at all!" agrees Misaki.

"That because we put a kekkai (seal) on you! You'll lose your power and live as an ordinary human. Isn't that good for you?"

"You're right, but...huh?"

Misaki realized something.

"You...put it?" Misaki is sweating. Takahiro nodes. Usagi is stunned same as Misaki.

"You mean...the kekkai?" asks Usagi.

"Yes..." answers Takahiro. Usagi and Misaki startled at gaze.

"Then, what the hell are you? An asper? Kekkaishi? Or...onmyouji?" shouts Usagi.

"I am Takahashi Takahiro," answers Takahiro.

"I know that! I mean, your truth background, or your family history!"

"My ancestors were the greatest the greatest onmyouji clan, Takashi Clan! This power to deal with oddities... we got them from them!"

Usagi and Misaki are solidified. Manami is stunned. All are silent for a few seconds.

"WHAT?"

"Wow! Sugoi!" cheers Manami.

U...Usagi-san...I don't know there is such family in this modern time!" said Misaki to Usagi, shivering.

"Me either..." said Usagi, same with shivering Misaki.

While looking at the confused couple, Takahiro is thinking. It has been more than 1000 years. The war that took that long, how could it finished very easily? And, he didn't think that their parents that die 11 years ago were really an accident. He stares at Misaki. The rumors about Takahashi Clan's heir taking a Bakeneko's child to their family has been fingered. Misaki may be a 'key' for that case. But, he can't even think to involve Misaki, his dearest little brother in something dangerous like this. Even once.

Fwaaa~~! At last! It took very long for me to type this! But believe me! Writing this was not very hard! Anyway, I have granted all's wish to read Junjou Ayakashi Rumble longer! Ok, till next time! Should I involve Misaki's pregnancy here? Okay, now, REVIEW PLEASE!
