Backstage hallway

Aki POV

"Carly, slow down! I feel like my arm is going to get rip apart any second," cried Akiza to her friend. She felt Carly tighten her grip even more if that was still possible.

"I'll slow down once we get there. Plus, this could help keep your emotions in check when we get there. Ra only knows what you would do to Misty once we get there," Carly replied before taking a turn.

"I won't do anything. Misty's our friend," Aki countered.

"Just taking extra precautions. I mean. Misty did get under your skin if that growl of yours from when she sat on Yusei is any indication," Carly shot back.

"Don't remind me. I don't know what came over me. All I was thinking is that Misty might get violated," Aki lied.

"Yeah right. You were preparing to bite her throat out if I didn't calm you down," Misty glared.

"I wouldn't go that far. Maybe slap her or pull her to the ground I guess? God, what am I thinking! She's my friend. Bad girl Akiza. Bad girl," Aki thought.

"Here we are now Akiza," Carly said enthusiastically.

As she was about to knock, we heard Misty scream from inside. We nearly took down the door, forcing our way inside. I was the first one in.

"Misty are you all right? What happ-?!"

There Misty was, with nothing on except for a skimpy piece of clothing, barely covering her nether regions. And in her lap was my Yusei, blood covering his cute face. I snarl at the sight of it. Of them!

"That's it!" I snapped, ready to pounce like a wildcat ready to go in for the kill.

Dressing room (half an hour later)

Aki POV

We're currently sitting on the floor, all decent now and in control of ourselves. Yusei is currently sleeping on my lap, his face all cleaned up now. Misty is sitting across me, still wary that I might hurt her. If Carly didn't stop me back then, who knows what might have happened. Seriously, sitting on his lap was one thing but trying to snag him up from me like that? Like family my ass.

"Ehem, now that we're all calm," Carly stared at me, "and wearing clothes," giving her attention to a now trembling Misty, "I suggest that an explanation is needed. Right Akiza?"

" Hmph. Fine," I say, still glaring at Misty while stroking Yusei's cheek.

"W-well, I was only playing a harmless little trick on Yusei. I was getting bored of waiting so I asked him to come inside and accompany me. So when he sat down, I went behind the divider to, well, uhmm, change clothes," Misty started.

"In other words, you were putting on a little striptease, is that it?" I glared hard on Misty, raising Yusei's head up to my chest to embrace it.

"Aki, let Misty finished," Carly said to me sternly.

"N-no, I mean y-yeah, kinda. But I didn't show myself yet. All he could see was my body's silhouette," continued Misty.

"What do you mean yet?" I asked, not bothering to hide the venom in my voice. If it wasn't for Yusei's sudden snuggling in my arms and on my chest, I may have pop a nerve or two by now, if I still have any left.

"W-well, y-you see," Misty cleared her throat. "I asked him to fetch me my bag of clothes and give it to me."

"Then what happened?" Carly asked patiently.

"I, uhmm, kinda. You see, I-"

"For the love of Ra, spit it out already," I spat.

"IwentbesidehimandwithonlymypantiesandIjiggledmyhandcoveredbreasts,hesawmethenfaintdfromlossofblood," Misty finished, speaking so fast that you could barely understand a word she said.

But I got the gist of it. Yusei fainted from the erotic view. Misty wasn't trying to seduce him. He didn't see her naked. What a relief.

"I'm really, really sorry Akiza," Misty cried, almost prostrating herself on the ground apologizing. "I meant that only as a joke. I wasn't trying to harm Yusei or anything. He's like an older brother to me. I also apologize for what I also did on stage, sitting in his lap and all. So please don't be mad.

Seeing Misty like that, sobbing as she apologized made me feel uneasy. Was I really that mad? I mean, maybe upset right? Okay, I was like a raging bull who wanted to harm her. But I was still in control. Sorta. God!

"It's okay Misty. I'm partly to blame as well. I mean, me getting worked up over a stranger is stupid of me. I didn't mean to scare you or anything," I told her.

"You were planning on harming her if I didn't stop you a while ago," Carly stated.

"Okay, so I was emotionally unstable. The point is no harm done, right? So, uhmm, Misty, I hope your still willing to put up with me and be my friend," I asked the her, still on the ground.

All of a sudden, she jumped up straight at me, hugging me, now crying in buckets, with my Yusei in between it all.

"Of course…I still want to be friends…with you," Misty cried in between sobs.

"Misty get off, Yusei might not be able to breathe with your melons of yours occupying his face," I replied to her with a smile.

Misty got off, smiling and drying her tears. She's now looking at me; at us, with a wicked glint in her eyes. She then faced Carly, who then turned to smile at me.

"It seems that my plan worked Misty," Carly said, still smiling. I'm confused by this.

"You didn't tell me that my life was on the line here," Misty huffed at Carly.

"Wait, you two planned this from the start?!" I shouted at them.

"Yep, although I didn't count on you having predatory instincts. Who knew that you hunt like a wild beast, seeing her prey almost devoured by another, beast? More like a lewd cat," Carly said while throwing a glance at Misty.

"Aki, dear, please tell us anything else we should know about you. My life was clearly in the balance a while ago," Misty mused.

"So you were faking everything from the start?" still not believing them.

"No. I was really scared. You made me piss my panties from pure terror. I promise not to get in the way anymore. But it was worth it. You two look so adorable," Misty giggled.

I glanced down. Yusei was still snuggling my chest like a pillow. He's like a little kid, watching him like this. In my arms no less.

"So, with that cleared up, Aki, what's your verdict on the academy's top guy?" Carly asked, clearly excited for my answer. Misty also leaned closer to hear what my answer is.

"Simple. He's mine," I say, planting a small kiss on Yusei's forehead. My Yusei.
