And a prime example on why Akimitsu's spying left a dastardly consequence.

Chapter 6: Awkward Morning

As early morning rises, Bao-Yi slowly opens her eyes after a restful night at the Jade Palace barracks and she lets out a small yawn and looks at her side where Sakamoto is sleeping at and she lets out a smile and just quietly got out of her bed to let her fiancee sleep a little bit longer and makes her way to the bathroom and the minute she came in...

"Who's there?" a voice called out.

"Good morning, Shizue." Bao-Yi said.

Shizue looked up and she saw that it was only Bao-Yi standing there and she lets out a relieved sigh that it's actually her and she said, "Hi, Bao-Yi. I thought you were Akimitsu."

Bao-Yi giggled softly at that response and she said, "Nope, it's just me."

"You sleep well?" asked Shizue.

"Oh, yes. Very much. Being in the Jade Palace is completely different from what I originally expected. But the best part of my restful night is sleeping with my beloved Sakamoto." Bao-Yi replied.

Shizue could tell that Bao-Yi is happy with her fiancee beside her and she said, "That sounds so sweet."

Unbeknownst to the two females, a certain wolf-peeper is watching through the shadows on the other side of the door and the minute he saw Shizue undress, he could not resist gaining a chance to stick around longer to watch her and Akimitsu started panting softly, making sure Shizue doesn't hear him because he does not want to risk getting beaten by her. But the grandest mistake was that he also saw Bao-Yi undressing too and all Akimitsu could do is just stand there, trying to get his hormones under control, which is challenging to do so when he feels the urge to get in the room and join in with them.

Minutes go by after Bao-Yi and Shizue were in separate showers and Akimitsu was still standing there, waiting for the perfect time to observe Shizue again and he was in his underwear at that time and just when the two females were done showering up, Akimitsu kept himself discreet and tried not to slip into the bathroom.

"So...what is it about Akimitsu you don't like so much? He seems very decent." Bao-Yi asked.

"Decent, maybe. But when you deal with a perverted, immature dog like Akimitsu, it's like raising a puppy at times and regardless if he spies on me or other women by accident or not, I can't tolerate with that." Shizue commented.

Akimitsu was a little offended by what she meant by that and he accidently tripped on his feet and burst open to the bathroom where both girls were looking at Akmitsu in shock that he spied on them...while they're still wearing towels. Both Bao-Yi and Shizue screamed loudly and Akimitsu get jolted by their screams like he didn't know what to do.

"I am so sorry! I...I just...how did I get here?" asked Akimitsu, a little shocked.

Shizue angrily growled at Akimitsu and replied, "I'll tell you...you were spying on us!"

Akimitsu tried to diffuse that excuse, but there was no denying that he spied on both ladies and he said, "No, no, no, no! I thought you were alone!"

"So you admit it!" Shizue screamed.

Bao-Yi looked up at Akimitsu for a second and she looked at him that reads, 'are you serious' written all over it and she asked, "Why would you spy on us?"

"First of all, I can't help myself. I'm just observing. And secondly, I didn't know you were in there. I would never deliberately spy on my friend's fiancee." Akimitsu explained.

"Observing...like to watch us naked so you could make the first move?" asked Shizue, gritting her teeth.

Akimitsu had no idea how to make it perfectly clear because it's very typical of him and he said, "You know, it actually sounded much better when I originally put it."

"Well...your underwear shows it." Shizue added.

"Look, I accidently slipped down and fell onto the door. What do you guys want from me?" Akimitsu added, but then got punched in the face by both Bao-Yi and Shizue.

"What's going on here?"

Sakamoto quickly ran towards the hallway where Akimitsu was found laying on the floor and he can tell he was up to his habits again and asked, "What did you do this time?"

Akimitsu looked at Sakamoto, shook his fur off and said, "It wasn't even my fault this time, Saka. I was about to go to the bathroom until I heard Shizue get in there, so I wanted to make sure she was all right...just to observe and..."

"You were spying, weren't you?" asked Sakamoto, folding his arms.

"Yes, he was. He spied on both of us!" Shizue exclaimed.

Sakamoto was a little confused when Shizue said 'us' in the frame and the minute Bao-Yi came out of the bathroom, the answer was clear; Akimitsu must've spied on his fiancee too and he turned to his wolf friend and asked, "You spied on my fiancee, did ya?"

"I didn't know she was in there to begin with. I didn't intend to spy on your girlfriend." Akimitsu added.

Shizue sighed at this because it was typical Akimitsu and she turned to both Bao-Yi and Sakamoto and asked, "See what I have to deal with here? It's the same thing every morning and night."

"Oh, I'm not mad at him, Shizue. You see...I know he didn't mean to spy on my fiancee." Sakamoto quickly said.

Shizue looked as if Sakamoto was defending Akimitsu, but the minute Sakamoto winked at both girls, both of them realized that he's got something up his sleeve that he'll use when the sparring starts and Shizue liked that idea and said, "I'll let it slide...for now."

What did Sakamoto meant when he said 'for now' and what's he up to? For the answer, stay tuned to the next chapter!
