Yori made his way into his bedroom, as Touya headed for the bathroom. Tai and Katsumi looked at each other, glared, and jumped up simultaneously, dashing at full speed for Tai’s bedroom. They reached the door at the same time, and began comically shoving each other to the side, fighting to enter first.

“I get the bed, it’s mine!” shouted Tai as she shoved Katsumi’s face.

“Hell no! I outrank you!” Katsumi replied as she elbowed her friend’s ribs.

“I live here!”

“I’m shacking up with the leader!”

“I’ve done stuff in that bed with Touya that you and Kyo have only DREAMED about!”

Tension filled the house as both girls froze, hair standing on end. A tiny ‘chink… chink chink’ could be heard as Touya’s glasses fell from his nose. Just as Yori peeked his head out, confused by the sudden silence, an enraged Touya, fur sticking on end and tail stiff, lunged from the doorway of the bathroom.

”TAIII!!!!!” he roared, as he pounced on the terrified redhead. They both landed on the hard floor at the foot of her bed, Touya glaring down at Tai, whose hands and legs were being pinned down by his appendages. Her eyes were wide with terror.

No one had ever seen Touya this angry before. His whole body seemed to emit a horrible aura that quivered and shook the air. He was snarling deep in his throat, his lips were stretched thin, exposing his enlarged canines, and his ears were pulled back against his head. As Yori, Katsumi and Kyo all rushed forward, Touya stood up suddenly to face them, and-

The air seemed very light and empty as the man calmly took his glasses out from his pocket and placed them back on the bridge of his nose. His posture- no longer terrifyingly angry, but more relaxed- had seemed to change in a heartbeat. Looking at the three in the doorway, his expression stern, he said, “I must teach my ‘love muffin’ a little lesson on lying. In order to do so, we must make her statement true. Please, excuse us.” He promptly shut the door in three faces of disbelief and horror, and turned around to find a similar one staring up at him.
