It was a quiet evening over at the Noroi family home. Raksha was minding his own business, exercising in the exercise room with the music on...

"352....353....354...354....356....", Raksha counted to himself, pushing up into the hair with just one hand. A knock at the exercise room door caught his attention. "It's unlocked!", he exclaimed, still counting down his pushups. Yuki walked in, wearing a pair of red jeans and a light blue sweater carrying his purse. "You look like you're about to go out on a date, hun.", Raksha said, stopping with his pushups at 400. "I am! Nick just called and asked me to go to the movies with him.", Yuki said with a huge smile. Raksha chuckled and said, "You are so sweet on that husky, you know that?" Yuki giggled and nodded, then pulled a pair of keys from his purse. "Now remember, supper is already done, so you just have to reheat everything if you get hungry. Also, the water is out of order on this street, so you have to go to the bath house in order to get clean.", the hedgehog said.

"The water is still out?! This is the third time this week!", Raksha exclaimed. "Them are the breaks of living in the city, hun. Be back by ten!", Yuki said, walking out of the room. Raksha heard the front door close, and with the sound of the engine of Yuki's scooter, he was gone. The house went quiet minus the music playing in the exercise room. Raksha reached for a remote nearby him and turned the stereos off and walked to the kitchen to reheat his supper. His stomach growled when the scent of Yuki's Six-Cheese Lasagna hit his nose. "Yuki never does disappoint when it comes to supper time.", Raksha said to himself, cutting a piece of lasagna for himself and placed it gently in a plate, grabbing a few pieces of garlic bread to go with it. He went over to the table and sat down, reaching for a fork in the stationary holder on the table. He was just about to take his first bite of food when he heard the telephone ring. He sighed softly and placed his fork down. "I'm coming, I'm coming.", he said, walking over to the phone in the living room. He picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Raksha speaking."

"Oh, Raksha! I didn't know you were home from your last martial arts tournament! How are you?", a familiar voice spoke through the phone. "Well, if it isn't Misty. How have you been since I seen you last?", Raksha said. Misty giggled and replied, "I've been doing quite fine. It has been some time since I have seen you. I believe the last time we were together was when I shared part of Yukiko's punishment in your closet." Raksha chuckled when Misty brought that up. "I see that you remembered that day. Anyway, what's going on?", he asked.

"Actually, I was calling to see if Yuki would like to join me at the bath house. Since the water is out, I thought he would enjoy the company.", Misty said. Raksha chuckled and said, "Unfortunately, you just missed him. He went with Nick to the movies not too long ago." Misty groaned sadly when Raksha said that. "Aww! I missed him again!", she replied. "Don't worry about it, Misty. If you'd like, I can go with you. But only after I finish eating, of course.", Raksha replied. Misty squealed loudly when Raksha said that. "You?! Me?! Together?! YES!", she exclaimed.

"Take it easy, Misty. You're gonna give yourself a heart attack.", Raksha said gently. "I'll call you when I am at your place, ok?", he stated. "Sure thing. See you then!", Misty said, hanging up the phone on her end. Raksha placed the phone back on the reciever and chuckled softly. "Misty, your crush on me is so easy to see, it's cute.", he said. He returned to the kitchen and started eating his supper, purring happily from how the food tasted. It only took him a few moments to finish his entire supper. He walked over to the dish where he kept his keys and walked into the nearby bathroom to gather some bath supplies: his towels, as well as his shampoo and conditioner for his hair and fur. He grabbed a jacket and stepped outside, locking the door behind him. He walked over to the garage and stepped inside, switching the lights on to see a four-door tiger stripe painted Ferrari standing in front of him. He stepped into the car and switched it on, then backed out of his driveway and drove off to the McElroy Mansion.

It took Raksha almost 10 minutes to drive over to Misty's home. When he arrived there, he reached for his cellphone and dialed inside, hearing Misty answer the phone. "Misty? Yeah, it's Raksha. I'm outside waiting for ya.", Raksha said. "Oh, ok! I'll be out in just a minute!", Misty said, hanging up her phone again. Raksha drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, seeing a rather tall girl come out from the building. He chuckled as she walked around the car and crawled in beside him. "My, someone has gotten taller since the last time I have seen them too.", Raksha joked. Misty stuck her tongue out at him and said, "Very funny, Raksha."

Raksha pulled the car away from the house, driving towards the nearby bath house. "So, how is you and your family doing, Misty?", Raksha asked, turning on the heat from noticing Misty breathing on her hands. "Oh, everyone is doing quite fine. Right now, Cycilla and the kids are out of town, so it's just me and Yuki's brothers. What about you?", she asked. "Well, my kids are still at Duel Academy right now. They probably won't be back until the week before Christmas. Other than that, Yuki and I are doing quite fine. We get Skype calls from the young ones every night to check up on them and their progress in school.", Raksha replied.

"That's great. I am certain they will become great duelists, just like their mother. This is a really nice car...but I thought Ferraris were only two-door vehicles?", Misty said. "Well, this was originally a two-door car. But, after me and Yuki got married, he used his magic to make it the very first four-door Ferrari.", Raksha replied.

"That's pretty cool. I didn't know Yuki had magic that could do that. Oh, we're here!", Misty said, seeing the neon sign of the bath house. Raksha pulled up near the entrance, parking the car. He stepped out of the car with his things, helping Misty out from her side. She giggled and said, "What a gentleman." Raksha chuckled as he opened the building door, letting Misty walk in before him. Misty looked around and said, "It looks like there isn't many people here."

"That's because this is a mixed bath. Both men and women use the same bath area. Many of the people in town tend to go to the bath houses that have separate rooms for men and women.", Raksha said, walking over to the cashier. He pulled out his wallet and paid for two locker keys, handing one to Misty. "Your locker key. That way, no one can make off with your clothes.", Raksha said. Misty giggled as she and Raksha walked into the locker room. Both of them to their separate lockers and changed out of their clothes. Misty couldn't help but sneak a few peeks of Raksha's nude body, drooling from the sight. 'Yuki, you are one lucky person! Raksha is such a stud!', she thought to herself, wrapping herself up in a towel. Raksha tied up a small cloth around his hips, turning back around to Misty. "Welp, I'm heading in. See ya when you come inside.", he said, walking to the bath area. He looked around and found a empty bath, stepping into the warm water slowly. He sighed softly as he relaxed in the water, cleaning himself slowly. He heard the water splash slightly, and he looked up to see Misty stepping into the water as well. A trickle of blood fell from his nose when he saw her boobs jiggle with each step she took.

Misty giggled and said, "You're drooling, Raksha." Raksha chuckled and said, "Like you can talk. I know you were staring when I was getting undressed." Misty laughed when she sat down in the water. "So you caught me, huh? I couldn't help myself. You are a good-looking guy.", Misty said, scrubbing some shampoo into her hair. "Heh, thank you. I take that as a compliment.", Raksha replied. The two laughed at each other, time passing by as they helped each other get clean. There was even a few times the two groped each other, just for a simple tease.

An hour passed, and Misty yawned loudly. "Phew, I am tired. I think it's time to head on home, Raksha.", she said. Raksha nodded and said, "Yeah. It's almost closing time anyway. Let's head on out." Both Raksha and Misty stepped out of the warm water, walking over to where they left their towels. They dried themselves off and placed the wet cloths into some bags to keep them from dripping in the lobby. They walked out of the bath section and back into the locker room, getting dressed nice and warm into their clothes. With a few payments and the return of their locker keys, Raksha and Misty left the bath house for the car. On the way home, Raksha and Misty chatted mostly about some recent events, like Jayden and Cecil's wedding. Raksha stopped at Misty's house and said, "First stop, McElroy Manor." Misty giggled and kissed Raksha on his cheek saying, "Thanks for coming with me. It's always nice being with a friend, ya know?" Raksha nodded as Misty stepped out of his car. He waited until she was finally in her home, then drove off for his own home.

He drove into the familiar driveway of his home, parking his car in the garage. He yawned as he opened his front door, walking into the living room. He walked over to the couch and fell onto it, falling asleep rather quickly. A few hours passed, and Yuki returned home from his date with Nick. He smiled softly when he saw where Raksha was asleep. He walked over to a nearby closet and came back with a blanket, tossing it over the sleeping tiger. He kissed Raksha on the head gently and said, "Goodnight, my love. See you in the morning." With a clap of his hands, the lights in the room turned off, and Yuki retired to his bedroom for the night.
