Author's Note: I know I am writing a lot right now, but I like to take breaks and switch up stories. I always think of things that won't fit into my story somehow. They are usually funny and embarrassing...so embarrassing JR related stories now I have a place to go.

Caught Cheating?

Kaoruko had just come into town. Once again, Usagi tried to push her into staying somewhere else. I always felt bad when he did that. Kaoruko was fun to be around, and she was his only family that'd been nice to Misaki so far. Haruhiko and pushy...and Usagi's dad was...Anyway so I talked Usagi into letting Kaoruko stay here. My room was collecting dust anyway, and I had missed her more than I thought I would. I knew Usagi was jealous. I'd been baking with Kaoruko since she'd showed up at the front door uninvited. She bribed Usagi with a huge chair shaped like a bear. Kaoruko always brought presents, even if they were sort of useless.

So Usagi had been pouting for a couple days, but I was having fun and Kaoruko was happy. The good thing about having her around was that Usagi was so busy brooding, that he wasn't being a pervert. I was able to get all my school work done and read manga. I baked and was forced to watch girly shows with Kaoruko, which weren't so bad. It was on one of these normal afternoons that a girl situation occurred. I'd made some tea for me and Kaoruko to eat with some pastries. I'd delivered Usagi's coffee like usual. Mugs were piling up around his work space so I grabbed those too. "I need to get cigarettes." Usagi said this around the same time he usually did too.

"Be careful." He nodded and walked out.

"Misaki..." Kaoruko looked really uncomfortable. "Can I ask you for a favor?" She was squirming in his seat. Maybe she was a secret pervert! "I really...have to pee." So?

"I don't think I understand." She sighed.

"This kimono is hard to get off. I have to go now." Kaoruko always wore traditional clothing. I always figured it wasn't a problem for her to get it off whenever she wanted. But I knew how she felt. Going to the bathroom while wearing something difficult was nearly impossible. If Kaoruko ended up not being able to hold it and went right here...she would cry. "If you could just pull it up for me..."

"Alright. Let's hurry before Usagi comes back." Getting Kaoruko up the stairs was a challenge.

"My bladder is gonna explode." I ended up carrying her most of the way. "Okay I'll hold onto the sink. Kimono's are pretty form fitting and all the layers are annoying too. If you can just yank them up I can go."

"This is so weird." Kaoruko nodded.

"I'm supposed to be married before a guy can see my underwear. I don't mind if it's you though. You're nice." That didn't help.

I kneeled on the floor in front of Kaoruko. She gripped the counter until he knuckles were white. I pushed the top layer of her kimono up. "Crap. My underwear are getting all bunched up. You have to find them and pull them down first."

"I can't do that!" Kaoruko stared at me.

"Misaki you have to! I'm going to piss all over you if you don't!" I stared at the ground. I was really no help in a situation like this.

"Get in the bathtub." She looked confused.

"Well, this way if you can't hold it...there won't be a mess." Kaoruko stood in the bathtub. I searched under all her robes until I found her skin. She was freezing, just like Usagi. I yanked them down. They had little bears on them. "You like bears too?" She nodded.

'"It's not really important right now." Right. Koaruko was right about kimonos. She wore them they way they were meant to be worn back a million years ago. I was only exaggerating a little bit. She could be a geisha or something. They were heavy too. Kaoruko was holding up the ones I successfully pushed up, up by her waist.

I'd just pushed the last one up when I turned to see Usagi in the doorway. He had a weird look on his face. I turned to face Kaoruko. "Don't look!" It was then I realized I lifted the last robe and her underwear were around her ankles. She covered my eyes with her free hand. "I can't hold it anymore." I jumped out of the shower and pulled the curtain closed. I slumped on the ground near the toilet.

"What..." Usagi was barely ever not able to find something to say.

"Kaoruko had to go to the bathroom, but she wouldn't have been able to get her kimono off in time." It probably looked wrong. I knew how red I'd been, but I couldn't even imagine Koaruko's face.

"Could you guys leave? It's kind of awkward with you hearing me pee and all." I jumped up and walked out of the bathroom. I shut the door and stood in the hallway with Usagi.

When Kaoruko came out she asked me to come to her room. "Now I need help fixing it." She looked a mess now.

"I'll do what I can." It turned out that Kaoruko had to take it all off to fix it anyway. I stood in the corner while she put on new underwear and socks. Then I help her put everything back on. Usagi walked in while I was kneeling in front of Kaoruko and holding the robes together. My face was dangerously close to her thigh.

"What are you doing now?" He looked pissed.

"Fixing the kimono." Kaoruko answered. It was muffled because she had her hair ribbon in her mouth. She actually looked nice with her hair down.

"Kaoruko stop seducing Misaki." Her mouth popped open and formed a little "O'.

"I'm not!" Her ribbon fell and landed on my head. "We're almost done anyway." I tied a bow at the back of her kimono. I was used to tying Suzuki's bows so it looked nice. It was when I was sitting on the bed brushing Kaoruko's hair that Usagi came in again. His eye twitched.

"I'm just helping fix her hair." Usagi was the passed the point of listening. I sighed. "I'm done anyway." Usagi was sitting on the bed pouting when I went in his room. "I'll brush your hair too if you want." I thought he would refused me but he didn't.

"Your hair is already soft." I ran my fingers through it. "You don't even do anything to it though."

"Neither do you and your's is soft." I couldn't really tell. "So you've pretty much seen a girl naked. How do you feel?"

"I'm not telling you that!" I wasn't even sure myself. "I've seen girls in bathing suits and all on class trips. That's almost naked anyways."

"Are you even attracted to girls?" Where was this coming from?

"It depends on who it is." Usagi sat up. "What?"

"So you've had crushes on girls?" What was his problem?

"Sure. Everyone likes someone at some point." Why did he look so mad?

"Who was she?" Why would I tell him that?

"I was little. I don't remember well. If I did I wouldn't tell you. Why does it matter?" I looked down at the brush. I could feel Usagi staring at me intensely. "This is awkward. I'm going to start dinner."

Downstairs wasn't any better. Kaoruko was there, and every time we looked at each other one of us would blush and look away. It didn't help that Usagi had followed me and was getting angrier by the second. Dinner was quiet. "Can we stop being awkward?" I finally had to be the one to say something.

"Yeah I guess I did see you half naked before too." Kaoruko said after awhile. I still didn't want to think about that. "Yeah it was yesterday." She wasn't talking about the bear closet incident.

"When was that?" I stopped eating.

"Last night. I hadn't gone to bed yet. I was watching TV. You came downstairs like a zombie and started washing clothes. You took off your pants and shirt and put them in the washing machine." I wandered why I woke up like that. I peeked into the washing machine and my clothes were in there.

"That's not normal for me. I don't usually sleep walk or anything like that." Why didn't she mention it before?

"I figured you might get embarrassed if I said anything." And it wasn't embarrassing for me to help her pull her kimono up? I would never get the Usami family. The worst thing was I wasn't going to live until tomorrow because Usagi believed that somehow I needed to be punished. I could tell.
