Who's the Fool?: (Ikutachi X Barbatos) - COMPLETE

CHAPTER 1

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

“Barbatos, I know you’re in there!  Open the gosh darn door!”

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

“BARBATOS, OPEN THE DOOR!”

After 10 or so minutes of knocking, Barbatos finally opened the door.  His chest was bare from the waist up, a sheet hastily wrapped around his waist.  He yawned widely, rubbing his muscular chest at the same time.  Mira’s heart fluttered against her will, but she kept her face schooled despite the butterflies in her stomach.

“What the hell, Mira.  It’s 6:00 in the morning.  What could possibly be so damn important?”

Mira could smell the incense burning from inside the room.  The sound of rustling sheets caught her attention and she tried to peak in, but Barbatos blocked her view. 

“Master requires your assistance.”  Mira replied impatiently.  “There’s a sealstone event coming up and she wants to test out the new Phantom defense team.”

“At 6:00 in the morning?”

“It doesn’t matter what time of day it is.  If master says now, then she means now!  Be down stairs in 30 minutes.  And make sure you have clothes on this time.  Master doesn’t want to deal with another mass fainting fiasco.”

“Like it’s my fault women faint at the sight of me.  And some men, too.”  He added with a wink.

There was soft laughter from inside his room, and from the sound of it there was one female and one male.  Mira rolled her eyes. 

“Just hurry up and get downstairs.  Oh, and make sure your ‘friends’ find their way out of the mansion.  Empty-handed this time.  I’m tired of buying new sets of silver every time you have an overnight guest.”

He bowed dramatically, giving her one of his seductive smiles.  “You know, I wouldn’t have to bring home strangers if a certain someone would accept my advances.”

Mira’s cheeks flushed, her skin heating almost instantly.  “Not a chance!”  She snapped, turning on her heels and walking quickly down the hall.  Barbatos laughed softly, shutting the door behind him. 

“Who was that?”  The female asked sheepishly.  “Your girlfriend?”

“No, that was Mira.”  The male replied.  “And she’s not someone you want to mess with.  I think it’s time we took our leave.”

“What he said.”  Barbatos replied.  He let the sheet slip of his narrow hips as he wandered leisurely towards his closet.

“How am I supposed to leave with all that deliciousness in front of me?”  The female asked.

“Easy.”  The male said sweetly.  “Get up and get dressed.”

“What he said.”  Barbatos repeated.  “And make it quick.  I need to shower.”

“You heard the demon.  Let’s get moving.”

The male snatched the covers off the female, his eyes lingering a moment on her lush form.

“You know it doesn’t have to end here.”  She whispered, crawling towards the edge of the bed.  “Perhaps you and I can find a quiet place while Barbatos works.  You know, just you and me.”

“He’s mine.”  Barbatos stood at the foot of the bed, his eyes narrowing on the woman.

“If he’s yours then why did you bother sharing him with me?”
