Tsubaki's Ticklish Experience

Tsubaki stretched her arms in the air and yawned, it had been a very long day. She and her Meister, Black*Star, had been on another one of their 'special lessons' today, and they had once again failed to bring in the Kishin soul that they'd gone out to collect for the DWMA. Tsubaki had gotten used to failing, since Black*Star was such a hot-head and she was always having to keep him under control so that he didn't destroy anything, but still, she loved the little idiot, no matter how stupid, arrogant and slightly obnoxious he was, he was still her partner and he would sooner give his life than allow anyone to harm her.
   Tsubaki smiled and walked into the bathroom, she'd run a hot bath for herself and was happy to finally be able to climb into it. She slipped out of her yellow bathrobe, letting it fall to the floor with a light thump! She then made her way over to the tub and smiled at the steaming pink, rose-scented water. She dipped a toe into the water experimentally, testing it's temperature. The second her toe made contact with the searing liquid, she quickly jerked her foot away, wincing at the heat of the water.
   "Hot!" she exclaimed painfully. The water was very hot, but not so hot that she wouldn't be able to get in. Slowly, she placed her foot in the water, allowing her sensitive skin to adjust to the hot temperature. Within a few seconds, she had gotten used to the heat of the water, and she cautiously slid herself completely into the tub, sighing with relief as the hot water soothed her sore muscles. Being in weapon form and changing from weapon to weapon took a lot out of her, it was killer on her back! "That feels good..." she sighed happily, sinking down in the water until everything below her nose was submerged.
   Tsubaki smiled and relaxed, sighing with pleasure under the water and causing bubbles to come up to the surface. She loved having a nice, hot bath after all of her and Black*Star's antics. It was always such a relief!
   "That looks like fun!" a familiar voice suddenly said. Tsubaki jumped with surprise and turned her gaze over to the door of the bathroom. It was wide open and standing in the doorway was a familiar figure. A small black cat with a curly tail, big, yellow, lamp-like eyes and a witch's hat with a square swirl on the top, the cat smiled at Tsubaki deviously and snickered at her embarrassment.
   Tsubaki brought her head up out of the water and smiled at her friend. "Oh! Hi, Blair. What brings you here?"
   Blair shrugged and padded over to the tub, she then stood up on her hind legs, placing her front paws on the edge of the tub. She gave Tsubaki a sad look and sighed. "I'm bored! Maka's still in the infirmary and Soul won't play with me! So I thought I'd drop by and see Black*Star...but he's in there doing those weird handstand push up thingies!" she complained pitifully.
   Tsubaki's sweet and caring nature took over and she immediately felt bad for the poor little kitty. She was pitiful! Those big cat eyes of hers looking so sad melted Tsubaki's gentle heart.
   "Aw! I'm sorry, Blair. Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked, giving Blair her usual sweet smile. Blair stared at her for a moment, her big, yellow cat eyes twinkling with curiosity as she thought about Tsubaki's offer.
   "I dunno...I guess so. What do you do for fun?" Blair inquired. Tsubaki shrugged, she really didn't know, she always just went along with whatever other people wanted to do, it was her personality.
   "Um, what do you like to do for fun?" she asked Blair.
   "Meow? I just asked you that!" Blair replied, a look of suspicion on her catty face, Tsubaki blushed and looked away shyly.
   "I know...but, um...wouldn't it be more fun for you if we did something that you liked to do?" Tsubaki answered, trying to save herself from further embarrassment. Blair cocked her head to the side curiously, contemplating over what Tsubaki had said.
   "Hmmm, that's a valid point...but I like to do a whole lot of things! Which one do we do?" Blair inquired.
   "Um, what do you like to do the most?" Tsubaki asked, Blair put her paw on her chin and thought to herself for a moment. Tsubaki knew that the cat could be pretty impossible sometimes, but she lived and matched soul wavelengths with Black*Star...nothing was more impossible than that...except maybe Excalibur.
   "Hmmmm... Oh! I know! But I don't think you would like that..." Blair said finally, an evil grin spreading across her face, Tsubaki looked at her curiously, wondering what the cat meant by that and what she had in mind.
   "What is it?" Tsubaki asked curiously, smiling sweetly at Blair. She was always up for listening to other people's ideas.
   "You really wanna know?" Blair inquired with a devious glint her eyes, Tsubaki nodded, leaning forward eagerly to hear Blair's idea, the black cat giggled and twitched her tail. "Well, before I tell you, I gotta ask you a question.....Tsubaki, you're ticklish, right?" 
   Tsubaki was taken back by the question, she stared at Blair with surprise, was she serious? Tsubaki was indeed extremely ticklish, she hadn't been tickled in a long time though, the last person that had tickled her was her dad....and that had been when she was little, he'd tickled her and her brother all the time, Tsubaki hated being tickled though, it was torture since she was so ticklish.
   "U-um.....yes, I am, why?" she answered nervously, not sure why Blair had asked such a question. The little black cat's eyes gleamed with excitement upon hearing that and she giggled happily.
   "Really?! That's great!" Blair replied, without answering Tsubaki's question.
   "Um, why?" Tsubaki asked once, she was patient when it came to these sort of things, so she wasn't angry that Blair had ignored her question, she was a cat after all, they were all self-centered creatures and Blair was no different.
   "Well, if I told you that, then what fun would the game be?" Blair asked in a playful way. Tsubaki gave her a suspicious look, she was trusting and sweet, but she knew better than to just go along with Blair and do anything without first finding out all the details.....she'd learned the hard way not to ever trust the devious cat.
   Before Tsubaki could protest though, Blair quickly moved away from the tub, she walked over to the door and used her magic to open it, she quickly padded out and shut it behind her once more. Tsubaki stared at the door for a moment, wondering where the little cat had gone to, had she made her mad?
   Suddenly, Tsubaki heard Black*Star give his usual shout of excitement from the other side of the door.
   "YAHOO! A NEW MISSION?! IT'LL BE CAKE FOR A BIG MAN LIKE ME! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Black*Star shouted in his usual loud manner. Just then, the bathroom door flew open, Tsubaki gave a shout of surprise and hid herself down in the water, leaving only her eyes visible. Black*Star was standing in the doorway with a huge grin on his face, he had his hand over his eyes but he was peeping through two of his open fingers, so the effect of covering his eyes was ruined.
   "Black*Star! Get out!" Tsubaki shouted at him, bringing her head up above the water just enough so that she could yell at him, she quickly grabbed a shuriken from underneath the mat at the bottom of the tub, she kept them there for situations like this one. He had three seconds before the shuriken was embedded between his eyes, the little idiot knew this well, but he still didn't leave, he merely stood in the door and grinned happily.
   "Tsubaki! I'm goin' on a cool mission for Blair! Can you transform into a fishing pole? I gotta go catch some monster fish, and I'll need a strong pole for that!" he asked her eagerly.
   Tsubaki gave him a confused look. A fishing pole? She couldn't change into a fishing pole! All she could turn into was a chain-scythe, a ninja blade, a gigantic shuriken, a smoke-bomb and the legendary katana of darkness, the Enchanted Blade. She was a weapon, not a tool to be used for fishing!
   "No! Now, get out!" she shouted at him angrily, throwing the shuriken in her hand in one swift movement, Black*Star was good, but he'd never dodged one of Tsubaki's shuriken before, he was good, but she was better. The shuriken found it's target right between his green eyes. Black*Star stood there for a second, going cross-eyed to stare at the shuriken, then, suddenly, he fell backwards onto the floor, a little spout of blood coming up from his forehead.
   "Could a just.....said no...." he said in a dying voice, Tsubaki gave him a cheerful smile, like she always did whenever the little peeping Tom tried to spy on her while she was bathing and she took him out with a shuriken.
   "But if I'd done that, then you would've still been in here, wouldn't you?" she said cheerfully.
   "Ugh.....I'll leave now....." he said weakly, Tsubaki gave him a happy thumbs-up.
   "Ok! Be safe out there and good luck!" she said happily, Black*Star returned her thumbs-up and then rolled over on his stomach, dragging himself away from the bathroom slowly.
   Moments later, Tsubaki heard the door to their house open and close. She smiled and slid back down into the hot water of the tub, she closed her eyes and relaxed once more, certain that there would be no more interruptions.
   "Finally, he's gone!" Blair suddenly cheered, scaring the crap out of Tsubaki once more, she glared over at the little black cat that was now sitting on the toilet and smiling at her.
   "What?" Tsubaki asked with confusion.
   "Black*Star would've been in the way. So I got rid of him, he went to catch some giant fish for me! I told him that it was a task I was about to go get Kid and the Thompsons to do, he fell for it hook line and fishy!" Blair giggled deviously.
   "What do you mean he would've been in the way? In the way of what?" Tsubaki asked suspiciously, she didn't like that devious glint in the cat's eyes, it gave her a very uneasy feeling.
   "Of the game, silly! We couldn't play with him here!" Blair answered as if this were obvious and Tsubaki had asked a very stupid question.
   "What game?" Tsubaki inquired, becoming more and more uneasy by the second.
   "You ask too many questions!" Blair scolded with a cheerful expression, Tsubaki narrowed her eyes at the cat suspiciously, she was dodging her questions. Before Tsubaki could question the cat further, she jumped off of the toilet seat and trotted out of the bathroom again, humming happily to herself as she went. "Be right back! You enjoy your bath!"
   The door closed behind Blair as she went out, Tsubaki stared after her curiously, still very suspicious as to what the little cat was up to. She waited a few minutes, but when the cat still didn't return, she shrugged and sank back into her bath blissfully, closing her eyes and relaxing peacefully.....

   Tsubaki awoke with a jolt. I must've fallen asleep, she thought to herself with a sleepy smile. She yawned and started to stretch her arms in the air, but it was then that she came to the stunning realization that she couldn't stretch her arms up, in fact, she couldn't even move, she was strapped down to a cushioned reclining chair!
   "Wh-what the?!" Tsubaki exclaimed fearfully, she wasn't bound by anything and she was dressed in her usual outfit, the chair she was in was actually really comfortable, that much was a relief, she was reclined back in the large black chair and the footrest was up, her legs were outstretched on it and her feet were bare, exposing her cute, size nine feet, she had recently painted her toenails and they were still a shiny black color with little Lord Death skulls on them. Tsubaki looked around nervously, trying to make sense of her surroundings, from what she could tell, she was in a dark room, but she couldn't see anything at all, to her all everything past the end of the chair was pitch black and hidden by darkness.
   "So, you're finally awake?" a voice chimed from the darkness, Tsubaki looked around, trying to locate the mysterious person, but she saw no one. That voice though.....it sounded like.....
   "Blair! What're you doing? Let me outta here!" she demanded angrily.
   "But, you said you'd play with me, Tsubaki!" Blair complained, her voice seemed to be resonating from the darkness surrounding Tsubaki and seemed to be coming from everywhere at once.
   "This isn't playing, Blair! This is kidnapping, that's illegal!" Tsubaki scolded the annoying little cat, wherever she was.
   "Nuh-uh! You're not tied up or anything, and I didn't drug you or grab you from a store and hall you off anywhere! So, this isn't kidnapping at all!" Blair retorted.
   "Blair, kidnapping is holding someone against their will!" Tsubaki informed the stupid cat, she was beginning to get annoyed now, she could handle stupid antics and obnoxious people, but this was just outrageous!
   Blair didn't reply, she remained perfectly silent, Tsubaki could hear her breathing though, it was faint, but it was there, as a trained assassin she was able to detect her target wherever they were by sensing their soul wavelength and hearing their breath. Currently, Blair was near her feet and she was slowly edging her way closer and closer to them. 
   "B-Blair, what're you d-doing?" she asked nervously, she could feel the cat's warm breath on her right foot now and she was beginning to get nervous, what was Blair planning to do?
   Suddenly, something warm and scratchy slid all the up Tsubaki's foot, her blue eyes grew wide and a ticklish squeal escaped her lips, followed by a stream of hysterical laughter.
   "EEEP! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! B-BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO! THAT TIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLES! IHIHIHHIHIHIHIT TIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLES REALLY BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAD! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! WHAT'RE YOU DOING?! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tsubaki laughed, whatever Blair was doing, it tickled her insanely, she'd forgotten what it was like to be tickled, but she didn't like it anymore than she had in the past.
   The warm, scratchy thing on her foot, suddenly stopped and Tsubaki gasped for air after  that long stream of breathless laughter.
   "Wow! Their even tastier than Maka's feet were, and that's saying something!" Blair giggled, Tsubaki was shocked by the cat's words, she'd been licking her feet?! How disgusting!
   "Blair! Don't do that!" she ordered angrily, feeling her cheeks grow hot with embarrassment at the fact that she'd just had her feet licked.
   "Why not? They taste really good and you have an absolutely adorable laugh, Tsubaki!" Blair complimented cheerily.
   "Th-thank you, Blair, but seriously, don't- *Gasp* Nohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho! Dohohohohohohohohohohohohon't! Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe! Stohohohohohohohohohohohohohohop! Not the tohohohohohohohohohohohohohoes!" Tsubaki giggled as she suddenly felt something warm and soft wriggling in between her toes.
   "Awww! I can't even tickle you with my tail?" Blair whined. "What about my claws?"
   "Nohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho! Not the clahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaws!" Tsubaki protested, but the little cat didn't listen, she merely giggled evilly and Tsubaki felt several sharp objects touch the souls of both of her and started scraping up and down them while Blair's tail continued to tease her sensitive toes. Tsubaki was immediately sent into a fit of great hysterics. "AAAAAH! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAIR! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! EEEK! STOP! STOP! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP!"
   "Wow, you're so ticklish!" Blair giggled happily. Tsubaki swore once she got out of this, the little cat would pay dearly.
   "STOOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! I'M TOO TIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLISH! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!" Tsubaki laughed and wished she could move around to at least lesson the tickling by a little bit, but unfortunately she still couldn't move a muscle and that worsened the tickling by tenfold.
   "But, this is so fun!" Blair said in a deviously tone.
   "NO IT'S NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOT! EEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE NOT THE TOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOES! NOT THE TOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOES! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR QUIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI!" Tsubaki laughed in reply, she could feel tears coming to her eyes now from all of the laughter.
   "You're not having fun Tsubaki?" she asked.
    "NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO! NOHOHOHOW STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tsubaki laughed hysterically, the little cat was evil! Her idea of fun was to torture Tsubaki, what had she gotten herself into by agreeing to play?!
   "Fine. I won't tickle your feet anymore!" Blair said, sounding disappointed. The tickling to Tsubaki's feet and toes suddenly stopped and she sucked in a relieved breath of air.
   "*Pant* Thank....you *Pant*.....now let *Pant* me go..." she said while catching her. 
   "Why? We're not done playing yet!" Blair replied evilly.
   "Wh-what?!" Tsubaki asked with shock and terror.
   Suddenly, the black cat appeared on the footrest of the recliner, sitting in between Tsubaki's feet. The little black cat gave Tsubaki a devious grin and started rubbing up against her right foot, Tsubaki gave a little ticklish squeak, and bit her bottom lip to try and keep the giggles that were welling up inside of her form escaping her lips.
   "Their so soft and warm, Tsubaki! Do you ever get pedicures? Or do you just naturally have perfect feet?" Blair inquired, she stopped rubbing Tsubaki's right foot and instead started to rub up against her left foot, earning another ticklish squeak from the ultra ticklish weapon.
   "Stop! Nnnh!" Tsubaki managed to say without giggling, but she didn't trust herself to say more, because she knew that the laughter would flow out of her if she did and once it escaped her lips, there would no stopping it's flow.
   "Why? Doesn't it feel nice? Maka said it did!" Blair replied with a sly smile. So Blair had already done this to Maka too? No doubt she'd done this very same thing several times to poor Maka since she lived with Blair, Tsubaki suddenly had an added respect for the Scythe Meister, she could wield Soul and deal with his stubbornness and also live Blair! She must've been tougher and more controlled than Tsubaki had ever realized.
   Blair suddenly stopped rubbing up against Tsubaki's foot, Tsubaki sighed with relief as she was able to stop resisting the ticklish sensation. She gave Blair a fearful look as the little black cat padded up to her stomach and jumped up onto it, she then sat down promptly and stared at Tsubaki deviously.
   "B-Blair, please let me go!" Tsubaki pleaded, hoping that she could possibly reason with the cat, but to her dismay Blair shook her head vigorously.
   "Nuh-uh! I didn't get to tickle Maka's belly! Sooooo.....I'm gonna tickle yours!" Blair declared evilly. Tsubaki was suddenly filled with a new fear, her feet were ticklish all right, but her belly was something else entirely, if Blair tickled her there.....well she might pass out from laughter.
   "N-no! P-please, Blair, don't do that! I'll do whatever you want, just please don't tickle my belly!" she pleaded fearfully, but the little cat didn't listen, she giggled evilly and held up her right forepaw, with a chink! small white claws came out of her paw, she smiled evilly and leaned down, she stuck her claws into the fabric of Tsubaki's yellow dress, she quickly started carving into it, cutting it away from her stomach to leave it's sensitive skin exposed.
   "Hey! Quit it!" Tsubaki shouted angrily at Blair.
   The little cat ignored her and continued tearing the fabric until finally, Tsubaki's entire stomach was visible, up to just below her breasts there was a gaping hole in her outfit.
   "Don't worry, I'll fix it with my magic later!" Blair assured her, then the evil glint in her eye returned. "Now, I'm gonna tickle your super soft belly!"
   "No don- *Gasp* AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOOOO! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! STOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE! NOT THE BEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHELLY! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tsubaki began, but was quickly cut off as Blair began to scratch her claws against her delicate stomach, Blair's claws weren't that sharp and she wasn't digging into Tsubaki's skin, so it didn't hurt all, it just tickled like crazy!
   "Oh, wow! You're really ticklish huh, Tsubaki?" Blair teased, she giggled happily and grinned at Tsubaki like she were some sort of play toy made for her personal enjoyment.
   "AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! QUIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIT! THAT TIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLES SO BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAD! EEEEP! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! CUT IT OUT! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tsubaki laughed hysterically, feeling the tears come to her eyes once more, this was utter torture! She would definitely get revenge on this evil little cat for this!
   "Oh, ok! No more claws!" Blair giggled, Tsubaki was relieved to feel Blair draw her claws away from her sensitive skin.
   "Thanks....will you *Pant* let me go now?....*Pant*" Tsubaki asked hopefully while catching her breath. But yet again, Blair shook her head vigorously and gave Tsubaki that same evil grin.
   "Nope!" she said deviously, Tsubaki's jaw dropped with disbelief, what more did this demon cat plan to her through?!
   Blair grinned evilly and Tsubaki knew that she had something truly evil planned.
   "Your feet are sure tasty, Tsubaki....but I wonder, what's your belly taste like?!" she giggled with excitement, Tsubaki's eyes grew wide with fear at the thought of Blair's warm, scratchy tongue on her stomach, it had been pure torture on her foot and that had only been for a few seconds, now she had to endure it on her stomach too? Her most sensitive area? She was doomed!
   "Blair, please! You can lick my feet all you want, but don't lick my belly, please!" Tsubaki pleaded, attempting once more to reason with the unreasonable cat, but to her little surprise and much dismay, Blair stuck out her little pink cat tongue and leaned forward, seconds later, Tsubaki felt the warm scratchy surface on her stomach and she was sent into a fit of very loud laughter. "AAAAAAAH! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! QUIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIT! EEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!"
   "Yummy!" Blair said between licks. 
   "STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! EEP! NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOOO! NOT THE BELLYBUTTON TOO! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIR STOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOP! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! CUT IT OUT!" Tsubaki squealed and laughed, wishing desperately that she could move so that she could toss Blair out the nearest window.
   Blair licked Tsubaki's stomach and bellybutton for what seemed like an eternity. Tsubaki was certain that she was going to pass out, but finally, the evil little black cat stopped licking and smiled up at her once more.
   "Was that fun?" she inquired. Tsubaki didn't answer at first, because she was still desperately trying to catch her breath after that deadly ticklish onslaught, but once she finally caught her breath, she glared at Blair and gave her a piece of her mind.
   "Yes, actually it was," she said shyly, Blair nodded with approval as if she'd known that this would be Tsubaki's reply.
   "I know right! Tickling's a blast, I love to be tickled!" Blair replied with a happy grin. Tsubaki had surprised herself with her reply, now that she'd been able to catch her breath finally and think about it, she really had enjoyed the tickling session, and now that she thought about, she'd very much enjoyed being tickled when she was younger too, she'd just forgotten it's fun qualities.
   "Is that so?" Tsubaki inquired, giving Blair a sweet smile. The little cat bobbed her head up and happily.
   "Yup!" she confirmed.
   "Well, maybe I'll have to tickle you sometime to get you back for tickling me this time, would that be ok?" Tsubaki asked, her usual shy nature returning now that she wasn't undergoing the tickling anymore.
   Blair place a paw on her chin and thought for a moment. "Hmmm....sure! That sounds like fun!"
   Tsubaki was happy to hear that, it would be fun to tickle Blair, not for vengeance though, Tsubaki didn't believe in vengeance. If she tickled Blair it would solely because she wanted to in order to have fun.
   "Ok! So, um....can you let me go now?" Tsubaki asked with a hopeful smile, Blair raised an eyebrow at her curiously.
   "You're already free, Tsubaki. Just open your eyes." Blair replied in a calm voice.
   "What?" Tsubaki asked in confusion, what was Blair talking about, her eyes were open, so why was she.....

   "Hey! Wake up, Tsubaki! You'll get all wrinkly if you stay in the tub too long!" 
   Tsubaki's eyes snapped open, she around curiously and found herself sitting in the hot water of the bathtub once more, Blair was by her side staring at her with a worried expression.
   "Wh-what happened?" she asked, still groggy from sleep.
   "Um, you kinda fell asleep and wouldn't wake up! I was worried about you, you kept giggling in your sleep! You must've been having a good dream, huh?" Blair explained. Tsubaki was surprised, it had all been a dream? But it had seemed so real.
   "A....dream?" she asked in disbelief.
   "Yeah!" Blair nodded.
   "Oh....I-I see...."  she said absentmindedly, remembering the dream she'd had vividly.
   "Um, yeah. So, you still wanna play with me?!" Blair asked excitedly, Tsubaki stared at the little black cat for a moment, wondering if she was telling the truth about it all just being a dream or if she was just messing with her. Finally though, she decided that Blair was speaking the truth, she trusted Blair. She smiled in a friendly way and nodded happily.
   "Sure, what do you wanna play?" she asked sweetly.
   Blair giggled deviously and gave Tsubaki an evil grin. "The tickle game!"
   Tsubaki had expected that to be Blair's answer and she was happy that it was, now her dream could become a fun reality, except this time, she would tickle Blair too!
   "All right, but on one condition," she replied, Blair gave her a curious look and she continued. "You have to let me tickle you first."
   "All right! Let's go!" Blair giggled with excitement, Tsubaki nodded happily and got out the tub, she let the water drain out, dried herself off and then put on a fresh white robe. Then, she and the little black cat promptly headed out of the bathroom and went to Tsubaki's room, where they would commence with their tickling game. 
    Tsubaki never noticed the devious glint in Blair's eyes, nor did she notice the black recliner that was sitting in the living room as they passed by it, Blair made sure that it disappeared and went back to Stein's house where it rightfully belonged, it had done it's work and Blair had had her fun with Tsubaki, now it was her turn to get tickled and she was looking forward to it.......


THE END......
