~ Seventeen ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I awoke to find Madara sitting upright. I was curled on my side with my head pillowed on his thigh and the blue-violet kimono tucked snugly around me. I was still rolling in electrical blue, inside and out, but it wasn't nearly as distracting as it was before. I had no difficulty making out the conversation happening only a meter or so away.
A smoky feminine voice spoke with open amusement. "As if any mortal-built vehicle could keep up with us?"
A powerful masculine voice chuckled. "As if we would bother to follow human roads?"
I lifted my head to see pale elegant Hinoe sitting only a meter or so away dressed in her familiar flowered robes. At her side, Mitsuzu knelt in his midnight blue and frost white robes. I frowned at them. "You're back already?"
"Already?" Hinoe waved her long-stemmed pipe toward me. "Didn't you want to go home once the binding broke?"
My frown deepened. "Yes." I shook my head. "Wait, you're saying I've been here a whole night and day? It's Wednesday?"
Madara pulled a long-stemmed pipe from his sleeve. "As you humans say, time flies when having fun." He brought the stem of the pipe back to his lips and puffed out a curl of blue-gray smoke.
I blinked. He hadn't bothered to light the pipe.
Mitsuzu snorted. "It's Wednesday night, Master Natsume. The sun set roughly an hour ago."
I could only blink in astonishment. I spent a whole night and day having sex? I’d also slept of course, but still... I shook my head. Never mind that! While I’d been...here, Hinoe and Mitsuzu had been dodging Natori in my place. I looked from one to the other. "Natori... He didn't...hurt you?"
Hinoe smiled sourly. "Not at all." She puffed on her long-stemmed pipe and blew out a stream of smoke. "He couldn't even keep up with us."
"That sorcerer was not particularly bright." Mitsuzu waved a dark hand in dismissal. "It took him until this morning to catch on that we were decoys."
"Oh, good." I pushed to sit upright -- and my entire body protested. Everything ached, not just my...lower regions. My shoulders and elbows ached too. I folded my legs under me and my knees hurt as well. I winced. "The Fujiwara's...? Did they...?"
Mitsuzu shook his head, the gold bells on his ears jingling. His smile softened. "They never realized." He winked. "And the woman is a very good cook."
I blew out a sigh of relief. "Good, good..." Hopefully, I wouldn't have too much trouble to deal with when I got home.
"Speaking of which..." Mitsuzu leaned close and handed me a full plastic bag. "I thought you might be interested in...this."
I took the bag and opened it. It was crammed with plastic wrapped rice balls and meat pastries baked in the shape of fish. There was even a plastic bottle of tea. My mouth watered. It looked utterly delicious. I was suddenly reminded that I had missed dinner the night before, plus breakfast, lunch and possibly diner today too. My stomach took that moment to growl -- loudly.
All three spirits had a laugh at my expense.
I was too busy opening packages and devouring food to truly care.
Hinoe smirked with narrowed eyes, her lips curled back to show a hint of fangs. "So, did you enjoy yourself, young Natsume?"
I paused in mid-bite, then stuffed my mouth full and pretended I hadn't heard her.
Mitsuzu's smile was broad but his eyes narrowed. "You certainly look healthier." His gaze dropped.
I glanced down and discovered that I was completely nude except for the robe covering my lap. Shit! I hastily swallowed what was in my mouth and stuffed what was in my hand back into the bag. I then whirled around, turning to turn my back on them. Embarrassed and annoyed at my blunder, I tugged up the robe, shoved my arms into the sleeves, and yanked it closed perhaps a bit more violently than I should have. Thankfully, nothing ripped.
The small house echoed with loud laughter.
Madara casually held out a narrow red sash.
I snatched the sash from his hand then knotted it around my waist. Scowling, I turned back around and reached for the food bag.
Hinoe tilted her head and frowned. "Wait a moment, Natsume are you...taller?"
I paused in mid-grab.
Madara rose to his feet and held out his hand. "Stand up, Natsume."
"Err, okay." To my embarrassment, my knees hurt so much that I actually had to grip Madara's arm to rise to my feet. "Ow..." I looked up and discovered that my head came to his shoulder. I distinctly remembered only reaching his heart. I was taller.
Hinoe straightened and her eyes widened. "Oh...my."
Mitsuzu's white brows lifted over his blue eyes. "Well now, this is quite a...development."
Madara smiled rather smugly. "To borrow from the humans, I told you so."
I stared up at Madara. "Err, what's going on...?"
Madara shrugged. "You've eaten properly, so you've...filled out a bit."
"A bit...?" Hinoe snorted. "The clothes I brought aren't even going to fit him!"
I stared at her. "What...?"
Hinoe tisked, rose to her feet, walked over, and handed me a bundle. Her eyes were level with mine. "See for yourself."
I unfolded a familiar pair of jeans and a sweatshirt that looked as though they'd shrunk three whole sizes.
Mitsuzu grinned broadly. "It looks as though you're going home in that robe Natsume."
~ * ~
I did go home in the robe, and though I buried as much of me as I could in Madara's fur, it was a rather chilly ride through the darkness. I slipped into my bedroom window and headed straight for the shower to warm up -- and clean off.
It was then that I actually saw that the binding around my dick was gone. Natori's power over me had broken. I heaved a deep sigh of relief. "It's gone, thank God..."
Just outside my shower, Nyanko's creaky old-man's voice piped up. "You're welcome!"
I tossed a wet face-cloth in his general direction.
"Hey...! Ungrateful brat..."
After my shower, I unfolded the largest pair of pajamas I had. The bottoms were just roomy enough to get them on, but the hems were well above my ankles. I couldn't button the shirt closed at all and the sleeves were up around my forearms.
Frustrated and achy in more places than I cared to think about, I went back to my room, climbed into my futon and pulled up the covers. I threw my arm over my eyes and groaned. How the hell was I going to explain this to the Fujiwara's in the morning?
~ * ~
A rapping at my door woke me from a very deep sleep. The rapping was accompanied by a sweet and clearly concerned feminine voice. "Takashi? Takashi, are you awake?"
I groaned and sat up. "Yes, yes...! I'm up! I'm up!" I stretched out my arms and yawned. I looked over at my calendar just to be sure that I had my dates right. Yep, it really was Thursday.
The door slid open. "I hope you're feeling...better?"
Caught in the middle of my stretch, I blinked blearily at Touko. "Hm...?"
She blinked at me then stared wide-eyed. "Oh my..."
That's when I realized that she was staring at my bare chest because I was wearing pajamas that were clearly far too small for me. My face blazing with heat, I yanked up the covers up to my neck. "Err..."
Touko whirled on her heel and practically bolted down the hall. "Shigure! Shigure, I was right! Come see!" She sounded positively giddy.
I blinked after her completely lost. What the...?
Shigure's heavy footsteps hastened up the stairs. Moments later, Touko returned with Shigure at her side. "See, I was right!"
Shigure ducked his head into my door. "Oh..." He adjusted his narrow-framed glasses and blinked at me, then smiled at his wife. "Why so you were."
Touko clasped her hands, and grinned at me. "I just knew that's what was going on!"
Shigure looped an arm around his wife's waist and smiled down at her. "I told you all he needed was your cooking."
Touko leaned against her husband and positively glowed. "Why yes you did."
I stared at the both of them, completely confused. "I'm...sorry?" It was all I could think to say.
Touko blinked at me. "For what dear?"
"For um..." I looked away then simply stood up so they could see the full extent of the damage. I looked at the floor. "I seem to have...grown, overnight."
Shigure chuckled and shook his head. "You've been having aches and pains all week, so we figured it was this."
I tilted my head to the side, still completely confused. "This...?"
Touko nodded briskly. "Your growth spurt."
My mouth fell open. "Growth spurt...?"
Touko nodded. "The doctor told us when we first got you, that since you'd been--" She looked away briefly. "--Undernourished, you might suddenly--" She lifted her hands. "Shoot up, seemingly overnight." She smiled.
Shigure frowned. "He's definitely taller but..."
Touko pouted at her husband. "But...?"
Shigure scratched at his chin. "He still looks a bit on the...scrawny side. I think you better feed him up some more."
"Absolutely!" Touko nodded firmly and pushed her sleeves up her arms. "I'll make us all a full breakfast right away!" She turned and marched down the hall with determination in her stride.
My eyes widened and I stepped toward the door. "Oh but, you don't need to go that far...!"
Shigure set his hand on my shoulder, stopping me. "Yes she does." He leaned close to my ear and whispered. "She's very proud that her cooking has done you such obvious good. Don't ruin her victory."
I sighed and smiled. "Yes, sir."
He nodded. "Good now, err..." He looked me eye to eye, then down at my extremely small pajamas. "Let me see if I can find you something to wear." He smiled and winked. "I doubt anything you have will fit you any more." He turned on his heel and headed down the hall with an obvious spring to his step.
I stared after him, astounded that my strange growth was so easily accepted by the Fujiwaras.
Minutes later, Shigure came back with a pair of dungarees, a few plain white t-shirts, and a thick flannel shirt in green and brown plaid that he swore were all too small for him. He'd tucked in a pair of socks and boxers among the clothes, but I didn't find those until after he'd gone downstairs.
I took the clothes from his hands. "About school...?"
Shigure shook his head. "Not today." He turned to walk down the hall. "I can pretty much guarantee that Touko intends to take you clothes shopping." He lifted his hand in a wave. "Prepare yourself!"
I sighed. There was no preparation for Mrs. Touko Fujiwara on a shopping spree. It was something one could only endure.
After dressing, I went downstairs to have a humongous breakfast with the Fujiwara's, and ate every bite.
Shigure's prediction proved true. Touko insisted on tucking me into one of Shigure's old coats and taking me clothes shopping.
With Nyanko balanced on my right shoulder, I followed Touko at a brisk walk into the heart of the small town. I was then hauled in and out of every shop there was for pants, shirts, sweats, plain black school uniforms, shoes, flannel pajamas, socks, and underwear. Embarrassing as it was, Mrs. Fujiwara was clearly enjoying herself so I merely smiled and dragged the over-burdened wire cart.
Nyanko normally had a comment for nearly everything, but on that shopping trip, he was conspicuously silent. In fact, from the sly glances left, right, forward and behind, it was clear that he was actually acting the part of my bodyguard and watching out for me -- for once.
With both our arms full and the wire cart packed high, we went home for lunch. Surprisingly, I actually felt better. Many of the aches and pains that had plagued me that morning disappeared from the bending and stretching, and carrying.
After lunch, I was dragged back out to visit the local clinic for a doctor's appointment that Mrs. Fujiwara had apparently scheduled the day before. The doctor confirmed the Fujiwara's assessment of a long delayed growth spurt and I was sent home with a note for my teacher excusing my absences.
When we got home, Touko and I dove into the task of cleaning out all my old clothes to make room for my new clothes. I didn't have much so it only took about an hour.
Touko frowned at the single bag and lonely box of my old clothes. "My, my... If I had known you'd had so little, I would have taken you shopping sooner!"
I waved and smiled. "It's better this way. I'm glad that you didn't waste your money on clothes I would have outgrown."
Touko reached out to cup my cheeks and smiled. "Providing for a child is never a waste."
I stared into her warm gaze and felt a part of my heart crack. I wanted to say something, but her sentiment had literally stolen the words from my tongue.
Touko let me go and rose to her feet. "Since your clothes are still in good condition, I'm going to call the local children's shelter and have them come get them." Touko smiled at me and patted my shoulder. "And then I'll begin dinner!"
I stared at her in open astonishment. "Where does all your energy come from?"
She blinked then smiled warmly. "From love of course." She leaned close to kiss my brow then smiled and winked. "I believe you have some homework to do?"
I grimaced and nodded. "Yes, ma'am." I went back up to my room and dragged my folding table to the center of the room. Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting cross-legged on my thickest cushion surrounded by open books and notebooks.
And that was pretty much that. After homework came dinner with Shigure and Touko, then bath and bedtime -- a nice, normal evening. I set my alarm clock to wake up for school and smiled. I was kind of looking forward to seeing what my classmates thought of my new height.
I was also looking forward to seeing Natori now that the playing field had evened out. I had warned him that I wouldn't be kept on a leash. Hopefully, he'd learned his lesson.
