Beware, Anita-bashing ahead.... You have been warned.
The Continuing Adventures of Micah by: DragonMouse ~( 8>
One day Micah woke up in the middle of a pile of leopards on Anita�s bed, sunshine streaming though the window. He groaned slightly and tried to roll over but there was a leopard on one side of him and another in human form on the other side. He was content to go back to sleep when he perked back up. �Did Anita ever come in last night?� he nudged Nathaniel, who was one body over, and questioned.
Nathaniel rubbed the sleep from his eyes and sat up slightly. �No. Unless she didn�t think there was enough room in here and went to the spare bedroom.�
Micah extracted himself from the pile slowly and carefully, pulled on a pair of lounge pants and went to check the younger leopard�s theory. Nathaniel followed him. The other bedroom was empty, just as Micah had expected. He went to the phone and dialed Anita�s cell number. The pard had forced her to buy one.
She picked up almost cheerfully on the second ring. �Hi Micah. I love this caller ID. I know who to ignore.�
�Anita, could you come to the house? Now. There is something we have to talk about.�
She was instantly on guard, Micah could tell from her voice. �What is it? Is something wrong?�
�Just,� Micah sighed, �Just come as soon as possible.�
�I�ll be there in two shakes of a leopard�s tail,� she replied cheerfully and hung up without saying good-bye. That was really starting to get on Micah�s nerves. And she was so freaking cheerful, she MUST have gotten some last night. The Namir-Raj shook his head in annoyance, and went to rouse the kitties.
When Anita arrived, the combined pards were assembled and lounging in the kitchen and living room, all wearing at least small scraps of fabric. They all stared as she wisked in the door, humming a cheerful tune. �So, what was it that you needed Micah?� She glanced about. �And why are they staring at me like that?�
�So you really did forget?� Nathaniel questioned.
�After you promised,� Cherry looked hurt
�Why? What was more important?� Micah glared. He had an idea, but wanted her to face it. Face it in front of all of them.
� I forgot- Oh no! I forgot! I can�t believe I wasn�t here for-�
Micah cut her off. �What were you doing all of last night and into this morning that took such great precedence over your responsibilities to the pard? This was a BIG thing last night. It�s not every day that two pards come together as one officially. And you missed it.�
Anita glanced around the room and saw only hostile or hurt eyes. �I- I was having rampant sex. With Jean-Claude. And Asher. Then Damien and Willy walked in accidentally and joined in. Then when those four had to go to bed for the day and Jason came in� We had sex and Richard happened to come over on pack business and he jumped into the fray. Hmmm, I can�t remember now if there was anyone else. Oh, wait! Dolph called in the middle and came over right away when he heard the commotion. So him too.�
All of the leopards blinked rapidly, trying to get the images out of their mind�s eye. Nathaniel burst into tears. �You won�t even sleep with ME!� he wailed.
�That�s it. The pard is coming with me. I have this freaking awesome townhouse in New Orleans. We are leaving all of us. Now. You are no longer Nimir-Ra.� Micah stood and went to gather anything in the house belonging to him.
The other leopards looked at each other, then at Anita still looking content about her sexual conquests, then at Micah�s retreating form. Suddenly, they raised a cheer and stormed after him to get their own stuff, Nathaniel crying along behind them.
The pard lived happily ever after in New Orleans under Micah�s direction.
