Content: Morning had found its way to the apartment Tohru and Kanna shared with Miss Kobayashi. Tohru stirred. She rubbed her eyes, but her attention was immediately diverted to the feeling of something… wet.

Kanna was still peacefully asleep next to her. The larger dragon lifted the covers.

A large wet patch had formed on the bed beneath the sleeping Kanna, seeping its way over to Tohru’s section of the mattress. As Tohru lowered the bedding and went to get up, Kanna awoke.

‘’Good morning, Kanna,’’ said Tohru, but the younger dragon ignored her, quickly noticing her accident. A few tears formed in the corners of her eyes.

‘’Don’t tell Kobayashi,’’ she implored.

‘’There’s no need to cry, Kanna,’’ Tohru replied, petting the small dragon-girl on the head reassuringly. ‘’Go get yourself cleaned up, and I’ll take care of the bed later.’’

‘’Don’t tell Kobayashi,’’ Kanna repeated.

‘’I won’t, I won’t,’’ said Tohru.

Tohru carried a bucket of soapy water into the bedroom later that morning after Kanna had gone to school and Miss Kobayashi to work. Kanna’s insistence that she not tell Kobayashi about her bedwetting was slightly strange to her, but she chalked it up to embarrassment as she scrubbed the wet spot on the mattress. Replacing the freshly-washed bedding after the mattress had dried, Tohru sang one of her little songs about ‘’death to the world’’ and figured the morning’s drama was behind them.

After she and Kanna woke up in a puddle two more times in less than two weeks however, she realized that wasn’t quite the case.

On the evening after Kanna’s third accident, Tohru sat down with Miss Kobayashi after their young charge had gone to bed. ‘’Uh, Kobayashi,’’ Tohru nervously began, as if she was confessing to wetting the bed herself, ‘’...I need to talk to you about… Kanna.’’

‘’Oh?’’ replied Kobayashi. She picked up the concern on Tohru’s face. ‘’What’s the matter with Kanna?’’

‘’Well, I told her I wouldn’t tell you, but… there’s been three nights lately that she’s wet the bed.’’

‘’Ah, well, that’s fairly common, in human kids anyway,’’ Kobayashi replied. ‘’But I guess she’s probably embarrassed.’’ She took a drink from her can of beer. ‘’Is it common for dragons too?’’

‘’Hmm, well, I never did it, but I guess it’s not unheard of for dragons,’’ said Tohru.

Kobayashi was quiet for a moment, her eyes on the can. ‘’I assume you’ve been taking care of the bed afterwards?’’ she asked Tohru.

‘’Yes,’’ Tohru replied, ‘’but despite my cleaning efforts, the mattress has been pretty badly stained.’’

Miss Kobayashi sighed slightly. She lifted her gaze from the can and looked across the room. ‘’Well, I suppose we’ll have to do something then.’’

‘’But she’s going to be angry with me for telling you,’’ Tohru began, somewhat panically. ‘’You’re not going to punish her, are you?’’

‘’Oh, of course not,’’ replied Kobayashi. ‘’We’re going to help her.’’ She lifted the can to her mouth and downed a good portion of the beer. ‘’I’ll get some things after work tomorrow. Keep her up until I get home.’’

Kanna had already eaten dinner and was watching TV in her nightgown when the apartment door opened the following evening. ‘’Welcome home, Miss Kobayashi,’’ said Tohru, but her eyes were on the plastic shopping bag in Miss Kobayashi’s hand.

‘’Kanna, come here for a minute,’’ the home’s only human inhabitant instructed, putting the bag on the floor and sitting down on the couch.

‘’Kobayashi,’’ Kanna greeted her with an embrace. Miss Kobayashi smiled and pet her head.

‘’Kanna,’’ Kobayashi began, ‘’I don’t want you to get angry with Tohru, because she did the right thing by telling me. But I’ve heard you’ve been…’’ Kobayashi took a minute to carefully consider her choice of words, ‘’...having some trouble with staying dry at night?’’

Despite her human guardian’s calm demeanor, Kanna looked away. ‘’Now, it’s OK, Kanna,’’ Kobayashi consoled, reaching out her hand. But when the young dragon looked at her again, tears were running down her cheeks.

‘’Are you going to make me lie in it?’’ she asked.

‘’Wha…?’’ replied Miss Kobayashi. ‘’In your pee? No, why would I do that?’’

Kanna was choked up on her tears. She wiped her face on her sleeve. ‘’My pa… parents made me, when it happened in ou… our world,’’ she replied.

‘’Well, that answers my question about whether this has happened before or just started,’’ said Miss Kobayashi. She brought Kanna close. ‘’Kanna, what your parents did was awful,’’ she said. ‘’But we won’t let that happen here.’’ She reached around the edge of the couch for the shopping bag. ‘’I have some things here for you that should make you more comfortable at night.’’

From the bag Kobayashi lifted a rectangular, plastic-wrapped package. Dark blue with stars, Kobayashi held it in her lap.

Kanna studied the parcel for a moment. Happy Nights Pants, for girls, super-absorbent protection for bedtime, read the writing on it. She realized what it was, but remained silent.

‘’But Kanna’s rather old for dia…’’ began Tohru, who was standing nearby, but Kobayashi shot her a look with her dead-fish eyes that clearly meant ‘’NO.’’ Tohru got the message.

‘’Now, I know you may be embarrassed by having to wear these… pants,’’ said Kobayashi, ‘’but plenty of kids have this issue, and plenty wear these too. It’s a lot better than waking up soaked in the morning, right? And I’m sure Tohru would rather stay dry too.’’ She handed the package to the dragon-girl and took one more item out of the bag. ‘’And I have this special cover to put on the mattress, to protect it as well. So how about you go put on one of your nighttime pants, while I go fix up the bed?’’

Kanna sat silently on the couch, staring down at the package of diapers she held. Kobayashi pet her head again. ‘’This isn’t punishment, Kanna. It’s to help you, OK?’’ she said.

The young dragon nodded, and taking the diapers, headed towards the toilet.

‘’Well, that could have gone worse,’’ said Miss Kobayashi, getting off the couch and clutching her lower back.

Kanna returned home from school one afternoon to Tohru’s usual greeting. Taking off her backpack and dropping it on the couch, the older dragon noticed Kanna looked rather glum.

‘’How was school, Kanna?’’ she inquired. ‘’Something bad happen? You look kind of upset.’’

Kanna took her favorite pillow and sat down, holding it in her lap. ‘’It’s Saikawa. She wants to have a sleepover with me tomorrow.’’

‘’Well that sounds fun,’’ said Tohru, ‘’...so why do you look… so down…?’’ As she said it, Tohru realized she already knew the answer.

‘’I can’t go when I have to wear… diapers,’’ replied Kanna. She clutched the pillow a little tighter and looked down at the floor.

It had been a few weeks since Miss Kobayashi brought home ‘’nighttime pants’’ for Kanna. She was never particularly thrilled the handful of times she had woken up in a wet one since then, but she was glad that at least everything else stayed dry. She was beginning to accept her protection, but still was far from wanting anyone else to know about it.

Having been informed of Kanna’s dilemma by Tohru that night, Kobayashi had a word with her over breakfast the next morning. ‘’Kanna,’’ she said, ‘’Tohru tells me Saikawa wants you to come to a sleepover? Do you want to go?’’

The young dragon’s eyes again looked downward. ‘’Not when I wear diapers,’’ she replied.

‘’That’s no reason to miss out,’’ said Kobayashi. ‘’Change in the toilet before bed, and do the same in the morning, packing your… diaper to take home with you.’’ She had hesitated about bluntly calling it a diaper, but seeing Kanna had referred to it as such...

When the dragon-girl didn’t reply, Kobayashi left her seat and went to her side. She rested her hand gently on Kanna’s head. ‘’Now Kanna, it’s really no big deal, and if you want to go to the sleepover, you should.’’ She scratched her lavender-colored hair. Kanna finally looked from the table to her guardian, and nodded.

‘’OK,’’ she replied.

Kanna was planted on a cushion in Saikawa Riko’s bedroom later that evening, controller in hand. ‘’Let’s play that one now,’’ she instructed, pointing to a video-game case.

The young dragon had been keeping so busy with her friend that she had forgotten about the problem she would soon be facing at bedtime. Saikawa loaded the game, picked up another controller, and joined in.

About an hour later, Kanna yawned and leaned over onto her friend, triggering one of Saikawa’s usual attacks of joy. After recovering a moment later, she too admitted to being tired.

Kanna rose. Taking her backpack that was sitting on the floor by the door, she headed down the hall to brush her teeth and change.

Riko watched as her friend left the room, then hurried over to her dresser. From one drawer she pulled a set of pink-and-white striped pajamas, then opened another drawer with a bit of a frown.

Laying inside, next to her panties, were multiple pairs of Happy Nights Pants. Some were decorated with a sleeping kitsune print, others with sakura.

Riko took a pair of the fox-design undergarments and closed the drawer. Tossing them onto her bed indignantly, she began to undress, then retrieved the diaper and pulled it on. After slipping her arms into her pajama top, she started to button it, until plop! a loose button hit the floor and rolled under the bed.

Saikawa crouched down and fished for the button, her arm almost unable to reach it. When she finally grasped the small pink object, she gave a happy little squeak, got up, and turned around - just in time to see Kanna standing in the doorway.

Riko’s face burned as she grabbed her pajama bottoms from the bed and attempted to cover herself with them, but the damage was done. She started to mumble something, but tears were overcoming her words.

Kanna simply stood silently for a moment, observing the scene. Saikawa managed ‘’I can’t help it, so…’’ before hiding her face in her arm.

‘’Saikawa.’’

The girl looked up.

Kanna lifted her nightgown, revealing the same kitsune-print pull-up.

‘’You… you too?’’ inquired Riko, wiping her eyes on her pajama top. ‘’Bu… but you’re too cute to w… wet the bed…’’

Kanna made her way across the room and wrapped her friend in an embrace. ‘’It’s no big deal,’’ she said, as Saikawa dropped the pajama pants she held against herself and went into another one of her overjoyed fits at Kanna’s touch.

‘’Actually…’’ Riko managed a moment later,’’ I think you can make wearing diapers cute, Kanna…’’

‘’You too, Saikawa,’’ the dragon-girl replied as she released her friend, and the human nearly keeled over from happiness once more.

Kanna climbed into bed first that night, and looked slightly confused as Riko followed, leaving her pajama pants on the floor.

‘’I don’t think I really need them,’’ she explained.

Kanna, quickly processing the thought, took up her nightgown and tied it in the front, her Happy Nights Pants with the sleeping foxes now also on display. ‘’Matching,’’ she said simply. Riko smiled as she lay down and pulled the covers over them… and had one more attack of euphoria as Kanna snuggled in close.

Happy Nights Pants had finally brought the two a happy night.
