"Well… at least now I have some time off." said a young man of about 20 from a sidewalk.
"Yeah. You do deserve it after this rough year." a woman said as she made sure her bags were in a car.
"Rough as in a packet of college work, and laying around like a lazy ass?" he responded.
"Ha, little smart ass. You're definitely my son. Well, good bye, Koji. And make sure to take care of the place."
"Alright, ma."
The woman then walked to the car door as she said, "Make sure not to make the transfer student feel uncomfortable. Treat them well until your sister gets here to help out.".
"Got it. No need to remind me yet again. Love you."
"Love you too, Koji." she said as she got into her ride, and rode off.
With his mother gone, Koji walked away from the sidewalk and into the house he was staying. After the entryway, he found himself inside the kitchen. There, he started putting away some groceries he had gotten recently, and wrote on a list on the fridge. He looked around the house a little before going outside, grabbing stuff out of a package that came from America. A boom box, a collection of older songs from the US and UK, along with a basketball. Koji was happy with these little gifts he was given, and didn't waste time before playing with them.
Going out the back, he set up the hoop, his boom box, and proceeded to play around with his ball. "Make me do right. Or make me do wrong. I'm your puppet." Koji sung to himself as he heard it from the speakers. As he was shooting hoops, the last shot was caught off guard by the sound of the door bell. With this, the young man missed, resulting in the ball bouncing off the board of the hoop, and hitting him in the face. "Ouch." he muttered to himself. Koji took a towel he left on the handle of the back door, and used it to wipe his face. He looked into his reflection, and stared at the mark on his cheek that he gave himself.
"This will make a good first impression." Koji told himself as he went to the front door.
The young man opened up the door, and was met with the site of two individuals. A woman with black hair and shades in an office dress, looking about in her early 30s. Next to her was a young woman about Koji's age with red hair, a short dress under a small opened jacket, and had a suitcase next to her. The thing that stood out the most about the girl was not the hair, but rather the fact that she also had pointy ears, and below the skirt of her dress was a snake's body.
"Hello there... Ooooo... I'm Sumike, the Cultural Exchange Coordinator. You're taller than I expected." the woman in an office dress said.
"Taller? I mean.. Hi there miss. Is there something I can help you with?" Koji asked awkwardly.
"Why, this is Miia. The girl that set to transfer here."
"Oh. Well… was there a switch-up or something?"
The girl with red hair turned around uncomfortably, grabbing a hold of her left arm with her right hand.
"No. I didn't mean it like that." Koji said as he frantically waved his hands in front of his chest. "It's just that… I was told that the transfer would be for a guy… from America."
"What?" Sumike said as she looked through some papers she had in her hands. "That can't be right."
"If this isn't the right house, then what does that mean for me?" Miia asked Sumike.
"Well, since it looks like someone made a mistake in the paper work, it would seem that you will have to stay at the shelter for the night."
"The 'shelter'?" Miia asked.
"Woah, woah. Because someone messed up on their paper work, she has to stay the night in a shelter?" Koji asked abruptly.
"Laws are laws. Since this isn't the place she was transferred to, she'll need to stay at the shelter for women until we get this squared away." Sumike responded.
"Well screw that! Just have her stay here then for now!" Koji told her with some concern in his voice.
Miia turned back around after noticing the sudden change in tone.
"Are you sure? You were rather hesitant just a moment ago." Sumike asked him.
"Yes. I'm sure. I'm not going to let her deal with some crap that someone else screwed up on."Koji answered.
This answer made Miia smile and blush as she stared at the young man.
Sumike looked at Miia, then back at Koji and said, "Well then, that will settle things here. And you helped take a load off my chest. But you will have to sign these.".
The woman handed Koji a pile of papers and pen. She also smiled at him, causing him to have a confused look on his face before he began signing the papers. After doing so, the snake-like girl gave him a big hug.
"Thanks for helping me out here." Miia said.
"Sure. No problem." Koji replied in a muffled voice as his face was buried in her chest.
"Oh, sorry." Miia said as she let go of him.
"I gotta say that this is the first time I've felt short in years." Koji said.
"Well thank you Koji. You two have yourselves a good day. But make sure no funny business happens while I'm gone." Sumike said as she left the young adults and got into her car.
The two went inside, with Miia already letting her curiosity get the better of her. She saw the TV in the living room, the inside of the fridge in the kitchen, and went upstairs before Koji could even take his slippers off.
"Jeez, you're lightning fast." Koji said.
"Sorry. I guess I get a little carried away sometimes." Miia said from the railing of the upstairs floor.
"Quit being sorry about everything. It's not like I'm going to hit you or something."
"Well you wouldn't want to do that either, because it is against the rules of the Cultural Exchange Species Bill."
"Ah. I guess I'll needing to read that soon. But hold on for a second. Let me show around before you explore everything."
"Ok."
Koji showed Miia to the bedroom he would have her sleep in. Queen sized bed, nightstands on both sides, a lamp, and a dresser. Miia checked around the room, then sat down on the bed with her suit case leaning against it.
"This is nice. I can't believe I finally get to stay in Japan. It's going to be nice to see everything. Plus, I have a guy kind enough to keep me from spending a night in some shelter." Miia told Koji.
"Yeah, I guess I can't stand letting a cute foreign girl get screwed over by a team of dumbasses." Koji responded.
"Oh, so you think I'm cute?" She asked him with a smile.
"Woops. Sometimes I say random stuff… Anyway, let's have you see the rest of the hou…" Koji said as Miia coiled her tail around him.
She brought him close to her so she could kiss Koji on the cheek. Miia then asked him, "So what was your name again?".
Koji responded with, "Oh jeez, now you ask. My name is Koji. It has been a pleasure, but…".
"What do you mean 'pleasure'? We only just met." Miia said.
"Oh, so you got some jokes too, then? I think we'll get along just fine." Koji told her.
"How well are you trying to get along?" She questioned sarcastically.
"Maybe at least enough for you to let me go before you turn me into a shade of red that's brighter than your hair."
"Okay, okay. No need to be a killjoy." Miia told Koji as she let him go.
They continued the tour around the house, with Koji trying to keep his cool while Miia makes it only so much harder for him to not have a hard on. As they enjoyed their time, events of great interest were taking place elsewhere.
On a medieval ship in the middle of the Pacific, there was a crew of many different individuals. Humans, elves, orcs, along with those of more beastly features, like feathers, scales and fur. One scaly brute of an individual walked across the ship, watching the crew as they did their job. He then walked up the stairs to the main deck. The brute continued past a goblin on a stool holding the wheel to talk with another "scale-skinned" person in a black and purple cloak.
"Do you think we will find them soon, brother?" the brute asked the cloak person.
"Very soon. She can't run forever, Mieexth." the cloaked one answered.
"I trust in your judgment, brother. Your commands have kept the two of us alive thus far."
A female orc came up to the cloaked individual as well, with a look of worry.
"Master Xemzues, I was hoping I could ask you something." she said.
"Well speak then, Orbul." the cloaked scale-skin told her.
"I have not traveled so far from the lands of the fog and desert kingdoms. I wanted to know what we should expect from this new territory." the orc asked.
"Oh, I tell you this. Tribe-kin tell me story of goblins that bed with female people. And by force." said the goblin holding the wheel.
"What?" Orbul asked with confusion. "Is that what we should expect?"
"Expect this land to be as dangerous as the jungle lands, if not more dangerous. Be ready for anything." Xemzues said.
"I know I will be more than ready for whatever we come across." said a scale-skinned female with the bottom half of her body being that of a snake's.
She slithered right up onto the main deck towards the others gathered there.
"Always full of bravado, are we, Gishvee?" Xemzues asked her.
"Just encouraging the rest of the crew that nothing will stop us." she told him.
"Damn right! Nothing will stop our combined forces. The gods will one day tremble before us!" Mieexth said.
"The gods can wait. For now, the witch will know the terror we bring to those who betray the Dark Water Savages." Xemzues told them all.
All of the others nodded in agreement, knowing that they were all in for a rough battle. Though it seemed grim, the situation did not discourage their determination to better their reputation. It would be only a matter of time before they would cross paths…
AN:
Hello anime people of this fanfic site, I hope you like this little story I started. First one that I've done, and I also made it an syoc story so that anyone can send in a character for it. All required information for characters is in my bio, so check it out if you are interested. I chose to mess around and change a few things from Monster Musume. I felt like the main character was nothing more than the typical perverted nice guy with a harem, so I changed him up a bit to give more personality. Plus, there's medieval monster people that will look more like western creatures being introduced into the story. I always wanted know how a European hulking green orc would react to seeing a Japanese fat boar orc. Please leave a review and let me know what you think of the story. (Oh, and much praise to whoever says the title and artist of the song Koji sung to himself.) Enjoy your day, everyone.
