Chapter 1-Prologue.
This story is about a demi-human who goes through a form of torture(at least to him) to receive the affection of the one he loves, though how he earns it is far past bizarre.
The story takes place in the village of Kougi, far from larger, more prosperous villages, following a young man named Katsutoshi, or "Katsu" for short.
Now the story begins.
7:00 A.M......Time to get up.
"Aahh..." I yawned and stretched before getting out of my bed. I stood up, scratched my ears, got dressed, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Today was the first day of my second year at high school. My reputation last year was far from my liking, basically an outcast, so I need to be ready to change it. I finished breakfast as my roommate, Naoto got up.
I should explain a little more of the setting before going on. I am Katsutoshi(as previously stated), a demi-human, of the Usagi(rabbit), or more cutely referred to as "bunny", species. Right now I live in an apartment with my old friend Naoto, who is an Ookami(wolf). No one knows what happened to the "whole" humans, only that they were here before us and that we're here now. And we've lived like this ever since.
Though we demi-humans are half animal, we still mostly resemble a human with small details. Most demis have ears, a tail, or fangs befitting their species.
Continuing on; I lit a fire and cooked some eggs. Naoto takes his portion, eats quietly, then leaves for school without a word.
" Someone is in an irritable mood." I stated to myself.
I quickly ate my breakfast, then left for school as well.
I walked down the dirt road until finally reaching the school. I went around looking for my first period class and then sat down in a seat, there weren't any assigned seats to the best of my knowledge. I waited for about 10 minutes before the bell rang and the students started flooding into the classroom. I made sure to note the faces of the students entering my classroom, for two reasons. 1, so as to make it easier to remember names, which would be helpful when choosing friends. And 2, to see if there are any attractive girls in my class. Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I'm a genius, but I also a pervert. Perfect combination, right?
I made mental notes of possible targets for girlfriends, quite a selection of girls. I go through the classes, never excelling, though never failing, because my mind drifts away thinking about...well...you know. I go through the classes like normal, nothing special. Once school is over I make my way to my locker. On the way, a Neko with long black hair started running down the hall. I couldn't see her face behind her hair, unfortunately. She ran past me, though close enough to bump into me.
"Nyah! Sorry!" she said as she ran off, not noticing that she dropped a book.
I picked the book up and opened the cover, hoping to find a name.
"Airi-chan, huh?" I said to myself. Guess its my duty to return this to her. Eh, I'll deliver it to her at her home.
I went to the school office and asked for her adress. Once I had it, I left school and made way for her house. 'Maybe she'll reward me for my valiant effort' I fantasized as I walked to her house. I finally arrived at her house. The door was locked so I knocked. No answer. I looked around for another entrance. Open window on the second floor. Good enough. I climbed up and into the room. To my surprise, I found Airi-chan, sleeping on a bed. "Sleeping?! Its only 5 P.M.!" I yelled, than immediately put my hands over my mouth. She didn't wake up.
"She must be one heavy sleeper."
I placed the book on her desk and thought of what I could do next in this situation.
