Unlikely Heroes

Author's notes: Well here it is like I promised even though it's a bit later than I would have liked. The story featuring Liru. Of course the rest of the cast will appear along with OC's. Like I sated before the anime never really left on a definitive note. And I'm sure I can make it seem like this one is where it continues. Like before I will work on this until it's completed. But I don't see this one divided up into multiple parts. The other stories I talked about from The Grand Finale are still being worked on. However, in addition to this on my Devianart Channel there is another about a group of spies so you can check that out if you want. And also after May the 4th another will be appearing on that same channel. Eventually it will move onto this site. So for now just sit back and enjoy this. This story begins a few days after the last OVA of the anime. So if you want to get a bit more of a catch up, watch the series first.

Chapter 1: Festival

The morning came in bright and early in the city of Hikarigaoka and particularly on a treehouse. Or rather what was known as a Garakuta House that was a bit like a complex. That was because four girls and one chaperone lived in it. Or rather these weren't human at all. In fact, all five of these beings were actually from the Netherworld and monsters. But nothing to be scared of at all.

One of them stirred before walking up with a yawn. The sun coming through the blinds was what had caused her to wake up. Except for a green and white striped, long sleeved shirt, this female didn't wear anything to cover her legs. Her skin was tanned and her eyes, the brightest blue. In addition, she had long blonde hair along with three whisker marks on her cheeks. As well as two pointed wolf ears on top of her head, the same color as the hair. And there was also a yellow colored tail right where a humanoid animal with one would have it if such a thing existed. This was Liru, a female werewolf. Which explained why she had the pointed ears, tail, and marks. Yet for some reason she also had regular ears as well.

At least tonight would only be a new moon. Liru, being the kind of creature she was, always knew when the full one would be out to see. Yet somehow was somewhat resilient to the real effects it caused. But any full moon-shaped objects always made her transform into that of a cute yellow puppy. She also had a weakness to silver.

Since coming here Liru and the rest had at least settled in this tree house. But all of them still had a lot to learn about the human world. And that was usually what had been happening; mishaps since all four had arrived. Trying to learn, blend into society, and as well as staying one step ahead of a certain someone. But the biggest had to be finding a boyfriend. That last part certainly hadn't worked out at all. Liru had stated once before her ideal one would be broad and burly rather than cultured. As well as being a werewolf to. But had the willpower to not needlessly transform when he saw something riled him up. As well as being cool, nice, with a smile like a kid's and had the ability to fix her lots of meat.

In any case today was a day that was bright and meant to be out. Even if it was a bit on the chilly side. Just as about Liru was about to get out of the room her door burst open to reveal the other three being led by Uma. This one happened to be the witch. But not a very good one and more like a third rate alchemist. "You up yet?" asked the shorter female, all excited. "We need to get going!"

"How could I forget?" asked the werewolf with a grin. There was a festival going on near their treehouse. The first one they had been to but knew a bit about them.

"I wonder if maybe there will be something to help with the cooking I do," stated Aiko. Not only was she an android but took care of that chore since she didn't need to eat.

"I just want to have fun and maybe snag a hot guy," said Pachira with a grin, showing a bit of white teeth. This last one was a vampire.

It wasn't long before all four girls were out. Normally Liru wore a brown leather harness that went across her breasts, brown fingerless glover with gold-spiked bracelets on them, blue denim shorts cut really low, and white thigh length boots. But this was too cool of weather for that and went for longer cloths but kept the gloves and bracelets on. There were many brightly colored booths showing off things to buy, eat, games to play, all the usual jazz. The girls didn't know where to start first. It was eventually decided to start at one end and work their way up.

A couple of hours latter Liru was walking a bit up the street with the other three when she caught the smell of meat cooking. As a werewolf she loved all kinds. But there was one that could be considered another weakness of hers that was the female's favorite. It was the smell of Matsuzaka Beef. "That smell…" Liru moaned. She was then off like a shot much to the surprise of her friends. The werewolf ducked and dogged through the crowd to reach the meat. It was a bit difficult since there were many. But then at one point Liru bumped into one that was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up and wearing sun glasses. It was a male because the Adam's apple could be seen a bit and could only belong to one and not a woman.

"Sorry!" she called back. "I'm sorry!" Liru kept going on ahead. Unaware this person turned his head a bit to see her running off. A small smile came onto his face. At last he had run into her. But the male didn't go after Liru but continued onto the stall he had been going to.

The rest of the werewolf's friend finally caught up to her to find Liru chowing down on the beef. And seeing that made the witch and vampire realize they were hungry as well. So more food was bought. When it had been consumed it was time for more fun. But near the end of the day, all four went back to their tree house. But as they were doing so Liru turned her head and saw the same male from before that she had bumped into standing in the distance. The male's face turned to hers and for just a brief second his eyes under the shade met the werewolf's. But before the female could move, the other person turned and walked away. There was something about this person that Liru couldn't shake off of her mind. Little did the female know just how much of impact he would make on her life.
