Hello everyone, I hope you'll enjoy this story even though it is short right now I plan to add more to it later on. I'd really appreciate if you guys could give me any feedback that you could give me, I know I'm not the best when it comes to writing perfectly but if I don't put myself out there then what is there to learn?

How you'll be identifying speech in this story goes by this:

Texting Thoughts Regular

And lastly I do not own Monster Musume or any of its characters, I only own those characters I've made.

The Californian night air was cool and refreshing as many men and woman walked to either their homes or to the nearest bar to knock back the next cold one. One person was part of the former, his black hair sweeping over his silver eyes, always glancing about to take in the environment as he walked towards his apartment. Using a thumb to stroke a ring on his right hands pointer finger, he stared at his surroundings, completely lost in thought.

"Today was another bust…" The young man mumbled to himself, pinching the bridge of his nose as he stared out from his eyes with the black circles under them.. "Probably need to change location again soon."

The air became a tad colder, wind whipping as the young man walked up the steps to his apartment, his head almost always tilted to gape at the ground. Holding his brown aviator jacket closer to his body the young man then proceeded to reach into his blue jean pockets for his keys.

As he pulled the out the objects of desire and readied them, the young man felt his phone buzz in the left pocket of his jeans.

Who could be calling at this hour? Wondering to himself for a brief moment before taking out his phone, which luckily only had a text message.

"I suggest you be careful coming in Kri, there's some weirdos in suits asking for you."

"Really? What are they doing?" It was a careful response, as it probably needed to be.

"Yeah… they're currently splurging on our coffee. Krituso, please tell me you didn't piss off some governmental bigwig… again."

"No I don't remember doing something that huge, are they at least paying for the coffee?"

"That's a negative Kirk."

Krituso couldn't help but sigh as he brought his keys up and inserted them into the lock. Today's one of those days huh…

Upon opening the door Krituso was met with the sight of multiple guns pointed at him, as well as his friend and apartment mate, Lupis sitting down on the couch. Against his better nature, Krituso's lips curled into a grin.

LUPIS

"What exactly do you want?" I tried to keep calm as I sat there. "When I last checked, it requires a warrant to be able to lawfully enter a house like this."

My talking was only met with silence as the men in uniforms stood, watching the doorway. I glanced back over to the kitchen to see that woman still drinking the coffee I had brewed.

Damnit Kri where are you? I bit my lip nervously. You're usually here at seven on the dot!

Cautiously I picked up my phone off of the table and started texting Krituso as quickly as I could. I can't convey how relieving it was when he responded. With an even greater speed I relayed all that I knew, glancing at the men still waiting by the door.

"What are you doing?" I fought the urge to flinch as the woman looked at me.

"Ordering some pizza, something wrong with that?" I quickly closed out the message app and switched over to the internet browser. Luckily it was already on Domino's because I had been thinking about wheeling down to get a surprise meal for me and my friend before these people had rudely blown open the door.

"Yes actually… please surrender your cellular device." The lady sipped on the coffee I had prepared for her earlier.

Not wanting to piss off the people with guns I set the phone down on the table and inched painfully back.

At that point I heard the sound of a key turning in the lock. I looked over at the door in time to see my friend Krituso walk in. The response was immediate, multiple guns came out of their hiding places and pointed right at him. Krituso looked around the room, glancing at me for a second before his lips curled into a grin.

"Honey I'm home." He casually walked by the firearms and positioned himself in the middle of the room, grey eyes shining with a childish glee. "A surprise party? How kind of you."

"Kri… please don't." I wished it was possible to melt into the futon at that moment. "Especially since they have guns!"

Krituso opted to ignore me entirely, instead he looked over into the kitchen. "Well?" He un-amusedly raised an eyebrow. "Why exactly are you here?"

NO_POV

"I assume you are Krituso?" The woman asked indifferently, still sipping her coffee.

Krituso shrugged in response, eyes looking down and away from the face of the woman. "What's it to you?"

"I am Kuruko Smith and I have been sent by the Japanese government to find you."

"Find me... why?"

"We would like your assistance." Smith put down her coffee and stood up. "Japan is planning on revealing the existence of extraspecies to its population, and the rest of the world."

Krituso's eyes snapped forward and narrowed at the woman in front of him. "That poses extreme danger for species that rely on being unknown to humans."

"We understand the dangers and have plans to mitigate and prevent such risks. We have spoken extensively with the race of Angels to find the best peaceful solution possible."

Krituso scoffed at that. "Angels are a selfish people, they care not for any impure being." Even as Krituso was saying this, Lupis could see him stroking the ring on his right pointer finger, hands trembling. "You expect something peaceful from those warmongers?"

Smith watched him with a curious expression. "So it is true what they've said about you."

"Oh?" Giving a sardonic chuckle, Krituso leisurely sat down on the couch next to Lupis and observed Smith. "And what have they on me?"

"They've gone as far as to say that we should kill your kind on sight."

"Only that?" A small sneer played on the young man's face, a small tremble quivering throughout it. "They're either getting kinder in their years or just happen to forget the parts on damning them to the void."

"While I'm unsure of how they have worked in the past they've been rather useful in helping us find the other extraspecies."

"What kinds have you already met?" Lupis' curiosity was starting to get the better of him, pulling out a laptop from his wheelchair beside the couch the young man began typing quickly, a wide grin showing the brightened mood. "It's like something out of a story when I hear about them from Kri."

"Lamia, Harpy, Centaur, Cheshire cats, Kitsune, Fox, Thunderbird, and many more including angels of course." Smith couldn't help but smile a tad from the enthusiasm Lupis was showing. "They all are quite different."

"For good reason!" Krituso glanced up to the ceiling as if to say 'Why me?' "Enough of that for now, just tell us why you need me."

"We need you to be a neutral party. You have a foot in both worlds making your presence invaluable."

Lupis could see as the unease began to creep into Krituso as Kri started to rub the ring faster and faster. He sat there, completely silent as he stared forward. Eventually he looked back towards Smith.

"What would I get out of this?" He asked simply

Smith wasn't sure how to even begin. This was supposed to be a simple, easy talk to hire the target. This was proving to be a hard task only because of the stubbornness of Krituso. For the rest of the night, no matter how hard she tried to broker a deal with the extraspecies man, he just kept finding ways to criticize or deconstruct it without even trying to sound logical.

"Why can't you just be happy with any deal?!" Smith was close to yelling, her emotions reaching the boiling point. "We've offered some of the best possible accommodations close to the talk's location, while the payment you'll be getting is three times that of your annual salary!"

"Because you Matrix reject!" Krituso abruptly stood up, the desperation clear in his eyes as he started ranting, all of it focused toward Kuruko Smith as he glared her down. "I will not go anywhere near those self righteous freaks! If you truly know what I am then you know what they do to my kind!"

The response was immediate, all of the accumulated firearms in the room were brought out and aimed directly at Krituso. Lupis knew things were going extremely wrong, Krituso only started having his accent show when he was either royally ticked, or when he was undergoing extreme stress.

"Mr Krituso… please sit down and collect yourself. I understand how you feel about this, in all honesty this was to be expected." With a gentle hand from Lupis and Smith, Krituso slowly seated himself back onto the couch. "It is understandable that you would have a strong aversion to the angels, we personally guarantee your safety as long as you remain in Japan."

"You can't promise on the behalf of a species that you know nothing about!" Krituso spoke from between his teeth whilst his thumb kept rubbing against the ring. "You may think you have them figured, but it's only the front they want you to see!"

"Alright. That was a good talk, whew I am beat!" Lupis clapped his hands together, officially ending the conversation with his interuption. "We'll be thinking about the offer Ms. Smith and hopefully you'll get an answer in the morning."

"Yes…" Smith sighed "I guess it is for the best. Have a good night boys."

With that the governmental agents left the apartment building, Krituso let out the breath he hadn't known he had been holding.

"I'll order some pizza." Shifting off of the couch Lupis set himself down on his wheelchair with a grimace. "What kind do you want?"

There was no reply from his friend though, Krituso was deep in thought as he stared at his ring.

"Hey, Kri."

"... Yeah Lupis?"

"What kind of pizza should I order?"

"Whatever you feel like getting I guess." With that Krituso stood up and walked down the hall into the bedroom. "I- I kinda wanna go and rest my eyes a bit."

"Sure, I'll wake you up when it arrives." Lupis chewed on his lip as he listened to the dial tone resound through his ear.

Just another everyday mystery with the fallen.

That's it for the first chapter, I hope you guys like it so far. (EDITED 12/23/17 : Added in a forgotten separation, a beginning explanation, and ending (12/25/17: Fixed some annoying repeats in words I hadn't noticed, added in a little more to help it make more sense hopefully. Merry Christmas though!)

(4/23/18: Sorry for the long wait, I'm taking this kinda slow and I wanted to make sure I could make this a competent story. It's actually great because I wasn't expecting anybody to really enjoy it so I guess I better hurry up and get the next chapter out XD. Fixes for this chapter are some updated traits for Krituso, hopefully this'll give you the image I wanted for people to see of him.)
