Chapter 1 'Teleportation vs. Karma'

Yuuki Rito was going home.

A red haired young man, he was dressed in his high school uniform and walked with slumped shoulders and a defeated expression. "Why do these things keep happening to me?", he grumbled to himself for the eighth time, "Every time I gather the courage to confess my feelings to Haruna, I always get hit by something!" Having failed to declare his love for his classmate once again, due to being struck in the face by a flying man-hole cover, Rito had decided to go home and licks his wounds.

Rito was greeted by his sister as he walked inside, "Hey Rito, dinner's ready". "Thanks, Mikan", he replies with a sigh. Yuuki Mikan was responsible for running the household when their mother was away on one of her many business trips. Noting Rito's sour mood, she makes no further attempt at conversation and dinner is eaten in silence.

Meanwhile, in the silence of Space, a strikingly organic looking spaceship is being hunted by several other similar vessels.

Momo Velia Deviluke, third princess of the Deviluke Empire, was fleeing a fate most horrible, her seemingly endless succession of royal tutors and instructors. "Luckily, this Princess has a mad-scientist for an older sister", she smirked as she examined a curious object in her hands, "A device that transports you to a random location, the Prototype Pyron Pyron Mr. Warp," she spoke aloud, a frown marring her cute face, "but I was really hoping I wouldn't have to use this."

As her spaceship came to a halt, having been locked down by the tractor beams of her own Royal guards, Momo whispered "I sure hope this will work", pressed a small blue button on Mr. Warp, and vanished in a flash of light.

Rito was soaking in the tub, the hot water easing the tension from his muscles. He found himself relaxing for the first time since his ill-fated love confession.

He reflected on all his back luck, "My unlucky streak can't last forever. I just know that my life will change soon, and then Haruna and me will...". Any further musing was cut short as the water in his tub began to glow green. Hearing a loud bang, Rito instinctively raised a hand over his eyes.

In a flash, a pink haired girl appeared before Rito. "W-Who? What? What are you doing!", shouted the girl in alarm. Rito asked a few questions as well. "Who is this girl? Why is she in my bathroom? Oh, and WHY IS SHE NAKED?" Rito's face turned blood red at the sight of the innocent beauty. "what are you looking at?" she shouted as a blush rushed across her face as well. He leap out of the tub, grabbing for a towel, and fled the bathroom as fast as he could.

Mikan spotted him rushing down the hall. "Eh? Rito, what's wrong?" Rito, so red and nervous he looked ready to explode, shouted "G-Girl! N-Naked! B-B-Bathroom!" Mikan responded with a bewildered, "Eh?", and after a quick peek into the bathroom just laughed. "No girls here. Big brother, I think you just have girls on the brain." "But she was really there! I mean it!" The smirk on her face remained. Rito, looking into the bathroom and finding it empty, shook his head in bewilderment. "I just don't get it. I guess I owe you an apology Mikan." "Just learn the difference between fantasy and reality." With a final look of confusion, Rito left the Hall for his bedroom.

As he opens the door, Rito is stunned to find the girl from the bathroom sitting on his bed, draped in one of his towels. "Who are you? W-Why were you in my bathtub?" Rito stammered, trying to ignore the fact that a half-naked girl was actually in his bedroom. "I'm Momo Velia Deviluke from the planet Deviluke", she replies with an energetic smile. "And you are?" "Oh, um, I'm Yuuki Rito." Momo stood and slowing began walking towards the blushing boy, who was taking nervous steps backwards. "No boy has ever seen me naked before." Rito began to sputter at this but she just giggled, "Don't worry, I've never seen a naked boy before either, so I think we're even."

So focused on the girl inches away from him, Rito can't help but jump when his sister speaks loudly from the other side of his bedroom door. "Rito, who are you talking to?" Opening the door, Mikan's gaze takes in her Brother and the towel draped girl next to him. With a shocked expression and a monotone voice, she apologised, "Sorry to bother you two," and slams the bedroom door shut. "Mikan, It's not what you think!", Rito shouts as he races for the door. "Wait, Rito, who was that? Your girlfriend?" "What? No, she's my sister! Wait, Mikan!" shouts Rito as he runs after her.

A few minutes later the Yuuki siblings and their unexpected guest are all in the living room. "First, thanks for letting me borrow your clothes Mikan." "You're welcome Momo. So, let me get this straight, you're an alien from outer space? But you look completely human to me." "Well from my view, it's you humans who look like Deviluke-kin. Besides, I do have something you don't." Lifting her skirt, and giving Rito an not-so-innocent wink, Momo turned and pushed her rear out showing off a soft black tail that ended in a spade shape. Rito stammered, "Is th-that a tail?" "It sure is. But back to what we were talking about before, is it really o.k. for me to stay here?" Rito and Mikan shared a quick look and both nodded. Mikan spoke very sympathetically, "I don't know what happened at your home to make you want to run away, but you are welcome to stay as long as you want."

Momo, eyes glimmering, smiled genuinely. "Thank you, you guys are just soo nice and.." And whatever she was going to say was cut off as the living room window blew-in and two large men tumbled into the room. "You're coming with us, Princess!" Momo swore her under breathe, "Like hell, I am."

The men who had broken into the living room both grabbed at Momo, while Rito and Mikan just watched in stunned surprise. "Come on, let's go!", the shorter of the two snarled. Momo struggled in their grip, "No! Let go of me!"

As the men in black pulled their prisoner towards their point of entry, Rito's eyes fell on a soccer ball and his heart began hammering in his chest. Time seemed to slow down as he sprang into action. With a swift kick, he sent the soccer ball rocketing at the men in black suits and with a startled cry, they released their hold on the girl.

Momo flashed a grateful smile as she found herself being pulled by Rito towards the front door. "Follow me!", he shouted. Rito dashed down the road, his hand still firmly gripping Momo's. "Rito, why are you going so far to help me?" "Are you kidding me? I can't just ignore a girl being kidnapped right in front of me! Quick, turn here!"

As Rito ran past a girl walking her dog, he pulled Momo into a small local park. Puffing and out of breath, Rito hazarded a glance behind him and was stunned to see their pursuers right behind them. The taller of the two men grabbed a truck and, in a feat of impossible strength, lifted the truck and slung it over Rito and Momo's heads to land with a crash on the other side of the park, effectively trapping them.

As the two men continued to approach, the man in front, who's black sunglasses had been knocked askew and revealed a large scar running down his nose, leveled a menacing glare at Rito and spoke with an equally menacing tone, "Do not interfere, Earthling. Lady Momo, please stop this and come back home."

Momo returned his baneful stare with one of her own. "I'm not returning home!" Rito nodded his head vigorously. "Yeah! She doesn't want to go back home!" Reaching behind her, Momo pulled out a seed and tossed it at the ground near her former guards feet. "My Dazuul plant will stop you!" she shouted.

The men in black suits came to an abrupt stop and the man without the scar yelled, "On, no! It's one of Lady Momo's exotic plants!" The seed began to grow at an impossible rate, vines shooting out and entangling everything around it. Rito could only stare in wonder, and more then a little fear.

Momo noticed his expression and gave his hand a squeeze. Rito looked into her face and Momo giggled, "Yuuki Rito, my Hero." He could only blush and scratch his head at the impossibility of everything that had happened. "Let's go home, Rito." "Oh, ah, O.k."
