Being attune with the animals allows for many benefits that an average human do not have. Such examples were quicker reflexes, heighten sense of smell, better vision, and stronger than one looks. Having animal attributes does have its benefits; today was not one of days. Instead it may actually be a horrible day. The reason being was that like other animals, there are times in which the sexual drive is running full throttle. When the air is full of pheromones and one is looking for a mate, in other words he is in heat. Yes, the great Shido is a slave to his libido. The worse part about this was that it was worse then ever before, but at the same time Shido was in enough control of himself to refrain from jumping anything with two legs. Maybe it is the age. He is older now so it means that he has better control over himself but it was also due to that same age that tells him he needs to find a mate now! A strong mate.
He hopes he does not do anything stupid since he has a mission to complete. The mission requires him to work with Kazuki, Ginji, and Ban to help retrieve a locket. A locket, which apparently is worth a lot of money since it is incrusted with rare jewels. Hevn came by to give him the details and for the life of him he could not help himself from sniffing her. Something, which Hevn found slightly strange. Luckily for Shido he did not find the pheromones she was giving off pleasing. The same thing with Makoto, which Shido was deeply grateful of. He did not want himself to hurt the sweet girl who took him in. Her smell was pleasing but it was similar to what he might smell form a sister or something. Now he hopes that the guys he will soon be working with would not trigger anything off in him.
He should not be worried about Kazuki because hopefully he would smell like Juubei, which would mean off limits. The same with Ginji, he would probably smell something akin to what he smelled from Madoka, family. Ban on the other hand worries him a bit. It is quiet known that both of them are not fond of each other and now with Shido being in heat, he severely hopes that Ban's smell would not agitate him into killing.
The group met up an hour later to discuss what they were going to do to infiltrate the house which is holding the locket. Kazuki was the first to show up and Shido was relieved that indeed he smells like Juubei. Ginji and Ban arrived a couple of minutes after that. Ginji also smell like he predicted, but there was a faint smell of something else on him. Ban on the other was a different story.
"Yo monkey tamer would you mind giving me some space here?" Ban requested while trying to move away from Shido.
"There is something different about Ban's smell" Shido thought. Something that he could not quiet place his finger on.
"What the hell is your problem?" Ban was getting more agitated for the fact that Shido, instead of removing himself from Ban's personal space, actually moved in closer.
"Yo Itomaki, do you know what is wrong with monkey boy here?"
"No"
"Hmmm I seen him act like this before Ban-chan" Ginji piped up, "but I don't remember why"
Ban face faulted. It was just like Ginji not to remember. All of a sudden he felt a warm breath upon his neck.
"What the fuck do you think you doing to my neck!"
Shido didn't even answer the question for he was too entranced by Ban's smell. How come he never noticed how nice it actually smells. It was like a mix of cigarette smoke, sweat, and something that was purely Ban. Shido didn't even see the fist that came towards his face.
"Why you hit me for snake boy?" Shido cried while rubbing his cheek.
"Well maybe it was your face in my neck, monkey tamer"
"Guys stop we have to get started on this mission." "Hevn-san said the head of the house is actually holding a party in which he had invited certain guests, four of them being us." "During this time we should get ourself acquainted with the house's layout and security before we take any action. Our rooms are right next to each other. Shido and Ginji will have to be in one room and Ban and me will be in another. We shall arrive at separate times so as not to attract any suspicions." "We should meet at the lobby at 8 to discuss any further action" Kazuki finished explaining to them but by the looks of things none of the guys heard it. Ban and Shido were just glaring at each other, with Ginji in the middle trying to pacify the situation. "God," Kazuki thought, "This is going to be one long mission."
"Come one Ban, you're coming with me there more that you should know," Kazuki dragged Ban away, while handing a slip of paper off to Shido. "Those are the instruction just in case you guys missed anything. We'll see you at 8" and with that Kazuki left with Ban in tow.
Shido could not help himself from sniffing the air where Ban was just standing. It was then that everything clicked. "Kami-sama, please do not tell me I'm attracted to Ban" Shido whispered, and somewhere in the distance you could hear Ban's voice saying "What the fuck."
