"Thank you." Kogarashi and Mega Man said as they bowed to the taxi driver, the latter wearing a garbage bag as neither of them had any money. The two turned around to see their destination, and a stuffed bear that jumped the gate. Bewildered, the two watched it run away as Lyra phased through the gate, gaping at what her partner was wearing before staring at the two of them irritably.
"Oh a walking stuffed bear, sure would suck if it was EVIL or something?!" That knocked the two out of their daze as they began to follow Lyra, the trash bag Mega Man was wearing ripped to shreds by his speed. "I can see something inside the bear Mega Man, feeding the data to you now!"
The results, along with a map of the area and a live feed from Lyra's point of view appeared on his visor. "It's a girl!" The blue barely armored boy said in shock as the three of them jumped the freeway railing, and into the maze of houses below. "A girl with..racoon ears?!"
Kogarashi's eyes widened as the three landed on the ground and continued uninterrupted. "It's probably a Tanuki or something!" He explained. "A girl with-wait a minute!" He stopped, grabbing Mega Man by the shoulder-pad. "You just took me to this city with the speed of a car! Why are you two running at my speed to catch this guy?!"
Mega Man opened his mouth before his face reddened. "Y-yeah, you're right." And with that, he zoomed away.
"Looks like Harp just did that little paralysis trick of hers." War-Rock informed his host. "We got her now!"
"Why do I feel like that's a reoccurring problem with those two?" He looked back up to the freeway. Maybe he should see if that girl was alright.

Thanks to Kogarashi reminding him of the basic moveset he always had, it didn't take long for Mega Man to catch up. "Why didnt't you say anything War-Rock?!"
"Because this chick's not much of a threat, kid." War-Rock answered. "Hm. That little doll and her stopped moving. Load up a Card."
"Right!" Mega Man activated his Deck and looked at his hand. 'Oh come on!' Only the base Sword and Gatling Gun 1 card were selectable! IceStage, IceMeteor3, and TripSong were all greyed out! "FINE! SWORD!" War-Rock glowed brightly and was replaced by a large green energy blade with a smooth blue hilt. "2 feet..1...here we are!"
When he turned the corner, he was confused by what he saw. The target and Lyra were unconscious, stuck against the wall, both looking as though they were going to kiss. "Huh." He didn't know how this happened, but he couldn't leave them like this. Disengaging the blade, but not the sword itself, Mega Man slowly walked up to them, keeping an eye on his HUD should their readings change, and gently lifted Lyra up. She was unconscious, but no damage to her was detected. "Lyra? Lyra?" "War-Rock decided to cut to the chase and bit her in the arm, waking her up good.
"OOOOOWWWWWW!" Lyra pushed herself off him and jumped away from the other girl "What the hell?!"
"You looked like you and the other brat were 69ing." War-Rock lied, enjoying the look of horror on Lyra's face.
"War-Rock, what's-"
"It's kissing, where's Harp?"
The FMian appeared next to Lyra and waved. "Right here mutt. Lyra-chan played her song at a stronger pitch than she should, knocking them both out."
"I-I-I a-a g-girl's-"
"-And since I'm bonded with her at the moment, that meant I was knocked out." She looked to her stuttering, face red as her hair partner. "What's with her? She looks like she got some of that nasty fanmail again."
"Ha!" War-Rock laughed as the little blonde raccoon girl woke up. "Try living it! Hey Lyra, what comes after 68?!"
Lyra turned her visor opaque and controlled herself, both her and Mega Man quickly restraining the little raccoon by her arms, Harp grabbing the bear at the end of the alleway and going into Lyra's Transer. "Just shut up War-Rock."
As they walked slowly back to the house so as not to hurt their little hostage, the girl woke up and saw that she was restrained. "What's going on here?! Let me go let me go!"
"Shut up brat!"War-Rock growled, the girl going limp with fear from seeing the hand-head dog thing's sharp, glowing green teeth. "By the Sages, I just know you're gonna be an annoying one!"
"W-where are you taking me?" She asked as she began to tear up as she looked up at the boy with the scary arm. "And why are you half-naked?!"
"...Stop talking." Lyra ordered, turning her visor transparent again. "And don't try anything. We're just taking you back to the busty chick you've been stalking."
Mega Man wrested War-Rock away from the poor girl. "I'm sorry for the rough treatment and my partner's behavior, but you've been harassing and stalking someone."
"I'm sorry..." The girl stared down at the ground. "I just wanted a reminder of home again."
[Hormonal levels spiking in target] Lyra's HUD alerted her. 'That can't be good.' But before she could warn Mega Man not to follow up on that, he opened his big, dumb, mouth.
"What did you mean about being reminded of home?"
And that was when all hell broke loose.

"I don't sense anymore spirits Miyazaki-san. You're all clear."
The busty orangehead stopped cowering from under her covers and sighed happily, still shaking profusely. "Thank you Kogarashi-san!" This kind, rough n' tumble, sweaty and half naked sumo wrestler came out of nowhere, and unlike that weird girl, he was polite, considerate, and he cleaned her room! He looked like he was a violent thug, but he was actually quite nice, much better than that creepy Sentai girl. She just came out of nowhere, sitting on her bed, and what's worse, Chisaki was pretty sure that -and don't ask her how- that she'd been there before she even came into the room!
"You're welcome." He looked to the window, sensing Mega Man and Lyra coming. "My partners are bringing the culprit in right now."
'He's like some paranormal investigator!' And now thanks to him and his half naked body muscles incredible experience in the paranormal world, she could sleep peacefully!
"Well, that's it for me then." He sniffed his armpits and winced. "Can I take a shower here?"
"Y-yes!" She said a bit too excitedly. "Yes, please! I'll wash your mawashi, strange sumo man!" Kogarashi thanked her as she guided him to the bathroom. "Here we are. All the shampoo and towels might be a bit too girly-" She heard him hoot and slam the door behind him, his sweaty Mawashi on the floor in a towel. "He's so considerate!"

"And that is why boobs are better than butts!" The raccoon girl, Koyuzu Shigaraki, finished with pride to the slack-jawed weirdos. They had let her go when she compared that hottie Chisaki's boobs to her mom's, and they were completely defenseless. "Any questions?" The blue one with the silly armed opened his mouth to speak- "Thank you for your time!" -and so she took that as her cue to leave, disappearing in a flurry of smoke.
WHAM!
Mega Man and Lyra stood over the little raccoon girl, their feet on her back and legs respectively and Koyuzu now sported a very large bump on her head. When she looked up, she saw Lyra pointing to her visor and giving her a smug grin. That turned to confusion when Koyuzu gave a smug grin of her own.
BOOOM!
Lyra was sent across the alleyway into a wall, while War-Rock put up a shield around Mega Man. "Hah, didn't even dent it!" The alien dog boasted. "She's on the roof!"
"Got it!" Mega Man jumped to the roof, Lyra warping to his location. "I can still detect her! You?"
"Yep! That blast didn't mess up my sensors! Let's get that little brat!"
Meanwhile, a flagpole watched the two leave. 'Suckers!' That was some pretty good tech they had, but she was a Tanuki! Figuring out how to outwit tracking equipment was necessity to go out into the human world! Once she was sure they were far enough away, she transformed back, laughing herself silly as she sat on the windowsill. 'Now to go find Chisaki-chan's house!' sweet, soft marshmallow heaven awaited her! She turned into a pigeon and flew off, the thought of sunkissed sweater melons on her mind.

Kogarashi groaned happily as the smell of lavender entered his nostrils. "A real bath..." So calm, so soothing, so clean! He forgot how good it felt to not get dysentery and the satisfaction of guaranteed clean drinking water! Subaru and Misora probably needed baths too after all the stuff they went through, plus- "That's right." His mood suddenly turned cold as the memories of what Harp told him came to the forefront.
'Cepheus-chan...' The little puffball that could barely float, now a intergalactic war criminal with millions of deaths to his name. One of his earliest interdimensional friends was one of said criminal's best warriors, and she didn't have an ounce of empathy for her actions or crimes. Her host did however, but it was just some minor annoyance, like a friend that said something stupid. 'Just what happened back in their world?' And speaking of their hosts, ff it wasn't for their utter lack of subtlety in their movements and actions, he would have attacked them on the spot. Those two...those two had blood on their hands, and given what his Master said about the time dilation between the Wave World and the Real World, they probably were killers for a long time. Who knows how old they really were? In the double digits? Triple? 'Well, this is a new world for them.' As long as that Mitra Promise was in effect, they were trapped here, so it was going to be up to him to get them comfortable, make them happy, and hopefully get them back to their world. Maybe he'd tag along too, give that bastard brat a good hit in the face!
But still one thing befuddled him...why did Harp-san have the same design scheme as War-Rock? Similarity in host design was frowned upon by FMians the last time he checked! And then there was that meteor they talked about. He could recall his Master talking about it, but all he could remember was one word, one word that sent her into an utter panic.
Noise.

Koyuzu perched on Chisaki oppai-chan's windowsill. She looked around and upon seeing no one around, she changed to her humanoid form and easily picked the lock, closing the door behind her and resetting the lock before finding a stuffed animal and changing into it. 'Boobies boobies, Koyuzu's gonna get some boobies!' And so she waited.
1 minute and 23 seconds later, she lost her patience. Quickly turning her right hand back into a human one, she plucked a few strands of fake fur off of Chisaki's stuffed animals, took out a leaf, and in a few seconds, a tiny little fly familiar was made. 'Go my little fly!' She ordered as the familiar flew out of the room. 'Fly and get in really close!'
Through the fly's compound eyes, Koyuzu took in the house's architecture, so nice, so delightfully plain. 'Hm?' That sounded like bathwater! Koyuzu quickly flew to the source and rubbed her front legs greedily. She flew down to the floor and walked under the door crack. 'Ah so she was taking a bath!' That's good; now all she had to do was wait for her and- that was a man. That was the man that those human kids and their weird ghosts were with! That was the man that those human kids and their weird ghosts were with's naked body!
"Kogarashi, are you done?" Chisaki said from the other side of the door. "Your Mawashi is dry now!"
"Thanks Chisaki-cha- I mean san!"
"Such a nice man." Chisaki said with a smile as she put the garment next to the door and walked back to her room. To think that her first crush would be a wandering sumo wrestling exorcist! As she opened the door, a brown blur shot out and tackled her to the ground! "What the?!" It was a raccoon, a cute little brown anime looking raccoon that was in her breasts and crying?! "Ok..." This racoon was staring at her between her cleavage, and it looked far more intelligent than the average raccoon. "So you're the one that's been harassing me all this time." An eerie calm came over her as she held the raccoon into her breasts and got up. "That's it, stay here..." She walked to her room and sat on her bed. "Stay here all you want." And then Kogarashi-chan could get rid of this little pervert. One boy respected her and one boy stalked and molested her...when did her life turn into a manga?!

"DAMN IT!" Lyra shouted, Mega Man stopping and stomping the ground in anger. "We were tricked!"
"That little upstart!" Harp growled, gritting her teeth. "I am going to give her the worst case of diarrhea this planet has ever seen!
"Calm down." Mega Man said. "We gotta get back to Chisaki-san's house before that raccoon girl moves again!"
"Yep!" She held out her hand. "Grab it and let's go. Since I'm the only one here at full power, I can get us there faster. I keep forgetting that we're super fast in the Real World."
"You're not alone." He grabbed her hand and-

Lyra sighed. "I'll get this over with." and with that she sped out into the distance, following her map until she came to the seedy part of town. There were boarded up houses everywhere, and the smell of trash met her nostrils. She stopped on the roof of what looked to be a very decrepit storefront and looked down on the street.
[Target found]
"Ok, but which one? All these guys look like deliquents from an 80s anime!" Her systems then put an icon over the target, an adult woman with a small, somewhat messy bobcut, her eyes hidden by her hair. "HER?!" She looked like she couldn't hurt a fly! Growling, Lyra and Harp ran a scan on the girl, following her as she walked down the street. As the scan progressed, Lyra found that one of the options was blocked. "Harp?"
"That was the UV setting."
"...Alright then, thank you for that."
[Scanning...scanning...scan complete. Target has emotional and hormonal manipulation abilities equivalent to the Star Sapphire Corps of Galactic Sector 1416 and the Indigo Tribe of Galactic Sector 2814. Abilities appear to be tailored specifically tailored to the male gender]
"Ohhohoh, god no!" She took Harp off her back and played a few notes, a small spike appearing in the woman's back. And with that she sped back to Mega Man. "I'm back, take my hand, don't ask questions."
"Wait what?" Lyra took his hand and sped off to Koyuzu's house. 'Of course there'd be a succubus here!' Subaru wasn't getting anywhere near that thing if she had anything to say about it!
SFYNSFYNSFYN
Koyuzu's instincts were telling her something was wrong.
Maybe it was the eerie smile Chisaki-chan was giving her, maybe it was the fact she saw a man's unnaturally gifted penis, or- no, that was it, there was something very wrong here! But Chisaki-chan's boobs were so soft! 'Chisaki-chan, or danger, Chisaki-chan or danger?!' In the end, at least she'd die doing what she loved.
Kogarashi came in, wearing the mawashi. "Is there anything else you need?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at the raccoon. "Oh..I see.."
Koyuzu attempted to break free, but Chisaki kept her in a vice grip. "So this little guy was the one who was stalking me, groping me, turning my room into the morning commute on the train?!" The poor little Tanuki turned to the man to see him cracking his knuckles. "Are you going to hurt him?!" Chisaki hugged her even tighter to her chest! Oh such blissfull hell! "He didn't do anything too bad!"
Kogarashi's eye twitched; 9 times out of 10, the universes had girls or people like this, so lenient. "No I won't hurt him." He gently walked up to Chisaki and picked up the little raccoon. "That might change if she doesn't reveal her true form. right now." He dropped her to the floor and a puff of smoke engulfed her before she made impact, causing the two humans to cough, Kogarashi using a tiny bit of spiritual power to punch the smoke away, revealing the little Tanuki form. "Oh." Kogarashi blushed and looked away form the 8 year old looking Tanuki child. Not because she was naked, because she was fully clothed, but because she had her ears and tail out in her human form, which for a Tanuki might as well be naked"So this is why you disguised yourself as a doll."
"P-part of the reason..."Koyuzu admitted, staring at Chisaki with tear filled eyes. "I-I can't hide my ears or tail, and I was so lonely hiding out in the forest and woods, so I just went to the first house I saw!"
Kogarashi crossed his arms, turning to her once he saw that she wasn't offended. "So if me and my partners do a spectral search for your energy, we won't find traces of your energy?" He raised a brow as the little Youkai stiffened in fear. "The two that were trailing you? Their tracking abilities are good, but they're nowhere near as tracking Youkai and other mystical beings like I am."
Koyuzu wilted under his stare. "Y-yes, I-" But before she could say anything, she found herself in Chisaki's bosom, as the older girl hugged her tightly. "HUH?!"
"Oh you poor thing!" The orange haired girl cried, much to the other two's shock. "You were so lonely and scared weren't you?!"
Koyuzu stared into Chisaki's tear filled eyes. "Y-yes I was! I couldn't find another Tanuki to take me in, so I had to go to shrines and alleyways just to eat and stay warm! I had to eat rats!" Nasty, gangly rats, not like the big plump Nezumi back home! "It was so icky and gross!"
Chisaki turned to Kogarashi, the latter backing away at the girl's teary face. "We can't hurt this sweet little thing, Kogarashi-san!"
'That sweet little 'thing' is motorboating you.' And Kogarashi knew better than to point that out. Not only would it ruin the mood, but it might push Chisaki to kick her out. "She's going to have to stay with you, you know that right? I don't have a home, and neither do my friends."
"...T-that's ok!" Chisaki yelled, holding the very delighted raccoon girl ever so tighter. "My mom will understand, she just has to! ….Why are my pajamas wet in the chest?"
"Sooo, I'm just gonna mosey on along!" Kogarashi turned and began to leave, not wanting to see the aftermath of this. "I got jobs to do, money to make, and a place to find."
"Oh that's right!" Chisaki struggled to get the little raccon off her chest and did so after a full minute, a strand of drool connecting her lips to her pajamas. "You have to watch that drool little Tan...wait,what's your name?"
"You can call me Koyuzu-chan.." The little Tanuki said dreamily. "I just tasted heaven..."
"Alright Koyuzu-chan." She put the little blonde-brownish haired girl on her bed. "Stay here." She then walked to Kogarashi. "You still need payment right?" He made an attempt to deny it, but she silenced him. "Stay here. It's not much, but I can pay you." She ushered him to the bed and sat him down next ot Koyuzu. "I'll be right back!"
The two watched as she walked quickly out of the room, Koyuzu speaking first. "So are you some Omnyouji or something?"
"I guess you can say that..more of a jack of all trades." He stared at her, the tiny girl frozen in place. "I can trust you won't hurt her right? It wouldn't be the first time my intuiton was misled."
"I-I'm just a kid!"
"And how many powerful Youkai are your age that took advantage of your position? How many humans?"
"I wouldn't hurt someone as sweet as her!" Koyuzu yelled angrily. "At first I was just glad to have some contact after leaving my village, but then she kept hugging me to her big, bouncy boobs-"
"Please stop."
"-So soft and warm, just like my mommy's."
"Stop."
"She always used to hug me whenever I got scared or lonely. I think that's where I started liking women!"
"Please stop."
"So many bras she had! My favorite was the mesh one because it made her skin really bulge-"
"-I'm back!" Chisaki announced as she came in, seeing the sumo exorcist' green face and unnerved smile. "Are you ok?
"Yeah fine." Just incredibly disturbed. "So they payment? Me and my partner need some clothes!"
"I can see that." Chisaki said as she handed him the money; he couldn't go every day dressed as a sumo wrestler after all. "¥13,550." It was all the money she saved up, but there was no way she was telling him that. "So where are you gonna go now?"
Kogarashi answered with a shrug. "Well I'm pretty partial to alleyways and under bridges-" Much to his derision. "-But since I have those two kids with me, I need to find someplace we can all stay, cheap and in good condition."
"Kids..." A light bulb went off in Koyuzu's head. "Do you mean those that weird pink girl and the half naked boy?
"What half naked boy?"
"Yeah that's them. I'm guessing you tricked them?"
"YEP!"
"You're traveling with a half naked boy?"
"Figured." Technological beings were easy pickings for a Tanuki's tricks. "Hold on a second." He closed his eyes and focused. "Ok, they're coming... Koyuzu, Chisaki-san, stand near the window. They can phase through matter and they're coming in fast."
'HIS PARTNER'S THAT GHOST?!' He was even cooler than she thought if he could control someone that weird! "Alright then."
"They should be coming in 5...4...3...2..1-uh-oh." And before he could warn the two girls-
CRASH!
Kogarashi moved quickly, taking the blanket off of the bed and punching the smoke away as he put the blanket over the tangled up foursome...and completely missed. "Oh crap." Well this...how did this even happen?
Koyuzu's head was directly underneath Lyra and seemed pretty happy about it, the older blonde sitting in an upright position despite her body coming in at a horizontal angle, while Mega Man was covered even more thanks to Chisaki somehow lying above his body, somehow getting her breasts over his had, and somehow, somehow, her lower half was shredded, and that was all Kogarashi needed to see.
"Hold on, I'm covering you guys up." He'd seen worse, weirder situations and it wasn't worth it to react to this outlier.
A couple minutes later and Chisaki had put on some new clothes, a cute, knee-length pleated skirt and a pink blouse. Seeing as how her room was ruined -and not wanting to deal with that mess for a while- She moved the conversation to the dining room, her sitting near the kitchen with Koyuzu in her lap while the half naked boy, the weird girl and the nice sumo wrestler sat at the left, right, and back respectively. She and her hopefully new roommate listened to their story as Kogarashi-san explained everything. "That's horrible!" As she teared up, she didn't see Koyuzu staring at the trio with suspicion. It was kind of hard to lie to most Youkai after all. "You guys are welcome in my house anytime!"
"Actually that's ok." Mega Man said, ignoring the glare Lyra sent him. "While we're in this form, we don't need to eat or sleep, so-" His lips moved, but no sound came from his mouth. Once he realized this, he glared at Lyra.
"What my naive, very stupid bestie is trying to say, is that we would be delighted."
"But we cannot stay." Kogarashi interjected. "Unless you want to explain this to Miyazaki-san's mother. She already has a lot on her plate, convincing her mother to keep a stray, but now three people dressed as weirdly as we are?!"
Lyra thought of something to debate his logic but stayed her hand, crossing her arms and pouting. "Fine you're right." She rolled her eyes at the glare he sent her, and with a snap of her fingers, restored Mega Man's voice.
"Thank you, and Kogarashi-san is right. Me and Lyra-chan are working to acclimate here so we can find the best way to get home, and getting involved in our type of work is dangerous. You saw what we did when we just landed in your room." He held up War-Rock, causing Koyuzu to shake in fear. "And just imagine how dangerous it could get if we fought."
"I see." These two were not normal 10 year olds, that's for sure. It was like they were older, like how anime and manga writers make kids, but have them talk as if they were twice their age. "Well there are a couple of cheap inns-"
"No roaches or snakes." Mega Man and Lyra said, the former saying the word snake with a shocking amount of hatred.
"O-ok!" Chisaki replied nervously. "Well, there is this one place you could go to, and with your skills, I'm sure you can make it there. It's called-
"-The Yuragi Inn." Kogarashi mumbled before throwing up, having taken a ride on Mega Man's back to speedily arrive at their destination. "Oh we're finally here!" He began kissing the ground before going to the bushes and vomiting. He really hated traveling with EM beings!
The sun had set by the time they got here. Yukemori City had quite the ghost and deliquent problem, and with their powers, it was quite easy to make a good amount of money. Thanks to Chisaki giving them the information on the inn, Mega Man and Lyra quickly looked up the listings, history, and the necessary money needed to live here, as well as the easiest bus routes from here to the main sections of the city once the two of them acclimated. War-Rock looked up and stared at Mega Man at the giant building on top of the massive hill. "This is a castle right?"
"I think so..." Mega Man stared in wonder. "So this is the place we'll be spending the first part of the rest of our lives in." He felt Lyra grab his right hand and clench it. "Thanks."
"We went through a lot of crazy stuff today Mega Man." The worry in her eyes was palpable. "How're you taking this?"
"I'll be fine...I hope." The only solace he had was that Cepheus was keeping his word after all, so the invasion of their Earth was off. "Shall we get going?"
Lyra nodded, and once Kogarashi recovered, the two went up the massive stairs to their new home.
