Kise's P.O.V

Kaku-cchi hung up and smiled. "C'mon Kise-kun, we have to get home!"

"Nee, Kaku-cchi, who's the he?" I asked out of curiousity, and a bit of jealousy.

"Hiraki!" She replied. "When I was little, I would always play with him!"

I remained quiet for awhile, and looked away. She then stopped and gave me a kiss.

"Don't look so down, dummy!" She said. I looked at her. "Hiraki is a wolf!"

We then entered her house. Hisashi-san was at the enterance and helped with the bags. Kaku-cchi set her bag down as her little sister entered the room.

"Onee-chan! Welcome back!" She hugged her. Emi-chan then looked near the hallway. A wolf then appeared. He had a gray coat with black spots. The fur on his head was black with tints of red. Like Kaku-cchi, he only had one eye too.

"Hiraki!" She cried. The four-legged creature came up and hugged my girlfriend.

"It's been far too long, Kaku-chan." It spoke! They then broke their embrace, and Kaku-cchi went into the kitchen. I had sat down at the table. The wolf came up and sat on the ground near me.

"What's your name?" He asked me.

"R-Ryota Kise." I responded, tensing up.

"You shouldn't be so tense, Ryota-kun." He said. "Are you Kaku-chan's friend?"

"I-I'm her boyfriend." I replied. The wolf's eyes widened, and then gave me a soft smile.

"Kaku-chan's finally at that age, huh?" He said. "You have my approval." He attempted to hug me, but I came down and hugged him instead. His paw wrapped around my back.

Dinner took awhile, so I decided to talk to him.

"How long have you known Kaku-cchi, Hiraki-kun?" I asked.

"I've known her ever since she was five." He replied. "Before Hisashi came in and took both of them in, Kaku-chan lived with her foster parents."

"Eh?" I asked, confused.

"Her foster father lost his life protecting her in battle." He continued. "Her foster mother remains back in our hometown, looking after it."

"I see." The wolf smiled.

"Don't let her past confuse you." He said. "Kaku-chan is still the energetic girl I've known. She honestly hasn't changed a bit." He turned and looked at me.

"Treasure her, okay? She's like my little sister." I nodded.

We ate dinner together, and as Emi, Kaku-cchi, and Hiraki remained in the kitchen to clean up. I decided to talk to Hisashi-san about the entire "moving in" thing.

"Kise-kun," He spoke. "I'm pretty sure Emi texted Kakusei about you moving in, right?"

"Yes, sir." I replied.

"Would you like to?" He asked. "I mean, if it's okay with your parents."

"Ah, I live alone so it doesn't really matter." I said. "Living with Kakusei-chan, Emi-chan, and you would be fun." He smiled.

"Oh," He said. "One more thing. Hiraki-kun is gonna use the guestroom, so I'm pretty sure you don't mind sharing Kakusei's bedroom, do you?" I smiled at the thought of falling asleep with my girlfriend in my arms.

"I don't mind at all sir." He nodded.

"But one more thing.." He slowly said. As soon as I blinked, he whipped out a giant sword. "Any funny business and you know where this is headed, right?" Kaku-cchi then rushed out and attacked her own guardian!

"Oi, old-timer, don't threaten him like that." She said, weilding a real sword with flames coming out of it.

"Wanna fight, red-haired shrimp?" He asked in response.

"Don't fight, you idiots!" Hiraki yelled. He then turned to me. "Sorry about this, Ryota-kun." I shook my head.

"S-Sir, I promise nothing will happen." He finally put his sword away.

"Fine." He replied with a pouty face.

Kaku-cchi ran up to me and hugged me. Emi came and grabbed my hand.

"Welcome to the family." She said with a smile on her face.

Tomorrow, I'll grab my things and move in with them.

This'll be interesting.
