*sigh*

"What's taking him so long?" Said the young dragon with salmon hair with sky blue colored ends. She picked herself up from the bed, made her way to the door and sat in front of it. Her name was Ilulu.

Ilulu was one of the dragons that used to live with Kobayashi three years ago. She used to the be part of the Chaos faction. She was taught that humans were no good, blood-thirsty creatures who wanted to murder all dragons. The saddest thing of all was that she used to play with humans back when she was younger, to the fact that she was in good terms with them. After her parents were murdered by humans, her fellow dragons convinced her of having the same hatred. After that, she stopped playing with humans. As she got older, she started getting involved in the murders of humans, she has killed people before. All because of the others giving him the wrong idea, not all humans were guilty. The first time arriving on this version of the earth, she used to be this psychotic, violent dragon. Ilulu's purpose of her arrival was to track down Tohru, she found out that Tohru was co-existing with a human. So that's when she decided to fight Tohru. Unfortunately, she was defeated by Tohru. It was expected since Tohru was expected to be one of the most powerful dragons of her world. Ilulu's defeat would soon cause her to hide and spy on Kobayashi and the others. She couldn't understand on how humans like Kobayashi would want to co-exist with a dragon like Tohru. She thought that it was lust that made the two to stay attached. Numerous attempts of trying to seduce Kobayashi led to her breasts getting slapped.

Until one night, she decided to walk around the park alone. Without expecting it, she was hit by someone. It was a dragon from the harmony faction, Clemene. Ilulu tried fighting for herself, but she failed so quickly. Clemene continued beating Ilulu up until she couldn't stand herself up anymore. Before he could give the final blow to end Ilulu's misery, Kobayashi appeared out of nowhere to defend Ilulu. As Kobayashi kept refusing to back away, Clemene was determined to kill both at once. Luckily, Tohru arrived just in time. Being the powerful dragon she was, she easily defeated Clemene. After the fight, Tohru confessed that he planned on killing Clemene right at that moment. She had a change of plans shortly after encountering him. If Tohru had killed Clemene, this would encourage other dragons from the Harmony faction to invade this earth. The following night, Ilulu had her first impression of the humans, this time it was a good one. There were good humans in this world after all. Ilulu started living with Kobayashi and the others shortly after.

Just like Tohru and Kanna, Ilulu would have to get used to her new world and lifestyle. There were a few misconceptions here and there. For example, she mistook love and friendship as the same thing. Ilulu admitted that she wanted to breed with Kobayashi, even though she was woman. Although, there was that spell that could change people's genders, just like how Ilulu casted the spell on Kobayashi on that one time. But there was one human who helped her understand humans better. His name was Taketo Aida, or as people call him, Take.

Taketo was this 16 year old boy who would sometimes help run the candy shop owned by his grandmother. One day, he arrived to the shop after he finishing school for the day. Without alarm, he found a young girl with a generous bust who looked to be around his age. He questioned her, without knowing that this was the new employee. Take apologized right after. He still had his doubts though, so he looked after Ilulu, just in case if she wasn't doing anything wrong. Ilulu would close up shop with Taketo right after.

After a long day of work, Ilulu complained that she didn't have any fun. She had to resist for playing with the kids outside while she was working. That was she started getting depressed for a bit when she realized that no one else was outside besides Taketo and her. After explaining it to him, Take asked her if she wanted to play with him at the park for a bit before going home. Ilulu smiled and accepted. The two would later become friends as she continued working at the shop. Now she was able to tell the difference between friendship and love. By the time Taketo turned 18, he finally confessed to Ilulu. The year after that, Taketo had to go to college. At first being worried that he would have to leave Ilulu. Soon he had an idea, Take would rent an apartment and let Ilulu live with him. Ilulu at the time was into him so much that she would do anything to get closer to him. Just like with Kobayashi, she wanted to breed with Taketo.

The doorknob started turning around, meaning that someone was unlocking the door with the apartment key. Ilulu smiled, her boyfriend finally arrived after a long day of college. As soon as Taketo opened the door, Ilulu launched out of the door to hug her boyfriend. Her push was so powerful that she tackled both of them off of the floor of the apartment building (their apartment is located on the third floor).

"Again Ilulu?" Taketo questioned while airborne with her.

"I missed you!" Ilulu responded before taking out her wings to stop them from falling, safely landing them to the ground. "What took you so long?" Ilulu asked.

"I was having trouble with an assignment. So I asked the teacher for help, it took longer than expected."

"Oh good! I thought you would abandon me here." Ilulu sighed in relief before taking her wings out to safely land themselves.

"Why would I abandon my own apartment with all my stuff in it."

"I don't know! I just got worried that's all!"

Taketo sighs. "Come on, let's go eat." He offers his hand. "Shall we?"

Ilulu blushes. "Sure." She holds his hand along the way, back to his apartment.

To this day, Ilulu is still crazy over him. By the time they arrived at the apartment, Ilulu reminded him of their daily routine every time he arrives home.

"Take! You forgot to give me my kiss!"

"Oh yeah, how could I forget? I had a long day, I'll give you a kiss tomorrow after I get some sleep." Taketo tried making the excuse.

"Taketo!" Ilulu pouted, causing him to chuckle over her reaction.

"Just kidding." He kisses the dragon on her lips, causing her face to turn into a shade of red. Ilulu's heart pounded faster as they kept going, her tongue entered his mouth without permission. This gave Taketo a sweet taste of her saliva. He gave in after a few seconds before releasing.

"Wow. I thought you wanted a hello kiss, not a make out session!"

"I did but I couldn't help my self!" Ilulu said.

"I'm not surprised."

"What? A girl has needs too!" Ilulu said.

"You know that we could do that in bed, right?"

"Ooh! So you finally want to breed?" Ilulu's eyes sparkled in joy.

"That's not what I meant!" He blushed. "Well, I'm going to start cooking now. What do you want to eat today?"

"Steak with fried rice!" She says out loud.

"Alright, I'll call you when it's finished.

They part ways, Taketo would make his way to the kitchen to cook up dinner while Ilulu goes to the living room to watch television. By now, she should be used to watching television alone, but it wasn't the same as watching it with Taketo. She enjoys every moment with him. Twenty minutes later, the food was ready.

"Ilulu! Time to eat!" Taketo shouted from the kitchen.

"Coming!"

Ilulu arrives at the table, Take serves the food, he takes a seat with her.

They both clasped their hands. "Thank you for the food." They said before digging in.

Flashback...↓

It was getting dark outside, almost time for the fireworks to start firing. The festival occurred in the area. Everyone was having fun at the festival. Some of the adults were selling food, children were playing around and families were gathered together to walk around. Everyone would have the time of their lives while Ilulu would be in the candy shop working. At this time of year, there would be a lot of customers at this candy store. Adults would sometimes arrive alone or be accompanied by their child. But that only happens hours before the fireworks start. Families would start looking for somewhere to sit so they could view the scenery of the colorful lights flashing around the dark sky. For now, Ilulu wouldn't be able to witness the fireworks, as she's never seen them in action before, nor has she heard about them before.

Ilulu was still alone in the candy shop. None of the customers visited the shop since the past hour. Only thirty more minutes before the fireworks start. Suddenly, she hears a voice that was all too familiar.

"Ilulu!" A voice said.

"Take!"

There revealed Taketo Aida. "How's everything going?"

"Good actually, it got crowded a few hours back. Now it's all quiet all of a sudden. Kind of boring if there's no people here."

"Must be because of the fireworks show. There are families outside looking for a place to sit to look at the fireworks."

"Fireworks? You mean like dragons breathing fire?"

"No. You've never heard of fireworks before?"

"Not at all."

"Then you should go with me! It'll be fun!"

"But I have work! Besides, who's going to watch the shop while I'm gone?"

"I'll take care of the shop." They hear a voice call out from outside, it was Taketo's grandmother.

"Don't you have a food stand to run?" Ilulu asked.

"Don't worry about that sweetie. One of my friends are running it for me while I take a break from cooking. A woman needs rest you know?"

"Are you sure grandma? We can stay here and watch the shop instead. There's always next year!"

"Nonsense! You're all the younger ones. Go on! Enjoy your lives while you can! Besides, your girlfriend comes first!" The elder teased.

"Wh-What?" Take said with a blush.

"Never mind, go on!" She said.

Take shrugged it off and chuckled afterwards. "Shall we?" He asks Ilulu, she nods in return.

After walking out of the shop, Take tells her to start running with him so they could find somewhere comfortable to sit by. As they ran around, Take noticed a few things about Ilulu. It's been bothering him for a while, Ilulu didn't seem like a normal girl. Since the first day she started working at the shop, he started noticing these things. He didn't want to assume anything without context. So he's decided to ask her himself, at least after he asks her something he's never asked before.

By the time they found a spot, there were only a few minutes remaining before the fireworks show starts.

"We're kind of far from the shop aren't we?" Taketo asked the Ilulu.

"We sure are. But at least we found a good spot! So what's the deal with the fireworks? You told me they were colorful. Must be nice, huh?" She asks.

"They are pretty to look at, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have sensitive hearing. They're loud."

"I've been in many battles, don't worry about it!" She said.

"Okaaay." He started getting suspicious.

Before they could talk any longer, the fireworks started shooting up to the black sky. There were huge varieties of colors and shapes. There were bursts, big bangs and quiet ones. Ilulu enjoyed every bit of it. When the show ended, Taketo decided to ask her what he had in mind.

"Ilulu I need to tell you something."

"What's up?"

"I wanted to tell you that...that...ugh! I don't know how to say it!"

"Say what?" Asked Ilulu.

"I like you."

Ilulu smiled as well. "I like you too!" She responded, causing him to get confused.

"Ilulu, I don't think that you got the idea." This time, he rephrased his confession. "I love you Ilulu." Now she got the idea.

"L-Love?"

He nods in return.

"But Take, I'm a dragon."

"Huh? What?" He said.

Ilulu lets her horns and tail out. She lifts her arms and spins her self around to show every part to him.

"I know that this is hard to believe, but I kind of already knew." Take responded.

"You did? How?"

"Well...a month ago, I accidentally took a peek on you while you were changing into your uniform. I saw your horns. I didn't think that they were real, I thought that they were just cosplay. Plus, I overheard you about your flame bags. Which makes sense now."

"Oh wait. I heard that you're supposed to be embarrassed when someone peeks on you." She wraps her arms around her chest, causing her breasts to press up.

"Pervert." She said.

"That's was one long reaction. Anyways." He focuses again. "Will you accept my confession?"

"Are you sure that you want to be my lover? Take, I've killed humans before. Doesn't that bother you?"

Taketo went silent for a minute. Was he truly fine with the fact that she's killed many of his kind before? Would he accept the dragon that stands before him?

"Ilulu, there must be a good reason why you killed those humans, right?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Remember what you told me? You mentioned that you enjoyed playing with kids. Which means when you were little, you played around with them. Only until one tragic event happened that caused you stop playing with them. That could only mean that you were taught and raised to hate on humans. If that's the case, then it isn't your fault. You were raised like that."

Ilulu's eyes widened, how did he summarize her whole childhood in just a minute?

"How did you-?" She was interrupted.

"But look at you now. You've changed for the better. Same applies for humans, anyone can change! The past is the past! What matters most is the present! We have to make the best of it!" Taketo stopped before continuing. "So in other words, I don't care if you're a dragon from the chaos faction! All I care is about you only! Ilulu, I want to be with you! I like everything about you! Your eyes, your hair, your voice, everything! I love every moment that we get to spend with each other. I sometimes get lonely when we part ways! Ilulu."

Take moves towards Ilulu and holds up her hand. "I love you." He stares deep into her eyes. For the first time in a while, she blushes! Every time he's with her, she rarely ever blushes, even when she catches him staring at her breasts.

"Well...if you're okay with me...I guess I'll accept." She smiled,

Take sighs. "Thank you. I'm glad I told you about my feelings towards you. It's like a great weight has been lifted off of my shoulders."

She chuckles. "You're weird!" She hugs her new boyfriend.

Flashback end...↑

Ilulu and Taketo walk into their bedroom together. Since it was getting late, they decided to go to sleep right away. They crawl into bed, under the warm blankets. Ilulu wraps her arms around Taketo and lays her head on his chest.

"Take. Thank you for choosing me and accepting the way I am. I'm glad that I met a person like you." She says.

Taketo places his hand on her head so he can curl Ilulu's salmon-colored hair. "You made my life better. I'm glad we met that day." He said, causing her to blush.

"Take, can we breed?"

Taketo sighs. "Someday we will, but not now." She pouts.

"Fine. Can we make out at least?" Ilulu asks.

"Well...we are in bed. So it wouldn't hurt right."

"Yay!" Ilulu escapes from his arms and positions herself on top of Taketo.

"Don't be so rough on the kissing though!"

Like he said before, they're not going to have sex...not yet at least.
