Ch. 4

"What!?"

Draco shouted at Me. Smith. The coordinator sitting quite comfortable in Kurusu's dining chair. Simply drinking coffee as the dragon newt raged at her.

It is just another day in the Kurusu house hold. Kimihito is in the kitchen cooking for his un wante-er his special guest. The weeks have gone by rather uneventful. Well for Draco to say the least.

Living with a girl is less harrowing then Kimihito thought. Draco is an oddly good roommate. She is still hesitant around Kimihito always giving him furtive glances and calling him out on his 'unmanliness', but she's neat and helps when need; once Kimihito plays on her pride.

Yet his eyes couldn't tear away from her as he flipped his pancakes. A few days ago, he found himself just being happy by her mere aura. Her cheeky smile when he playfully praises her 'amazing' Dragonewt skills is rather charming. The way she doesn't give up, her fighting sprite. Kimihito found his haughty roommate quite admirable.

'If it's just admiration then why do I keep blushing?' Kimihito sighed at his current mind set.

Sure, Draco is cute, anyone would be a fool to think otherwise. But it's not like he likes her. And even if he does, Ms. Smith and her mon squad would have his head in jail

Taking a seat at the table with the glaring reptile and coffee drinking, Kimihito thought it must just be his hormones getting to him.

"I understand that Kimihito-kun's food is good and all, but you can't let yourself gain weight and become unhealthy." The coordinator sighed. She had come to check up on the duo, and to have some food since her yakisoba supple ran out-ahem. Since it's her job to watch over them.

Yup. That's the excuse she going to use.

"Un health-Hah!" Draco turned up her nose at Ms. Smith's words. "We dragon newts are epitome of fitness for the reptilian race! We don't get fat like you silly humans!"

"Oh, then please." Smith smile, as she gestured to the scale in the middle of the room, is all but friendly. "Step on this scale."

The proud Dragonewt started to sweat. Looking at the tiny thing as if it was cursed. She took a tentative step on instrument. One foot. Then the other.

With a loud crack, the scale shattered. Snapping under Draco with deafening and painful sound.

"…." The proud Dragonewt gave a shaky smile to snake like grin of the coordinator. They stared at each other in tense silence

"H-Ha ha ha! T-The muscles in my tail and wings are just so big- "

"Go loss some weight."

-OOO-

"Kobold gym huh?" Kimihito muttered the words on top of the towering eight story gym building.

After a long lecture, Ms. Smith had directed Kimihito and Draco to a gym where she could get a workout in.

"I still don't get why you have to come with me…" Draco grumbled. Glaring at her homestay.

Draco's purple eyes bore deep into Kimihito, making him turn his head away to his blush. "U-Uh well you only have your work visa. You still haven't gotten your card for going out on your own yet. You'd get in trouble if something were to happen."

However, Draco was far from convinced. "….Is that really the reason?"

While she doesn't exactly like Kimihito, even though she feels very relaxed around him, think he can be really nice, knows his food is amazing, and admires how stubborn he can be at times, she still worries about him from time to time.

She still doesn't like him though.

Clearly.

"Y-Yup." Squeaked Draco's homestay.

'Not like I am going to tell her I just wanted to spend more time with her.' Kimihito knew that Draco would sooner eat gravel then hang out with him willingly.

"If something were to happen to you I'd-"

Suddenly Draco blushed at her words when she realized what she had said.

"I-I-I-"

Draco spurted are she tried to change the subject.

"You'd come and save me, right?" Kimihito suddenly said. "Only a powerful Dragonewt like you could save me, right?"

"O-Of course!" Draco proudly turned her nose up at Kimihito. Turning her back with gusto as she laughed. "I will come and prove my manliness over you! Ha ha!"

However, her face was bright red as she avoided his gaze. 'Ah damn it! What's wrong with me!?'

Ever since Kimihito helped her out form her job, Draco has been feeling a little light headed and odd around him. She's luckily enough that Kimihito hasn't noticed.

'Is she ok? She been a little off for a while….' Unluckily for her, he has noticed her odd nature.

"Hello!"

"Kyah!?"

An excited booming voice form behind Draco caused her to jump right into Kimihito's arms.

The person is a kobold, a species of liminal with dog like qualities. She has short tan fur covering her body with dog ears and pads on her hands and feet. Her tail wagged in a joyful blur with a large smile on her face. Her sport shorts and top suggest that she may work at the gym.

"Ah! Draco-san!"

The spunky kobold bounced up to the quivering Dragonewt in Kimihito's arms.

"Eh? Do you know her Draco?" Kimihito asked the 'brave' Dragonewt in his arms.

"Huh? Oh…It's you Plot-san." Draco sighed in relief when she recognized the tan furred woman.

"I sometimes met her on my morning routes when she's jogging." Draco explained when he saw the human's confused look. "We…kind of became friends."

To be honest, Draco doesn't really know what to think of the over bouncy Kobold. Plot's boundless energy always tires her out, but her energy is only matched by her kindness and openness to care for all species. Kind of hard to dislike someone so likeable.

Plot titled her head as her tail wagged in joy at meeting a new person. "Do you and your boyfriend want to join my gym?"

"Wha!? B-Boyfriend!?" Draco snapped. "Y-You furry mammal! Wha-what gave you such an insane idea!?"

"Eh? Don't you cuddle with guys you like?"

Draco looked at Kimihito who was holding her in his arms. She stared at him for a full minute, her blush getting brighter and brighter before she threw herself off him. Wondering why she felt so comfortable in Kimihito's arms.

"Ahck! Ah um no! This guy is just my homestay!"

Ah!" The Kobold grasped Kimihito's hand and shook his hand with extreme enthusiasm. Making the human jerk around and nearly lost his balance.

"How are you doing!? I am Plot! This is Kobold gym! It's so great to have another human come and try out my gym! My goal is bringing Limanls and humans together through the power of exercise!"

She grabbed Draco's and raised it along with Kimihito's. The Kobold bubbling over with excitement as she yelled, "Let's get you two fit and healthy!"

-OOO-

The inside of the gym was filled with Lamilas of all shape and size running on treadmills, lifting weights the size of Kimihito himself, slamming their fists into punching bags. It looked like a regular gym. Besides the centaur clip-clopping on the treadmill or the wererabbit throwing rapped rabbit punches into a punch bag.

"That's it Draco-san! Push those muscles!" Plot encouraged the sweating Dragonewt as Draco ran on the tread mill.

"Be! Quiet! You! Workout! Maniac!"

Kimihito gave a small chuckle form his position by the window. Drinking water as he rested form his own long jog. Plot had dragged them both in the gym and threw them into separate changing rooms to get them out of there civilian clothes into more sports like attire. Not that it helps Kimihito was trying to turn his eyes away from how tight Draco's spats were around her hips.

"Dwah!"

A tall young man, wearing glasses, was flung form his treadmill into the window next to Kimihito. He doesn't look that fit. His skin very pale and body lanky and lithe. His spiky black hair a mess, covering half his face. While there is something handsome about his features, he isn't going to be winning any man of the year awards anytime soon.

"Ah! Kenchi!" Plot turned her attention to the human putting his spine back in place form slamming into the glass. The kobold pressed the pause button Draco's track. Allowing her to take a break and nearly collapses in relief.

"Geez Kenchi!" Plot helped the human dust himself off. Scolding him with pout on her face. "I told you not to push yourself so hard! Start off small and then get to the big stuff."

Kenchi, rub a hand through his messy black hair shamefully. His blue eyes "S-Sorry Polt."

The gleeful dog woman patted her human friend on the shoulder, "It's ok! Go take a break while I finish with Draco!"

The yappy Kobold went back to the panting Draco. All smiles and inspiration. "Come on Draco! Let's move those scaly legs!"

The young man slides down to the ground with tired sigh next to Kimihito. He, along with Kimihito, are the only two humans in the whole gym. It made them both feel a little more comfortable to know there is another homestay around.

"Are you a homestay too?" Kenchi asked. He's curiosity led to him to question the older young man. With this being the first time meeting another homestay and all.

"Eh heh heh. Something like that." Kimihito scratched his cheek bashfully. "Are you Polt-san's homestay?"

Kenchi rubbed his messy black hair, "It's more like she my homestay."

The twenty-year-old sighed as he gazed at the light above in the expensive gym. "We were an average family that lived in an apartment. Until some crazy lady with black hair and shades dropped in saying some insane stuff about having a Laminal staying with us to try out the homestay program. The next day were being taken to ONE of Plot's mansions."

"It felt so weird there; suddenly living on forty acres of land. But Plot was just so nice and well…." Kenchi finished his words with a blush on his face.

"You…must really like Plot-san huh?" Kimihito easily deuced form the bashful look on Kenchi's face.

"Well yeah. It's it the same with you and that Dragonewt?" Kenchi asked Kimihito who spurted and coked on his water.

"Eh!? Have I-well-I-mean…" Kimihito stammered for an answer. Until his gaze landed on Draco's. The Dragonewt wiping herself down with a towel. The shine of her sweat glowed off her pale milky skin. The glow of her lilac eyes and her lithe figure made Kimihito's face light up. Even though there are even actual succubi, demons born to be beautiful, all Kimihito could see was Draco.

However, when Draco noticed his staring she glared at him and turned her head. Her own face flushed with embarrassment and her chest beating widely fast.

"I heard that there may be a trail run for dating other species." Kenchi said with a smile on his face as he watched Polt joyful coach another member of the gym. "I am…thinking of tying it out."

"…." Kimihito kept silent. His thoughts running back at him as he wondered. 'Maybe…I should try that cross species dating….'

-OOO-

"Ugh…legs…burning…"

Kimihito gave an encouraging laugh at Draco's deflated form in her seat at the outdoor café. He brought her iced tea and sat down with her.

"Good job out there." Kimihito completed. "I honestly don't think anyone can keep up with Plot-san."

"Ugh…" Draco groaned in pain as she sipped her tea. "You know this would be the part where I would say 'of course a great Dragonewt like me would be able to handle her!' but I don't even think anyone can keep up with her..."

'Hang in there Kenchi-san…' Kimihito gave a silent pray to the young man.

They sat there, oddly enjoying each other's company. Talking about their days of work like an average pair. There were a few jokes here and there, jabs at each's faults. Between a couple this would have been a date, but for Draco and Kimihito, it was a normal day.

'Huh…' As Draco listen to Kimihito talk about his day at work. Unable to hold back the smile on her face, she thought. 'When did this become so…nice.'

"Ara Ara~ On a little date are you Kimihito-san?" The voice of Draco's boss, Hana made the her jump a little.

The alluring Ryu-jin smiled a little too kindly at Kimihito in her red sundress. Making Kimihito chuckle a little under her gaze.

Draco's mind was still on her boss's words. "T-This isn't a d-date!"

Kimihito felt a little dishearten at Draco's bold clam. As, with his face tinted pink, he realized that he wouldn't mind dating the proud Dragonewt.

"I keep telling you he's just a servant!"

Although that looks like it's going to a very uphill battle.
