Unlikely Heroes

Chapter 3: What He Looks Like

The next day came and still only a bit of the moon could be seen at night. Even so this wasn't on Liru's mind at all. Rather it was more on the encounters with Nicholas so far. And yet the female wasn't annoyed by him at all. There was something about the male that she couldn't put her finger on but somehow liked already.

This night however the truck that delivered Ishiyakiimos was going through the area where the treehouse was. These were yams baked on hot-stones. As soon as Liru heard the sound of the announcement of them from the vehicle, werewolf was out of the tree house in a flash. The driver recognized the girl and immediately stopped when he saw her on the side of the road.

The werewolf was about to speak that she wanted one as usual when one of her wolf like ears twitched. The sound of footsteps could be heard by the female. Turning her head she saw Nicholas emerge from around the side of one of the buildings. His usual outfit was on.

"Beautiful night tonight. Don't you think?" he asked the female. "A pity really that you can only see it as a sliver of what it really is." The male looked up to the moon to see that it was just at the beginning on becoming full. Liru looked up as well and saw what he meant. "Mind if I join you for some of that yakiimo? I'll even pay for both." Nicholas then put on a smile; just like that of a kids. Liru couldn't help but blush; it was one of the things she wanted in a boyfriend.

"Uh… sure," the female managed to get out.

"Here, this might make it easier for me to see." The male took off his sunglasses and got out a pair of small, square frame glasses from one of the pockets on his hoodie. Putting these new ones on, and putting the others in the same pocket. Liru could see that his eyes were colored green. "Pick which ever one you want."

After getting which one they wanted both of them sat on the wall behind them just enjoying their treat. "Aw man, this is great!" stated Nicholas after taking a bite. "I'm glad I came over."

"Came over?" asked the werewolf.

"Well I was out for a nightly stroll and happened to be going down this street when I heard the announcement from that truck."

Liru made no reply but continued to eat, stealing glances at him. And overtime she kept finding things she liked about Nicholas. It seemed to happen a lot with her and the girls with any cool or handsome guy. The male quickly finished his food. "That hit the spot!" he stated with a grin; that same one from before. "Nothing like some warm food for a little snack at night."

"Mmm!" Liru agreed with a smile herself. Nicholas saw that and couldn't help but think it made the female even more hot. The werewolf also finished her treat.

"So then, do you live nearby? If not, I can walk you home if you want."

She didn't answer but turned away, blushing hard. "Well…. uh…" Liru was playing with her fingers a bit. "I actually live over there." She pointed to the treehouse.

"Oh that's cool," stated Nicholas. "I didn't know you lived in something like that. I've seen ones like that before. Well in that case I'll take my leave." He began to walk away. But then stopped to look at the female. "I'll see you around Liru." The male then turned a corner, leaving the werewolf sighing happily.

The next night Liru was with the others except for Uma who was in her room reading her manga. They had already eaten dinner but this time the werewolf wasn't into going out. Her thoughts were only about Nicholas. That is until a knock on the door. "Who could it be at this hour?" wondered Aiko out loud.

"Hello?" went a voice that could clearly be heard. "Is anyone home?" Liru actually froze for as second. It was Nicholas. The next thing everyone knew she was at the door and opened it to find the male standing there with his hoodie opened and glasses on. "Well hey Liru."

"Yes… hey…" she breathed as blush took her face. Pachira also felt the blush come onto her face as well. This guy was hot. "Come on in."

"Wow, look at this place," stated the male as he took a look around. He then took his hoodie to reveal that he had brown hair that was long and in a ponytail. "This is quite the place." He then noticed the other two. "Ah this must be your friends. Nice to meet you."

"Yes, this is Aiko and Pachira," commentated the werewolf, able to get back to reality.

"So how did you meet Liru?" asked the vampire, getting up close to Nicholas. A slight blush was on her face.

"Well I spotted her at a festival held not too long ago then we ended up bumping into each other. So I figured I'd pay a visit." He then turned away to look at Liru, ignoring Pachira completely. This caught the werewolf's attention. The last time a guy had come in, the vampire had also tried to get him. But he hadn't ignored her at all. "I hope this isn't a bad time at all."

"Not at all!" the werewolf commented with a smile. "We've eaten already but maybe you'd like something?"

"Sure, I could do with something sweet," stated Nicholas with that kid's like smile. It wasn't long before some cookies were set out for the male. He sampled them and a look of content came on his face; they were good. Liru in the meantime sat next to the male with a soft smile. While Pachira was across and glared at the two with jealousy.

"Well those were good," stated Nicholas as he finished them off. "But now I must go."

"But you just got here!" commented Liru.

"I have other matters to attend to," said the male and looked into the werewolf's eyes with a smile. "Besides I can come every single night if you want. I know where you live after all." He then put on his hoodie. "I'll be see you around latter." Nicholas then took his leave. Little did the three females know that things were about to get a lot more interesting.
