10-hru C.2

I would describe my night as one of the most exciting and magical nights. I rode on top a dragon. This wasn't any dragon, but this dragon was apparently going to be my first maid! We soar through the night sky as we made our way to the clothing store. My body felt the fresh breeze blowing as Tohru flew through the clouds. As I look back, the clouds we passed by changed shapes and change shifts to our direction. The city lights could be seen all the way from up here. The sky scrapers looked miniature from here as well. Even if I was fascinated by the sight, I was still afraid to fall off. So I held onto Tohru tightly.

"You okay back there?" Tohru yelled.

"I'm fine, just trying not to fall off!"

"Don't worry, I'll catch you if you do!"

At least I can trust her. He thought.

Suddenly, Tohru's appearance changes, including Kioshi.

"Tohru! Why are we glowing?" He asked the dragon in front.

"One of my abilities, perception blocking!"

"We're invisible?"

"Correct. We don't want anyone finding us up here, right?" Tohru asked.

"You're right."

Tohru glides down towards the city and safely lands on the city ground.

"We've landed, now we need to go to some place where nobody can see us." Tohru said, looking around to see where they can run off to so they can turn off her ability. "Over there! Follow me!" Tohru grabs Kioshi's hand and pulls him with her.

"W-Wait up!" He said, attempting to step up his pace with Tohru's.

They walk into an empty alleyway between the buildings where she can disable her perception blocking and walk out with her master.

"I'm going to turn off my perception blocking. Make sure that you don't let go during the process." Kioshi nods and lets Tohru do what she needs to do. Two spell circles appear around them. One was hovering over them, the other was lying on the ground where they were both standing. In matter of seconds, the two spells circles collide and disable the spell.

"Finished! Let's go buy those items for Kanna!" Tohru said.

"Oh, right! The school supplies!"

They walk out of the alley way and are met with the sight of a bunch of people walking around the city. There were adults and a few were teenagers who walked on the side walk. The two walk side by side.

"Even at night, the streets are still busy!" Kioshi commented.

"It's always crowded. Haven't you been outside before?" Tohru asked.

"What do you mean? Of course I've been outside, I just don't go out at night. I would rather relax, especially after a long day of work."

"Your brother told me that you're an engineer of music. I forgot what it was called." Said the blonde dragon.

"Oh he talked about me, I'm guessing you have an idea of what kind of person I am then, right?" He asked Tohru who then nods. "I'm a mixing engineer. I am in charge of mixing the vocals and instrumentals of a song as well as adding effects to the final product."

"Is it a hard job?" Tohru asked out of curiosity.

"I wouldn't say hard but a more time consuming job. The only bad things about the job is finalizing the song. I have to listen to the song with the original owner to make sure that he or she are satisfied with the final version of the song." Kioshi informed his maid.

"So you enjoy your job?"

"Of course, I wanted to be involved with the music business since high school. I prepared my whole life for this opportunity. There were many obstacles I had to dodge throughout life. I never gave up."

Tohru smiled after he said this. Before they knew, they've arrived to the store.

"We're here. Let's buy those supplies for Kanna. I'm excited to meet her." Kioshi said.

"I'm sure you'll get along with her." Tohru said.

Kioshi and Tohru buy the school supplies for Kanna. Those being a new backpack, this time a cuter version of the one before. Just like the first time, every item had to be as cute as possible. She didn't want anything plain as a yellow no.2 pencil, she wanted a cute variation of one. When Tohru first told Kioshi this, he sighed but went on with it anyways. Spending most of the night out shopping with at least four bags. Tohru and Kioshi exit the building. Both having two large bags in each hand.

"Tohru, I'll hold those for you." Kioshi said.

"Not a worry, I'm your maid after all." Tohru said.

"You're still a lady. I'm not suppose to let one do the heavy lifting."

"Really, it's fine I can handle it." She tried persuading him.

"Tohru, I'm your master. Hand me the bags." He said in a demanding tone.

Tohru sighs. "Yes master." She hands him the bags.

"Thanks. Keep in mind that you're not my maid just yet. We haven't even set up your room yet. Which is why we have your things in these bags as well. So take it easy for the rest of the day. Got it?"

Tohru blushed, then she chuckled a bit before responding. "Got it!"

The two walk to Kioshi's house. This was going to be the first time Tohru has ever been to the house.

"We're back." Kioshi lead her to the door and opened it up. "Ladies first." He said, allowing her in first.

"Thank you." She responded. I never expected him to be this nice. Tohru thought.

The first thing you would see was the hall way of the house. On each side of the hallway, there are entrances for the upstairs. If you had a room by the right side of the building, you would go to the right. But if you wanted to go to the left side, you could either go downstairs and go to the left side, or you can just walk in the hallway upstairs which lead to the other side. Either wouldn't matter, only difference was the amount of time it would take you to walk there.

"Let's set up your room." Kioshi said, Tohru nods. "These two entrances share the same hall way. Your room is in the left, so we go to the left. Those are where the spare rooms are located." He leads her to the second floor.

"Luckily, the two rooms are big enough to fit large groups in them. So if you or Kanna ever want to invite any friends during the weekends, there won't be any problems. Just make sure I'm aware of it so I can treat the guests."

Kioshi opens the door and reveals her new room. There were already bed sheets on the bed, they weren't used however. He decided to replace those with Tohru's new bed sheets so she could be comfortable in her bed with a good night sleep.

"Alright, let's prepare your bed." He said.

They prepared the bed with the new bed sheets and blankets bought from the furniture store. They both went by the opposite sides of the bed and placed the bed sheets, then they finally placed the blanket Tohru wanted, the one with cat decorations. This reminded her of the same blanket Kobayashi used to have back at her old apartment.

"All set. Took us quicker than I had anticipated."

"It's faster to have someone help you with something."

"True. It's getting kind of late. Care to take shower?" Kioshi asked.

"I could use a shower."

"Luckily you have your own shower in this bedroom. Through that door, there's your bathroom and shower. But if you would like to relax, then there's the bathtub down stairs. Just...remember to lock the door."

"Thanks, I'll use the tub this time." Tohru said.

"Great! I'll show you the way." He leads her down, then to the door of the room where the bathtub would be located.

"Towels have been stocked in the cabinets as well as shampoo and soap. Before you enter, may I please have your maid uniform? I'm doing the laundry after."

"Oh! No need for that! These are my scales!"

"Huh? Your scales?" Kioshi said in confusuion.

"Yes, my scales. When I transform back to my dragon form, my clothes turn back into my scales."

"What happens if they rip?"

"I wait until I shed."

"Um, interesting? Anyways, I'll be in my room." Kioshi turns around. "If you need anything feel free to ask!"

"Sure thing." Tohru responded before going into the room. She takes off her clothes, places them in the counter of the room then lets her hair loose. Tohru turns on the warm water until the tub was full. She picks up the soap and bath sponge and proceeds to wash herself. All the bubbles produced from the soap stick on her naked body while some of it falls to the tiled floor.

Kioshi...he really is something. Not only did he give me a place to live in, but he's fine with the fact that I'm a dragon. I got lucky for finding a person like him. The only humans right now who know about my true form are Masanori, Kobayashi and now Kioshi. My new master. Kioshi, I will not disappoint you. Starting tomorrow, I'll do the best I can! Tohru thought.

Next morning↓

Kioshi yawns. "Time for another day of work, I guess. Ugh, I want to sleep some more." But he had to work, so he got up anyways. He washes his face in his bathroom, brushes his teeth, dresses up, combs his hair and then exits the room to the kitchen. At first expecting to cook the breakfast himself. Turns out that someone made it before him.

"Good morning master!" Tohru said as she flipped the eggs.

"Morning? You woke up early."

"I had to, I need to feed you before you leave to work. You like pork?"

"S-Sure?" He replied before sitting down on the dining table.

While Tohru cooks, Kioshi starts thinking about his maid.

Hard to believe that I have maid. Not to mention that she's dragon, which makes her my dragon maid. Nice slip off the tongue. Kioshi looks up at Tohru. How come I've never noticed this until now. Tohru...she looks gorgeous. From her blonde hair, her red illuminating eyes, her tone of voice, her bust size, her hourglass figure. She's so beautiful. However she has a cute side too. The way her horns pop out of her head are so cute too! Reminds me of some cosplay. Kioshi thought, suddenly Tohru snapped him out of his daydream.

"Master! Someone is ringing the door bell!" Tohru informed.

"Y-Yes! I'm on my way!" He stood up from his seat and opened the front door. "Hello?" He looked out at the distance but no one was in his sight.

"Hey mister." Said the voice of a little girl. Kioshi looked down and saw a blue-eyed girl with white-lavender hair, tied into pigtails with dark blue beads. Dressed in a white caplet with a fur collar, a white skirt, pink blouse as well as pink doll shoes. "Are you Kioshi? Brother of Masanori?"

"Yes, that's me. Who are you?" Kioshi asked.

"I'm Kanna Kamui." She said.

"You're Kanna? Come right in! You're just in time for breakfast." He leads her to the kitchen.

Tohru turns around. "Master, who was tha-?" She stopped as she saw Kanna appear.

"Tohru!" Kanna charged towards Tohru. "I've missed you!" She hugs Tohru's waist.

"Kanna, I thought that you would be back two weeks from now?"

"I was, but I my parents said that I could come back. So I couldn't wait any longer." Kanna informed.

"Jeez Kanna. We're having breakfast, you hungry?" Tohru asked, Kanna nods and sits on one of the chairs by the dining table.

After Tohru served them their rations, Kioshi tries talking with Kanna. Sadly, she only replied with simple answers. It could either be that she's shy around him or that she just despises him, like the first time she met Kobayashi. After all of the attempts, he checks the time and finds out that he was going to be late if he didn't leave now.

"Shoot! I have to leave!" He rapidly grabs his phone and approaches both of the dragons. "Thanks for the food Tohru, it was delicious." He gives her a quick unexpected hug. "See ya Kanna, follow Tohru's orders." He rubs Kannas head. Kioshi exits the house and leaves the two alone.

"He...hugged me?" Tohru said.

After his departure, Kanna ate the rest of her and Kioshi's breakfast. Now full of energy, she asks for a bit of fun.

"Tohru, can we explore the house?" She asked.

"Sure."

Tohru gives Kanna a tour around the house by first introducing her new room, this time a larger one. Containing her new bedsheets and blankets, cute just the way she wanted. Soon, Tohru shows her the garage, living room, bathrooms and the master bedroom, which was the one Kioshi sleeps in. The last room she didn't notice was the one located beside his room.

"I never been in that room. Let's see what in it." Tohru said, as Kanna had a sparkle of wonder in her eyes.

The door creaks open, the room was dark that the only light source was the window being blocked by dark curtains. She turns on the lights and there had revealed several objects. Wasn't anything to be excited about anyways. There was a computer, a printer, a grand piano, a keyboard, a desk, few cabinets, headphones and earbuds, a collection of CDs in the shelves and finally, the object that stood out the most was a signed poster of some artist. Most of these things were used for work while some are just for entertainment.

"I'm guessing it's his workroom, looks like he really loves music after all." Tohru commented before she noticed that Kanna wasn't beside her anymore. Tohru looked around and found her near Kioshi's grand piano.

"Kanna don't touch that!"

"Aww." Kanna said with a disappointed expression.

"You can't play with people's property if they aren't yours!" Tohru said, she felt pity for the small dragon. That was when she came up with an idea. "Kanna~. I think I've got an idea that you might like." Tohru said playfully.

"What is it?" Asked the white-lavender haired girl.

"When Kioshi comes back, we can ask him to teach you how to use that. That is if you ask him nicely." Tohru's words caused a smile to appear on Kanna's face.

Time-Skip→

"Dang, rough day at work but I got a lot done. The final version of the songs sound so good. I'm going to have to buy that album now." Kioshi said before opening the door. He closes it and finds Kanna yet again in front, looking up at him.

"Can you teach me how to play the piano?" Kanna asked.

"My grand piano? I guess the two of you checked out my workroom. Hmm, sure! Let's go." Another smile appeared once again.

Both of them went upstairs to the right side to arrive at his workroom. He sits on the black bench placed by his piano. Kioshi pats on the spot next to him, signaling Kanna to take a seat. The second she sat on the bench next to him, Kioshi plays his original piece. This one was a fast and complex piece to play. Kanna was amazed by how fast his fingers were placed on each each key. Tohru heard the piano from downstairs, so she followed the sound of the piano and stopped by the open entrance of the workroom. There she stood, leaning on the wall while listening to the sweet sound of the piano. Tohru felt many emotions during the small recital, while Kanna on the other hand felt chills by how fascinating the music was. As soon as he finished, Kanna praised him and begged him teach her how to play like that.

"It takes a lot of practice to play this's type of piece. So for today, we'll do the basics. I'll teach you a few musical notes to memorize and then you'll play a small section. Sound good?" Kioshi asked the small child beside him.

"Yay!" Kanna said happily.

Look at that, he's bonding with Kanna. How I'm so grateful. He such a nice man. Tohru thought.

The more she observed them, she started experiencing something that was all too familiar. It was coming from her throbbing heart. Tohru immediately recognized the feeling.

No! Don't tell me that...I'm falling for him!
