It was only a few days after Ilulu moved in and found a job. Both she and Kanna were playing at Saikawa's house, leaving Tohru and Kobayashi alone in the apartment.
"How many times do I have to say it, I don't want your tail!" Kobayashi said, seeing that she was trying to serve her tail again.
Tohru pouted. She has tried everything. Even removing the poison wasn't working. Kobayashi sighs. She still didn't understand why Tohru wanted her to eat her tail.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Tohru said, speaking up.
"Hmm?" Kobayashi asked, confused.
"I need to pick up something. I'll be right back, Miss Kobayashi." She said, heading out the door.
Kobayashi looked surprised before smiling. Tohru was always like that, and she has grown used to it. To think that she was a dragon that has grown used to this world. Kobayashi drinks her coffee before hearing the doorbell. She knew it wasn't Tohru, she just left, and Kanna and Ilulu were still at Saikawa's place. She got up and walked over to the door.
"Hello?" She asked, opening it.
"Hey there, little sis."
Kobayashi looked surprised to see a handsome man in front of her door. Someone she knew well.
"Kevo?!" She said, shocked.
"Whoops, maybe I should call you my little bro instead?" Her older brother smirked.
"Keep doing that and I'll never let you in." She warned him.
"Alright, alright," Kevo said, rising his hands in defense.
"Still, it's too much to ask for a hug?" He asked.
Kobayashi sighs before smiling. She nodded and the siblings shared a hug between them. She then let him in, reminding him to take off his shoes. Kevo looks around, surprised.
"Whoa, still have those maid things?" He said.
"My passion for maids never died, Kevo," Kobayashi told him.
"I see that. Still, I'm surprised you move to a bigger apartment." Kevo said, looking around some more.
"I'm not living alone anymore. I have some friends staying with me." Kobayashi said.
"Really? Mom told me about them. Where are they?" Kevo asked.
"Tohru went to grab something, and Kanna and Ilulu are at a friend's house for a while," Kobayashi said.
"Who's Ilulu?" Kevo said, having not heard of her.
"Oh, right. I forget to mention I took in another girl after the rough life she had. Different from Kanna, but I'm doing my best to help her." Kobayashi said.
"Wow, sounds like you're becoming more of a mother by the minute," Kevo said, surprised.
Kobayashi sighs. She still thought she wasn't old enough to be a mother, but she couldn't lie in saying that Kanna and Ilulu feel like her daughters even if they were dragons.
"So, what's going on with you?" Kobayashi asked.
"Ah, that's right. I came to tell you that I finally pop the question to my girlfriend. She said yes." He said, surprising her.
"Wow, that's great. Who is it?" Kobayashi asked, surprised.
"Mela," Kevo said.
Kobayashi frowns as she remembers Mela. They went to High School together, and Mela would tease her about her chest each time they cross paths. Last she heard, she was working as a Japanese Model in the next town over.
"Seriously? Even after all she's done to me?" Kobayashi asked, not happy.
"Relax, she's changed. And I don't mean by looks." Kevo said.
Kobayashi sighs, not believing he would marry her high school bully. Before she could say anything, they heard the door open.
"I'm back!"
"In here, Tohru," Kobayashi said.
"Oh? Do we have a guest?" Tohru asked, trying to keep a friendly face on.
"Tohru, this is Kevo. He's my brother." Kobayashi quickly said, knowing that she was growing jealous.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Kobayashi," Tohru said, bowing.
"Please, call me Kevo. You must be Tohru. Nice to meet you." He said, bowing back.
"Tohru, where did you go?" Kobayashi asked.
"Oh, right. Remember that little Maid idea I had a few months ago?" Tohru said.
"You mean when you tried to have our friends come up with maid outfits for me to wear?" Kobayashi asked, confusing Kevo.
"I completely forgot to finish up the finishing touches," Tohru said, reaching into her bag.
"Um, what are you talking about?" Kevo asked.
"I told Tohru about the time I dressed as a maid and show it to everyone. And how you all told me I looked horrible in it." Kobayashi said, causing her brother to sweep drop.
"Right. I forgot about that." He said, looking away.
"I got Miss Kobayashi to wear mine and we took a picture," Tohru said, pulling it out.
"Here." She said, handing it to Kobayashi.
"Whoa, are those your friends?" Kevo asked, surprised.
"They're mostly Tohru's friends, but yeah, they're friends of mine too," Kobayashi said, nodding.
"Huh? Is that you?" Kevo said, seeing his sister in a maid outfit.
"Yeah. Everyone said I look good in it." Kobayashi smiles.
"Well...I mean..." Kevo said, looking at the picture.
It's not that he hated his sister's passion for maids. Try as he might, he just couldn't picture her looking like a maid. He didn't know why.
"Kevo, you not going to say I look horrible are you?" Kobayashi asked.
"Look, I'm not against it. I just can't picture you as a maid. It's just so weird to me. I mean, a lot of people mistake you for a guy after all." Kevo said, trying to be honest.
"I think Miss Kobayashi looks really pretty as a maid!" Tohru said, lovely.
"Thanks, Tohru," Kobayashi said, smiling.
"Look, I'm sorry about what we said earlier. I'm sorry for how everyone treated you as well. I should have been a better brother." Kevo said.
"Kevo. I never hated you for what you did. But I still can't believe you're marrying that woman." Kobayashi said, sighing.
"Married? Someone is getting married?" Tohru asked.
"I am. Mom told me where Melio lived, and I came to tell her." Kevo said, not seeing his sister flinch at her first name.
"Well, congrats," Tohru said.
Kobayashi sighs. She didn't have a good feeling about the wedding.
Later that night,
"You're brother is getting married?" Ilulu asked, surprised.
"Yeah. To my old high school bully." Kobayashi said, sighing.
"High School Bully?" Kanna asked.
"A person that picks on you during High School. And it not because of my passion for Maids." Kobayashi said, looking at Ilulu's chest.
"You're brother said she changed. Do you think that's true?" Tohru asked.
"Don't know. But it's not going to make those years go away just because she's marrying my brother." Kobayashi said.
"Are you holding a grudge, Kobayashi?" Kanna asked.
"Well, not completely. It does depend on how she acts went I see her again." Kobayashi said.
"Well, he did invite us to join him for dinner tonight, wanting us to meet her," Tohru said.
"As much I as don't like her, I might as well see for myself if she has changed. And remember..." Kobayashi said.
"Don't tell them we're dragons." Tohru, Kanna, and Ilulu said.
"Right. Since Ilulu can't change her scales like you two, we need to find her a dress." Kobayashi said.
"Already got that taken care of!" Tohru smiles.
"Tohru..." Kobayashi said, not sure about it.
"Don't worry, Miss Kobayashi, I made sure that it looks good on you! Plus, I'm sure you're tired of being mistaken for a guy." Tohru said.
Kobayashi sighs. Tohru was right. She was tired of being mistaken for a guy. She hasn't worn any girl clothes in years. Maybe she'll do it for once.
"Alright. Just don't go overboard." She said, making Tohru smile.
"Ok!" She said, happy.
Later,
Kobayashi sighs as she looked at the clothes she was wearing. Tohru was true to her word and didn't go overboard. Still, it felt weird wearing these kinds of clothes again.
"Wow, I'm surprised these fit," Ilulu said, looking over her new clothes.
"You look nice, Ilulu." Kanna said.
"Thanks, you too, Kanna," Ilulu told her.
"As do you, Miss Kobayashi," Tohru smiles.
"Um, thanks. I see you chose to change as well." Kobayashi said, seeing that Tohru change out of her maid outfit.
"Well, it's for you brother. I thought I dress up for the night!" She said, smiling.
Kobayashi sighs. She wasn't sure about this, but decide to put up with it for now. Before they could step in, they heard another voice.
"Miss Kobayashi? Tohru?"
Everyone turns and Tohru growls.
"Hey, Elma," Kobayashi said, seeing the Harmony Dragon walking up to them.
"What's going on? Why are you all dressed up?" She said, looking surprised.
"My brother pay me a visit today, and he invited us to join him for dinner," Kobayashi said.
"What are you doing here?" Tohru asked her, glaring.
"Well, he invited me too. He told me that friends of Miss Kobayashi are invited too. Through, both Fafnir and Lucoa had to turn down the invite." Elma said.
"Fafnir, I understand, but why did Lucoa turn it down?" Kobayashi asked, surprised.
"Don't know," Elma said before looking at the place they were at.
"I hope they have some good food here." She said.
"I swear, you eat too much," Tohru said.
"Speaking of which. I'm sorry to ask this of you Elma, but how do you manage to keep yourself from gaining weight?" Kobayashi asked.
"Well, I know I eat a lot, but dragons do have larger stomachs than humans," Elma said, not bothered by it.
"Right. I forget about that. I heard that a lot of women were jealous that you could eat so much and still stay in shape." Kobayashi said.
"Well, I do swim from time to time. The water does feel nice every time I take a dip." Elma said.
"Right, you're a water dragon," Kobayashi said.
"Kobayashi! Let's go in." Kanna said, reminding them why they were there.
"Right. Might as well meet my old enemy." Kobayashi said.
"Enemy?" Elma asked, confused.
"It turns out that Kobayashi's brother is marrying someone that use to pick on her during her school days. Her brother said she's changed but Kobayashi isn't sure." Ilulu told her.
"Hmm, well, I'll keep an idea on her. If there's one thing I dislike, it's humans picking on others." Elma said.
"She's already under my protection," Tohru said, causing the two dragons to snare at each other.
"If you two don't stop, I'll send you both home," Kobayashi spoke up.
Tohru and Elma sigh before following Kobayashi inside.
"Hey! Over here!"
Kobayashi spotted her brother waving at them and walked over to him.
"Glad you can make it," Kevo said.
"Thanks," Kobayashi said before seeing Mela.
The young woman looked at her, clearly showing off her huge chest. Kobayashi ignores it and sighs.
"Hello, Mela." She said.
"Hello, Melio." She said, back.
"Oh, these must be the girls you took in," Kevo said, seeing Kanna and Ilulu.
"I'm Kanna," Kanna said, politely.
"I'm Ilulu," Ilulu said, bowing.
"How old are you?" Kevo asked them.
"9."
"16, give or take."
"16?! Wow, I thought you were older." Kevo said.
"I grew differently than most drag...I mean, than most people." Ilulu said, remember that they didn't know she was a dragon.
"Well, have a seat. It's on us tonight." Kevo said.
"Thanks," Kobayashi said, sitting down.
Kanna sat next to Kobayashi as Ilulu was able to get on the other side of her. Tohru felt upset that she couldn't sit next to Kobayashi, and had to share a set next to Elma.
"That's strange. I thought I invited more of your friends." Kevo said, seeing that Elma made it.
"Sorry, but Fafnir and Lucoa had to turn the offer down," Elma said.
"Huh, oh well. I send the invites for the wedding later." Kevo said.
"So, Miss Mela. We heard you were a model." Tohru said.
"Yes, indeed. It's a pretty hard life, but it helped me keep a roof over my head." Mela said.
"So, I heard that you still like Maids, Melio," Mela said.
"Yep. Even hire one." Kobayashi said.
"That's me!" Tohru said.
"You?!" Mela said, surprised.
"Yep, she takes care of the house while I'm at work," Kobayashi said.
"I even tried some of the food that Torhu made. It was very good." Kevo said.
"Thank you, anything for Miss Kobayashi's family," Tohru said.
"What about you two?" Mela asked, the young girls.
"I go to school," Kanna said.
"I work part-time at a candy shop," Ilulu said.
"A candy shop?" Kevo asked.
"It's my way to show thanks for Kobayashi saving me and letting me stay with her," Ilulu said.
"Saving you?" Kevo asked.
"Yeah, a man was trying to kill Ilulu, and I recuse her. Ilulu told me about herself and that man found us. I protected Ilulu and he hit me. That's when Tohru showed up and was able to beat the man back. Though he hit me harder than I thought and I passed out." Kobayashi said.
"We both helped her back to her place and when she woke up I asked to stay," Ilulu said.
"That's my sister," Kevo said, proud of her.
"And you?" Mela asked, Elma.
"I met Miss Kobayashi when looking for Tohru. I was a bit surprised to see her get along so well with her, and decide to see if I could do the same. I ended up going to the same job as her and she's been helping me." Elma said.
"Elma still has ways to go, but she's getting better. Though, I do wish she and Tohru would stop snaring every time they meet." Kobayashi said before noticing that they two were doing it.
"Do you two want to be sent home?" She asked, making them stop.
"Huh, I'm surprised they listen to you," Kevo said.
Kobayashi sighs and everyone made their orders. Kobayashi then had to excuse herself to use the restroom. After she was done, she started to wash her hands before noticing Mela in the mirror.
"I can't believe that you would hire a maid." She said, scoffing.
"And you don't have maids of your own?" Kobayashi asked her.
"Doesn't matter, at least I'm still better than you," Mela said.
"Yep, you still haven't changed," Kobayashi said, facing her old bully.
"Whatever, Flat-chest," Mela said, making Kobayashi shake her head.
"Still bragging about those, huh? Well, they don't bother me anymore." She said, surprising her old bully.
"HA! You were always jealous of these in school! And you'll still seem to be brother by them! I've seen how big the others were." Mela said.
"Though, unlike you, they don't go around showing them off," Kobayashi said, sighing.
Mela didn't understand it. Kobayashi would always get upset when she tease her about her bust. But it seems that she's not taking the bait this time.
"Well, then..." Mela said, walking up to her.
"Let's see how you like THIS!" She said, grabbing the shirt Kobayashi was wearing.
"Hey! Let go!" Kobayashi shouted, fighting to keep her shirt on.
Both women stopped when they heard a growl behind them. Mela turned around and saw Tohru standing at the door, trying her hardest not to transform.
"Before you jump to conclusions, Tohru, this is nothing to do with what you think," Kobayashi said.
"I know. I could sense the jealousy coming from her when we first met." Tohru said.
"And you should go back to the others like a good maid," Mela said, not letting go of Kobayashi.
"I only follow Miss Kobayashi's orders," Tohru said.
Mela looked confused before she finally pull off Kobayashi's shirt, surprising her.
"HEY!" She shouted, blushing.
"There we go! Flat-Chest." Mela said, smiling in victory.
Tohru frowns before walking up to her.
"So, think she's a good master?" Mela said, thinking that she would embarrass her more.
Tohru took the shirt back from her and gave it to Kobayashi.
"I don't care what Miss Kobayashi looks like. I love her for the way she is!" Tohru said.
"WHAT?!" Mela shouted.
"Miss Kobayashi is the kindest and cuteness person I ever met! And if you think I'm going to stand here, and let you pick on her, then you have another thing coming!" Tohru said.
"You're a maid! A servant! Why would you treat her like a person!" Mela said.
"Just because she's my master, doesn't mean I need to treat her like she's higher rank! I'm a much hanker rank than her, and I still treat her as my equal!" Tohru said.
"What are you talking about?!" Mela asked.
"Lady Tohru, Kobayashi?"
They all turned and saw Kanna by the door.
"Our food is ready." She said.
"Thanks, Kanna, we'll be right there," Tohru said as Kobayashi put her shirt back on.
Kanna nodded before leaving.
"Well, no matter. I'm still marrying your brother. And you will never be rid of me." Mela said before leaving.
"GRRRR!" Tohru growls.
Kobayashi sighs before placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks, Tohru." She said.
"You're welcome." Tohru smiles.
However, Tohru still didn't like how that human treated Miss Kobayashi. Looks like she was going to teach her a lesson.
Tohru had waited until everyone fell asleep before putting her plan into action. She knew that Miss Kobayashi wouldn't approve of this, but she wanted to do this. Knowing that Kevo was living with Mela, she use his scent to find their home. She came across a mansion before sighing.
"For Miss Kobayashi." She said before spotting a light on.
She flew up to it and saw that Mela was still awake. There was no sign of Kevo, but she was glad to see that he wasn't around. She open the window and flew in. She landed on the ground and saw Mela notices the window.
"Augh, idiots." She said, walking up to the window.
"Good evening, Miss Mela."
Mela jumps before turning around to see Tohru.
"What the?! How did you get in here?!" She asked, shocked.
"I'm here to give you a warning," Tohru said, not moving.
"Get out!" Mela said.
"You are to leave Miss Kobayashi alone and treat her kindly," Tohru said.
"And why should I? She's a freak! She not even real woman." Mela said.
"I don't care about that. Miss Kobayashi save my life, and there's no denying how I feel about her. But I can tell that you don't care about her." Tohru said.
"Her brother is a hunk, I'll give her that. But Melio is clearly nothing like me! She's a flat-chest girl that dresses like a man! How can you accept a weirdo like that?!" Mela said.
"How? Because Miss Kobayashi isn't a freak. She even made friends with many dragons." Tohru said.
"Dragons?! Please, they're nothing more than a myth." Mela said, scoffing.
"Maybe in this world..." Tohru said, letting her wings and tail appear.
Mela looked surprised before Tohru grabbed her.
"How about we take this outside?!" She said, pushing her out the window.
Mela couldn't scream before Tohru jump out and grabbed her. She flew far away from the city before stopping at the mountains. The same mountains where Tohru and Kobayashi first met.
She then turn to Mela, who looked upset.
"What are you doing?! Take me back home!" She shouted.
"Shut up, human," Tohru said, surprising her.
"How dare you!" Mela started.
"I said shut up," Tohru said, letting a bit of magic out.
Mela felt a powerful gust of wind before seeing a strange symbol appear. She was then shocked to see Tohru transform into a real-life Dragon!
"AHHHHHHHHH!" She screams before Tohru stomps the ground.
"Enough." She said, growling.
Mela fell back, scared out of her wits.
"You will treat Miss Kobayashi like a normal person, or you will find yourself as my snack. Do I make myself clear?!" Tohru said.
Mela just stared in shock and fear, unable to answer.
"I said, do I make myself CLEAR?!" Tohru roars.
"Y-y-yes." Mela squeaks, peeing herself.
"Good. And you will tell no one about this. If you do, I will find out, and I will eat you. And you better treat Miss Kobayashi's brother with respect as well!" Tohru said before transforming back into her human form.
"I'll take you back home, but you better keep your word," Tohru said, making the model nod in fear.
'Sorry, Miss Kobayashi. I couldn't let her get away with this.' Tohru thought before grabbing Mela's arm and flew back to her mansion.
Okay, what started with Kobayashi's brother coming over kind of turned into another idea I had. Sorry about that. Couldn't stop myself.
Anyways, the new family member they will meet is Kobayashi's older sister. And I thought of a few more Family members. Cousin and Grandparents. I'm having a trouble of trouble thinking of the sister. I don't mind any help.
