-In the next following day in school, as Kei was with Mea, Run and Nana on the roof while Yami and Momo was in the library as the two girls were chatting in private-
Yami: Princess Momo.
Momo: Hmm?
Yami: There is a dark presence in this city and it has the intention to kill someone.
Momo: So you feel it too, huh? I can only assume it is another Alien or it is a bounty hunter.
Yami: I think so too. Though I cannot comprehend the abilities of this foe, it could be far more stronger than us.
Momo: We can handle it. We just need to worry about Kei-san's safety, since he attracts a lot of trouble like Rito-san. -Rito and Yui came into the library and saw Yami and Momo as they were passing by-
Rito: Momo, Yami. What's up?
Momo: We're just going through some books.
Yui: You better not be planning on doing something shameless, right?
Momo: Me~? No~ You're misunderstanding~
Yui: Really now?
Momo: Of course~ We're just organising and looking through some books~ Isn't that right, Yami-san?
Yami: Yes.
Yui: Okay then..?
Rito: Kotegawa, you gotta give them some slack.
Yui: I-I am!
-As Rito and Yui left, Momo sighed in relief as she and Yami then left the library to find Kei and the others on the roof but saw no one was there, until they returned back to their classes and saw that Kei was at the back of the class with Mea and Nana, the school bell rang as it was time for their next class. Everyone went back to their seats and took out their books, preparing for their next class. Hours passed as school was over, Momo and Nana headed back home with Lala, Rito & Celine while Kei went over to Mikan's school to pick her up. As Kei was waiting outside of Mikan's school gate, some of the students that were walking out were surprised to see Kei while most of the girls were blushing at the sight of Kei and were happy to see him again, though as soon as Mikan walked out of the school entrance, she looked ahead and saw Kei as she was surprised to see him-
Mikan: Kei-kun? Why are you here?
Kei: To pick you up.
Mikan: Eh? D-Did I ask you to pick me up last night?
Kei: No.
Mikan: So you're just here to pick me..Up?
Kei: Yes. -Mikan blushed slightly as Kei picked up Mikan without having her to ask him to do so as she thought of how considerate he was, she would then grab onto his sleeves as she blushed with a smile on her face as the two walked back home-
Mikan: Kei-kun? I have a question.
Kei: What?
Mikan: When Momo-san, Rito and the others leave what will you do?
Kei: I...Will stay here. With you. -Mikan blushed madly from what Kei had said as she looked up at him with a smile on her face-
Mikan: Kei-kun? How long can Xenomorphs live?
Kei: We grow 20 times faster than Humans when we are born from Chestbursters, since it'll take us 2-4 days for a hatchling to become a full grown Xenomorph. Though we can live up to 80 years. Maximum.
Mikan: Not as long as Humans, huh?
Kei: We can still die of old age if our body stops functioning. I also do not have any homework for tonight, let's play games tonight.
Mikan: Oh! Lucky! I don't have homework too!
-Kei and Mikan chatted and laughed together as they walked back home together and as soon as they got back home, the two would prepare dinner immediately and have dinner with everyone else. As time passed on, everyone took their baths, one by one while Momo went out to meet Yami at a nearby park. Momo had worn her Devilukean dress that she wore when she first arrived to Earth, as soon as she got to the park, she jumped back quickly as she was attacked by Yami's hair-
Momo: Y-Yami-san?!
Yami: Purge. Kill. Eradicate. -Her eyes were glowing blue as her body movement was different than usual as Momo noticed two insect-like bracelets on Yami's arms-
Momo: Kermaz bracelets?! H-How did they get this far into the system?
-In the Yuuki household as Nana and Lala were in the living room with Kei, Rito and Mikan-
Nana: This is odd..
Rito: What's wrong?
Nana: The Kermaz bracelets are not in my virtual world.
Rito: Bracelets? Why would you keep bracelets there?
Lala: No no~ Rito! They aren't bracelets.
Rito: Eh? But she just said-
Nana: They control hosts by wrapping around the hands of anything they wish and turn themselves into something like a bracelet, they are meant for mind controlling and infiltration, though I keep them in the virtual world because there are only 2 that I can control.
Rito: Are they that dangerous?
Nana: They're small and physically weak but they are fast and a little gross looking.
Rito: What do they look like?
Lala: Centipedes!
Rito: Oh. OH! Ugh! Centipedes..
Nana: If they're not in the virtual world, they're somewhere in the house or are missing. I just don't want them to die since they are so rare..
Rito: Do they kill?
Lala: Once they take control of a host, they can kill anyone they want but only if they know that their host is capable of killing and has great physical strengths and abilities.
Rito: So if the host were to be someone like...Yami or Kei-san..
Nana: We'll be dead by now. Though you can't really sense them or hear them even if they are right next to you, they are freakishly quiet after all.
Rito: W-We better find them quick before someone gets-
Kei: I'm already on it.
Nana: What?
Kei: I've sent out a few Xenomorphs from the sewers to search and bring them back here alive. The rest of us will search the house here. -He said as he was playing the console game with Mikan-
Nana: How did you-
Kei: I heard everything you just said- Ah.. -He stopped talking and was surprised to see that he lost his match in Street Fighter against Mikan- I lost..
Mikan: Yes! Kei-kun's first lost~!
Kei: O-One more time!
Mikan: Huhu~ Don't blame me if Chun-li beats your butt again~
Kei: We shall see!
Rito: L-Let's find this thing while we can and let these 2 have their fun..
Lala: Yeah!
Kei: -He thought to himself as he can tell that Yami and Momo are in danger right now- "Momo, Yami. You both better be all right.."
-In the park as Momo was dodging each of Yami's attacks as she was being attacked too aggressively to fight back-
Momo: Tsk! That annoying hair of hers is not giving me an opportunity to fight back. Eh? -Without realising, she was about to get hit by one of Yami's hair as it formed into a fist but in a blink of an eye, she was not hurt as she looked in front of her and saw that there were 2 Xenomorph Warriors, pushing back the fist- X-Xenomorphs? K-Kei-san is here?!
-Another golden hair formed fist attacked from the other side as two more Xenomorph Warriors got in front of Momo and protected her the attack as the forcefully pushed the fist back slowly. Momo saw an opening as she quickly took out her phone and spammed on a few buttons as large purple flowers appeared behind Momo as they had cannons on the center of the flowers-
Momo: Flower Cannon. Have not used them in a long time. -The flowers fired multiple bullets of seeds towards Yami as the whole area was covered by dust and smoke but as soon as it was cleared, Yami was still intact as she protected herself with her bare hands- What?! Oh.. Never mind then.. -Three more Xenomorphs appeared behind Yami as two grabbed both of Yami's arms and legs while the other grabbed the bracelets and took them off of her quickly, as soon as they were off of Yami's hands, she would faint as everything went back to normal- I'm not gonna hold that disgusting thing! L-Let's just head back home and we'll let Yami-san stay overnight.. -The Aliens nodded as one of them carried the bracelets while the other was carrying Yami in its arm while they followed Momo back home- I'm home~
Rito: Oh hey, welcome back- W-WHAT THE HELL?! W-Why are there Xenomorphs behind you?!
Momo: They uh...They helped me out while I was in a pinch. Yami-san will be staying over too.
Rito: A-All right..?
Momo: Nana. Your bracelets..
Nana: Aha! There they are, thanks. How did they get out anyway?
Lala: Pass your phone to me and I'll fix it later.
Nana: Thanks. -She said as she took the bracelets and absorbed them into the virtual world as Rito carried Yami and set her down on the couch as the Xenomorphs then left- So what happened?
Momo: Yami-san was controlled...By your things..
Nana: W-Whoops..Is she all right?
Momo: For now, yes. She just needs to rest.
Rito: At least you two are fine, Kei-san said that he sent out a few Xenomorphs to find that bracelets while we search the house, I assume that he knew that you were with Yami and that the bracelets are somewhere close to where you are?
Momo: R-Really? Kei-san did all of that..?
Mikan: Yes! I win again! Hehe~! Kei-kun, you owe me pudding now~
Kei: To think...I'd lose 10 matches in a row..T-This isn't over, Mikan.
Mikan: It's over to me~ -She said as the two got close to each other and stared into each others eyes as Mikan had a smug on her face while Kei seemed somewhat irritate, Mikan would then smirk softly as Kei would then use his tail and poke Mikan's sides and tickled her- Ahahaha! N-No! Wait! Don't! It tickles!
Kei: I am unamused by this turn of events!
Mikan: Oh you're gonna get it! -She said loudly as she laughed and pushed Kei back and sat on top of him and tickled him as the two laughed while the others watched-
Rito: I-I'll bring Yami to my room or something, it's more peaceful there.
Momo: T-That...Might be a good idea.
Nana: Hell no! She's gonna be staying in my room, who knows what you might do to her! You shameless ape!
Rito: I-I wouldn't go that far..
Lala: Nana! Don't be rude to Rito! You know that he will only do those lewd acts to us and not Yami!
Rito: Oi. You're not making the situation any better..
Nana: That's why Yami should be in my room! -She said as she quickly carried Yami on her back and went upstairs as Lala and Peke helped Nana-
Rito: -He would sigh softly as he seemed exhausted- I swear..This house..Hmm? Momo? -Rito was looking at Momo as his eyes widened slightly at the sight of Momo's depressed look as he noticed that she was staring at both Mikan and Kei who are playing and laughing together innocently. Momo turned to the side and walked passed Rito as she went upstairs and clicked on a few buttons and teleported into her room as Rito watched her from behind- Momo..I get it now. -Rito then thought to himself as he looked at Mikan and Kei- "You like-No..You love Kei-san, huh? Must be hard to let go of him, especially when you need to leave soon. I'll try to help you out if I can. After all, you deserve to be with someone who you really want to be with." -Rito thought to himself as he smiled slightly as he looked at Mikan and Kei as the two were chatting happily and were playing their games as Mikan was teasing Kei- Though.. They seem to like each other. -He mumbled to himself as he turned and went upstairs to his room-
