Author's Note: Time for a new pairing! Enjoy the story and R&R.

Pairing: Developing Yuhi x Chupataro.
Summary:
There are some forms of alien activity even MIK turns a blind eye to. The truly alien activity between Chupataro and Ohdo Yuhi, for instance.
Chapter 137: Galactica Amnesia
The sensation of something being stirred around and around stirred in the center of Yuhi's back.
He wondered if he was still asleep. If he was still dreaming. Except he forgot what he'd been dreaming about. His pillow was so soft, it was a challenge not to want to keep sleeping, but…
"IT'S TIME TO RISE AND SHINE!"
At his sister's unpleasant, draconian (harsh and dragon-like) wake-up call, Yuhi yelped and leapt up off his bed. "Y-Yuamu? What the heccck?"
"Get dressed, Yuhi! The early bird catches the worm! We have a request to fill!"
"HUH? But today's a school day!"
"Have you been sleeping so much, you've lost all track of time? It's Sunday, and that means it's time to go out and look for aliens!"
Yuhi drilled his nose back into the security of his pillow. "Darn! I'm not in the mood for chasin' down the Fresno Nightcrawler!"
"If I ran this business according to your moods, we'd be broke! Thankfully, I don't! I'm a smarter businesswoman than that!"
"I agree. And because you're a smart businesswoman, you probably don't want me in the way of your operation. Don't let me dull your enthusiasm though. I'll just continue my power nap, President!" Yuhi covered his head with the covers and waved her away from under them.
"Reverse psychology won't do you any good. Are you after a demotion? I'll give you till the count of ten before I find Zomyoji-san and order him to pry you out with his wrench! One –!"
"U…UTS! I'm up! I'm up! Was pullin' me outta bed that urgent ya had to tell me to rise and shine like you're summoning Blue-Tooth Burst Dragon? For all we know, the Fresno Nightcrawler isn't real and is a white pair of pants left waggin' on a clothesline!"
"Real or a hoax, it doesn't matter so long as we're paid. UTS never turns down a job."
"Unless it doesn't pay well."
"Yes, unless it doesn't pay well. But this job does! The customer wants these armless, walking pants gone from her street, and that's what we're going to do! Now move it!"
"Can't we turn over the leggings of the Yameluna costume Purisaki-san made and claim they're the Fresno Nightcrawler?"
"Quit stalling, Yuhi! Get to it! We can't have MIK muscling in on our territory!"
"Umm…Ain't it us who're doin' MIK's work for them?"
"Zomyoji-san!"
"All right, all right, I'm on it! Alien ghost pants, here I come!"
Yuamu crossed her arms smugly.
Yuhi changed out of his pajamas, crammed a bread roll in his mouth, and boarded his hoverboard, retractable net at the ready. While pursuing the pings of his alien tracker – the handheld, not his hair – he sped past a chupacabra passing for a human, riding an electric scooter.
…
Chupataro loitered in the doorway, told by the waitress the takeout was coming. As much as he loathed Atachi Manya's manners (or lack thereof), she wouldn't eat just anything in Mutsuba Town, preferring to patronize (and in some instances, act patronizing to) a small set of Manya-approved restaurants. She could therefore be depended upon to call in a routine number of times per week, ensuring the flow of cash into his savings stayed steady.
All the money he saved went towards more Meeeg-chan. Merchandise, events, endless copies of her card…He'd saved up a ton of change to help support his favourite magical sheep girl!
A meet-and-greet for lovers of Meeeg-chan? He was so there!
Meeeg-chan and the Ewekai Ranch Jamboree coming out with a singalong tape? Baa-dum, baa-dum, baa-dum, baa-dum, baaaaa-dum! He was in line to buy first thing!
It was a cinch when he only had himself to look after. And he never allowed anyone to tell him different. One more card for his wallet or his wall of pocket pages was never one too many. If he filled nine pockets, he flipped the page over. And if he filled eighteen, he started a new sheet.
You weren't a card-carrying Meeeg-chan fan…You couldn't call yourself a member of the flock unless you lived and breathed everything Meeeg-chan.
The waitress bagged Manya's food. "Thank you very much!"
"See you Tuesday, cabra!"
"Until then!"
Chupataro returned to where he was parked on the curb, clicked his bike helmet's chin strap beneath his chin, and boarded his scooter, Manya's lunch hanging in the delivery box behind the seat. While making tracks to Mutsuba Cable TV, he sped past a boy with a telescopic net, riding a hoverboard.
Neither reacted to the other. They were on the same road, but were off in opposite directions.
A love that cannot be heard.
A love that cannot be seen.
Like two spaceships passing in the night.
…
Kaizo charged Zaidavelgear's cannon.
"Is he trying to destroy the control system?"
"Fly away, Yuhi! Valvelgear, full speed ahead!"
"Don't do this, Yuga!"
The Rush Duel Robot retaliated…
"No way!"
…punching Zuwijo's ship and Yuga into a tailspin.
The sensation of something being stirred around and around stirred in the center of Yuhi's back.
He wondered if he was still asleep. If he was still dreaming. Except he forgot what he'd been dreaming about. His pillow was so soft, it was a challenge not to want to keep sleeping, but…
Huh? What's that?
Someone's finger (no, a claw), swirling on his back.
Who's there?
Someone's teeth, biting softly into the tender space between his neck and shoulder.
"Good morning, chupa."
Chupa…taro.
His bed. His bed at UTS.
"It would've been a good morning if ya didn't wake me up!"
"Sorry, chupa."
Yuhi rolled his body lazily over Chupataro's, mindful of Chupataro's spikes. "You're a sight for sore eyes."
"Chupa?"
"Nothing. I was just…When I see ya, I feel reassured. Or should I say happy. Every morning that I get to see ya, it's a good morning."
He was waiting for Yuamu to shout "IT'S TIME TO RISE AND SHINE!" and kill the magic. Only, her wake-up call never came.
He forgot. His sister was still missing.
He forgot. His sister.
