BNA season 2 (Brand New Animal)

Part five

Stormy weather

Author's POV

The next day Shirou went to the mayor's office and Michiru went shopping with the entire female armada. That included Nazuna, Savanna, Melissa, Nina and Talon. They were all going shopping for outfits to wear to the festival, which all the males found completely ridiculous. They couldn't understand the reason for all this drama over one festival, it wasn't like they needed to make a statement or anything. But it seemed that the girls had other plans, they even said that they were going to get outfits for the men to wear as well. Since they weren't shopping with them, each girls decided that they would get their better half something suitable to wear for the festival. Melissa would get something for Jem, Michiru would get something for Shirou, Savanna and Nazuna would get something for Savage and Talon would get something for Pinga.

Michiru never told Nazuna that Savage was at the co-op, so imagine her expression when she saw the handsome man she was drooling over a few days ago. She took Michiru to another room and started scolding her for not telling her that Savage was staying at the co-op. Michiru just laughed, "Nazuna, I didn't know he was coming to stay with us. He and Savanna arrived only two days ago and even so, it still isn't a big deal. If you really like him, then you should tell him." Nazuna was speechless for a few seconds trying to find the right words when she suddenly smirked, "That goes the same for you too, you need to tell that wolf your feelings first." Michiru's jaw dropped and she glared at Nazuna. "Not this again, Nazuna, I don't like Shirou in that way. He's just a very close friend." Nazuna just waved it off and crossed her arms, "Sure, tell me that when you two walk down the aisle." Michiru was opening and closing her mouth like a fish gasping for air when Nazuna left. Michiru ran after her but saw Nazuna quickly run out the door, just in time before Savage came downstairs with his eyes on his phone. Michiru just smiled and shook her head, 'And all those lessons she gave me about boys and how to flirt.' She thought to herself. Just then Shirou came from behind him with Savanna by his side, for some reason it made Michiru angry to see Savanna and Shirou so close together. But she ignored it and pretended that it didn't bother her, Savanna looked over in her direction and smiled at Michiru. "Morning Michiru." She greeted and Michiru greeted her back. Shirou went to sit at the breakfast table when Melissa entered with the eggs, bacon, toast and coffee. She had enough to feed a tiny army, Savage decided to help her set the table and in a few minutes everything was set for breakfast. Then there was a knock on the door, Jem went over and opened the door. "Good morning Mr Pinga, fancy to see you're in town. Are you visiting?" He greeted and Pinga entered the room, he smiled politely and greeted him before greeting everyone. "Good morning Jem. And well you see, I was passing through and decided to stay for the festival. I hope you don't mind that I decided to pay a visit?" Melissa came over to him and held his hand in a form of greeting. "Not at all, you're just in time for breakfast." She invited him to the table and he happily accepted, "Hello everyone." He greeted everyone in the room and his eyes lit up when he saw Talon smiling in the corner, she just rolled her eyes at him and made her way to the table.

Everyone was now sitting at the table and eating breakfast, Shirou and Michiru sat in silence and listened to the different conversations everyone were having. Savage was talking with Savanna about the concert and what they wanted to sing. Jem and Melissa were also discussing the festival and how excited they were for it. There was some sort of argument going down between Talon and Pinga, it would appear Talon didn't seem to like Pinga very much. Shirou looked unimpressed by all this while Michiru found it quite interesting to see everyone having a good time. Just then Nazuna returned, "Hey everyone, look who I found." She said and Nina came in behind her. "I hope you don't mind, but I have nothing to wear to the festival." Nina said, hinting that she wanted to join them in shopping. "Of course, you can join us if you'd like." Michiru said and Nina jumped for joy, she was so excited that she transformed into her dolphin form. Everyone was nice and welcoming to Nina, whilst Shirou just rolled his eyes and continued eating. He didn't seem to be in a good mood for some reason.
