BNA season 2 (Brand New Animal)

Part fifteen

Epilogue

Author's POV

When they got back to AnimaCity, Michiru and Shirou were both greeted by the mayor and Nazuna. "I'm so happy you're safe!" Nazuna said, throwing her arms around Michiru. Michiru chuckled and returned the gesture, "Thanks, but Shirou was the one who got captured. You should give him a really big hug, he's a hugger." Nazuna was subconsciously going to do it, but quickly snapped out of it once Shirou gave her the I-dare-you look. "Uhm... maybe later, Michiru." She said with a smile, then went back to the mayor's side. "It's good to see you back here, Oogami. Are you alright?" Mayor Rose asked, Shirou nodded and glanced down at Michiru. "I'm alright, thanks to Michiru." Nazuna and the mayor watched as Shirou and Michiru stared lovingly into one another's eyes, only being interrupted when Nazuna asked, "Are you two... together now?" They both answered yes at the exact same time before bursting into laugher, causing Nazuna and the mayor to do the same. "Well, you two should head on back to the co-op. Mrs. Melissa and Mr. Jem were very worried about you two. Tomorrow, you and I have a lot to talk about, Oogami." Mayor Rose said and they nodded before heading to the co-op.

"Oh thank goodness, you two are alright!" Melissa said hugging Michiru and Shirou, Jem just gave them a warm smile. "Yes, the mayor told us what happened. I hope the two of you didn't get hurt," he said in relief, just then Michiru's mother came downstairs. "Michiru!" After seeing her daughter, Misato practically flew down the remaining stairs to engulf her in a happy-hug. "Uh...Mom... I can't... breathe." Michiru glared at Shirou, who was chuckling at her situation. Misato released Michiru, but immediately scolded her about not telling where she was going and driving with strangers to a place full of danger. "You could've been killed, Michiru Kagemori! I thought you learned your lesson last time you ran away to AnimaCity without telling us, you need to stop doing this to my poor fragile heart!" Misato placed her hand on the left side of her chest, near her heart, to give a more dramatic effect. Michiru just rolled her eyes at her before giving her a calming hug. "Just relax mom, I wasn't with a stranger and I wasn't in danger. Fang is Shirou's mom, and I'm older and stronger now. I can take care of myself , you know." Misato calmed down and sighed before smiling at her daughter, "I know, I guess I still see you as little girl who wore braces in high school and had pigtails. "Mom!" Michiru yelled at her mom, her face red as a tomato, "Not in front of everyone!" Everyone laughed together while Michiru wished the ground would swallow her whole. Shirou only chuckled before speaking up, "I think Michiru and I will be in our rooms, we had a pretty eventful day." Michiru immediately agreed before taking Shirou's arm and dragging him upstairs, leaving a cloud of dust in her tracks.

Shirou's POV

Michiru took us all the way to my room, when we entered Kuro flew towards us and cawed in joy to see us back. "Glad to see you missed us, Kuro." I said, rubbing his beak with my finger. "Hey, thanks for rescuing me back there. My mom tends to bring up all my embossing moments by accident." Michiru said, she knew I did it to safe her but I decided to tease her a little. "I haven't got the slightest idea of what you're talking about. I needed to get some rest and I assumed you needed it too, but hey, you're welcome." I was fighting very hard against laughing at her expression, she had her eyes narrowed and that cute tanuki nose pulled back in between her eyes. "Excuse me? And here I thought you actually cared about me," she tried to sound angry, but ended up smiling at the end. "But I guess we should take a break, I'll see you at dinner then?" I nodded and she smiled before heading to her room. I stayed on one spot after she left, not sure what to do with myself. Kuro cawed questioningly, as if asking me what's wrong. I watched as he came over and landed on my shoulder, getting nice and comfortable. I smiled, patting his head and heading towards my closet. "Well Kuro, I think I'll go take a shower. After all, I haven't had one in a few days, and you know wolves hate being dirty." He looked at me for a second before cawing excitedly, agreeing with my statement. Then he flew out the window, leaving me all alone. 'I guess he hasn't left since I got captured.' I just shook my head amused, before grabbing some clean clothes and leaving the room to go take a nice warm shower.
