An identity yet to be revealed (Itto x gorou)

Greeting <3

I'll make this cute btw <33

I was heading to Inazuma City on A boat, Im not gonna lie i was pretty nervous when i heard not only Am i gonna be doing a announcement but also A meet & greet.. As i was fidgeting with my hands and thinking about all of it, I was already at the port of Inazuma City.. I quickly walked fast still not thinking about my surroundings.

Though i stopped at the sound of my stomach grumbling, I was stressing about it too much i guess i started to feel pretty hungry.. Though i can go without food for a few days, I am an Army general, Her excelle- Kokomi. Has told me to maintain my health nowadays now that the war is over, So i guess i'll get A quick snack too..

I was wearing a black long hood that hid my ears and tail, I wore it just because i didnt want some rando to pet me without my Consent, But i was still rummaging through the crowds of people, I wasnt really paying attention again to my surroundings.
And- "HmpFMPH-!?" — "Eh?-" I looked up to see A guy with Red horns.. White hair and some markings on his body Though i turned a bright red as i accidentally Bumped into his chest "Oh my god- I am so sorry i wasnt paying attention and-" A loud laugh came from him "Dont worry little guy! Its nothing the Great Arataki Itto cant handle! Oh hey- Wait a minute.. I've never seen you around here.. Are you new here or something? Oh! Oh! If you are let me introduce myself again! Ahem-! Hello! I am Arataki Numero Uno itto! At your service!! And you are?" I was a bit taken back by the sudden introduction.. But i didnt want to seem rude.

"..Gorou" —- "Hm? What was that?" —- "... My name is Gorou.." —- "Thats a pretty cute name Gorou!" I was a bit embarrased by the compliment.. "Oh hey why're you wearing this long shady hood? It makes you look suspicious why arent you taking it off?" —- "Thats- Too many questions Arataki" — "Awe come on! Tell me pleaseee!" He was practically kneeling. It was a bit annoying since we had a height difference, It it seemed like he would rant about it if i didnt do anything "Ugh.. Oh fine, But your gonna have to get me some food if i do this." —- "No worries! I will gladly do that for you Gorou!" I took of my hood a bit shaken about what he would think about it, I didnt know what to expect. "WOAH! Your a dog!? THATS AWESOME!! Your ears are so cute!!"

Without a warning he started petting my head I was a bit upset he didnt ask for my consent.. although i wouldnt complain i didnt like it "Hey.. Itto can you sto-" I whimpered, Out of all the worst times to happen! I think he got the hint to stop though.. "Oh my god! I am so sorry for not asking!! Here- I'll treat you today my guy, And i will gladfully escort you to wherever your going!" I was happy at these words, I was practically starving, My tail wagged slightly and for my surprise he noticed it "WHAT?? YOU HAVE A TAIL TOO?? Oh! Sorry my bad.. Its a first seeing someone have a tail! I've only seen that Fox lady and she doesnt have one, Guuji Yae is her name probably? Anyways! Where you headed pup?"

He already gave me a nickname? Thats a bit absurd.. I dont really mind though, It doesnt bother me much.. Its a bit strange though, I usually want to tell them to stop cause im usually uncomfortable with nicknames, Hm, Should probably not think much to it "Im heading to the Inn a bit farther from here, Thats where im staying for a while, the place seems a bit crowded though, Cant seem to see which building im supposed to meet-" Arataki picked me up and put me on his shoulders!- "Hehe! Can ya see it now pup?" And im not gonna lie, I did see the person i was gonna meet up with, Fortunately.

"Ah er, Thank you Arataki, But uh could you get me down?" —- "Alright! And- Plop! Here ya go pup!" As i was about to walk away, He grabbed my hand "Hey! Didnt i say i was gonna escort you? Besides you said you were hungry right? Lets go get something to eat!" I was a bit embarrased if i had to say... "Alright sure but lets make it quick.."

We headed to a food stall known for its "milk dango" It was advertised by the Shogun herself so its more popular then it was i heard, Besides i had a huge sweet tooth.. So i was pretty excited to see what it tastes like! "Hey we'd like some uh.. Whats ur most top selling thing here?" —- "Ah here its been advertised from the Shogun herself, Its called Milk Dango, Would you like some?" —- "Yea sure! Hey pup you dont mind havin something sweet right?" My tail gave it away on spot, I still answered though, I couldnt always rely on my tail could i?

"Ah sure, I dont really mind, Sweets are a favorite of mine" He chuckled "I could've probably guessed! Your tail was swinging from left to right Haha!" I was a bit flustered even though i knew it was coming.

After we payed, We sat on a bench nearby the stall I took of my hood as it had no usage anymore, It was also sunset, The breeze was pretty nice, We were both comfortably sitting in silence while drinking our dango milks, It didnt fill my stomach but atleast i actually had something today, It was nice "Hey Arataki-" —- "You can call me itto pup!" — " Ah well erm.. Itto, Its been nice meeting you but its about time i go to the inn now" —- "Hm? Haha! Did you forget? Im still escorting you! If your in such a rush then we better start moving!" He stood up and picked me up, He placed me on his shoulders and started sprinting "AH! Itto slow down!" My hood flew off while he was sprinting, I didnt really think much to get it

It was pretty fun, I chuckled as he almost tripped both of us while he ran, "This is nice" —- "Hm? What was that pup?" — "Oh nothing big guy" He chuckled aswell, We both arrived at the inn as the person i was supposed to be meeting looked a bit irritated
at the sight "Your late." She said, "Oh uh- Yae.. Im sorry i was just a bit caught up with some stuff and-" — "I could see. Hello again Itto"

"Ohh hey fox lady! Whats up?" —"Energetic as always hm? But no matter, I have some business to talk with our dear Gorou, Do you mind standing by?" —- "No problemo! I'll wait over there while you guys talk about stuff! And hey, You didnt tell me you knew Yae Miko pup!"

"Pup?" I got red when i realized it.. My hood was blown away while Itto was carrying me, So i basically had to hide my face.. It was an Embarrassing sight. "Yea! Its a nickname! Gorou here seems to like it!" —- "So does he?.. Anyways, Regarding the thing We have to discuss, You can go wait over there" —- "Oh! I forgot i have an Onikabuto battle i was supposed to attend an hour ago! Sorry pup i'll see you tommorow! Cant miss this fight" —- "No worries Itto you can go ahead, I'll see you tommorow bye!" —- "Bye!!!" He ran off, As soon as Itto was gone from sight Yae stared daggers at me

"Hohoho~? And i thought our little General wasnt capable of love.. You proved me wrong "pup" —- "Dont call me that. And besides we only just met today.. You shouldnt make assumptions!" —- "Hm alright alright, Now lets get to work. Follow me" As she said this, She was walking inside the building i was staying, It was a pretty normal Inn, Fitting my expectations, She lead me to the room i was staying at, It was on the 2nd floor with a pretty good view from the city "You'll be staying here for atleast 2 weeks from now from the meet & greet, As for the announcement i'll have you carry that out tommorow, The sun has already set, And it seems to me you've found a new friend, Good for you Gorou"

I silently scowled she left the room and i sighed, I changed my clothes and such to go to bed, i was exhausted "I hope i get to meet Itto again, He seems like a good guy." As i fell asleep hugging my tail I was half excited for what events would be happening tommorow.
