Just a Plain Tanuki Roaming the Streets

Part 1

(Art is not mine)

Third POV,

    Michiru Kagemori is the tanuki girl of the town. She had helped Shirou Ogami, who happened to be the Silver Wolf, with protecting Anima City. Ever since the incident with Alan Sylvasta, Michiru hadn't really been sleeping, though she wasn't going to tell anyone this. She refused to sleep after her nightmare had first appeared. She was scared of thinking about what could have happened if she hadn't stopped Shirou from tearing apart Alan's lab. Though, she knew even if she did sleep, she would feel too relaxed. Michiru was scared that if she fell asleep, Alan would come back to hurt either Shirou or the city. Michiru hadn't cared about herself ever since. Too scared that she would wake up to find the City destroyed or Shirou dead, though she knew he was immortal.

     Michiru had never really bothered anyone else about her emotions. She had only cared about what other people think. Michiru had thought about running away from Anima City, thinking it would help her clear her head. That was if she ever decided to come back without feeling any guilt. Michiru knew that if she left, her friends would end up looking for her. Shirou would have tracked down her scent anyways as well. So, that plan was out of the box. Now, today Michiru had asked Mayor Rose if she could have a break for a while. Even though the Mayor had agreed, Michiru felt as if she wouldn't get to have her break at all. Not with the feeling of someone watching her at least. She wanted to find out if anyone was really watching her or, if it was her imagination messing with her. Michiru wanted to go see her parents but, she knows they wouldn't like who she is now. They never seemed to like Beastman ever since she was born, though Michiru hadn't known why, she wanted to ask.

     Michiru decided to stop thinking about that today and try to relax. But, alas, she could never get a break as a knock sounded throughout the room. Michiru got up from her spot and opened her door. There stood Shirou in his almighty beastman form. He stared at her for a moment before speaking.

"Mayor Rose wants to talk to us, meet me at the front door," he had said before walking away.

     Sighing, Michiru closed the door and changed her clothes, as she had been wearing her nightwear. As soon as she had changed clothes she headed for the front door of the Co-op. Once there Michiru saw Shirou waiting there for her. She walked over and tapped his shoulder.

"Ready to go?" Michiru asked the wolf beastman, earning a nod in return.

     And with that, they were off to see Mayor Rose. Along the way they got a couple stares. I mean, who wouldn't stare at the two of them. In public they looked like they were a weird couple. Michiru as the energetic girlfriend and Shirou as the depressed, tired, and emo boyfriend. At least, that's how Nazuna put it. The people they passed always thought they were a couple or best friends, of some sort. Once they had arrived to their destination, they walked into the elevator. Shirou pressed a button and they waited for it to stop at their destined floor. When there they headed for Mayor Rose's office just down the hall. Michiru had a smile plastered on her face as they walked. And, to anyone who was looking close enough, Shirou had a small smile planted on his face as well. They arrived at the door and knocked. When they got the okay to walk inside Shirou opened the door.

     As they walked inside they noticed that there were humans in the room. Michiru had immediately looked around, spotting two familiar figures. She looked away in an instant that caused Shirou to give her a confused side eye look. They stood in front of Mayor Rose's desk and waited for her to speak.

"Mr. Ogami and Ms. Kagemori, welcome back to my office. Ms. Kagemori, I know it's your week off but, two of the humans that had been chosen to live in Anima City claim to be related to you. I wanted to make sure it was correct before housing then somewhere," Mayor Rose spoke as the two figures Michiru had seen walked over.
