Anifusio IDOLiSH7!

1: The Cat and the Raven

It was an era where human X animal creatures could be created legally. These creatures were called "Anifusio". Not only did they possess human intelligence, they also gained animal abilities. Anifusio were usually considered prettier than normal humans, but what really made them stand out were their physical animal features such as ears, wings, or tails. Oh, Anifusio could transform into their animal form for a certain period of time.

And here began the story of the 7 Anifusio (or more!) at a certain music university...

"Whoa... this place is huge!"

The redhead's ears suddenly pointed up in excitement. After all, this was the first time he got to live like a normal person. You see, when this cat Anifusio was created, it was a miracle that two lives were formed instead of one. However, this Neko Nanase Riku was born with a weak respiratory system and he couldn't do many physical activities at all. He was always in and out of the hospital as a kitten, but now at age 18, his health had gotten a bit better so he was now allowed to live a university life like others.

Nanase Riku was a cat Anifusio with fluffy, classic white cat ears. He has a long, thin, yet still fluffy white tail. Yup, he totally was a cat except his personality was so not "cat".

After staring in awe for a while, he realised he needed to find out his timetable as he had missed the whole welcome week due to having had a severe attack.

"Hmmm... I don't really know where to go..." Riku was slightly worried until he heard something...

"Excuse me."

"Eh?" Riku turned to see a man with dark blue, almost black hair. From what Riku could tell, this man is probably a normal human. Behind him stood a shorter man with orange hair.

"Are you alright? You just seem a bit lost."

The dark-haired man, Izumi Iori, asked him. Actually, he wasn't that concerned; it was just that he was drawn to the cute fluffy ears Riku had on his head. Poor Iori could hardly restrain himself from reaching his hand out to touch those. He was snapped back to reality by Riku's wide smile of innocence.

"Actually, I don't know where to go. I, uh, couldn't attend the welcome week... "

"The whole week?!?" The orange-haired man suddenly shouted. His eyes widened.

"Yeah... " Riku answered with a quieter voice, not wanting to say to complete strangers that he was hospitalised the whole time.

"Well, I've got to go to class, but my little brother here can help." With that, the orange-haired boy ran off in a hurry.

"Little brother!?!"

"I get that a lot. Anyway, I am Izumi Iori, first year, and the guy just now is my nii-san, Izumi Mitsuki. Let's get you to the student service centre. They can provide you with the timetable data." Iori answered with a straight face and then started walking, expecting Riku to follow.

"Ahh umm, I'm Nanase Riku and I'm also a first year."

They didn't get much further from where they were when suddenly a basketball came flying at high speed in their direction.

"Watch out, Nanase-san!!" Iori quickly transformed himself into a large black bird, more precisely a raven. He kicked the ball with his bird claws and so Riku was safe from getting hit in the face.

When Iori transformed back, he snapped at Riku. "Are you stupid?!? You're a cat! Why did you just stand there?"

"Just because I'm a cat doesn't mean I have a fast reaction!" Riku pouted but after 2 seconds, he smiled again.

"Thanks for saving me, Iori. You looked totally cool! I didn't know you were an Anifusio as well. What bird is that?"

"...What a cute person..."

"Eh?"

"*cough* Ahem! I am a raven. We really should get going."
