Hello

He was excited to meet his new partner, already wondering what he would be like.

One day before

"... And that's what he said" the Kitsune finished explaining.

"It excites you?" asked the succubus

"Well I don't know, I've never been around or talked to a human so I have no idea, what if he doesn't like me?"

"Who could hate you?"

"I don't know what if... does he hate demons?"

"Mmm... it would be weird if they brought in someone who hated us, isn't this supposed to improve coexistence?"

“Maybe they will, so they stop hating us and stuff. Oh, just thinking about it makes me worry."

"Calm down honey, I'm sure everything will be fine"

"Mmm, if you say so"

Suddenly the kitsune's phone starts ringing, who sees the contact and answers.

"Boss, what's up?"

"It was to confirm that all the chosen humans will come, so I want you to be at the airport tomorrow at 2 p.m., there you will meet the other demons that are part of the project"

"Oh good"

"And Liu Ying, you'll be there, I'll send you the list of names so you can make sure they're all there."

"Copied, boss"

"Have a good afternoon" the call was cut off.

"So with everything ready we can..." the redhead watches as the blonde's hand squeezes the phone and trembles, which worried her "honey, what's going on?"

"I? Nothing at all, everything is fine…” she forced a smile that seemed more like a grimace and sighed uncomfortably.

"Ikki, are you nervous?"

"YES... I mean, no... I don't know, I just have no idea what could happen" the woman smiles at him tenderly.

“You've been fighting and saving humans, why are you feeling nervous all of a sudden? You usually act confident like someone cool."

"Yes, well... saving them doesn't seem the same as talking to them"

"Trust that everything will be fine, dear." She smiled at him and he smiled back.

"Okay, then let's wait until tomorrow"

Present

He was currently at the airport with the other demons, among them was a friend of his named Akihiko Kimura who was a werewolf, it could be said that they had been great friends for years, he was chatting with him when the airport communicator was heard.

"Attention, the Daiku city flight is landing, those in charge of receiving the passengers"

Right away the kitsune tensed, his chat partner seeing that just laughed and patted him on the back.

“Calm down child, they are not going to devour you”

"I wasn't thinking about that"

"Yes... of course," said this, he proceeded to laugh a little more making the blond pout and he looked at him to the exit of the new arrivals.

Liú Ying approached the stewardess to find out everything, after finishing she gave way to the passengers of the plane.

"Well, when I say your name, come closer, I'll say the two names of the couple so that at least you know who is your turn"

Ikki saw that there were 2 men and 3 women, he saw a black-haired man who was just his type and blushed, he shook his head to banish the silly thoughts of him.

"Akihiko Kimura" the albino approached Liu Ying "Hanae Nakamura" the girl had brown hair with green eyes, she seemed a little taller than the blonde, "so she's her partner"

"Ikki Takashi" came out of his reverie and approached the redhead "Keitaro Inoue" he could see that the black-haired man from before was also approaching, he quickly blushed and his heart began to beat rapidly "I don't think I need to say it, but, you're partners so get along and all that stuff" she put her tablet away and started walking out of the airport "Since we're all together, let's get out now and get into the vans to take you to your temporary home until the test is over"

Everyone started to follow her, the kitsune wanting to make a good impression on her crush of only a few minutes, approached.

"Hey, let me help you with that" he reached out his hand to take one of the human's suitcases, but this was moved out of his reach leaving him confused, he looked up to find a face that clearly showed discomfort.

"Eh... it's not necessary, I can take it by myself, thanks" then the man surrounded him and began to walk towards the exit with his suitcases, the kitsune was somewhat depressed with the black-haired man's attitude, but with nothing else to do, he let out a He sighed and did the same as the others.

During the entire trip he only looked out the window at the landscape of houses, shops and other buildings that were not at all different from those of human land, next to him was his kitsune companion, no one else than the so-called "Takashi" from the mall the other day. He was able to realize the slight blush that he had when he saw him, maybe he was shy? He didn't know, although he could say yes since he kept quiet the whole trip, unlike the others, apparently the succubus noticed the blonde's attitude and spoke to him.

"Ikki darling, are you alright?" the aforementioned blinks in a daze.

"Oh yes, I was just thinking about something, don't worry" he gave him a reassuring smile and began to look out the window, meanwhile he watched him in silence, feeling somewhat curious about his partner.

Apparently, they finally arrived at the kitsune's home, it was a traditional Japanese house, and he was surprised since it was the first time he saw one in person. Then he listened to the blonde's conversation with the redhead.

"I'll be back later, I have to do some things that Wu Qiang asked me to do"

"Ok, take care" he turned and saw the car door close and the car drive off.

Ikki walks towards the gate that was closed to open it, Keitaro just followed him without saying anything. They entered and the black-haired man only looked around to admire the house inside, then he followed him to the second floor while they went to his new room, when they arrived the boy spoke.

"This is the room where you will stay, you can unpack and get comfortable, if you need something you can call me" said this, he went in the direction of the first floor.

He just went inside and saw that there were things like a wardrobe, a nightstand, and a bed, he sat on it and started unpacking. Apparently, they weren't bad people and the kitsune's attitude caught his attention, so maybe he wouldn't have as bad a time as he expected.
