"Alright, and then, it goes… Like this." Mika smiles, sprinkling in some crystal dust. You peer at the mixture curiously. 

        "And this can make us change into something else?" You blink at her.

        "Yes. I'll show you." She takes a sip, setting it down as her body blurs, scales appearing accompanied by dragon horns. 

        "Whoa! You're a dragonkin now!" You gasp in awe.

        "I'm taking a picture of you." Kiyoko says before snapping one. Mika peers at the picture and giggles. 

        "I look mean!" She laughs in amusement. "Your turn Kiyoko."

        "Alright… Let's see what I get." Kiyoko hums before sipping the potion as well, blurring as she grows a little more, legs turning into a long snake tail, shimmering with blue and light green. 

        "Whoa… Naga." You gasp.

        "Gosh. Kiyoko is beautiful in every species." Mika sighs with a small blush. 

        "Right? She's so lovely." You gasp.

        "Girls…" Kiyoko blushes a bit in embarrassment. "Here ___, your turn." She adds, passing you the potion as Mika takes a few pictures of her. 

        "Ah. I'm sort of nervous." You admit, picking it up.

        "It'll be fine, try it." Mika giggles. 

        "Here goes…" You murmur before taking a sip of the sour concoction. You shudder, buddy buzzing as it changes, feeling yourself growing. Suddenly it felt like you could hear more, your shirt moving slightly as the tails come out. 

         "Awee! You're a kitsune!" Mika gushes while taking pictures. You blink feeling your ears before peering at the tails. 

         ".... I wanna show Samu!" You gasp, jumping up and pausing, glancing down. "My boobs! They're bigger!" You squeak out. 

        "Yeah. You might want to put a jacket on." Kiyoko giggles.

        "Oh! I'm coming too. I'm going to film their reaction." Mika breathes, with a grin. You chuckle and lead her out after pulling on your jacket. You go downstairs, hearing a movie playing in the living room as you both pass and go out to the twin's house. You peer at Mika as she hides around the corner of the fence with her phone ready. You knock on the door and Osamu comes to answer the door, freezing in shock. His twin senses something is up and comes to see. 

        "Eh…. EH? EHHH!" Atsumu's gasp. "No! What the… What the hell is this!?" He demands, jabbing a finger at you. You blink in surprise as he suddenly marches off, grumbling and yelling. 

        "Um… Sorry?" You feel an ear flicker. 

        "No. Th-Thats fine." Osamu shakes his head, scratching the back of his head. "He just likes…" 

         "Change back! Right now!" Atsumu demands, clapping a hand over his twin's mouth. 

         "No. I'm having a sleepover." You laugh. His ears flicker and Osamu's perk. 

         "The cookies!" The other kitsune hurries back to the kitchen as Atsumu huffs. 

         "... It's not permanent?" He inquires. 

         "No. This made my clothes too tight." You shake your head. 

         "Yeah. My neck doesn't ache much since I don't gotta look down at you so much." He comments, rubbing his neck sheepishly. 

         ".... I'm not that short." You scoff. He blinks and snickers at that.

         "You're tiny." He breathes. 

         "Here ___, I hope they like them." Osamu passes you a container. 

         "Thanks 'Samu," You smile while taking it. "Goodnight guys." You add heading back to Mika who waves at the boys too. 

         "What the hell is going on over there…?" Atsumu whispers to his brother.

         "No idea…" Osamu blinks. 

         "Hehe! Atsumu is so funny! That reaction was gold!" Mika giggles as you both head back inside and upstairs to your room, finding an angel Kiyoko waiting for you.

         "You changed again?" You blink at her in surprise.

        "Yeah, I was afraid of knocking something over with that tail." She says apologetically as Mika takes pictures.

        "That's alright, as long as you're comfortable… Your wings are beautiful, like the night sky." You murmur touching them.

        "They really are… How did it go with the twins?" Kiyoko inquires. Mika giggles, showing her the video. 

         "I don't know why he was so mad." You murmur.

         "Probably because he likes you how you are." Kiyoko comments. 

         "Oh… He doesn't like to act like it, but he really is a good friend." You murmur. The girls exchange a look at that.

         "My turn!" Mika hums, grabbing it to get a sip. You sit down and watch as she starts to grow larger and larger. 

         "Uh oh." Kiyoko's eyes widen as Mika's shirt starts to rip.

        "Hurry! Take a sip again!" You gasp to her. She nods, swiftly doing so and returning to her original size.

        "Awe… My shirt…" She pouts.

        "I'll give you one of mine." Kiyoko tells her lightly, getting one from her bag.  

        "Hold on, not until the potion is gone." Mika giggles, getting up to lock the door.

        "Right, there's no telling what we'll change into next." Kiyoko breathes thoughtfully. "Also, these cookies Osamu made are amazing."

        "He's the best. He'll be happy to hear that." You nod in agreement as Mika tries one.

        "Mmm so good!" She gasps before looking at the potion before offering it to you.

        "Okay… Should I?" You ask. 

        "Yes!" Mika passes the potion to you. 

        "Okay. Here we go.." You take a sip, body buzzing again. Wings leaving your back threaten to rip your shirt, so you take it off to peer at them.

        "Demon huh? The coloration is really interesting." Kiyoko breathes looking over them.

        "Mhm. I love it, and your little horns are so cute." Mika touches one. 

        "That feels weird." You comment. 

        "Your tail sort of looks like Oikawa's." Kiyoko adds peering at it.

        "Does that mean something?" You look at her. 

        "Hmm. The shape of the tail tip tells something about the demon's heart. This one says you're sweet and warm." She breathes.

        "... But you said it was like Oikawa's." Mika deadpans. Kiyoko giggles at that but you tilt your head.

        "I think he is warm and nice… I mean… He could've just picked on me and stuff…" You blink, remembering the group from earlier. 

        "Who would pick on you? You're so nice." Mika frowns lightly. Kiyoko watches you as you look down. 

        "Others… Just because I'm different." You shrug slightly. Mika frowns at that. "I never really felt like that before… I've always stood up for other people. But when it came to me… I didn't know what to say… Because I sort of understood why…" You frown at the floor. 

        "___…” Mika breathes.

        "I'm different… It's all new to me." You offer a smile. 

        "You're extraordinary really." Kiyoko hums thoughtfully. "That's why I like you. And I know everyone else feels that way."

        "Mhm! You're awesome!" Mika beams.

        "Thanks… your turn." You pass the potion to Kiyoko. 

        "Alright, let's see." 

        No more pictures were taken after Mika's shirt got ruined, but the three of you finished off that potion an hour later, giggling and chatting until you fell asleep. 

-

        "So what are we doing today?" Mika asks as everyone eats breakfast. 

        "Hmm… I don't know, what can we do?" You ask.

        "What about goin to Cloud 9?” Atsumu suggests.

        "Cloud 9?" You blink.

        "It's basically a festival realm, small world." Kiyoko informs.

        "They do festivals and carnivals year-round." Your mom pipes in.

        "Really, it sounds fun. Why haven't you said anything about it before?" Your dad asks.

        "It's usually really crowded, and worse on the weekends." Osamu responds.

        "That doesn't sound like much fun." Mika frowns. You decide to check your phone at that.

        "What about a human realm carnival? I have never been to Cloud 9 but something tells me a human carnival isn't as busy." You offer.

        "That does sound less crowded." Kiyoko agrees.

        "And I've been craving human food." Mika smiles.

        "We'll just have to go to the potion shop for the day-long transformation potion." Osamu nods. 

        "You guys are coming too?" Kiyoko comments, making the twins pause awkwardly.

         "Hehe it's fine you two, we should make this a group outing." Mika giggles. 

         "I like that idea." You breathe, instantly messaging Tendo. 

         "Didn't even wait." Mika leans her head on you.

         "No hesitation." Kiyoko agrees, doing the same. You blush at that, looking down.

         "... Just couldn't last the weekend." Atsumu scoffs.

         "Hm? What's up?" Your dad blinks looking lost.

         "Oh! Is Tendo going as well?" Your mom asks cheerfully. "Will I get to meet him this time?" There's a pause, but Atsumu speaks first.

          "Probably not, sorry Autumn. He's a shy sort of guy. He'll probably be too nervous to come here." He explains lightly.

           "Awe. That's too bad." She tilts her head with a frown. "Also, why did you stop calling me Auntie? I've been wondering about that for a few weeks now."

           "Uh… Thanks for the food!" Atsumu smiles with a blush before rushing out. 

           "Don't worry about that idiot Auntie. He still likes you." Osamu smiles sweetly. 

           "Well… Okay, as long as he's not unhappy with me." She says unsurely.

           "We should get ready. Or, should we go shopping? Do we look human enough dressed like this?" Mika asks you. You peer over the girls briefly.

           "We may have to go shopping…" You nod.

           "The closest place that has human-like clothes is the Dark district." Your father says. "So take the twins with you and be careful."

           "Right." You and the girls nod before going upstairs to get ready. 

           "Um.. what's in the Dark district?" You ask lightly. 

           "Demons, vampires, werewolves, hellcats, imps… You know, the ones that frequent the human realm." Mika informs.

            "Imps huh…" You swallow as you change.

            "It's okay, we'll be together." Kiyoko hums.

            "Sure." You nod as Tendo messages you back. Mika checks it before smiling.

            "He wants to know where he can meet us. And when." She tells you.

            "Hmm.. Do you mind if he meets us at the Dark district door?" You ask them.

           "Of course not. You two are so precious." Mika giggles.

           "Will he be okay to come?" Kiyoko asks with a head tilt.

           "Why wouldn't he be?" You blink in confusion, looking over at her. She shifts before rubbing her cheek and looking down.

           "I just noticed that he doesn't seem to leave the school when it's time to go." She murmurs. You stop at that, looking at her.

           "Wait, you think he's living at the school?" Mika clarifies carefully. 

           "It makes sense." You admit, looking at your shoes as you tie them up. You rest your chin on your knee. "I don't think he has a place to go to after school… And the school has everything he needs… Imps can shrink so I'm sure he can hide himself if need be."

           "That's… Sad." Mika looks down as well. You swallow and stand up, grabbing your wallet. 

           "I don't mind paying, but I'm sure he does." You rub your cheek.

           "We'll help too!" Mika gasps. 

           "Easy Mika, he will be embarrassed if he notices." Kiyoko hums. 

           "Right… I wish I knew how we could help him." She sighs. 

           You nod in agreement, messaging Tendo back. "It'll be fine. I'm optimistic." You breathe. They blink before smiling. 

           "Then let's go!" Mika chimes, leading the way out and in front of the house where the twins waited.

           "Let's go ladies." Atsumu rumbles, leading the way for the potion shop.

           "Actually. We want to go get human clothes in the Dark district." You tell them.

           "Oh right, the only thing you still got from there is that ugly hoodie." He sighs.

          "It's not ugly." You puff your cheeks. "And it just has a nice memory linked to it." You grumble.

          "So sentimental." He sighs before peering back at you. "Glad to see you back to normal by the way." 

          "He was very bothered by that." Osamu chuckles to you. 

          "I was not expecting that reaction." You nod. "Sorry Tsumu." 

          "It's fine. That was quite the surprise though… Where did you guys get the potion?" He inquires.

          "Mika made it." You hum.

          "I do advanced potions." Mika smiles. "I want to be a doctor, so learning potions is essential because that's one of the main reasons people end up in the hospitals around here."

          "Really?" You gasp in alarm. 

          "Yes, potions get messed up all of the time, and if you drink them, it can go bad." She nods.

          "I saw someone accidentally turn their arm into smoke after drinking a bad potion before." Kiyoko nods.

          "That's awful… They can fix that?" You gasp. 

         "Mhm. I know the correct potion to fix smoke limbs." Mika giggles.

         "Mika… You're amazing." You marvel, making her blush.

         "Awe… It's only a part of what I need to learn." She says sheepishly. "... Still so much. I haven't even touched on botany yet."

         "Yeesh. The thought of you learning so much is giving me a headache." Atsumu huffs.

         "That's because you're an idiot." Osamu murmurs.

         "Hah?!" Atsumu growls, grabbing his twin's collar.

         "I didn't say anything." Osamu hums.

         "Yer a liar." Atsumu growls. 

         "Oh look there's the door." Mika points.

         "Looks like Tendo's waiting." Kiyoko adds, making you look away from the twins.

         "Eh? You invited the imp?" Atsumu complains. 

          "Hey Tendo, good to see you." Osamu greets with a smile.

          "Hi… Dark district huh? Kinda makes me uneasy." Tendo waves.

          "Yeah. Same. Are you ladies sure about this?" Atsumu glances at you specifically.

          "... Yeah. I think it'll be fine." You smile as Tendo comes over to hug you. 

          "No worries, we have strong kitsunes tagging along." He hums happily.

          "Oi…" Atsumu starts before smirking. "Fine. Leave the protection to us." He rumbles, ears perking.

          "Suddenly he seems reliable." Mika blinks.

          "We'll watch over you. So have fun." Osamu adds, ushering everyone through the door after his brother. Tendo takes your hand as you both go through, coming out to a town with an overcast sky. 

          "Wow…" You breathe peering about. 

          "Clothes stores are this way, let's make it quick." Atsumu tells the group starting off. You hold onto Tendo's arm, peering about to see what you could since the others were kind of shielding you from all directions. 

          "Um guys. I know you're worried, but you might offend someone." You smile a bit.

          "Sorry, you're right." Mika nods, relaxing a bit. Kiyoko just nods, still staying close. Tendo squeezes your hand as Atsumu enters the clothes store, some creatures sniffing your way. You swallow, moving through the racks with Tendo, letting go of his hand to pull off hangers.

          "So many jackets…" He murmurs. 

          "Go check them out, the stuff on this rack is too small for you." You tell him.

          "You sure you'll be okay?" He frowns unsurely.

          "Yeah. I'm not going anywhere, I don't think someone is going to bother me in a clothes store." You assure. He nods, moving a few rows down. You continue browsing, picking out a few things before moving to find Mika, accidentally bumping into someone near the back of the store. The collision makes you fall back. 

           "Oh, my bad, you okay?" The guy asks with a frown as he crouches down to look you over with ice blue eyes. You blink at him, taking in the piercings and the wavy white undercut he had that draped down barely above his brows. 

          "I-Im fine." You manage as he offers a black gloved hand. 

         "Good, sorry I didn't see you. You're much smaller than people around here." He smiles lightly helping you up once you take his hand. 

         "I'm much smaller than a lot of people." You joke lightly. 

         "Yeah… Be careful around here. I'm not normally one that's observant, but it's obvious that you're pure." He quickly moves his hand away, sparing a wink before heading out. 

          "... You really need to be more careful." Atsumu deadpans, leaning to your level. 

          "What, he was nice." You blink at him. "What was he?"

          "... I'm not sure. But he looks like he belongs to this district. So be careful… You still got your wallet?"

          "Yeah… I found clothes too." You smile. 

          "I did too. Let me see." Mika chimes coming over, scanning you briefly. You show her what you picked and she giggles calling the outfit cute before showing you hers. Kiyoko soon joins, smiling as well. They both go to pay before changing while Atsumu moves back to his brother. 

          "Ah, I don't really want anything from here." Tendo tells you, coming back to your side with a sheepish smile.

          "Awe… I wanted to get you something too." You pout. He pauses and chuckles, putting his arms around your neck, leaning down to cuddle his cheek to your forehead.

          "That's okay. I'm just happy to be spending a weekend with you." He rumbles happily. You blink and smile, putting a shaky hand on his arm. 

          "Then I'll be happy too." You murmur. A ruckus near the doorway steals both of your attention, and suddenly Atsumu and Osamu were moving you towards the back of the store casually. "What…?" You peer past them, stopping as a familiar face spots Tendo.

          "Heyy guys look at this loser." She chuckles, approaching Tendo with her friends. Her blood red hair pulled up in a messy ponytail and her bangs angled over one brow. Her red eyes glint over him. "What are you doing here, garbage?' She smirks.

          "Wow… Good to see you Rory, you sure have gotten strong. Even someone like me can tell." Tendo greets, immediately standing so she wouldn't see you. 

         "Yeah. That's what happens when you do what you're supposed to." Rory huffs. Tendo pauses, swallowing before narrowing his eyes.

         "What you're brainwashed to do…. You mean." He breathes. Her eyebrows raise at that.

         "Heh…. Don't be jealous because you're too useless to do something so easy." She breathes before putting a hand on his chest, suddenly forcing him back, making him fall into a rack. 

          You frown, forcing your way past the wary kitsunes, marching over and catching Rory's wrist as she moves to reach for Tendo. She pauses, eyes sliding over to you before widening. 

          "Leave him alone. Rory." You whisper, feeling something rippling around you. 

          "You…" She snatches her arm away, stepping away. "Oh. I see…. So the protector was an angel this whole time huh?" She sneers, lip curling.

          "That's right, now how about you take your imp friends and get going." Atsumu speaks up, putting an arm around your shoulders while Osamu helps Tendo up. 

          "Tch… Don't let me catch you without your little entourage." Rory warns before stalking out. 

          "Right back at you." You huff in annoyance before wincing as Atsumu pinches your cheeks.

          "You…. You troublesome thing! What the hell were you thinking?!" He hisses. You blink and frown at him. 

          "I don't care what or who it is. I will always stand up for Tendo." You respond seriously. He pauses before sighing and hugging you, sending Tendo a glare. 

           "Yer such a pain in the ass."
