Authors forward: So this fic kind of came to me while I was reading another Monster Musume fic, and I just couldn't help myself from writing it, so here it is!

I'd also like to thank Natron77 for beta reading it these first few chaps, as it was their fic that I was reading at the time.

01/10/2019 edit: I will now be doing re-edits to this story in preparation to continue working on it. When the edits to it are caught up, I will continue it in earnest, however i cannot guarantee a perfect edit in fixing grammar mistakes that have existed in the past, because for some reason my word program wont find them anymore for this story. something about too many of them. I blame everyone's names.

Kurusu Kimihito Sat up in his bed and glanced around. Surprisingly there was no one in his bed like usual, as even with a deadbolt on his door each of them managed to find a way in one way or another. But somehow something felt off. His body felt cold despite the covers over him, so maybe he just needed to check the houses heating.

Deciding he'd check the heater before making breakfast Kimihito threw the covers off his body and got out of his bed. His pajamas felt strangely loose on his body, but he ignored it as he changed a quickly as he could.

"The faster I change, the less likely I'll get mobbed by Miia," Kimihito muttered to himself with a quiet sigh.

Throwing his shirt on last Kimihito looked at the clock on his wall and had to squint for a moment to make out the time in his sleepy state.

8:24

Kimihito sighed as he yawned and left his room. From the time not everyone would be up, so he'd be able to begin making breakfast for everyone reasonably fast for once.

Walking down the hall he only stopped once at the thermostat to check it," Hmm, its temperature is fine, even for Miia. I wonder if I'm coming down with something?" Kimihito muttered to himself as he walked away from the thermostat and into the kitchen.

Upon entering it he found Centorea and Rachnera sitting at their usual spots, Centorea slowly munching on what appeared to be a carrot, and Rachnera drinking something dark from a cup as she looked over a newspaper on the table.

"Morning Rachnee, Cerea." Kimihito said with another yawn as he walked over to the counter and pulled out the cutting board and knife, nearly dropping the former. Just why was he so tired today?

"Good morning master!" Cerea stated with a sharp, but small bow, noticing something was off with Kimihito.

Rachnee nodded and took a sip of here drink, then looked up from the paper only when see poke her shoulder. "Morning, are you alright?" Rachnee asked in a slightly worried tone.

"Hmm, yeah I'm just a bit tired that's all," Kimihito stated as he opened up the fridge and found it bone dry, with only a bottle of juice, and a few carrots on the bottom. "Oh, the fridge is empty. Looks like I'll need to hit the store to make breakfast for everyone."

"The fridge is not empty though, why get more," Cerea asked calmly.

"I think he meant breakfast for everyone else, Centorea," Rachnee stated as she looked back at Kimihito. "You were saying you were going to go shopping today anyway, but are you sure you should go?"

"What do you mean Rachnee?" Kimihito asked in confusion.

"You look pale," Rachnera stated simply.

Kimihito closed the fridge and looked at himself in its surface. He hadn't had a chance to wash up before coming down, or had been too tired to care, but when he looked at himself in the fridge he noticed that he did look awfully pale. He still felt oddly tired as well, but there were no dark lines around his eyes. "I might just be coming down with something, it's nothing" Kimihito stated as he sighed at the fridge. I need to get groceries, but breakfast comes first. I'll head out to the corner store and get some stuff, so I'll be back in a bit." Kimihito said as he began walking out of the kitchen.

"Ah, master if you are sick you should stay home and get better!" Cerea pleaded.

"It's not that big of a deal, I'll be fine." Kimihito said as he left the kitchen, leaving the two girls in it alone, with a newspaper that had its most important article yet unread.

"I said I'd be fine," Kimihito said muttered as he walked down the streets. The weather was not cold and a light warm breeze blew through the streets, but he found himself shivering more and more often as he walked. It was like his body was freezing from the inside out. "But . . . . . . Maybe I am coming down with something; I'll buy some cold medicine when I get the breakfast groceries."

The further he waked the harder it became to breath, and by the time he made it to the corner store in his area, he found he was almost hyperventilating, despite the store being only a five or ten minute walk away from his own home. Walking into the store he found the light made his eyes hurt, causing him to squint, but still managed to find everything he needed and made it to the register.

"Ah one moment please!" The clerk called as Kimihito stepped up to the register. He was busy organizing some papers, and from the looks of it, they were all over the place. Kimihito knew the clerk well though, and this sort of thing was normal, so he simply waited, and quickly had his attention drawn to the small TV In the corner that was on a news report.

Scientists, both Liminal and human have yet to understand what is causing this strange disease, and have also been unable to discern it's method of infection. Because of this all government groups are taking the situation very seriously so-

"Quiet the predicament huh?" The clerk said as he finished organizing the papers and piled the stacks on the shelving below the counter.

"What, that disease thing? I haven't heard anything about it. Is it recent?"

"Yeah, I'm not sure what it does, but it's been causing quite a stir and - . . . . . are you okay man?" The clerk asked as he turned around and slowly began ringing up Kimihito's groceries. "You look pale, and kind of thin, are you eating well?"

"Yeah, I'm just a bit tired." Kimihito assured the clerk as he pulled out his debit card from his wallet, but fumbled it onto the counter. Trying to pick it up proved a challenge though, as his fingers were not quite moving how he wanted them to.

"I think it's more than just that man," The clerk said as he picked up Kimihito's card and slid it into the reader for him. "I'd suggest you hit the sack as soon as you get home."

"Uh, yeah, I think I might actually. You might be right," Kimihito said with a nod of his head that ended up being much heavier than he expected. His body was feeling strange, cold, tired, and now he felt like his muscles were turning to gum.

"Well just be sure that you do. You look like crap man," The clerk said as he handed Kimihito the two bags of groceries.

"Yeah, I- kind of feel like it too," Kimihito said with a weak wave as he grabbed the groceries and walked out of the store.

Walking down the road Kimihito felt his body become even worse feeling. The chills across his body were becoming hot flashes, his muscles now felt like shattered glass instead of gum, and every movement brought a piercing pain across his body. Just when he thought it couldn't get worse his head began pounding, as if a balloon was being blown up and then beat on with a mallet inside of his skull.

This continued until he finally made it back to his house, and by that time, he felt like walking death. Just how could he go from feeling sleepy to so horrible in such a short space of time?

"I'm back!" Kimihito groaned as he entered the house and placed the groceries down so he could untie his shoes.

A half second later Rachnee and Mero came into the hall, and both of them reacted as Kimihito expected they would when he realized he hadn't been just tired.

"Ah, you don't look good at all!" Mero exclaimed as she rolled over and tried to help Kimihito stand, something that was difficult when she was in her wheelchair, and therefore shorter than him.

"See, I told you that you shouldn't have gone out," Rachnee said with a sigh as she came over and picked up both bags of groceries with one hand. "Go to bed, we'll get the groceries to the fridge and explain to everyone else that you're sleeping in before we call Mrs. Smith,"

"I don't think that would be-"

"No I will, now get up to bed!" Rachnee said as Kimihito merely sighed and walked up the stairs. Once they heard the sound of his door closing Rachnee turned to Mero. "Could you tell everyone while I call Ms. Smith?" She asked as she handed Mero the groceries by placing them on her lap.

"Of course Miss Rachnera!" Mero replied with a smile as she pushed her self along down the hall, allowing Rachnee to grab the phone and dial it.

"Hello?"

"Ms. Smith, this is Rachnera," Rachnee stated quickly, her tone cold and low. " I'm calling you because Darling is rather sick, and I figured you should know."

"I see. Thank you. I'm guessing it's a fever or cold right?"

"No, he seemed tired when he first got up, but he got worse, so I'm worried it's maybe something worse," Rachnee stated.

For many moments the line was quiet, until Rachnee heard a shuffling of papers, accompanied by Ms. Smith's voice. "Okay, what were his symptoms? Tell me all you can, in order of their appearance please."

"He seemed tired and a bit pale when he woke up. He looked dizzy as well. He went to the store to get some groceries for breakfast then. Normally it would have taken only about ten minutes to go and come back, but he was gone for an hour, and when he returned he looked much worse. Like the life had been drained form his body, and he was as pale as a corpse."

" . . . . . . . I hope I'm wrong, but the symptoms sound like he may have caught that new disease going around. Liminal Transformation Syndrome," Smith said clearly in a worried tone.

"What exactly does it do? I read something about it earlier today, but the details the paper gave were, vague at best."

"That's intentionally done. The virus has only affected some women so far and its effects have been temporary, but let's just say if he has caught it, when he wakes up the house will have another Liminal in it!"

"Is that . . . . . . . really possible?" Rachnee asked with a surprised expression that quickly turned into a curiously devious smile.

"Yes surprisingly. . . . I'm currently in Kyushu with Doppel and Zombina, but Tio and Manaka are in the city still, if you need anything call them until I return. That includes groceries. I'll call them and tell them to come help you out."

"Thank you Ms. Smith."

"Don't thank me yet, but let me say this, do not go into Darlings room, if he hasn't caught LTS ( Liminal Transformation syndrome) then the danger of mutation will still be there. And don't tell anyone else about it unless he has indeed caught it alright? We're trying to keep it under wraps as best we can. So if he does end up with it, call me again ASAP!"

"Alright, thank you." Rachnee said as she put down the phone and sighed both happily and worryingly. Things might just become interesting!

Kurusu Kimihito Opened his eyes and stared up at the ceiling of his room. He felt extremely cold, but aside from that he felt much better than before. Glancing around he looked at his clock, a digital one on his wall, and saw that he had apparently slept all day. It was now the next morning, around the same time he had gotten up before.

With a sigh he tried to get up, but found he couldn't feel his legs at all, which was very disconcerting. Swallowing hard Kimihito exhaled slowly to calm down. He was sick after all, and jumping to reactions was not smart.

Instead of moving his legs again, he instead used his arms and pulled himself up his bed until he was sitting, but found that the covers were catching on his chest unusually a lot (normally they slipped off of him if he sat up.)

Moving his arm to his chest to move the sheet Kimihito suddenly felt a prickle across his chest that caused his blood to run cold. It was a feeling he had felt many times (by accident mostly) but it told him the reason he couldn't feel his legs. Miia was wrapped around him, and he had accidentally groped her. Again.

"Haaa, Miia I need to get up and-" Kimihito stopped mid sentence as he pushed the covers off of his chest. He had expected to find Miia latched onto his chest with her coils wrapped down his legs and across the bed, but she wasn't even in his bed, and instead of groping her breasts Kimihito was grabbing. . . . . his own.

Kimihito was completely still for a moment as he looked at the mounds on his chest, covered by his pajamas, and then finally after a moment, squeezed his hand on his chest. He let out a light squeak uncontrollably, and felt the feeling from his hand and his breast itself.

"Wha- what, is, why do I have-" Kimihito began to say until HE noticed the covers below his waist was bulky, so he threw them off, and quickly lost it.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!"
