I do not own anything in this story I own myself for this is a self insert story and OCs.

Chapter 1.

In the land of the rising sun Japan deep within the woods was a large three story house, next to the house was a large lake surrounded by trees. The house was a brown wood stain color, the roof was a dark green metallic with a metal chimney surrounded by bricks. At the front of the house was a large wide window that over looked the lake and the trees, at the back of the house was a covered patio with four lime stone pillars holding a shaded roof, the flooring was concrete stone with stone stairway leading up the back door.

In the middle of the patio was a small stone fire pit with six couches surrounding the pit, on the side was a combination of a stone and metal grill for barbecuing. On the left side was a dark brown wooden deck with another set of stairs leading down from the top, and the door which lead to the upper floor.

And the front was a large wide stone deck with small granite stairs leading to the front of the deck which lead to the front wooden door. And inside this lovely house was a young man of 22 years of age, an American who just moved to Japan four years ago. Inside one of the rooms of the house, was said owner with dark brown hair, fine handsome face with no amount of baby fat or imperfections, at the moment the man was sleeping peacefully until.

*BEEP*

*BEEP*

*BEEP*

The sound of his alarm clock went off. Moaning with annoyance from the disturbance of his sleep he reached over his window and turned the alarm off, sighing with relief he slowly began to open his eyes. Now you probably expect him to have brown, blue, green or chestnut eye color like normal people, but he was far from normal. As he opened his eyelids his eyes were a fiery reddish orange color like that of fire.

Slowly blinking his eyes to get used to the light of the sun, and to get the sleep out of his eyes. He let out a yawn and looked at his clock which read 9:52 in the morning. "Heh, morning already?" He said to himself and the name of this man was Estevan Martinez, the owner of this house in the woods. Estevan suddenly felt something on his left side and looked to see what or rather who was sleeping next to him.

There laying beside him was a beautiful young lady who was close to his age at 21 years old, with fine precious skin like silk, her hair was a bright red color held by two clips in the shape of a 'D' but like him she wasn't normal either.

On both sides of her face were pinkish red scales and her ears the same color but pointed, looking down his body he could see her wearing a yellow long sleeved sleep wear, and wrapped around his body was a long serpentine tail with the same color as her face. The girl was sleeping blissfully next to him and snuggled closer to him.

Letting out a small smile Estevan shook his head at the girl before him. 'Sleeping in my bed again?'

Reaching over he grabbed her shoulder and gently shook her. "Miia, it's morning. Time to wake up now." He spoke to her in a deep manly voice.

The girl Miia only snuggled deeper into him. "Five more minutes... No, let me warm up just five more degrees." The girl Miia spoke to him in a lovely voice like an innocent yet matured woman, as her tail rubbed and tightened around him.

"Was there a reason why you're in my bed again Miia?" Estevan asked the non human girl.

"Well I was cold and the sun hadn't risen yet, plus my heating blanket died on me. I thought you could warm me up, Darling." Miia explained to him slowly rising up to her elbow and placed her chin in her palm giving him a smile, staring deeply into his fiery eyes with her amber snake eyes. "Lamias are cold-blooded after all, you know?"

Estevan chuckled and leaned forward sitting up on his bed. "Well give me a minute, and I'll start a hot bath for you."

Miia with a cheeky smile replied to him. "Nope"

And snagged him with her tail before he could get up and wrapped him in her coils, bringing his face close to her breast which were almost exposed. "I want you to warm me up before you do anything else, Darling." She told him caressing his scalp gently and bringing him deeper into her cleavage. " So warm. I can feel your body heat warming me up."

As she held him like a stuff toy her left breast slipped out of her sleep wear exposing her nipple at Estevan. Normally any man in bed with a woman would've jumped at the chance to have a lovely girl like Miia however Estevan wasn't like those pervs who would ogle at women, he respected them and saw them as people not like toys.

Sighing knowing that Miia was very passionate like all her species, lamias were more opened with their emotions such as love. However he knew they can't stay in bed all day so he decided to have let go off him. Looking up from his cleage prison Miia was close to falling back to sleep, he tapped on her forehead making her look back at him. "Miia how's about this, if you let me go and start your bath. I take you out on a date in town. Sound like a plan to you?" His only answer was her eyes sparkled and widen with joy at her favorite word; date.

"You mean it Darling? You'll really take me on a date?" She asked him with high hopes of him saying yes.

"Of course I will, but you'll have to let me go and do my chores if you want me to take you out." He told her. Nodding rapidly with stars around her eyes, Miia released him, and Estevan stood on his feet at 5'6 feet in height.

Stretching and popping his neck and back. He turned to face her and said. "I'm gonna start your bath and get food ready ok?"

"Ok Darling!" Miia flashed him a thumbs up and grin happy that he was taking her on a date. Chuckling Estevan left his room to prepare her bath. As he made his way to the bathroom he went by two doors down the hall on opposite walls.

He went for the door on the left and quietly opened it and peered inside. The room itself was like a standard Japanese bed room, with matted flooring, small tea table, two white books selves, a desk with a TV and DVD player and at the window was a small sakura tree basking in the sun. On the floor was a bed mat and in the bed was another serpentine girl like Miia, only the difference is, is that her scales were a rich shade of green with red fur on the top, racing from the tip of the tail all the way to the end of the upper body.

The girl was just as beautiful as Miia, she had pure silver hair reaching down her back, her ears were pointed like Miia's but they were more like fins, the sides of her face was also the same green scales like her tail but they had long whip like whiskers going down and at the tip of the whiskers had a small gold ball attached to them. On the top of her head were two four tipped antlers facing backwards and finally her hands and forearms were a dragons front forelegs but had five fingered claws.

Seeing this lovely girl sleeping peacefully made Estevan smile as he gently leaned forward and gave a light kiss on her scaly cheek making her moan in bliss. "Danna-sama." She whispered with a voice of an angel. Knowing that she was alright Estevan left her room and gently closed the door, while going to the room on the right. Quietly opening the door he peaked inside to see his other housemate.

Unlike the other one this room had a few rock star posters of a new band called "ANM48" along with a few posters of samurai warriors, the floor was wood with a desk and laptop along with a lamp next to it. Leaning against the right wall was an electric guitar which was black with a flaming skull picture, at the window was a display stand with two bokken swords. In between the desk and bed was a self holding a midsized TV with a few gaming systems and DVD player, and in the bed was his third housemate.

Like Miia and the other girl she was also a serpentine girl, with jet black scales and red under belly but at the tip of her tail was red tuff of fur, wearing a grey tank top, she had mid-length black hair with a single left-swept red highlight on her bangs. On both sides of her face were also jet black scales and pointed ears. And like his second housemate her forearms were scaly with the same color but with red fur around her wrists and red tipped claws.

Estevan chuckled lightly at the sight before him as the girl was spread out in her bed, snoring a little louder, mouth slightly open and a line of drool going down her cheek. Wiping the drool from her she mumbled and turned on her bed to get more comfortable.

Deciding that Miia wouldn't wait for him to do her bath, Estevan left the room and went straight for the bathroom. When he got there the bathroom was like a standard Japanese bathroom with a wide bathtub that was waist deep on account of his housemates, next to the tub was a large mirror with a area for various soaps, shampoos, conditioners ect.

And on the other side of the bathroom was a wide walk in shower with glass doors that were partial viewing but with the image of a Japanese dragon on the door. The floor was a dull brown stone flooring with the tub itself having bricks and the walls and ceiling red tile. After finishing filling the tub Estevan shut it off as the room was soon filled with steam.

"Hopefully the water's warm enough for Miia before she falls asleep a third time." Estevan said to himself wiping his forehead. "So much remodeling had to be done because of the girls. Almost everything here is huge."

*Click*

*Open*

"Is the bath ready?"

He heard Miia asking him as she came through the door. "Yes Miia. It's ready." He told her turning to see her without any shirt on. Her long hair was tied up while two long strands of her hair covered her nipples.

"Thanks, Darling." She said to him. "Then I'll enter the bath first!" She slithered in and went into the tub as the water spilled over on the floor.

Miia sighed blissfully as the warmth of the water rushed through her body. "It's so warm. Japanese bathtubs are so great." Estevan only shook his head smiling at her. Even though she was beautiful she can be a child at times. "I also read that Japan has hot springs, too. I'd like to go to one with you someday." She told him slithering across the tub to where he's at.

Smiling Estevan said to her. "Well I'm sure I can pick a day for us, to go to one, Miia." As he was about to leave he felt her tail on his shoulder stopping him in his tracks. Looking over he raised a brow staring questionably at her.

"Don't forget the promise you made to me, Darling. I really wanna go on a date." She reminded him with a small frown.

Smiling softly he patted her tail and removed it. "Don't worry Miia, we'll go out on our date, just as soon as the others are up. Had their breakfast and did our chores ok?" Walking to her he rubbed her head making her close her eyes and smiled.

Leaning in he gave a small kiss on her cheek making her blush. "I promise it'll be a good date." Smiling she rubbed her forehead against his affectionately. With that he took his leave to prepare food for himself and his housemates.

Down stairs which had a kitchen/living room combo and a big wide sliding back door leading for the patio outside. Estevan started making some bacon, fried eggs, pancakes, some chicken, rice and boiled eggs along with whatever he can cook up, on the stove. As he cooked he grabbed the remote for the large plasma screen TV at the living room and clicked the power button turning the screen on to the local news.

On the screen were thousand of people shouting and screaming at a concert, a title card appeared at the bottom of the screen which was the name of the song " Everyday Animal Ears." by the popular band ANM48.

"The popular group ANM48 has broken it's record of consecutive #1 hits since it's debut. Any thought?" The anchorwoman spoke off screen as the news showed the members of said band, one was a blonde haired cat girl, with large white catlike paws and brown ears and amber yellow eyes. The other was another girl with red hair and rabbit ears, eyes the same color and two buck teeth like her namesake.

"As the world's first group comprised of demi-humans, they've made quite an impact." An anchorman spoke out also as another rabbit girl was seen but with mint green hair, eyes and ears and a smaller set of teeth than her other band member. The other girl from what Estevan had to guess was a wolf girl of sorts, with long purple hair, ears and eyes. Wearing black fingerless gloves and singing into the microphone pointing at the screen.

The last one was a minotaur girl with light green hair, ears and eyes while two short curved horns on the sides of her head, around her neck was a cowbell with a white coat with black patches."Not only that, but they're also really cute."

As he listened to the news Estevan was setting the already finished food on the table while getting the rest ready for the table.

"Their success can be attributed to the law passed three years ago. The Inter-Species Exchange Bill." The screen switched from the concert to a court where various monster girls were shaking hands with the leaders of every single nation inside the UN building in New York. "The law was passed so we could interact with the non-species the world government had kept hidden from the world."

The screen then switched to wear various monster girls in different outfits and uniforms preforming daily activities for others outside their species.

"Since then, we've all been aggressively pursuing cultural exchange. Fortunately they've assimilated into human culture without any major incidents."

"But the world hasn't changed as much as we expected. There have been some issue regarding with the Inter-Species Exchange Program, mainly with the religional kind."

"I also heard about things like that, there have been reports of some people who are against this and tried to attack the non-humans, because in their eyes they were branded as 'abominations' on account of their religion, riots have broke out in some countries and violence had increased. Fortunately the leaders of the UN have taken action and passed a law that forbids any harm against the non-humans. Any such actions against the shall be taken in and brought to justice for these heinous acts."

Decided he had enough of the news Estevan grabbed the remote and turned the TV off, while putting the last plate on the table. "Ain't that the truth." He sighed at the sheer thought of those people who had became the KKK to these beautiful demi-humans. Those so called people just didn't understand that they, the non-human species have a right to live on this earth just as God himself left the world to man. Everything in creation is precious to God and must be loved and cherished, not scorned and spiteful to.

Looking outside the window viewing the lake as the sun reflected on the surface, Estevan sighed and closed his eyes enjoying the moment of peace. 'And to think. It's been two months since they came into my life.'

(Two months earlier.)

May 3rd.

It was another sunny day in Japan as the weather was becoming warmer with summer coming next month. Outside near the lake was Estevan practicing his katas, the only thing he had on were his shorts exposing his well built body which was similar to Goku from DBZ. But he was far from normal.

On his chest, biceps, abdomen and thighs were glowing burning patches, when he was born he was just a normal baby but as he grew his body began to burn up, no matter how many times his family took him to the hospitals, they just couldn't figure out why his temperature was rising dramatically. With such a heat that high could've killed a human, and yet he still lived. And when he turned 6 his skin started to glow like fire from the sun.

With his new burning body it was very difficult for him to be around people with such a high temperature, so he's been lonely for most of his life. But things took a wrong turn for him, when he and his family were on vacation they got into an accident, only he survived but his family didn't. He tried so desperately to save them from the burning car, normally going into a burning vehicle would be a bad idea but with his new body he was invulnerable to the flames and heat. In fact it made him stronger.

But it was far too late, his family didn't make it and his unborn sister had perished with them. It devastated the poor boy, with no one else to turn to the police had dropped him off in the orphanage, at first it wasn't easy cause of some of the children calling him names like freak, fire beast, and fire demon. Those only made him hurt even more but at the same time made him angrier at them.

As his anger grew so did his internal heat, whenever he gets angry his burning body heats up, but there were a few children in the orphanage who befriended the boy. Those were happy times for him until the day adoption had arrived. At first no one wanted him as the other boys and girls found homes for themselves, at first he thought it was over until a young woman came and took him into her life. It was the happiest time in his life.

As the years went by he began to train himself to master his new found body hoping to control his fire based powers. When he turned 14 he was old enough to look after himself and did various tasks and odd jobs to earn some money. And when he had enough he used his savings to travel around the world to see the many things it had to offer, as well as meeting several martial arts masters, ones that he hoped would help him master his internal flame.

Years went on as he trained and mastered various fighting styles from country to country, as well as mastered his inner fire, when his world quest and training was complete he had decided to settle down and moved to Japan to start life anew. He had enough money to hire a construction crew to build him his house in the forest by the lake, and when the building was finished he lived peacefully in his new house in Japans forest, and that was four years ago.

Estevan threw fist after fist into the air, kicked his feet high striking an imaginary opponent. Preformed a spinning heel kick and dropped a power axe kick slamming his foot hard into the ground making a small crater. Steam rising from his body, burning skin flashing pulsating with power. Both his hands began to glow bright red as he focused his fire into his hands. Bringing his hands in the air and lowering them to his left, he thrust his palms out and fired a large ball of kii energy mixed with his fire at the lake.

BOOOM!

An explosion was heard throughout the woods, as it scared off the birds from the trees and the rising water falling back down. Estevan fired more smaller fire kii beams at the lake creating more and more explosions in the water. The burning skin on his body glowed very bright red as he opened his mouth revealing small glowing sphere at the back of his throat. Taking a deep breath he fired his breath attack which he called 'hellfire breath' at the lake resulting in a much larger explosion.

BOOOOOMMMMMM!

Much of the water flew into the air and was boiling hot, hot enough to boil anything in it. As the water settled down he let out a much needed sigh as his morning exercise was done.

"Phew, that was a good warm up." He said to himself wiping any water that might've got on him. "Now time to eat." with that he went back inside his house to make food for himself. After finishing making some fried pork chops and white rice he sat down on the table and turned the TV on. The screen then showed the evening news which most of it was everyday normal life, but the next article is what caught his eye.

Apparently it was talking about the revealing of the non-human species or as some people call them monster girls. The non-humans were kept hiding from the public by the world government, which suddenly decided to reveal the non-humans to the world.

Which was a big surprise for the whole world, for centuries there have been many tales, stories and legends of creature of the world. Creatures such as the lamias, centaurs, harpies, mermaids, arachne, minotaurs, dragons you name it they got it. When he was a boy Estevan took a great interest in these mythical creatures and wished that someday. He would be able to actually meet those creatures, and now his dream of meeting these creatures had become a reality!

The news was explaining that in order for peace between the humans and non-humans there was a cultural exchange program which would allow the non-humans live with a human family or "homestay" as they call them, in order to learn about human society. Rubbing his chin as he put his food down, Estevan was thinking about his one big chance to actually meet a non-human face to face.

"Hmmm, perhaps I should be a part of this program as well." With that he finished his food, cleaned his plate and grabbed his house phone and dialed the number which was seen on the screen.

A few minutes of waiting on the phone someone had finally answered him.

"Hello you have reached the Inter-Species Exchange hotline, this is Sayaka Kuchiki speaking, how can I help you?" A rather pleasant young woman answered him.

"Hello I was just calling about your add for the Inter-Species Exchange Bill, and I was wondering if I can sign up for the exchange." He said to the woman on the phone.

"Oh! You want to be a part of the exchange program? Why of course you can sir, please state your name, age and birth country."

"I'm Estevan Martinez 22 years old, born in California March 10 1994. I just moved to Japan four years ago Ms. Kuchiki."

"Thank you. Now if you please give me your phone number and address, and everything should be fine."

"Ok my number is 555-0173 and my address is 09631 35th avenue west. My house is in a forest near a lake you can't miss it."

"Ok that should be everything. Thank you for choosing the Inter-Species Exchange Bill, we'll have a coordinator call you in about three days from now. They'll be calling you for more information and your homestay student Mr. Martinez."

"Ok thanks a lot Sayaka thank you." He ended the call and hanged up. "Three days huh? Well I guess I should fix things up around here for my future guests."

And so Estevan began to clean everything around his house, inside and out. He repainted the walls, swept and mopped the floors, mowed his front and back yards made sure everything was presentable for when he receives his homestay. On the third day his phone was ringing, quickly rushing over he answered the call.

"Hello?" He spoke into the phone.

"Hello am I speaking to a Estevan Martinez?" a more matured woman asked through the phone.

"Yes this is he, may I ask who's calling?"

"My name is Smith, the Inter-Species Exchange facility called and said that you wish to be a part of the exchange program. Am I right?"

"Yes ma'am that's right."

"In that case I will be you coordinator for as long as you're a part of the program, I will be bringing your homestays by three weeks from now. I'll be sending a remodeling crew to help make your house bigger for your homestays."

"Thanks that means a lot since I finished preparing everything for them. Before I forget tell me, just who will be my housemates?"

"I have their names on my list here, your homestays are Miia the lamia, Kagura the ryu and Ryuko Matoi the basilisk. I hope their appearance won't discourage you."

"Oh no ma'am they won't at all, anyway thanks for letting me. I'll see them in three weeks. Bye." He hanged his phone up, and rubbed his chin. "Huh, a lamia, ryu and basilisk huh? This should be interesting."

He suddenly hear engine nose outside his house, looked through his window and saw four trucks driving close to his house. "Must be the remodeling crew Smith told me about." He went outside his door and walked up to a man who he presumes is in charge of the crew. "Are you Estevan Martinez?" The man asked him.

"Yes I am."

"My name is Daisuke Ichimonji, I'll be in charge of this crew as we help remodel your house to suit your homestay student." He explained to him, which Estevan smiled and gestured him at his house.

"Go right ahead!"

Daisuke nodded and turned to his crew. "You heard him boys, lets get work." With that the whole crew went inside and started to remodel and reshape Estevan's house, the process took about two weeks but on Sunday they managed to get everything done and ready for the homestay students. With the remodeling done and everything all cleaned up all Estevan had to do is wait for his three houseguests to come.

It was Thursday now and his homestay students should be arriving by 5:30 if what Smith told him on the phone. Right now it was 5:29 and they should be there any minute now. Then the sound of tires rolling on dirt and rock can be hears. Going to the door he saw a black ford mustang rolling up the front of the house, along with a semi truck behind it.

Walking out of the door Estevan stood before the car as the door opened and a tall beautiful and elegant woman, who was around his age or 24 years old, dressed in black agent type of uniform, with long wavy hair that stretched down her back. Black sun glasses over her eyes and wearing short heels.

Walking towards the woman before him Estevan stopped as did the woman. "Are you Estevan Martinez?" She asked him

Estevan nodded and stretched his hand out. "Yes I am."

Grabbing his hand she shook it returning the greeting. "Nice to meet you in person. My name is Kuroko Smith, I will be your cultural exchange coordinator for as long as you're apart of the program." She told him removing her glasses revealing her brown colored eyes.

"That's good to know." Estevan smiled and gestured at the truck. "I take it my house guests are in there?" Instead of answering him she looked to the driver of the truck and nodded at him. Getting the message he opened the back of the trailer and stepped aside as he lowered the ramp.

At first nothing was coming until Smith spoke out. "It's ok, there's no need to be shy now." With that the sound of movement was heard, and what Estevan saw left him speechless.

The first one to come out was a beautiful serpentine girl with pinkish red scales, hair and pointed ears. Her eyes were amber and slits like a snakes. She wore a light blue short sleeved coat over her dark blue shirt, wearing a short skirt jeans. And on her hair were two clips in the shape of a 'D'. From what he could tell she was about close to his age or a year younger than him, and she was being shy and nervous from what he can see.

The next one was another serpentine girl only she wasn't a lamia. Her scales were a nice shade of green with red fur running down her tail. She wore a green kimono with a sakura tree and it's leaves falling and a picture of a tidal wave beneath the tree. Her hair was the purest shade of silver he ever saw, her eyes were yellow gold, more dragon like than a snakes, and on her face were scales as well as pointed ears but they looked more like fins than ears.

On top of her heard were two short antlers facing backwards. On the sides of her face were the scales are were two long whip like whiskers with two golden balls attached at the end. And lastly her forearms rather than normal looking they were like the arms of a dragon but with five fingers like a human.

And finally the third one slithered out. Like the two before her she was also a serpentine, but she had jet black scales and a red scaly underbelly at the tip of her tail was red fur. Her face also had the same black scales and pointed ears. Her she mid-length black hair with a single left-swept red highlight on her bangs.

Her outfit was a simple white shirt with a red ribbon tie, a black miniskirt, and a black & white jacket with rolled up sleeves exposing her scaly black forearms with red fur and tipped claws. Her eyes were a blue color have peculiar gear-shaped pupils with eight grooves around the edges. From the way she held herself, having her arms crossed and the frown he saw he had to guess she was the tomboy of the three.

"Estevan Martinez may I introduce you, to your new homestays." Smith said started the introduction. "The first girl is Miia the lamia."

Said girl placed her hands together in front of her and bowed two him. "H-hello. It's nice to meet you." She greeted him with a slight timid voice.

"Beside her is Kagura Masaki, the ryu or Japanese dragon."

The second girl gave a gentle smile and bowed. "Hello, it is a pleasure to meet our new host family." Kagure told him. "I look forward to living with you, Danna-sama." She smiled at him which he returned the smile and nodded.

Clearing her throat Smith pointed at the final member of his new family. "And lastly this is Ryuko Matoi, the basilisk."

Ryuko however snorted and said to him. "Sup."

'Yeah definitely a tomboy.' Estevan felt a small sweat drop from the blunt greeting.

"Now that the introductions are out of the way, lets head inside so that we can continue further on your applications."

Estevan then lead Smith and the girls inside his house and sat near the table. Smith began to explain to him about the many things about the program since he was new to it things like the care and wellbeing of his homestay students, telling him that they are not to go out anywhere without their host family, things like that.

She even explained a few rules about him having his homestays the two biggest rules thus far were these; 1 the human or the non-human are not to harm one another, only for self defense which was necessary, should the host harm his or her homestays on purpose will be punished severely according to the Inter-Species Exchange Bill, and 2 sexual activities between the host and homestay student are strictly prohibited.

Any damage to the purity of the species' representative by human hands would present a diplomatic problem, should anyone cross the line. The human will be arrested and the representative will have to be deported back to their homeland.

"As you now know of these rules, I want to know if you'll abide these rules and cooperate with us and give us no trouble what so ever." She said to him eying him like a hawk, searching for any kind of trick or lie he might have. However he stood firm and did not flinch from her gaze.

"Ms. Smith you'll have my full cooperation. I understand fully about these rules and agree with them." He told her crossing his arm. "Besides I'd rather shoot myself than take advantage of these three lovely and beautiful girls who're in my charge." Miia and Kagura slightly blushed when he called them beautiful, Ryuko also had one but tried to hide it by turning away.

"More than that I respect women be they human or other wise. I'll protect anyone who lives in my house, as if they were my own blood." His declaration made both Miia and Kagura smiled and gazed at him with joy that someone would welcome them with open arms despite their appearance, Ryuko looked over her should though not impressed by him at first she gave a small smirk.

Smiling and nodding Smith clapped her hands together. "Good, that's all I wanted to know!" Reaching for her bag she pulled out a couple of papers and presented them to Estevan. "Now if you look over and sign these contracts, everything will be all set."

Soon Estevan went through the contracts reading everything that were printed on them, took a pen and signed each contract, filling everything that was required from him.

Taking the papers Smith looked over them nodded and humming to herself as she finished inspecting them. "Well everything appears to be in order." Stretching her hand out Estevan grabbed it and shook it. "Congratulations on becoming the first American host for the Inter-Species Exchange Bill in japan. And good luck with them." She flashed him a smile and thumbs up.

Just as she was about to leave she stopped and turned back at the young fire user. "Oh! Before I forget there's something I wish to give to you." Reaching in her bag once more she pulled out a large dark blue book of some kind and gave it to him.

Looking at the book he saw the title of the book and read out loud. "The Monster Girl Encyclopedia?" He and the girls looked at the dark haired coordinator with questionable expressions.

"Before the world government revealed the non-humans we had the time and opportunity to learn and study the non-humans so we created books like the one you have now. " She explained to them.

"Normally we don't hand out books like that but since you're the first American to be a hot here in japan we made an exception. It has all the information you need on all of the non-humans in there. Also you can use it as a request book to choose your next homestay if you desire. Well I gotta go now, I'll be stopping by every now and then to check up on you." She said making her way to her car.

"You girls be good and behave for your host ok? And try to keep your pants on Estevan." She said with a fox like smile and winked at him. With that she got in her car and drove off with the truck behind her.

Giving the retreating car a deadpanned expression Estevan sighed and closed the door. Looking back at his new housemates in total silence between them. He then breathed in and let out a sigh. "Well now, I suppose you're all hungry from your long journey right?"

The sound of grumbling stomachs from the three serpentine girls was all the answer he needed, which caused them to blush. "I'll take that as a yes. So you all sit down and I'll get dinner started.

The first two months with the girls was a bit difficult at first, but everything all worked out well. Ryuko wasn't exactly trusting of him at the beginning but with his actions and kindness he showed them he won her trust and became close friends with him. During their time with him they all found out about his burning skin and he explained his life story, and his new abilities.

Life was good for them mostly for Miia and her friends, since they knew that some humans would be scared of them at first glance but Estevan told them he loved reptiles of all kind. Yes life was indeed good for them and what awaits them in the future they'll have to wait and see.

(Present time.)

July 5th.

Smiling at the fond memories he had with his time with the girls Estevan sighed happily and placed the last plate on the table.

"You sure seem happy."

Smirking Estevan knew exactly who was in the living room. "Am I so obvious Smith?" There sitting at the table was Kuroko Smith his coordinator who brought the girls to him two months ago. Holding a cup of coffee.

"One would think so, Darling-kun." She said to him taking a sip of her mug.

"Just recalling the events two months ago. Looking through the fun times me and the girls had together." He told her grabbing an extra plate filling it with some of the food left over.

Putting her cup down and placing her hands together. She gave him a knowing look. "Aside from coming here for some breakfast, I'm sure you know why I'm here." She let out a dark aura around herself in an attempt to scare him a little.

Every time she visits his house to check on the girls she would always tease him, remind him about the rules and scare him. The constant teasing and reminded tend to make him annoyed with, but the scaring tactic didn't work out so well.

Like before he felt it but never flinched or shuddered. "I know why you're here Smith, the girls are doing fine, they're happy and no I did not hurt them or take their purity from them." He said to her handing her, her plate. Taking a fork and picked up a piece of pancake chewing it with bliss.

"I know, I know, I'm just making sure is all." She said sipping her coffee mug. Estevan took his seat across her waiting for the others to come. "So what exactly are you planning today?"

Swallowing his food and wiping his mouth Estevan told her that he promised to take Miia out for a date in town, which is not far and only a couple of walks away. His house had two roads one leading to a local town not very big but not to small either, while the other was leading to the city of Tokyo. He would often use his car to drive their fortunately Smith had a custom made car for him since he became a member of the Inter-Species Exchange program.

"Is that so? Well I hope you two have a good time then." She smiled taking a bite of her noodles.

"Trust me Smith I plan to make sure she gets a good time in town." Estevan assured her before sipping his Mt.

Dew drink. Soon the sounds of slithering were heard and coming into the living Room was Kagura Masaki the ryu. "Oh Danna-sama, Smith-chan. Ohayougozaimasu!" She greeted them and bowed.

From what Estevan learned about her Kagura followed the traditional ways of her home country Japan, she told him that her mother was a shrine maiden or miko. Through her she learned the ways of Japan and that she must honor the ways of her home country. Knowing that she was practically raise at a shrine Estevan told her that there was a shrine behind his home.

When he bought the land four years ago he explored his property to see what he might find, thus finding a stone stairway leading to an abandoned shrine. So when his houseguests came to his home he asked Smith if she could get some help cleaning and fixing the shrine so that Kagura could use it as much as she wants. "Morning Kagura good to see your up. Breakfast is ready."

"Hai!" Slithering to the table Kagura grabbed her chopsticks and clasped her hands together. "Itadakimasu!" She spoke out before digging into her food.

Then a loud yawn can be heard as Ryuko Matoi the basilisk slithered in stretching her arms over her head. Mumbling and scratching her head, she let out a simple "Morning." Before moving to the table.

"Oh! Ryuko-chan, ohayo." Kagura greeted her fellow housemate who took a seat beside her.

"Morning to you to, sleepy head." Estevan said to her. Her only response was a small yawn before grabbing her fork and biting into her hash brown.

Then the sounds of humming can be heard as Miia slithered in humming happily to herself. "Oh, hi Smith!" She greeting waving at the coordinator. Who returned the gesture. "Morning Miia. I trust you all are having a good time?"

Miia slither to the table and wrapped Estevan in a hug. "Of course we are!" She exclaimed rubbing against Estevan with a large smile. "Darling takes special care of us, always does everything he can to make us happy, and we do fun things together!"

Smith smiling and shaking her head at the lamia's affection for the young fire user. Putting her on her now empty plate and finishing her coffee, Smith got up and stretched. "Well seeing that everything here is alright, I'll be taking my leave then." She said putting her glasses back on and heading for the door. "I hope to see you again soon."

"Goodbye Smith-chan, you're always welcome at our home!" Kagura bowed to her while Estevan and Ryuko nodded. With that Smith took her leave leaving Estevan and his housemates continue their meal.

"So Bud what's on todays agenda?" Ryuko asked taking a bite of her sausage.

Taking a large sip of her drink Estevan said. "Well today I plan on taking Miia for a date today in town, after we get our chores here done though."

Miia with stars in her eyes nodded with sheer glee. "That's right! I can't wait to go out with Darling today!" She wrapped her arms around his next with a large smile.

"Oh! That's wonderful Miia-chan! I'll go and prepare yourself just before you leave." Kagura spoke with happiness that her fellow housemate and sister would be able to spend time with Danna-sama outside of their home.

Ryuko having a smirk she crossed her arms. "Hmph, about time Bud. Was wondering if you were going to ask her or one of us out or not." She teased him making him blush slightly.

"Come on Ryuko you know as well as I do, that I couldn't at first. Is because I wanted you all to settle down first, before doing things like that." Estevan berated her making her chuckle and wave lazily at him.

After finishing their food they got to work on their household chores, while the girls did the inside Estevan did the outside. Soon after that all the chores were done and Estevan got dressed in a black shirt with a red dragon on it, blue par of jeans and combat boots. He was waiting in the living room for Miia to come, tapping his foot on the floor.

"Danna-sama, she's ready!" Hearing Kagura call out he got up from the couch and stood speechless.

There was Miia wearing a white coat that was opened revealing a blue shirt underneath, wearing skirt jeans made for her and a black beret on her head. "Well? What do you think Darling?" She asked him giving a pose for him.

Smiling Estevan walked up to her and placed his hand on her cheek. "You look beautiful Miia." This earned him a blush and a hug from her. Breaking from the hug he stretched out his hand to her, and she took it. " You ready?" Miia nodded and then the both of them left through the door with Kagura and Ryuko waving at them.

Taking the road to the left they walked/slithered down the road leading to the town that was next door. Soon they came upon the town which was called 'Juno' it's a fairly big town that's on the country side outside of Tokyo.

Estevan usually goes to this town because it's not that big nor is it noisy, he never once liked any kind of cities, too many people, too crowded and too noisy. As soon as the duo got there Miia was greeted by the many sights of shops, restaurants, books stores, game arcades, hotels you name it they got it. Many of the people along with some non-humans walked about their daily life, either looking around, shopping or eating. In this town is where both humans and non-humans live together in harmony.

"Oh wow!" Miia's eyes sparkled at the sights before here, as she and Estevan walked on a sidewalk. Many of the people began to wave at the duo as Estevan waved back at them, years ago when he moved in their area he had started helping them throughout their town, doing whatever he could to help and earn some money.

Thus he became real quick friends with the local towns people. "Say Miia." Estevan said catching the snake girl's attention, "would you like to go and grab a bite to eat?"

Miia nodded smiling at the idea. "Sure Darling! I want to try what kind of food they have here!"

"Ok lets go."

Soon they found a local restaurant and ordered their food, to which Miia was in love with their food, then they went to an arcade played as many games they can, Miia trying the claw crane which earned her a snake plushy.

Then they went into a photo booth, which to some of the people was a bit comical considering Miia's tail was sticking out, Miia and Estevan did several poses for the camera. From doing silly faces, to love struck expressions to fierce looking ones.

They then went into a shop going through several clothes, as well as grabbing a few books, CDs and DVDs. For Miia it was the greatest date of her life!

"This is so much fun" She squealed with delight. "I always thought Japan was more formal, but it has a lot of fun places." In Miia's arms were a few bags she got from the local shop they went to, while Estevan carried the majority of them.

"Well I'm glade you liked your day Miia!" Normally before he became a member of the program Estevan would usually stay at home not going out much unless he wanted to, that was until Miia and the others came into his life. So their happiness came before his needs and he was happy that Miia is happy.

Soon they spotted a shop that was for all Inter-Species they went in which it turns out that the shop was a lingerie shop. Miia looked for some that was for lamia as well as for ryu and basilisk, since she promised Ryuko and Kagura to get them something when they get back.

For Miia she got herself a pink pair of underwear and bra, for Ryuko a jet black pair and a green pair for Kagura. With that said they exited the shop. "Thanks for getting me these Darling." Miia said holding her bag up, to which Estevan smiled. "Well I'm glad you liked them Miia."

Suddenly they heard laughter in front of them, looking forward they spotted a man and woman couple pointing and laughing at them. The man was wearing a black jacket with white tuff around the collar, purple shirt underneath the jacket, with cream colored jeans, dirty blonde hair a slight facial hair.

The girl was dark skinned with blonde hair tied up to a bun, wore a burgundy jacket, yellow shirt underneath, mid-length skirt and black skinny jeans. "Did you hear that? She called him 'Darling' how sick!" The man laughed like a hyena. "A snake girl calling a man her darling? That's seriously gross!" The girl spoke out as the duo laughed harder.

Miia was about to strike at them for badmouthing both her and Estevan, but Estevan stopped her and glared at the two. "Never would've thought I'd see you two again, Koga. Miki." He sneered at the two.

"Hmph! Never would've thought you'd be apart of that freak exchange program gaijin." The man Koga said with a sick grin. "But after all a freak like you would feel right at home, with them other freaks."

"Yeah freaks stick together after all." The both of them laughed once more, many of the people most of them non-human glared daggers at the duo. Miia was trembling at those two. How dare they call the non-humans freaks?! Least of all her Darling a gaijin?! Suddenly she felt the temperature began to rise up, and saw Estevan glowing red from his anger that was rising.

"The only freak I see is that woman you call a girlfriend Koga." The fire user snarled fire threatening to leak from his mouth wanting to burn them. "Where did you get her? At the local circus? I think they called and said that, they want the bearded lady's cousin back."

This immediately stopped their laughter and scowled at him, they would've talked back at him had he not intensified his glare making them freeze at their spot. Miia just watched on in total awe, never in her time living with Estevan had she seen him show such anger, sure he was annoyed with Smith and her teasing but never got angry at her.

Estevan snarled at them like a beast waiting for them to say anything that might invoke his wrath upon them, without saying anything Koga and Mika just took off in the other direction without so much a sideways glance. Knowing that those two were gone Estevan let out a much needed breath and calmed was a little concerned for him so she put her hand on his shoulder.

"Are you ok. Darling?" Turning to face her with those red fire-like eyes looking into her amber eyes, he softly smiled at her.

"Yeah. I'm fine." He told her rubbing her cheek. "We still got plenty of time on our hands, lets forget about what happened and make the most for it."

Silently she nodded and the two continued with their date, Estevan was hoping that incidents like those two wouldn't happen as to ruin their day, but sadly it was for naught. He just wanted Miia to be happy not see people like Koga and Miki ruin it for her.

Miia was deeply hurt by their words, mostly for Estevan knowing what he went through as a child Miia and her friends swore they would do anything to make him happy. So before they could leave for home, Miia wanted to take Estevan somewhere where she could help him forget about what happened today.

Walking out of a candy shop Estevan checked his phone and saw it was 5:30. "Heh, how time flies." He said putting his phone back. " Well we best be heading for home now, lets go Miia." As he took three steps Miia grabbed his hand stopping him in his tracks. Looking back at her he saw her with her head down, her eyes shadowed by her hair. "Miia?" He said wondering what's wrong with her. "Miia, you ok?"

Squeezing his hand she spoke out. "Before we go home. There's someplace I want us to go."

Before he could say anything Miia took the lead dragging him with her. After some time of walking/slithering they made it to their destination a place Estevan hoped they'd never set foot in. A hotel, not just any hotel but a love hotel.

When Smith would make her recent check ups on the girls she and Estevan would often talk to one another, during these talks Smith would always tell him that when he is out and about with any of the girls in his care.

That he under no circumstances is to take any of them to a love hotel, doing so would get him in trouble and have the girls sent back home.

"A love hotel?!" Estevan said dumbstruck at this. "Miia why did you want to come here? You know we can't..." Instead of answering she dragged him inside the building.

Miia wordlessly dragged Estevan further into the hotel, she knew what she was doing was very risky and could very well get her Darling thrown in jail and her deported back home, but she was willing to take that risk. If it would take away Estevan's bad memories, then she would gladly take that risk.

As they came near to a wall of monitor screens of various rooms, she was about to press a button to get a card for a room for them, when Estevan grabbed her wrist and pulled her away. "Miia! What the hell you're doing?" He asked demanding why she would want to come to a love hotel of all places!

"B-because." She stuttered trying to find the right words. "Because I just want to help you." Her words made him confused. "When we encountered those two, they said mean things. Horrible things, calling you a freak and worse a gaijin!" Her hands started to tremble as tears began to flow from her face.

Looking back at him with teary eyes she continued. "Those two just don't understand the pain and hardships you went through, you've done so much for me, Ryuko and Kagura. And never asking anything in return." Stopping to wipe her eyes and nose.

"So when they called you those things, I knew they would've brought back painful memories." She said to him giving a determined expression. "So I wanted to bring you here, hoping that I can help you and give you happier memories. I know what I'm doing is risky and downright dangerous, but if it's to help you, then I'm willing to lose my virginity to you."

She moved closer and hugged him tightly rubbing her face in his burning chest. "I'm doing this because I love you. Darling."

Silence fell upon the two, none of them moving or saying anything. Sighing Estevan gently grabbed her chin and made her face him. "Miia, I appreciate what you're trying to do for me and I thank you. But we can't do things like this."

She was about to protest until Estevan stopped her. "And it's not just about the law either. True I did go through some bad times, but being with you, Kagura and Ryuko has helped me move passed those memories. My needs come second, while you and the other's needs come first and for most." He told her stroking her face.

"But even if the law did allow that kind of thing, it's still to early for us. So until they say otherwise we can't go and do things like that. What we were doing just now, our date was all I need, and to see you happy makes me happy." He smiled at her causing her to blush and smile back at him.

They stood in silence once again till they heard clapping. Looking where it came from, they froze at their spot. It was Smith walking towards them clapping for some reason. "I must say, that was an impressive speech there you had, Darling-kun."

Stopping before them and stopped clapping. "But I'm afraid this can't be allowed you know. I distinctly told you, that you're not to bring any of the girls under your care to a love hotel did I not?" A menacing aura was around her, making Miia tremble in fear but Estevan stood firm.

"Now before you go and do anything Smith, this wasn't my idea to begin with!" He told her, deciding to hear his part of the story she gestured him to continue.

"Just when we were coming out of a shop we ran into some punks who were making fun of us, so I chased them off. Miia did what she thought would help erase any bad memory I had as a child, so she brought me here hoping to make it all go away." Crossing his arms as he stared down the agent. "So I already talked to her, and made everything clear till you came along. By the way how did you know we were here?"

Fixing her glasses and clearing her throat. "I received a phone call from an anonymous caller, telling me that an American and lamia were coming here, so I figured you were actually going to break one of the rules you know of."

This caught Estevan and Miia's attention. Someone was ratting them out to Smith? But who? Suddenly a familiar laugh was hear at the door thus they turned and saw that it was Koga and Miki standing there, seeing a cell phone in Koga's hand Estevan put the pieces together and snarled. "So it was you two?!"

"That's right you dumb shit. Did you really think we'd let you insult us and walk away? I think not." Koga sneered at the American who had the gall to insult him and his girl.

"Yeah I mean after all, who'd really want to have sex with a snake whore like her? You two freaks really deserve each other, I hope your brats are as ugly as you two." Both Miki and Koga howled in laughter finally thinking they'd got their payback from earlier.

Miia was trembling in anger for those two really pushed her too far, Smith was about to apprehend them when suddenly the air around them got really hot. Miia and Smith looked and gasped as they saw Estevan surrounded in red flaming aura, eyes glowing red teeth bared and lengthened and sharpened. His skin was sizzling as steam was emitting from his body.

Without warning he literally flew across the room and gave a hard left hook right into Koga's face, the force of the punch sent both Koga and Miki flying and crashing threw the door. Miia and Smith were awestruck at this.

Groaning holding his now bleeding nose, Koga was about to retort back at Estevan but his words died in his mouth. Another aura surrounded the fire user as an large figure materialized above him. There before all to see was a dark abyssal skinned monster, that was built like a tank, with the same burning skin on it's chest and biceps, small spikes on his shoulders and collar bones. Hair that was almost like fire flowed across it's being against a nonexistent, mouth full of razor sharp teeth with fire that seemed to glow at the back of the mouth. Two large pointed horns curved forward like a bulls horns, pointed ears and eyes burning like hot magma glared down at the two before it.

Both Koga and Miki were terrified beyond belief as the smiley mouthed demon before them loomed menacingly over them, fire blazing around it's being and emitting a deep rumbling growl. Miia and Smith were speechless, never had they seen Estevan this angry to actually make this, this demon before them. Growling deeply Estevan made his way at the cowering couple who were shaking uncontrollably.

Leaning closer till he was face to face with them he ushered one word to them. "Run." His voice so deep and inhuman it was as if he was a demon. Which was enough to make the duo run away screaming in terror. With them gone he closed his eyes calming himself down, and getting rid of his intimidation.

After that incident at the hotel Estevan, Miia and Smith went back to his house Smith cleaning his hand which had minor cuts. "I must say, that was very impressive what you did back there, if a little terrifying." She said rubbing his hand with anti bacterial swabs.

"I couldn't just let them continue badmouthing Miia like that. So I did what always done. Stopping anyone who would make her cry." He told her which made her smile.

"By the way what will you do to those two Smith?"

"Oh don't worry I'll be having a little chat with them when I get back." She said letting out a creepy grin and chuckle. "Anyway I best be going now. You take care of yourself, Darling-kun."

She exited the living room heading down the hall which Miia, Kagura and Ryuko were hiding. When they got back home Miia told them about what happened on their date, Ryuko was pissed off by those two humans and wanted nothing more than to beat the shit out of them.

However she was very impressed when Estevan stood up and punched and scared them so badly she just wished she was there to see it. Kagura was very thankful to Danna-sama for sticking up to those vulgar people and was even more in love with him. Smith knowing what they wanted gestured them to go in.

So they did and saw Estevan staring down at his hand. "Darling you ok?"

This made him look up to see his housemates. "Yeah I'm fine just a little tired from today."

"You after you scared the shit out of those two punks, eh bud?" Ryuko said teasing him about scaring those two jerks.

"I am forever thankful that you did the right thing and stood up for Miia-chan Danna-sama." Kagura beamed with joy.

Miia slithered towards Estevan who looked at her wondering what she wanted, she leaned in and gave a kiss on his left cheek. Pulling away she smiled seeing the blush on his face, much to Ryuko's and Kagura's shock and dismay. "That's a thank you kiss, for looking out for me. Darling!" She beamed at him.

Suddenly she was pushed out of the way by Kagura. "Miia-chan, how could you?!" She exclaimed glaring at the lamia. "I was supposed to be the one to kiss him!"

"Like hell you are!" Ryuko retorted butting her away from Estevan. "The only one who gets to kiss him is me!" She hissed at the ryu. Which Kagura snarled at her fellow housemate eyes slitted dangerously at the basilisk.

"AS IF!" Miia shouted knocking both Ryuko and Kagura down. "DARLING IS MINE AND MINE ALONE!" All Estevan could do was just sit there and watch as his housemates fought each other over him.

Chuckling he looked out his window staring at the night sky. "Heh it certainly is a daily adventure with monster girls."

Getting up from the couch he moved to the kitchen to prepare dinner for himself and the girls while they still fought each other over him.

Life was good indeed.

Finally I got this done. This is my first Monster Musume story, after seeing it last year in summer I've been wanting to do one myself. With this out of the way I can now focus on doing my Mega Man story. There will be more monster girls coming in so keep a look out for more chapters. And yes Ryuko Matoi from Kill La Kill is in this story, when I came up with this story I pictured her as a serpentine girl so I went with her as a basilisk. And Sastuki will be in this story too but in a later date. Later.
