I look at her confused and begin to move around the classroom checking the desks, behind bookcases and books, I even check the Dry-erase board and the chalkboard. "What are you doing?"

"Looking for hidden camera's or some other Mamono trying to hide somewhere, because a Manticore just asked to cuddle with me and I was sure as hell that I was about to get raped on the spot."

"I WOULDN'T DO THAT!" I Quickly rush over to her and cover her mouth and realize just how close I am to her and jump back. "Sorry about that."

"Ok now I'm really confused, why are acting so innocent all of a sudden."

"As I said I was talking to Bessie the Holstaur, and I li...like you I don't want to rush you into something like a relationship or anything of the sort unless you want to, what I'm trying to say is that I don't want to lose you to some other Mamono before the Ken leaves the school."

I just stand there staring at her, she can't be serious. "Why me?"

"Because I like you and with Ken leaving us all soon I wanted to keep you safe and maybe the two of us could become a couple." She blushes at that, if my mind wasn't already screeching to a halt at the moment this would have thrown me for a loop. "So can we please..." she gulps and looks up at me. "...cuddle please?"

Every part of me is telling me to stay back, but my mind is saying what's the worst that could happen? I walk up to her and hug her, so far so good this isn't so bad she then wraps her arms around me and rest her head on mine being a foot taller than me. "Ok this isn't so bad but I am curious why are you acting so nice?"

"My mom's an Echidna and I have several older sisters that are more of the docile types of Mamono and I kind of take after them, me being a Manticore and all I do have those other tendencies as well." I feel her tail prod against me. "Sorry instinct."

As we're standing there cuddling the door bursts open and in walks Kenith. "I see you're already trying to make a move while my guard was down, it's a good thing some of the guys told what was going on, I mean look at him you're choking him with your chest." When she realizes that I can't breathe she quickly lets go.

"Thanks for letting me go." I look up at her then to Kenith. "This isn't what you think it is I swear, yes she did ambush me..."

"I knew it, I guess I'm going out with a manticore hide as a gift."

"WILL YOU LISTEN DAMNIT!?" I yell out catching the both of them off guard. "Before I was rudely interrupted, I was saying that she did ambush me but she wasn't trying to make a move on me, I'm the one that hugged her not the other way around."

"I'm sorry about that, but if what you say is true then I won't have to worry about this school going downhill, but I will need you to keep a look out for him, I trained the next group of juniors that are going to be seniors when I leave to keep this place safe from the more aggressive ones, but since it looks like you two are a couple I must apologize." He leaves after that.

"That happened." I quickly get bearhugged from behind and I can hear her purring. "Are you purring, that is so adorable."

She let me go and kisses me. "You may be my boyfriend now but you must never tell anyone about me purring you understand I have a reputation to uphold if anyone sees us in the halls or anything and I drag you off to the side or something act like I'm bullying you or something."

"I understand, but what to keep the other Mamono off of me?"

She rushes over to a desk and grabs out a charm. "Mother put a special spell on it that allows me to know where you are and to keep other Mamono away from you, should also serve as a warning to any other girls that try to make a move on you."

I take the charm and place it in my wallet. "Thanks, now to play the part." I cough and step out of the door and see Kenith standing by the door he shoves me back inside followed by a Leanan Sidhe comes flying in behind him. "What's going on?"

"Need to make it look real, Amber do your thing." The Leanan Sidhe flies over to the Manticore.

"Ok, this is going to be fun, by the way, what's your name dear?"

"Rachel?" she kinda of says and ask.

"Ok, Rachel we need to make it look like he beat you up so hold still." The little fairy goes to work and faster then I can imagine Rachel looks like she got beat up in a nasty fight. "There all done, I must say I am good."

"Alright you two, you go first and run out, I leave with Amber in my pocket so no one notices her and Rachel put on your best limp and stumble out." Seeing the plan unfold before our eyes we all agree and leave like he said.

After Highschool Rachel and I moved in together for school and other reasons after we got our degrees from college, we began raising our family even though we already had a daughter before we entered college.
