Martin's love twist V2

chapter 1

The story is going to be revised yes, but the old one will still be around for about...I'm gonna say five days before getting taken off.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

-Torrington Academy-

The sun was shining and the birds sang as everything seemed ok in the world. That was until something disturbed it. A boom box. A very loud one at that.

Martin snapped his fingers while holding the machine with one hand and was enjoying himself. "Now this is the best single all year round!"

Even if he enjoyed it no one else did because, ironically, it was an old Jessica Black song and it annoyed the fuck out of them as some covered their ears and others were banging their heads against anything solid.

'What's their deal?' Martin thought before seeing a girl with glasses and red hair sitting on a bench. He went wide eyed before changing the music to some romantic polka music. He checked his breath which didn't smell too bad and walked over while she turned towards him. "Hey there good lookin, whatcha got cookin?"

"What?" She asked confused.

"You know." He said with a grin.

She frowned and stood up. "If you're trying to hit on me you already failed. Next time try sticking to music that's actually good."

"Huh?"

"Look you're nice, but god you must be desperate into getting a girl." She frowned. "I mean I'm a fucking lesbian yet you still want to try that shit on me? God you are the most idiotic, spineless, shit covered, hell fucking, mother humping asshole I ever seen! And I've seen men that didn't look like a fucking asshole with no style at all, and if you have a brain you better back off or just die like a little bitch!" she turned and walked off while Martin felt that one really hit him in the gut.

She turned and gave him one last comment. "If you want a girl go fuck yourself!"

Martin dropped the box and fell on his ass while anyone passing by winced in sympathy while Martin tried to keep it together since that was harsh.

"Wow...I was expecting a slap or rolled eyes, but….wow." He muttered while feeling tears down his face.

That was when Diana walked by and saw his depressed state. "Martin? Are you feeling alright?"

"Oh hi Diana." He said sadly. "I'm fine...real fine."

She frowned and sat down beside him while noticing the tears. "Are you crying?"

"Crying? I'm not crying." He said as the tears continued to run down his face. "I'm just sweating really hot out today he he...he…...he."

"Martin, let's go to your room and talk, ok?"

He nodded weakly as Diana helped him up and started to walk towards the school.

(In the room)

"So tell me what happened Martin."

He sighed and looked down at the floor while wiping the tears away. "I tried hitting on another girl, and she….well let's just say her rejecting me was worst than the others."

"What? It can't be all bad."

He sighed before telling her all the things she called him back in full detail.

"...wow. That's harsh."

"Diana, am I really that bad?"

"Well….look, let me give you the short version. I wouldn't say you're a lady's man, but you are outgoing and incorrigible, but you do kinda...get overconfident and cocky when you try to hit on them."

"Oh...so that's it." He said while feeling even more depressed. "Diana, should I swing the other way?"

"No!" she spoke up before covering her mouth. "I mean, let me rephrase that. Don't suddenly go for guys unless that's who you are, not just because you can't get a girl. Maybe you should just try to tone down the arrogance and stop acting like you're everything a girl wants. Be yourself, and if a girl doesn't like it, then they just weren't the one for you."

Martin sighed while considering that. "I'll try but I feel like girls won't be talking to me for years."

"Well not many of them are fans of video games, comics, or all that paranormal stuff. Maybe you could try girls away from Torrington, there's hundreds of them out there after all. And besides, you managed to meet a girl when we were taken away by our shadows, remember?"

"Oh yeah, but that didn't turn out well." He sighed. "Plus I'm still nervous about the paris incident." he shivered while rubbing his neck.

"Well if you can manage to get a girl when we were trapped, and one who was into you because of your ancestor, then that goes to show that you do have a chance, you just gotta try a different way at it."

"Like what?"

"Like try toning down the confidence. Don't act like you know everything, just be confident you can ask a girl out, and learn to pick up subtle hints. Like if they're frowning and don't look interested, it might mean you're not catching their attention."

"Huh, that's not a bad idea." He said with hope. "But who would go out with me? I mean I've tried and failed with girls more often than hunting monsters."

"Maybe start small instead of trying to get popular girls, like someone with a good heart and maybe has the same interests as you."

"Mmm….like you Diana?" He asked. "I mean I don't mind going out on a practice date something and that stuff."

"Um, maybe someone else." she replied with a blush. "I mean, it'd be sorta weird with your step sister."

"Good call." he shuddered. "But then who? Cause before you say anything, Java and Billy aren't gonna work."

"I wasn't thinking that." She sweatdropped. "But maybe Mom might know."

"Maybe, or maybe not." he sighed covering his face. "Maybe I should just become a hermit."

"You wouldn't last a day."

"I can so live as a hermit!"

"Without your monster magazines and movies?"

"I'll stock up on hundreds of copies beforehand."

"Martin." She sighed before hearing the U-Watch beeping.

He groaned and plopped on the bed. "Can you get it? I'm not really in the mood."

Diana sighed while turning it on.

"Diana? What are you doing on this line?" Spoke Mom on the other end.

"Martin is in a bad mood so he asked me to answer."

"Oh well I was going to tell him I have an important assignment for him but if he doesn't want to I could hand it over to Marvin-"

"What is it?" he cut her off with interest.

"It's a simple mission, but I need you at the Center, alone." She said while surprising the two. "You'll get the rest of the mission when you enter the Center." the call then hung up.

"That was weird." remarked Diana.

"For once I kind of agree with you." He said while very confused. 'I wonder what that was about?'

(Sometime later)

We find Martin looking around the room for a portal and yet not finding one at all. "Ok where is that portal?" he then noticed a portal on the ceiling. "There you are."

One problem, it was a little smaller then normal.

"Maybe I should get a chair?" He muttered before grabbing a chair and jumped up on it before stretching towards it. "Still too far." He then grabbed a pillow and put it under his chair and found he was able to get his arm inside it. "Alright, one, two, three, heave!"

-Center-

He jumped before finding himself stuck in between the portal. "Crap."

"Need a hand there?" asked Billy hovering over.

"A little." He said while grabbing Billy's hands.

He grunted before getting Martin out and accidentally causing him to fly into a slime alien.

"Grug glook?" It said before spitting Martin out.

"Ew." He groaned while wiping the slime off. "I'm all for slime, but not right now."

"I take it you're in a bad mood?"

"No, just a bad day." he replied before they headed to the office. "Any idea why Mom called me?"

"Huh? That's new to me." Billy said in surprise. "I thought you came by to say hi."

Martin blinked as the office doors opened as it was dark as a cave at night. He walked in and looked around. "Um, Mom?"

No one answered.

"That's odd she never leaves the lights off, ever." Billy said before getting grabbed by the mouth by an unknown person and dragged into the darkness.

"Yeah, it's pretty...weird?" he saw Billy was gone and grew nervous. "Mom? You in here?"

No answer.

He gulped while walking through the darkness before a light turned on to see Mom on the table with blood on her neck. "A-AH!"

That was when the lights turned on and Mom got up from the table. "Surprise!"

"H-Huh?!" He gasped while looking like her just entered another plane of reality.

"What's wrong Agent Martin? Usually you enjoy these kinds of jokes." she remarked wiping the fake blood off with a cloth.

"But...you…" he shook his head. "Sorry but I'm not in the mood for jokes, especially with death."

"Huh, I see." She said with a raised eyebrow. She sat down while dimming the lights down a little. "Well just try to upbeat because the mission here is something I picked personally for you to handle."

"What is it?" He asked with a sigh. 'I hope it's not Antarctica.'

"I need you to try and help someone out for a new program the Centers trying to get started."

"What's that exactly?"

"The Interspecies program." She said. "It's one of those programs that's not really working due to several reasons including things that I won't bore you with the details."

"Um, ok?"

"The short version is like this. Since you know aliens exist, imagine this program as their way to try and work their way into human life for better and easier lives. This also applies to any other mythical or supernatural beings who are sapient enough to keep from going wild. Meaning we'd have someone like an agent work with them to help them ease into human life to keep themselves secret and blend in with people with ease. In a way it's like that one movie. What was it called? Men in White?"

"Men in Black and didn't they mind wipe and cause more problems than anything else?"

"Technically yes, and trust me, the real Men Black aren't that easy to beat." she smirked before frowning. "Point is, before the program can take off, the higher ups need proof that at least one being can get through this and blend in. That's why I'm picking you to help the creature understand the rules here on Earth."

Martin blinked before asking. "Question, what kind is it? I mean I don't want some killer wasp alien or a Dalek after me."

"None of that." she shook her head. "For starters I said sapient, meaning a killer wasp wouldn't cut it. As for Dalek, we don't have any, at least none that wouldn't stick around." 'Damn self destruct modes, they keep blowing holes up in the cages.'

'I really don't want to know what goes on here.' "Ok so who is it?"

"You'll know when you see her." she hit a button on her desk. "Send her in."

"Yes ma'am." Spoke a voice in the speakers as the floor opened to reveal a large cylinder of iron as it opened up with smoke shooting out.

"And try to be calm and rational, she's been rather cooped up." remarked Mom as the cylinder slowly turned towards Martin.

He went wide eyed as he saw the Siren, but in her human form and looking a little older, about two years older by the looks of it, while looking like she was in a deep sleep. "W-What?!"

"Don't yell too loud, that glass covers only so much sound."

"Sorry but why is she here?"

"That's simple, she's the one you're assigned to."

He looked at the siren and was floored. "Wait, but don't you remember what happened to the last guy she was with? It wasn't exactly a happy ending."

"Yes, and for his actions he has been punished enough." 'Especially when he's in a unknown jail for the insane.' "But at this moment it would be best if someone else help her overcome her past and into the modern era."

"Um, is she even aware of it?" he asked poking the glass.

"Yes but I never told her who she was assigned to. Especially when she agreed not to harm anyone else in exchange for an undisclosed agreement." 'One that allows her to rip off Roff's cock with a rusty spoon.'

"But wait, you want me to try and get her to adapt to Torrington? You do realize how crazy school can be right?"

"Isn't that normal for a mythological seducer from greek mythology that kills with their songs?" she raised an eyebrow. "Compare that with school and school is a walk in the park. And you don't even wanna know what school life was like for me."

Martin tried to counter but couldn't find it. "Um….I got nothing."

"Good, now hang on." she moved over and pushed a button on the side which caused small fans to blow on the girl. "Give it a sec."

The girl groaned while sniffing the air. "Ugh…..tuna…fish."

"Don't move around too much, it'll be uncomfortable." Mom spoke while holding down a button on the side.

"Huh….?" She groaned while opening her eyes. "Is it...lunch yet?"

"No, it's time to wake up."

She slowly looked around before seeing Martin. "...YOU!"

"Um...hi?" he spoke up awkwardly before seeing her try to thrash around inside.

"I'll kill you! You bastard!"

ZAP!

"Ahh!" she cried out as the cylinder shocked her. "What the hell?!"

"A tesla coil, amazing what you can do with one especially when it's the entire cylinders power source." Mom said while holding a lever. "Now I'm not gonna repeat myself. Take a deep breath and calm down."

"But he put me here!"

"Did you forget our agreement already? You would not harm anyone in exchange for that favor."

She grumbled at that while calming down. "Damn it all."

"Now listen. Martin here will be your advisor, and you will stick to the rules set in the program."

"Fine." She sighed. "But if he try's to flirt then I'm out."

"I'm not going to." Martin said. "Not after today."

They looked confused at that while surprised at that statement.

"Look, let's just say it's one of those days and leave it at that." He said while sounding melancholy.

"Ok?" The Siren said with confusion.

"So this is how it's gonna go." spoke Mom. "For starters, introduce yourselves formally."

"Ladies first." Martin said while trying to be polite.

"Hyohime Fujiwara." She said in a monologue tone.

"That sounds like it's from Japan."

"My father was human and my mother was a siren, I was born in 1901 in Kyoto. Nothing special." she shrugged. "Now you."

"Martin Mystery, human with a vampire ancestor, nothing much."

"...that's fucked up."

'How do you think I felt? I was one of them!' he yelled in his mind while staying cool. "You have no idea."

"So you're not going to suck my blood?" She asked with sounding a little pessimistic.

"No."

"Good, vampire are just creepy in my opinion."

"Well excuse me for being one!" he frowned while crossing his arms. 'Not my fault.'

"No need to get mad at...wait? You were one?"

"Agent Martin was turned into one by his ancestors lover, who was a vampire apparently, during a mission in paris."

"...wow. Just wow."

"Point is, he's one of my agents with the most experience out in the field while still keeping a normal life. That's why he'll be the one to help you adjust to a human life. Any questions?"

"One, why him? Doesn't he have anything else to do like a girlfriend or something?"

Martin snapped at that. "How about you stop with that! After all I'm a…" he listed everything off at this point and caused some of the workers outside the room to blush at the profanity. After some seconds he stopped and breathed heavily. "So...stow it!...birdbrain."

"..."

"..."

"...I may be harsh but I'm not going to try making your life hell for a bitches colorful language on you, stupid teme."

He frowned and turned his back to her. "I don't know what that means, but I'm not gonna stand here getting lectured by someone who can't even get over an old crush."

"I did!" She growled. "And I'll have you know it wasn't you I was referring to but the one that told you all that shit!" 'Roff, you child of an oni!'

"Well it might make more sense if you were more clear."

"I can't help it, I have a tendency to speak both japanese and english." She frowned. "And while I find this annoying I wouldn't try to hurt you like that. Especially, if I know you're flirting, tried to get a girlfriend."

"Alright you two, that's enough." spoke Mom. "The Center has made a fake birth certificate to help her with a back ground, along with fake parent names, but clothing and supplies will have to be bought yourselves to help work as a practice run."

"Wait if he's going to be my advisor is he going to be shopping with me?"

"That's correct, he's going to keep you in his line of sights, even for clothing."

"That's ridiculous!"

"Don't worry, he's not an ero."

"...I hope not."

"Ero?"

"It means pervert."

"Well of course not." he frowned. "Even I have standards."

"Like you and bad music?" Mom slightly teased.

"Hey! I happen to like polka and video game music!"

"Video games?" Hyohime asked confused.

"You can learn all about it later." spoke Mom while the glass on the cylinder slid down.

She fell down while landing on her face. "Ow! That hurts you baka!"

"Walk it off."

Hyohime grumbled before seeing Martin extended his hand.

"I just wanted to help that's all."

'Huh? He's not acting like before...that bitch must have done a number on him.' she thought while letting him help her up. "Thanks, you're not a teme like before."

"Yeah I know but people change, and so can you." he replied. 'Even though I don't know what that word means.'

She smiled at that. "Maybe I can trust you, but let's see if you can prove it?"

"Enough you two." Mom said while pinching her nose. "You can discuss this later, but for now I want you two to get clothes before the days done."

"Well isn't what she's wearing fine?" asked Martin.

"That's her skin, all organic by nature."

"Wait, really?" he looked at the white clothe. "But it looks real."

"Yes, however if you can touch it it's just feathers and skin. Her species use this when they're not killing sailors but if someone were to touch it they would become sensitive like a cat's whiskers."

Martin blushed a little at that since he was kind of close to her the last time they met. "Oh….sorry Hyohime."

"It's fine, you didn't do anything like that before...even if it was kind of creepy." she frowned. "Really who flirts with someone who they put in a container?"

"Yeah sorry about that one, I was kind of in your spell and well yeah let's let that one be bygones ok?"

"...alright. But I have my eyes on you like a horny tengu." she warned with narrowed eyes.

"Crystal clear." He said before asking. "So ready to get you some clothes?"

"I am." She said before a portal appeared underneath both. "WAAH!" they both screamed while Mom smiled.

"I'm going to enjoy this." She smiled while the portal disappeared.

(With them)

They dropped into a store closet while getting squashed by the tight walls.

"Oof! Why are we being squished?" groaned Hyohime.

"Because we're in a closet." He said annoyed. "Why did Mom do that to us?!"

"To be a pain." she groaned while trying to move.

"I personally hope that no one thinks this is a makeout session."

"That would be embarrassing." She grumbled before reaching for the door handle and turned it. They both fell out onto the floor with a wince.

"Ow." Martin groaned while feeling the floor. "Thanks."

They stood up while noticing the store wasn't that filled and it was all women's style.

"That's convenient." Hyohime blinked in surprise. "I hope they have all large."

"You're a large?"

"Yes."

'Looked like a medium to me.' He thought while he saw her look around.

"Wow this stuff is nothing like the ones fifty years ago." She said while holding a bra with nothing but holes on it. "And it's a G cup too!"

Martin blushed and looked away. "Yeah well, lots of stuff improved." 'There's NO way she's that size, she's probably just surprised we have it.'

Hyohime smiled before taking some G sized bras and some panties. 'I love this time!' She then grabbed some shirts and pants and ran towards the changing room.

Martin blushed and tried to keep focus. 'Or that white stuff can hide her chest. Which is A LOT. But-NO! No! Don't think about it, just make sure she doesn't attract attention and pay attention if she asks for my opinion on something. If those sitcoms have taught me anything it's that girls like want to hear positive stuff.'

"Hey Martin." She called out. "Can you help with my bra strap?"

His face turned red as he tried to take deep breaths. "Um, I-I don't think I should. I mean, that's kinda...a girl thing."

"You're the advisor, so you're expected to help me."

"But don't you feel embarrassed?" he asked while trying to keep from getting any perverted thoughts.

"No since you didn't try anything before, plus if you close your eyes I'll not punch you. Deal?"

Martin sighed before resigning to his fate while walking to the changing room. He was then pulled into the booth by Hyohime.

"Thanks now close your eyes now."

He quickly shut them and tried to get a feel for his surroundings. He then felt the fabric and clipped it. "There, all done."

"Thank you, really having a very big chest is annoying when it comes to human clothing."

"So….you're really that big?"

She blushed at that. "Uh….well actually yes, but it's natural for all sirens, not just me."

"Really? But you were small before."

"The feathers covered most of my size, it's easy for people to get confused by that." She gulped. "Like my mother was twice the size yet people thought she was a C cup."

Martin's eyes widened while momentarily picturing an older Hyohime with a chest that size before quickly shaking his head. 'No! Don't think about it! Even though it sounds amazing!'

Hyohime put a shirt on while Martin tried not to think about breasts again. After a while she said. "You can open them."

He did and was surprised to see her wearing a white shirt with a raven on it and a pair of tight jeans with holes on the knees and sides. 'Wow, that shirt can really hide most of them, she looks like a B size.'

"So is this good enough or should I try another outfit?"

"Well it does look good, but it couldn't hurt to check around for others." 'Wow do I wanna see her in a tank top!' thought the more perverted part of his head.

Hyohime nodded before frowning. "But no peeking or I'll peck your eyes out."

"Scouts honor." he held his hands over his heart and up.

'Yeah right.'

(Several outfits later)

"This is the last one." She said while wearing a blue tank top that didn't cover her stomach with a black skirt which reached to her knees. "So it's nice?"

He nodded while wide eyed and quickly averted his eyes to try and quickly keep from grinning like an idiot. 'I'm the luckiest guy in the world!'

"Well?" She asked putting her hands on her hips.

"Big time."

She smiled a little. "At least you're honest, unlike some people."

"Thanks."

"But if your eyes keep staring too long I'll show you what my talons can do."

"I wasn't trying to." He blushed. "I mean, I'm not tempted to look unless you ask first." 'Even if they are kind of nice...no! Don't think that stuff!'

"Well the only thing left is to pay for all this and you can show me where I'll be staying."

Martin nodded before closing his eyes to let her undress and put the new clothes into a neat pile. They then got out and headed towards the register. As he reached in to get out his wallet, he saw it was near empty. 'Aw man! I forgot I already spent my allowance on that last monster kit.'

"Let me guess you forgot about getting cash." Hyohime sighed.

"No." he cleared his throat and saw the employee was a girl and tried acting suave. "I'm sorry, but I think I forgot my real wallet at home. Can we give you an IOU?"

"No." she said bluntly. "And if you're hitting on me, I'm married."

He gulped while Hyohime raised an eyebrow and was about to give up before a man in a black suit and sunglasses moved over and handed the woman a card.

"Check this, you'll see it has more than enough credits on it for these items."

"Oh." She said while looking at the card before ringing it up. "Your total is $400.10. Want a receipt?"

"No they won't." spoke the man while pulling out two shades and handed them to Martin and Hyohime while pulling out a small metallic device. "I must ask you two to put those on."

They blinked before putting them on.

FLASH!

The woman's pupils shrunk as the man put the device away.

"You were having a normal day ringing customers up with nothing special going on. You are going to go on with your day and have a fun and loving evening with your husband."

She shook her head while getting back to work.

"Come with me you two." he whispered before walking out of the store.

Martin and Hyohime blinked in confusion while walking out of the store.

The man lead then towards an alleyway before stopping. "Are you two aware of who I am?"

"The shades, suit, and memory changing device, you're a Man in Black!" spoke Martin with a smile. "I've read all about you guys, but there's been no hard proof that you actually existed."

"They happen to exist, but unlike the movies, comics and tv series we're just another branch of a larger organization that oversees all branches of secret organizations. Your Center is one such branch." he held the card out. "Take this, it has a very large amount on it that works for any known item, but be warned, Mom has made it clear that any extreme purchases such as mansions or other pointless items that will not help with the program are not to be made as it can bring unwanted attention, understood?"

"Yes sir."

"One question, who are you?" Hyohime asked.

"My real name is classified under a code Omega Sigma procedure but you can refer to me as V." he leaned in. "If you attempt to find out anymore of us or of our group then I have the authority to erase your memory or at most execute you and make it seem like an accident, are we clear?"

"Yes sir." She gulped.

"Good, go on with your day and remember, don't draw any attention to yourselves." he pulled out a circular device and pushed a button before becoming invisible and walked away.

"..."

"Humans are so odd." Hyohime said bluntly.

"Wow, that's so cool." smiled Martin with stars. "We actually got to meet one of them, and we even got a cool card that can help us get anything we want." he drooled at the idea of all he could purchase before Hyohime popped the thought bubble.

"Don't even think about it." She frowned. "You can't just do that….even if a mountain of tuna would be nice." she started to get a dream sequence of her eating tuna.

"Hmm, now that you think about it, we haven't had lunch." he smirked while holding the card up. "And isn't it a good idea to make sure we get well fed? I mean if not, how can we complete our job?"

"...alright." She smirked getting the picture. "Let's get some tuna rolls!"

"I know this great chinese place down the road."

"Alright, but be warned my species is ravenous so don't expect me to just eat one bowl."

"Just try not to eat too much or we'll be spending more than we did on these clothes."

She frowned at that before slapping his head. "Never mention a girl's weight, it's rude and insensitive!"

"Ow! It wasn't the weight part." he hissed rubbing his cheek. "I was talking about your appetite, way different thing."

"Still, it sounded rude so next time. Try wording it out a little bit more."

"Fine." 'Yeesh, is this day gonna keep hitting me hard?'

She sighed before rubbing his head.

"What are you doing?"

"See if you have any red marks, I mean I don't want to hurt you that much."

"Well I'm not bleeding so that's a good sign."

"Still, better check just in case."

He let her rub his head while actually feeling lucky since no girl ever did this.

"Well," she said while patting his cheek. "Everything's ok."

"Thanks, but let's head to that place before it closes."

Hyohime nodded before they walked down the street to the restaurant.

(Restaurant)

"What a nice place." She said while sitting in a booth across from Martin. "Feels almost like home, but without the no shoes rule."

"So you lived in Japan? I never knew sirens could live anywhere besides greece." he remarked. 'Wonder if I should write this down for future generations. They might look at me with praise for discovering something they never knew. Martin Mystery the Wise sounds sweet.'

"Well it's because of one thing." She said dramatically before answering "We just migrated." in a bored tone.

"Really? But how long were you there for? I mean people must have known you existed."

"I lived there for 45 years but someone mistook me for a tengu and I had to travel to Norway because I wanted to have a nice vacation until the gossip died down."

"...so how did you get mistaken for a tengu?"

"Someone saw me taking a bath with my wings partially used." she remarked while looking at the menu and looked slightly sad. 'At least, I wish that was the case.'

Martin blinked at that before looking at his menu. "So….maybe I could get you a taiyaki chicken?"

"That's japanese but thanks for that." she replied while the waitress came over. "Let me try and order."

"Welcome to Sun Wong restaurant how may I help you?" She said with a smile.

"Ten orders of egg drop soup and rice, all with the fish of the day." Hyohime said.

She wrote it down. "And what can I get you sir?"

"Just some rice."

She nodded. "Anything to drink?"

"Root beer." Both said at once.

She wrote it down. "They'll be done as soon as possible." She then walked away.

"Wow, you really are hungry. I'm guessing the Center isn't too keen on gourmet dining?" joked Martin.

She frowned. "Not funny, really not funny."

"Sorry." he held his hands up. "Just trying to make conversation."

Hyohime sighed. "It's alright, but it's better if you don't tell jokes first." she looked at him. "For example, how is it your hair sticks like that?"

"I make sure to use plenty of gel so it maintains its figure." he grinned while giving a thumbs up and a wink. "I've even thought about becoming a hair model with it."

"Stick with your day job." She said. "If you've done as well you have beating other creatures besides me, it might be the only thing you're good at."

"I know...hey was that an insult?"

"No, now calling you a porcupine head that's a insult."

He stuck his tongue out while looking out the window. 'I wonder if I can get Mom to replace her with another girl.'

"However, you're more interesting then I expected." She admitted. "Especially when you didn't try and run off before at the clothes store." 'But I think I can guess why.'

He turned around. "Really?"

"Of course, plus I'm having an ok time. Even if it's only a short while."

"Well I bet you'll feel better once your bellies full."

"I'll say." She chuckled as the drinks came up. "Arigatou."

"Your foods will be coming up shortly."

She nodded while taking a sip of her soda. "Ha, root beer."

"I take it you tried some on your migration time?" he guessed sipping some.

"Yes." She said while sipping again. "I had some in america before I headed out on the next ship to the old world. It was the second best thing I ever tasted."

"What's the first?"

"Sake mixed with tuna." she grinned. "Now that's something that tops all."

'Ew.' "Oh didn't expect that. Although I did acquire a taste for blood hot chocolate lately."

"Meh, sake with tuna trumps that."

'I just hope she doesn't try to drink any, she might get us in trouble.'

Hyohime finished her soda while looking at that ice with hate. 'Kuso kōri!'

Martin guzzled his soda while seeing the waitress come back with their orders.

"Ten eggdrop soup and rice with tuna." She put the meal next to Hyohime. "And a bowl of rice." she put the bowl in front of Martin. "Is there anything else you like to order?"

"No, we should be good for now."

The waitress nodded before walking away as Hyohime finished the first two bowls of soup.

"Woah! How'd you do that?" he asked in surprise and amazement.

"It's a secret." She said while finishing the next three bowls of rice.

"Well easy there, I haven't even started." he replied before he started eating the rice with some chopsticks. 'And I thought I was hungry.'

(One meal later)

"Ah!" She smiled while finishing her meal. "That hits the spot, but needs more tuna."

"Don't tell me you're still hungry."

"Yep." She smiled. "For dessert I mean."

"Well they should have fortune cookies here, I think."

"Fine." She sighed before some fortune cookies were brought out along with a check.

"Pay when you're ready." smiled the waitress before leaving them alone.

Hyohime opened a cookie. "Let's see, if one is cute then be nice for small things come in big packages. Interesting." she then saw a little sentence on the bottom. "Love can be mended by a simple hug?"

"Mine says that your life may be filled with changes that will take time to endure, but the end will be worth it."

"Huh? What does that mean?" She asked while eating the cookie shells. "Tasty."

"No idea, really I just get these cause the cookies taste good." he replied before munching on them. "I don't really believe in these things."

"I believe in them when one told me I was destined to see the ocean with a stiff look on life." She grumbled. "And that came true."

"Oh...well look on the bright side, now you can really stretch our your wings."

She sighed. "Yeah you're right, but at least you didn't get killed."

"Almost."

It became silent as they finished the cookies and Martin used the card to pay before taking the clothes as Martin took the lead.

"..."

"..."

"It was nice." Hyohime finally said. "I mean I didn't have this much fun in years."

Martin chuckled a little.

"I'm serious. When I was young I didn't get a chance to go out and do this much stuff at once."

"Wow, I guess I'm the first then?"

"Third actually. First two came from….him."

Martin didn't reply while seeing they reached Torrington. "Well we're almost there, I just hope my room can fit all this in there."

"I hope so myself, but I also hope you have a shower. I'm in need for a birdbath."

"Was that a joke?"

"No I really need one." She said with a groan. "I think that cylinder made my feathers molt."

"Well there's a shower of course. There's one in every dorm room."

"Then I'm going." She smiled. "But expect a lot of steam."

'I just hope I don't end up in those moments where the guy sees her in a towel. Then again….' He thought before seeing her naked in his mind and blowing him a kiss.

"Just don't get any ideas." she warned while they entered the building with any students noticing her and surprised to see a girl with Martin.

"What the?"

"Who is she?"

"Why is she with that guy?"

"Am I dreaming?"

'I can hear you know.' thought Martin with a sweatdrop before they reached his room and he awkwardly got the door open and walked inside before setting the bags down. "Home sweet home."

Hyohime looked around before shrugging. "It's fine, better than a beer filled ship." she then sat on the bed. "And it's almost as soft as a nest."

'Shows what she knows, that thing can be as stiff as a board.' He thought before seeing her get up and walked towards the bathroom.

"I'll be out in a bit." She said before closing the door as the water turned on.

That was when Diana walked in. "Martin? Feeling better?" she noticed the bags and raised an eyebrow. "Apparently, but if you went shopping for clothes, why are they all girls?"

"Um…."

"Oh! You're trying the swedish cheerleader routine again." she shook her head. "Martin you know that's not gonna work, especially with your hairy legs."

"What if I shaved them?"

"No, just no." She sighed before hearing the running water. "Martin, did Java ask to use the shower again?"

"Well….not exactly." he replied looking away. 'Should I tell her? Mom never said I couldn't tell Diana and Java.'

That was when the water turned off as steam emanated from the cracks. And out came Hyohime with a towel over her body.

"Ah, that feels so good on my skin." She sighed before seeing Diana. "Oh it's you."

Her eyes went wide seeing the siren right in front of her. That and seeing her large chest strain against the towel made her mouth hang open in shock.

"What? Never saw a naked girl before?" She said before walking over to grab the clothes while returning to the bathroom.

"..." she turned to Martin with mixed emotions. "Martin….what's going on? Why is she here? I thought she was in the Center? Why is she so big? How is she here? And also, WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

"It's a long story, again a long story, ask Mom, because her feathers keep it covered, a longer story, and stop yelling at me!" he winced. "Really you might wanna get a knob and turn down the volume."

She frowned at that before the siren walked out wearing a red tank top and shorts as she sat on the bed.

"Martin, how do we space out the bed? Do you have another one or a spare mat?"

"I don't know myself." He admitted. "But you can take my bed if you want."

"Wait, if you're letting me take it, then where will you sleep?"

"The floor is fine with me." He smiled. 'Even if my necks going to be stiff in the morning.'

'Martin being generous? And to someone who tried to kill us?' "Alright, can someone explain what's going on?"

Hyohime sighed before explaining for Martin, even the Men in Black part and the outing.

"..." she blinked before feeling her mind breaking a little. "That's the most insane thing I've ever heard of!"

"And the things we handle all the time isn't enough?" countered Martin.

"Still how can Mom let her stay here!?"

"Because she thinks I might help Hyohime adapt to society." Martin said. "Plus she's an ok person once you get to know her."

"Martin, are you sure she won't talk to any temes here?" Asked Hyohime.

"Talk to what?"

"Temes, meaning bastards or stuck up pricks." She explained.

"Oh. Hey so you called me a bastard before?!"

"I was still weary of you, which I still am." she countered while noticing Diana staring at her chest. "I take it you're surprised my chest is this size, right?"

She nodded with a blush.

"Well I'm half bird so we have large chests, with mine being a G cup."

'That's way bigger then mine!'

Hyohime looked at the bed and then at Martin. "Are you sure about me taking the bed?"

"Don't worry, I can manage. Plus it means I get to break out this new sleeping bag I bought last month shaped like an acid spewing centipede."

She sighed. "I have a better idea, we alternate between the bed and sleeping bag." she then got off the bed. "You can sleep tonight on the bed and I'll have it tomorrow."

He shrugged. "If you insist."

"Good." She said while laying down on the floor. "I'm fine like this anyway."

Diana sighed as she saw the girl falling asleep on the ground. "Well I have a test to do so I'll leave you two alone."

"You can tell Java about this, but try to do it gently, and make sure he doesn't faint."

"Ok." She nodded while closing the door.

"Zzzzzz." Hyohime snored cutely while Martin felt nostalgic a little bit.

'Reminds me when she slept before. Minus the snoring, but it's not so bad.' He thought before putting a pillow under her head and a blanket over her as well.

"Zzzzz….tuna…." She muttered with a smile.

Martin chuckled at that. 'Maybe this won't be so bad?'
