~Author's Note~

Hello everyone, this is my first story I've written so any criticism or ideas are welcomed! I write to improve my writing and if you have any ideas id love to hear them. I am going to make this a little series and I'll continue to add onto it when I get new ideas and concepts. This is set in a monster AU where Yuzu is a werewolf and Mei is a vampire. Most things will stay the same however ill probably be adding some characters or background changes to fit the story though I'll add information to tie it together and make sense of it. This story in later chapters might have some mature content so you've been warned. As of now its going to be rated T for slight adult themes. If you don't like girl x girl pairing then idk why you're reading Citrus. Don't worry, you can skip over the lemon stuff haha. I hope everyone enjoys this and if so I'll definitely continue writing. Have a fun time and be scared to leave a note! Peace.

The morning birds chirped softly as the warm morning sun began to spill in through the blinds, illuminating the room where two girls sleep peacefully. Yuzu was the first to stir as the young blonde werewolf rustled underneath the covers, slowly blinking awake. Yawning, Yuzu began to rise in a upright position and looked to her left. Beside her was a beautiful raven-haired vampire, softly asleep. Mei looked so beautiful to Yuzu, her pale white skin made her seem as delicate as a snowflake, her ebony hair always perfect and silky, in every way to the werewolf was Mei perfect. The blonde girl's tail began to wag as the smell bacon and eggs filled the air of the room. Yuzu carefully made her way out of bed, minding the still sleeping girl next to her and noiselessly she made her way into the lounge.

Ume, Yuzu's mother, was busy cooking breakfast for her daughters. Ume's tail wagged as she was always quite happy in the morning. Kaito, Mei's cat, brushed up against Yuzu's leg and purred lightly before bounding onto the arm of the couch and cleaning himself.

"Good morning Yuzu, how did you sleep?" Ume said cheerfully as she made a plate for Yuzu, setting it on the table before going back to moving the bacon on the pan.

"Good!" Yuzu replied just as cheerfully to her mother. Yuzu sat down and began to eat her breakfast and waited for Mei to wake up so they could walk to school together. Today was Friday and Yuzu was looking forward to going on a date with Mei tomorrow she planned on Monday, to Yuzu's surprised, Mei had actually agreed. Soon enough, Mei emerged from the room and walked out into the lounge and into the kitchen to eat her breakfast.

"Good morning, Kaito" Mei said petting her cat as me mewed back in response to the younger girl. Mei yawned slightly and joined Yuzu at the table, their mother soon putting down a plate for the vampire girl. Mei's plate was a bit different as it had a cup of jello along with her bacon and eggs. The jello was because the bone marrow within helped strengthen Mei's teeth and keep her healthy as could be. Most monsters had a specific diet that they would need to be healthy.

"Morning Mei!" The bright werewolf said with a big smile. Mei would never care to admit it but she always looked forward to seeing Yuzu's bright and cheery attitude in the morning, it was always rejuvenating to see the girl she cared for deeply so happy.

"Morning, Yuzu" Mei said in her usual, in-different tone. Soon, Ume sat down with her own plate of food and began to chat with the girls about what the day may bring, whats been going on at her work and what the girls have been doing at school. Ume didn't get to see the girls too often because of her work so she always looked forwards to this morning conversation they had together, maybe that's why she was always so cheerful in the mornings.

"You know Yuzu, you should try to get more involved with your school. Since I'm not home all the time when you are and Mei has student council you should probably join a club. It would be good for colleges to see that you were in some clubs, plus, you'd probably stop pestering your sister so much and let her do her work" Ume said with a chuckle from her slight tease. Mei actually didn't mind it too much when Yuzu bothered her, she actually found it quite endearing though she'd never actually say it out loud. It used to always bother Mei when Yuzu didn't let her do her work but it wasn't that bad now. 'Yuzu joining a club wouldn't be that bad though' Mei thought to herself. 'It would be good to see Yuzu get in less trouble and be more active rather than waist her time shopping or causing trouble for Himeko and me' Mei thought more carefully into the matter before throwing in her opinion.

"I think you should join a club Yuzu, it would be a good use of all the excess energy you seem to have stored-up inside of you" Mei said after thinking over voicing her opinion. The werewolf simply sighed and thought over the idea of joining in school activities.

"Alright, it doesn't sound life a half bad idea. Plus, when it's over we can walk home together since you insist on staying behind and finishing up all that boring paperwork" Yuzu said, her tail wagging more rapidity as she got excited walking home with Mei. Ume clapped her hands and giggled, happy to see Yuzu fond of the idea in joining a club activity. Soon they finished their breakfast and made there way out of the apartment, walking an lightly chatting. After some time of walking Harumin and Himeko caught up to Mei and Yuzu, the four conversing as they made there way to school.

"So Yuzu-chi, you're actually planning to join the basketball team?" Harumin said, quite shocked as she didn't think that was the club Yuzu would choose to join.

"Yeah! If you haven't noticed I'm actually kinda fast and I do enjoy exercising but I never felt like actually applying myself" Yuzu said with her signature smile, her tail wagging emphasizing her enjoyment of running around.

"Suits you" snickered Himeko, "A mindless dog running around after a ball for about thirty minutes" Himeko teased. 'Himeko has always had quite the sharp tongue though it might find her well to silence herself sometimes' Mei though. Soon enough as Mei had a thought to call out Himeko a young witch wrapped her arms around Himeko.

"That's enough outta you Vise Pres! You should learn to be nicer and not be so mean to someone 'cause they're better at something you aren't good at" Harumin said with a casual yet joking tone, Harumin could never be too serious, it was weird to see a witch with this personality type but it suited her. Mei inwardly chuckled at Himeko's reaction, the kumagirl ears twitched in anger as the witch and bear spirit argued. These mornings were always nice and relaxing, it slowly grew on Mei, a lot has since a elder blonde werewolf stumbled into her life.

The girls reached Aihara Academy and entered the gates. Mei reminded Yuzu to pick up a registration form to apply for the basketball team. Minutes soon spilled into hours and before the blink of an eye school was over and Yuzu was heading down to the gym where she would start practice. Mei was busy in the student council room finishing up paperwork and looking at the budgets for after school activities. She noted some off numbers and outdated club requests. Mei told Himeko and Kayo that they would need to schedule meetings with all the clubs and hear there requests and see what they could do to fix the budgeting issue and help the more popular clubs get things they needed. Mei looked back at the rest of the small stack of papers and continued working. 'I wonder how Yuzu is doing at practice?' Mei though as she wanted to hurry through the work, she was also looking forward to going home with Yuzu after a long day.

The sounds of shoes squeaking on the gym floor and basketball hitting the floor continuously filled the gym. The fast movements of the girls were carefully noted by Danuja Kawaguchi, a kitsune who was the gym coach and a former basketball all-star for the Fukushima Firebonds. Danuja watched carefully, his tails lightly waving back and forth as he watched Yuzu glide across the court with ease. Yuzu skillfully weaved passed the girls in her way and kept her eyes on the basketball hoop. Yuzu went to make the shot but when she went to shoot another werewolf side-checked Yuzu and before she could move out of the way she fell with a large, and painful, thud. A couple girls went to help Yuzu recover and helped her back to her feet asking is she was alright.

"Aihara-san! Are you alright?" One brown haired girl asked that was helping Yuzu to her feet. Yuzu nodded and then glared to the dark blue haired girl who knocked her down. A small growl formed in Yuzu's chest as she stepped forwards toward the girl.

"Hey! What's your problem?" Yuzu growled, slightly raising her voice. The blue haired girl just chuckled at the rise she got out of Yuzu and patted her head.

"Oh I'm so sorry, I was coming in to block your shot and I guess I must have ran into you" The girl said with a smirk and underlining mocking tone. She giggled slightly, wagging her tail in the joy she was feeling until Danuja came forwards and broke up the confrontation.

"Onnanoko Suri, you should watch where you're throwing your body. Someone could have gotten hurt from your carelessness and clumsiness. Please do not let it happen again in the future, as team captain I expected a bit better" Danuja said in a stern tone. Yuzu silently laughed as her tail wagged listening to Suri get scolded for running into her. Suri growled slightly but nodded her head.

"O-of course sensei" Suri said slightly irritated. "Akane, Kuro, let's go practice shooting" Suri grumbled as a red-head girl and black-headed girl jumped to attention. The three girls walking away as Danuja dismissed the rest of the girls gathered around to go and continue practicing their shots. However, he held Yuzu behind and wanted to speak with her privately.

Mei met up with Yuzu after practice and they began to tell each other about their day as they walked home, stopping by the shop to pick up supplies for dinner as there mother had recently called Yuzu and informed her about an emergency that had happened at work and that Mei and Yuzu were on their own for dinner. Soon arriving at their apartment they put their school things away and soon started making yakisoba for dinner, one of Mei's favorites. Soon the meal was done and the girls gathered to eat dinner together.

"Yuzu, you said earlier that you had trouble with Onnanoko Suri?" Mei said starting up a conversation between the two as she began to eat her rather delicious food. Yuzu grumbled at the name and her tail lowered as she remembered the blue haired girl.

"Yes, we had a bit of an issue..." Yuzu said slightly grumbling. She didn't want Mei to worry about her like she usually did. Telling Mei about Suri pushing her would make Mei upset and even though the raven-haired girl had a good cap on her emotions, when someone messed with Yuzu she knew they had a bad time coming.

"What happened? She has quite the track record of being quite a bully. I had to deal with her before so if she is causing you trouble-" Mei started to say but was quickly cut off by the elder werewolf who was seeming to be a bit nervous at the thought.

"No I'm fine Mei, we had a bit of a disagreement but she's my captain and we got over it. I don't need any help" Yuzu said with a nervous chuckle, waving her hands in front of her to dismiss Mei. "Really! The coach even came and talked to me about coming up with a morning routine so I could improve my already good skills!" Yuzu enforced with a bright smile.

"So you won't be walking with me in the morning to school anymore..?" Mei said almost sounding sad? 'But I actually enjoy walking with you in the mornings...' Mei thought slightly disappointed hearing the wolfs new plans for the morning.

"Huh? Oh...I guess you're right...but..hey! We still get to walk with each other after school and we have a date this Saturday. Also, we are hanging out with Himeko and Harumin this weekend, going out the the festival! Plus, I wont bother you as much so early in the morning" Yuzu said cheering up as soon as she was down in the dumps,her tail wagging more erratically. 'Yuzu really can bring the light into any situation' Mei thought as a slight smile tugged at her lips.

"Yuzu, did you know that you're really cute?" Mei said in a less monotone voice, a happy tone being heard as she spoke about the blonde wolf. Mei saw a blush forming on Yuzu's cheeks at the complement. She whined cutely, as Mei thought, and hid her face behind her hands.

"Stop teasing me so much!" Yuzu grumbled feeling the heat rise in her cheeks. The pair giggled and soon finished their meals and both took baths. Soon it was bed time and Yuzu looked at the calendar. Noting that tomorrow was the weekend. Mei and Yuzu could go on there date and would also go to the Festival with Harumin and Himeko. She also noted the full moon that would be happening 2 weeks from today, and, she smiled softly at a circled mystery date. Sighing, she turned off the lights and pulled back the blinds of their window so the moonlight shone through. She climbed into bed carefully and looked down at the exhausted vampire sleeping soundly under the covers. Yuzu sighed contently, she brushed a stray strained of ebony hair out of her lovers face. Her pale white skin lightly kissed by the soft light of the moon. Her hair always perfect, black and silky. Mei looked like a delicate snowflake, harmless and unique as she always did to the werewolf.

"Goodnight Mei, sleep well" Yuzu said softly, almost inaudible as she was settling into the bed, soon sleep overtook her and she lay back in the warm embarrass of the sheets. Some time into the night Kaito jumped onto the bed and began to lay down. The dark gray and black cat settled at the foot of the bed. His eyes shone blue as he looked at the sleeping pair and smiled widely.
