"Ughhhh... My head.... huh?"
I looked around, I was sprawled under a tree, on a bed of grass. I tried to sit up...
"ULP!"
A backache forced me to slump to the ground. It took a full minute to sit without this issue. I soon was able to see a metal railing situated before me, behind which was a large body of water.
"An ocean?"
Curious, I tried to walk over to it…
*FWUMP!*
Nope! I face planted on the floor because my legs were not working yet. Soon, I was walking, this may not seem like a pretty big achievement to you, but try putting yourself in my shoes. Anyway, I then found out that it was not an "ocean" I was seeing, it was just a fucking pond.
That was when I saw some people strolling about. Knowing that I could ask them questions, I headed up to them. I stumbled when I was able to get a good look at them. They were literally humanoid animals.
I eventually plucked up the courage to ask someone. I asked
"Where are we? and why are you all...animals?"
She said, "Why, in Kēji of course! and as for your first question, it is quite a funny thing to ask since your one yourself."
She handed me a mirror and when I caught a glimpse of my reflection
*CLACK RATTLE ATTLE*
You couldn't blame me for what I did next, I jumped into the bush like some tiny-cocked coward. Come on, if YOU saw a bunch of humanoid friggin animals would you do the same?
I dropped the mirror I took another look and I put my hands to my hair which was jet black with some streaks of blue some of it covered one of my eyes which were a deep blue, and the most peculiar thing is I had what appeared to be the ears of a wolf peeking out from my thick hair I looked a little lower and I found the reason why I had a hard time moving I had a large thick tail that was also jet black with a blue tip.
The lady looked a bit concerned...
"you look a little alarmed, is everything okay?"
I thought for a second…
"Yes…"
I decided to explore the city beyond the fence of the park, there were not many cars, instead, motorized scooters and bikes cruised these streets except for the occasional sedan. Eventually, I found my way to what I later found out as "8th Street" it was rather busier than the other streets, people were occasionally staring at me as I walked by, and others simply rushed past. then two certain individuals (for some reason) caught my eye they were two young women sitting at a table on the patio of a sushi bar they were having a joyful conversation. I don't know if it was the laughing or their smiles, but I simply can't help but stare. Trying not to look like a stalker, I began to walk away. then I jumped a foot in the air as two hands grabbed me from behind...
" 'ey you"
"Why are you watching those young women?"
A crowd started to gather…
I stuttered …
"I was just-"
"Following them around weren't you?"
then the two girls were at the front of the crowd
I was lifted off of the floor
"Creepy freaks like you are not welcome in this marketplace more or less this city!"
the two girls were silently staring at me...
But other people were shouting and hissing...
"PERVERT!"
"STALKER!"
"PEDOPHILE!"
I did not know what happened next but the next thing I knew I was standing on the ground above the person who was holding me, he was a humanoid rhinoceros, his once fierce horn was shattered pieces of his horn were scattered all over the place, his nose was bleeding a river, he was unconscious. meanwhile, the crowd was staring at me speechless as if shocked by what I had not seen. I wondered who helped me out here, I put my hand to my chin and felt a warm liquid on it. Take a wild guess what that liquid was! I ran off because I was not in the mood for the possible consequences. was on top of a building (don't ask how I got up there) I was staring down at the scene
"This day just keeps getting weirder…"
I saw one of the two girls disappear from sight!
Then one minute later...
?:"Hey! What the hell was that!?"
She was right behind me!
I was running away within 10 seconds...
I ran off of that street into a much quieter spot then I slowed to walking I saw a building with a sign in front that said: "New Kemono are welcome!" I walked in it was warm and welcoming on the inside couches tables and other furniture decorated the room
"Welcome to the Kemono Housing Complex how can we help you?"
A nice looking lady was sitting at a desk...
"What is this place?"
"This is a place for new Kemono to stay until they can manage on their own"
Then I noticed I had nothing but the clothes on me, no money, no house, nothing.
"I think I need a home, does it cost anything?"
"No, it is free for those who need it"
"Now, what is your name?"
I thought I did not even know my name then one word came to mind…
"Cobalt"
"That is your name?"
"I think"
"Last name?"
"Just Cobalt"
I answered several more questions and filled out a "Kemono registration form"
Cobalt: "What is a Kemono?"
She laughed a little…
"A Kemono is a combination of human and animal DNA. Each Kemono is of a certain species, you, for example, are a Wolf"
I tried not to laugh at how lazy the naming was, because kemono literally means "animal" in Japanese.
"We don't have many customers so which room would you like"
Cobalt: "I would like a room on the third floor"
She handed me a key with a tag that had a number on it: #32
"And you have neighbors, there is a female tanuki Kemono on the roof floor is that nice?"
"Hey! that is very ni- FUCKING WHAT!?!?!?!?"
