Mochi Ai is the sweetest, cutest, most kawaii person you could ever know. Returning to her stepmom and dad back in USA from the Harajuku district of Japan, she meets the alpha of her new school, a wolf-and-dragon hybrid named Drake. Poetic, huh? As the two get to know each other, however, Drake realizes Mochi has some nasty skeletons in the closet. What is she? Who is she?
"Bye, Dad! Bye, Gwen!" Mochi called as her dad and stepmom drove away. Airalyn hugged her new friend. "You'll have so much fun! We promise!" she squealed. Mochi grabbed her sleeping bag. "Where should I set up?" "You and Drake can sleep in the upstairs den, since Mom and Dad are, like, the door across," Siren explained. Mochi and Rain took her sleepover stuff upstairs and entered the den: White walls, white carpet, and two giant white couches matched perfectly together. Three game consoles sat on a line of cabinets next to a huge wall-mounted TV, with two PCs on a long, sleek, black desk to the other side. The wall parallel to the one with the door had an entire closet and several cabinets full of pillows, blankets, hygiene products, and accessories. After Mochi set up her sleeping bag on one of the couches, Rain and Airalyn suddenly whirled her to one of the other rooms upstairs and locked the door. "Siren, what are they doing to Mochi?!" Drake explained as he unsuccessfully tried to pick the door lock. Siren put her hand on her younger brother's shoulder and smiled. "Don't worry, bro; they're gonna have Mochi try out some different outfits and see how you react!" "Waaaait... what-?" But before Drake could finish, the door opened, and Mochi walked out shyly, decked out in an oversized white and black panda onesie with the hood off, revealing her tiny little wolf ears on her head, which were usually covered with her favorite hat. Drake's face started to look like a tomato. "Say it!" His sisters cheered. Mochi took a deep breath, then smiled, winked, and put her hands up. "Nyaaaa~!"
"Sowwy, Drakey," Mochi giggled. Drake turned to her. "I- just-" he stuttered. "Did you choose that outfit?!" "Kinda," Mochi replied as she fluffed up her pillow. Drake chuckled as he stared at the dark ceiling. "It's okay to say that my sisters either suggested it and you didn't want to say no, or they forced you, y'know," he said. Mochi laughed, and there were a few moments of silence. "Hey, Mochi?" "Mhm?" "Your biological mom... would you mind telling me a bit about her?" Mochi was slightly shocked. Then, even in the dark room, Drake saw a small smile melt across her face. "My mama's name is Neka Makito, and she's a panda breed. I physically appear to be a wolf, like my dad, but I'm actually a secret hybrid between the two species. That's where I get my pale skin and black hair," Mochi explained. "What's she like?" Drake asked. "Well... she's very kind and sweet, although some people describe her as candy; by that, they mean that she's almost like a craving to them, but they know she isn't good for them." "Why did your mom and dad divorce?" "Well, it was actually a very friendly divorce; Mama told Dad that she was no longer in love with him and was a lesbian, but it turns out Dad had been having a special affair with Gwen at the time, so the divorce worked out. They still talk from time to time, but its just normal friendship, now." Suddenly, Drake sat upright. "Drakey? You okay-" "Don't move, Mochi. Stay exactly where you are." *FLICK* went the lights. Drake could not have expected what he saw next...
Five grown people, completely dressed in black, with a sharp blade to his and Mochi's neck.
