Mushi

Post by MysteryX »

Here is a story I have been working for a few weeks. This is the first time I have written a story for quite a long time and I was trying to make something unique since that is what I am best known for. Anyway please tell me what you guys think and whether you would like me to continue it or not. Anyway enjoy for here is the first chapter and the second chapter is coming soon.

Chapter 1
Spoiler: show
This is the story of Mushi a young college student whose life was about to change. It all started when he was nineteen during his summer break where he went to spend it with his grandmother. His grandmother lived in a large old house at the edge of a forest and this is where the story starts.

Mushi was waking up when he felt something crawling on his top lip. He quickly opened his eyes to see a small black housefly just resting on his mouth facing him. He raised his hand and immediately the fly flew away. He quickly got out of bed and threw off his covers and walked over to the currents and quickly opened them to look outside at his grandmother’s garden which looked nice with the forest tree in the background. Groups of butterflies were flying around, bees were collecting pollen from flowers, ants were crawling across the ground carrying the food that they found, and a lone praying mantis was calmly sitting on top of a branch of a small tree.

“What a wonderful day” said Mushi to himself with a sigh of relief.

Mushi had a thing for bugs, be it insects, arachnids, or arthropods he liked them all. He had a deep interest the critters and he occasionally took care of them. He had a bug cage where he kept interesting looking bugs to observe or put injured bugs which he helped them get better. Speaking of bugs he had only been three days since he moved to his grandmother’s house and the bugs seem to have been acting. The bugs never seem to go into the house despite all the cracks and hole in the walls and windows. The few bugs that do come in however always seem to be the same ones, not the species but the same individual bug which made Mushi curious but he never bothered asking his grandmother about it.

He yawned and stretch his arms when the same fly from before landed on his right armpit. He then lowered his arms causing the fly to fly away again before heading to the bathroom and taking off his clothes. When he strips completely naked he feels something land on his left butt cheek. He lowers his hand to brush whatever it was and sure enough it was the small black fly again.

“Ever since the day I got here you have been harassing me fly” muttered Mushi to the fly as it flew away.

Mushi then peered into the mirror to look at himself. He was a skinny man who was a little shorter than the average person. He ran his right hand through his short dark brown hair to move it out of the way. When he was brushing his hair out of the way he noticed something on his. He grabbed himself a washcloth on the towel rack and stepped into the shower stall. He turned on the water which was cold but he was used to it.

The water quickly became warm which was when he grabbed the soap and began scrubbing himself down. While he was doing that Mushi notice the fly sitting on the rim of the sink starting right at him with its beady red eyes but he didn’t care that much. After Mushi finished his shower he dried himself off with the towel he grabbed from the rack and then wraps himself up in the same towel. After he finished all his other bathroom routes he grabbed his work uniform of the top of the dresser and started getting dressed.

As Mushi finished getting dressed he went down stairs into the kitchen he looked around noticed no one was around. That must mean that grandmother is still in bed Mushi was thinking to himself. Turning to the clock a worried expression crept up on his face. He needed to hurry if he wanted to get to work on time. He decided to skip breakfast as he ran to the front door of the house grabbing his keys off the table. He then quickly went out the front door, got into his green and black smart car he owned, and drove away.

Ten minutes of driving later Mushi drove past a sign which read Welcome to Feithidi. Feithidi was the closest town to his grandmother’s house so when on his first day he got a job a local burger place called The Bacon Burger which was famous for its bacon cheeseburgers. When he got to the restaurant he hurried inside from the backdoor as quickly as possible.

“You’re late Mushi” yelled someone in the back room. Mushi turn his head to the side to see his boss Rick with a smirk on his face.
Rick was the manager of the Bacon Burger at the time, filling in for his father who was currently in Hawaii taking a summer break. He was slightly buff and about a foot and a half taller than Mushi was. He always put his ginger coloured hair into a short fohawk which went well with his amber eyes.

“So Mushi, tell me why you are late today” said Rick in a haughty tone.

“Sorry, I got up late and my grandmother’s house is quite a…” said Mushi before he was cut off.

“I know where you live and it’s not that far, why would you live there anyway” said Rick annoyed.

“I know my grandmother’s house isn’t in perfect condition but…” said Mushi before he was cut off again.

“Not the house, the forest, it’s haunted, haven’t you heard the stories” said Rick still annoyed.

“What, I have heard of no such thing” said Mushi in shock.

“Well why don’t I tell you the story about those woods then” said Rick a menacing smile forming on his face.

“It is said that the forest is inhabited with fairies, not the one in fairy tales, these fairy take the form of voluptuous woman with insect wings sprouting from their back. You may think there harmless but once they seduce you with charm magic then it’s all over, they will take you deep into the forest where they will eat and rape you. Oh and you know what, every night during the full moon is when they leave the forest to hunt for more prey. Anyway I got to get back to work, poor Gin is doing everything by himself you know” Said Rick as he patted Mushi on the shoulder as he headed for the door.

“Wait, to-tonight is a full moon” said Mushi fearfully.

“Well, good luck sleeping tonight, oh and as punishment for being late and wasting time you will take out all the trash from yesterday by yourself” said Rick in a haughty town as he pointed his finger at five big black garbage bags.

Before Mushi could say anything else Rick left for the kitchen. He let out a big sigh before picking up one of the bags since that was all his strength would allow him to do. As he walked down the alley he saw a skinny man that looked like he was in his thirties. The man was just sitting there laying his back against the wall. His hair was all long and messy and on his face he had stubble. He was just sitting there not doing anything his blank gray eyes just staring at the brick wall across from him.

“What are you doing?” asked Mushi as he threw the black bag into the dumpster.

“Waiting for my lady” said the man calmly.

“Okay, why are you meeting her in a place like this?” asked Mushi a little confused.

“Because, this is the spot where I chose to meet her, not many people come here so we most likely won’t get disturbed, if you know what I mean” said the man giving him a small wink.

“Alright then, I will let you be” said Mushi still confused with what the man was doing.

Mushi was getting creeped out by this man, but judging by his appearance and the tattered hippie like clothing Mushi assumed that he was probably just a crazy homeless person or a hippie high on drugs so he continued bringing the garbage bags to the dumpster. As Mushi was bringing over the final dumpster he saw a something red fly right past his head. He turned his head to where the red thing flew and saw the man hold out his hand as the red thing landed on it. Looking closely he saw that it was a lady bug and that the man was talking to it but he couldn’t make out what the man was saying. Suddenly the man put his mouth to the lady bug and started kissing it. Mushi was grossed out by this sight so he decided to head back to the restaurant before things got any weirder.

Just as Mushi got back into the restaurant he heard a girlish scream coming from the kitchen. He enters into the kitchen and saw Gin freaking out while looking at something on the ground. Gin was a pudgy fellow who was about a foot shorter than Mushi. He kept his shiny black hair in a nice bowl cut and he worn Rectangular glasses over his bright blue eyes. Mushi decided to walk over to see what he was screaming about and in was a huge brown cockroach scurrying across the kitchen floor.

“Gin, it’s just a cockroach, there’s no need for you to scream” said Mushi trying to calm Gin down.

“How can I, it’s so big and disgusting” said Gin worried.

“Calm down Gin, you’re over reacting again, if you want I will deal with it” said Mushi a little irritated.

“Thanks Mushi, you’re the best” said Gin calming down a little.

“Hey you two, what’s all this screaming and yelling about, it will scare away the customers if you guys keep it up” yelled Rick as he burst into
the kitchen. As Rick walked towards the two he saw the cockroach staying still in the middle of the floor.

“So is this what you guys are screaming, I will take care of this pest” said Rick as he grabbed one of the spatulas off the stove.

Rick swung the spatula at downward at the cockroach but it quickly crawled out of the way. Rick then swung the spatula again much faster this time. The cockroach spread its wings and quickly flew out of the way of the spatula taking into the air. Rick was becoming angry and begins swinging wildly towards the cockroach

“Rick stop, there’s no reason for you to kill it” said Mushi as he ran toward Rick to try and stop him from hitting the cockroach.

Unfortunately while wildly swinging the spatula Rick accidently smacked Mushi right in the face really hard. This caused him to fall backwards accidently getting his shirt caught on the corner of one of the stoves causing a big rip in it. Rick scared that he might have accidently hurt one of his employees decided that it was best to try and comfort Mushi.

“Are you all right, did you didn’t get any serious injuries did you, does it hurt anywhere” said Rick worried.

“I am fine other than the rip in my shirt” said Mushi calmly with a smile on his face.

“Tell you what, how about you take a couple days off, me and Gin can handle the kitchen while you’re gone, right Gin” said Rick still worried.

“Of course Rick” said Gin with a groan.

“Thank you Rick, I will be off then” said Mushi glad that he was getting some time off even though it was by getting himself injured.

As Mushi was about to leave the restaurant he noticed the cockroach on the wall staring right at him. Mushi stared at the cockroach for a while before the restaurant. When Mushi got outside and unlocked the door to his smart car he noticed the same cockroach on the ground staring at him.

“Hey there little guy, are you following me, that’s okay, I don’t mind” said Mushi smiling at the cockroach as he opened the car door and got in.

The cockroach spread its wings and flew into the car with him. Mushi wasn’t at all disturbed by this because for the past few days of living with his grandmother he had seen bugs do all sorts of unusual things so he was used to it.

When Mushi got home he got out of his car the cockroach crawled out as well before disappearing into the bushes. Just as he was about to open the door he saw something heading directly toward him. As it landed on his arm he saw that is was a mosquito, it stuck its needle into his arm and started sucking his blood. He tried swatting at it multiple times but the mosquito just kept dodging and landing right back on his arm to continue sucking his blood. Once it was done the mosquito flew away as a bump from the bite formed on his arm.

“Damn that mosquito, always attacking me when I get home from work” said Mushi as he raised his sleeve and scratched at the two other mosquito bites on his arm. As Mushi got inside he decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat when suddenly he heard a voice coming from downstairs.

“Mushi, get down here, I need your help with something” yell a voice from downstairs.

“Okay grandma” said Mushi with a groan as headed towards the basement. Once he got downstairs it was dark and humid with boxes and cobwebs everywhere. Mushi never went into the basement before so this was his first time seeing what it looked like. Mushi continued looking for his grandmother trying to navigate through the boxes and passing a huge house centipede on the way.

Finally the basement got brighter as Mushi came across a window which something caught his attention. In the window was a large spider with red dotted markings lined up on its abdomen sitting in a web. What made the spider interesting to Mushi it was a deep peach colour, the same colour as Caucasian skin on a human. Mushi reached out and grabbed the big spider taking it out of its web accidently destroying it in the process. He then turned the spider around taking a look at it from all angles and noticed it has a red hourglass marking on the underside of its abdomen.

“You know little spider, you look a lot like a black widow” said Mushi somewhat cheerfully.

“That’s because it is a black widow” said a voice behind him causing him to panic and throw the weirdly coloured black widow across the room. He turned around to see his grandmother a short old women with her white hair done up in a bun. She always wore a bunch of different kinds of colourful robes which covered her body completely except for her head and hands along with a pair of tinted spectacles she wore over her eyes.

“Don’t worry she wouldn’t have bitten you; there was no need for you to throw her” said Mushi’s grandmother in a serious voice.

“Wait it’s a her, never mind, what is a black widow doing in the basement, aren’t they dangerous” said Mushi a bit confused.

“They’re harmless if you don’t bother them, that spider has been here for a long time even before you were born, she has doing a great job at keeping the pests out” said Mushi’s grandmother in a just as serious voice as before.

“That makes sense, I think” said Mushi a bit worried.

“You know your Aunt Maria was always good with spiders, now help me carry these box up, I’m getting too old to carry them by myself” said Mushi’s grandmother she pointed to a stack of three boxes. Mushi went over and lifted them up as his grandmother directed him towards the stairs.

“Speaking of Aunt Maria, I haven’t seen her for a long time, she was the one that always gave me clothes as presents for my birthday and Christmas” Ask Mushi curiously.

“Yes she was, I have been talking with her recently over the phone and she agrees with me that you need to find yourself a girlfriend” said Mushi’s grandmother.

“Why is that grandma?” asked Mushi curiously.

“Because all you do after work is watch porn on your laptop, and don’t think you can hide it from me” said Mushi’s grandmother angrily.

“Grandma I told you I watching anime on my laptop, not porn” said Mushi with angrily.

“I know what anime is and what I am hear from your room every night is not anime” said Mushi’s grandmother just as angrily.

“You’re probably just hearing things” said Mushi as he carries the stack of boxes away leaving the basement.

“Whatever will I do with that boy” said Mushi’s grandmother as she noticed the black widow on the ground crawling towards where its web was.

“There you are dear, I will help you up” said Mushi’s grandmother as she laid her hand in front of the spider.

The black widow crawl onto the grandmother’s hand and she lifted it up where its web was. The black widow went to the center of it and started repairing the damage that was done to it.

Mushi put the boxes down he went to the fridge to grab himself some of the leftover nachos from last night. He then went upstairs and he shut the door to his room gently before putting his nachos on the bedside table beside his laptop then lying down on his bed.

Mushi was about to reach over to grab his laptop to start it up but decided not to. Instead he just reached his hand into the bowl and grabs a chip with nacho toppings on it and eats it. Mushi thought that it was best stop watching porn on his laptop for a while. His grandmother wasn’t as feeble and gullible as he thought she was. While he was eating he noticed a large cockroach crawling across the floor. He picks up another nacho chip.

“Hello again little guy, want to have a bite” said Mushi cheerfully. Just as he said those words the cockroach instantly spread its wings and flew landing right beside him on the bed. He then broke a piece of the nacho chip off toppings included and places it in front of the cockroach which began eating the food.

“You know little guy, you’re the first friend I had made today” said Mushi as he looked down at the floor. He grabbed some more nacho chips from the bowl and broke off another peace for the cockroach to eat.

“You know what, my grandma and aunt think I need a girlfriend, it’s not like I can’t get a girlfriend it’s just that I don’t know any girls that aren’t related to me to begin with, sometimes I do wish I had a girlfriend little guy” said Mushi Gloomily. Mushi continued talking with the cockroach about his problems until he ran out of nachos.

Mushi went to his dresser and pulled out one of the drawers. In it he pulled out one a pajama shirt and a pair of pajama pants. They felt smooth like silk and they were very stretchy and durable. The clothes he got were from his aunt Maria were not just comfortable but lasted for years which we why he liked them so much. Mushi got on his pajamas and got into bed before throwing the cover over him but before he could drift off to sleep he saw the cockroach staring at him.

“Goodnight little guy, see you tomorrow” said Mushi cheerfully as he closed his eyes.

“Goodnight to you too” said a feminine voice, but before Mushi could wonder where the voice came from he asleep.
Chapter 2
Spoiler: show
Mushi woke up lying down in the middle of a forest. He got up and looked around, but could barely see anything but trees in the thick fog that shrouded the forest. He decided it was best to leave and try to find his way back to his grandmother’s house. He walked for what felt like hours seeing nothing but trees with no sign of his grandmother’s house or her garden anywhere.

After walking for a while the fog began to clear and Mushi decided to rest for a bit to recover his stamina. As Mushi was about to get up he saw someone standing in the trees. After a closer inspection Mushi could see that the person was a nude woman with pale skin that was about a foot taller than he was. She had long white hair that reached down to her buttocks and her eyes were a pale green. Her body had a voluptuous hourglass shape to it and other than her head she had no hair growing anywhere on her body. What was most unusual about her though was that is that she had a pair of transparent butterfly wings sprouting out of her back. Mushi remembered the story that Rick told him and assumed that this was one of the fairies he was talking about so he took a step back.

The woman leaned over toward Mushi her left hand stretch out as she seductively spread curled in and out her index finger as a gesture to
come here. He decided he should run away but his body started moving on its own, walking towards the fairy and there was nothing he could do about it. When he got close enough to the fairy she grabbed the waist of his pajama pants and yanked them down revealing his penis. She then swallowed his penis whole and started sucking on it giving him a blowjob. As she sucked moving his penis in and out of her mouth Mushi began to moan. Mushi couldn’t handle it anymore and was on the verge of cumming she suddenly stopped taking his penis out of her mouth.

The fairy gentle pushed Mushi down until he was lying on the ground. She then got into a squatting position over Mushi giving him a good view of her gaping vagina. This gave him a hard on which she inserted directly into her vagina. He closed his eyes as she pounded violently into him with her hips as she thrusted downwards the shaft of his penis going in and out. Mushi was about to cum again when suddenly she stopped again. He opened his eyes confused at why she kept stopping but as he opened his eyes, what he saw terrified him. The pupils on her eyes were missing making her eyes completely white and she was smiling malicious her mouth filled with sharp jagged teeth. In an instant she lunged at him mouth wide open about to tear a chunk of his throat out.

Mushi woke up sweating in his bed. He rolled over to his bed side table to check the time and in exactly twelve at midnight. Suddenly he heard a loud bang from outside his room which cause him to jump. He left his bed and went to the curtains opening them to look out his window into his grandmother’s garden. Fireflies were flying in circles lighting up the darkness in night and moths were fluttering around the light at the backdoor of the house. Mushi went to check other window in his room which had a hole in the bottom right corner of it. Looking outside the window all he saw were two moths standing face to face with each other, one being larger than the other. The two moths were so close to each other that it looked as though they were kissing each other.

“What a nightmare, but I wonder what made that bang” said Mushi to himself as he wondered to himself whether the story that Rick told him was true or not. Since he saw nothing that could have made the noise outside what made the noise must be in the house outside his room. He was curious at what it was but at the same time scaried. Finally after building up enough courage he went to the door and opened it.

Mushi stuck his head out into the hallway and saw a ladder coming from a hole in the ceiling leading to the attic. Mushi thought that the attic hatch lock must have broken causing the ladder to fall through hitting the ground and making the loud bang. He never been up in the attic before and wondered what was up there. His curiosity got the better of him so he climbed up the ladder. Upon reaching the top he found a light switch at right to his left side which he turned on lit up the entire attic. Nothing that interesting caught his eye until he noticed a shelf at the very back of the attic. The shelf was filled with trophies and artifacts but there was one that caught his interest. It was a miniature golden statue of a woman with its hands stretched out holding a ruby in her left hand and an emerald in her right hand.

Mushi picked up the golden statue turned it in his hand to observe it from all angles. He noticed something unusual about woman on the statue. She had a pair of short antenna sticking straight up out of her head that curved inwards, from her forearms sprouted four spines, and on her back was an oval shaped carapace with a line going down the middle of it which reminded him of a beetle. The woman also had a beautiful figure with larges breasts and even larger hips giving her a pear shaped figure. Other than that she wore an Egyptian themed robe and headband but instead of a cobra it had a scarab beetle at the center of it.

As Mushi was holding the golden statue the eyes of the woman suddenly flashed a bright white light blinding Mushi causing him to drop the statue. When Mushi’s vision cleared he looked at the golden statue and noticed the ruby broke off of it. He grabbed the statue and put it back where it was on the shelf. He was beginning to feel drowsy so he picked up and pocketed the ruby before he climbed down the ladder before putting it back up into the attic but leaving the hatch open. When he got back to his bed he opened the drawer of his bedside table and put the ruby in so that he didn’t lose it. As he closed the drawer he threw the covers on himself again then he fell into a deep sleep.

Mushi was woken up the next morning but for some reason he felt different. He also felt something weird on his face that he never felt before. Curious he opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the face of what looked like a girl looking right at him. Immediately he panicked, quickly getting up knocking whatever was on his face onto the covers of his bed. Looking down he could see it was a small woman about the size of his hand lying on her butt with her eyes close. She opened her eyes and looked straight up at Mushi. She had dark gray skin and was completely naked. Her eyes were crimson red and on her head was short black hair that was a little messy. Her figure was quite small and slender with narrow hips and small breasts. The thing Mushi found most interesting about her was the pair of stumpy black antennae sprouting from her head and the single pair of transparent V shaped wings about two thirds her size that were sprouting from her back. She then stood up her wings falling down to her knees as she reached back and rubbed her butt as though it were sore.

“Woah, easy there big guy, no need to get all jumpy on me” said the fly girl playfully as she closed her eyes and stretched her hands up in the air giving Mushi a good view of her small but perky breasts causing him to blush a little.

“You can talk, what are you exactly?” ask Mushi curiously.

“Wait, you can hear me?” asked the fly girl pointing to herself.

“Yes I can, are you a fairy from the forest?” asked Mushi calmly.

“No silly, I’m a housefly, don’t you remember me” said the fly girl playfully.

“I’ve never seen you before in my entire life” said Mushi confused.

“Hey, I’ve been with you every morning since you got here, how could you not have seen me before” said the fly girl a bit annoyed as her hands clenched into fists.

“Wait, I remember now, your that fly that keeps pestering me every morning” said Mushi as he remembered the small black housefly from
before.

“Well it’s your fault for smelling so nice handsome” said the fly girl teasingly.

“Smelling so nice, what do you mean by that” asked Mushi curiously.

“Silly, I’m talking about the sweet smell of your breath in morning, why do think I lay on your face almost every morning, so I can get a whiff
of it before you put that white paste stuff in your mouth that gives off that unnatural smell” said the fly girl teasingly as she waved her hand downward.

“What, do you mean toothpaste; I use that to freshen my breath in the morning” said Mushi in a somewhat confused tone.

“Yeah freshening, that’s a good one, now you know what’s really freshening is the smell of your armpits when you get up, they have a really strong musky scent in the morning” said the fly girl playfully as she stretched out both her wings and her arms to the side.

“Hey, are you saying I stink” said Mushi angrily as he slammed his fist into the bed knocking the fly girl onto her butt.

“Easy there big guy, I never said you stink” said the fly girl nervously.

“Of course it doesn’t, you’re a fly” said Mushi annoyed while unclenching his fists and putting his hands back in his lap.

“What’s that supposed to mean” said the fly girl a little irritated as she got back up.

“Nothing, anyway my name is Mushi, what’s yours” said Mushi with a sigh.

“I’m Lexy and I already knew your name handsome” said the fly girl playfully.

“How would you know my name, I never gave it to you” asked Mushi surprised.

“Of course I would know your name, I have been living with you for the past few days and the old hag always calling you that so how could I not know” said Lexy very annoyed.

“Sorry about that, although there’s no reason for you to call my grandma that” said Mushi annoyed but not as annoyed as Lexy was

“Sorry about that, forgot that you two were related” said Lexy apologetically as she lifted up her right hand and rubbed that back of her hair with her eyes closed.

“That’s alright; now can I ask you something important” said Mushi in a serious tone of voice.

“Sure, ask me whatever you like handsome” said Lexy playfully as she raised her left hand to her chin.

“How come you look like a miniature human, most insects I have seen look nothing like you” asked Mushi curiously but still in a serious tone of voice.

“What’re you talking about; all of us look like this” said Lexy somewhat confused as she pointed to herself with both of her hands.

“What, are you saying all insects are like you” said Mushi in surprise.

“Yeah, pretty much” said Lexy still confused at what he was talking about.

Mushi quickly got off the bed accidently knocking Lexy over again. He ran to the curtains and opened them and what he saw shocked him. All of bugs in his grandmother’s garden looked like miniature girls. The butterflies that were fluttering together in groups looked like they were having a conversation with each other. The bees were sniffing the flowers before shoving there face right into them and coming out covered in pollen. The ants were marching single file carrying food either above their heads or by their sides with one arm. The lone praying mantis on the top branch of the small tree was just sitting there in a lotus position as though it was mediating.

Mushi’s walked away from window back towards his bed. His vision began to get blurry and his body was feeling woozy. He then fell over onto his front as his conscience was slowly fading from him until he eventually passed out but not before he managed to roll over on his front. Lexy got up after being knocked over by Mushi again.

“Great, my butt’s going to hurt for a week now, you need to be more careful big guy, I’m quite fragile you know” said Lexy a little annoyed as she began rubbing her butt. Lexy turned towards Mushi just in time to see him fall over. She spread her wings and took off towards Mushi wondering if he was all right.

“Hey there big guy, you all right” said Lexy worried as she was hovering over Mushi’s face. She looked at him closely and saw that he was still breathing and gave a sigh of relief.

“Looks like your fine handsome, sorry I can’t stay until you wake up but there are some things I need to do, see ya later big guy” said Lexy playfully as she took off leaving Mushi in the room by himself.

Mushi woke up wondering what had happened and feeling a little light headed. He got up and noticed he was not in his room anymore but instead in the middle of a forest with a thick fog enveloping it. This reminded him of the nightmare he had last night the only difference was that it was day time instead of night time, not that it mattered since the light was barely making it through the canopy of the trees.

Before Mushi could move he heard a girlish giggle coming from behind him. Something about this girlish giggle was odd and it gave him the creeps. He turned around to see the voluptuous pale skin woman from his nightmare staring directly at him with her pale green eyes. She gave him a friendly smile and began seductively beckoning him like she did before. The only difference this time was that Mushi was able to resist her, not enough for him to run away from her but enough that his body wasn’t walking towards her.

The pale skin woman stopped beckoning him and tilted her head to the side in confusion. After straightening her posture she closed her eyes and when she opened them her pupils were gone leaving only the whites of her eyes left. She grinned at Mushi giving him a view of her sharp jagged teeth. She raised her right hand up infront of her chest and her fingernails suddenly grew a few inches longer becoming very pointed at the end. She slowly started walking towards Mushi smiling menacingly at him. Before she could do anything Mushi heard a voice coming out of nowhere. The voice sounded like his grandmother and it was saying wake up. Suddenly he woke up seeing his grandmother hovering over him with her eyes squinted and peering down at him.

“Wake up, just because you’re not working today is no excuse to sleep in” said Mushi’s Grandmother in a serious tone.

“I wasn’t sleeping in, I fainted” said Mushi a bit annoyed as he got up off the floor.

“Sure you did, I’m not as gullible as you think boy” said Mushi’s Grandmother in a sarcastic tone.

“But I was lying on the floor, how do you explain that” said Mushi annoyed that his grandmother wouldn’t believe him.

“You rolled off your bed and since you were banging around in the middle of the night you were too exhausted to even notice, still doesn’t give you the right to sleep in though” said Mushi’s Grandmother in a tone of authority.

“But I was nowhere near my bed” said Mushi still annoyed as he turned and noticed that the place he was lying down was exactly beside his bed. Even his bed covers were leaning over the side of the bed where he was lying. Mushi walked over to the window and noticed that the curtains were still open and as he expected all the bugs outside still looked like girls but with unusual skin colours, a pair of antennae, and insect wings for the ones that could fly.

“Now tell me boy, what were you doing up so late last night” asked Mushi’s Grandmother in a serious tone.

“Nothing important, now can you please come over here and look out the window” said Mushi in a somewhat serious tone.

“What is it, all I can see are trees, flowers, and bugs out there” said Mushi’s Grandmother in a serious tone somewhat confused.

“Do the bugs look different to you in anyway, say looking like miniature woman…” said Mushi before he was cut off.

“Were you snooping around the attic last night” asked Mushi’s Grandmother in a serious tone giving him a cold stare.

“No, the attic hatch broke making a loud noise; so I decided to take a look” said Mushi with a sigh.

“I will be checking that out right now” said Mushi’s Grandmother as she went out into the hallway and looked up to where the entrance of the attic was and noticed that the open hatch to the attic with the broken latch. The ladder was at the top leaning a bit over the side so Mushi’s grandmother tried to reach it but she was too short.

“Mushi can you be a dear and grab the ladder for me” said Mushi’s Grandmother in a gentle tone.

“Alright” said Mushi in a pleasant tone as he reached up as high as he could and grabbed the edge of the ladder dragging it down until it was low enough to the ground for his grandmother to step on it.

“Thanks grandson, now if I were you I would keep this to myself, people with think you’re crazy talking about seeing bugs as fairies or whatever you call them, now go get ready for today while I check out the attic and find out what went wrong up there” said Mushi’s grandmother in a serious tone as she climbed up the ladder before disappearing into the attic.

Mushi went back to his room to get ready for the day. He decided to skip his shower and just go straight to getting dressed. He took off his pajama pants and shirt then threw them onto the floor. Next he opened some of his drawers pulling out a pair of white underwear, a pair of grey shorts, and a dark green short sleeve shirt all of which he put on himself.

As Mushi finished getting dressed he noticed something scurrying across the floor of his bedroom. When it stopped it appeared to be a small woman with light brown skin. She had brown eyes and long reddish brown hair. Her breasts were quite large and so were her hips giving her an hourglass shape. Sprouting from the top of her head was a pair of long thin antennae that curved downward going to her waist. Covering most of her back was a reddish brown oval shaped plate and two small tail like structures each facing away from each other sprouted near the base of her spine. The girl turned and looked straight up at Mushi giving him a cheerful smile. It was then that Mushi recognized her as the cockroach he met at work that followed him home.

“Hello again little guy, or should I say little girl” said Mushi with a smirk as he sat down on the edge of his bed.

“You finally noticed, it’s too bad you can’t see me, then you’ve noticed it much sooner and probably liked me better too” said the cockroach girl in sad tone with a sigh.

“Oh, but I can see you” said Mushi cheerfully as he grinned widely at the cockroach girl.

“What, can you hear me” said the cockroach girl with a surprised gasp.

“Yes I can, now can you please tell me what you mean by I can’t see you” asked Mushi in a nice tone as his grin faded into a straight face.

“Well usually people see us as these icky crawly things; not many of us know about that” said the cockroach girl a little nervous as she rubbed her hands together.

“I don’t find that form disgusting, actually I find it rather beautiful” said Mushi playfully.

“Are you saying you prefer that ugly thing over me” said the cockroach girl in a worried tone becoming all teary eyed with her hands closed together under her chin.

“Not at all, I just don’t find bugs disgusting” said Mushi in a friendly tone as he stuck his right hand outward and waved it back and forth.

“Phew, well that’s a relief, I’m glad that my wish came true” said the cockroach girl with a sigh.

“Wish, what do you mean by that” asked Mushi curiously in a surprised tone.

“Well last night there was this shooting star flying across the sky so I decided to make a wish, I wished that you could see and hear the real me, I didn’t think it would work but I’m glad that it did” said the cockroach girl cheerfully with her eyes closed and smiled calmly as she was holding her hands together over her chest.

“Why would you wish for that” asked Mushi curiously as he bent over to get a better look at her and to get closer to her in general.

“Well first let me introduce myself, my name is Ria and I would like to thank you for saving me from the big scary guy with the spatula and I would like to grant your wish as well Mushi” said the cockroach girl cheerfully as she bowed her head towards Mushi.

“How do you know my name, I only just met you yesterday” said Mushi somewhat shocked.

“Of course I would know your name silly; I wouldn’t be a good girlfriend if I didn’t” said Ria cheerfully as she stretched her arms out slightly to the sides.

“Girlfriend, what are you talking about” said Mushi in shock.

“Did you forget silly, yesterday you were talking about how you wished you had a girlfriend, well now that you can hear and see me it’s possible, that’s the least I can do to thank you for saving me” said Ria cheerfully with a giggle as she put her hand under her mouth with the tips the three middle fingers touching her lips.

“You shouldn’t be my girlfriend just because I saved your life, go be with someone you really like and care for instead” said Mushi in a calm tone.

“Oh, but I do really like you because of your kindness, your bravery, and your yummy food” said Ria in a cheerful tone as she rested her left cheek on her closed hands and had a dreamy expression on her face.

“Look, we’re of two different species and even then you’re like twenty times smaller than me, it’s never going to work out between us” said Mushi in a serious tone.

“How can it not work out for us, could it be that you don’t like me” said Ria in sorrow as her eyes became all teary.

“It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s just that I don’t feel ready for a girlfriend yet and I still need some time to get use to all the bugs suddenly turning into woman, do you understand Ria” said Mushi sincerely as he stared straight into Ria’s eyes.

“I understand, you don’t want to be my boyfriend, you would rather be with a human” said Ria crying as she closed her eyes. Before Mushi could say anything she turned around and ran away; scurrying until she was out of sight.

“Wait, come back Ria” said Mushi concerned as he raised his left hand towards the direction Ria went and getting up off his bed about to go after her.

“Nice job handsome, you’re really good at talking to the ladies I see” said a familiar voice sarcastically in a playful tone.

Mushi looked up into the direction he heard the voice. He saw Lexy hovering over his bed with her arms drooping downwards and her legs bending inwards. The wings on her back were beating rapidly appearing only as a blur to Mushi. She had a big mischievous smile across her face and a look of playfulness in her eyes. She then flew down to the same height as Mushi’s face before she began talking again.

“So handsome did you miss me” said Lexy playfully as she smirked at Mushi.

“No, why did you leave me when I fainted” said Mushi in a harsh tone.

“Well you seemed alright to me so I just left” said Lexy as she shrugged her shoulders.

“Alright, I fainted in the middle of my room, how is that alright to you, do you not care about anyone but yourself” said Mushi angrily as he fell backwards onto his bed but still looking up at Lexy.

“Of course I care, I was worried when you suddenly fell onto the floor, I thought you had died, I was relieved when I heard you were still breathing” said Lexy annoyed as she straightened her arms and clenched her hands into fists.

“You could have at least helped me” said Mushi in a harsh tone as lifted his arms and placed his hands behind his head.

“How could I help you, your twenty times bigger than me” said Lexy still annoyed as she stood stood up, crossed her arms, and turned around so that her back was facing Mushi while still flying.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you weren’t capable” said Mushi apologetically as he calmed down.

“That’s okay, I forgive you handsome” said Lexy cheerfully as she turned back towards Mushi cheerfully smiling at him as she spread her arms a bit.

“You got over that rather quickly” said Mushi calmly as got up and sat on the edge of his bed.

“That’s ‘cause I’m not the type to get angry, now tell me what did you say to the new girl to make her run away like that” said Lexy cheerfully as she gave Mushi a gleeful smile.

“New girl, what do you mean by that exactly” asked Mushi curiously as he moved his head closer to Lexy.

“She just got here yesterday and I have never seen her around town before so she’s the new girl” said Lexy cheerfully as she slowly flew closer to Mushi’s face.

“Well she was asking if she could be my girlfriend and I told her no, it didn’t go so well” said Mushi glumly as he tilted his head towards the ground.

“There, there big guy, no reason to be upset, look on the bright side, at least I won’t have any competition now” said Lexy encouragingly as she patted Mushi on the head.

“You’re not my girlfriend either for the same reasons as the other girl” said Mushi annoyed as his head quickly went up knocking Lexy back a few inches.

“Relax, I was just kidding handsome, so what reasons did you turn her down for” asked Lexy curiously as put her right index finger on the bottom of her chin.

“Isn’t it obvious, your both of different species and sizes, how would it ever workout” said Mushi in a frustrated tone as he threw his arms up into the air.

“Silly, species and size don’t matter handsome for we’re still girls, and how exactly wouldn’t it work out for us” said Lexy in a comforting tone as she flew closer to Mushi’s face.

“Well ah, you’re too small that I could accidently ah, I can’t really talk about it” said Mushi nervously as his face went a bit red.

“Don’t worry about it, I’m sure you can think of a way around it, besides I’m quite stretchy down there, if you want we could go at it right now” said Lexy teasingly with a smirk on her face.

“Stretchy, no thanks” said Mushi confused and wondering what Lexy meant by stretchy.

“Suit yourself, you don’t know what you’re missing” said Lexy playfully as she shrugged her shoulders and put her hands up in the air to the same level as her neck.

“I’ll live, by the way Lexy can I ask you something” said Mushi in a pleasant tone.

“Sure ask me anything handsome” said Lexy cheerfully as she lowered her altitude a bit.

“I feel bad for turning down Ria, I didn’t mean to hurt her feeling, do you know anything I could do to make her feel better” said Mushi glumly and somewhat awkwardly.

“Tell you what handsome, I’ll go find the new girl and talk to her for you while you go and think about whether or not you still want to turn her down or not, sound like a plan” said Lexy sincerely as she flew right up to Mushi’s face and gentle caressed underneath his chin with her right hand.

“Thank you Lexy, that would help me a lot” said Mushi cheerfully knocking Lexy back to her original position.

“Anything for you handsome, oh and remember you owe me for this” said Lexy playfully before turning around and flying out of the room faster than Mushi could count.

“Bye Lexy, I hope we can get along better in the future” said Mushi cheerfully before falling back onto his bed and giving out a loud sigh of relief.

Meanwhile Ria was sitting underneath a bookshelf her head looking at the ground along with her antennae drooping down in disappointment with her face wet from all the tears. Close to the right corner underneath the bookshelf was a small hole that went into the insides of the wall. Suddenly Ria saw something out of the corner of her eye and looked up to see a dark grey skinned girl with fly wings land right in the middle of the hall in front of the bookshelf. The girl turned her head back and forth like she was looking for until she saw Ria. She raised her left hand up high and began waving to her before running towards her.

“You must be the new girl, I’ve been looking everywhere for you” yelled Lexy in a cheerful tone.

“Who are you” asked Ria in a confused tone as she tilted her head to her right side.

“M-my name’s L-Lexy, phew, r-running r-really isn’t my th-thing” said Lexy exhausted as crouched over and put her hands on her knees and panting.

“I’m Ria, so why are you looking for me” ask Ria curiously as she looked up at Lexy.

“You’re new here and since I’m such a nice person I took it upon myself to give you a tour of the place, but first I need to rest, all the running is quite exhausting you know” said Lexy after she caught her breath. She then turned around and sat down right beside Ria.

“You only ran three feet” said Ria in a dissatisfied tone as she crossed her arms.

“Hey, give me a break, I fly most of the time so I rarely ever use my legs” said Lexy annoyed as she turned her head away from Ria.

“Well maybe you should walk on your feet more” said Ria annoyed as she made a hmph noise and puffed out her cheeks.

“Well aren’t you moody miss cockroach” said Lexy mockingly her head still turned away from Ria.

“Look, I just got dumped so I would like to be left alone” said Ria in a serious tone as she got up and walked towards the small hole in the wall.

“Guess I will see ya later then, hopefully when you aren’t as moody” said Lexy cheerfully as she turned her head to look where Ria was going. As she saw her heading towards the hole she got up and followed her.

Ria entered the hole which lead into a long tunnel that was lit up by the small crack in the seam of the corner of the wall. After a few minutes of walking she came to a bright yellow light which was coming from a liquid inside a plastic tube lying against the corner of the tunnel before it made a turn. Before she went around the corner a hand grabbed her right shoulder from behind and pulled her back towards the wall right behind. As she looked forward she saw that the part of the tunnel around the corner was blocked off by a complex network of white threads leaving only little gaps to see what was on the other side. Ria turned her head to see Lexy panting right behind.

“That w-was a close o-one, y-you almost walked in t-to it” said Lexy with a sigh of relief.

“Hey, I could have avoided that on my own” said Ria annoyed as she made a hmph noise and puffed out her cheeks again.

“You couldn’t have even if you did see the web in time, you would’ve tripped over this” said Lexy in a serious tone as she kneeled down right to where the edge of where the two walls met around the corner. She reached down and grabbed something that was about ankle height for them. Ria took a closer look at what Lexy grabbed and noticed that it was a thin semi-transparent thread which she could barely see.

“I could have tripped over that, but what is this doing in the middle of the hallway, it wasn’t here before” said Ria in a worried tone.

“You’re welcome, this was probably a trap set up by her sometime today, I’m surprise that you didn’t run into one yet” said Lexy in a serious tone flinching a bit as she said the word her.

“Who’s her” said Ria worried as she cringed a little at the thought of what she could be.

“Trust me, you don’t want to know” said Lexy in a somewhat fearful tone as she stood up from her kneeling position.

“Well, I am living here so I might as well know about her” said Ria calmly as she could while still worried about what her was.

“You’re right; I don’t know her real name so I call her by what everyone else calls her, the White Widow although she isn’t really white, more of a peach colour like a human, she’s the reason most of us never come into this place” said Lexy in a serious tone as she turned towards Ria.

“Why’s that Lexy” said Ria worried as the worries about who the White Widow could be started getting worse.

“She guards this place keeping out whoever she considers a pest to the humans living here; probably the only ones who make it past her traps are those ant sisters and me, I have been living here for a few months and she hasn’t caught me yet” said Lexy bravely as she raised her right fist into the air triumphantly.

“Hey, I’m not a pest” said Ria annoyed as she clenched both her hands into fists.

“That’s not what she thinks, anyway let’s leave before she comes back, I wouldn’t want to run into her” said Lexy teasingly as she began walking towards the exit of the tunnel.

“What, why would she come back” said Ria in a fearful tone as she followed after Lexy.

“To check if she caught anything in her webs of course, you wouldn’t want to come face to face to her either” said Lexy teasingly as she casually walked down the tunnel.

As they continued walking down the tunnel they eventually got out without too much trouble. Lexy was panting so she sat down right next to the entrance of the tunnel on the left side. Ria was doing fine and managed to calm down and she wasn’t scared or depressed anymore. She then sat down right beside Lexy and stared out into the open hallway.

“Thanks for saving me, I really owe you one, if it weren’t for you I would have fallen in that web and be stuck there for who knows how long” said Ria sincerely as she broke the silence.

“Don’t mention it, it’s nothing really” said Lexy cheerfully as she lay her head on the back of the wall, closed her eyes, and grinned widely with her teeth showing.

“Although where will I sleep for tonight now that the place I was sleeping in yesterday is blocked off by that web” said Ria sadly as she put her head down and her antennae drooped forward.

“Don’t worry, if you don’t have a place to sleep you could always bunk with me” said Lexy cheerfully as she opened her eye turned her head towards Ria.

“Really, thank you Lexy, I wonder where you live in this place” said Ria in an excited tone as a big smile spread across her face and her antennae straighten up to what they were like before she was depressed.

“I can take you there right now and even give you a tour of the place” said Lexy cheerfully as she stood up and walked right out from under the bookshelf.

“Sure, that sounds like a good idea” said Ria enthusiastically as she followed Lexy.

Ria did not follow her for long because as soon as Lexy got far enough away from the bookshelf she spread her wings and began flapping them. Just as her wings were beating fast enough to lift her off the ground she pushed herself off the ground with just her feet sending her rocketing into the air. In seconds she made it few feet into the air before she stopped and hovered to look around for a bit. She then looked down at Ria who was looking up at her from the ground as she was just standing there.

“Hey are you just going to stand there or are you coming, you’re a cockroach so you can fly right” said Lexy playfully as a big grin appeared on her face.

“Of course I can fly, I just don’t usually do it unless I need to” said Ria in an annoyed tone as she clenched her hands into fists.

“Well if you’re planning on keeping up with me you’ll need to” said Lexy teasingly as she gave a big smirk towards Ria.

“Fine” said Ria with a sigh as she bent downward at her knees. Then suddenly the oval shaped plate on her back split apart into two pairs of wings that spread out about an inch or so from her body. She then flapped her wings rapidly and pushed herself off the ground with her wings sending her rocketing to the same height that Lexy was at.

“So you can fly after all” said Lexy teasingly as she crossed her arms in midair.

“Of course I can, just because I don’t keep my wings out all the time doesn’t mean I don’t have them” said Ria in an annoyed tone as she put her arms to her side and clenched them into fists while hovering in the air in front of Lexy.

“Good, now let’s see if you can keep up” said Lexy playfully before zooming off down the hall.

“Hey wait for me” yelled Ria as she flew after Lexy but wasn’t as fast as her.

Lexy and Ria flew down the upstairs hallway with Ria barely being able to keep up with Lexy. They flew through the steps between of the ladder to the attic and turned around the corners in the hallway until Lexy spotted a door that was slightly open. Lexy made a sharp turn and flew directly through the small opening into the room. Ria wasn’t able to react in time and completely flew pass the door Lexy went in. To get back she made a u turn right at the end of the hall and flew towards the door which Lexy went in. As she was going between the opening in the door she accidently clipped her right wings slightly on the door causing her to lose altitude. Seeing a table right in front of her as she entered the room she dove right at it out of instinct. She crash landed on the table with her large breasts cushioning her from the impact of the fall. As she lifted her head up to look in front of her she saw Lexy standing in front of a white house with a light brown tile room.

“What took you so long slowpoke” said Lexy teasingly as she slowly walked towards Ria.

“Y-you c-could have w-waited for m-me to catch u-up” said Ria tiredly as she was panting.

“Well maybe you should fly using your wings more” said Lexy teasingly as she crossed her arms.

“Fine, I’m sorry about the walking thing” said Ria with a sigh as she got up off the ground and stretch out her back along with folding up both
pairs of her wings back into their original state.

“That’s alright, I will improve on my walking once you improve on your flying, sound like a plan” said Lexy playfully as she uncrossed her arms.

“I can do that” said Ria cheerfully as she stretched out her hands to the sided.

“Now come on, I’ll show you around the place” said Lexy playfully as she walked towards the house.

“Your place looks nice, how did you get it” asked Ria curious as she followed behind Lexy.

“This place was already here when I found it and since no one else was using it I took up residents in it and have been living here ever since” said Lexy cheerfully a grabbed the door knob to turn it and open the door.

“I wonder who build this place” asked Ria curiously as both she and Lexy walked into the house.

“Don’t know, anyway here is the house, what do you think of it Ria” said Lexy cheerfully as she turned to face Ria.

The first thing Ria saw when she entered the house was a staircase that lead upstairs which was right in front of the main entrance. As she looked around she saw to the left was the living room which the entire floor was covered in a fern green carpet. In the living room was a large three seat sofa, two armchairs, a long coffee table in the middle of the room, a television resting on a small table, and a large glass cabinet full of chinaware. To the right was the kitchen which had a large round table right in the center of the room surrounded by six wooden chairs. In the corner of the kitchen was an entire kitchen counter complete with kitchen cabinets, a sink, a dishwasher, a fridge, a microwave, a cutting board, and a kitchen knife set.

“Wow, this place looks exactly like a human’s house except smaller” said Ria excitedly as she spread her arms out a little.

“Exactly, except everything is made out of plastic and there’s no electricity” said Lexy cheerfully as she turned towards the stairs and began walking up them.

“What, then how does the TV, lights, or other electric things work in this house work” said Ria in a shocked tone as she followed Lexy up the stairs.

“They don’t, all of them are fake” said Lexy in a serious tone as she got to the top of the stairs.

“Oh, that’s a bit of a disappointment” said Ria in a depressed tone as her antennae drooped in front of her face.

“Hey, cheer up for we’re about to get to the best part” said Lexy playfully as she grabbed Ria by her left arm and dragged her to one of the rooms on the top floor. As Lexy opened the door behind it was a small room with a single closet. Inside the room on the far wall that had a single window was a large bed with a dresser which had a single lap on it.

“Isn’t this one of those rooms that humans sleep in” ask Ria both curiously and excitedly as her antennae straighten back up.

“Correct, this is where you’re sleeping and trust me once you sleep in bed you can never go back” said Lexy playfully as she put her hands
together and rubbed them against each other.

“I have never slept in a bed before” said Ria excitedly as she walked over to the bed and sat down on it.

“You seem excited” said Lexy playfully as she stretched both her hands into the air before placing them behind her head.

“Of course, being in a bed means I will be closer to my boyfriend Mushi, well he’s not really my boyfriend now since he dumped me” said Ria in a tone that went from excited to depressed as she tilted her head forward slightly and her antennae drooped forward.

“Hey, why don’t you just tell me what happened, maybe I can help” said Lexy sincerely as she walked over to Ria and sat down beside her.

“Alright but I don’t see how it will help, my life was saved by him so I went with him and ended up here, I spent lots of time with him yesterday eating and conversing, unfortunately it was mostly one sided since he couldn’t actually hear me so I got depressed, then something amazing happened, when I was laying on the roof last night staring at the sky I saw a shooting star go by so I made a wish, my wish was for him to see my true self, that was when I suddenly heard a loud bang beneath me so I hurried back inside to sleep, the next day my wish came true and he was able to see and hear the real me, but when I proposed to him he turned me down saying he wasn’t ready for me yet which made me really depressed, perhaps it’s time I accept that and move on” said Ria in a gloomy tone as a single tear dropped down from her face.

“While I don’t understand much of what you’re talking about I can tell you one thing, you shouldn’t give up just because he turned you down” said Lexy in an encouraging tone as she turned her head towards Ria.

“But what do I do” asked Ria in a confused tone as she looked up at Lexy.

“That’s easy, just go and spend more time with him until he warms up to you and you’ll get him eventually” said Lexy cheerfully.

“Thanks for the advice Lexy, from now on let’s be great friends” said Ria cheerfully as her antennae straightened back to their original position.

“Glad to hear it, besides I’m sure your charm will win him over, especially with a pair like those” said Lexy playfully as she got up from the bed and grabbed Ria’s large breasts with both hands causing Ria to blush.

“W-well, looks like I got to go see you later Lexy” said Ria in embarrassment as she smacked Lexy’s hands away and ran out the bedroom door.

“Well Mushi looks like you owe me one” said Lexy playfully as a mischievous smirk appeared on her face.

Later that night, Mushi was coming back up the stairs after making himself a bowl of nachos. He placed the bowl down on his dresser before walking over to the window to close the curtains. Outside in his grandmother’s garden he saw fireflies looked like they were dancing in midair their butts emitting a greenish yellow glow lighting up the night. The moths were holding hands with each other spinning around the backdoor light while in mid-air. Mushi closed the currents, grabbed his bowl of nachos, and sat down on his bed. He glanced over two the other window in his room and noticed a pair of moths, one being bigger than the other that looked like they were making out with each other. He also noticed something small peeking out from the side of his bed.

“Ria, you don’t have to hide” said Mushi calmly as he grabbed one of the nacho chips covered in toppings and ate it.

“How did you know I was here” asked Ria curiously as she crawled up from the side of the bed.

“Simple, you kept sticking your head up, want some nachos” said Mushi calmly as he picked up another chip with toppings and ate it.

“Yes please” said Ria excitedly as she ran up to the left of Mushi and sat down beside him.

Mushi grabbed a nacho chip with some topping on it and handed it to Ria. Ria took the nacho chip from him and began eating it. They continued eating the nachos until the bowl was empty. Mushi placed the empty bowl on top of the dresser.

“Those nachos tasted great, this is the most I have ever eaten in my life” said Lexy cheerfully as she was rubbing the bulge on her belly from all the food she ate.

“Glad you like them, sorry about turning you down but I couldn’t think of another way” said Mushi in a serious tone as he turned his head and looked down at Ria.

“That’s alright, it’s my fault anyway, I shouldn’t assume that you would be my boyfriend, I was so excited about finally being accepted that I rushed things when I should have waited” said Ria in a somewhat gloomy tone as she place her hands down to her sides.

“What do you mean by being accepted” asked Mushi curiously.

“I wasn’t always living here; I use to travel around a lot occasionally meeting up with members of my family but no matter where I went humans’ despised me. They would hit me with newspapers and flyswatters, try to cut me up with knives, and spray horrible tasting chemicals at me that stung my eyes and make it hard to breath, but you were the very first human who was ever kind to me and I’m grateful for that” said Ria sincerely as she closed her eyes and held both of her hands together in front of her chest.

“Life as a cockroach sure sounds harsh” said Mushi in a concerning tone.

“That’s alright, it doesn’t matter if you’re my boyfriend or not, I’m just glad that I’m being accepted finally” said Ria in a cheerful bliss as she returned to her original sitting position.

“Actually I have been thinking it over and now I don’t see any big problems with you being my girlfriend” said Mushi in a sincere tone.

“Does this mean you’re my boyfriend and I’m your girlfriend” said Ria excitedly as she quickly jumped off the ground into a standing position and looked up at Mushi.

“Yes it does” said Mushi cheerfully.

“Thank you, thank you, you’re the best boyfriend ever” said Ria excitedly as she ran up to Mushi’s arm and hugged it as she closed her eyes her bare breasts pressing against Mushi’s arm causing him to blush a bit.

After the hugging was done the two of them talked for a bit until Ria got tired. Ria climbed down the side of the bed and ran off into the hallway disappearing from Mushi’s sight. Once Ria was gone he layed down in his bed and threw the covers over him. I wonder if I made the right choice he thought to himself before falling asleep.

Chapter 1 Comments:

Mushi is surprisingly calm around dangerous and dirty bugs. Truth be told, if I was Mushi, I would have a VERY hard time sleeping with flies and cockroaches in my face every morning and night. O_O He does have a thing for bugs though, what an odd guy. I wonder if he likes Pokemon? Hehe..

Seems there is other folk in the area that date bugs, since you mentioned a 30-something homeless (?) man kissing a lady bug. Still, you have yet to confirm if they are actually in some kind of illusionary form or if they can shapeshift at will.

Apparently Mushi's employer and co-worker don't have a clue about the insects' ability to speak (apart from the rumor(?) that fairies rape/eat people), so there goes my theory that the entire town already knows exactly about what is going on.

The story picked up for me at the peach colored black widow spider. I was in shock when he casually picked her up. You did an excellent job at setting up this particular scene. I'm guessing that Mushi's grandma has a really good idea of what is going on as well. She appears to have a sort of alliance with the bugs herself, since she lets them them stay in her house peacefully and without worry. Grandma seemed to STRONGLY hint that she wants Mushi to hook up with a bug girl, which leaves even more questions as to why. I'm sure I'll find out a whole lot more in the next chapter though. :)

I noticed some errors and misspellings, but since you hadn't asked us to point them out I did not do so.

That is because he became use to it happen spending almost a week living with his grandmother. Whether he likes pokemon I haven't really thought about it but I will be sure but that might bring some ideas for the future bonus content.
Feathers wrote: Seems there is other folk in the area that date bugs, since you mentioned a 30-something homeless (?) man kissing a lady bug. Still, you have yet to confirm if they are actually in some kind of illusionary form or if they can shapeshift at will.

Apparently Mushi's employer and co-worker don't have a clue about the insects' ability to speak (apart from the rumor(?) that fairies rape/eat people), so there goes my theory that the entire town already knows exactly about what is going on.
That you will find out in the next chapter once I get around to working on it. Originally the first and second chapters were going to be one but I decided to split them up due to length for it was quite long. Also I wanted to build up alot of tension before introducing any of the bug girls as well of giving an introduction to a butch of characters that are going to reappear later in the story.
Feathers wrote: The story picked up for me at the peach colored black widow spider. I was in shock when he casually picked her up. You did an excellent job at setting up this particular scene. I'm guessing that Mushi's grandma has a really good idea of what is going on as well. She appears to have a sort of alliance with the bugs herself, since she lets them them stay in her house peacefully and without worry. Grandma seemed to STRONGLY hint that she wants Mushi to hook up with a bug girl, which leaves even more questions as to why. I'm sure I'll find out a whole lot more in the next chapter though. :)
That will come later in the story but I will tell you this, in the next chapter alot is going to happen.

I noticed some errors and misspellings, but since you hadn't asked us to point them out I did not do so.
Actually I was thinking of asking for help with that since there are times when I make grammar mistakes that my Microsoft Word editor doesn't pick up or that I miss when looking over my work when making sure I didn't miss anything important, but I decided to wait until I finished the second chapter since that is when the real action begins. Also do the posts have a word limit because I have never thought of it before and if they do should I make extra posts after my current post so that all the chapters would easy to locate and people wouldn't have to go through the pages to find them.

Edit: After having a look at Shadow of Legend's story One Take on the New Demon Lord's Rise to Power and the fact that he has a total of 167 chapters I am assuming that there isn't on now (either that or the word limit is really large).

Chapter 1 Comments:

You have a pretty unusual hero; not many people are fond of insects. Reminds me of an uncle of mine who's an Biologist specialized in Arachnology, and had his home full of all kinds of insect cages, all of them with spiders. The rest of the cast seem quite the nice bunch, I had a rather fun time imagining this Gin fellow trembling like jelly because of the roach.

The legend of the insect woman seems quite interesting; I assume it's that kind of local folklore that every small town has. Yet it seems like Rick has a rather vague idea of the legend, which seems somewhat odd. Is he from another town, or was he raised somewhere else?

Also, it seems like Mushi's grandmother knows of many things as well; as the way she regarded the black widow made me think that she's well aware that there's something concerning the insects. It's a bit still hard to give out a precise opinion about the story with just one chapter, still, I do like how it's developing. I hope to get a better grasp of the plot once I read the second chapter.

Btw, I really like the way you describe every scene carefuly and how you picture the details; it makes quite easy for the reader to picture everything in his mind. And overall, your story kinda reminds me of Gochika! Cockroach Girls for some reason. Must be because Mushi was kind to the cockroach.

Didn't found any grammar error or misspelling, but given that English is not my native lang, maybe I just didn't notice them.

Well it is a story about bugs so it would be kind of excepted that the protagonist (not to mention that Mushi means bug in japanese, why else do you think I gave him that name). I see you are enjoying the cast so far, wait until I introduce the girls.

Rick is actually from Feithidi and that is actually one of the local folk stories from the town. Although that is not to say that the legend is entirely correct for sometimes stories are over exaggerated or changed a bit if you know what I mean.

Now that will be revealed later in the story. Both what Mushi's Grandmother really knows and what exactly the peach colored black widow is.

Thank you, I tend to be really descriptive and precise with my writing both with stories and creating custom canon. Also Gochika! Cockroach Girls is one of the things that inspired me to do this. The other was this japanese webcomic about stink bug girls which the website for it was deleted before I had the chance to really look into it (which is kind of ironic since the stink bug character that was originally going to be in it got removed during my revision of the story).

I really liked it. I am a person who really likes insects, arachnids, earthworms and molluscs, I never kill cockroaches, instead I catch them in my hands, tell them they cannot stay inside and put the out in the garden. I usually catch spiders in a jar and release them outside, in fact:

I like to get along with insects and creatures that will not harm me. I just won't handle centipedes as their bite may kill you. I liked the story, I thought Ria was very cute. I look forward to seeing Aunt Maria the White Widow and any of the other girls who keep sneaking in to see him.

Thanks for comment, I will try to get around to the third chapter again since I have been putting it off and my laptop dying hasn't helped much.

So I have a few things less than praise for this story. It has good ideas with a decent story behind the words, and I hope you continue with it, but it needs some editing pretty badly.

First, learn to use pronouns and other methods of referring to people. Mushimushimushimushimushi doesn't sound too good. Repeating a word many times in a row makes it lose meaning and actively drives me towards not paying attention to what you're saying. This is especially prevalent in the beginning of the first part.

Second, a few words are wrong in meaning, such as your insistence on using the word currents instead of curtains. Should be self explanatory why this is an issue.

Third, things in quotation marks still need proper punctuation. Having a bunch of sentence fragments separated by commas is not how a person speaks, and does a poor job of getting a persons style of speech across as well as being annoying to read.

Even though I've just finished ragging on you for some writing issues, I still hope you continue writing this. Please continue improving and regale us with a tale of a boy and his bugs of the like we have never seen before!

One of the things I plan on doing is editing the previous chapters with the current style of writing I am using for the roleplay I'm running back on the MGU forums. Unfortunately I have been busy in real life as of late so I haven't really been getting around to doing it. Once I'm not as busy I will try to get around to starting up the story again which I have been putting off for way too long.
