*I'm thrilled to see how many people have viewed the first chapter and liked it. :-)
As noted in the comments on chapter 1, this series has become an active one due to the unexpected popularity and chapters will be submitted one by one in between the other active writing and drawing projects (as of this moment, the next chapter of Meeting the New Enemy is live).
Like the Aoyu universe of a few of the other stories like the Enemy series and Winter Warmth, I will slowly build the world and have started on the first bits for the character encyclopedia. Some things will be getting a dedicated chapter like how the different worlds came into contact and how anyone can travel between them for instance (as much scientifically plausible as is possible, otherwise you'll just have to take my word for it ;-) ).
Post any questions in the comments or throw me a feedback and I'll try to answer them directly or I will let you know if it's something that will come up in a later chapter.
Speaking of chapters, most won't be very long due to the nature of this series but there will be a lot of them (currently about 20 more ideas on file apart from the 11 chapters written until now). I planned to feature each of the girls on a volume cover, which means I have at least 49 more chapters to write now with 10 chapters per volume.
*Well then, Guy found himself suddenly living with a girl, and of a different species as well, together with an interesting duty. But he won't get a chance to get used to the current situation just yet.

The next morning Guy woke up feeling something heavy on his chest. He blinked his eyes to get the fuzzy blur out of his sight but it was still there. And now it growled.
'Wake up human.'
He tried to focus again and this time he recognised the blur as a canine with black thick fur, baring its fangs partially. 'What's going on?' he asked, unsure if he was still dreaming.
'That's my line.' the canine growled.
'What?'
'What indeed.'
He closed his eyes again and sighed. 'Wait, start anew. Who are you and why are you here?'
'I'm asking the questions here.' it growled, leaning closer to his face. 'Who are you and why are you here?'
'I live here!'
'Cani?' he heard Feli say next to him.
He realised only now that Feli had crawled against him in her sleep, holding his arm in her hands. 'You know her?' he asked, turning his head to face her.
'Yeah, she's the daughter of the Hound family. We were in class together. Why are you here?' she asked, looking at the canine.
'I heard you came on the same exchange program as I did.' Cani said, her threatening growling gone, replaced by a concerned tone in her husky voice. 'Then when I heard you went missing I looked for you until I heard you were seen in this area. I search around, caught your scent and followed it to find you in the clutches of this human.' She looked at Guy and bared her fangs again. 'Did he hurt you?' she asked, the growl back in her voice.
'What? No!'
'He didn't abuse you?'
'No!'
'I figured he must've done something because you never got close to any boy or man.'
Now Feli noticed she had crawled up to him in her sleep and was still holding him tight. 'Oh!' she said and looked at Guy, letting go of his arm. 'Gomen.'
He grinned. 'No problem. It's nice to feel your soft warm hands.'
'Hey, don't get all over her.' Cani growled, her muzzle closer to his face.
'How could I, when you're all over me?'
'Ah. Right.' she said, taken aback by his logic.
'Look at you.' Feli said, sitting up. 'You're a mess.'
'Ah.' Cani said, realising her fur, shirt and pants were filthy from running all over town.
'Shower's that way.' said Guy and gestured at the bathroom.
Cani looked into that direction. 'Ah.'
When she didn't move from his chest he looked at Feli.
'She has always hated baths. Going into water was never her strong point.' Feli said.
'Well, it's a shower, I'd think that should be less of a problem.' he said.
'I still think we need to help her.'
At that moment Cani tried to run off but Feli grabbed onto her. 'Quick! Grab her!'
Guy rolled over and grabbed Cani's arms. Cani struggled but together they managed to move her to the shower. There she tripped him and Guy ended up on the floor with Cani in his arms.
'No! Let go!' Cani whined while struggling.
He reached out, took the showerhead and turned on the water on themselves.
'Aaahh!' she screamed as her head became wet.
'Hold her!' Feli said as she undressed Cani.
She still struggled but a lot less now so Feli had little trouble getting her out of her dirty clothes.
'Can you get her ready? I'm going to get the shampoo.' Feli asked, shaking herself dry.
'Yeah.' he said as he held Cani with his legs and washed her head and back.
'You're so mean..' Cani whined.
'Sorry.' Guy said. 'But we can't have you running around like some dirty mongrel. You're much too pretty for that.'
For a moment her ears pricked up, then went flat again. 'Don't make fun of me.'
'I'm serious. You're a pretty colour.'
She sighed and he felt her relax a little more. 'Okay then.'
'I got the shampoo.' Feli said and sat down in front of Cani and looked at her. 'What did you say to her?' she asked Guy.
'Why?' he asked while he continued washing her back without having to keep her trapped in his legs.
'Nothing.' said Cani, looking down. 'Let's just get this over with.'
Feli took the showerhead while Guy shampood Cani's back. 'This isn't so bad right now, is it?'
Cani slowly shook her head but kept her ears flat.
'I'm ready.' Guy said and leaned sideways to look at Feli. 'Woww.' he said when he saw her wet fur body and leaned back.
'What's wrong?' Feli asked.
'Nothing. Nothing at all. But maybe it's better if I left the rest up to you.'
Cani turned back to him. 'Hey, you started this, so you finish it too.'
He saw Cani's soaped shape and quickly looked away. 'It's not that I wouldn't want to, but it's not a custom here for men and women to wash each other when they're not, ehmm, intimately involved.'
'But you did.' Cani said.
'This is an exception. You wouldn't have gotten in here if I didn't help.'
'Why would you have to be intimate?' Feli asked.
'Because for a man beautiful curves are stimulating.'
'Stimulating?' Cani asked.
'Did you both by any chance go to a conservative all girls school?'
'Yes?' Feli said.
'You didn't learn what happens when a man is attracted to a woman? What we refer to as the birds and the bees and flowers?'
Feli pondered about what he meant for a moment, then it dawned on her. 'Oh. Ohhh.' she said, feeling embarrassed.
'Indeed. So it's better I get out now.'
