For some reason, after watching some Familiar of Zero, or Zero no Tsukaima, I noticed that another certain couple in an anime I enjoy have the same exact problems. So…let's put them in the same realm!
Sousuke, prepare to meet Saito, Kaname, prepare to meet Louise.
Full Metal Familiar!
Prolouge – Malfunction
The day, Saito reflected, was rather peaceful. Be it for one reason or another Louise seemed to be in a good mood. And you know what? If he wasn't getting blown up, it wasn't a problem for him. However, she seemed to be up to something..he overheard her chant something from the greens of the school ground. He was just minding his own buisness sitting by a wall. Is she trying to get better at Void Magic? She already was pretty good at it. Saito sighed. He just wouldn't understand her.
"Saito?" Louise demanded of her familiar turned boyfriend, though she still had trouble sometimes accepting the latter. It had been so long since she first summoned him. She had berated herself for screwing up. Saito looked up at her.
"Yes, Louise?" he replied, caution deep in his mind. Whenever she seemed calm and asked him something, he'd end up being blown up, or having her shoe in his face. He paled, reflecting on it.
"Stupid familiar. I'm not going to blow you up. This time." Now THIS was odd. Louise with a sense of humor? Saito knew something was up now.
"Louise, if I may ask. You're in a good mood today. Any reason why?" There, he went out and said it. Either he gets detonated like the trintouleune back in his world, or he gets kicked in the face. What did he have to lose?
"Well..I…" she flushed. Why was she so nervous? She'd been practicing it, giddy that there was a way for him to be happy, and for her to be happy! "I figured something out concerning a certain branch of Void Magic…" Saito looked up, clearly intrested.
"How? There aren't any books around here about Void Magic, right? After all, it was a dead magic before I decided to come along." Louise gave an uncharacteristic smile, and turned, her pink hair slowly blowing in the wind.
"The place I summoned you from, what did you call it? Jaban?" Louise pondered. It had been so long, she forgot.
"Japan, Louise. Tokyo, to be percise. But I don't see how this is relavent." Saito froze, suddenly realizing something. "Unless…" Louise turned back at him, with an expression that told a mixture of happiness and fear.
"Yes, Saito. A-As your master, I should, once in a while, let you roam free, but you know what? There happens to be a rare spell that allows a Master and her Familiar to travel to the Familiar's home world." Louise spat that out. She wasn't even sure if it'd work, but there was a chance it would.
"B-But Louise!" Saito shouted at her, as if she wouldn't be able to hear him unless he did. "I thought there wasn't a way!" His head shot down dejectedly. After all this time, there was a way, and she never told him? He loved her to death, but sometimes…
"Saito. I-I only figured this out recently myself..I'm not even sure if it'll work, and I'm afraid to try. B-But, I'm no longer Louise the Zero!" she stood up, making herself look big. It was kind of cute actually, Saito dully noted. She did the same against a golem before he saved her. He stood up, and walked over to her.
"It'll be fine, Louise. You always find ways to impress me, and you'll do it this time, too!" Shooting a grin at her that would usually get him turned into cinders, she, oddly enough, smiled.
"Okay, now. Would you like to try it with me now? Or after our meal?" Louise wanted to know, just incase something happened and they ended up in the middle of the ancient past.
"Now should be fine." Saito said, checking his back for Gungnir, who was sitting in his usual spot. Saito had worn him for so long, he forgets that he's there sometimes.
"Ok, n-now hold onto my left arm." Louise commanded him, biting back a blush as she felt his arm around hers. She started chanting odd words, and imagined the staff of destruction, and the odd contraption he flew. That had to be the link to his time, right? As she finished the spell, a feeling of vertigo shot through her, and her eyes slammed shut. Worried, she focused her attention to her arm. Saito was still holding on, albeit tighter now. The feeling vanished, and they both opened their eyes. Saito blinked a few times.
"T-This is Tokyo, no doubt about it. ..But, something's off.." he took a few steps forward.
A man with a scar and a blue haired girl ran past.
Whew, came out better than I thought it would. I don't think I got the characters right, I haven't nearly watched this anime the many times over I have of Full Metal Panic!, so anyway. Chapter 1 – A Twisted Future, comes soon!
