The sunlight greeted the passengers on board this antique steam train. More than a hundred years old and she was still running trips between my home land of Almia and the Sinnoh Region just north of us.
I leaned back in my chair and stretched as the train came to its stop in icy, icy Snowpoint city. "Finally!" I exclaimed, letting out a long satisfied sigh with my shoulders clicking rather loudly.
I was never the tallest at only five feet in height my facial features closely resembled that of my biological mother, Xerneas, albeit that my muzzle was a bit shorter. Otherwise the fur colouration was the same with me having a black front half and blue back with a small tail. My five fingered hands were black in colour with golden fingernails akin to my feet. Unlike my birth mother I didn't have the horns but I did have a set of ears much like her own alongside golden lines trailing from under my eyes and down to the back of my neck in a style similar to a crown. I had a small but muscular build.
Snowpoint was actually quite different from my original home in that… well… it was a hell of a lot colder than the equatorial region I stayed in. Aside from that the temple could be seen probably for miles in either direction. It was a cold, windy day the sun, however, was out which made it a bit more bearable.
I reached over my shoulder and into my backpack, searching for the map I'd strategically placed just above the capsule case with all of my belongings in it. "Where's that goddamned map." I muttered just before I managed to pull it out.
And as soon as that was done the wind billowed and ripped it from my hands. "Curse you butter fingers!" I cried out as I ran after the map using a nearby bench to freestyle my way to the top of the train and run along it to catch that forsaken map.
As I was about to get it, just between my index and 'fuck you' fingers I ran out of train barely manage to kick off back onto the loading platform.
"Look out be-OW!" I cringed as I connected with the ground, unknowingly with someone having broken my fall. Once I came to the realisation, several things ran through my mind. One; I may have hurt someone. Two; I don't know who that someone is.
I got up and examined the person; she had prominent, icy blue bangs with diamond shaped ears atop her head and wore a sailor-like uniform and a mini-skirt. Taken by her beauty for a moment it took a while to realise that the person was a she. But the real problem, not so much as sexual harassment charges, was that she was still out cold.
I shook her lightly. "Are you okay?" I inquired, this was followed by her emitting a light groan followed by my own sigh of relief.
Time suddenly stopped as they looked at each other, dead in the eyes. It took a moment for them to come back out of that trance-like state when she opened her mouth in shock. I soon followed as I realised I was sitting on her waist with my hands on either of her shoulders.
"I am so sorry Miss." I jolted, getting off of her at lightning speed and dropping into a bow. "It was an accident, I swear!" I continued.
Tears seemed to well up in her eyes but her fist clenched and her teeth were grinding with rage fuelling her mind. 'That is the first time a boy has ever gotten so close to me.' She seethed, she was just about ready to beat me to a pulp with the aura enveloping her.
Suddenly all of that rage and that icy blue aura vanished when our eyes met again once I'd straightened up from my bow. My odd yellow eyes and her beautiful sapphire eyes.
She stepped back a bit but stopped when something touched her feet. She bent down and picked up the small map. "Hey, this is my address." She said upon reading the crumpled piece of paper with a red ring around one house labelled Eevee residence.
"You live there?" I inquired, unknowingly forgetting the whole incident.
"Yes, I do. But why is my home labelled in red."
"Well uhh… yeah. My parents are taking a trip around the world and kinda gave me that address saying that's where I'll be staying, schooling and working while they're away and…"
"Oh! So you're the new butler my dad's been talking about."
"Yeah I uh… guess so." I replied nervously.
"Wow, I never expected our first meeting would be like this." She slowly said.
"Oh and about what happened, I'm really sorry, I truly, truly am, miss. Please forgive me." I bowed slightly.
"It's fine… really." She said with a slight blush. "And please don't call me miss. I have a name you know, it's Gen, short for Geneva. I'm a Glaceon, and you?"
"Oh well, it's not often you meet someone named after a city. I'm Mike, Mike Hunter actually, kind of ironic given how my mother was well… a deer. I'm Xerneas' kid." I replied, adding that last part a bit light heartedly while offering a handshake.
Gen took my hand with a smile and a light blush before starting up another conversation. "So… do you want to go back to my house with me? I'll introduce you to my sisters. They were overjoyed when they heard dad was hiring a butler." She smiled and proceeded in the direction of her home.
"Sisters…?" My eye twitched lightly. 'I'm gonna be in a house full of girls… I was told nothing about this.' I thought to myself.
"Hmm? Is something bothering you?" She inquired, stopping in her tracks to look at me.
"No… not at all… lead the way miss… I mean, Gen." I sputtered.
'He's so cute.' She mentally squealed.
Just outside of her home she paused and looked back at me. "You should probably know something though. My family is a bit umm… big."
"How big?" I inquired.
"I have five sisters, three older, one twin sister and one younger sister."
My eye gave a small twitch that seemed to make her a bit nervous but I smiled nonetheless. I chuckled nervously before speaking. "So umm… what's it like having five sisters."
"Chaos." She replied with a smile seemingly devoid of emotion.
"Oi vei." I sighed.
