Little Master.
I do not own Skip Beat.
Enjoy!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like being birthed a second time with the mind of an adult?
Fujiwara Akinari found that out unfuntately, his new parents had no idea that he had been screaming all the way through the horrors of being reborn again.
He screamed his little longs out until his little body gave out and his newly formed throat couldn't take it anymore.
The next time he woke up, he found out, he was as blind as a bat, he couldn't see anything but he was sure, he could hear giant footsteps approaching where he was. He attempted to crawl away but his body was as heavy as a stone and he looked awkward while doing it, not to mention absolutely adorable trying to get his body to work.
Giant hands picked him up, much to his shock.
"Little master, did I wake you? Are you hungry?" A voice said and Fujiwara was in shock.
ENGLISH!?
Was the person holding him up an Englishman? And he wondered if the guy was classed as good looking than his little sister would be all of him, like a bee to a flower.
And it would be just so painful to watch from a bystanders prospective.
The last thing he remembered was getting really drunk, he had been so wasted that he couldn't even see two feet in front of him, and neither could his friends so nobody could drive them home.
Did he die?
Was there an accident and he died?
Fujiwara felt himself being moved, and he got the feeling the man was sniffing him, which was beyond weird for him, before he was immediately pushed back.
"Little master, your diaper needs to be changed" The man said, and Fujiwara wasnot amused, it wasn't his fault that he couldn't even roll his head, let alone know what was going down in his 'diaper' area.
Was he a baby?
Why else, would the man talk to him like he was some kind of idiot, he was then lifted up like he weighed almost nothing and placed him down on a mat, if he could, he would have seen the man's face wondering how to do this.
Before reading a parenting book, before gaining a look of confidence on his face as he followed the steps.
The guy had to hold his nose, when the diaper came undone, even the baby was looking disgusted before he sent it to it's rightful place.
The trash can, before he deciding it would be better if he washed the baby and changed him into some fresh and comfortable clothes.
And Fujiwara had never been scrubbed by another man before, it made him feel extremely awkward all the way through, before he was washed and put into a tiny elephant onesie that just looked adorable on him.
And even though he couldn't see what was going on, he felt his face heat up when he heard the familiar click of a camera, which made him more self conscious about what was happening to him, before he was picked gently, and placed back into his crib.
The man than looked confused, wondering if he should kiss the baby goodnight or just leave, both the master and the mistress placed him in charge of the little master, so he would have to take care of him and protect him as best as he could.
He kissed the child's forehead and said. "Goodnight little master" before tucking the baby in and switching the light off before gently closing the door behind him.
But Fujiwara refused to sleep.
His eyelids felt heavy.
Damn it.
#2 months later#
Now, that his eyesight was all cleared up, he could finally see where he was and what the person apparently taking care of him looked like, only to be shocked to see that the person taking care of him wasn't a man, but a boy.
Well, maybe 15 or 16 years old, but still considered a boy by the law.
The boy wore black framed glasses and had short black hair, dressed in an expensive looking butlers uniform, over his pocket was the design of a pink rose, later Fujiwara would find out that, that rose was the symbol for his family.
It had two meanings to those who wore it, if your rose was silver than it meant you were an actual member of the family related by blood to the head of house, if it was green than you worked for the family, however if it was pink and it rear, than the family owned you and you are bound to serve through special circumstances.
Fujiwara was also shocked to find himself in a very large room surrounded by lot of baby toys and just by sitting on the carpet, just felt like he could roll up and just die there happily because of how comfortable it was.
What he saw all indicated, he had been born into a very high up family in this world, yes a very wealthy family and he would probably not have to worry about working another day in his life as long as he fit in with what was expected of him.
At first, Fujiwara thought this young guy might be his father, after all he had some stories of ridiculously young children becoming parents from all over the world, until he realized the young man called him 'little master' and wasn't playing dress up in that butlers uniform but it was actually his profession, so his parents probably handed him over to the boy, the first chance they get, since he had yet to see a hair of them.
Was he an only child or did he have sibling or two, and if so, where were they?
He know absolutely nothing of the world outside the large room.
Which meant his parents were probably work a holics, who by some miracle found a way to get together for one night to produce a child, that they had no intention of raising.
"Little master, that's great." The boy said, seeing how neat his coloring was and how he stayed inside the lines or tried to anyway, Fujiwara couldn't help but feel proud of his accomplishment even though, it was extremely petty and a grown man shouldn't be feeling proud over a coloring book.
But he was bored.
"Now little master, do you remember this?" The boy said, getting out an animal book and curse his childlike body, he couldn't stop the delight he felt from that incredible simple book for small children making an appearance.
The man, that took a hold of him and placed him on his lap, in between the book and himself, before opening the book op to reveal a cartoonish picture of the pig and saying in a very dumbed down voice. "The pig goes oink, can you say 'oink'?"
And Fujiwara wanted to die, when his mouth to his horror began to try and mouth the words and make the sound without him realizing it.
"Very good little master" The man said, with a smile, before turning the page slowly to reveal a sheep and said. "Now this a sheep, little master, can you say 'baa'"
It was then Fujiwara know this was going to be a very long day.
#3 year later#
The now young man found himself in a pickle, how do you stop a hyperactive three year old, who just wouldn't sit still?
"Can't catch me! Can't catch me!" Fujiwara said, he felt like he was drugs, his three year old body was just bursting with too much energy, to be healthy, as he felt like he could literally bouncing off the walls and become the next generation of the flash, before he was suddenly caught and picked up, by two large hands.
"Caught you" The young man said, and the toddler pouted in his arms.
"How come you always catch me?" The toddler said.
"I'll tell you, when your big like me" The young man said, making the toddler pout once more.
"Elias, why can't I go outside?" The toddler said, making the man pause before the man's face paled, at the sudden realization.
The little master know nothing beyond this room.
When was the last time, he had take the little master outside for a walk?
Elias, couldn't honestly remember, as he asked himself, did the little master even know what his name was?
He than realized to horror that he been calling him little master since day one and the child most likely thought his name was really 'little master', since he hasn't been told otherwise.
It was then he made a conviction.
"Little master, we're going outside" He said, while the toddler wondered why he suddenly looked so motivated, oh well, he was just happy to finally go outside.
Eilas, was more than happy to dress him in a expensive black fur coat and told him that he could take one stuff toys with him on the walk, something his premature body was thrilled about while his adult brain felt like shooting itself.
Unfortunately his new found urges won out and he settled on a big blue bear before he finally took a step outside the room, what struck him first was how bright everything was, until he got used to it and was shocked to be greeted with a large magnificent corridor, Fujiwara thought he would never see such a luxerious corridor in all both of his lives.
Just looking at the ceiling made him feel extremely poor when he thought about his old life despite his income being okay, his self esteem in himself would have reached an all time low if he didn't remind himself that he was born into the family that owned the whole place.
But god help those who didn't have a very rich family to fall back on.
The servants they passed, were shocked to see the little master for the first time in years, because the last time they saw him, he was just a baby who wasn't even two hours old, they each formally introduced themselves to him along with, asking him if he was hungry or if he needed something.
Of course, he couldn't possible remember all of their names, but he would remember they were all very nice, probably because his family was paying all their salaries and if they did something he didn't like, he could have them sacked.
And he didn't think it would look good on their CV, if it was exposed they used to work for a very rich and powerful family, which mostly likely pays a lot more, than most jobs out there, that they we're sacked from it because they offended one of it's family members in some way.
So by the time he was outside the grand doors, he had picked up several mars bars and one snicker bar.
Fujiwara was in awe at the large garden in front of them, that bloomed with roses, buttercups and tulips.
He heard a small chuckle, as the hand, he didn't realize he was holding, let go of him and he was allowed to run through the beautiful garden.
His guardian followed closely behind him.
The guards received a shock when the little master came running through the garden before they smiled at the toddler and went back to work, making sure nobody get in to try to kidnap the child.
"Everything, so pretty!" The toddler said, it was truly mind blowing, whoever kept this garden looking this truly loved their work.
"Oscar" came a voice from behind him and Fijawa turned around to find his guardian about to open his mouth and speak again. "That's your name, it's Oscar, Oscar Sebastian Keneth, the fifth, that's what your father and mother called you when you were born."
And all Fujiwara could think of was.
Why Oscar?
It sounded like, what you would name your favorite dog.
#9 years later#
Fujiwara or Oscar as he was more known to the world as was now 12 years old, he had only ever seen his parents twice and the first time he hadn't even known he had done it, he didn't know that the extremely business looking couple were actually his parents until Elias made an effort to greet them, with that extra soul put into it, like how he greeted him in the mornings.
Oscar couldn't be mistaken when he saw shear gratitude and admiration in Elias eyes when he addressed the man who was enough of an ass, to never directly introduce himself to his own son, not even half a decade later, nor pop by and say hi.
Clearly there was some hidden history between the two of them.
And like he first thought, they were extremely busy people, within minutes they had packed their things and left, not paying any attention to the world around them or releasing the just passed their own son.
How on earth does people like that, even find time to make a son in the first place?
It was also through those minutes did he realize his white fluffy hair and blue eyes, although was an odd combination was completely generic despite making him look older than he was from behind, but it worked for him, especially when he had played dates with other children who wanted nothing more than to pat his head and feel it, as if he was a cute adorable poppy.
And he had never been so popular with much old women before.
Wink.
Although...he didn't enjoy his play dates much because, he was unfortunately in the line of fire of a snot nosed brat or two, who have grown so used to having everything they wanted because of who their parents were and didn't like it when somebody told them no.
He was sure Elias felt like spanking some of them, as much he did on several occasions and the wailing, my god, he felt like having Elias go out and buy a gun and shoot the kid just to make them shut the hell up.
He was sure, Elias was weighing it in his mind, if the punishment was worth doing the crime.
Now than Oscar was facing a certain issue.
The current issue, was the fact, that just last week something weird happened.
Kuon Hizuri, the dead son of Julie and Kuu Hizuri, reveal to the world he was in fact alive, he saw it all in HD but it did leave him with a very creepy realization.
Doesn't his own Elias look a lot like Kuon Hizuri?
If he wore to compare the two side by side, you would find the resemblance extremely freaky to look.
Sure the man, always wore round classes and his hair was cut differently but Oscar had also seen him go without those glasses a lot, like when he decided to bath with him, when he was toddler, due to reading a parenting book.
That he should really burn by the way.
And now, he couldn't stop thinking about it.
Did the man even know Kuon Hizuri existed?
Now that he thought about it, Elias spent all his day with him and he had no idea what he gets up to once he's fast asleep, he highly doubted the man cracked open a Japanese model and star magazine, every single day or weekend.
He had know Elias for years and he certain wasn't the type to be keeping tabs on celebrity gossip on those outside the country unless it would affect the family he served in some kind of way.
Yep, he was pretty sure, Elias didn't know who the hell Kuon Hizuri is or his creepily unholy resemblance to the big star, that was so much that it would make a lot of people go after him for his blood and DNA, if he graced the streets of Japan.
"Little master... you've been staring at me for a while now. Is there something the matter?" The man said, well of course he noticed, his charge was really starting to creep him out, he had been strange for a week now.
"...Elias, I know this is a strange request but can you take off your glasses?" Ocas said, knowing it was strange indeed.
Elias gave him a blank look before he complied and took them off.
His chargers eyes momentary widened in surprise, Elias wanted to ask why his charge looked so surprised when this wasn't the first time his face was exposed to him.
Elias, had grown up as an English orphanage and was extremely grateful when he was taken into his master family, he didn't have time to sit down and watch T.V shows when he was Oscar age so he had no idea who Kuu, Julie or even Kuon was, he wouldn't be able to name the most popular stars out there nor did he care.
"Elias, how old are you?" His charge said.
Now this was getting stranger.
"I'll be 26 this year, little master?" The man replied, wondering why his charge eyes went wide and what he said next was even stranger.
"We should go to Japan" His charge said.
"Huh?" He said, "Pardon me, little master but why should we go to Japan?" Did the young master want to go there to buy a toy or something before it was available in Britain? "If you want something from that country, we can always order online or talk directly to the provider, there's no need to go there, directly." And why Japan of all places?
"But I don't go places!" Oscar said, surprising him. "the furthest I got from the mansion was across the street and even then I had to beg you"
That's because I'm worried stiff that you'll get kidnapped if your out of my sight! Elias thought, losing the little master would be a disaster, he wanted to say but instead said.
"But little master, you must understand" The man said, "Even though you're a child, you are very influential in the world today and the world is a very scary place, lots of people want to kidnap you and they won't treat you nowhere nearly as nicely as I do-"
"Than can't you protect me?" His charge said, "You are my guardian, right? I promise I will stick by you, I don't want to get lost or kidnapped" giving him the most powerful weapon in his arsenal.
The poppy dog eyes.
Elias eyes immediately shifted from him and said. "I'm sorry little master but I don't even think the Master or Mistress will agree to it, even if I wanted to let you go"
Just than the door burst open to reveal a man who looked eerily similar to Oscar, this was in fact Oscar father, Lord Delamater, the current head of the Delamater family and vast fortune and immediately Elias was on his feet and bowing to the man in respect and asked.
"Master, what brings you here?" He said.
The man's eyes couldn't help but wonder to the miniature version of himself and looked almost startled to see him, oh, that's right, they hadn't formally made eye contact yet.
This must be Oscar, he thought, the last time he saw him properly was the first couple of hours of his birth before handing him over, before thinking, isn't genetics just plain creepy?
It was like looking at a slightly different version of him in his youth without the white hair and the nose, clearly from his mother.
He didn't know how they did it but they managed to balance family and work into one trip, when there was usually zero family association going on.
"Elias" He gave the order making the man perk up. "I want my son prepped and ready to go to Japan, by tomorrow night and since you're my son's guardian, you will accompany us as well. We will be in Japan for two weeks." and with that, the man was gone.
Elias looked shocked.
While Oscar had the biggest grin on his face.
Because finally the man had done something right.
And whether Elias know it or not, by the end of this trip.
He will know the name 'Hizuri'.
And scene!
So what do you think? I plan for Oscar to meet Maria by coincidence and start going out while Elias becomes Oscar wing man in the shadows so he's not exposed right away. Review/fav and follow!
