A/N: This chapter was inspired by the song entitled GEMINI by SPONGECOLA and I wanted to insert that song somewhere along the lines but I don't wanna ruin the flow of the story. Maybe on the Rai and Frankenstein on the road part. Yes! That part is perfect for the song. Please, take some time to listen to that song and read my story. Thank you! XD
Summary: The Noblesse finally learns on how to drive a vehicle by himself! "...to drive a vehicle by himself...?" Is that even possible?
Road Test (Chapter 1)
By: chengsandagan111
Frankenstein prepared his Master's late night snack a minute earlier than usual. Rai noticed that his servant seems hurrying but still he didn't ask what is the reason. He knew that Frankenstein is trying his best to act normal in front of him and he knew that his servant is up to something... harmless, this time.
After Rai finished his meal, Frankenstein made his way to excuse himself.
"M-Master, please excuse my absence for a while. I- I have to work on something." Frankenstein said.
From savoring the smell of his newly brewed tea, Rai glanced with a slightly doubtful look at Frankenstein.
"Alright." Rai replied.
"H- huh? Ah , yes, Master. Thank you. I'll be back later." Frankenstein said as he walked out and went down to his mansion's garage.
Frankenstein stood and switched on the lights. The whole garage went bright but this immaculate white and silvery shiny vehicle always catches his sight.
Its full structure was finely built, both wheels have an elegant and perfectly carved platinum rims, as well as its suspensions and sprocket. Head lights and tail lights are gleaming by the garage's lighting, both hand-grips and foot rests has ruby stones on its edges. The flashing four inched platinum cross on the mid-upper part in between of the head lights just like his Master's earrings, the perfectly embellished dual-seat.
It's all perfect. It's indestructible. This should be the 'king of all vehicles'! Haaaa... I hope Master will like this.
Frankenstein approached the motorcycle, he inserted the key and switched on the engine. Such a shame that he rode on it first instead of his Master and drove throughout the city, but Frankenstein thought that it's always better safe than sorry. He thought that it will be a great inconvenience if this thing didn't work right when his Master wanted to use it.
A perfect road test is the judgment if it's right to present this gift for the Noblesse.
After few hours of driving, Frankenstein happened to pass this long road of greenfield, bright colored flowers, dancing fireflies under the moonlight and a river nearby. It's quite beautiful for a scenery at night.
I wish Master will see this. But I have to teach him on how to drive this thing first.
Frankenstein decided to head back to the house. His road test was success.
He parked the motorcycle at the same spot before he used it. As Frankenstein attempted to step into his house, his Master Raizel was standing by the door, right in front of him.
"M- Master? H- how long have you been standing there?" Frankenstein asked with wide-eyes. Completely surprised.
"Long enough, Frankenstein." Rai replied. His sight fell onto the shiny white and silver motorcycle.
"Is that what you are working on?" The Noblesse continued. Addressing the vehicle.
Haaaa... I've been so careless! I ruined the surprise that I'm preparing for Master.
"Yes, Master. That vehicle is for you..." Frankenstein said.
"...I built it just in case you want to stroll together with the children. I- I have various of them actually, if- if you don't like the color and if you don't like the model." He explained with his head low.
Rai approached the motorcycle and touched its embellished seat. Letting his sight wander around the details of the vehicle in front of him.
"Stroll together with the children..." Rai said.
"D- do you want me to teach you on how to use it, My lord?" Frankenstein asked. Following his Master at a respectful distance.
Rai didn't say a word but he nodded.
At that very moment, Frankenstein quickly handed over to his Master the complete edition of its journal and started teaching Rai the basics of riding a motorcycle then so on. He explained everything from the first little detail on the journal up to the last important part of the vehicle in front of them.
He really wanted his Master to live a normal life. He thought that if this one will success, he would be so proud to realize that his Master was able to drive a motorcycle and can drive around the city and stroll together with the children whom his Master hold so dear. Even just for one time. Just for the experience.
After hours of discussing everything, Frankenstein readied himself for this evening's final question.
"D- do you want to try to drive this one, Master?" He asked.
Rai didn't answered him. He glanced at Frankenstein and switched on the engine and slowly drove near the garage gate instead. This signaled his servant to use another one and follow him. Frankenstein smiled as he approached the next vehicle.
They got out of the garage but Rai stopped when they reached the end of the mansion's drive-way.
"Master, I know a beautiful place that I wish for you to see. It's quite far from here. W- would you like to see it?" Frankenstein asked.
"Lead the way." The Noblesse answered.
Frankenstein bowed his head then drove ahead of his Master at a normal speed as Rai followed his trail four- five meters away. Few minutes later, Rai and Frankenstein reached the beautiful green horizon and pulled over.
"Do you find it to your liking, Master?" Frankenstein asked with a bright smile on his face.
Rai nodded and walked towards the road-side concrete barrier. He stopped and stared at the wide green horizon that filled with bright flowers and glowing fireflies. The calming breeze of night air made the grass, tree branches and flowers dance from afar. The relaxing sound of the river nearby, the moonlight rays covering the entire area. Those few little forgotten walkways from the roadside barrier up to the riverside. Frankenstein let his Master wallow himself in his usual silence and with the scenery.
Unfortunately, the silence broke when Frankenstein's phone rang. He excused himself and answered his phone few steps away from Rai. A minute later, Frankenstein went back and approached his Master.
"Master, I just received a call from Tao. He told me that our visitors just arrived. I suggest that we should go home..." Frankenstein said.
"...but please, do not worry. We can always go back here whenever you want, my Lord. And it's best if we do that when the sun is up, so we can clearly see the field." He continued with a bright smile on his face.
Can always go back whenever I want...
Rai walked towards his vehicle at a leisurely rate, he stood beside it and rested his hand at its hand-grip.
"Frankenstein, I want to bring the children here..." the Noblesse said. Still staring on the field.
"...b- bring the children...? ...here, Master?" Frankenstein asked.
"...yes. Tomorrow." Rai continued.
"Eh? O- of course, Master. I- I'll prepare everything." Frankenstein answered. Then, they switched on their engines and drove back home.
After parking their vehicles, Rai and Frankenstein went to the living area where their late visitors are peacefully sitting together with Regis and Seira. It was Raskreia and Gejutel.
"Excuse us for being late." Frankenstein started.
Gejutel glared at Frankenstein and in return, Frankenstein gave him a familiar and taunting smirk.
"We drove around the city and happened to stop by at a park." Frankenstein explained.
"Drove...? Around the city...?" Gejutel asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes." Frankenstein answered then explained briefly.
"Master and I are going to take the children at that park tomorrow. You can come with us if you want?" He continued.
"...but I suggest that you can only use a vehicle to get there. It would be a problem if the human children sees your ability to fly... or you could use your mind control against them? Or you could go ahead of us or-" Frankenstein added.
"Frankenstein..." the Noblesse called.
"Yes, Master?" Frankenstein replied.
"Let's just use the vehicles." Rai suggested. Of course, why would they bother to use the mind control against the children?
Rai knows that it's not that painful if they use their mind control ability against the human children. But now, he would rather prefer the 'normal human' way to bond with them. He thought that using their mind control ability should be necessary when the children are caught in danger along with them or if the children knew something important that's related with their true nativity.
"I see. We'll go with you." Raskreia said and glanced at Rai.
As soon as the conversation ended, Frankenstein notified Tao, Takeo and M21 to inform and assist the children and prepare the vehicles that they're going to use for the road test.
"Haaaa. I hope we can still get a good sleep after this." Tao said as he finished sending e-mails to Ikhan.
"If you want, you can do that tomorrow. Just go to sleep. You'll be the one to drive us, right?" Takeo asked while standing at Tao's bedroom door, cleaning his toy-gun that Tao gave.
"Ehhh... I'll just finish this. I don't wanna have too many checklist when I wake up." Tao replied as he swiveled his office chair.
"Heh. Right. You keep complaining about the work but still doing it." M21 said while filing his nails. Walking past from Takeo, going into his bedroom
"I- I'm not complaining, you grumpy-wolf!" Tao yelled.
Takeo and M21 chuckled as they both went into their rooms and sleep.
