Chapter 1 – A Strange Greeting

BAM! BAM! BAM!

"Mage! Open this door!" A rough voice sounded outside.

I looked up from my spell book and looked at the door. "Dad? Someone's at the door." I said standing up and walking towards it. I pressed my hand on the doorknob and turned it.

Suddenly two men in black armor rushed in shivering from the cold.

I blinked.

"Ah! Kuro-cold, how are you?" My dad walked in holding a ladle. "You're just on time. I am making stew." He said.

"Why the hell are you living in an ice cube?" The man growled. "You just have to piss me off every day, huh?" He growled.

My father laughed. "Selena, this is Kurogane Youou or should I say Kuro-grumpy." He said. He walked up to the younger man and smiled. "This young fellow must be the infamous 'Shinyuu Youou.' It's a pleasure to meet you." He held out a hand.

"Don't you dare touch that man's hand." Kurogane growled.

My dad pursed his lips and gave him a playful glare. "I don't bite, Kuro-meanie." He said.

"Not anymore." Kurogane said.

My dad laughed. "I'm Fai D. Fluorite." He bowed a little to Shinyuu. "This young lady is my daughter, Selena Fluorite." He said.

Shinyuu nodded. "Hi." He said.

I smiled.

"Are the brat and the princess here?" Kurogane looked around.

"Sadly, no. The stew is almost ready." My dad said.

"No one would want to eat it anyways." Kurogane said entering the kitchen.

"Sakura and Syaoran would!" My dad yelled and Shinyuu and I jumped at a sudden BANG!

I sat on the couch and began to read.

"Do you mind me asking what you're reading?" Shinyuu asked.

"No, not at all." I answered.

Shinyuu was quiet.

I turned to look at him.

He seemed to be waiting. "Well?" He asked.

I blinked. "Well what?" I asked.

"Answer my question." He growled.

I smiled. I definitely saw his father in him. "I did answer your question. You asked do I mind if you ask me what I am reading and I answered no, I do not." I said.

His face reddened in what looked like anger. "Fine, what are you reading?" He asked.

"Spell book." I answered.

He looked over my shoulder. "I can't read it." He said.

"Yes, this is in my father's language. The reason we should be able to talk to each other may be because Mokona is around." I said.

"Mokona? Oh that Manjuu-bun." He said.

"That what?" I asked.

"Manjuu-bun, it's a type of food in my world." Shinyuu answered.

I covered my mouth and laughed. "You're funny; can I call you Shin-pon?" I asked.

"WHAT?" Shinyuu yelled.

I smiled at the success of getting him angry. "Or maybe Shin-tan." I posed a thinking position.

"Why you..." He jumped to grab me, but I swiftly got off the couch making him fall head-first into the cushions.

I closed the spell book and smiled. "Shin-silly, what are you doing?" I asked.

Shinyuu got up and advanced me.

"Eeek!" I yelped as I darted upstairs.

He ran after me and I threw my bedroom door open. He was about to enter but I slammed the door in his face.

BAM! THUD!

"Argh!" Shinyuu cried on the other side of my door.

I took a deep breath and waited.

There was silence.

I blinked and opened the door.

A hand shot out and I nearly screamed as he pulled me out.

He was holding his nose with blood on his hands and shirt.

I gasped. "I'm sorry!" I said and waved my finger. Words of healing flew out and I directed it to his nose.

Shinyuu let me go and let go of his nose, no longer bleeding.

I rushed to the bathroom to grab a towel. "I'm so sorry about that I didn't know you would break your nose and all." I said wiping the blood off his face.

He grabbed my wrist with a look of annoyance in his face. "Stop cleaning my face." He growled.

I stepped away as he cleaned himself up.

We saw my dad and Kurogane walk up the stairs towards us.

"Damn it Shinyuu, what on earth did you do?" Kurogane asked looking at the blood on his shirt.

"It's my fault, sir. I slammed the door on his face." I looked at the ground.

"Why did you do that Selena, dear?" Dad asked me softly.

"She called me something like Shin-pon or Shin-tan." Shinyuu said.

The two blinked.

Dad laughed. "That's my girl!" He said.

"It's not funny mage!" Kurogane growled.

"Oh Kuro-puro, there is no harm in creating nicknames." Dad smiled.

Kurogane glared at him. "You better get that washed before it stains." He snapped at his son.

"I don't have a shirt." Shinyuu pointed out.

"Good thing you're in a house right? Here you can borrow one of my shirts." Dad said walking into his room and coming out with a white shirt.

Dad held it out and Shinyuu took it hesitantly.

I looked at the ground as Shinyuu passed me to the restroom.

"Right then, back to the stew." Dad said leaving.

Kurogane rolled his eyes in annoyance as he followed.

Shinyuu walked out with his shirt in his hands. Father's shirt seemed to be a perfect fit for him.

I took the shirt. "I-I'll take care of this." I said softly.

He raised a brow. "What's wrong with you?" He asked.

I looked up at him but dropped my gaze to the ground. "I-I heard about your father from my dad. I'm sure you have your own pride to watch out for... and no doubt by embarrassing you in front of your dad I... damaged your pride." I said quickly.

Shinyuu sighed and scratched his head. "It's... not a problem." He said.

I gave a grin. "That's great Shin-myu." I said.

He glared. "You..." He growled.

I tilted my head giving a wide smile.
