Author's note: Okay, this story is going to be a bit different than my other stories have been until now. I've started using the first-person view and I'm basing the story only on some theories about Yukikaze so it might be wrong later on if something about Yukikaze is revealed in the series.
There are also some things I would like to point out before you read the story.
1. The story is told from Yukikaze's perspective and it will not chance whatever happens.
2. Kanon is my own character and someone like her will supposedly never appear in actual 07-Ghost series so the story will never be quite accurate.
3. Yukikaze's family consists of my own characters (His siblings and parents and some randomly mentioned other relatives) but Hyuuga is included because of a belief in Japan and China that says that Yukikaze and Hyuuga are related by blood.
I was nervous. I was really nervous, to be exact. This wasn't the kind of nervousness that one might have before a big test or something like that. I was nervous because today I was going to become someone's begleiter and I had heard that my future superior was someone very scary. I was actually scared for my future because I had heard that my future superior was a warsfeil and that sounded really bad. I didn't know what it meant to be a warsfeil but someone had told me a long time ago that warsfeils were black magicians who used some kind of bone-wings to eat away peoples' souls because of some kind of contracts.
I glanced around nervously only to see that I was standing alone in a big hall. Everyone else had already been taken away to meet their superiors. I didn't know where I should go if no one was going to show me my superior's office so I just stood there. I had stood there for few hours and my feet had already started aching. The marble floor didn't make the pain in my feet any easier. Is someone wasn't going to show up soon I was pretty sure that I was going to just sit down on the floor because the hall didn't have any chairs that I could use for resting a little.
"I'm sorry that I'm so late!" said a voice that belonged to a young girl who had light violet hair and big eyes. The girl was probably only ten or eleven years old but she already wore the military officer's uniform. She had very big purple eyes and her hair was braided into one long braid. "I got lost while looking for this hall. I never actually imagined that this building is so big and complicated. You're Yukikaze, right?"
"Err… Yes, I am", I said and looked at the girl with a very surprised expression. "Are you my superior? I thought that my superior would be male and a bit… older."
"No, I'm not your superior", the girl laughed. "It's my older brother who is going to be your superior. My name is Kanon and I work in the same unit as Aya-nii."
"Who is this 'Aya-nii'?" I asked with my eyes as huge as a teapot.
"I mean my older brother", Kanon said and laughed again. "His real name is Ayanami but I use Aya-nii."
"Ah… I understand", I managed to mumble.
How should I address my superior? I thought as we stared walking towards the staircase. Should I call him Ayanami-san? No, that sounds too informal. Maybe Ayanami-sama is better… Yes, that's definitely better. If I called him just Ayanami, I would definitely be dead in two seconds. Come on, Yuki, you can do this. This isn't as bad as the time when that crazy wolf attacked you and almost killed you. And the time when you almost died while trying to learn how to drive a hawkzile was definitely the worst! You're just serving someone as a begleiter, right? You're not supposed to be in a war or anything. This is just desk work. You can do it. You're very good at it!
"Are you okay, Yukikaze?" I heard Kanon asking. "You do look a bit pale. Do you need some kind of medicine?"
"Oh… I'm fine!" I assured her. "I'm just a bit nervous and I was trying to tell myself that I'm not going to die in this job."
"You're going to be fine!" Kanon laughed. "Mr. Sunglasses is the one who is going to get killed, not you."
Before I could ask who was this Mr. Sunglasses we heard a loud scream of pain and saw someone flying through the wall. The something landed on the floor on the other side of the corridor and I saw that it was a black-haired man who was probably an officer too. The man had sunglasses and he was wailing probably because of pain. I immediately thought that this man could be the Mr. Sunglasses when I saw the sunglasses. I smiled a bit when I saw Kanon going to the man's side.
"What did you say to him now, Hyuuga?" Kanon asked while squatting down near the man. "How did you make him so angry that he throws you through the wall?"
"Err… I'm not sure how to say it", the man laughed even though the left side of his head was bleeding.
"If you say it again, I'm going to rip your mouth away from your face, Hyuuga", said another man who had walked to another side of the hole in the wall that had become there when the black haired man had been thrown through the wall. The man who was standing had almost white hair and behind him was a very dark aura that was probably the black-haired man's fault.
"Was it really that bad?" Kanon asked nervously.
"You don't even want to know what he said", the man said and turned away but was stopped by Kanon.
"Wait, big brother!" Kanon yelled. "I found your begleiter!" she said happily and grabbed my arm. "His name is Yukikaze!"
So this person is my superior? I thought as I looked at him. This is really going to be interesting five years…
"Since when did I have a begleiter?" the man asked. "I don't remember having one…"
"You got a begleiter today", Kanon said. "Remember, when Miroku-sama asked you if you needed one and you said that your work would be easier if you had one?"
"Yes", the man said. "Of course I remember it now. Well, come in, you two. The room is a bit messy because I let that idiot in", the man said while walking to a table that was full of different kind of papers and documents. He skillfully dodged all the piles of God-knows-what things on the floor as he crossed the room.
"Are you not going to introduce yourself to your begleiter, brother?" Kanon asked.
"Ah… Of course!" the man said when he realized that he had completely forgotten to introduce himself to me. "My name is Ayanami and it seems that I'm working as your superior for the next five years. Right now I am working as a general in the military."
"Wow…" I whispered. Then I realized how rude I had been so I bowed and said: "My name is Yukikaze! It is a pleasure to meet you!"
"Hmm", Ayanami-sama sighed as he looked at some important-looking document. I smiled a little and then looked around nervously.
"Do you know what are begleiters supposed to do, Kanon-san?" I whispered to Kanon when I realized that I had no idea what should I do.
"Usually they take care of their superiors schedule and help them with paperwork and such", Kanon whispered back. "But you could help me cleaning up this place right now."
I started cleaning the room with Kanon's help. We first piled up all the paper and the books and sorted them to their right places. Many of the books were about war strategies and the Raggs Kingdom. Some of the books were surprisingly cooking books and some were about garden, which were probably Kanon's. The papers were much harder task than the books. Some of the papers were incredibly important documents and some papers were full of amazing drawings. When I asked why were there so amazing drawings on the floor Ayanami-sama sighed and Kanon laughed and told that they were made by someone called Hyuuga. When we had put all the books on the bookshelf the black-haired man walked into the room and yawned.
"Aya-tan, you really hurt me back there", the man said with a loud yawn. "Why did it make you so angry?"
"Because you were so idiotic that you really said that", Ayanami-sama said without even looking at the other man. "You should have understood that I am already really angry today. And you didn't even go see your own begleiter."
"But my begleiter is so big and no-cute", the man whined. "You got the cute one so why cannot I be here with you people?"
"…Do whatever you want but don't mess up my office", Ayanami-sama sighed.
The man laughed and turned to see us. When I looked at him he suddenly fell silent and my eyes widened a bit. I recognized him instantly. He was my weird third- or fourth-cousin, Hyuuga, who always tried to annoy me when we met at family meetings and such. I tried to walk backwards but I realized that behind me was a big bookshelf. I could use that for escaping if Hyuuga tried to do something stupid to me like, for example, hugging me so tightly that I would choke.
"What are you doing here, Yuki-tan?" Hyuuga asked and tried to ruffle my hair but I dodged him.
"Don't come near me, you idiot!" I shouted before he could do anything.
"But it's been so long, Yuki-tan~!" Hyuuga laughed and tried to hug me but, again, I escaped just in time.
"Three months isn't a long time!" I yelled and went behind Kanon who stopped Hyuuga from hugging me.
"…Have I missed something right now?" I heard Ayanami-sama asking.
"Yuki-tan is my sweet cousin~!" Hyuuga exclaimed. "I haven't seen him for ages!"
"Actually he is my third- or fourth-cousin", I corrected Hyuuga. "And it has been just three months. And we are not really close. He just likes to annoy me."
"Well, Hyuuga can tell us a bit more about you then", Ayanami-sama said. As soon as I heard that I completely froze up. I remembered every single stupid thing that I had done or told to Hyuuga. I prayed for God that Hyuuga would not tell everything to them.
"Let's see…" Hyuuga mumbled. "Yuki-tan is the oldest child of his family and he's five years younger than me. He has three younger sisters and one younger brother. His middle sister and brother are twins. Yuki-tan's food is totally the most delicious food I've ever eaten. He's very good with swords and I think that he understands a bit Raggs language since his mother was from Raggs. He has also been a child model for a short period of time but of course he didn't use his real name because it would have been a great shock for the family. They all found out though…"
"Stop it, you idiot!" I yelled and tried to hit him with a pile of paper that had been in my hand since Hyuuga had walked in the office. He dodged my attack and ruffled my hair.
"You're still too slow, Yuki-tan~", Hyuuga laughed and ran out of the office.
Yes. These five years were going to be hellish if that idiot was around.
So, What do you think about this piece? Should I continue? (Well, I'm going to do it anyway, but I still want to hear people's opinions)
