Saito Hiraga honestly didn't think he would ever be back home in Tokyo but here he was. He had spent a long time in Tristain as the familiar of a Louise a mean noble girl who was a student at a magic school. However it was not all bad, he managed to make some friends there and managed to find a way to sever the familiar bond he had with Louise. He had found away to travel back home at will and went back with the promise to visit from time to time.
Of course Saito was not really the smartest person out there so he did not take into account how his family would have taken him being missing and how worried they must have been. Saito had a lot of explaining but he did the logical thing to prove his story first by taking them to Tristain, knowing they would never believe him otherwise. They took some time to accept it and allow him to come, but they made him promise to stay away from Louis and they had to be physically restrained when they learned she had been treating their son like a slave (though he think that his parents might have scared Louise from trying anything ever again though).
Right now he was having Tabitha over for a visit, the quiet girl who had been secretly a princess had gotten close to Saito and they started dating in secret, only becoming more public and open to their relationship once Saito's bond was broken. Louise being one to read quietly had saw Saito's collection of manga books and took one down to ready but Saito had to laugh at Tabitha's confusion when she tried to read it like a normal book.
"You are reading it wrong Tabitha; it's read from the right to the left." Saito said turning the book over for her. Once it was explained to her Tabitha blinked while giving out a comment about how stupid that seemed. "Hey it's a Japanese thing." Saito told her feeling like it was an out of body experience due to having to explain how they do things here to someone from Tristain.
Saito took a closer look and saw that the book that Tabitha picked out was Fairy Tail and sat down looking over her shoulder to read with her. Tabitha spent some time looking over the manga before putting it back and asked Saito curiously if there was something else they could do together. "Well we could watch Sentai." Saito did turning on the TV to a channel where the latest Sentai team was on fighting a monster.
"Who are those and why does that monster look like some sort of suit, does not look too real?" Tabitha commented which made Saito face palm as he had to spend about forty five minutes explaining the concepts of TV shows and how the TV was just showing fictional stories (though the way Saito tried to explain it Tabitha just ended up more confused but eventually Tabitha got the idea down). "Took five of them to stop a monster?" Tabitha asked looking not too impressed as they sat down as Saito looked shocked that something like Sentai was boring to Tabitha.
"You could take that monster down no time by yourself..." Tabitha said with a smile remembering how much of a brave warrior that Saito had been in Tristain and Saito could not help but be flattered by his girlfriend's remark even though deep down he think that he would still probably run away if the monster in the episode showed up in real life.
"Your world is weird but it's also nice." Tabitha told Saito with a big smile as she cuddled up next to Saito as the television show kept on playing. "Yeah it is weird but so is your world." Saito retorted feeling relaxed wondering if he could use the TV for some sort of prank if he brought someone else from Tristain here, maybe convince one of them that it was some sort of magical portal to the future (especially the fun that would happen if the TV at the moment was showing an alien invasion movie).
I have read a lot of Familiar of Zero fanfics and have the first season on DVD so I thought I could try my hand at fanfiction. This is basically an oneshot series pairing Saito up with different girls (only exception is that I will not ever do Louise) and I thought I started up with Tabitha. I am welcome to any chapter ideas as well as plots that could result from chapters with certain girls. I made this joke on the comments page on a deviantart submission I saw but do you think Saito and Keitaro Urashima from Love Hina should form their own abused Harem Anime protagonist support group?
What do you think of this idea where I came up with, if Saito was summoned not by Louise but by Henrietta who thought about summoning her own familiar? I want to know your thoughts on that and if anyone wants to use that idea, go right ahead and tell me about it when you post it up. By the way I am not knocking the stuff about how Manga is read, it was something I have gotten used to and I respect that different countries have different customs they are accustomed to but I thought it would be funny to use that as a joke about how an outsider from another dimension would react to something like that.
