AN: Second chapter!! Let me know if it's good, kay? And I'm only gonna put the disclaimer up in the first chapter. So it won't be up in any of the other chapters.
It was comfy. The bed, I mean. I didn't want to wake up. Snuggling deeper, I sighed. I was warm, and clean, and lying in a really soft bed. With fluffy pillows. I could sleep the day away.
Wait.
I don't have a bed. I was being attacked by the villagers. So what's going on? Am I dead?
There was one way to find out. Slowly, oh so slowly, I opened my eyes.

Soft light flowed through the room from the window seat. Lavender curtains were drawn to the sides to the window, but the glass was tinted a bit. The floor was covered with a dark violet carpet. The walls were a darker shade of lavender than the curtains. The boy who was rescued earlier was lying on a queen sized bed with white sheet that had black crosses stitched along the top. To the boy's right, from where he sat on the bed, was a small nightstand with a lamp on it. To the boy's left was the door to his room, which was solid oak. Near the door was a wardrobe, also made of oak, and a desk. By the wall directly across his bed, there was a group of lavender and black bean bags, cushions, and pillows.
The boy reached a hand up to his neck, feeling cotton bandages. Looking down at himself, he saw various bandages wrapped around his body, covering the gashes he had received. He was also dressed in an oversized white t-shirt and a pair of slim black boxer shorts.
After he made that amazing discovery, the door to his room opened. In walked Tyki Mikk. "I see you're finally awake."
"H-How long have I been asleep?" the boy managed to murmur, his throat a bit sore.
"About a week. No surprise there, with all the wounds you had from those villagers attacking you. Humans really are annoying spiteful little creatures." Tyki said, sitting on the edge of the boy's bed, checking over the bandages. "My name is Tyki Mikk. May I have yours?" he asked.
"Orin. Orin Galaxy." the boy answered. "Where am I? Why am I here?" he questioned, squirming a bit when Tyki would touch a painful bruise.
"Well, Orin, you're here, because you're special. You're the only half Noah in existence right now. You're also the Noah of Creation. Now how about we get you dressed and head downstairs to have lunch." Tyki suggested, moving off the bed and towards the wardrobe. Opening the furniture's doors, the older man pulled out a white dress shirt, a violet vest, and black slacks. He also took out a pair of socks and black dress shoes. He placed the items on the bed, and then moved to help Orin get out of the bed.
After much stumbling and apologizing, Orin managed to get dressed. Tyki took his hand, leading him out the door. They eventually found themselves in the dining room, where a man and two boys were throwing things at each other while yelling and a woman and girl were just sitting in their seats quietly. "You can sit here." Tyki said, pulling back a seat between the girl and the woman. Orin silently took his seat, watching the boys gang up on the man. The girl looked up from her books as Tyki sat next to her. "So he finally woke up. What's your name?" the girl asked. "My name's Orin." He answered. The woman then spoke. "My name is Lulu Bell. She is Rhode, the man yelling is Skin, and the twins are Debitto and Jasdero, also known as Jasdebi."
All actions ceased when the door opened, revealing a tall, somewhat plump man wearing a top hat and an insanely large smile. The man also had long pointed ears and glasses. An umbrella with a jack o' lantern head was floating after him. "Earl!" Rhode greeted, waving her hand at the new man. Lulu Bell and Tyki merely nodded while Jasdebi and Skin remained frozen in place. The man, Earl, sat down at the head of the table. "Did something happen?" he asked.
Most of the food on the table was scattered across the cloth, or splattered on the walls. Orin noticed that the walls were covered in portraits of various sizes. Jasdebi and skin sat down in their respective seats, waiting for the Earl to continue. He looked at each Noah sitting at the table, stopping on Orin. "It looks like our newest family member finally woke up. Now what is your name, child?" he asked. "Orin Galaxy, sir." The boy replied, fidgeting slightly. The Earl merely continued to grin. "Why, welcome to the family, Orin. I believe introductions are in order."
Road went first. She smiled, straightening up in her seat, obviously lacking modesty. "I'm Rhode Kamelot. The Noah of Dreams." she said proudly. Lulu Bell nodded at Orin. "My name is Lulu Bell. Noah of Lust." Skin, now sitting in his seat, shouted somewhat, "I'm Skin Boric. Noah of Hate. Don't forget it." The boys, Jasdebi grinned, pointing their golden guns at each other. "I'm Debitto-" the black haired twin began, "And I'm Jasdero-" the blond haired twin cackled, before the two spoke in unison, "And together we're Jasdebi! The Noah of Bonds!" Tyki waved his hand in a non caring manner from where he sat. "You already know my name, Orin. I happen to be the Noah of Pleasure." The Earl smiled from where he was at the head of the table. "I am the Millennium Earl. Welcome to your new life." he grinned.
Lunch ended relatively quick, with Lulu Bell, Skin, and the Earl leaving immediately afterwards. Tyki lead the teens to a sitting room, where he chose a seat in a leather arm chair with a book. As soon as he started reading, Rhode tackled Orin in a hug. "Wow! Orin-chan, you have such pretty hair! You should let me dress you up!" she squealed. Orin started stuttering, unsure of what to do. Nobody had ever approached him like this. He was always avoided until that night. He shuddered slightly at the memory of his attack.
It was at that moment that the twins started arguing with her. It started off something like this:
"Hey! You have your dolls! Go play with them!"
"Yeah, hii!"
"Why do you care? And I don't feel like playing with my dolls!"
"So? He's a guy!"
"A guy, hii!"
"Your point? Dero's a guy, but he looks like a girl!"
"Don't insult Jasdero!"
And it was at that time a floating umbrella with a pumpkin for a head came into the room. "Rhode-sama!" it called out. The Earl followed after and the fight came to an end. "Rhode, I have a job for you!" he said in a sing song voice, dancing a bit. The young Noah squealed and then skipped off to follow the Earl, leaving Orin among two delinquents and one adult who was ignoring all of them.
Orin gulp as he sensed impending doom.
An arm hooked through both of his as goose bumps broke out on his skin."Well well well, it looks like we're going to have lots of fun, right 'Dero?" said Debitto from Orin's right. "Lotsa fun! Hii!" echoed Jasdero from the left. The twins started to cackle and with that, they dragged poor Orin off to some unknown place.
Tyki merely sighed and continued reading.
PN: I'm sorry Orin!!!
Orin: How could you do that to me?!
PN: You can't be a wuss all the time and you're supposed to like Jasdebi!
Jasdebi: Yeah!
Orin: I will put scorpions in your bed...
PN: Since I'm going to be killed by Orin later, I should answer reviews now. And thanks so much, I wasn't sure if I should have posted the story or not, especially if nobody reviewed.

Firehedgehog- I continued!! ^_^
