This seems like the regular chapters for this story. But who knows, I might just write more in the future (Probably not)

Disclaimer: I do not own Elsword.


"I'm home…" Aisha called as she opened the door to her house. And as expected, Noah was home and she came right to the entrance to greet Aisha with a scowl. "Do you know what time it is, young lady? And you're soaking wet too!"

"Yeah, well…" Aisha averted her eyes nervously. "It's… a long story, Noah…"

Noah folded her arms. "Then you better start talking."

The younger purplette laughed nervously while rubbing the nape of her neck. "Actually… before that, I um…"

She promptly moved aside to let the boy from earlier to enter.

"Hello." He greeted with a slight wave.

"Noah, this is… uh…" Aisha blinked, just realizing that she had never gotten the boy's name.

"Elsword Sieghart." The redhead saved, bowing in politeness. "It's nice to meet you."

Noah looked at him blankly, then blinked and looked between the two. After a moment of indescribable silence, Noah forced a laugh. "Haha... Aisha, I think might have been worrying too much today. I'm hallucinating that you brought a boy home..."

The younger purplette blinked. "... You're not."

Noah copied the same gesture. "Right… You're finally growing up, Aisha."

Said girl twitched an eye. "It's not like that! We just so happen to have met in the drenching rain and our house wasn't that far away so I offered to help! And can we please move away from the entrance now? It would be great to change into dry clothes!"

"Oh, right." Noah moved aside to let the two walk into the living room. It was then Noah perceived an important detail.

"Um… Ai?" She called. "We don't want have any spare clothes for guys."

Aisha could be heard cursing.

"And stay in the guest room until Noah comes back from buying new clothes!" Aisha ordered as she made her way upstairs to change.

Switching into a plain white shirt and gray sweatpants, she took her clothes - and Elsword's (Minus the armor) - into the washer to wash and then to dry.

Aisha then went into the kitchen and heaved a sigh as she mixed up two mugs of steaming hot coco.

"What am I doing…?" she muttered as she brought the two mugs into the living room, placing one of the table and taking the other on down the hall to the guest room.

She knocked on the door before placing the cup down in front of the door. "I'm leaving this mug here. Drink it, it'll help you warm up."

"Thank you, Princess." came his muffled voice.

Aisha sighed once more, pinching the bridge of her nose. "For the last time, that's not my name - where do you even get that from anyways? The name's Aisha. Aisha Cerise."

She heard the turning of the knob and immediately made a run for it. "IDIOT! DON'T OPEN THE DOOR WHEN I'M STILL THERE!" She exclaimed as she ran into the living room. She did not want to see guys in only their boxers. Mind you, Aisha has standards for herself.

Noah came back from her drive to the nearest store with a bag of clothes.

...

"Once you got changed, come to the living room." Noah said as she slipped the bag into the guest room and made her way to the coach where Aisha was sitting at, checking her schoolbag in horror.

"What is it now?" The elder purplette asked as she sat down and took the remote from the table to turn the TV on.

"My papers!" Aisha exclaimed as she blanched, holding up wet stationaries. "It has all the research I did today!"

"Can't do anything about that." Noah commented off the side as she flicked through the channels. "You'll just have it do it all over again."

"But…" Aisha groaned. "I didn't think the rain would seep through!"

"That's what you get for being in the rain." Noah scolded. "You could have just called me to pick you up."

The purplette bit her lips. "You were at work and I… kinda… left my phone… in my room today… in a rush." Her cheeks turning pink at the confession.

Noah facepalmed. "Aisha…."

"I'll remember it next time!" The purplette promised.

"Remember what?" Elsword popped in out of nowhere, causing Aisha to jump about a foot in the air. He was wearing a slightly oversized plaid collared shirt with some blue jeans.

"What the - stop coming out of nowhere!" Aisha exclaimed.

"Oh, you're here." Noah responded calmly, setting the remote down. "Thank goodness, I wasn't sure if the clothes fit or not but it seems fine."

Elsword nodded, then his eyes trailed to the TV and seemed to be intrigued by it.

"Sit down Elsword." The older purplette gestured to adjacent, connecting couch. Again, he nodded and comply with the request.

"Now," The only adult in the room started, turning to Aisha. "I expect an explanation as to why you're late."

The purplete sighed in dismay. "Well… I stayed in the library after school to get a head start on my project - but as you can see, it was a complete waste - and it started to rain when I decided to go home. Being unprepared for it, I just ran home, only to have the rain get heavier. I stopped at this antique store for a short break and I met Elsword there. And… you already know the rest."

She skipped the part of her meeting Rena and some other things. Those were just technicality, no need to mention them.

Noah sighed. "Honestly Aisha. You're more of a workaholic than I am."

The younger purplette huffed indignantly. "Look who I picked it up from?"

Ignoring her comment, Noah switched her attention to Elsword. "Well, this is all kind of unexpected and it's already late in the night. Would you like to stay here for the night? I'll call your parents to let you know that you're here."

The redhead looked at her blankly. "That might be a problem." He pointed out. "My parents aren't among the living anymore..." There was more to his answer but he wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to voice it.

A heavy silence dropped onto the two purplette like a bomb. Now Noah felt guilty for bringing it up.

"... Right… sorry to hear that." She finally said, uncomfortably.

Elsword shook his head casually. "It's quite alright. It's been years since then, so I got over it."

"... Do you live alone then?" Aisha plucked up the courage to ask.

Elsword seemed to be studying the purplette for a moment before giving a vague answer. "Not… exactly."

Noah raised a brow. "Well, then do you have any other family members I can call?"

"I had a sister," Elsword offered, then looked away. "but I do not know where she is at the moment."

"... Okay then…" Noah decided with a clap of her hand, she did not want to hear anymore depressing information if there was going to be more. "how about you just stay here for a couple of days? I can probably get information on someone by the surname of Sieghart at my workplace tomorrow. "

Elsword nodded gratefully. "Thank you."

"What…?" Aisha voiced, half irritated and half surprised.

Noah lightly hit Aisha on the back. "Quit it Ai. It's getting late and you have school tomorrow. Go take a shower and go to sleep. You too, Elsword. I'll be in my room if you need anything."

With that, she headed up stairs.

Aisha grumbled something incoherent.

"I need to sort this out first." She sighed at wet paper stack before giving instruction to the redhead. "Guest bathrooms's two doors down the hall, to the right."

"Alright." Elsword replied, standing up. Casting one last glance at the now distracted purplette, he made his way to his destination.

Upon entering, he blinked. He scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to do.

"Just how long…" Elsword trailed and sighed. He knew he would get answers later, but he just didn't know when.

He peeked out of the bathroom door. "Princess."

"What?" Said girl called from the living room, irked. "And how many times have I told yo not to call me that! We're not in a fairy tale land here!"

He blinked at her outburst but ignored it for the moment. "Can you… tell me how all of this work?"

Aisha dropped what she was doing and marched over to where Elsword was, giving him a raised eyebrow. "You... don't know how to use the showers?"

"Uh…" The redhead scratched his cheek and made a sheepish grin.

"Where have you been living?" Aisha continued, then sighed. "Whatever, I don't want to know."

She went in and explained how to use the shower head and some other things that Elsword pointed at. It took about half an hour.

"That's… practically everything…" The purplette sweatdropped, realizing that after she had to explain how the faucet work.

Aisha narrowed her eyes at him. "You better not be playing with me."

Elsword held up his hands in defense. "I'm not."

The purplette gave him a suspicious look before returning to the living room. "If you don't know anything else, just experiment!"

Oh, he experimented alright. It took him several tries to get the water to be not too hot or not too cold.


Aisha wondered what Elsword's problem was. How could anyone not know how to use faucets? Unless he's been living under a rock, there was no way.

"Ugh…" She groaned, massaging her head for a while. "Too much happened today. I should just go take a shower and work in my room."

As she made her way upstairs, Elsword was leaning against the wall, by the window of the guest room, having already finished showering.

His eyes were closed, signaling he was either thinking or sleeping. Either way, he didn't have much of either when he heard the same chime from before, followed by a soft gust of wind.

Elsword cracked open an eye. "It's about time."

A person wisped out of thin air with a wind current. They stuck a bit of their tongue out at the redhead. "Hehe~! Sorry, I had to deal with some pesky shadows."

"Would you mind informing just how long I have been asleep, Rena?" Elsword asked, straight to the point.

Lime-blonde hummed playfully. "You want a rough estimate?"

"Exact." Elsword stated firmly. "And why did the Princess did it."

"Well…" Rena sighed. "You have a limit to how much you should know right now so I'll just brief you about the situation. How does that sound?"

"Fine." The redhead replied impatiently. "But at least tell me explain to me the Princess's conditions. She's acting rather strange."

Rena blinked, before smiling cheerfully. "Oh, that's easy! That's because she doesn't remember anything!"


I'm horrible at where to cut the chapter... aren't I?
