Welcome back! If you are reading this chapter then thank you for giving it a chance! Thank you my four followers, three favoriters and the one review!
To my review: I was thinking about it and thought "Why not have her middle name that was clearly mentioned in her name become her nickname?"
Now, let's start! (And I fixed up this chapter too!)
Chapter 2: Starting Life In A New World
"This is too much for a bunch of teens." Yuudai mutters walking into a huge dining hall full of teenagers with three different colored capes on indicating what year they are in. Now Yuudai is gathering attention from a few nobles because of his obvious preferred color.
"Speak up when talking to your master!" She growls out.
"I'll keep that in mind." He responds not wanting to argue right now. They continue walking until Louise stops at a table looking at her familiar expectantly. However, he looks right back at her. "What?"
"Pull the chair out." She orders with a sigh.
He deadpans towards her. "Are you really that lazy?" He questions starting to look at all the food.
"No! Your my familiar, so you are supposed to just listen to me!" She exclaims losing her cool again.
Quite a few nobles are looking at the two whispering about them. Immediately Yuudai overhears one kid. "I wonder how the commoner will react once he finds out he has to eat on the floor like a dog?"
Yuudai looks at the floor and notices the bread. "Oh well. I wasn't feeling hungry anyway." He mutters. He has always been one of those loner kids that didn't really talk to others. He would talk if talked to or something, but he was never fond of the drama that came with having friends. He never even had a brother. So he usually ends up talking to himself because it feels better saying something out loud instead of just thinking it in his head. But that doesn't mean he didn't have friends at one point.
"Nevermind!" She says upset. She pulls out her chair and sits down.
Yuudai pulls out two chairs confusing those watching. He then lays on the two like a bed except for his legs going over the chair. He lets a sigh of relief escape his mouth while growing a serine look.
"Look at Louise's familiar!" A random girl points out.
Louise gets up and pulls the chair right out from under him causing him to fall on his butt and have a tick mark appear on his forehead. "What was that for?!" He asks waving a fist in anger.
She just smirks. "Familiars stay on the floor." Louise proceeds to sit back down in her chair.
Yuudai rolls his eyes and relaxes on the floor. "Whatever. Tell me when we are leaving, I'm going to sleep for a little bit." With that said, he closes his eyes. He hears a huff of irritation and actually falls asleep.
Two hours later
Louise is walking back and forth in her room with her familiar in her bed. Why? Because she is a nice and caring person sometimes. But that's not why she is walking back and forth. The reason is because of the rune on his left hand. The right hand looks fairly normal, but the left one is weird.
"What kind of rune is it?" She asks out loud. She then lets out a sigh. "I give up."
A loud yawn echoes through the room from Yuudai. He groggily opens his eyes and scratches his back. He apparently isn't fully awake yet because of what he says next. "I wonder if I ever ended up putting music on the phone" He pulls out his phone while Louise stares in confusion at the weird object. He scrolls through to the song app, but then sees nothing in his music section. "Seems like I never did." He puts the phone back in his pocket and sits up. His eyes look around and realize he is not home. "Well crap. I must have done something really stupid to still be here."
Putting the question of the weird object in his possession in the back of her mind for later, she walks over and pushed him out of her bed. Yuudai looks at her like he half expected it. He stands up then pushes out he stomach and back cracking his back. He returns to a straight posture.
Louise flinches at the cracking. "Don't ever do that do that again!" She orders.
He just waves a hand at her. "Sorry Blanc, but old habits die hard. Don't expect it to stop happening anytime soon." Yuudai replies calm. He had his rest and had time to cool down, so he is less likely to lash out at her.
"Don't talk back to your master!"
"Let me know when you see her." He says with a small grin. He does have the tendency to be sarcastic and a smart ass sometimes though. She rolls her eyes as she starts to strip. Yuudai's eyes widen to saucers. "As much as my male body likes this, I don't think teenage girls should strip front of teenage guys."
"Let me know when you see a teenage guy then." She says smirking while putting on her nightgown.
He turns his head in a mock pout. "Cheap shot."
She laughs a little bit and gets into her bed. Yuudai doesn't comment to the laugh because he knows if he does he'll just end up being denied dinner again. "Get my clothes cleaned by the time you wake me up." She demands softly.
"I'll see about it Blanc." He replies while planning on just handing it off to the nearest girl so that he doesn't have to wash her underwear. He picks up all the dirty clothes in a basket and walks out of the room. He walks away for a few minutes looking around until he walks by the blond playboy and a first year.
"Would you please meet with me tomorrow Lord Guiche?" The girl asks nervous and obviously infatuated with him.
He lifts her chin with a gentle touch and a gentle face to go with it. "Of course I will my beautiful Katie. I would anything for my darling jewel."
Yuudai rolls his eyes. "Too bad she can't see the deceit in his eyes. If I were her I'd ignore him and go on with my life." He says to himself.
He gets a little ways before he hears the blond. "Your Louise's familiar! The one who insulted me today!" Guiche yells furious.
Yuudai sets the basket down and turns around. "Yo Guiche, what's up?" Yuudai greets grinning.
"Do you know this guy Lord Guiche?" Katie questions.
"Unfortunately we do, but oh well. Disappointing things happens all the time." Yuudai answers. "I'm sure his parents could attest to this." He adds under his breath as a joke for himself.
"How do you know my name commoner?" Guiche asks gritting his teeth.
"I heard your girlfriend there say your name. Not sure how you expect me not to know, but I do." He explains. "It's been nice talking to you, but I gotta deliver this laundry to someone who actually knows how to clean it." He turns back around picking up the laundry. He then walks away to find said someone.
He walks for a while unsuccessful in finding someone still. He turns a corner expecting nothing again. Wrong. He actually walks into a girl in a maid uniform. The clothes fall out as he fall onto the floor as well as the maid.
"Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going. Here." Yuudai offers his hand to her once he is standing. She looks up at him and a surge of familiarity shoots through both of them. The two simultaneously look at each other while Yuudai shrugs the feeling off. "Well?"
She snaps out of her state of familiarity and takes his hand. He then pulls her up giving her a warm smile. "This is strange, but have we met before?" The girl asks.
Yuudai can easily tell she is around his age. "Highly unlikely, but who knows?" Yuudai replies still smiling. "My name is Yuudai."
She tries to return the smile, but fails causing her to look way more nervous than she actually is. "Mine is Siesta. I am sorry I bumped into you, I was just thinking of what the human familiar looks like and if he acts like one of the nobles."
"If you mean arrogant and a jerk then that is debatable." He responds knowing that he can be arrogant sometimes.
"How do you know Mr. Yuudai?"
"Please don't ever call me mister again." He requests shivering at being call Mr. "It makes me sound like I actually have a social life. Oh and it makes me feel old." He explains. "And to answer your question, I am that very familiar!" He exclaims hitting a pose with a peace sign up in the air with his other on his hip. His legs are also spread at arms length.
Siesta sweat drops at him. "Your definitely a weird one."
An imaginary arrow impales him from behind. He then slumps down to his knees. "So cruel."
Siesta looks over to the fallen clothes noticing they're women's clothing. "Do you need help cleaning those?"
He stands back up with a straight face and normal attitude for him. "Yeah, I was actually walking around looking for someone that knows how to clean them. Do you think you can help me by cleaning them?" He questions putting his hands in his pockets.
Siesta nods gesturing for him to follow her outside. The two walk in a comfortable silence as they reach their destination. The water fountain. Yuudai stares blankly at the body of water. He sighs in exasperation.
"What was I expecting a washer and dryer?" The teen boy asks himself.
"What is a washer and dryer?" Siesta asks him while starting the laundry.
"Something I took for granted for far too long back home." He replies.
"Where did you come from anyway?" Siesta asks seeing if this weird, but kind boy will answer her.
Yuudai puts a hand under his chin. "Want my honest answer?" She nods turning to face him. "Then my answer is that I can't tell you." He states bluntly. Her face turns to shock and hurt. "Sorry, but as much as I like you, I only just met you. I do plan on paying you back for this, but I am not one to trust anyone immediately. There are some, but I haven't even mentioned my past to anyone yet. I plan on telling those I trust. So strive to be one of those I trust." He explains putting a determined look on her face.
"I will!"
"That's good to hear." He says looking around. A few minutes pass in silence. "I'll just head on up to Blanc's room. Bring the clothes there when your done please."
She nods. Yuudai then heads back inside just to be greeted by a red haired girl in her teens. She is a darker skin tone compared to most he has seen at this academy so far.
"Must be from another country or something." He assumes out loud.
She smiles seductively. "How perceptive of you." He stares at her for a minute. "What?"
"Why are you talking to me? No offense or anything." He quickly explains.
She giggles a bit making him cringe for some reason. "Is it wrong of me to want to talk with you?"
"Yes." She face faults to the floor. "I've been here long enough to know how people work. Nobles don't like talking to us commoners and the commoners hate talking to you as well though most tend to not show it." He then walks right on by her. "I have to return to Blanc's room, so goodnight."
Later in Louise's room
His eyes gaze softly at the basket that has just returned from being washed by Siesta. He had thanked her and said their goodbyes and now he is wondering what he should do next. Put them away or leave them there for tomorrow.
He picks up a bra of hers and laughs a lot and stops five minutes later. "Why does she even need a bra? She is as flat as a board!"
A dark feeling surges from behind him. Cold sweat starts dripping from his forehead feeling absolute dread. One small feminine hand plants itself on his shoulder sending a shiver down his spine.
"What did you say dog?" She demands darkly.
"Let's just calm down now Blanc, let's not play the blame game and say things we don't mean." He nervously suggests.
"No dinner for…for…" She trails off and then falls back to sleep. She starts to fall to the floor, but Yuudai catches her. He then carefully picks her up and carries her to the bed. Once gently placing her down, he lets out a sigh of relief.
He looks around for a bed only to find a haystack. He shakes his head in disappointment. "She really must have expected an animal." He says. He walks over to the window sill and sits there. Yuudai looks out the window. "Long way down if I fall." He then looks to the sky. "Two moons huh…one extra moon for one extra life I guess."
End
And this is the end of this chapter! Thank you for reading! This actually got more readers, favorites and followers than any of my other stories first chapters. I am happy about that.
I know that some things will be different from the original book, but that isn't going to be too obvious until later on. Especially his new power. He still has the power of Gandalfr, but he also has the other one too. I now have a full detailed of the power. Pm me to find out or wait till after it is shown next chapter. Either way.
I released this chapter because I finished early. If I finish a chapter then I will release it at that time, so I can't promise exact days.
Thanks for everyone reading, following, favoriting and reviewing this story and have a great day/night/morning!
