Chapter 2

Going to the Orihara Mansion

It was still dawn. The sun was just about to shine. Most of the people at Magic Kingdom were still on their bed, sleeping peacefully. It was also the same here at the Kirishima mansion where our dear Kirishima Yuta was still sleeping soundly.

Not for long though...

"OHAYOU!!! YUTA!!! ~~~~~" Kirishima Mito greeted as she opened the door of Yuta's room with such force. Luckily, the door was made of a strong material or else it could be flying now.

"Nee-san! Could you PLEASE shut up! It is still dawn!!!" Yuta snapped as he covered his face with a spare pillow.

"Yuta! Get up now you slow poke! You will visit the Orihara's today, right???? The trip going there will take hours! Do you want to arrive there 3 in the morning tomorrow?" Mito opened the curtains.

"I don't want to...but it is still dawn..."

"You don't want to get up?" Mito asked. Yuta, being still sleepy didn't notice the mischievous tone of his sister.

"I won't..."

"Oh, NINA!!! Come here!!! Do you want to see how YUTA looks like while sleeping???!!!"

"Nina...What!!!!" Instantly, Yuta got up and rushed to the bathroom.

"Phew. That should do the trick." Mito giggled as she exited the room.

-----------------------------

Yuta was still a bit mad that his sister tricked him.

Yuta and Mito were sitting opposite each other on the rectangular table. They were about to eat their breakfast.

"Oh, NINA!!! Come here and eat breakfast with us!!!~~~" Mito called 'innocently'.

"Ha! I will not fall on your prank again!" Yuta said. He gulped when he saw Mito smirk.

"Ohayou Mito-san, Yuta." Yuta literally jumped from his seat upon hearing Sakura Nina's voice so suddenly.

"Nina?! What are you doing here?" Yuta asked after regaining his composure. Mito motioned Nina to sit beside her. Nina did so.

"Mito-san will teach me how to use my magic without my computer today. She asked me to come early today to see you before leaving." Nina explained.

They ate their breakfast while having a chat about Yuta's trip.

"Are you really going to the Orihara's, Yuta?" Nina asked.

"Yeah. Being the heir of the Kirishima's, mom and dad wanted me to meet the heir of the Orihara's. I heard, the royal family would be there also. Too bad you couldn't come. Imagine, I will not tease you for a week!" Yuta sighed.

"Mou! You always tease Rio and me! It is nice that you will be gone for a week. At least we could have a peaceful time now."

"Do you really want me to go away Nina?" Yuta asked. Only Mito noticed the slight sadness in Yuta's voice.



"Anyway, I heard that the heir of the Orihara's is a witch that practices black magic." Mito said before Nina answered. Yuta looked at her and she only smirked.

"She sure is scary." Nina said.

"I do agree with you Nina, for the first time!" Yuta exclaimed.

"Humph!"

"Yuta!!! We're leaving!!!" Mrs. Kirishima called. They all went to the front door.

"Good luck, Yuta!" Nina said.

"Yeah, and be sure to be back in one piece!!" Mito added as Yuta closed the door of the carriage.

"I will, thanks. Bye! See you next week!!!" Yuta said as the carriage moved.

"Bye!!!" Both Mito and Nina waved back at Yuta.

It was a few minutes after Yuta left. The carriage was nowhere in sight when a young boy ran towards them.

"Rio! You're late. Yuta left already!" Nina had her hands on her hips.

"This place will be quieter with Yuta gone..." Rio muttered.

"And lonelier..." Mito added.

"I agree..." Nina admitted.

There were a few moments of silence before Nina smiled again. "Well, we might as well do what we came here for!"

"I have a great idea!!!" Mito exclaimed. Nina and Rio gulped when they noticed that Mito was smirking.

"Uh...oh...I think she's up to no good..." Rio muttered.

"Mwuhahahaha!!! I am REALLY a GENUIS!!!" Mito was now laughing like a maniac.

"I think you're right...." Nina replied. Mito stopped laughing.

"Here is my idea..." Mito pulled Rio and Nina to a corner.

-----Royal Palace------------

"Prince, we are all set to go. Please tell us if you are ready." The personal assistant of the prince informed him. They were at the palace's garden.

"Could you wait a little bit. Kaji is still not here." Tsujiai Hiroki, a friend of the prince, said.

"What's taking him so long?" The prince asked Tsujiai as he took a sip at his cup of tea.

"Maybe trying to get out of his house." Tsujiai replied. The prince laughed while the assistant held a puzzled expression.

Suddenly, a figure was running towards them. It was Kaji Tetsushi

"There you are!" Tsujiai patted the back of a panting Kaji.

"Fan girls again?" The prince asked mockingly.

"What else! I couldn't get out of my house! They were blocking every possible exit!"

"How did you get out?"

Kaji's face turned red. "I dressed up as a girl..." Both Tsujiai and the prince laughed.

"Kaji is a girl! Kaji is a girl!!" The prince started. Tsujiai just laughed more.

"Guys, stop it!" Kaji's face was redder than before. The prince's laugh was reduced to a mere giggle.



"They knew that we are going to be away for a week, right? "Tsujiai asked calmly.

"Yes."

"That is why I told you to come here early!" The prince muttered.

"Good thing we will be away for a week." Kaji said.

"Good? Are you nuts! We will be staying at the Orihara's! That's the scariest place you could ever be!" The prince said.

"Have you visited it?" Tsujiai asked.

"Yeah, but only for about 10 minutes."

"Why?"

"I just came to get an important letter. That place is horrible! The walls are so cold! The portraits were all so serious, they seem to hate you!"

"I...guess...we are not going to have a good vacation..." Kaji said as a chill ran at his spine. They were silent for a while.

"Isn't that Mikami-sensei?" Tsujiai pointed a figure that was crossing the garden.

"MIKAMI-SENSEI!!!" Kaji called. Mikami-sensei turned his head. He smiled and walked towards the boys.

"Good morning!" Mikami-sensei greeted. The boys greeted him back.

"What is that suitcase for Mikami-sensei?" Tsujiai pointed a velvet suitcase that Mikami-sensei was holding.

"Er...you see...I'm planning to go in a vacation." He answered. They noticed the gloomy expression oh his face.

"But...why so sudden?"

"You...see..um...well...Tamura-sensei..." Mikami-sensei was twisting his fingers.

"Tamura-sensei dumped you." Tsujiai finished for him.

"Er...somewhat like that..." Kaji and the prince couldn't control their selves anymore so they laughed.

"Hey! that's so rude!" Mikami-sensei scolded them.

"Sorry, sensei. You see, you've been crushing on Tamura-sensei since you came here 5 years ago! Surely you can give up that crush on her and move on with your life!" Kaji explained.

"It is not merely a crush!!! I LOVE Tamura-sensei!!! She is my star, my moon, my sun...She is my first love!!!" Mikami-sensei started to have tears in his eyes.

"Hey! Why don't you come with us to the Orihara's?" The prince suggested.

"That's a great idea! Maybe you could find the one you truly love there!" Kaji exclaimed.

"Then it's decided!" Tsujiai got Mikami-sensei's suitcase and instructed a servant to bring it in the carriage.

"Do you really think so?" Mikami-sensei's eyes lit up.

"Positive" The prince said. Both Tsujiai and Kaji looked at him doubtfully.

"Yehey!! Let's go!!!" Mikami-sensei rushed to the carriage.

"What if he will not find someone there?" Kaji asked.

"Actually, he will never find one there." The prince said while looking sadly at an excited Mikami-sensei who was having a little chat with the guard.

"Why do you say so?"

"Can you find a nice lady at that place? By how it looks like?" Tsujiai explained. Gloom marks appeared on their head.

"I think no..." The 3 chorused. They were silent for a while.

"Are you ready to go, your majesty?" The assistant inquired after their long silence.

"Yeah." They all walked to a carriage that was heavily curtained.

---------------------------------

"Yuta dear, we are here." Mrs. Kirishima shook her son awake.

Yuta rubbed his eyes. The trip was so long that he fell asleep. He looked out on the window to find that there were already stars. It was almost time for dinner.

"The mansion is there." His father pointed a large Gothic style house.

Their carriage stopped at the front door. Yuta noticed that another carriage has also arrived. It bore that symbol of the Royal family.

The valets opened the carriages and helped their occupants out. Yuta couldn't help but gasp at the wonderful design the house has. He looked at the now opened front door that revealed a beautiful marble staircase. Just then a man arrived to greet them.

"Welcome to the Orihara mansion. My name is Sebastian." He bowed at them.

So what do you think? Please Review!!!

This is somewhat an alternative universe. Oh yeah, Rio here is NOT a cat! He is an ordinary wizard. Tsujiai, Kaji and the prince are best friends. Mikami-sensei is their teacher. If you are a bit confuse, just ask, okay?
