"Oh sacred, beautiful and strong familiar spirit! Here I desire and plead from my heart! Answer to my guidance! "
*KABOOM*
"AAARGH! My head! Ow ow ow!! What the hell was that?! Where the heck am I?? Also what the heck is up with this smoke??"
"Je l'ai fait... JE L'AI FAIT!!"
'French?! Ok, you know what?! Screw that, how the phuck did I get here??'
Kiva's world
One hour before the summoning
Time 8:58
After leaving the castle Doran and Aoi behind, Kazuya was flying as fast as he can towards the location where the wedding ceremony was going to be held.
"Come on come on come on!"
"This is why I always remind you to read your books averagely. You keep loosing the track of time."
"ARE WE REALLY DOING THIS NOW??"
Kazuya was really panicking at the moment. Today was the day his sister was going to get married. And he was one of the most important people that must be at the wedding other than everyone else. Watching his sister going down the aisle guided by their father towards her soulmate. It was a really important day as it is when one's life changes forever, binding their fate with another's.
Kurenai Himiko was Kazuya's younger sister, 25 years old. Unlike her brother, who was a bookworm, she was a fighter. She likes going to self-defence classes, such as Karate or Boxing as a hobby.
Because of her hobby of fighting, she would sometimes challenge her brother to a fight knowing that her brother is stronger in terms of power, which is true but he rarely ever gets serious when fighting her. Every time Himiko challenges him to a fight, she would always loose or her brother just lazily lets himself be defeated.
Kazuya would usually rely on his brains every time when he's engaged in combat. Observing his enemies, tactics, fighting style. He's an experienced fighter thanks to his elders for drilling the sense of battle into him and books of martial arts he finds on his reading times. The world was at peace, both fangires and humans were living together without fear or violence. And due to that reason, Kazuya nor any of his family members doesn't need to use their powers most of the time.
Going back to Himiko, she doesn't play the violin like her elders. She doesn't really have the talent to play it like them. But she does have the talent to play a piano. Despite her love for fighting Himiko still has important things to do in her life. Such as studying in school, getting good grades, and finding a job.
During her school years however, with her talent at playing the piano, she won an award as the best pianist in school during the school's talent show. Because of that, she was scouted by an agent from the most prestigious music academy in New York. News travels fast doesn't it?
A mail had arrived to their household one day and it came from the School inviting Himiko to come to New York and continue learning there, but she chose not to go. She wanted to pursue a different career by being a self-defence teacher for young children and teenagers who wants to learn how to defend themselves.
One would wonder, how does a person finds a girl with a boyish hobby attractive and who would ever want to marry her? Well, as much as Himiko likes doing workouts and doing spars, she actually isn't that buff looking. Himiko is a girl that has long brown hair that stretches down to her shoulders with grey eyes and an athletic built body . Like her brother and father and the rest of the family, she's a half fangire. Meaning that's she is stronger than the average human and also lives longer. Her strength mostly comes from her fangire blood, but all of her skills come from her hard work.
The man that was going to marry her today is…well…the grandson of the man who once wielded the power of the Sun using the IXA gear, Nago Taiki.
Taiki is the new and current wielder of the IXA gear and is also working for the Wonderful Blue-Sky Organisation, just like his mother and grandfather. Taiki is 26 years old, has short black hair and fit body. Only a year younger than Kazuya. Taiki, is just like his grandfather who stays true to justice, but he is quite an egotistical person, often seeing himself better than others as his family has a history of fighting evil beings of the darkness with them being the warriors of light.
Before he met Himiko, he first encountered Kazuya whom he recognizes as the son of darkness and forced him to a battle, which was something that was very foolish of him to do because the situation happened to be a misunderstanding. Taiki was 16 at the time and was still a student who was attending high school. He had a really chuunibyou personality problem at the time but it was not too severe that he would always talk about how he will protect the innocents from the evil of darkness or make some dumb stories of a hidden evil organisation living in the shadow of society like a certain somebody.
The day he met Kazuya was on a Sunday morning where there was a robbery happening. The car that the robbers took drove through a park where Taiki was training himself to use the IXA gear. Because of his sick sense of justice, seeing the police's chase, he immediately chases after them being the hero to save the day. Kazuya was nearby as well at the moment, he was heading back home after doing some errands for his mother.
Since Kazuya was nearby during the incident that was happening, he thought maybe he should help the police getting rid of the chaos. Putting the groceries aside on somewhere safe, he calls out to Kivel, transforming himself into Kiva and pursued the ongoing chase.
Kazuya was faster than Taiki thanks to His training and the fangire blood inside him. He was the first person to arrive and stopped the chase. Taiki arrived a minute later after Kazuya stopped the robbers. Seeing that Kiva was there and was holding one of the robbers by the collar, he thought that Kiva was about to drain the criminal's life. Without delaying any time, Taiki puts on the IXA belt and the IXA knuckle becoming Kamen rider IXA and engaged combat with him.
Kazuya was surprised by the sudden attack but didn't really flinch, he finished the fight immediately before it even started by doing a karate chop the back of the head knocking Taiki out when he missed his punch and lost his balance.
The robbers were handcuffed and sent to jail, while Kiva was holding an unconscious IXA on his shoulder. Bringing him back to the Wonderful Blue-sky Organisation with his groceries, knowing that the white armour belonged to them and he needed to get back soon.
After an hour had passed Taiki wakes up to see that his armour had been taken off and noticed he was lying on a couch in a certain office. He sees his mother sitting on the couch that was on the opposite side of his, staring daggers at him with his father standing behind her, looking a little bit worried and scared. Yuriko was screaming and babbling for hours angered by her son's foolishness and recklessness. After finally being released from his mother's wrath, his father walks over to him to comfort and explain to him about the family situation that the Kiva family is not their enemy anymore.
And for how he met Himiko? Well, weeks had passed since the incident. Kazuya was out to buy some books with his sister at a local bookstore to help her with her studies, but coincidentally found Taiki there standing a few feet away from him in front of the store he was waiting at. He and Himiko had finished looking for books to study, now all they needed was to buy some stationeries. Seeing that Kazuya was there, Taiki demanded a rematch to see who was stronger between him and Kazuya.
"Kurenai Kazuya! I demand a rematch!" Taiki challenges Kazuya while pointing a finger at him.
"Argh, you again?" Kazuya grimaced. Obviously not liking the new company.
"Yes! It is I, Nago Taiki! Here to challenge you to yet another battle!" Taiki flamboyantly reintroduces himself while challenging Kazuya once again.
Himiko was walking back to her brother after buying the needed stationeries.
"Aniki, who's that?"
"Oh this? Just some idiot I met last week. Remember the one I talked to you about?" He answers while pointing to said man.
"Oooh."
"Hey! Who are you calling an I—" He stops his sentence half-way gasping in shock when he sees the young girl behind Kazuya.
"Oi, the heck is wrong with you?" Kazuya asks Taiki who seemed to be in a daze and having a red face.
"A beauty…" The man in question is obviously in a love-struck. He was too stunned to say much of anything as the two words he just mumbled are the only ones that are swirling around in his head.
"I'm sorry, say what now?"
"Aniki, lets go. I think he's broken."
As they were about to leave, Himiko's hand was suddenly grabbed and pulled back.
"Hey! What the—?!" Himiko was shocked from the sudden pull unable to retaliate.
"Marry me!" Taiki out of nowhere just made a proposal towards the confused girl.
"huh? HUUUUUUUUH????" Himiko and Kazuya both screamed in confusion towards the audacity of this man.
That day was quite the chaos that happened, to suddenly propose to someone who has never even met you. The two sibling has never heard something so ridiculous in their life.
After hearing that ridiculous attempt at proposing, Kazuya and Himiko immediately ran away from Taiki wanting to avoid his craziness and the eyes that were staring at them.
The next few days were hectic. Taiki had been continuously trying to ask Himiko out. The parents of both family didn't do anything about this, thinking how nice it is to be young. It was quite entertaining for them watching the chaos among their children. Yuriko didn't really mind that her son is after the child of the Kurenai. She knows how powerful they are and thinks that they're family is suitable for her child. She rather liked the fangire mother. Kazuya and Himiko's mother was a really nice person for her talk to. Kazuya didn't really do anything about it since his sister would lash out at him for trying to handle her problems.
After the continuous ridiculous attempts of asking the girl out for a date, Taiga who had been hearing of the chaotic news that was still happening sent to him by his former partner, Sagarc, decided that he'll take the matter into his own hands if neither Masao or his wife aren't going to do anything about it. He doesn't like it when his favourite grand-niece is being disturb.
And so with that, on another day of Taiki chasing Himiko, Taiga shows himself in front of Taiki and gives him a challenge. If he could ever defeat Himiko in a spar, Himiko will have to go out with him.
The outcome was obvious, Himiko won singlehandedly. She thought that once the battle was over, he would give up. But no he came back the next day and challenged her again. Over and over again, he would challenge her, either when she is in her house or sees her outside. The outcome was still the same, he kept losing to her no matter how hard he trained.
"God! You're so persistent! Just give up already!" Himiko says in frustration
"No! No way would I give up!" Taiki refused to give up.
"Why wouldn't you?! We've been fighting each other more than 30 times, and you still haven't even won once!!"
"Because I'm in love with you! The very day I met you, it was love at first sight! You're smooth black hair, you're shining black eyes, and your gracefulness when we're fighting. It truly shows your beauty!
"Wha-wha-wha?!" Himiko started blushing heavily. Other than her family and her female friends, there was never a boy that has ever praise her. And she couldn't take the rapid compliments well.
"Your smooth tender arms, your delicate finger, your—" Taiki continues.
"OK! STOP STOP! STOP IT Already!" Himiko takes deep breath before continuing. "Fine…I'll go out with you…" Himiko finally accepts the invitation while still having a red face.
"Really?!" Taiki feeling excited to hear the response
"But I have three conditions!" she stated sternly
"State it!" Taiki prepares himself to obey the rules of his beloved. Not really his yet but...oh well.
"First, you are not to tell anyone about this! Two, you will not disturb me at my house! Three, dates only on weekends! Understand?!"
"Eh??? Ki-kibishi…." Taiki weakly falls to the ground after hearing the strict rules made by Himiko.
"You will do it or the deal is OFF!"
"Ha-Hai!! I understand! I understand!" He Immediately gets back up, standing up straight.
"Love can come in any forms my child." The voice of Himiko's mother resounds in her head, reminding her what love is. 'I know mother…but I didn't expect to find someone like this that's so persistent and…dumb.' She sighs 'I hope I can find some way to get rid of him…'
And that's how their secret dating began. As he promised Himiko, he will only invite her to dates on weekend and will not disturb her at her house, but he occasionally comes there to send her flowers and gifts. Some were unexpectedly quite expensive that Himiko was surprised by it.
"So he stopped challenging you and now going on a different way to get you out with him?" Kazuya asks his sister out of curiosity.
"Ye-yeah, I think so, why?" She replies and questions back nervously.
"Nah, nothing. Just stating obvious stuffs." Kazuya answers with a poker face of I don't know, don't care. 'She definitely did something easy for him…' He thinks in suspicion. "Anyways, wanna eat lunch?"
When Himiko and Taiki go out on dates, Himiko would usually make attempts to make Taiki hate her, but to know avail, it did not work. Rather the attempts somehow gave the opposite effects. Months and years went by, as they continued their date. Himiko had finally given up on trying to get Taiki to not like her. She finally accepted his feelings for her and give her love to him in return. Taiki was truly on cloud nine when she accepted his second marriage proposal.
When they went to each others family to tell them about the news however, Himiko was shocked to hear that her family had already knew about it. She was definitely about to get mad, thinking that Taiki had broken one of his promises about their relationship that should have been kept a secret and went telling the family about it. Thankfully Kazuya was the one to defuse the situation.
"Wait, you knew about this the whole time?? How?! TAAAAAIKI!" Himiko gave Taiki the death stare, preparing to give him a death blow.
"Wait! Wait! I didn't tell them! I didn't tell them!!" Taiki in a panic state tries to calm the angry Himiko down. During that time, Kivel comes down from the hanging light on the ceiling flying towards Himiko.
"Hey, forgot about me Himiko-chan?"
"Kivel?! It was you?! But how?! I made sure that no one would be able to follow us!"
"Using the warding spell was smart, but don't forget that your brother was the one who taught you that. He had already suspected about something was off about your relationship and went to check it out himself. Hihihi, it was quite funny on how you try to—UMPH?!" Kazuya grabs Kivel and shuts his mouth.
"That's quite enough of you, partner. Yeah, just like he said. I had suspected something off was going on between the two of you so I had to check it out myself. Sorry for invading your privacy, Himiko." Kazuya apologetically explains to Himiko.
"So have the two of you decided when your marriage is gonna be? I can't wait! Hihihi." Himiko's mother, Hisako, asks excitedly.
"Well…" Himiko looks at Taiki for help
"Grandmother would definitely be pleased to attend another one of her grand children's marriage, right Dad?" Masao asks Wataru
"Your grandmother definitely would, don't you thinks so too, brother?"
"Yes…she probably will…" Taiga answers nonchalantly. 'No wonder Sagarc or Dark Kivat couldn't find her…a warding spell…. Your grandson is truly something...Wataru.' He thought in amazement.
"Tokorode, nii-san (By the way, Brother), Have you found yourself a bride yet? Mother has been bugging me about it." Wataru innocently asks.
"Geh??!!" Taiga was surprised, annoyed and somehow hurt when he heard the question. He definitely did not like that question. He hasn't found the next soon-to-be queen even after years of searching. Maya had already advised him to just look for another woman outside of the Checkmate Four but he was so stubborn that he still wants to find his queen. Does he really like arranged marriage that much?
And that's how Taiki and Himiko's marriage was planned. How ironic, the name Taiki literally means "Radiance" which can also translate to sunshine and Himiko that means "Sun child". What a coincidence. You might wonder how come the Kurenai and Nago family didn't unite in the previous generation?
Well, let's just say that…things didn't really work out for them, Masao was kind of an idiot for Yuriko, a clumsy idiot, much like his grandfather who was a playboy. She would always flip out at the things he does, such as wandering off somewhere during their date, getting distracted, or not paying the bill for the meal they had on an expensive restaurant, which was his idea in the first place. The problem was that he dropped his wallet in the taxi they took to get to the restaurant. He wasn't lying because they actually traced back the taxi and found his wallet in there. After getting his wallet back, he paid back Yuriko in full and extra for the inconvenience he caused for her.
The next day they had a meet-up about their relationship, Yuriko had suggested that they break up because the relationship that they were having isn't really working out. Masao was a kind and understanding person, a trait that he inherited from his father. So, he accepted the idea knowing what she said was true and he doesn't want to give her trouble more than he already has.
Not long after, Yuriko finally found someone else who she can actually fall in love and trust her future with. The person that she married was Amagiri Hizashi, he was an accountant from a certain Bank. The man was a very responsible and hardworking person. Even has a good salary, he's a kind of man that every women would fight over for.
Time: 8:59
"Come on! Come on! Come on!! Almost THERE!!"
Going back to Kazuya, he is already getting close to the church where his sister's wedding is going to take place. The very same church where, Nago Keisuke and Aso Megumi had their wedding. Even his Father and Grandfather had their wedding here as if this is some sort of tradition of the Kurenais' and Nagos'.
"Made it! Now, what time is it?"
"About a few more seconds before 9 o'clock"
"Oh good, means that Himiko is about to arrive. I better hurry and get ready."
Kazuya walks towards the church, and as he walks in through the door, he can already see that Taiki wearing his tuxedo and the priest who's wearing a white robe and cross pendant waiting on the altar. Other than that, he can also see the number of guests that has arrived. Both sides of the groom and bride were already filled with their family and friends. On the bride's side, all of the Kurenai family members including Maya has already gathered and were waiting on their seats. This wedding literally makes the third wedding that Maya has ever attended to. The first one, being Wataru's, the next one, was Masao's and finally today was her great-granddaughter's. Having the ability to live a long life really has its perks doesn't it? And of course, from the grooms side, all of the Nago Family members are also here, the honoured guests, Nago Keisuke and Nago Megumi who were now old but still have a little bit of their prime.
"Kazuya, you're late." Maya says with a frown to her great-grandson
"Gah! Forgive me, Great-grandmother!" Kazuya in surprise apologizes to Maya.
"You were up late reading books again, weren't you? Kaazuuyaa?" Taiga asks menacingly.
"Ye—yes…" Kazuya answers in fear as if looking at death in the face.
The clock strikes 9, the sound of a car was heard outside the church. It was the sign that the bride has finally arrived. As Kazuya, Taiga and Maya hears the car's breaks screeching, they immediately rushed to their positions. Kazuya stands next to the altar on the bride's side, while Maya and Taiga went to their seats at the front row.
The church's door was finally opened, standing there was Kurenai Himiko in her white wedding dress and a veil covering her face along with Kurenai Masao who was the guider of the bride in a tuxedo.
Everyone rises from their seats as the song from the piano begins to play, the bride is now being guided towards the groom who is waiting on the altar.
'Thank god I made it on time! If I were another minute late, Grandfather Taiga or Mother would definitely give me an earful!!'
Himiko was now standing on the altar, facing her soon to be husband, Taiki. And with that in line, the Priest begins the wedding invocation.
"Nago Taiki, will you, take Kurenai Himiko as your lovely be wedded bride?" The Priest begins
"I do."
"And you, Kurenai Himiko, have Nago Taiki as husband, swear to be with him forever?" The Priest continues.
"I do."
"With the power vested in me, I pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
The wedding invocation was finished, and now it was time for Taiki to kiss his bride as a sign that the contract is sealed. Lifting the veil that was covering her face, he prepares to kiss Himiko, but…he was feeling quite nervous to do so. He was struggling quite a bit to keep a straight when trying to kiss Himiko, he didn't want to mess it up after all. That struggle didn't go unnoticed by Himiko, as soon as she noticed that, Himiko immediately grab Taiki by the collar and pulls him in for the kiss. The sudden pull surprised Taiki for a bit but not for long, he kisses her back. After a few seconds the two separates themselves.
Now that the kiss is over, everyone was clapping cheeringly and shouting congratulations for the new couple, except a few people however as a funny memory started playing back in their mind.
'Deja vù?' Thought Wataru as he somehow got a certain feeling he's seen something familiar somewhere.
'Hehe, no doubt that's Nago-San grandson for ya.' [Kivat-Bat the Third]
"Hehehe, he's just like you dear." Megumi gigles while whispering to her husband.
"Oh please don't remind me Megumi…" Keisuke puts a hand on his face as he was reminded of the little embarrassing memory of their marriage.
In the middle of the crowd, Hisako walks in front of the alter and started giving an announcement.
"Everyone, thank you for coming to my daughter's wedding today, thank you so much. And now, please keep your ears wide open. Because now, as part of the Kurenai family tradition, our family's men will perform the passed down song by Kurenai Otoya, Dozou onegashimasu."
With the announcement over, Wataru who was sitting on one of the guests seats stands up and takes out his violin from it's case, the Bloody Rose, made by Kurenai Otoya himself. Masao and Kazuya followed suit and brought out each others violin. Now the three of them standing side by side, bringing the chinrest of their violin to their chin, no pun intended. With their bow on the strings of the violin, they began to play the sweet, beautiful melody that brought joy and pleasantness to the guests. With each pull on the violin, brings out a soothing sound to their ears and gives a calming feeling to their heart.
"Psst, hey Kivel." Kivat-bat the third who was hanging on the ceiling with Kivel started whispering, trying to call out to his grandson.
"Hmm? Yes, Grandfather?"
"What happened?"
"Huh?"
"What made you guys late? Was he doing it again?"
"Oh, that…yeah. Kazuya was assiduously reading his books again…"
"Oh dear…couldn't you forced him to sleep?"
"I have tried but all of my attempts were to no avail. His mental fortitude is really strong, not even the sleeping drug that I put in his drinks works."
The two bats sigh in defeat, knowing that nothing is going to be able to make Kazuya sleep and control his time better.
"I guess there is no helping it then."
"And awful truth, Grandfather."
"Oh come on dad! At least he was still able to make it to the wedding!"
"Giusto! Kivat-kun! Kazuya-kun is a man who keeps his promises after all!"
Kivat-bat the fourth and the Demon Imperial Dragon, Tatsulot jumps into the conversation, trying to cheer the Father and Grandson up.
"Ah well, anyways how's that coming up?" Kivat-bat the third asks Tatsulot.
"That?"
"Yes. That."
"Uhh…what was it about again?"
"What is this 'that' grandfather?"
"What we talking bout dad?"
"Oh come on Tatsulot, the thing we and Maya had discussed!"
"Oh! ' Tfhat'! Oh it's going well! But, it'll be taking some time before the process is complete though."
"I see. Well as long as that's going well everything is most likely to be fine then."
"You still haven't explain what we talking bout dad."
"We're talking bout—"
Kivat the Third couldn't finish his talk to his bat family as he could hear the three performers wounding down their song. With a long stroke of their violin's strings, all of them stop playing and Wataru plucks the four individual cords with his fingers, signalling the end of their performance was coming near. And with another short and long strokes of the violin from the three, the song finally ends. Everyone enjoyed the performance, they began to cheer as they clapped for the violinists.
"I'll tell you two about it later." Kivat the third tells to his family members as he flies down to join cheering the newlyweds. Taiki and Himiko were thanking the guests while walking down from the altar towards the church's door. When they finally reached outside, a black Mercedes with a white ribbon tied on the bonnet was waiting for them.
'Oh damn! I didn't expect this! Grandfather Taiga literally went all out on this wedding!' Kazuya was shocked to see the Mercedes, one of the most expensive vehicles that were always bought by the richest people and companies for both self-satisfaction and work related business. The one who contributed the most for the wedding was Taiga, as he had the best income and volunteered to do all the payment.
The only things left for the others were to make the invitations, decorations and goodies for the guests. You could say that things really went too smoothly. Not to mention he even booked them their honeymoon. Wherever it is, we have no idea. All of them were planned by Taiga and only he knows what's what.
Damn doting grandpa, Masao could only thank his uncle as that was the only thing he could do. The same thing for Wataru, his brother is truly greater than him and is proud to have him as his brother. Not as an ATM of course. Taiki and Himiko hops into the Mercedes and begins to drive off from the church, heading for the airport.
"Have fun on your honeymoon sis!" Kazuya shouts to his sister.
"Arigatou minna! Aniki! Good luck on looking for your bride!! Or boyfriend! Hahaha!" She replied
"I'm not gay damn it!" Kazuya snaps at her. Everyone just laughs at the joke. As Taiki drives the Mercedes, it begins to get more and more far away from everyone's sight. And soon enough, it is now gone. 'Jeez, that girl.' Kazuya just sighs tiredly. 'Oh well, lets just hand out the goodies and be over with it.'
Ten minutes later
The Kurenai family had just finish handing out the goodies to the guests. All of them had left except for one family, the Nago's . The men of each family offered to clean up the place and will handle with retuning the rental chairs while the women takes a rest and chats with each other. Everything had went well without any problems and it gave the family the feeling of peace. And soon after that, the cleaning was finish and everyone decided to sit down and chat somewhere in a restaurant. It has been awhile since the Nagos and Kurenai had seen each other after all.
"Hey, where is Kazuya?" Hisako asks, not seeing her son anywhere.
"Wait, wasn't he here just now?" Masao begins looking for as well.
"I'm here. I'm here! Just went to the bathroom to change my clothes." Kazuya came out from the church. Apparently he had brought his normal everyday clothes with him inside of his violin case. Wearing a black jacket with red colouring on its inside over a black t-shirt, a pair of red jeans, black boots and scarlet scarf around his neck with a Kiva tattoo sewed on it. Every time he wears those clothes, it keeps giving everyone a sense of nostalgia as the clothing was something that almost matches his grandfather old style. But Kazuya doesn't know about that. He never referenced it anywhere, it was just the style that he thinks fits well with him.
"Where did you kept those?" Taiga asks with his eyebrow pulled up.
"In my violin case." He deadpans while pointing his thumb to the violin case on his back.
"Really? Seriously?! You had time to pack your clothes?! Not to mention, in your violin case??!!" Taiga starting to get angry.
"Pfft!" Megumi holding back her laugh. 'I see that the peculiarities really does run in the family, hehehe.'
"Nii-san, please calm down! That's just how he is!" Wataru tries to calm Taiga down. "Hmph!" Taiga only huffs in response but calms down anyway. "Phew..." Wataru sighs in relief.
Seeing his uncle has calmed down, Masao decides to take over the conversation. "Anyways Kazuya, we're about to go and grab something to eat with the Nago family. Would you like to join us?"
"Uhh, no thanks. I think I'm just gonna get back home if you don't mind." He answers.
"No we don't. Just be safe okay son?" Masao continues.
"Sure dad. Sure." He was about to leave until Maya decided to ask him something.
"Wait, Kazuya."
"Yes great-grandmother?"
"Where is Aoi? Wasn't she supposed to be with you?"
"Now that you mention it...she was supposed to be coming here on the Machine Kivaa since I had rushed out of Doran by flying just now...oops..."
"Kazuya-kun...you have to make sure that you take care of Aoi-san. Jirou-san has given you his trust to watch over her. And it is your responsibility to make sure you do so." Wataru reminds his grandson.
"Yes grandfather... I'll be sure to contact her right away..." Kazuya slouches, feeling guilty.
"Good, we'll be going now. Take care of yourself...my genius grandson. Oh dear that sounded a little weird..." Wataru says goodbye to his grandson but ended up making himself feel embarrassed by his own words adoration. His grandson on the other hand, just stared at him. Surprised by the sudden choice of words his grandfather just used. He recollects himself after a moment of silence.
"I will grandfather, see you all later! Let's go Kivel!" After saying those words Kazuya once again transform himself into the emperor bat form and flies off into the sky with Kivel by his side.
"Oh dear...even though I have already become a grandfather I still can't shake off the embarrassing feeling..." Wataru slouches, disappointed of himself for still having his timid personality problem.
"Well its good to see you haven't change Wataru." Keisuke walks over to Wataru and puts his right on Wataru's left shoulder. "I might have aged a bit, but I'm still me!" Keisuke continues, cheering up his old friend.
"Nago-san..." Wataru looks at Keisuke with a feeling of aamazement. "It seems that time has actually got to you huh?" Wataru says with a joking face, feeling a little relieved thanks to Keisuke and decides to change the subject. "Wha—?! The heck does that mean?! Te yu ka!(Wait a minute!) you're still calling me by my last name??" Keisuke's face flares up both with embarrassment and a little anger. Everyone started laughing at the old man. Making him more embarrassed. "Stop laughing!"
Going back to Kazuya. He was flying over the city, enjoying the freedom and joy of flying. In about five minutes, he decides to land on one of the tall buildings.
"HMMP! Ah~. That felt great." Kazuya turns back into his human form and stretches himself before he sits down near the ledge of the building.
"It is isn't it? Ah~ look at this view! The view is beautiful from up here!" Kivel says in astonishment.
"It definitely is. All of this is mostly thanks Grandfather Taiga's work, our world's To*y S*a*k."
"Eh? I thought you only like to read books? Since when did you started watching TV?"
"Don't you remember that one time where we followed Himiko and Taiki into the movie theatre?"
"Eh?? They were watching that?? Wait a minute, weren't they watching a romantic movie?"
"They were but Himiko didn't liked it. Taiki noticed that and tried to make it up for her. It was pure coincidence that the Av*ng*rs movie was about to be played. And I suppose you can tell what happened next."
"Oh…how come I didn't remember that?"
"You fell asleep." Kazuya deadpans.
"Eeeh?? Nooooo! How could that happened?! I like watching romantic movies! How could I fell asleep?! Ari e nai!! (That's impossible!!)"
"Oh come on Kivel, that movie was four damn hours long. Honestly it felt like it was longer than four hours though, I almost fell asleep twice because the romantic scenes takes too long to show up. And you fell asleep during the investigation part of the movie.
"Ah…so desu ka…(so that's how it is…) [sob] [sob] " Kivel cries.
"Enough about that, I'm gonna call Aoi." Kazuya takes out his mobile phone and proceeds to dial Aoi's phone number.
With Aoi
After seeing her master leaving the Castle Doran, Aoi had prepared herself to go out. Since Kazuya had left for the wedding by flying there, Aoi had thought about using the Machine Kiva as her transportation vehicle to head for the wedding. As soon as she gets on the bike, she immediately drove off out of the forest that surrounds the mountain they were hiding in.
Why was the Castle Doran hidden in the mountains rather than staying near the city? Well, there is an answer to that question. The reason was that, a lot of things had change after the Neo-fangire attack. Since the Neo-fangire attack was caused by fangires time travelling from the future, the family decided that the Castle Doran be moved far way from the vicinity of human residences as the time travel portal was opened near it. Maya suspected that because Castle Doran has the power to time travel, it could have been the caused for why the Neo-fangires were able to come into the past. The Time Door inside Castle Doran can't be accessed by anyone other than the Royal Fangires. In other words, the Neo-fangires must have used something else to open the time gate, and Castle Doran was their hook for it. So in order to avoid the lost of many innocent lives, it was suggested that the Castle Doran was moved far away in order to avoid and contain the chaos that might come from it.
Going back to Aoi, she is seen to be carrying a pair of paper bags in her arms filled with cooking ingredients. Breads, coffee beans, vegetables, fruits and meats were the contents inside the paper bags. Apparently the kitchen in Castle Doran was about to dry out, so she decided to do some groceries.
*RING RING* *RING RING* *RING RING* Her phone rings telling her that someone is calling her.
"Hello?" She answers the call.
"Aoi? Where are you? Did something happen?"
"Ah! Kazuya-sama! Kochi wa daijoubu desu! (I'm fine here!) Just doing some groceries. The food in te kitchen was about to ran out so..."
"Couldn't you have come to the wedding first?"
"Uhh, that was my original goal but...when I arrived in the city, the road heading to the church was jam." She explains. "Also, by the time I arrived at the city, it was already too late for me to join since the appointed time for the wedding has already past the point where it should have ended."
"Urk! That's definitely my fault isn't it...I apologize." Kazuya apologizes to Aoi feeling guilty that he made her unable to come to the wedding. She was really good friends with Himiko, so she must have felt bad that she couldn't come to her best friend's wedding.
"Please don't apologize Kazuya-sama. It is okay, I am sure that Himiko-chan understands why I couldn't come. We live far away after all."
"Ah...soudayo na...(Ah...that's true...)" Kazuya slouches in depression on the other side of the phone, remembering the awful reason why he was living so far away from his family's hometown. He also feels guilty that he had to drag Aoi into his problems.
"Please don't worry about it, Kazuya-sama. It's just how it is and there is nothing we can do about it." Says Aoi as she tries to cheer her master up.
"Na, Aoi. (Hey, Aoi.)"
"Hmm?"
"Are you sure that—" Kazuya stops his sentences midway. "Nah, it's nothing. Just make sure that you be careful when you head back home."
"Hai!" Aoi cheerfully acknowledges her master's order. Feeling happy that her master cares for her safety.
Hearing that cheerful voice of Aoi causes Kazuya to smile. 'Ahh...I forgot. This is how she is. It's only been a year since I met this kid but it feels like I already know her for a long time...hehe, what is this? A novel cliché?' Kazuya chuckles to the funny thoughts in his mind.
"Alright, I see you back at the castle then. Be safe"
"Hai!" Once again cheerfully answers before they hang up the phone. Now feeling energized, happy from the conversation she had with her master, Aoi hurries up packing the groceries into the Machine Kiva's baggage boxes and immediately starts driving towards Castle Doran. 'I have to start planning a delicious meal for Kazuya-sama when he gets back! Hihihi!' She giggles with glee as she thinks of what to cook for Kazuya.
With Kazuya.
Kazuya smiling, hangs up the call with Aoi and puts his phone away in his pocket.
"So how did it go? You seem to be quite happy. Something good happen between you and Aoi? Hmm? Hmm? Hmmmm?" Kivel asks Kazuya teasingly since he can see that his partner seems quite happy because of something.
"Oh nothing much. Just realized that I have cheerful kid waiting to take care of me when I get back." Kazuya still smiling answers Kivel's question. "Also, she's still teenager you dumb nut! Want me to get arrested or what??"
"Kazuya, she's 18. Also, its legal for female teenagers to date with older men as long as they keep themselves within legal boundaries." He retorts
"Airk! Aaarghh...!" Kazuya jerks and groans knowing what Kivel says is true. "Yeah, yeah whatever. Come on lets go get some chocolates and go home." Kazuya gets up from where he's sitting and transform himself into Emperor Bat once again. "Yay! Chocolates!" Kazuya and Kivel both have the same favourite snack, chocolates. They would always have deserts with chocolates in or on it.
Before Kazuya flies off into the sky, Kivel hangs himself onto the hanger on Kazuya's waist. The Emperor Bat form is bigger and stronger than the Kivat-bats making them superior than the Kivats in speed and strength. Usually it's either Kivel hangs onto Kazuya or Kazuya flying at slower speeds just to match up with Kivel. When Kivel learned about this, he actually felt a little jealous and defeated over the fact that his friend is completely better than him in his own family's abilities. But he soon got over it as it as he knows he's not gonna get anything from being jealous over something so small.
Kazuya flies down from the tall building towards a nearby alley to retransform himself into his human self. Their identity as Kiva is kept a secret from the public in order to avoid unnecessary attention and being attack by fangires who could still have a grudge against them. After buying their chocolates from a nearby shop, Kazuya and Kivel sits down on a nearby bench to enjoy their snack.
"Emm! Sweet! Sweet! chocolate!" Kivel says as he savours the sweet flavour from his chocolate.
"You sure do like chocolate don't you?" Kazuya jokes
"Shut up! You're just the same as me!" And Kivel shoots back the joke at him.
"Hahaha! Yeah you're right." They both laugh together until something crossed Kazuya mind. "Hey, Kivel."
"Yeaoh?" Kivel answers while grabbing another bite out of his chocolate.
"Have you ever wondered how come we resemble our grandfather more than our fathers?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, dad has a free spirited personality just like yours who's so easygoing and relaxed while we're so polite and disciplined just like our grandfathers. Don't you think that's weird?"
"Now that you mention it...yeah, that is kind of weird. Think it's a gene jumping thing?"
"Probably...hey is that a Sagarc?" Kazuya asks while pointing his finger towards the small white flying saucer.
"Huh? Oh hey! It is! Yo Sagarc-san, what's up?"
"Ti si gnihton fo ecnatropmi. Drol Taiga tnes em ot uoy ni redro ot hctaw ruoy llew gnieb dna evres uoy sa llew. I llahs eb ni ruoy erac, retsam." Sagarc explains in the dead fangire language.
"Uhhhhh...I have no idea what he just said." Kivel slouches, feeling regret for not learning the old fangire language when he had a chance.
"He said that Grandfather Taiga sent him to be my guardian and serve me. I guess that he's still angry about earlier." Kazuya explains to his partner, surprising him at the same time.
"WHa?? You can understand him??" Kivel asks, very surprised by the sudden fact that Kazuya can understand the lost language of the fangire clan.
"Castle Doran had all the records of the fangire history up to the first Royal family, including the old fangire language and I kind of memorised all of them. So yeah?"
"Na-nantekotta...I'm the part of the pure blooded demons and yet I don't know anything unlike my partner...? " Kivel kneels on the floor around the darkness with only one light source shining upon him. Feeling depressed over the fact that he's partner not only defeated him abilities but also knowledge that he as part of the demon race should know.
"Oi Kivel! The heck is wrong with you?! And how did this place just turned dark???" He asks as he sees his friend suddenly started acting weird and the weird darkness that just appeared. but jut after he asks about the odd dark lighting, they suddenly turned back bright. "Ah. The light came back."
"Oi Kazuyaaa...I swear that you really are good at everything man. I literally got left behind in almost everything already."
"Uh-hahaha. Sorry about that..." He apologizes while smiling sheepishly.
"Evah uoy delicnocer htiw hcae rehto?" Sagarc asks.
"Ah, Sagarc! Forgive us, we forgot that you were still here." Kazuya apologizes to Sagarc.
"Ereht si on deen rof ouy ot ezigolopa. Gnignahc cipot, yam I ksa yhw si Tavik-tab eht Htfif si dellac Kivel?"
"What did he say? I think I heard him saying my name."
"He did. He asked why I'm calling you Kivel instead of Kivat. It's a name that I gave him, Sagarc. There's already a few Kivat-bat in our family, so honestly it would actually be confusing to keep calling kivat and then all kivats would end up answering the other's call. Get what I mean?"
"Ho. I ees won." Sagarc answers, understanding the reason.
"Now then since you're going to be watching over me, how about I give you a name as well?"
"Huh?" Sagarc asks, confused.
"Oh! Good idea! Oh I know! How about Sagaro?" Kivel suggests
"Really? That's the best one you can come up with?" Kazuya asks while having a sweatdrop. Sagarc as well.
"Ok, then how about Sagarcia?" Kazuya gets another sweatdrop.
"Bruh. How come it's a feminine one this time?"
"Meh, just doing it on wild guesses?"
"Sagarcia..."
"Hmm?" Kazuya and Kivel looks and Sagarc questioningly. His tone of voice sounded as if he liked the name.
"Sagarcia...I ekil taht eman."
"That name is for girls though." Kazuya tells to Sagarc now known as Sagarcia.
"Tub I ma a elamef."
"EHHH??? I thought Grandfather Taiga's Sagarc was supposed to be a male??!!"
"Eht eno taht dekrow rof Drol Taiga sah deriter dna sah ssap no sih rewop otno em." Sagarcia explains
"Eh? Nani nani?" Kivel asks
"This Sagarc...is actually a female...and what's more surprising is that, this isn't the same Sagarc that once partnered with Grandfather Taiga."
"EHH? USOOO!! Gomen Sagarc! Ja na kute, Sagarcia! (Sorry Sagarc! I mean, Sagarcia!)"
"Esaelp pots gniksa rof ssenevigrof ydaerla. Ti si gnitrats ot yonna em. Dna i od ton emalb uoy rof ton gnieb erugif tuo taht i ma a elamef. Ym eciov etiuq detpyrc ngikam ti wohemos gnisufnoc." Sagarcia explains herself.
"Alright, alright sor—" Kazuya answers Sagarcia and was about to say sorry again but was stopped before he did so when Sagarcia made a sharp stare at him.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Right! Right! right! I stop! I stop!" Sagarcia returns her eyes to normal as Kazuya finally understands that she really is stating to get annoyed with their too politely-ness. Kivel just laughing quietly behind him.
"Hey, let's go home. Aoi must be waiting already." Suggest Kivel.
"Yeah, lets go." Kazuya walks into an alley and turns into Emperor Bat, ONCE again...
"llas I dloh otno ruoy niloiv?"
"Eh? You sure? How though?"
The shadow beneath Sagarcia started to enlarge itself and black haze starts coming out of it.
"Wodahs smlaer."
"Isn't that where you keep the Kukulkan? Won't it mistakenly eat it thinking it's food?" Kivel not needing to ask what was happening to Sagarcia's shadow but asks her about the Kukulkan that was living in it.
Kukulkan, the Feathered Serpent. It is still unknown to the Kurenai family of how they breed or what is their connection to the Sagarcs. Even Taiga, the former Saga himself doesn't know. The only person who could know about this would be Bishop. Unfortunately he is dead. The only information they have of it is that, the Sagarcs has a deep connection with Kukulkan and that they live in the shadow realms used by the Sagarcs, the special ability of the Sagarc clan, where they can store any kind of objects inside it. The only weakness of having the shadow realm is that, they can only be accessed by the Sagarc's own shadow and they need to make sure that their shadow is available to them. Another weakness of it is that, they can only store small sized objects.
"Eht tsal fo sti dnik sah ydearla deid. Eht wodhas mlaer si won ytpme."
"Oh. I see. Well if you don't mind then here" Kazuya hands over his violin to Sagarcia. She grabs it with her metallic tentacles and carefully places it into the shadow realms.
"No idea what you guys are talking about but now that's out of the way, lets go!" says Kivel
"Hey, Sagarcia. You might want to latch yourself onto me. Because I'm going to move very fast." Kazuya tells to Sagarcia.
"Dootsrednu." Sagarcia who understands the reason, latches herself Kazuya's stomach just right above Kivel's hanger. Sagarcia was already informed of the Emperor Bat's abilities and how does Kazuya uses it everyday thanks to Taiga and the master Sagarc.
"Better hold on tight!" Kivel tells Sagarcia. Not a minute to waste, Kazuya ONCE takes off into the sky.
(A few minutes later...)
Kazuya had already flew out of the city heading towards his home in the mountains. Feeling bored and curious of something, Kivel starts a conversation with Kazuya.
"Ne, Kazuya. (Hey, Kazuya)"
"Yeah?"
"Remember when Himiko just joked to you just now about finding yourself a love-partner?"
"Yeeaahh...?"
"If you said you're not into guys, then what kind of girls you're into then?"
"Seriously? You're actually asking me that kind of question?"
"Ja, waru katta yo! (Well, forgive me for asking then!)"
They were silent for a few seconds until Kazuya decides to answer Kivel's question.
"Well, if I were to say what's my type then...probably small petite girls who are smart?"
"Pfft! Lolicon kayo?! Hahahaha! (Pfft! You're a lolicon?! Hahahaha!)"
"Gnuoy retsam sekil llams slrig?" Sagarcia asks with curiosity.
"You can't deny them when they're actually cute! In the novels I read, they say the small girls are always the ones who works the hardest just to earn the recognition from their parents and others!" Kazuya tries to explain his reason for liking small type girls.
"Tub taht ylno sneppah ni slevon t'nseod ti?"
"Yes..." Kazuya slouches his head in depression from being hurt by reality.
"Mes esclaves qui vivent quelque part dans I'univers!"
"What the?? Did anyone heard that??" Kazuya suddenly hears an unknown female voice chanting some sort of spell but when he looks towards his left and right the person is nowhere to be seen.
"Heard what?" Kivel asks
"I did ton reah gnihtyna."
"It sounded like French..." He explains
"ô esprit famililer sacré, beau et fort!" The unknown voice continues
"There it is again!!"
"Where?? I can't hear anything!?"
"Era uoy llewnu gnuoy retsam?"
"I'm FINE! And I'm not hallucinating!"
"Ici, je désire et plaide de tout mon cœur!"
As Kazuya was flying at high speed, a green coloured portal shaped like an oval suddenly appeared in front of him. As soon as he noticed the portal, it was already too late for him to dodge it or even stop himself from crashing into it.
"OH WHAT THE HEEECCCCK!!!!!????" Those were Kazuya's last words before he was sucked into the portal along with Kivel and Sagarcia.
Inside the portal's pathway Kazuya could see himself going through many hoops of circles.
Finally reaching the end of the portal, he was thrown off from the sky. Falling headfirst at incredible speed straight towards the earth below him.
"HOOOLYYYY SHIIIIIIIT!!!!!!" He could not regain control of himself because of the unknown force that's pulling him down was too strong.
"Réspondez à mes conseils!" With the last part of the summoning spell chanted, an explosion suddenly erupted at the same time Kazuya's head smashes into the ground and smoke was spread all over the area.
"Je savais que ça allait arriver !"
"Bon sang! Qu'est-ce qu'elle a tiré ?!"
"On s'en fout?! C'est un autre échec !! Elle a échoué!"
Angry sounds of people coughing and speaking in French can be heard within the clouds of smoke.
"Skree!! Skree!! RaaHH!! WRYYY!!!" Kazuya screams in pain but rather than his normal human voice it was bat-form voice that was screeching.
'AAARGH! My head! Ow ow ow!! What the hell was that?! Where the heck am I?? Also what the heck is up with this smoke??' Kazuya pulls out his head that got plugged into the ground and clutches it tightly due to the strong pain that just inflected upon him while looking around him trying to get an idea of where he is.
"Attendez! Quel est ce son?!" One of the French speaking people started to point something out, saying they could hear something screeching in pain. The smoke was starting to clear up, giving Kazuya and the people around him their ability to see clearly back. When he started looking around, he can see people—no. He could see a number of young teenagers dressed in a wizardry like uniform all around him having different expressions. There were ones who looks afraid, ones who looks surprised, some even has their faces looked like their curiosity had reached its peak. And that's when Kazuya realized, that all of them were actually looking at him.
"Je l'ai fait... JE L'AI FAIT!"
'Huh?' Kazuya looks down towards where the voice that was screaming in excitement came from. Below him, he could see a small petite girl with pink hair and eyes, Louise. Kazuya just stares at her in confusion, not understanding of what had just happened.
[From this point on everyone's dialogue will be written in English. Except for Sagarcia]
"See?! I told you that I would get a familiar spirit stronger, better and more beautiful than you! What do you think of me now, Kirche Zerbst!!??" Louise boasts about her summoned familiar to Kirche, feeling that she has finally won a battle against Kirche.
"Dude...That's a golden bat!"
"It's huge!!"
"Whoa...you actually summoned something...!" Kirche says in amazement, admitting what Louise had said to her yesterday on the stairs is true. The other students also looked at Louise's familiar in amazement, thinking that she finally did something really unbelievable.
"A golden bat...fascinating, I have never seen this kind of familiar spirit before...and I don't think that there are records of this species." Colbert who was observing Louise's newly summoned familiar, mumbles in astonishment while rubbing his chin.
All of the students were talking among each other about Louise's familiar. Some of them suspecting that this could have been some kind goof while others were just to stunned to say anything. And the said familiar, Kazuya Kurenai who is the golden bat that is the centre of attention, was having a number of scenario meltdowns going on in his head. He was panicking. He had read many kind novels about a main characters being summoned as hero or reincarnated into another world. But he never expected that he was gonna be one of them! The stories were just fairy tales. Creations of mankind's fantasy and imaginations. There weren't supposed to be real!
'Ah shit...Oooh god...You have got to be kidding me... Are you serious? Did I seriously just got summoned to another world?? How did I even get here in the first place??!!' The image of how suddenly there was a portal that appeared in front of him flashes in his mind. 'Ah right...portal. There was a portal...' Kazuya sighs, feeling frustrated about how he suddenly just got transported unwillingly.
Noticing that there's people around him speaking amongst each other, he decides to listen in. 'Familier and convoqué...translate to Japanese would mean tsukaima (familiar) and shokan (summoned). Does that mean the reason why I suddenly got pulled into another world just to become someone's servant?'
As Kazuya was thinking of the situation he's in, Kivel and Sagarcia detaches themselves from his waist and flies over to the side of his head and started whispering with him. "Oi, Kazuya. What's going on here? And where are we?" Kivel asks.
"It appears that I just got summoned to another world to become someone's servant..." He replied.
"tahw?! woh suoegartuo!! Ohw serad seirt ot ekam eht gnuoy retsam rieht tnavres?!" Sagarcia babbles in anger while looking around, finding the one who's responsible for trying to make Kazuya their servant.
"She's angry isn't she?" Kivel points out about Sagarcia being angry.
"She is..."
One of the students called out to everyone when he noticed that there were two flying creature flying over Kazuya, talking to him. Luckily, none of the people of Halkagenia could not hear or understand any of the words spoken by Kazuya and his companions. They have only heard Kazuya's voice when was screeching in pain from having his head impacted into the earth.
"Hey guys! Look!"
"What the?! Three familiar spirits!!?? She summoned three?!!"
"You have got to be kidding me!!"
"That Louise the Zero actually summoned three familiars??"
"Are those things it's children?"
"That white one looks like its angry for some reason."
"Could it be that the big bat it's mother?!"
"Then it must be protecting her then?!"
"They look so cute!"
Everyone was even more surprised this time and were giving out more kinds comments on Louise's familiars. Not only that she summoned one big golden bat, she even summoned two smaller familiar spirits. The students were awestrucked, Louise's luck had really raised from 0 to 100. Kirche walks over to Louise and points out to her about the ridiculous summoning luck.
"Oi Louise! What's with your luck today?! This is too good to be true!"
"What's wrong Zerbst? Are you jealous of me?" Louise asks Kirche while making a snickering smile.
"Mr. Colbert, is this even possible?!" Montmorency asks Colbert for his confirmation. Doubting the possibility that Louise actually can actually use magic properly and even summoned a creature that could be recognized as a holy being due to it's golden body.
"Honestly speaking? I am baffled myself. But I have no doubts that Miss. Valliére actually summoned these creatures. They did come after the explosion after all." He explains his reason. "Isn't this great Miss Valliére? Now you won't be expelled from the academy." Colbert congratulates Louise while reassuring her that she can continue attending the Tristain academy.
"Yes!" Louise acknowledges Colbert. 'Mother, Father, Onee-sama, Chi-nee-sama, I did it! Now I won't stain our family's name' She whispers in her heart to her family back at home. Feeling relieved now that she won't ruin her family's good name that her father and mother worked hard for.
"Hmm...I think that pinkette over there is the one that summoned me." Kazuya finally figuring out the person who summoned him.
"How can you tell?"
"Everyone here already has some sort of pet on their hands, which I can very much tell are their familiars." Kazuya answers Kivel while nodding his head to the side showing him the students who has their familiar's in their hands and on their shoulders. "Also, she looks pretty much empty-handed."
"Ohhh...hahaha, pretty."
"Pardon?"
"Isn't she your type?" Kivel teases.
"Oh please shut up..."
"Tahw era ew gnitiaw rof neht, gnouy retsam? S'tel llik reh erofeb ehs sdnib uoy!" Sagarcia suggests to Kazuya.
"No. We don't kill innocent humans, Sagarcia." Kazuya scolds Sagarcia.
"tneconni?! Ehs deppandik uoy ot ekam uoy reh tnavres! T'nsi taht a emirc??"
"Hrgh..." Kazuya groans. What Sagarcia said was true. He just got kidnapped and was about to be forced into becoming another person's slave. A normal person would run away from this ordeal. They would get confused, scared and wouldn't know what to do in this kind of situation. But Kazuya was no normal man. He is the grandson of Kurenai Wataru, the great Kiva Emperor that once saved humanity from the tyranny of fangires not once but twice! Would his grandfather run away from this? No! He wouldn't! Ah well...he did ran once...But he came back!
'Grandfather would always look for answers and solutions. There are always answers for everything, and he wouldn't give up on looking on them! And that means there's an answer to why I chosen...' Kazuya strengthens his resolve to not run away from what fate has brought upon him.
He looks upon his summonner's face. She was smiling. Louise was smiling so much that her face was starting radiate a beautiful sunlight. All of her pain could finally end. She doesn't have to suffer anymore because of the name that she was not officially given. She would no longer be Louise the Zero thanks to the being she summoned. Kazuya was now her beacon of hope. The one who will help her reach the top of the world. To prove to everyone that she isn't a failure.
'She's smiling...and those eyes...I wonder, just what kind of suffering have you went through to get those eyes...?' Were his thoughts when he looked at Louise's smile and the small light glowing in her eyes. It was a smile of relieved and hope.
"Now then, please finish the ritual pact" Colbert commands to Louise.
"Yes, teacher!" She acknowledges and walks over to Kazuya, ready to seal the contract with her familiar.
"Seems like she's finally about to do it." Kazuya informs his companions.
"Tahw era uoy gnitiaw rof neht?! Llik reh! Fi ton neht nur!!!"
"Oi Kazuya, you're going to become her servant at this rate! Let's get out of here already!" Kivel and Sagarcia tries to get Kazuya to run, but their effort were to no avail. Kazuya has decided that he would not run, and he's not going back on his word.
"No. I have decided that I will stay and see where fate is trying to bring me. Plus, this could be kind fun and a good change for once." Was Kazuya's answer to his companions. Having a smirk on his face. Even though nobody can actually see it.
"WHAT?!"
"TAHW?!"
Louise had walked over to Kazuya and was looking up at his face and Kazuya looking at hers. She waves her hand down to him, signalling him to lower his head down, to which he understands and obey. With him ready to become her familiar, Louise begins chanting the spell that binds the master and familiar's bond. The "Contract servant"
"My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière." She takes the wand in her hand and points it at Kazuya's head as she chants the spell. "Pentagon that rules the five powers, bless this being, and make it my familiar!" With the chanting completed, Louise kisses Kazuya on his snout, completing the ritual. Kivel and Sagarcia couldn't do anything but watch from the side as their master was being enslaved. Hearing that Kazuya said that he will stay, they decided not to argue with him further. They have no control over him, giving them no choice but to obey and respect their master's wishes.
"It seems that the Contract Servant has ended peacefully." Says Colbert as he comes up behind Louise.
'That's how they seal the master and familiar contract? With a kiss? I was expecting that she was gonna offer up some of her blood to me or something.' He remarks. Suddenly, he started to feel something burning inside his body. Especially on his left wingtip.
'Hot... Hot! HOt!! HOT! HOOoTTT!!!!! WHAT THE HECK??? IT BURNS!!!!' Was what Kazuya screaming in his head but on the outside he was actually screeching very loudly while flapping his left wing intensely. "SKREEE!!! RAAaaaHHHH!!! WrYYYYY!!!" It is incredible how he can actually do two different things at the same time perfectly separated.
"HEy! What's the matter!? Mr. Colbert, what happening to it?!" Louise in a panicked state asks Colbert for his help as something wrong was happening to her familiar.
"Hmm...I am not sure what is going on with your familiar but it seems like it's actually still undergoing the process of the Contract Servant. I can assure you that it will be fine."
"Kazuya! What's wrong?! Speak to me!!" Kivel calls out to Kazuya. Seeing his partner in pain has really got him to panic.
"Gnuoy retsam!!!" Sagarcia who was also panicking tries to call out to her master.
The burning feeling that Kazuya felt in his wingtip was so intense as not only it was burning him, he could feel a very hot rod or pen carving onto him. One by one, runes were being carved onto his wingtip spelling a certain name. After a few seconds, the runes carving on his wingtip has finally finish and the pain that he was feeling subsides. Kazuya kneels to the ground feeling very tired after trying to hold himself together from being burned.
"Aaargh...! That burns."
"Kazuya! Are you okay?!" Kivel asks, feeling really worried.
"Familiar! Are you okay?! Does it hurts anywhere?!" After the process was completed, Louise immediately walked over to Kazuya, kneeling in front of him and touches him on the cheeks, asking him if he is injured anywhere.
"Siht namow!! Woh erad ehs!!!"
Kazuya didn't resist her touch. As Louise holds him and looks at him in his eyes, he stares back into hers. He might not have ever taste discrimination or even suffer for ones own disabilities, but he can definitely tell that those things hurt and it was written there in her eyes, and he pities her.
Kazuya in response to Louise question, answers her by having his right wing pat her head and nods his head to her. Telling her he's okay. Louise was surprised by the sudden action, but was glad that her familiar is unharmed.
'Does it sees me as one of it's children?' Louise thoughts in surprise.
"Now then, I think it's those two's turn now." Says Colbert as he looks at Kivel and Sagarcia.
"Do I have to? They don't seem to like the idea though Mr. Colbert." Louise reasons with Colbert as she points to Kivel and Sagarcia who were menacingly staring daggers at her.
"But they are still the familiars spirits that you summoned and you must finish it." Colbert reasons back. Before Louise could answer or ask him back, Kazuya moves one of his wings and covers Kivel and Sagarcia behind it. Now having the attention of Louise and Colbert who were looking at his face, he shakes his head sideways that gives the definition "No". Thankfully they got the message.
"Looks like it doesn't want them to become like their parent too..." Louise just smiles guiltily while closing her eyes.
"It seems to be so..."Colbert as well.
"Well duh! Those things are it's children! Of course it doesn't want them to become familiars as well!"
One of the female students pointed out, gaining the attention of Louise, Colbert and the demons. Hearing that causes the three vampires to have their veins pop up on their forehead albeit they are not visible to the humans.
'That brat..who the heck said that?! Oh just wait when I turn back hu—man...' Kazuya who heard that useless, untrue statement curses the person who say it. But now he was feeling a little bit dizzy, no he's too dizzy that he wants to faint. He was slowly waving his head right and left. It seems that he has finally reached his limit. The tiredness he had all day from not sleeping last night, the impact he had on his head, and the burning sensation on his hand even though it was on his wing at the moment has left him so weak and tired. Kivel and Sagarcia noticed this, immediately rushed to him and asks what's wrong.
"Kazuya! What's wrong?!" Kivel was the first ask.
"I think...I have a...concussion..."
"eht tcapmi morf eht llaf tsum evah desuac ti!"
"Argh...sleepy... Kivel watch over her. Talk to her if you need to. I'm just gonna...sleep... here..." Given out his last words, Kazuya collapses to the ground and falls asleep.
*Thump!*
"Eh?! Tsukaima! What's wrong?! Tsukaima?!"
To be continued.
Author's notes :
I apologise for cutting the chapter here. My target for chapter 2 was to finish Kazuya's side of the story before continuing his encounter with Louise. It's kind of part of his character development. And uhh...I think chapter 1 could be somewhat of a prolouge if you look back at it. On Chapter 3, it'll be completed very soon. Hopefully by next week or so since I've been trying to use as much of my free as I can to write it. Wasn't easy though since I just finish my exam and have been completely panicking about how the results going to come out. Surely you can tell what I'm going through right? Not to mention the amount of times I keep getting writer's block just because I keep failing to make a sensible and perfect sentences with moving the storyline!
And to add a few more stuff, I am still open to suggestions if anyone has any. If you want to give me suggestions PM me. If you want to comment just comment here lol. And if can, IF YOU CAN! Please PM me using the fanfiction mobile app because that would make it easier for me. I'm not gonna force or ask you to do it. I don't know why, but for some reason I cannot use the fanfiction website. So I have been completely relying on their app for reading, editing, and uploading my fics. I can still get PM messages through the normal way, just I need to turn on my data and use a private browsing app to open the website.
Another thing, I would like you all who reads my fanfics to take a little bit of time check out my profile. I have a list of fanfics that I always wanted to write but I don't know which one to write next. Most of them are from old animes that has been uploaded for a long time but they're definitely gold. There were good time animes. If any of you find any of them interesting, you know what to do.
Well that's all from me. See you in probably next week. bye!
