Chapter 4

During dinner that night…

"Mm! Mom your food is as delicious as ever!" Saito shouted, happily, as he scarfed down his food in huge gulps using his chopsticks. Louise was using a fork and knife because of her several failed attempts at using chopsticks.

"Slow down, Saito, before you choke," Aki scolded. Saito ignored her and continued to scarf down his food with a happy face and she sighed as she was not surprised.

"So, grandmother, could you tell us about great-grandfather?" said Kurata, as everyone continued to eat.

"Huh? I thought Shiina was Saito's grandmother?" said Louise in a confused tone.

"Well, Louise, dear, Shiina is actually Kurata's grandmother, but because Saito's grandmother died, Shiina has kind of taken her place," explained Aki, quickly. Louise mouthed an 'Oooh' and Shiina replied to Kurata's question.

"Well, I already found out about the sword and my new great-granddaughter, so I guess I can skip most of the explanations since I know what you and Aki know," began Shiina, as she put down her chopsticks. "Now, where to start. Saito, you said something about your maid being Japanese?"

"Yeah, Siesta, my maid, is part Japanese, part Halkeginian," said Saito.

Shiina smiled and bent over towards them, "Well I've got a little secret to share with you, so am I."

"…HUH?!" shouted everyone at the table.

"Wait, grandmother, does that mean…?" Kurata began.

"Yup! My mother was from Halkeginia. She came back with my father after they had fallen in love," said Shiina, nonchalantly, and with a smile.

"Wow! I can't believe it! That means I'm like Siesta!" Saito said, excitedly.

"Ehehe, yes! But anyways, why don't we move on to more important matters. That sword that my father passed on to me came with an instruction manual. The thing is, is that it's blank," said Shiina as she pulled out a small black book with gold edges and gold runes that were the same as Saito's.

Saito took the book, with a curious look, and his runes began to glow along with all the gold parts of the book. Saito and everyone stared at it intently. Even Derf popped out of his scabbard to see what was going on.

The book suddenly ceased glowing and Saito paused for a moment before opening the cover.

"R-Recor…a-ali…moricortaisia," read Saito aloud. The runes were written in Halkeginian which Saito still couldn't read very well. "What could that mean?"

"Partner that means 'Bearer of my sword.' Let me read the rest because it's in an ancient Halkeginian language," said Derf before Saito tilted the book in his direction. "Ahem! 'Bearer of my sword, my name is Sasha and I was the previous Gandalfr. I made this book to react only with another Gandalfr by making it with the purpose of it being a weapon. This manual will explain to you all the powers that I have merged with the sword. You, using your powers as Gandalfr, won't be able to access them naturally because magic isn't something they can make you learn. I don't know how long it has been since the second Gandalfr was born, but I wish you luck. You activating the powers of this book means only one thing, a storm…is coming."

"A storm? Does that mean something bed is going to happen?" said Shana as she pondered the meaning behind what Derf said.

"I might have a feeling…" said Saito, cryptically. "But anyways, let's see what kind of powers Sasha was talking about!"

Saito turned the page and found the first spell listed. He, excitedly, picked up Derf and raced outside, closely followed by Louise and his family.

Saito held Derf in the air and read the spell a couple times before closing his eyes and reciting the phrases. "Krackstikal boshnivar stikal moniraiya."

Derf began to glow and the blade retracted into the hilt of the sword. Everyone waited for a moment and a shining blade of lightning blasted out of the hilt.

"Woah! That's soooo cool, bro!" shouted Shana as her eyes glowed in amazement.

"Wo-o-oahhh! Look at you, Derf!" Saito shouted in excitement.

"Haha! I feel like a million bucks, partner!" shouted Derf.

Saito and everyone laughed and grinned and shouted in excitement. Everyone was happy and amazed, until the blade suddenly disappeared, and Saito collapsed a moment later.

"Saito!" shouted Louise as she flew under him to keep him from hitting the ground. Derf's blade came back out and he panicked with everyone as they all rushed to Saito's side. While everyone was freaking out over Saito, no one noticed the book that was still in his hand. The page turned by itself and it said, 'Be wary, these powers will drain you severely until your body can get used to it. Use it sparingly.'

The next day…

"Unhhh…" groaned Saito as his eyes cracked open. Everything was a bit blurry at first but things cleared up after a few seconds. Saito tilted his head to look the clock on his nightstand and saw that it was 3:00pm. Saito tried to move and realized he couldn't move his body. He also noticed a slight pressure on his arm and tilted his head just to find Louise sitting next to his bed, asleep. "Louise…?"

Louise perked up a bit at hearing her name said weakly and her head bolted upward.

"Saito! Are you alright?!" shouted Louise, worriedly, as she grabbed his hand and held it up.

"I'm…alright," Saito said, weakly. "Looks like…that magic really…takes a lot out of…me."

"Y-Yeah…" began Louise. "S-Saito, can you please not use those powers again…I can't help but feel like it will end up like Lifdrasir…"

Saito watched her as she stared at him with a worried look and he cracked a smile to show her he would be alright.

"Louise…can you get me…the manual?" said Saito, weakly, as he turned his face towards his nightstand, where the book lay. Louise frowned and got up to pick up the book before returning to her seat. She took Saito's hand before, hesitantly, putting it against it. Saito's runes glowed and the gold lettering glowed as well. Louise put the book on Saito's stomach and helped him sit up so he could look at it.

Before they could open the book, it flipped open on its own to the page with the warning on it and Saito and Louise looked at it with a puzzled face. They brought Derf over from the corner and he read them the warning, causing both Saito and Louise to perk up.

"Yes! That means…I can use it more the more…if I train," Saito said, enthusiastically, despite his weakened state.

"Yay! I'm so happy this won't kill you, Saito!" shouted Louise as she hugged Saito and squished his face into her chest. Although she doesn't have a whole lot there, nevertheless Saito still enjoyed it…until he began to suffocate. "Ah! I'm sorry Saito!"

"I-It's okay," said Saito, sheepishly, as he gasped for air.

"So, now we know that you can train your magic reserves," said Louise, happily. "Just like me with my Void magic."

Saito smiled and worked up enough energy to lift his hand up to Louise's face. Louise saw him struggle but when he got it up to her cheek she pressed it against it and smiled, lovingly, at him.

"I love you, Saito," said Louise, lovingly. Saito smiled brightly at hearing this and looked straight into her eyes.

"I love you, too, Louise," said Saito just as lovingly. Louise smiled brightly at him after he said it back and she pulled her hair back behind her ear before she leaned forward to kiss Saito. They kissed lightly but neither wanted to let go.

"Hehe, getting it on in the middle of the day, bro?" said Shana as she leaned against the doorway of Saito's room. Louise jumped and Saito stiffened upon hearing her and she just laughed in a maniacal and teasing way.

"Finally! Someone gets me!" shouted Derf, excitedly.

"You, too, sword?" asked Shana as she walked over to him.

"Hell yes! I'm always with Saito, since he's my partner, and ever since they got married it's been non-stop of this! Even last night th-" said Derf before Louise jumped and forced him into his scabbard, silencing him.

"Stupid sword," muttered Louise with a bright blush on her face. Shana stared at her with a smug look, knowing exactly what Louise was shutting Derf up about.

Saito laid there and sighed before Shana grinned and spun on her heel before walking out because she wanted to leave her brother to rest.

This is going to be a LONG week, thought Saito in an uninterested mood. He wasn't really in the mood to deal with his sister's teases.

Several days later…

"Dear, do you really need to leave so soon?" said Aki, worriedly. She didn't want Saito to leave so soon after only a week had passed by.

"Don't worry, mom, I'll make sure to visit when things are calm in Tristain," said Saito, reassuringly.

"Haha, relax, Aki, Saito will be sure to be back, though that will probably be when we will be having little feet running around the house again," said Kurata, cheerfully. Saito and Louise immediately understood the meaning and blushed, violently, at the thought.

"Bro, you better not forget to call me whenever you're in Japan," said Shana while she head locked Saito and rubbed his head with her fist.

"Alright, Alright!" Saito said as he struggled in her grip. Shana laughed and released her grip on him before his grandmother (technically great-grandmother) came up to him.

"You better make sure to make lots of great-great-grandchildren for me, Saito! I ain't goin' for awhile so I wanna make sure I get to pass my old stories on to as many generations as possible!" said Shiina, excitedly, as she burst forth with energy. Saito and Louise both sweat-dropped at her enthusiasm before Saito's friends came to say goodbye.

"Saito! You better not forget to come back! I need you to teach me the secrets to getting a girl," said Toriyama before he wrapped his arm around Saito's neck. Saito laughed awkwardly and nodded in response before Sakura pushed him off.

"Gosh, Toriyama, you're gonna break his neck if you tug on it so hard!" shouted Sakura. "Well, until next time, Saito. Hope you have fun in Halkeginia from me and Hikaru!"

Saito smiled at a normal goodbye and he high fived Hikaru before Asuna came in to interrupt.

"S-Saitoooooo," whined Asuna as she stared at him with big watery eyes and tears. "Do you really have to goooo?"

"Y-Yeah, Asuna, but don't worry I'll make sure to visit all of you guys again," Saito said with a sweat drop because Asuna could be so dramatic. Saito petted Asuna on the head and she looked up at him, in her chibi form, and she broke out crying and hugged him.

"Waaaah! I'm going to miss you, Saito," Asuna cried as she buried her face in Saito's chest. Saito refused to put his hands on her because he could feel Louise's jealous stare piercing his back and he sweat-dropped enormously.

Hikaru dragged Asuna off of Saito, as she kicked and screamed, with an annoyed and embarrassed look.

"Come on you, and see ya, Saito," said Hikaru as he dragged her off.

Louise opened up a World Door and she and Saito waved off to everyone before they took each other's hands and walked through the portal, ending up in their house. Saito and Louise watched the door slowly shrink and watched everyone on the other side wave at them until the door completely disappeared.

Saito smiled at the fact that his honeymoon went significantly better than he thought it would and thought to himself, Life…Life is good.

So? What did you guys think?

I finally ended the honeymoon because I really want to get into Saito using Derf 2.0.

Anyways please Review and let me know how you like things so far!

Until next time...byeee :D
