*Newbie's POV, somewhere else...*
"'Gako'?" The red-headed Dragon boy said.
"No, it's 'Galaco', baka." I pointed out to the pea-brained Dracon.
"'Galaco'? What kind of name is that for a city?" He said, which made my blood boil. [This demenion is all of our homes, and HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF OUR HOME CITY?!]
"Excuse me, but who are you?" Hikari-hime asked.
"Oh, I'm...um..." I stammered, I really didn't have a name.
"What about we call you something until we find out your name?" Hikari said as she smiled.
"I will go along with it..." I said as I felt my face heat up, Hikari-hime is just so nice towards people.
She looked around, and in her eyes I saw the reflection of a sign, but I couldn't read the backwards writing.
"What about Ritsu?" She said.
"...I will accept it...Hime-sama..." I said as I looked down to my black boots.
"So, Ritsu, can you take us somewhere away from the palace?" Kage asked.
"Hai, Oji-sama," I said as I bowed to my prince. "Follow me."
*Later, somewhere different...*
"Thank you very much for dinner, Ritsu," The dracon said to me as he slurped his Ramen.
"Your welcome, Dracon."
"Why do you keep calling me that?"
"Because, isn't that what you are?"
"Well, yes..."
"So that's why I call you that."
"Okay, but can you call me 'Pen' from now on?" He asked.
I sighed.
"So is that a 'yes'?"
"...Yes...Pen."
After dinner, we all made arrangements for bed.
"So, Ritsu, tell us something about you." Hikari said as I was getting extra blankets from my drawers.
"...I'm...not human..." I whispered as silence fell upon the room.
"Well, none of us are." Hikari said.
"I'm obviously Dracon," Pen said.
"And me and my sis are half Alien and Monster," Kage said. "So what are you, then?"
"...a Spirit...I guess..." I said.
"Wow, I've never met a ghost before!" Pen said.
"And I've never met a Dracon as Dumb as you." I told Pen as I threw a blanket to him.
*The next day, Hikari's POV...*
"Pendulum-san~!" I sang as I ran towards him.
"Kari-chan, what is it?" Pen's sweet voice asked as I looked at his mismatched eyes.
"Kari?" He asked as I came back into reality.
"Oh, sorry," I said as I brought out a little light blue bento box. "This is for you, I made it this morning, I hope you'll like it."
"Thanks Kari," He said as I gave it to him. "I'll see you soon!" I said as I ran towards Kage's room, we were going to practice magic.
"Kage, I'm here." I said as I opened the door to see my brother sitting at his desk reading a book.
"Hey, sis," He said as He marked his place with his bookmark and sat on the floor. "Shall we begin?"
*A little bit Later, Kage's POV*
"Neko-Spiritum!" Hikari said as she suddenly grew cat ears.
"I did it...right?" Hikari asked as he looked into a mirror, and frowned.
"It's okay, I'm sure you'll get the next one," I said as I flipped through the spell book. "What about we try 'Shokan'?"
"What's that?"
"It says: 'Will summon your very own loyal Guardian'"
"Can I try, Kage?" My sister asked, I thought it was a pretty easy spell, so I let her.
"Okay," Hikari dusted off her grey skirt. " 'Hogosha-Ima!' "
The room lit up with an intense light, and then I heard a roar and Hikari screaming.
"Kage, help me!" Hikari screamed as my vision adjusted to see a serpent wrapped around Hikari's small frame.
"I'm coming!" I said as I summoned a pair of blades and attacked the monster, but it seemed unaffected to magic.
"Hime-sama!" I heard someone say say as a black monster suddenly attacked the serpent, and when it's grip was poor, it grabbed Hikari and gently placed her next to me, and one thing I noticed was that it had the number '96' on it's shoulder.
Then it went back to fighting the serpent, and in the blink of an eye, it was defeated, and standing on it's head was Ritsu, in black armor.
"I am Aibou, a piece of Black Mist Himself," Then, Ritsu looked at me, eyes now a luminous yellow. "And Guardian of his spawn, Hikari and Kage Mist."
