Where do I find you…?
--
The time will come when I find you…
And the time I find you, there will also be a time…
Where I lose you…--
Packing his belongings, Keigo could no think of the turn out once he gets to the place called 'Kudamono'.
A strange name that is… Fruit? He thought, as he shook his head.
"Aa… Kudamono DOES stand for fruit, Your Majesty," a voice said from over the door.
Keigo looked over to the door, and found Amy standing in good posture, smiling at him. "Do you need any help, Sire?" she asked, as she approached him.
Keigo shook his head. "Iie… If Ore-sama want something done right, Ore-sama might as well do it on my own…" he said, as he continued packing his stuff.
Amy turned to his suitcase, seeing the things neatly packed. She thought that it didn't seem to look as if the ATOBE's knew how to do such on their own.
Looks ARE deceiving, I guess… Amy thought, with a small shrug, as she remained smiling.
"Umm… Your Majesty, if you don't mind, I think I should tell you what you should and should not bring, so when you get there, you won't be bringing so much…" Amy suggested, her hands still at her back.
Keigo gave a smirk, then brushed his hand through his hair. "Arn? And you couldn't tell Ore-sama earlier?" he asked, putting a hand on his hip.
Amy gave a bow, excusing herself.
Keigo just nodded. "Fine… tell Ore-sama what to bring then…" he said, crossing his arms.
Amy approached him with her usual smile, then stopped the moment they were two inches apart. "Excuse me, Your Majesty, but I'd just like to take a glimpse of what you're wanting to bring," with that, Amy put her right hand on Keigo's head, then one on his suitcase, and in an instant, some of the things Keigo had planned to bring… had appeared, neatly packed.
Putting her hands back to her back, Amy gave a smile. "Those are the things you want, which you'll be very needing… Excuse me," with that, Amy left His Majesty in the room, dumbfounded.
--
After a while, the time came for Amy and Keigo to go their first destination.
Entering the limousine, Keigo gave Amy a suspicious look. This girl has powers… can't take her lightly… Keigo thought, as he sat on the other side of the limousine.
"Your Majesty, it's alright," Amy let out. "Even if I did have the power to harm you… it would only bring me into exile… so please don't worry…"
Atobe (a/n: Atobe now, because we're out of the Atobe house ') looked at her in shock. And in an instant, questions filled his mind, regarding what she had explained.
It's called telepathy, Your Majesty… Atobe heard from his mind.
Atobe kept looking at her, a bit frightened, though trying hard not to show so. "Do NOT ever read or talk in Ore-sama's mind again, do you understand?" he scolded.
Amy gave a curt nod. "As you wish, Your Majesty," she answered, her smile still in place.
Her smile was something you don't see everyday. Like Fuji Syuusuke, her eyes were closed and held a radiant smile, which you'd think would not break.
Curious, Atobe asked, "Amy-san, what is your relationship with Ore-sama? Are you and Ore-sama betrothed?"
He asked it so suddenly, that it took Amy slightly by surprise, opening her eyes a little. "Iie…" she softly said. "I am only the lead attendant that protects His Majesty… I have no honor to be betrothed to the king," she explained.
"Also, His Majesty is already betrothed… to a maiden needing finding of…"
Atobe looked at her, even more shocked. He wasn't betrothed to her, but someone else, but that person needs to be found, so how do they know that he's betrothed to her if they don't know where the hell she is?
Cursing to himself, Atobe looked over to the window, seeing is that he noticed the limousine had stopped.
"Ah… we're here, Your Majesty," Amy said, as she opened the door for the both of them.
Once Atobe came out, he noticed his so-called-kingdom was nothing but a plain old children's park. "You've got to be kidding Ore-sama…" Atobe mumbled to himself.
Giving a giggle, Amy walked over to the fountain, knowing that Atobe would follow in a moment.
Atobe walked around, eyeing the people in the park. Ore-sama's people are children? He thought, giving an uneasy look. Ore-sama's castle is a jungle gym? He reacted, looking at the jungle gym filled with kids.
Thinking he'd pass out, Atobe looked over to Amy, wanting to come home, seeing is that he couldn't stand the humiliation he brought to himself.
"Amy-san!" he yelled, noticing her by the fountain.
Amy took Atobe by surprise, seeing is that her eyes were opened, showing emerald green eyes, one hand facing the fountain, and once the wind blew hard, the water from the fountain split in half, opening a portal to another dimension.
Atobe looked around, trying to see if anyone else was seeing this, but the kids in the park were not minding them…
Have children suddenly gotten more mature than Ore-sama? He thought, in a panicked state.
The driver handed Amy Atobe's bags, bowed, then excused himself.
Amy looked over to Atobe, with her normal expression. "You don't need to worry, Your Majesty… those not related in your country, cannot see this passage way… let's go…" Amy said, taking a step in the fountain.
"Ah! Wait! Where are we going?" he yelled, running over to her. He gave another glimpse at the portal, then looked back at Amy. "And what is that?"
With a smile, Amy answered, "This is the portal to your kingdom, Your Majesty… Let's go," she said, as she jumped inside the portal, Atobe's luggage in her hands.
Giving a sigh of relief, Atobe mumbled, "Thank God…" and with that, he jumped in the portal as well…
--
Regaining consciousness, Atobe eyed his surroundings, noticing himself in a king-sized bed, which was not his, in a large elegant room, which was also not his, and wore gold pajamas, which he thought, Not Ore-sama's either…
He stood up from his bed, and before he could even take one step to the door, a man with long-white-silky hair approached to him, arms hanging wide, looking as if the man was going to tackle Ore-sama…
Taking some steps back, Atobe found himself back on the bed, the white-haired man, looking at him with pure concern.
"Your Majesty, are you alright? You fainted the moment you got to Kudamono," the white-haired man pointed out.
Taken aback by how he had pointed that out, Atobe rose from the bed. "Ore-sama does not faint… Ore-sama merely passed out…"
"Why, of course, Your Majesty!" the white-haired man, agreed in an instant, not wanting to insult His Majesty.
Bowing, the white-haired man introduced himself. "Your Majesty, I am Sir Ludwig Striffle III, but to His Majesty, please call me as you please…" the man named Ludwig spoke in such fluent Japanese that it was hard to believe that this man lived in an unknown country for so long.
"Hmm… Ludwig… Like you, do the people of this country speak in such fluent Japanese as well?" he asked, crossing his arms.
Ludwig looked at him in confusion. "Japanese? Your Majesty… We're speaking in Fudamon… I was actually a bit surprised on how much you now the language, when you were living in another world… Very splendid from His Majesty," Ludwig said, with a large smile.
Speaking in Fudamon? What the hell? Isn't this Japan? He thought to himself.
"Sire, I am your caretaker, in your world, you'd call me your secretary," he pointed out. "I am also your teacher for charms and Kudamono history. I will teach you things about this world… the power, the people, and the way this country works…"
Pausing, Ludwig noticed His Majesty raise his hand. "Yes?"
"Where is Amy-san?" he asked, a bit curious. "Isn't SHE Ore-sama's caretaker?" putting an emphasis on 'she', he raised an eyebrow.
Ludwig shook his head, with a small frown. "Iie, Lady Leone is only in lead command of the protection force of His Majesty… so… if you don't mind, let us proceed to your tour of the castle…" with that, Ludwig headed to the door, and with a snap, the maids came in, a robe in their hands, as they carefully put it on His Majesty.
Raising an eyebrow, Atobe thought, This is no different from how Ore-sama is back home… with a smirk, he exited the room, heading where Ludwig was.
"At the moment, Your Majesty, we are in the 2nd floor, Northeast wing, where the bedrooms for the important ones are, like His Majesty and the attendants. At the 2nd floor, Northwest wing, are the maids, soldiers, butlers, and caterers bedrooms. In the 2nd floor, North Wing, are the meeting rooms and offices for the attendants, as well as for His Majesty's library. 2nd floor, East Wing the training area, as well as the study hall. 2nd floor, West Wing, the guest rooms, for those staying over after balls, to be specific. The whole first floor, would be where the kitchen, the utility rooms, the weapon rooms, the ballroom, and of course, the lobby. And if you'd like to have a bath, please go to the 3rd floor, which is one big bathroom, for girls and boys. Do you have any questions, Your Majesty?" he asked, finally finished with his talking.
Atobe tried to put everything in mind, feeling a bit dizzy from his non-stop talking. Though Atobe had the power of money, he was no miracle worker!
As they walked down the halls, they stopped at a certain room. They were in the 2nd floor North Wing, which he remembered to be where the meeting rooms, offices for the attendants, and the library.
"Your Majesty, I'd like to introduce you to another one of your attendants, whom will also be responsible of you during your time here," Ludwig explained, opening the door.
Once Atobe stepped in, he noted that the room had an elegant flare to it. Elegant walls, elegant carpet, and elegant furniture, if he may say. The back center, in front of the large window, was a desk filled with papers, and behind those stack of papers was a raven-haired man, with his hair tied into a ponytail.
Unlike the others Atobe was acquainted with in the castle, the man wore a deep bitter expression, that you'd not help to resist asking him if he was angry at the world.
The man took a bow, introducing himself. "Your Highness, it's a pleasure to be acquainted with you. I am Sir Leonardo Desies… I am 1st in command as your caretaker… very different from Ludwig here, as your secretary…" he pointed out.
Atobe just nodded. "Pleasure…" was all, the king said.
Hearing a knock on the door, everyone but Leo turned their attention to the door, while Leo just went back to his desk doing more paper work, when he demandingly said, "Enter."
Entering the room, was a woman Atobe was very familiar with, with a boy he knew definitely…
"Seigaku's Fuji Syuusuke… Ore-sama sees you're part of this charade too," he smirked, eyeing the smiling tensai.
Fuji gave a bow. "It's nice to know His Majesty still remembers me…" he smiled.
Atobe brushed his hand through his hair, and said, "Ore-sama does not forget… Especially strong competitors like you…"
Giving a chuckle, Fuji stepped backwards, letting Ludwig gave a curt nod, then turned to His Majesty. "Amy go in front of him. "Sir Ludwig, Sir Leo," she greeted with a bow. "If you don't mind, we'd like to start our first lesson with His Majesty…"
Your Majesty, please follow Amy and Syuusuke, for they will be the ones instructing you for today," Ludwig said, with a bow to His Majesty.
Nodding, Atobe made his way towards the two. "So… where will we be going?" Atobe asked, crossing his arms, once he stopped in front of the two.
Smiling, Fuji answered, "We'll be going to the training room, which is at the East Wing… shall we go?"
Giving a heavy sigh, Atobe answered, "But we're in the North Wing," he complained. "By the time we reach the East Wing, it'd be dark by then."
The two smiling ones chuckled.
"Your Majesty, low and behold… Teleportation…" Amy said, putting her hands on her back.
Approaching Atobe, Amy put a hand on him. "Please observe."
In an instant, Amy and Atobe were suddenly in a different room, and seeing is that there were haystacks, horses and poop, Atobe noted that they were in the barn.
"Hmm… didn't think that the barn would also be so elegantly made…" Atobe commented, giving a smirk.
Amy chuckled. "Aa… If it's for His Majesty… everything should be made formal…" she said, in a soft tone.
"Your Majesty, you should name your horse," Fuji suddenly said, as he petted the horse, which was said to be Atobe's.
How did he get here?
"I know how to teleport too, Your Majesty," Fuji answered. It was obvious that he had read his thoughts.
Giving a sigh, Atobe gave an annoyed expression at Fuji. "Don't read or talk in Ore-sama's mind…"
"As you wish, Your Majesty…" Fuji answered quickly, as he stepped away from His Majesty's horse.
Atobe eyed the white stallion, then walked towards it. "…Yuki…" he let out. "The horse's name is Yuki…"
The two nodded. "As you wish, Your Majesty," the two chorused.
After a while, the time came where they REALLY had to start their first lesson. "Your Majesty, I'd like to make you choose which you'd like to study first… Telepathy, teleportation, transformation, sword fighting, or horseback riding?" Amy asked, in a sweet tone.
Giving it some time to think, he thought of what'd most be easiest to learn… Don't take Atobe the wrong way, it's just that a lot of things had just taken him by surprise that he just didn't seem too much in the mood to have a long lesson…
"Sword fighting…" he declared, after 3 minutes of thinking.
He thought sword fighting was like swinging a racquet, so how hard could it be…?
--
"Aaaahhh!" Fuji yelled, as he swung his sword over to Atobe.
Atobe dodged his attack, trying hard not to get cut in half. "ISN'T THIS AGAINST THE LAW TO ATTACK THE KING!" Atobe yelled, running around the training room.
It was a good thing the training room was very large, otherwise, Atobe had been dead long ago…
"This is not attacking, Your Majesty! But merely training! Kyaa!" again, Fuji swung his sword.
Not expecting so, Atobe tripped, and as he laid on the floor, he prayed for the amount of time he'll be having with his life.
"Enough…" Amy suddenly declared.
Giving a sigh of relief, Atobe laid flat on the floor, breathing heavily.
For a man who looks so feminine, Fuji is quite strong… Atobe admitted.
Lending a hand, Fuji gave one of his natural smiles. "You worked quite a sweat… Ne, Your Majesty?" Fuji asked, with a chuckle.
Atobe smirked, then took his hand, pulling himself up. "Ore-sama will get better… And once he does… Ore-sama will tower over Seigaku's tensai…" he declared.
With a chuckle, Fuji commented, "Saa… then I'll work hard as well, till that day comes, Your Majesty…" looking over to Amy, Fuji reminded, "Don't take Amy-chan lightly… she's first in command in your Protection Force, you know."
Atobe nodded. "So Ore-sama has heard…" he let out.
Amy didn't carry a face too intimidating, just like Fuji's. Atobe wondered how the two smiling ones were rather alike.
"If you don't mind Ore-sama asking… which Ore-sama knows you wouldn't… what's your relationship with each other?" Atobe asked, surprising the two.
Looking at one another, Fuji and Amy just answered, "comrades…"
Giving a sigh, he knew it was pointless to figure out how the two turned to be so alike, and it was hard to believe that the two were just… 'comrades'…
"Well… shall we get started…?" Amy asked, in a pleasant tone.
Atobe nodded, getting ready.
"Now… Your Majesty, I'd like you to attack me with full force, understand?" she asked, more like commanded.
Atobe didn't know about the idea. He didn't want to hurt her, more so didn't want to kill her. "Ore-sama does not want you to get hurt-."
"Your Majesty… looks are deceiving…" she pointed out, her eyes suddenly opening, giving a shine. "Please begin…"
With her request, Atobe started to get serious, just wanting to end the lesson. He swung his sword over to Amy, and in an instant, Amy shielded herself with her sword.
"Too slow, Your Majesty… The enemy will be able to kill you pathetically," once she said that, she pushed their swords away from each other, keeping a certain distance.
Annoyed by her comment, Atobe charged to her, planning on hitting her on the right side, but still… Amy blocked his attack, swinging her sword over to his sword.
"Your Majesty, your right foot should not be the one taking more charge..." she pointed out. "This is a way to test your stamina, Your Majesty… as well as your line of defense…" Amy added, pushing his sword once more.
For hours Atobe had been attacking her, but still… he could not even get a scratch, or at least a sweat on her.
6:30 had soon struck, signaling the end of their lesson.
"Your Majesty, that will be all for today…" Amy said, her eyes closed, going back to the form where she was, earlier.
Giving heavy breaths, he had noted to NEVER underestimate a girl from this country… especially those carrying swords.
"Tomorrow we'll be starting a new lesson, by your choice…" she said. "Let's proceed to the baths first then the dining room to have our dinner, shall we?" letting out a hand for him, she put her sword back to its case as to not scare His Majesty away.
Atobe took her hand, pulling himself up. "Thank you… Now… you're not the one that's going to teleport Ore-sama to the baths', right?" Atobe asked, in an uneasy expression.
Giving a giggle, Amy answered, "Aa… but I won't be joining your bath, but the bath next to it… Syuusuke will be the one to accompany you in your bath," she pointed out.
"Oh… Ore-sama sees…" he said, with a sigh.
"Demo… she can come to our bath with your order, Your Majesty," Fuji teased, with a chuckle.
Amy chuckled as well. "Very funny, Syuusuke…" she said.
Atobe smirked. "But… is it true…? Can Ore-sama order you to do such?" he asked, getting closer to her.
Seeing a tint of pink in her cheeks, Atobe gave a smirk. "So it's true then…?" with his smirk, he walked around Amy.
Fuji just gave him a look of uneasiness. Amy is going to hate me… Fuji thought.
Don't think that way… Even if he orders me to do so… I cannot object to it… he IS Our Majesty… Amy told him, telepathically.
But still… what if he DOES do so…? Fuji answered.
With a sigh, I'll just have to accept so…
Finally making a decision, Atobe, "Amy Leone… I order you to-."
