Hello again. Reading reviews from the last chapter I realized that I made Louise look pretty evil. I meant to make everything seem worse than it actually is since it's from Saito's POV. This is partly what fuels the future plot but I think I'll add Louise's POV to kind of balance it out. Also, I'll try to tone down the false motive. Anyways, onto the chapter!

Saito sighed as he dragged his feet down the hallway, staring at the floor dejectedly. "I'm not even a human anymore. Now she's having me wash her clothes without breakfast. What's next, she starts whipping me?" He grumbled with his eyes closed. "Aah!" Saito was sent tumbling to the ground dropping the clothes in his arms. He looked up, glaring at whoever added to his misery when his anger turned to surprise. Sitting in front of him was an extremely cute, black haired maid clutching her arm in pain. Suddenly, she jumped up and bowed down to the floor.

"I'm so sorry milord, please forgive me! Don't hurt me please!" She begged, sounding as if she could burst into tears any second. Saito stood there, frozen in shock.

"W-w-wait, calm down. I'm not one of those snotty noble kids." Saito stuttered, crouching down trying to calm her so that she didn't start crying.

"Huh?" She slowly looked up, her eyes already wet. Saito gasped as he got a good look at her face for the first time. She had high eyebrows and striking, gray eyes that seemed to stare straight into his soul, perfectly accompanied by a delicate nose and soft, red lips. Her black hair was cut short into a bob cut that seemed to perfectly frame her face. The most surprising thing to Saito was that she seemed like an average, cute, Japanese girl.

"I-i-i'm sorry, I mean… not… to scare you." Saito managed to stutter out before groaning inwardly. What the hell was that!? So stupid!

"T-that's okay. Oh, aren't you Valliere's familiar?" She said in a soft voice.

"Yeah, my name is Saito Hiraga." He said, glancing around the room, trying not to look directly at her face so that he didn't end up staring.

"Oh, hi, I'm Siesta," She said, noticing the pile of laundry on the floor next to Saito. "Are you going to do laundry? If you don't know the way then I can show you." Saito hurriedly picked the laundry up off of the floor, realizing that he had been blindly walking with no idea where he was going.

"Umm, that would be nice, thank you." He said, his face beginning to flush in embarrassment. Tactfully, Siesta decided to just smile and lead the way. They went outside and rounded a corner into a large courtyard, sparsely decorated with small flowers here and there with a small, plain looking fountain off to the side. "Make sure to dry the delicates in the shade and don't use soap." Siesta said, smiling.

"Umm, yeah, thank you." Saito said looking down with a blush spreading across his face. Siesta just grinned nodded.

"Well, see you later." She said walking away.

"Y-y-yeah, see you." Saito said staring at her back as she walked away. He sighed and sat down on the edge of the fountain, the task ahead of him seeming less miserable with the thoughts of Siesta filling his head.

Louise:

The sun shone brightly in through the window and into her eyes as she woke up. She sat slowly up and rubbed her eyes, yawning, when she noticed a strange commoner standing above her holding her clothes. She recoiled in shock but stopped the action when she realized who he was. Oh yeah… I summoned a commoner yesterday. *Sigh… why didn't I summon a more majestic and powerful familiar. Well, whatever. "Dress me."

"Huh?" the familiar said, a look of mixed confusion and embarrassment on his face.

"Dress me, can you not speak now?" Louise said, annoyance evident in her voice.

"Umm… okay…?" The familiar said as he hesitantly began dressing her. Finally, this familiar can actually do something. Once she was dressed for the day, she turned to face him.

"Hey familiar, what's your name."

"Saito…Saito Hiraga." He said, gaining confidence.

"Hmm, that's a strange name." She said walking towards the door.

"Wait!" Saito called out, making Louise turn around.

"What?"

"Umm, what's your name?" He asked. Oh, I never told him huh?

"My name is Louise Francoise Le Blanc De La Valliere." Louise said, pride evident in her voice. She became perplexed when she saw the confused look on his face.

"That's a really long name." Saito said, surprise in his voice.

"Well that's enough of that, lets go." Louise said, turning around and walking out of the door signaling the end of the conversation. Saito stood there for a minute but soon scrambled after her. "Today the second years have a day off to bond with their familiars so let's go have some breakfast." She said leading the way to the courtyard. When they arrived, Louise took a seat but stopped him when he went to take a seat. Jeez, what an inconsiderate familiar. "What are you doing, get me breakfast." She said sighing in exasperation.

"Fine." Saito grumbled walking away.

Saito:

"Man, what the hell!" Saito mumbled to himself when he spotted that Guiche kid from yesterday. Today, he seemed to be flirting with a blonde, drill-haired girl. Oh! So this kid's a player. Saito looked around noticing the brown haired girl from yesterday. This kid's gotta pay. Saito thought outraged at Guiche's sleeziness when he bumped into someone and fell to the floor. "Wha…?" He began to say when he looked to see who he bumped into and realized it was Siesta. She looked up with a worried look on her face but when she saw who it was, she smiled. "Why hello Mister Saito," She said laughing, "Is it just me or do we always meet by bumping into each other?"

"Umm, I guess so," he said chuckling awkwardly, "how are you?"

"I'm fine, though a bit busy." She said with a wry grin, picking up the plate she dropped.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry!" Saito said, crouching down and helping her pick up the cake she'd dropped.

"Hey, maid! Hurry with the cake and don't keep my precious Mon Mon waiting!" Guiche called from across the courtyard.

"Oh I would love to stay and talk more but I need to go, I'll see you later!" Siesta said beginning to hurry away but Saito stopped her.

"You know what, I'll get it." Saito said, trying to smile charmingly but failing.

"Okay." Siesta said, stifling a laugh. Saito walked toward the brown haired girl.

"Umm, excuse me?" Saito said, tapping the girl on the shoulder. She spun around and looked at him, recognition dawning in her eyes. "Are you looking for Guiche?" Her eyes lit up when he said that.

"Do you know where he is?" She asked, not even trying to hide her happiness.

"Yeah but you need to stay behind me okay?" He said. He could see annoyance momentarily flash across her face but it was quickly extinguished by the thought of seeing her love. Saito lead the way to Guiche's table placing the cake on the table.

"Oh server by the way can you get me some coffee?" Guiche asked, never looking towards Saito.

"Oy, I'm not a waiter!" Saito said angrily. Guiche turned towards him angrily.

"Oh yeah you're from yesterday. Well go tell somebody to get me some coffee!" Guiche said exasperation in his voice.

"So who's the girl today? What happened to the one from yesterday?" Saito asked.

"What are you suggesting? I would never cheat on my precious Montmorency. Suddenly, Katie stepped out from behind him.

"Is that true Guiche," Katie asked about to cry, "You said I was the only one!"

"K-k-katie!? What are you doing here?" Guiche stuttered.

"Who is she," Montmorency asked angrily, "are the rumors about you and that first year true!?" Montmorency practically screeched.

"W-w-wait I was…"

"You said that you wanted to try my soufflé?" She said holding up a wicker basket. Both girls stomped towards him and slapped him, leaving symmetrical red hand marks on his face. Guiche turned on Saito just trying to vent his anger.

"You! Look what you just did. You just made two women cry!" Guiche yelled angrily.

"They seemed pretty angry to me." Saito said drawing laughter from the crowd that had gathered during the yelling.

"You have insulted me and made two girls cry! I challenge you to a duel! Meet me in the Vestri court if you are man enough to fight me." Guiche said, the haughtiness returning to his voice while he stomped off to Vestri court.

"I accept." Saito said confidently. What could this spoiled brat do to me?

Cliff Hanger ooooooooh snap. This took me a long time to write. Louise's POV didn't do much in this chapter but it will eventually play a part. As always, R and R and come back next time. Bye!
