! STRANGERS FROM ANOTHER WORLD!
Saito looked up and his jaw dropped. He blinked a couple times and rubbed his eyes. This could not be happening. His shock was further heightened as he began to slowly float into the air. This was definitely impossible, one does not float like a balloon...hmmm... AND THERE CERTAINLY WASNT TWO F##KING MOONS IN THE SKY!
Outlined in the sky were two moons, one large pink and the other a smaller sea blue.
" WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME!"
-FLASHBACK-
Saito's head felt like a rock. It was so heavy. He wanted to get up but sharp pains spiked through his head. Unable to move freely without a headache, Saito contented himself with opening his eyes.
" How long was I sleeping, mom's going to shout again...ahhhh my head hurts. Man, maybe it's because of that crazy ass dream."
Saito was too preoccupied with the headache to notice two important things.
One, he was not in his room.
Two, he was not alone.
" So you're awake Dog..."
" Who's a do...wait, where am I, who are you and what's with that whip?"
The pinkette visibly twitched and gritted her teeth.
" You don't even know who your master is Dog...I'll fix that for you..."
From outside the room, Kirche, Tabitha and Eyepatch flinched as the sound of a riding crop hitting tender flesh was heard and a prompt scream followed.
" You think we should go in Tabitha? We might be intruding on something..."
" No need..."
" ..."
Suddenly the door was flung open as Saito rushed out with Louise close behind.
" STOP YOU DOG, WHAT KIND OF FAMILIAR RUNS FROM THEIR MASTER!"
" I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ON LADY, BUT I AIN'T YOUR DOG AND YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT MY MASTER!"
The three left behind stood still.
" Did Louise's familiar just run away..."
" Follow..."
" ..."
Saito thanked his time in the Athletics club as he easily lost the crazy girl and started looking for the exit. He wanted to get out as soon as possible and head home. The last thing he needed was to be associated with some drug group, God knows what his mom would do.
Saito rounded a corner and almost bumped into a blond haired boy with a ridiculously frilly shirt and brunette girl in a brown cloak.
" Sorry about that, do you think you could point me towards the exit..."
" Guiche, isn't he the zero's familiar? What's he doing..."
" Tch... The exits that way commoner...now get out of Eliza's sight, you don't deserve her beautiful gaze."
" Well whatever, thanks."
[" Guess it was my fault for interrupting them..."]
[" Anyway, I think I see the exit..."]
Behind Saito, Louise wasn't far behind.
" That dog, how dare he run away, what if the others find out... I'll be the laughing stock of the whole school. But he's fast, I lost him already..."
Louise rounded a corner saw Guiche and a first year girl.
[" Isn't Guiche with Montmorency...ahhhh, I don't have time for this!"]
" Guiche, have you seen my familiar?"
" Ah, he just left for the exits after rudely interrupting my time with Eliza... Did something happen?"
" He's headed for the exits! I have to go!"
Louise sprinted at a speed surprisingly fast for her height. It was to be expected as her pride was on the line.
" We're finally alone Eliza, now I can bask in the glory of you beauty. There is no one else I would turn my gaze towards...for you have captivated my heart."
" Really Guiche... That's so romantic..."
" Eliza, fear not any danger for I shall always be there for you..."
Guiche brought a rose up to his lips and in an overly, sickeningly cheesy move slowly leaned in.
" Hey Guiche, have you seen Louise?"
The brunette Eliza ducked under Guiche and ran away with a steaming head.
Veins popped along Guiche's forehead as he twitched and slowly turned towards Kirche and group.
" She left for the exits. May I inquire as to why everyone seems to be interrupting me, pray tell?"
" We're chasing after her familiar, the black haired kid."
" So it's his fault eh...I should have known... YOU'LL PAY FOR INTERFERING WITH MY TIME WITH DEAR ELIZA COMMONER! AFTER HIM!"
" Um... Okay?"
" Follow..."
" ..."
Outside, Saito was having a hard time moving around as the clouds blocked the moon and the grounds were pitch black. It was a little relief as his pursuers couldn't see him. He crawled along the bushes to the side of the wall, trying to get out of this crazy compound. He had seen medieval castles on TV...but they sure as hell weren't any in Japan.
" Where the hell am I... Was I kidnapped?
" Somebody cast a light..."
" Shit...I think I hear water...maybe a fountain."
Saito crouched and ducked beside the fountain and hoped his luck held.
[" Why is this happening...I was just fixing my laptop and heading home. That green void thingy must be the cause. But what kind of kidnapping tool was that. When I touched it, I was sucked in. This is definitely not normal... Shit they're getting closer..."]
Saito started to move in the opposite direction of the search party, trying to flank them and make a break for it. He continued to crouch and headed in the opposite direction.
It was getting easier to see now. The clouds must be parting.
" Shit, they're going to see me...why must the moon come ou..."
Saito looked up and his jaw dropped. He blinked a couple times and rubbed his eyes. This could not be happening. His shock was further heightened as he began to slowly float into the air. This was definitely impossible, one does not float like a balloon...hmmm... AND THERE CERTAINLY WASNT TWO F##KING MOONS IN THE SKY!
Outlined in the sky were two moons, one large pink and the other a smaller sea blue.
" WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME!"
" I'VE GOT YOU NOW COMMONER, THERE IS NO ESCAPE!"
" YOU DOG, HOW DARE YOU RUN AWAY FROM YOUR MASTER!"
" Hahahaha...this is hilarious, not only does she summon a commoner, it even tried to run away from her. She really is a Zero."
"..."
"..."
[ Louise's room]
" Why am I tied up?"
" Because you'll try to run away again."
There were five occupants in Louise's room. Louise was seated on her bed, riding crop in hand. Saito was seated beside her bed on some straw,tied up. Kirche and Tabitha were seated at a table near the window and eyepatch stood beside them. Guiche had left spouting something about his "benevolent mercy".
" What sane person would willingly stay and allow themselves to be abused."
"Are you talking back to your master Dog..." Louise's grip on the riding crop tightened.
"I'm not your 'Dog'. And last I checked I was a free man." Saito couldn't take a hint and was whipped on the back.
"Ahhhh...ouchouchouchouch...that hurts you know.."
"It's supposed to, how else am I going to discipline you."
"Louise, why don't you calm down, we should question him."
"Shut up you cow, he's my familiar, I'll do as I like."
"What's this, a washing board is trying to insult me."
Before the situation could escalate, Tabitha closed her book and directed a question towards Saito.
"Your name..."
"Umm...it's Hiraga Saito."
"Hiragasaito...that's an unusual name for a commoner isn't it Louise?"
"No uhhhh...Hiraga is my family name and Saito is my given one."
"How can a commoner have a family name, only nobles do."Louise interjected.
"What type of tunic is that...and those shoes look a little out of place.."Kirche added.
" I think can explain that. Remember, I was speaking in a different language when I first arrived.
Well...I think I'm from another world."
"Don't delude yourself Dog...that's absurd."
"I'm not lying... Where I'm from there's only one moon, a white one at that. And I'm from Tokyo,Japan."
"One moon...your familiar is definitely deluding himself. One moon is preposterous."
"What is tokyojapan?"
"Tokyo is the city I live in. It's in a country called Japan. This is gonna sound stupid but, I'm from the planet earth."
" I don't think we've ever heard of this 'japan' you speak of. And isn't earth an element.?"
"Well, this is getting us no where. Why don't you stop lying Dog. There's no need to hide your commoner ancestry and pretend to be a noble. You can't use magic anyway."
"I'm not lying, and what do you mean by commoner...aren't we all equal?"
"Louise, your familiar must have a screw loose, all equal, don't make me laugh. As if commoners could use magic that only nobility is granted."
"Drop the act already Dog. Maybe you're really crazy. Or did someone put you up to it, to make me lose face"
"I'm not crazy or lying. And I'm definitely not so shallow as to humiliate others. Why would I lie anyway, I've got a family probably worried sick about me at home. You think I want to be here, abused and called a dog. Why don't you just magic me away 'master'."
Saito was getting more frustrated by the minute and his 'master' was doing nothing to help.
"I can't just magic you away. It's not that simple. If it was, I would have done it already. The summoning is a one time and one way thing. I don't want a dog anyway."
Louise seemed a bit disheartened at the mention of Saito's family but was to stubborn to act gently.
"A moment..."
The whole room grew silent as Eyepatch spoke for the first time that day. All eyes trained on him he stared blankly around.
Saito turned towards him and finally noticed his attire.
"That's a Japanese high school uniform isn't it. Then you must be from Japan as well. Why didn't you speak up earlier. What's your name?"
Saito seemed relieved as he finally found a friend in strange lands. He was being overly friendly and gentle towards Eyepatch. All attention was on him.
"Ku..."
"Ku huh...that's a Japanese name alright. Where're you from Ku?"
