The End And The Beginning Of My Journeys In Time!
Episode 3.
Yue.
Mama mama! Wake up! Wake up right now!!
Mizuki.
Amore. Mama is sleeping, what's up?
Yue.
I jus wanted to say hi.
Mizuki.
*groan* Mama's tired baby.
Yue.
It's fife in the morning.
Mizuki.
It's five? Guess I should be waking up. Why are you up so early today?
Yue.
Donno. Maybe the adrenaline of Zia is getting to me. *bounces on bed*
Mizuki.
Okay okay I get it. I'll wake up. Will you be going to school?
Yue.
Yep. If I don't go, Zio will refuse to come and visit me! Me don want that.
Mizuki.
Okay okay. I'll warm up some water for you so you can take a bath. Go take out your uniform now.
Yue went to her bedroom and started removing her uniform from the closet.
Then her TV started showing notifications of someone calling.
Akise.
Ragazinna mattutino.
Yue.
Good morning Zio. *smiles*
Akise.
How you holding up? You a good girl?
Yue.
Yep. As long as you keep your promise.
Akise.
Don't worry. We will. I am a CEO yes. But I'll make time for you, okay?
Yue.
Big flex but okay....
Akise.
*sigh* Did Zia teach you to talk like that?
Yue.
Anyways, what's up? Why'd you call, Zio?
Akise.
Today is Tuesday. We'll be there by Sunday morning. We start our journey on Saturday because it takes over ten hours to reach to Japan. You understand that, don't you?
Akise.
Good girl. Be good until we come.
Akise.
So. Do you know anime?
Akise.
Main characters of Gintama.
Yue.
Gintoki Sakata, Shinpachi Shimura, Kagura and Sadahara.
Yue.
Ash and Pikachu. I saw Pikachu beat Araichu recently! *squeals*
Yue.
I also saw Brole getting beaten to a pulp in Dragonball!
Akise.
Keep it down. I know you're excited but if your mama hears you, she'll take it out on me.
Mizuki.
Sakura baby, are you okay?
Yue.
Just finished bathing! I'm wearing my clothes now!
Yue.
Sorry Zio. Me have to go now. Mama is gonna freak if I'm not ready yet.
Akise.
Sii una brava ragazza ragazinna mattutino. Ciao.
Yue.
🎼Gotta bathe. Gotta wear. Go eat gotta go!🎼
After preparing, she went downstairs, ate a hefty breakfast (girl has a bottomless stomach, like Kagura) then went to school.
Mizuki.
Sakura baby! Why are you in such a hurry!
Yue.
You're so slow mama! Let's go let's go let's go! *jumps and grins*
They reach the reception at Chaldea Academy.
Mizuki.
Excuse me. I would like to register my child in this school.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Ah! You must be the Yue that the Director was talking about. Wild black hair and a peculiar pair of eyes. *smiles*
Mizuki.
Sorry about that! No matter how many times you try to comb it down it doesn't want to. *huffs*
Receptionist.(Rachel)
*chuckles* Anyway, my name is Rachel. Can you tell me your full name so that I can jot it down?
Yue.
Raiden. Yue Kazuya Raiden at your service.
Mizuki.
*sighs and chuckles*
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Such a sweetheart. Okay. Let's go. The director said I should take you to him first then you can go to class.
Mizuki.
Sakura baby. I have to go now.
Yue.
*Be cool. If I ace this week without fail, Zia and Zio will come.A few hours in this institution is nothing.* Thinks.
Mizuki.
*shocked that Yue isn't clinging onto her*
Mizuki.
*smiles* Sakura had grown so much. Bye my darling. See you at...
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Five.
Mizuki.
Yes. I'll pick you by then. Okay? Be a good girl now.
Yue and Rachel went through the back door and Yue saw wonders. The building behind her was just the reception. Beyond it was a whole city.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Welcome to Chaldea Academy, Yue.
Yue.
Whoa. It's big. I can get lost here.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Don't worry. I won't let that happen. This is the first time I've seen a childe being favored by the Director.
They walked on the neat tarmac road all the way to the end of the road where there was a skyscraper.
Yue.
Is this school really this big?
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Yes. So much is gained from the students learning here.
They went in and into the elevator they went. Took them to the fortieth floor. She slowly explained how the school works.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
The door at the end of the hall. No corners no nothing. Just that one door.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Yes. Now go. We don't want to keep the Director waiting now do we.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Okay. I'll be down at the reception waiting for you so that I can. take you to your first class.
Yue.
Okay. Wish me luck. *waves and walks*
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Okay.
Yue walked with diligence because she knew she was being watched even without CCTV cameras in sight.
She knocks on the door twice.
Taki Jintan.
Ah! Raiden! You're here. And on time. *pleased*
Yue.
Good morning director.
Taki Jintan.
Nonsense. Just call me Mr. Jintan. You're not one of my employees but one of my most favored students.
Yue.
Okay. Mr. Jintan. If I may ask,why was I called here?
Taki Jintan.
I didn't want to intrude in your life. But I want you to tell me about where you come from personally.
Taki Jintan.
For the sake. I am rather intrigued with you. You don't even look human. You resemblance with a doll is sublime.
Yue.
Thank you for the compliment.
Yue.
I have an aunt and uncle. I have my mother. Hybrids from Italy and Japan.
Taki Jintan.
If you can, can you tell me their names?
Yue.
Hmm.... Mizuki Raiden is my mother. Akise and Akira Raiden are my aunt and uncle.
Taki Jintan.
What? *bewildered*
Yue.
Huh? Did I say something out of sorts?
Taki Jintan.
No no. It's nothing.
Taki Jintan.
Rachel. Come and fetch Yue and take her to her first class.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Yes Director.
Taki Jintan.
*This is utter madness. Those dangerous figures are this girl's relatives?! It's much easier not to believe it than do.* Deep in thought.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
...tor. Director!
Taki Jintan.
Yes. Yes. What is the matter, Rachel?
Receptionist.(Rachel)
I was going to say that I'll be leaving with Yue. If you'll excuse us.
Taki Jintan.
Yes yes. You may leave.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Have a good day, Director. I shall be right back to discuss something of urgency.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
What happened? Did something bad happen? What did you tell him? He looks bothered.
Yue.
No. I didn't do anything. I just told him my background and my family. That's it.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Alright.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
I guarantee you did fine.
Rachel took her to her class.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Yue. This is the Jasmine Class.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Class. This is Yue Raiden. Introduce yourself.
Yue.
Um. Hello. My name is Yue Raiden. Nice to meet you all.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
That's it? Is there anything else you'd like to tell them?
Yue.
I have to say more? *whispers*
Receptionist.(Rachel)
If you can. *whispers*
Yue.
Uh.... I think I'm good in every subject. I like cooking, athletics and technology. I think that's it.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
That was great. Okay Jasmine Class, make her feel comfortable. Ryu, you'll take her around during break.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Sorry I can't take you. I have....
Yue.
Work. I understand. Good luck. I'll be fine, don't worry.
Receptionist.(Rachel)
Good girl. Goodbye.
Yue.
*looks around to find a seat*
The class looks like the chatting point of SAO.
*Sorry. I don't know how I should describe the class*
She's about to sit near a boy who's sleeping.
Namie.
I wouldn't recommend that.
Yue.
Hmm? Why? Who are you?
Namie.
First, that's the Ryu that the class advisor was talking about. And second, I'm Hanabusa. Namie Hanabusa.
Yue.
It's fine. It's not as if he's a rabid dog. *shrugs*
Namie.
Okee. If that's what you want, your funeral.
Namie.
Anyway. Nice to meet ya.
Namie.
I'll introduce you to everyone after this class. Kay?
A woman in her forties enters the class.
Makito.
*clears throat* Good morning students. This is the start of a new year. I hope you all behave yourselves and have a great term.
Yue.
Who's that? *whispers*
Namie.
They call her Matron Makito because she's really strict about dress code, etiquette,that kinda stuff. *whispers*
Makito.
Let's start class. For those who do not know me, I'm known as Ms. Makito. I teach History, Literature, Art and Etiquette. I take my work seriously and it must be done with the outmost diligence.
Makito.
Now. We'll be studying Africa today.
Namie.
Remember, don't act up. You don't want to be in her black books on the first day. *whispers*
Namie.
I know that kind of grin. You look like my twin. He's a pain. Just don't cause too much trouble. *sighs and whispers*
Makito.
We'll be looking at the struggle and partitioning of Africa and more.
Makito.
First, the early visitors. The first to step on African soil were the traders. I'll speak of three for now. One of them was Seyyid Said. He was a ruler in Oman Arab. He transferred his capital to Zanzibar because of it was extremely hot in Oman, he wanted to control trade from there since it was midway to India and Europe also the climate of Zanzibar favored the growth of cloves which he wanted to introduce.
Yue.
This is boring. *whispers*
Namie.
Why are you saying that? *whispers*
Yue.
I already know it all. *whispers*
Yue.
My Zia worked in Africa for more than a decade. Of course I know. *whispers*
Namie.
Whoa. Your aunt went there. Wowza. *whispers*
Makito.
You there! The one with the untamed black hair! Would you tell me about one of the explorers!
Makito.
Yes young lady. *scowls*
Makito.
You must be the new child. What's your name?
Makito.
Okay.... Yue. Tell me about an explorer since you so rudely interrupted my lesson.
Namie.
This is bad. Does she really know or is she just bluffing? Hope I'm right about her not pulling my leg. *thinks*
The boy sleeping beside her slowly tilted his head in order to take a look at Yue.
Yue.
Vasco Da Gama. Born in Portugal in 1469. Was a famous navigator and soldier. His mission in Africa was to find a sea route to India and a place where Portuguese ships would stop for fresh supplies.
Yue.
He reached the East Africa coast aboard Santa Maria in 1498. In his voyage round Africa, he visited Mozambique, Mombasa and Malindi in Kenya. He is remembered for the pillar he built in Malindi in 1498.
Yue.
It's because of his visit that Fort Jesus at Mombasa in Kenya was built. He was the first explorer to reach the East Coast of Africa in 1498.
Yue.
Soon, he arrived in Goa with the task of combating the growing corruption that had tainted the Portuguese government in India. He soon fell ill and died in Cochin, date 24 December 1524.
Makito.
*shocked beyond words*
Namie.
Hell yeah! You showed her. *squeals*
Makito.
Sit down Hanabusa! Let us continue with the lesson.
Namie.
She's just bewildered and embarrassed that someone actually talked back at her. Sucks to be her. *whispers and squeals*
Makito.
Sir William MacKinnon.....
As Makito continued to talk, Yue found herself lying on her desk and staring at the boy next to her.
Yue.
Long eyelashes..... Raven black hair like mine...... Pale skin.... *thinks*
He woke up instantly and leaned on his palm.
Ryu.
What are you looking at? *stare*
Namie.
Hey. No need to be rude hot shot. *whisper*
Ryu.
*sigh* Wake me up after she finishes talking. Night.
Namie.
Geez. The utter nerve in this guy. *scowls*
Yue.
Sorry Namie. I was busy yesterday night playing MMORPG games with my uncle. Please wake me up after class.
Namie.
Urgh.... What the? I'm not an alarm clock so... And. She's out. What a friend I made. *sighs*
Namie.
Good thing MM can't notice her let alone look her in the eye because of the shame she feels right now. *snickers*
Namie.
Hey. Hey. Hey! Wake up!
Ryu.
Let's go. I have to take you on that tour.
Namie.
Be careful. Stay strong.
Yue.
You're talking as if I'm about to fight a battle.
Namie.
Okay okay. Just go. I'll wait for you here. Bye. *waves*
They went outside class and started strolling around the school.
Ryu showed her everywhere she needs to know.
The cafeteria, the lab, the rest zone, the library, the IT class. Everywhere.
Ryu.
I'm done. You know where your second class is. Rachel must've given you the schedule for the day.
Yue.
Wait! What's your name?!
Ryu.
Hmm? Why do you want to know?
Yue.
*grits* There's no need to be rude to me! Did I do something to you! Will it cost you an arm or a leg to tell me your name, for fucks sake! *shouts*
Yue.
*Oh my. I just cursed. Thank goodness there aren't any cameras in the rest zone* thinks.
Ryu.
Did she just.... *thinks*
Ryu.
Interesting. Name's Gushiken. Ryuunosuke Gushiken.
Yue.
Its nice to meet you. I'm Raiden. Yue Kazuya Raiden.
Ryu.
Do you know what this school is about?
Yue.
I don't follow. What do you mean?
Ryu.
You know about the Selection series. The one that families were being eliminated.
Ryu.
Well. Not only etiquette was being watched, but also you and your potential. The higher ups can literally see through you.
Ryu.
Just don't walk these streets alone. You'll end up in a bad situation.
Yue.
What the? What's with this school. Do you know something?
Ryu.
I told what I needed to. I'll drop you off at your next class.
Ryu.
You look like you're three.
Ryu.
Tsk. *Interesting individual.*
Yue.
Is there something different with this school?
Yue.
It's written all over what you just said a minute ago.
Ryu.
It's rather different. The Director will explain everything in due time.
Yue.
You look older than you look.
Ryu.
How do you know I'm not telling the truth?
Yue.
How do you know I didn't lie about myself to you?
Ryu.
Answering a question with a question? Interesting indeed. *smirk*
Yue.
I can tell. Give me your hand.
Yue.
Just give it! *holds out her hand*
Yue.
*Interlocks hands with Ryu*
Yue.
You're ten. Ten years old. You've been lying to me. *grins* Dirty cheat.
Ryu.
*How did she....* thinks
Yue.
You're body. The way your heart beats, the way your eyes dilate, the structure of your bones. I could feel it all.
Ryu.
In those mere seconds?
Yue.
Or you want to tell me I'm lying?
Yue.
Silence tells me that I was right. Hehe.
Ryu.
Who is this girl? *thinks*
Ryu.
Let's go. You wouldn't want to be late on your first day.
Yue.
Okay. I have a question. Rachel said that from five to eight years are in my class on the second floor. You're ten. Why are you in our class?
Yue.
Geez. No need to answer that. *surrenders*
They walk into the next class, Art.
Yue thinks aloud session....
Yue.
Hi there. Yue here. First day in school was a blast!
Yue.
I made my very bestest friend here Namie Hanabusa! She's six. A year older than me. She said that I'll meet his twin tomorrow morning. Can't wait. I wonder if they look the same.
Yue.
I met the class rep today. His name is Ryuunosuke Gushiken. He has a cool name. Gushiken means strong willed.
Yue.
He cold. To everyone. If he were a little nicer. People will come to like him.
Yue.
Gotta admit. His features are cool. It's as if he was sculpted to perfection. Hehe. He's handsome. Like that guy in Horimiya. He's cool.
Yue.
Also, I got to roast a teacher today! So awesome and what was that name again..... Ballsy! Yeah I was badass, awesome and ballsy! I think she'll hot me up with those questions again if I misbehave again. Hehe.
Yue.
Anyway, I have to go to my next class. I'm pretty good at Art. If I do say so myself. I can't wait to double stun MM again. Gotta go or this time will be a punishment. Bya.
