Chapter 24: New Life

•January 12th, 1pm•

This morning I received a letter from A.T. again. He said that if we we're going to work for him, we couldn't live with Arata.

He bought a house for all four of us to live in.

We were getting ready to go check out the house.

I was wearing white jeans, a simple white t-shirt and sandals.

Yumi was wearing a pink dress that fell to her knees, with white ballerina shoes.

Junior was wearing a white male tank-top with plain pants.

Ryuuji was wearing a blue jacket with black pants.

We felt like we needed some exercise, so instead of taking the carriage, we walked.

"I've always lived with my parents, it's gonna be wierd taking care of myself" Yumi said sadly.

We walked for an hour, and our legs were sore.

"How far is this place" Yumi was panting.

"It's more towards the eastern side of Japan. Where we were was mostly in the west." I said pulling out a map.

"Can I see that?" Ryuuji extended his hands towards me.

"Sure" I handed him the map and sat on a rock.

"We have about 10 more minutes of walking until we reach a city" Ryuuji explained to us.

"That's so much work" Yumi whined.

"What city are we going to?" Junior walked up to Ryuuji.

"Tokyo" I said excitingly.

"I've never been there. I hear it's really beautiful" Yumi said, her eyes glowing.

"What street?" Junior asked again.

"Akasumi" (idk if it's a real street or not)

"Come on! I want to get there before night fall!" Yumi yelled at the two guys, who were way behind us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"My friends, we are finally in. TOKYO!" I acted like a wierd magician, making my friends laugh.

"Okay now we need to find this address. But it is not on the map" I look around hoping to find someone who can help.

"Excuse me sir? Would you mind helping us find this address?" I asked in a super nice tone.

"Of course!" He gave us the directions and we set off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The letter said that we are going to be living in a beautiful mansion" I explained to them.

"How big do you think it will be?" Yumi asked me, I just shrugged my shoulders.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why so....many...God damn trees" I felt like they were fighting with me.

I pushed back some branches and.....

BAM!

I tripped over a branch and landed on my face.

"Uhn! Why am I so clumsy?" I stood up and dusted my pants.

"Are you alright?" Ryuuji asked, concerned.

"I'm fine" I felt blood fall down my face and I turned away.

I felt Ryuuji grab my wrist and turn me around.

"Hey" I pushed him away.

"You're bleeding, let me help" he pulled out a handkerchief and pulled me close to him.

He was so close that I started blushing. He dabbed my face to get the blood off and I felt like a brown tomato (haah so racist)

"There, all better now" he smiled at me.

In the back I could her Junior and Yumi giggle, but I just ignored them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After five minutes of walking we found a gate that was made of bushes and roses, it had a metal fence on the inside of it. The fence was about twice my size.

It looked like the back of the house so we went around the fence to get to the front.

When we got to the front, it looked like we weren't surrounded by any other houses, but it still looked like we were in the city, not the forest.

We walked to the entrance and saw two large white pillars with roses in them and a bush fence running around the mansion. There wasn't a gate, but since we weren't in the forest it was okay.

"Wow! So pretty!" Yumi squealed. As we walked by, there were many fountains and a BIG garden.

"Wow! I'm going to like it here" Yumi looked around happily.

I looked at the building and it was huge! (Look at the picture at the top)

It was so beautiful, I just stared at it in awe.

We walked to the front door and a gold plate on the wall caught my eye.

It said: AALIA TAKAHIRO.

"Wow I can't belive this place is ours" I pushed open the door and I immediately saw a man there.

I got scared, but calmed down when I saw his face.

"K-k-kenta?" I felt my eyes watering.

"It's good to see you again my lady" he bowed down with a hand on his chest.

"I-I thought you were....dead" I felt the tears spill out.

He walked up to me and I immediately hugged him. Kenta had been there since before I was born, and he was one of my first friends.

After I calmed down he spoke: "I would like the honor of being your butler"

"Of course" I rubbed my eyes.

"Now, I will show you all to your rooms." Kenta started walking and we all followed him.

There were four floors in total. The wallpaper was a beautiful teal color and there were many different shaped lights.

As we walked to the fourth floor, I started seeing golden plates by some of the doors. They each had our names on it.

My friends each went to their own rooms. I pushed open my bedroom doors and what I saw amazed me.

(I'll post four extra chapters describing what each of their rooms look like)

"Wow" the room was so beautiful.

I heard Kenta close the door and we sat down at a table.

"Kenta how are you alive? I thought you died with the rest of the servants"

"I would've died if it wasn't for your father. Do you know who your father really is?"

"Yes. I know about his past and everything he has done."

"Your father hired me to be his butler and someone he could trust. I worked with your father and helped him take down bad people. I was loyal to your father and he was loyal to me too. On the day of the fire I stayed by his side, trying to break him free. But he knew it couldn't be done and forced me to leave. I didn't want to, but he told that if I was really his friend I would leave, and I did. But now I'm glad I did, cause' I lived to find you." Kenta gave me a warm smile, and I returned it.

"Tomorrow we will hire servents"

"Kenta, before I fully move in here. I want to say goodbye to Arata and Ken"

"Okay my lady I will prepare the carr-"

I interrupted him "It's okay I will walk"

"Are you sure? It's dangerous"

"Yes I'm sure"

Kenta handed me a black hood and I walked back to Arata's mansion.

~at Arata's mansion~

"Arata thank you for everything. I have decided that I can't stay with you forever and that I needed to leave soon."

"It was fun spending time with you again. Take care" I hugged Arata and walked to Ken.

"Bye Ken, we'll see each other soon" I hugged him and he hugged me back tightly.

"It's getting late, I will have my servants pack your things and your friends things and I'll prepare a carriage for you."

"Thank you" I smiled at him.

We all sat down and talked for a bit.

"What city are you moving to?" Arata took a sip of his tea.

"Tokyo" I said.

"Really? Isn't that where you live Ken?"
He looked at him.

Ken looked at me and said: "yes it is"

"Well then you two will have more time to bond" Arata said putting his tea down.

"Yeah I guess" I said softly.

We talked for a little bit, but I remembered our outfits and weapons.

"Please excuse me. I just need to grab something from my room" I got up and walked to my room.

When I walked inside I saw a woman closing some suitcases.

"Hello my lady, I have finished packing your things. Your friends things are also packed." She smiled.

"Thank you" she walked out of the room and closed the door.

I walked to my closet and opened it. A while ago I find a small part that was coming off the closet on the inside and I hid my sword and outfit in there. I pulled them out and hid it under some clothes. After that I went to my friends rooms and did the same thing, they told me where they hid their things so it was easy to find them.

After 1 hour everything was packed.

I hugged them and said goodbye.

I felt the carriage move and I fell asleep.

○ Third Person P.O.V ○

The carriage had arrived and Kenta stepped out of the mansion.

He lifted Aalia up and took her to her bedroom. After that he grabbed everyone's bags and took them to their rooms.

•10pm•

○ Ken's P.O.V ○

"I can't believe Aalia lives in Tokyo now. Maybe this is fate. If I live close to her and bond more with her, maybe she will give me another chance." I thought as I walked to my room.

"I should go home too, can't stay here forever" I changed my clothes and went to sleep.

○ Aalia's P.O.V ○

I woke up at 7am and unpacked my things. I found a mini cabinet with a lock on it and hid my sword and outfit there.

When I was done I decided to explore the mansion. It seemed that only the bedrooms had furniture, the others were all empty.

As I was walking, I bumped into Kenta.

"Good morning my lady" he smiled.

"Good morning. Kenta I have a question. Do you know who A.T. is?"

"I don't know his real identity, but he contacted me and told me that this mansion would be yours and asked if I would work here. And he told me about your powers"

My eyes went wide "really?! You're not scared?"

"Not at all. When I worked with your father, we had to fight demons. Your powers are not scary compared to theirs"

This made me feel better.

Kenta said he was going to make a list of people who wanted to work for me.

•9 am•

"Woooo!" When I reached the bottom of the stairs I heard someone yell.

I saw Yumi sliding down the had rail and she fell on me.

I pushed her off "What the heck Yumi!!??"

"Hahahah you should've seen your face!" She started laughing.

I got up and we laughed some more.

"What do you plan to do?" I asked her.

"I want to go swimming. I found this swim suit in my suitcase"

"I want to swim too" Junior came down the stairs wearing nothing but shorts. I could tell Yumi was fangirling on the inside, and she also turned red.

They both walked to the pool and I went to do some more exploring.

"*sigh* there's nothing" since the rooms had no furniture it wasn't fun exploring.

"Wait, if I need furniture then I need to know how much money I have" I ran up to my room and opened the window.

I concentrated on the thought of Sebastian coming back. After five minutes he came and sat on my shoulder.

I sat at the desk in my room and wrote A.T. a note.

"I noticed that the rooms didn't have any furniture. It wanted to buy some so I wanted to know how much money I have so I can spend it wisely"

I put it in the bag on the owl and he left. He flew really fast, maybe because he is a demon owl. After 10 minutes he came back.

I pulled out the note and read it.

"Haha that's cute. Your money has no limit. I won't tell you how much it is, but it's way more than how much your mansion is. When you buy the furniture give the people this card and they will get the money from me" I looked in the bag and there was a black card with diamonds. It had a code on it, maybe that's how they will get the money.

I slipped it into my pocket and went outside.

I saw Yumi and Junior splashing each other in the pool, they look so happy.

"My lady, I have found some servants" Kenta walked up to me.

"Great, can I meet them?"

"Of course, follow me." We walked into one of the empty rooms and 15 people were standing there.

"All the maids please line up" Kenta clapped his hands and 6 women stood in a line.

"This is the head maid, Sarah Miller, she is 23 years old and has a lot experience. Her other bosses say she is excellent"

I looked at her and smiled, she had blonde medium hair, blue eyes and white skin. She was also about 5"4.

"It's a pleasure to meet you my lady" she curtseyed.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too"

"There is currently only a little bit of work, please go and clean the bedrooms. Later we will get furniture and I will show you to your rooms" all the maids left.

"Now all the butlers line up"

Five butlers soon came and lined up. I greated them and they left.

"Now the remaining four, Aalia this is Akiyama Ise, she is currently 23 and she will be your stylist, not just with clothes, but also furniture and other things."

I looked at her and she was smiling widely. She had long, light brown hair with purple streaks, dark green eyes and tan skin. She also looked about 5"6.

"You are so cute!" She hugged me. I didn't care if people said servants can't hug you, I was going to be different and treat then like human beings.

"Now Akiyama, please head out to this store and buy some furniture" Kenta handed her a card.

"Oh you'll need this. Apparently there is no limit to my money, so buy whatever you think is best" she smiled and thanked me, then headed out.

"This is Elizabeth Yaning and she will be your chef, she is currently 20, but very skilled"

She had light purple Hair that went down to the middle of her back, brown eyes, and light tan skin. She also looked about 5"3.

I greated her, and looked at the next servant.

"This is Empleado Guillermo, he will be your gardener and he is 25 years old"

He had short green hair, light blue eyes, and tan skin. He was maybe 5"8.

(I realized that some people might take this as something racist, but trust me I wasn't trying to be. I wanted to make someone a gardener and i chose my brother and he likes Spanish names, so I hope no one gets offended)

There was now one servant left.

"Finally, this is Evelyn Martinez, she will be your make-up artist and seamstress. She is currently 17."

She had long black hair, brown eyes and caramel skin, she looked to be about 5"2.

"That's it my lady" he pulled out a pocket watch. "It's almost time for lunch" Kenta walked out the door.

"Where's Ryuuji? I haven't seen him all day" I walked outside and saw that Yumi and Junior were still swimming.

I sat down at the edge of the pool and Yumi swam to us.

"Hey Aalia"

"Hey. I have some things to tell you two"

"What is it?" Junior swam closer to us.

"A.T. told Kenta about our powers and he is fine with it. Also we have new servants, they don't know about our powers, but Kenta is going to do some tests to find out if they will be loyal, so until then try not to show them your powers."

"Sounds good to me" Yumi smiled.

"Me too" Junior said.

"By the way, have any of you seen Ryuuji?"

"Nope"

"Oh okay. Well, see you guys later" I got up and went to go look for him.

~30 minutes~

I decided to go up to the roof after I couldn't find him anywhere else.

And sure enough, there he was.

"Hey" I walked to him. There was a railing and he was leaning on it, I joined him.

I caught him up on all the things that had happened.

"So how do you like this place?" I asked him.

"I really like it, and I can tell you do too" he smiled at me.

We just stood there looking at the view.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Ryuuji come closer to me. He tucked my hair behind my ear and placed a flower in my hair. I couldn't help but blush at this.

He noticed me blush and slightly laughed, that made me feel embarrassed and I looked down. He placed his finger under my chin and lifted it up.

I felt my face turn even more red as he did that. He came closer to me, suddenly somone yelled "LUNCH TIME!" and Ryuuji let go of me.

"Come one, let's go and eat."

I felt downhearted, but I followed him back inside.
