Ecaterina’s lifeless body slowly sank towards the bottom. Her white hair floated around her face eerily and her clear complexion seemed pale and dull under water. The fabric of her dress moved and swayed, rippling slightly in the water currents. Her wings looked like a big black cloud under her, guiding her deeper and deeper down into the darkness as it was trying to stop her from ever reaching and seeing light again. And she continued to sink before someone suddenly grabbed hold of her, pulling her up towards the water surface. Unaware of what was happening Ecaterina’s light body was bobbing up and down in the water as her savior held on to her, struggling to get both of them to the riverside they were instead swept away and plummeted down the waterfall.

She was cold. Even unconscious Ecaterina was cold as she was lying on the ground completely soaked from the unintentional swim and near death experience. It took time but finally she stirred and groaned softly, trying to breathe but instead ended coughing and choking loudly. Turning to her side Ecaterina spit out water that had filled her lungs and she weakly lied like that for a moment with closed eyes, trying to understand what had happened. The last thing she could remember was the piglet… and the boar! Yes! The boar +__+ The wild boar did this! The white haired girl was too weak now but she would later on suddenly feel cravings for some wild meat BBQ.

“Ugnh…” moaning weakly Ecaterina repositioned herself slightly to lie on her back. She was frowning before opening up one eye first, just to get a blurry idea of where she was, and then opened up the other to stare up at the now dark sky studded with twinkling stars. Groaning once again, feeling soar all over after unknowingly have been tumbling down a waterfall and hurled around under water. Tilting her side a little she caught sight of someone she actually recognized and croaked weakly “Y- you..?”

"Oh, ah... hi there?" He said, raising a hand and giving a small feeble wave at the stirring girl in black. Not exactly sure what he was supposed to do now that she's up. If only he could actually remember what he was doing before he could probably come up with something to strike a conversation about... keeping silent made the situation feel kinda awkward. "Eh... so... how are you doing?" He continued at an attempt to get the atmosphere to something more cheerful. Or so he hoped.

What? That's it? Lame.

Well what else could he say or do? Unless she starts beating him up again like he actually expected her to do at the moment for a reason he couldn't remember.

Groaning more as she slowly sat up Ecaterina stared at her former servant with a hand pressed against her temple. Her usually stylish hair was damp and hanging straight down with her bangs glued to her forehead, she was looking pale instead of beautifully fair and her lips had a blue-ish tint to them. Wrapping trembling arms around her delicate frame she tried to puzzle the pieces together but it was hard. She was shaking from the cold, her body was sore and her mind all hazy and pounding with a headache, not to mention that the critter was just staring at her which did not make things better.

She opened her mouth to answer his incredibly stupid question with an insult but instead a croaking sound came out and Ecaterina started to cough. Pulling her knees up and leaning forward she rested her head on them with a groan, “T- terr- ible…” she finally managed to reply with a broken voice. She didn’t have enough energy to act like a bitch. “What ha-“ she swallowed hard, it was hard to speak and her throat was sore, “What happened? Why a- are you here?” He must have come out of nowhere because as far as she knew she had been alone.

Ecaterina didn’t think nor could she imagine that her former servant had jumped into the water after her, because obviously she must have fallen in; she was soaking wet… but so was he... Had he saved her?

"Ah... well..." Rei scratched his head at the question, looking around slightly in nervousness as he tried to find any real reason as to why he was even here in the first place. Wait, it wasn't really that hard of a question to answer, right? "I was... kinda looking for you," He said, folding his arm and nodded as though satisfied at the simple answer that he apparently had to think hard to come up with (remember). "Mhmm, totally just looking for you. Though I didn't expect to have to come to the rescue," Or at least... that's how the story went according to the green and white girl. He couldn't remember anything prior to this.

Some might think, why would he go through the trouble to save her? We all know from history and experience how terrible she was to her (forced and blackmailed) servant, beating him up at moment's notice, beating him up and blaming him for stuff that didn't go her way even if it totally had nothing to do with him, beating him up some more just for the heck of it, nothing good, yes?

But then again, he really shouldn't even be here if that was the case, really. He's here because... she's here? That's one helluva weak reasoning, but that's that. Really. "I'm still your servant right? A servant can't just let his mistress be in danger like that,"

Even in her head hadn’t been pounding, even if her whole body hadn’t been sore and even if she hadn’t been shaking from the cold Ecaterina would still have stared at the critter with the same expression as now; totally stupefied. Was he serious? After the beating he had gone through, the insults and constant mistreatment he had come looking for her? And instead of letting her drown he had saved her, not to mention that he still wanted to be her servant. And how had he even known she would be here?

“You are trying to make a mockery out of me, aren't yout?” Ecaterina said with a cracked voice but the indignant tone could still be heard. There was no way he still wanted to be her servant again, only an insane person would even consider it or perhaps a masochist, and so she figured that he was trying to make fun of her and wait for her to accept him only to disobey her and revolt once again. I am not foolish enough to fall for his trick, she thought as she eyed the critter suspiciously. Or maybe he really was a masochist and enjoyed the pain. In that case, to be honest, she wouldn’t have a problem taking him back; if you hadn’t noticed yet Ecaterina enjoyed being cruel.

"...What are you talking about?" He said, tilting his head and eying her with perplexity. Either he really was insane or masochistic, or he's just so darn nice or just wanted to be with her that much that he really doesn't care for whatever she had done to him. Well, all of it, really (except for the masochistic part). Plus the fact that he couldn't remember the bunny suit incident whatsoever helped. She doesn't know that though. Probably. "I wouldn't jump into a river to save a sadistic girl in black then get thrown off a waterfall just to mock her," You can't deny it. There's common sense in that. Why would he do something so dangerously fatal just to have shits and giggles at her?

Without saying anything else he turned around on the spot, shifting his position so that he was sitting seiza style and facing her. He stared at her for a moment with a serious expression on his face before suddenly, "If there's anything that I may have done to hurt you I apologize greatly for it," bowing down to her, his hand on the ground with his body leaning forward, his head just mere centimeters from the ground.

Either he's really insane, or he really wanted to be her servant, despite all the mistreatment he may receive later on. Which... really could only translate as him being really insane. Or something. Whatever.

Wide eyed she stared at the critters bowing frame unable to believe that it was a part of reality and not some odd choice of hallucination. But yes, this only confirmed earlier suspicion; he was utterly insane and probably liked feeling pain. Although, Ecaterina couldn’t deny that she appreciated his submissiveness and the fact that he was apologizing. Well, he was thinking a little too highly about himself since he hadn’t ‘hurt’ her per se, but he had been ignorant and rebelled against her orders and in that way hurt her integrity a little.

“Very well then,” Ecaterina finally said to the bowing critter, “You can resume your services as of now.” She had tried to go for a haughty and superior tone but with her raspy and somewhat weak voice it kind of ended up sounding vulnerable and almost like she was grateful for him coming back to her. She wasn’t of course but she decided to make the small effort of being aware that the boy drew the line when it came to extreme public humiliation. She wouldn’t stop with it but at least no go that far again, at least the boy had learned his lesson and was now begging to come back, or at least that was how Ecaterina saw it.

She waited for the bo- … The boy. Suddenly Ecaterina realized that she didn’t even know her servant’s name; she had so far refered to him only by using demeaning names. She had asked for it during their first meeting but he had been disgraceful enough to leave it unanswered. “Sit up, critter, and state your name,” she tried to fix him with a stern gaze but it was useless, she was just too out of her zone after being attacked by a wild boar, hitting her head on a stone and plummeting down into the river and almost drowning. “I am Ecaterina Ichijo. To you it will be Miss Ichijo or Master.”

"Yes, Ichijou-sama," He sat up, the serious expression on his face unfaltering as he set his hands on his lap, keeping his eyes on her as though waiting for her next absolute order. You couldn't tell whether he was happy or neutral about this but one thing's for sure. He surely did not oppose of it and he certainly looked enthusiastic enough. You just can't tell how the mind of the psychic photographer worked.

"Reika Nagori. You can call me anything you deem fit," He said, finally saying his name with a slight bow. "A pleasure and honor to be of service," Like a true servant, low and humble, patiently waiting for an order to be followed.

Just as long as it's not something outrageous again like wearing a bunny suit.

Ecaterina’s jaw dropped “Reika? Are you a girl?!” She eyed this ‘lovely petal’ from head to toe trying to distinguish female features, but except for his little ponytail and not really having a ‘manly’ body build she couldn’t notice anything. She wasn’t sure how to cope with this news, firstly he was hiding it quite well but as she thought more about it maybe it wasn’t so bad after all. If her servant was female then that meant that he could assist and enter where males could not, such as in a bath house or changing rooms while shopping. Ecaterina nodded and said calmly “I accept that.” She made it sound like his gender depended on what she said it was.

“Now then… Servant, take me home.”
Her head was still pounding and she had a swelling at the back of her head where she had made impact with the stone, on top of that she was cold and tired and just wanted to take a warm shower and then relax in front of a gory movie. Ecaterina pushed herself off the ground to stand up, well, or so she thought. She had barely gotten up on her feet in a crouching position before her knees gave up under her and she collapsed like a rag doll. Letting out a frustrated huff she look at her servant and commanded him to help her up, “Do not think that you can dismiss the rule after this. I will allow you to touch me only this one time so do not get any foolish ideas, critter. Or you shall be punished.”

"...A girl?" Geh, dammit, not another one. Why must everyone ALWAYS assume firsthand that he's a girl upon hearing his name? Really though, he'd heard of it enough times to not care much about it anymore. So in the end he simply replied with a sigh.

Besides, he really can't tell her off for mistaking him as a girl when she's like this now can he? The girl could barely stand up at that point and... what's a servant to do? Nodding obediently with a smile he got to his feet, still surprisingly strong despite the fact that he had also fell down the waterfall. Or maybe she's just weak. Who knows. He walked over in front of her, crouching low to his knees as he turned around so that his back was facing her. "Ride back home coming right up,"

She stared at her servants back for a moment before turning her head to the side lifting her nose in the air ”Cheeh...” She hated that she couldn’t do anything to help herself at the moment and that this critter was going to touch her, but there honestly wasn’t any other alternative for her. If she tried flying in this weakened state she would probably not come that far at all due to the exhaustion or end up falling from the sky from a dizzy spell.

Still with her nose in the air Ecaterina finally moved closer to her servant, although she was doing it very slowly and with a facial expression that spoke of distaste. Her aching body and pounding head added a painful look to her face and to anyone it would be obvious that she really didn’t enjoy this. She lifted her arms, groaned softly from that small effort as her muscles protested, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Between gritted teeth Ecaterina commanded, “Hurry up now. Get me back to my quarters quickly, servant.” She leaned her head back and frowned eyeing the back of his head disgustedly, “I do not wish to be in such close proximity to peasants longer than absolutely necessary, let alone filthy ones, and you are already pushing my boundaries.” Then she unexpectedly swat the back of his head, perhaps a little harder than necessary but at least she got the nasty leaf or algae from his hair and away from her face.

On their way back Reika got a couple of more slaps, first when he got up on his feet to fast and made her feel lightheaded and disoriented, then on their way back to the school he got a couple of slaps when he wasn’t gentle enough while carrying her but also when he was walking too slow. It seemed like there was no pleasing her. Although when they finally came back to the school and the dorms and Rei set Ecaterina down she met his eyes for a moment before saying straightforwardly with a strong voice, “Thank you for saving my life, critter.” And with that she turned on her heel and walked to her room after looking over her shoulder saying “I shall see you tomorrow, good night.”


** Bound-together rose sparkle blue sky anime backdrop **


The end.
