Chapter 1: You've gotta be Shitting me!

Author's Note Part 1: Alright, Re-writing this now. After reading a comment, which I wasn't sure if it was a flame or not but I'll take it as constructive criticism, I realized that there were a few things that were far-fetched about my last version. So, I'd like to thank Dead Pann for pointing out my flaws. It's thanks to you that I've re-written this to be, hopefully, more "realistic". Anyways, many, many changes were put into this, as you can tell by reading the summary. But enough of the Author's Note, on to the actual story!

Jack's POV:

Alright, hey there! Name's Jack, or Shadow if you'd prefer my alias, and I'm the protector of this fair city. Now when I say that, you'd assume that I'm either a police officer or firefighter. Probably someone in his twenty's or thirty's, right? Wrong.

I'm only seventeen. Now, since I've told you that, you're probably wondering, "Why is this kid protecting the city he lives in? Isn't that the authority's job?" Well normally, you'd be right. Except that my city is home to a handful of gangs that the authorities can't take care of. Or at least, it was.

Now, it's down to the last gang. And all thanks to good old Shadow. Most gangs don't think anything of a teenager. And normally, they'd be right to do so. Although, when it comes to me, they should put more thought into a teenager. But, enough info on me, let's get to the actual good part. The part where I meet one of said gang members, and kick some ass!

"Damn it. Can't the bad guys ever just give up?" I mutter to myself as I run along the rooftops of the shopping district after a burly looking man holding onto a woman's purse. "And he had to do the most cliché robbery too. Snatching the purse from the old ladies hands as he runs by her. Tsk, tsk." I berate the man as I leap the space between two buildings, and then slide under a holographic sign.

Oh yeah, I probably should have mentioned this. The year is 2076. Yeah. Turns out that even 65 years later it isn't much better than 2014 when my grandfather was alive. The only real difference is that technology has advanced. Unfortunately, this means that criminals also have advanced technology. One example might be how the guy I'm chasing suddenly runs up the wall onto the roof of one of the shops. Which are a good three to four stories tall in this part of the city.

Damn. This guy has anti-grav boots. I realize as I run towards the edge of the building I'm currently running across, and then jump onto the next roof over. Slowly closing in on the perpetrator. I continue to run across roofs, following the man, until he jumps down into a space between two buildings. I look down to see that he's just standing there looking up at me. I jump down from the roof and land in front of the man without a scratch thanks to my shock resistant combat boots.

Now that I get a better look at the man, I notice that he looks like a lot of the other men that I've been chasing after for the past few weeks. He even has the fist coated in blood emblem on the front of his black jacket. "Oh you've got to be kidding me." I say, throwing my hands into the air for emphasis. "Another one of these 'Time to teach you a lesson' run-in's. So, are you alone? Or did you bring friends?" I ask the man. The guy chuckles and throws aside the purse that he'd snatched.

"Oh, I've brought friends alright." He replies, and then snaps his fingers, causing multiple piles of garbage to explode outwards and reveal men holding onto many different versions of weaponry. They range from lead pipes to plasma pistols. I just sigh and shake my head as they encircle me.

"How many times has this happened now? And how many times has it ended with me showing your gang a lesson?" I ask the group rhetorically, before running towards one of the guys. He tries to swing his lead pipe at my head, but I duck under it and punch him in the stomach. He bends over in surprise at the strike, and I use my other hand to push his head down even more, before bringing my knee up to meet with his forehead.

When this happens, he falls onto his back and drops the lead pipe as he's knocked out. As soon as the lead pipe is out of his hands, I jump to the side and a plasma blast goes past me where my head was positioned a few seconds ago and impacts the wall, leaving a black scorch mark on the bricks of one of the two buildings on either side of our little scuffle.

I turn around quickly and run towards the spot that it came from, seeing another goon holding a plasma pistol. I try the same tactic that I did on the first guy, but he sees it coming and backs up quickly. Then, he brings up the plasma pistol as if to shoot me, but I duck under it, spin, and reverse heel kick it out of the guy's grip, before I punch him in the face, knocking him out.

As he falls towards backwards, I run forwards, jump, and use his chest as a springboard to grab onto some bricks jutting out of the wall of the alleyway behind him. I push off said wall and use the momentum to kick another goon's face. I continue to press my foot into his face as he falls backwards, allowing me to push his head into the ground when he lands on the ground, successfully knocking him out of the fight. Then I jump off him and rush towards two other gang members.

One of them tries to swing at me with a crowbar he has, while the other swings an iron bar towards my head. In response, I duck under their attacks, and punch both of them in the stomach, and then give one of them an uppercut that will leave him seeing starts for a few minutes, before I spin and reverse roundhouse the other. Finally, after the rest of the gang is taken care of, I turn around and face the leader.

"Fuck!" I yell out in surprise and anger as I'm forced to dodge roll out of the way of a string of plasma blasts by the guy's automatic plasma rifle. He laughs like a maniac as I'm forced to constantly dodge the plasma blasts. Finally, the plasma rifle overheats, and the maniac is forced to drop it with a string of cusses, just before I shut him up with a fist to the face, knocking him out cold.

I place an anonymous call to the authorities, before picking up the purse and making my way back to the old lady along the rooftops. Listening to the sounds of sirens echoing through the city on their way to pick up another gang of thugs. When I make it back to the lady in question, the cops are there questioning her. Instead of revealing myself, I take the purse, and drop it from the roof so that it'll land on the policeman's car. Then, before they can see me, I slip away from the scene.

24 Hours Later:

The day after the run in with the small gang, I'm sitting in my room in the orphanage that I live at. Yes, I'm an orphan. Yes, I protect the city that I live in. No, I'm obviously not rich. But the orphanage does have a butler named Alfred. And he's very well versed in the ways of sarcasm.

Actually, I learned most of my banter and sarcasm from him. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to use it that much yesterday. Anyways, the layout of my room isn't very important. Just know that there's a bed, desk, window… You know, usual room stuff. (Yes, a reference to Soos from Gravity Falls when he's talking about his boat.)

Currently, I'm dressed in my casual clothes. That consists of a black leather jacket over a red T-shirt, blue jeans that are held up by a black belt, and black combat boots that reach up to my mid-calf, and partially cover my jeans. My hair is raven black, and my eyes are cobalt. At the moment, I'm tinkering with a couple new inventions of mine.

Now, in reality, I didn't invent them. Instead, I'm pretty much bringing some things from a video game and a movie to life, only with advanced technology added. As I finish them, my computer finishes loading up the page that I wanted. I click the play button, just as I place my new inventions in my bag, along with most of my other stuff. Including my outfit for when I become "Shadow". As the video I clicked on starts playing, I realize just what an impact catching the thugs yesterday has done to the city.

A female newscaster can be seen in front of a screen that shows that thugs that I'd taken out the day before in a prison cell. "-And it would seem that the last criminal gang in our fair town known as the "Bloody Fists" Has finally been taken down thanks to the town's own vigilante, "Shadow". Thanks to this figure, the men you see behind me were brought in for questioning, and revealed to the police their hideout." When she says this, my eyebrows raise, since I didn't think that taking them out would be that easy.

However, I shake the surprise off and continue to listen as the newscaster continues to talk. "But now that this has happened and all the gangs have been brought to justice, the question still remains. What will Shadow do now?" I smile slightly as I close the newscast, and start up the second episode of an anime I'd started watching recently. Said anime being fairly old, but apparently good none-the-less. But then I frowned as I realized that the newscaster was right when she asked her last question.

What will I do now? I think to myself. I continue to ponder this question, just before a bright red flash engulfs the room. I quickly turn to face were it originated from, jump from my chair, and get into a fighting stance. Ready in case someone has managed to invent teleportation technology, and freed someone from prison so they could enact their revenge upon me for putting them there in the first place… Yeah, overdramatic, but still plausible.

However, instead of seeing some criminal, instead I find a glowing, red portal in the middle of my room. I pull my backpack closer to me just in case, before cautiously making my way towards it. I reach out to test its reaction to being touched, and when my finger makes contact it ripples as if it were made of water.

Now, you'd think that after a few years protecting my city, I'd be smart enough to leave it at that. But no~~~~, human instincts take over at this point. Curious, I reach out to touch it again… Only for it to reach out and swallow my hand.

I try to pull away from it, but it just opens up and starts to pull me in further with an unknown force. When this happens, I turn around to try and grab something, only for there to be nothing to grab since I'm currently standing in the middle of my room. Just before I'm pulled in completely, I see something on my computer screen. The screen was showing the second episode of "Familiar of Zero", and currently, Saito was being pulled by… The same portal that was in the middle of my room. The only difference is that the one he's being pulled into is green.

Wait a minute, does that mean-?! I don't get to finish my thought, because I'm pulled completely into the portal in the next second. When it closes, I'm left in a void where there's nothing but black surrounding me. I sling my backpack onto my back to make sure it doesn't go floating off, just before I realize that a noise is resounding around the blackness. I try to focus on it, but the only thing that I'm able to tell is that it sounds like a kind of chant. Before I can think of anything else, there's a bright flash, and the pitch black is replaced by light, and then, by pain.

It takes a few seconds for me to break out of my pained daze, but when I do, I'm only able to let out a groan. After a few more seconds, the ringing in my ears stops, and my hearing returns. When this happens, I'm able to make out the sounds of murmuring.

Oh you've got to be shitting me. I think to myself, letting out a louder groan of pain, before pushing myself up from the ground. As I blink the sun out of my eyes, I can hear the murmuring stop, and instead be replaced by silence. When I'm finally able to see, and my vision isn't blurry, I'm able to make out multiple people, who are all wearing the same type of outfit.

But not just any outfit. Oh, no. These outfits are for a certain school. A school that shouldn't even exist. And when I realize that, I voice my earlier thought for all to hear. "You've got to be shitting me!" I exclaim, making all the people around me jump back.

Once they get over that little fright, they start to mutter amongst themselves again. As I'm trying to get my bearings, I realize something. The people groups of people are not only sending glances at me, but at two certain red haired and pink haired girls as well.

When I notice this, I look around and see another person to my right. This person just happens to be… "Saito." I mutter. To say I'm surprised is an understatement. When I saw the portal, I was thinking that I might have been sent here as a familiar to Louise, or for the red color to signify that it would lead to a completely different universe. But no. Saito was summoned for Louise, while I was summoned for… Kirche.

My brain freezes when it realizes this, and I can just make out Saito trying to crawl away before Louise pulls him back. I manage to push myself to my feet as Louise looks at Saito with a scowl after talking to Mr. Colbert, if I remember his name correctly, while Kirche simply walks over to me and smirks while eyeing me. I mentally roll my eyes at that.

Most likely she said something that denounced Saito, while making me seem all powerful or something. I think, before realizing the look that she was giving me. It also seems that she likes what she sees… Right, like I'm gonna fall for her. She's a fucking bully to Louise! Although… Maybe… I think, eyeing her, before snapping out of it just before the two girls in question begin chanting while waving their wands.

I guess I could try dating her… If she actually has a nice side to her and I can find a way to break her habit of denouncing everyone that is. I think, just before they finish and the two lean forwards to finish the ritual. While Louise seems like she wants it to be over quickly, Kirche does so slowly. For me, I'd have to say it's the greatest first kiss in existence, that doesn't include tongue. Though I doubt that's the case for Kirche. But for me… Yeah. Let's just say Kirche's a fucking good kisser.

After she pulls back, she continues to eye me while licking her lips. Well, it's definitely different than the looks I got back at the orphanage, that's for sure. I manage to think, just before I feel the Familiar runes being etched into me. The only difference from the anime… They aren't on the back of my left hand.

Instead, they appear on my right forearm, just above my wrist. As opposed to Saito, who promptly passes out from the pain a few seconds later, I stand there gripping the spot in pain. After a few seconds it gets worse, so I quickly reach into my backpack, pull out an ice-pack, and placing it on the burning runes. But this just seems to make them burn hotter, and change slightly. I grimace at the pain, but manage to pull through.

Once that's done, I take a few calming breaths, before opening my eyes. When I do, I notice that the crowd of students are still around us. I sigh, before asking the question that will tell me if what I think is happening is, well, happening. "Would someone please tell me what's going on here?" I ask them. I hear a few surprised gasps from the crowd, as if they didn't expect that I was able to talk. What are they? Idiots?

"You're at the Tristain Academy young man." I turn and see that it was Mr. Colbert who answered. I just look at him with a blank face.

"Where?" I ask him. His eyes go wide when I ask this.

"You don't know of the Academy?" He asks. I shake my head, before looking around.

"Nope. And I've gotta say, magic? Well, I'm definitely not in Kansas anymore." I say, still acting as if I have no idea where I am, or what's going on.

"What is this "Kansas" you speak of?" Mr. Colbert asks. I just turn to face him.

"You know, where I come from, you don't tell anyone a lot about yourself until you've learned that you can trust that person. So… There's not much for me to tell you at the moment since I've only just met you. The only thing I will tell you is that my name is Jack." I tell him with a shrug, He seems surprised, but straightens out.

"Well then I suppose that I shall just have to earn your trust." He states, before turning towards the rest of the class. "Alright, the summoning ceremony is over. You may all return to your rooms now." He tells them. The rest of the students start to fly, yes fly, away. However, Tabitha stays behind and continues to look at me in a way that reminds me of Raven from the Teen Titans… Which makes me think that maybe she has an idea of what actually happened to me. I simply nod to her, getting one back, before she flies away after the others. Once everyone's left, I turn and look at Kirche.

"So… I don't suppose you can explain to me what's going on?" I ask her. She simply continues to stare at me for a few seconds, before walking towards one of the towers. I take that as a sign to follow her, and do just that.

Once we've made it to her room, she closes the door behind us, and turns to face me. "So, I've summoned a commoner as my familiar." She mutters, almost to herself, before walking towards me a placing a finger on my chest and moving it in circles. "Granted, you are a very handsome looking one." She continues with a sly smirk. I cough into my hand, knowing without a doubt that there's a blush growing on my cheeks.

"~Ehem~, H-hey, do you think you could explain the whole, "Magic" thing to me? See, where I come from, we… Don't really have it." I explain to her. She stops tracing circles on my chest when I ask that, before smiling.

"Oh, of course. Where are my manners?" She asks, before walking past me and sitting on her bed, motioning for me to do the same. I do so, but with an ever growing blush. As we sit there, Kirche goes on to tell me her name, explain the magic in this world, explain how the ranking system works, explain the five different regions, or countries I guess, and the Familiar "terms and agreements", as I like to call them.

It's a good thing that I already know most of this thanks to the anime, because with Kirche rubbing her hand on my lap through the whole thing, as well as leaning into my arm with her breasts, I have a hard time paying attention to what she's saying. That is, until I remember something from the anime that snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Say, Kirche. Who was that Pink haired girl from earlier?" I ask her, thankful that she had told me her name at the start, that way I wouldn't have to awkwardly ask for it now.

"Oh, that was simply Louise the Zero." She tells me with a wave of her hand. I raise my eyebrow, still acting as if I have to clue about her.

"Zero?" I ask her.

"Oh, yes. You see, Louise has zero magical success, and…" She trails off before pushing my arms between her breasts a bit more. "Zero sex appeal." She says in a purr. I would probably blush furiously at this, but what's going through my mind at the moment manages to overtake it.

"So, you're saying that the students here gave her a "title", that was utterly demeaning to her?" I ask her with annoyance in my voice.

"Well, not necessarily. You see, her title tells the truth. Since she's yet to perform a spell correctly, she has been given a title that fits her. All mages are given a title based on truth." Kirche explains. I pretend to think for a few seconds.

"But then if that was true… Then how did she summon that other guy?" I ask her, having to remind myself not to say Saito's name before he tells me his own. I have to remember not to tell all these mages "Hey, I come from a universe where you're all nothing but fiction! Isn't that great?!"

Kirche seems to pause and think about this for a moment. When she can't come up with a response, I nod my head. "So, this is the first spell that she's gotten right? Then she no longer has zero magical success." I explain. Kirche seems to think about this again.

"You're right." She finally admits. At this, I nod, before getting down to business.

"Alright. So, now that everything's been explained. I guess I should start my job of protecting you, huh?" I ask, standing up from the bed.

"Oh? And how do you plan on doing that?" She asks me. I turn around to face her.

"Well, where I come from, we have ways of telling everything that's going on in a certain place, without having to be there specifically. I tell her, getting wide eyes in response. "So, all I really need is my bag," I tell her, grabbing the bag in question, "And to go outside. I should be back here within an hour." I tell her, waving over my shoulder as I leave.

When I get outside, I shrug off my backpack, and take out a jar filled with small metal disks. I take the time to notice that the moons, yes plural, as in two of them, are rising in the sky as I empty the jar onto the grass in the courtyard, before watching as the disks unfold to show micro-bots with four pointed legs, and a single, red cylindrical eye attached to the front of the disk part by an extendable, and bendable, metal neck.

Once all the micro-bots are activated I take another object out of my backpack, and tighten it around my left forearm. It's a black, metal gauntlet that has a flip-open screen on it. I activate the screen, and type in a command for the micro-bots, causing them to immediately scuttle off and get to work.

As they head off to do their job, I take out another gauntlet from my backpack. The only differences between this one and the last one is that there's no screen on this gauntlet, and that this one is a bit bulkier, with two holes in rectangular shapes cut into the metal above my wrist, the one of the shorter sides right above my wrist, with the longer sides perpendicular to it. (For those of you who have read this before and noticed the changes, I'll explain them a little bit at the end of the chapter.)

I make sure that both gauntlets are securely fastened to my forearms, the right one just happening to cover my runes, and type in another few commands for the micro-bots on the screen on my left gauntlet. While I wait for the micro-bots to finish their orders, I take a jog around the Academy's outer wall to not only see what defenses, if any, it has. But to also give myself a bit of a workout.

Seeing as they have magic in place of machines in this dimension, I'm going to assume that there isn't much heavy lifting that's done, and thus, no gyms. By the time I've finished my makeshift workout routine, the micro-bots have finished with their orders. When I see this, I order them to return back to the jar and shut down, and they do so. Once that's done, I head back into the Academy and walk up the stairs. Passing by Guiche and Katie on the way up.

When I finally reach Kirche's room, I get ready to knock on the door before entering. Woe to any man who walks in on a woman changing without their consent. Although, I have a feeling Kirche wouldn't mind as much as other girls. I think to myself with a sweatdrop. And what makes the fact that I'm here slightly more freaky is that I can actually feel the larger-than-life sweatdrop. But that makes me stop to think about what it means.

If Anime Physics work here… I so want to have shark teeth at one point. I think with a grin, before shaking it away and raising my hand to knock again. Unfortunately, before I can knock on the door I hear a voice from down the hall. I turn, and see that Saito's currently running away from an open door, with Louise running out of the doorway and following him a few seconds later.

As Saito passes me, Anime Physics allows time to slow down slightly, and he sends me a questioning glance, to which I just shrug in response. "It won't do much good! There are two moons! Not one!" I yell after him. But he doesn't seem to hear me as he runs down the stairs. A few seconds later, Louise stops in front of me and growls with anger clear on her face.

"You! Help me catch my familiar!" She yells at me, making me sigh in response.

"Listen Louise. I would love to. But, I have a feeling that once he sees the sky like I did, he won't be running much longer." I tell her with a shrug. "So you don't really need my help." I continue, getting a confused look in response, before she scowls and continues to run after Saito. I just sigh, before turning around, and finally knocking on Kirche's door.

"Who is it?" I hear her ask from the other side of the door.

"It's Jack. Your… Familiar." I respond.

"Oh, Come on in then, Jack." She responds. Though her voice sounds different than when she was talking earlier. I get the answer to my unasked question as to why that is when I turn around to face the room after closing her door. As opposed to earlier when the sun was setting and everything was lit up for everything to be seen, now, the moons shine through the window, and different candles are lit all about the room. And standing in the center of said room… Is Kirche.

However, she isn't dressed like earlier. Oh, no. Instead, she's wearing a purple, see-through night shirt that's tied together by a bow in the middle of her breasts, while everything else is open. The only other clothing she's wearing is purple lingerie, and thus is showing off almost every other piece of skin. From her long, red hair covering one of her brown eyes down to her toes.

Because of this, I end up with a dark red blush in my cheeks and a stiff feeling in my pants. And the unfortunate part? Kirche seems to notice all this. "So… Jack." She starts, sauntering over to me with an almost intoxicating sway to her hips. "Do you like it?" She asks as she places a hand on my cheek with a smirk present on her face. At the moment, I don't have the ability to respond. Luckily, or rather, unluckily, I'm saved from my predicament by a voice at the window.

"Kirche!" We both turn to look and see a man floating right outside her window. He's wearing a purple cloak, as opposed to the black one that Louise and Kirche wear, has brown hair, and hazel eyes. What I don't realize a that moment, is that him shouting out her name not only helps me out of my predicament, but will help Kirche with one of her own problems within a few minutes.

"Styx? What are you doing here?" Kirche asks. As those two start talking about why the guy, Styx, is here, I think about something.

Oh yeah, that's right. Kirche is the girl in this school who uses her looks to get what she wants. I think, sending a slight glare at Kirche when I remember this… That is, until I notice the look in her eyes as Styx eyes her breasts with a perverted grin. Wait a minute… Is she… Uncomfortable? I think incredulously, before realizing that she is.

Whoa. Guess first impressions aren't everything. Especially from an anime. Ugh, and now I've gotta get this guy to leave her alone because I'm Kirche's familiar and it's my "job", since she's trying to get him to leave. I think to myself, before thinking about it. Then again, Saito got an explosion to the face a few minutes ago. So I guess that my life is already better than his. I think with a sweatdrop, before shaking it off and walking forwards.

During the time the two were talking, Styx had levitated himself into the room. "Alright dude, listen to me and listen well. If Kirche doesn't want to see you tonight, then deal with it." I tell him, much to the shock of the two.

"What did you say? You are a mere familiar! I will not be spoken to in such a manner by some commoner piece of trash!" Styx exclaims, before pulling out his wand. But before he can do anything, my brain goes into defensive mode thanks to the many years of defending my city. I quickly dive forwards, and then roll along the ground before pushing upwards off said ground with my hands and kicking the guy's wand across the room. Then, after kicking his wand away, I flip while I'm still in the air so that I land on my feet, before grabbing his wrist and throwing him over my shoulder onto the ground. Making sure to put my foot on his shoulder.

"Now, are you gonna give up? Or do I need to dislocate your arm to make a point?" I ask him with a glare and a scowl. He just stares up at me with wide eyes, shaking in fear and probably seconds away from pissing himself. I stay there for a few seconds, before putting a little force onto his shoulder as I pull on his arms slightly to get my point across.

"Aright! Alright!" He yells out, prompting me to let go and let him stand up. Once I do, he pushes himself to his feet, before running, grabbing his wand as he goes, and then continues to run out of the room. I walk over and close the door behind him, before turning around to see a shocked Kirche staring at me. I just sigh at the sight as I shake my head slightly, and then look at her again.

"Kirche. Why did you see that guy?" I ask her. She blinks, before answering.

"Well, it's because…" She trails off, probably not entirely sure why it was that she was seeing him in the first place. I just sigh at her answer, before walking over and sitting on her bed.

"Listen. I could tell that you were uncomfortable around him. So that's why I asked." I tell her, getting wide eyes in response.

"But, how could you tell?" She asks. I just give her a smirk in response.

"With what I was doing before you summoned me, I learned a few things here and there." I tell her in response. She blinks, before walking over to the bed and sitting beside me.

"Oh, and what did you do before I summoned you?" She asks, a glint appearing in her eyes as she asks. I feel a blush creep into my cheeks, but try my best to ignore it for now. Maybe I can actually get to know the real Kirche tonight. As opposed to the one that sees multiple guys for some unknown reason in the anime… At least, unknown to me since I'd only seen the first episode. That aside though, I have a feeling that the flirtatious and forward part of Kirche is pretty accurate…

SpongeBob Narrator: One Explanation Later…

When I finish telling Kirche my story, her mouth is wide open in shock. It takes a few minutes, but slowly, her mouth closes into a smirk. "So the familiar I summoned was actually a hero to the town he lived in before he was summoned." She says. I just nod in response, and then think about something.

"Say, Kirche." I begin, "That Styx guy. Is he the only guy that treats you like that?" I ask. When I ask her this, her smirk changes into a frown.

"Unfortunately not. You see, here at the Academy, all the men want me. But they don't want me." She tells me, before going on to explain about how the men at school only try to get with her due to her looks, which prompts a blush from me and smirk from Kirche when she saw said blush, or they want her for her family's wealth.

When I ask about her family, I listen to her tell me about how her father had tried setting her up with a man a decade older than her, getting a shudder from me, before she then goes on to explain how she's trying to find a guy in the school who wouldn't want her completely for the reasons from earlier. She would be fine if they admired those attributes about her, but she didn't want them to only want her as a "money-maker", or "piece of meat".

Finally, after a few hours of just chatting about our lives, and getting to know one another better, I take a look at the screen on my left gauntlet, and notice the time. "Whoa! It's already past midnight!" I exclaim, before turning to Kirche. "So, um, where exactly am I going to sleep?" I ask her. She seems to think about that.

"Well, I didn't exactly expect to get a human as my Familiar…" She trails off, looking at a hay bed off in the corner of her room and causing me to sweatdrop for the third time tonight. "So… I suppose that you'll just have to sleep in bed with me." She tells me, making my face turn into a replica of a tomato.

"W-w-what?" I stutter out. She notices my red face, and smiles coyly.

"What? Is there anything wrong with that?" She asks, pushing my arm between her breasts. At this, I'm sure that all the blood from the rest of my body has rushed up to my head… And another region. She just smiles and chuckles when she notices. Although, it still has that seductive tone to it. "It's alright. I won't bite." She tells me, before leaning in close to my ear. "Unless that is… You want me to." She whispers. At that, my brain finally decides that it can't take anymore at the moment, and I pass out.

Kirche's POV:

I look down at the familiar that I had summoned earlier today, still smirking at what had just occurred. He's not like the other men here. I think to myself, remembering how instead of try to flatter me into liking him so that he could get into my bed, he'd simply talked, and listened as I told him about myself. Oh yes. I think with a smirk. He's much different. I think, eyeing his chest and the muscles that were slightly visible through the shirt he's wearing.

Since magic was used for a majority of things in this world, most mages are either scrawny, or overweight. But Jack, he didn't use magic, so he has actual muscles. That's just an added bonus to his personality. I think, smirk at that fact, before finally lying down in the bed beside him. thinking that maybe I had finally found a man that would treat me as an actual person, and not a piece of meat or a way to get money.

Author's Note Part 2: Alright! So I've started writing this Fanfiction again! Why? Because I've decided that I wanted to. That's why. Now, for those of you re-reading this and wondering "Why is Jack Kirche's familiar and not Louise's?" Well, the answers to that are pretty simple. One, I wanted to change it up a little since as far as I know, there's only one OC story out there with an OC being Kirche's familiar. So I wanted to take a crack at it. Another reason? Since in my other FOZ story (Which I may or may not start Re-writing again soon) I have John being summoned as Louise's familiar. So, John will most likely be paired with Louise and in this one, Jack will be paired with Kirche while Saito is paired with Louise.

Another couple reasons are that in the only story with an OC as Kirche's familiar, the OC is part of a harem. I myself am not a fan of harems. I believe that marriages and relationships and the like should be between two people. No more than that. (At least, that's my own personal belief) Another reason? Because with Jack here along with Saito, he'll be able to help Saito understand the magical world better, instead of just blowing it off like Saito does in the anime. Also, there are now two people who can understand the other's references to earth and all earthly related things! So expect references to many things!

Now, for those of you who read down to here, and didn't just stop as soon as you read the summary about the changes, thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this, and see you next time!

(Updated July 22nd, 2015: Well guys… I'm back! Now, I know that it's been around nine months since I last updated this, and I just have to say that I'm sorry for that. However, I've finally returned to this story, and will hopefully be able to get out a new chapter for all you loyal readers who stuck around despite it taking forever!

Now, for previous readers of this story, you'll notice that I've changed a few things, once again. So, let me explain: First, and foremost, his age. I've decided to make him seventeen. Why? Because now I'm seventeen, and even though I was that age at the time that I last updated this, I'm not entirely sure why I didn't change his age then.

The second thing that I changed are the gauntlets that Jack has. The first one, the one with the screen, I've changed slightly so that it only has a screen. So, in my mind, I'm imagining it as the gauntlet from COD: BO2. As for his other gauntlet… Well, for those of you who have read the story before, you know what's going to happen in the next chapter. So therefore, the change will be explained during next chapter.

But other than that, I really just checked this over for grammar mistakes, fixed up a few details to make more sense, and made it so that sentences actually had commas, since last time, each sentence was literally a single line of words, with hardly any commas present.)
