Tomorrow, Kanno reminded himself, is the first day of school! YOU'RE FINALLY GOING TO FERRUCYON!
He flipped himself over. He just could not sleep. He was too excited, even his heart started to beat faster.
Badum badum badum.
Uhrrrr just fall asleep Kanno, he growled in frustration.
Tap tap tap...someone was climbing up the stairs. Kanno's ears twitched and he immediately sat up straight in alert.
Tap tap tap...the tapping of rubber soles on wood grew louder. Kanno guessed that it. was probably his annoying uncle. After all, only two of them lived here and his uncle was bound to play small pranks on him. This was definitely another prank.
Knock knock. There came a sharp and clear knocking sound that pierced through the eerily quiet night.
"Come in," Kanno said in an annoying tone.
The door slowly creaked open, he could see dime light from the hallway shining in. Stepping in, a pair of pale white hands appeared-strange, Kanno's uncle always wore black leather gloves, even when sleeping-and then in came an aged man in a suite whose wrinkled face made himself look extremely scary in the shadows. His silvery hair sparkled and his purple-ish eyes glowed like gems.
"AAAHHHHHHHH!" Kanno screamed at the top of his lungs.
Leaping out of his mountain of pillows, he went crashing into the wall.
"Hahaha, young master, there is no need to be so traumatised by this old servant," came a creepily soothing voice. His voice was soothing, yes, but it felt like an eerie lullaby, about to hypnotise and entrancing you into those royal purple eyes. It gave Kanno the chills and of course, that is what he dislike about the old butler. The butler, like his uncle, also liked playing pranks. Last time, it was putting a robotic spider in his room for "security reasons" as he put it, but Kanno swore he could see the evil glint in his eyes. This house was full of weirdos, except for Kanno of course.
Kanno scrambled onto his feet and narrowed his eyes. There is someone else. The butler never walks that loudly, as a matter of fact, he walks so softly that Kanno even wonders whether he's walking or not, and sometimes he even forgets the existence of the butler as he simply is too stealthy to be noticed. Kanno even dug up a report about his profile, which showed his records as professional assassin, proving why he walked so quietly.
Sly old fox. Kanno thought, he wasn't that naïve little fox anymore. He knew.
"Hey old wolf, come out, I know you're there," Kanno stared intently at the door, as if he could stare right through it.
"OOOhhhhhh noooooo~ I've been caught!" A red haired man he called uncle stepped into the room, "It's no fun when you're nephew is old."
"Who are you calling old?"
"You called me old first!" His uncle wined back.
Onserving closely, beside the door, was the old butler. He had this fond smile on his face, as if looking at his childhood, which he would never be able to go back. That look on his face, sometimes made Kanno's heart soften up.
"Hem hem. Back to business. I'm here to tell you that as the headmaster of your new school, I will be leaving early tomorrow. My old man here" he said, motioning to the butler, "will be escorting you to your new school." You yawned loudly at this point-"DON'T YAWN WHEN YOUR UNCLE IS TALKING. Now listen carefully, everyone in Ferrucyon high has their own butler, including me. However, this time, since you are my nephew, I will be letting you have my butler."
"What? Why can't you just get another butler for me? I'm sure you don't lack the money-"
"Simply due to the fact that your dear uncle is worried for you to the point that he doesn't trust other butlers," his uncle gave him that close-eyed smile that gets on his nerves, "but don't you worry, I can do just fine on my own without a butler."
"Whose worried?" Kanno snapped.
"What master said is true." the butler finally spoke. Kanno flinched a little, he almost forget he was there.
"There, you heard him. So, it's settled then!" his uncle smiled in a satisfactory way and left the room, together with the old butler.
"Uhhhrrr!" Kanno buried his face into the pile of pillows. He probably just likes ruining the fun.
Kanno wondered how his mother could handle such an annoying sibling. He thought of all the types of people he'd meet at his new school. Now, all the possibilities were probably ruined. The old butler was simply too intimidating to even approach. He shook his head furiously. He would see how it was at Ferrucyon before making his judgement. Now, it was time to doze off into the dreamlands...
