Enchanted

Crash Landing

Yuya was feeling quite sleepy after his delicious grilled salmon, sitting back in his seat to rest. His eyes closed and he was just starting to drift off to sleep when he heard a sound. It sounded like distant screaming that was rapidly coming closer. Just as Yuya opened his eyes—

CRASH!

A cloud of dust rose up as something fell from the sky and crash-landed in the garden. Yuto and Yuya coughed from the dust as Yuri screamed. "MY GARDEN! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"

As the dust cleared, a young man sat up amongst the now ruined vegetable patch in Yuri's garden. He had sapphire-blue hair with banana bangs. His blue tourmaline eyes looked a bit disoriented. "Ugh, where am I...?"

"You ruined my cabbages!" Yuri shrieked. He rushed over and grabbed the young man by the hair, dragging him out of his poor veggies. The blunana yelped and tried to get free. "OUCH! OW! Hair! Hair! Hair!"

Yuri threw the young man across the glade, shrieking about his damaged plants. Yuya's eyes widened and he decided to step in. Concentrating, he changed his tail into legs and hurried over to calm Yuri. Yuto's eyes widened and he immediately snapped his fingers, and a beach towel appeared wrapped around Yuya's waist.

"Yuri, I'm sure he didn't mean to ruin your garden," Yuya said soothingly, not even noticing the towel that had appeared around him. "I'm sure we can fix it."

"He destroyed my poor cabbages!" Yuri seethed, glaring furiously at the blunana. "That stupid little human! I should—"

"I'm not a human!" the blunana exclaimed. "I'm a homunculus!"

At that the elf went silent for a moment, still glaring at the blunana. After a moment, he growled, "Then where, pray tell, is your witch?" Homunculi were creatures created by witches to act as servants and assistants. They couldn't really do much without their witch's permission unless they were cast away by their witch, in which case they became a bit feral.

The homunculus pouted furiously. "She threw me away..." he said sulkily in response to Yuri's question. "She got a shiny new homunculus and decided she didn't want me anymore! Just teleported me away and next thing I know I'm crash-landing in some veggies and getting dragged by my hair!"

Yuri scowled. "Then it's her fault you ruined my poor cabbages..." His anger at the homunculus was now redirected towards the creature's former master, and he began plotting revenge against the witch that had tossed the homunculus into his garden.

Yuya, sensing that Yuri was no longer angry at the intruder, turned to look at the blunana. "My name's Yuya. That's Yuri, and that over there is Yuto. What's your name?"

"My name's Yugo!" the blunana said immediately. "Yugo! Don't forget my name! I always hated it when my old master called me different things, like Yuugou..." He pouted at the memory.

"Well, Yugo, it's nice to meet you!" Yuya said brightly. Yugo smiled, happy that the tomato was calling him by his proper name.
