The maids and butlers had been rushing around all day and for some reason instead of my normal lesson with Riku he had decided to take me in to town. Apparently he had cleared it with mother and father weeks ago.

We spoke about the weather, politics and my studies on the ride over. The sun was beating down as I watched all the sights and the sounds around me. I had no idea what was going on but any time spent with Riku was time well spent in my books.

He told me about his family and what his little brother was like as a kid, he would also point out various flowers on the side of the road and tell me a little a bit about them. Today father had lent us his best horses for the journey.

Well I say they are horses but they are more like pure black horses with red eyes and six legs. They have two horns that come down near their ears and one massive horn in the middle. Not to mention their tail has fire particles on it.

I haven't gotten use to the magical beasts as most of them look like they could kill you in one hit, but Ren had explained before Riku and I had left that these mounts were only rank 2 and they should be perfectly safe.

We were at the halfway point when Riku had told me to dismount. We were at a place I could only describe as a paddock near the road.

We entered a small gate on the side. There was lush grasses and flowers growing everywhere. After about an incense stick of time and passing strange live stock we came to a rather small house that was surrounded by farmland.

There was a little cobblestone walkway as well as some tall trees and a picket fence. There was a child a little bit older than me picking vegetables in a garden patch to the side of the house. He was covered in dirt so I couldn't make out any other features besides his brown hair tied in a bun.

" Setsu! Tidy up we have a guest! " Riku shouted startling me.

" BROTHER!! " The teenager called Setsu seemed to shout.

Setsu ran over to Riku with a broad grin on his face before giving me a once over.

He looked down at the ground before running inside the house seemingly embarrassed.

" Hehe, He is a bit of a scatter brain but he is a good kid! " Riku said grinning.

I took another look at the house before Riku and I tied up our mounts near some grass and headed inside.

[ Wow Riku's house is really nice! ]

" I am sorry Yuki, there isn't much here but as you have guessed this is my home. I thought we could stop for lunch here, I hope you don't mind! " Riku said grinning.

All of a sudden a smell had wafted into my nose. It was the equivalent to a roasted meat smell from back on earth.

My stomach grumbled.

" Mother! My student is here! " Riku said as he led me through to the kitchen.

Overall the house had a very cosy feel to it. There was paintings of children on the walls, which I assumed were Setsu and Riku, little knick knacks on shelves and books as far as the eye could see.

On the whole the house felt very lively and warm.

" Oh my what a cute child! " A kind woman's voice said.

I looked up to see a female version of Riku standing above me holding a wooden spoon.

" Mother this is Yuki, I am teaching him at the generals estate! " Riku said.

" Oh dear, should I bow? I am sorry we don't have esteemed guests come to visit often " She said slight embarrassed.

" No! Please don't Mrs Fujiwara.. I don't think I could handle it " I flustered.
