Welcome to chapter 6, enjoy.
In this chapter, Harry and Gilgamesh explore Fuyuki together and somehow end up in a king's banquet, sort of.
Also, to those who left a rather rude comment that I deleted. Yes, there is currently a lot of sexual activity at the moment because need I remind you both Harry and Gilgamesh are still new to their bonding and in honeymoon mode, of course, they would be all over each other and very active. I can tolerate people pointing out mistakes I do but I do NOT tolerate slander or discrimination I respectfully ask that you leave those kinds of comments to yourself and leave my story if it upsets or disagrees with you so much, thank you.
Now, with my mini-rant out of the way, let us get this story started.
Reviews:
Alirrae: I'm glad that you like my story, also Berserker being focused on Harry was because he may or may not share a similar eye color to a certain lady he knew who knows? ;) as for Enkidu, no he hasn't been mentioned yet since nither Harry or Gilgamesh have brought him up yet in a conversation but he will be mentioned soon.
Wait, just before we officially begin, I have decided to give Harry a name change, nothing big but I thought you guys would like a heads up.
I do NOT own the Fate series, just my Oc's and story idea.
Off we go!
Chapter 6: Kings and Banquets.
FUYUKI
MID-DAY
It was a pleasant day as Harry chuckles watching Gilgamesh they were currently exploring Fuyuki and Harry was helping his king get used to modern-day rules and technology.
So far, Gilgamesh had enjoyed his day out. He had a new phone to mess around with, some items called 'gaming consoles' that Harry would show him how to use at a later date and some games. He also got some more clothing to wear, Harry discovered he really liked seeing Gilgamesh in a suit.
Right now though, Harry was disparity trying not to laugh. The reason why? Well, they had come to the magical side of Japan and after checking a few places out they had found an exotic pet shop. So, they went inside and Gilgamesh was instantly swarmed by all the cats in the shop. He was sat on the floor playing with two lioness cubs right now, one was normal while the other was an albino.
"Ah, I see you have found your familiars sir, you must have a strong spirit and magic to attract Nemean Lion cubs," The shop owner a man edging towards his elder years said with delight.
"Nemean lion cubs? How in the world did you find Nemean lion cubs?" Harry asked as he calmed his chuckles.
"I rescued these two from the black market, they were stolen from their den after their mother was killed by a younger Nemean lion taking over her territory after the poachers were busted I took these two in," The shop owner said.
"Well, I guess we're going home with more than we expected," Harry said as he watched the cub's eyes change color to match Gilgamesh's red eyes showing they were familiar's.
The normal cub's eyes changed from light blue to ruby red while the albinoes went from a pinkish-red to the same ruby red, Gil looked very pleased with himself as he picked the cubs up.
"You shall be called Damkianna," To the albino who growls as if agreeing with him. "And you shall be called Kishargal," Gilgamesh said as the normal looking cub gave a small roar batting at his face wanting to play.
"The Mistress of Earth and Heaven, and Great Princess of Firm Ground, nice names dear, we can also call them Anna and Kish as nicknames," Harry said as he paid for the cubs and got the stuff they would need to care for the cubs.
Though while Harry was sorting this out he ended up finding the egg of a thunderbird, though it was white and blue instead of white and golden but Harry felt his magic react to the egg. He ended up leaving with his own familiar to care for much to Gilgamesh's teasing.
Harry, after placing his egg in a safe and warm place in his room, was sitting in the main living room watching as his king got the 3 month-old cubs to playfight with him. It reminded Harry of the stories Gilgamesh told him about how he would wrestle and play with the lions in his palace when he wasn't busy or needed some time to himself.
'Hm, what can we have for dinner? Wait, I saw a nice restaurant we could eat at' Harry thought before nodding.
"Gil? Do you want to eat out?" Harry asked from the doorway making Gilgamesh look over.
"Hm, a meal sounds nice," Gilgamesh said as the cubs played with the toys he got from his gates letting him get up.
"Okay, we will need to change into some fresh clothing though," Harry said.
"And why is that?" Gilgamesh asked curiously.
"For one thing, you're covered in fur, two, I am taking you to a nice restaurant so some nice clothing is required," Harry said with a huff as he grabbed Gil's hand and lead him to his room.
10 minutes later both were dressed nicely with Gilgamesh in a button-up long sleeve white top with a black jacket and black pants with some brown leather shoes. He had his earrings in still, Harry also had a button-up white top but he had on grey pants with a brown belt, black leather shoes, and a knee-length plaid grey and black coat for warmth he also had his earrings in.
Harry gave the house-elves some instructions before leaving and locking up the manor, after a quick car ride the two arrived at the restaurant and went inside and Gilgamesh, being Gilgamesh, just had to get the best and got one of the privet rooms. Harry found it a bit amusing at how the staff seems to almost trip over themselves in trying to appease Gilgamesh and himself but he wasn't gonna tell Gilgamesh that.
"Hm, the food here is nice," Harry said as he took a bite out of his steak it was cooked just right, he hums a bit as Gilgamesh took a sip of white wine.
"The wine while not up to my usual standards is nice, white wine was it? I wonder how many more wine types have been made?" Gilgamesh said as he looked at his drink, he would have to check his gates later to see if his wine collection had any new types in there.
Harry chuckles as he let his thoughts wander, the past few days have been full of him helping his king to adjust to modern life. He had already set up an account with the goblins and gotten Gilgamesh's birth certificates for this era and due to a tiny bit of paranoia on Harry's end he made Gilgamesh do some tests to get some qualifications both mundane and magical, Gilgamesh didn't wish to do it at first seeing it as a waste of time but he was soon changing his mind when Harry told him he wouldn't be allowed to touch him for 2 months or kiss him. The female goblins got a laugh out of that while the male goblins winced in sympathy, needless to say, Gilgamesh did the tests and got the highest score in each one.
So, with Gilgamesh necessities for living in the modern world covered they finally got all of the items they needed for the ritual. Those items were currently stored in the Gate of Babylon for safekeeping.
'Speaking of the goblins, I need to contact father and dad' Harry thought recently he had thought about changing his first name or at least switching it around.
Don't get him wrong he liked the name Harrison but it also carried with it the pain of what Lily and James did to him growing up, it felt like a weight on his shoulders that kept bugging him. He wanted to move on with his life with Gilgamesh without anything bothering him, he had spoken with Felix about the matter while Gilgamesh was doing his tests at Gringotts using a two-way mirror. His little brother had understood what he meant and actually admitted to wanting to do the same thing for a while now.
Felix wanted to wait until he was finished with Hogwarts before changing his name to avoid confusion and confrontation with the Potters but he gave Harry his blessings and congratulations on finally finding his soulmate, the older brother was glad and wished his little brother the best with his schoolwork before hanging up.
"You seem troubled my dear? What is wrong?" Gilgamesh's voice snapped Harry from his thoughts making him look up at him.
"Hm? Oh, just thinking about an important matter," Harry said as they finished their food.
"What kind of matter?" Gilgamesh asked as he reached over and held Harry's hand making the green-eyed male smile.
"Well, I was thinking of changing my first name, you see, I like my name and all but it feels like there is a weight on my shoulders all the time and something is holding me back," Harry said as he leans on the table while the waiter came over and took the plates and cutlery away.
"It was the name the Potters gave you, in a way it is still a connection to them, so a part of you is still chained down by them," Gilgamesh said as he understood what Harry was trying to tell him.
"Yeah that's true, I've talked with Felix about it, he wants to change his name as well but is waiting until he finishes his education, he gave me his blessings so I just need to talk with Sirius and Remus about it," Harry said making Gilgamesh nod.
"We can do that after we eat here, I've been wanting to talk with your father and dad face to face since I was summoned, they seem like a very entertaining pair," Gilgamesh said with a smirk making Harry chuckle.
"That they are," Harry said as a waiter came over and they ordered their deserts.
"By the way, what new name will you choose?" Gilgamesh asked as Harry smiled.
"Amani, Amani Black, I don't know why but I always liked the name Amani growing up," Harry said as Gilgamesh thought the name over.
"Amani, it means desires yet harmony, very fitting for you, hm," Gilgamesh said as the deserts arrived.
After they finished their food Gilgamesh paid for the meal and he was very serious when he said they could deal with Harry's name problem after their meal because Harry found himself back in the Gringotts bank. He got in contact with Sirius and Remus both of them were happy that he found his soulmate and after hearing of Harry's decision they gave their blessings, they also met Gilgamesh while Harry went to deal with his name change with the Goblins.
The king of heroes got on rather well with Sirius and Remus, after Sirius and Remus read Gilgamesh the age-old 'break his heart and we break you' act that all protective fathers do, he had to admire Sirius and his pranking ways as he laughed at some of the tales he heard while Remus just sighed at his husband's antics. The king was about to start a discussion with Remus about the different types of magic travel when his soulmate returned.
Harry or as of right now Amani Black, was full of joy and looked like a huge burden had been lifted from him. Gilgamesh smiled as Amani hugged him tightly, he chuckles before going silent as Amani leans up and kissed him. He held Amani's waist, hm, he could get used to the new name it really suited him.
"You look like you've had too much sugar pup!" Sirius said with a chuckle making them pull part and look over at the two-way mirror.
"Way to ruin the moment Sirius," Remus said face-palming.
"What?" Sirius asked confused looking at his werewolf husband making the soulmates smirk.
"Thank you, father, dad, for everything," Amani said making his parents look back over at them.
"Your welcome, Amani, now, go on and have fun! Love you pup!" Sirius said with two thumbs up as Remus waves before the link cut off.
After paying the Goblins for their help and bidding them a good day the two left the bank and went back into town, they did a bit of window shopping this time since neither was in the mood to buy anything.
"I swear the mobile phone keeps getting smaller and smaller," Amani said looking at the latest models.
"Useful tools none the less, I was thinking of getting one myself to try out," Gilgamesh said while glancing around the shopping district when something caught his eye.
"What is that mongrel doing?" Gilgamesh said making Amani look away from the phones and down the street following Gilgamesh's gaze and saw what he was looking at.
It was Iskandar carrying a big barrel of what could only be wine, his master walked beside him looking unamused yet resigned to what his servant was doing. Gilgamesh huffs but held out his arm to Amani who linked his arm with his kings and they walked over, this instantly caught the master's attention.
"Ah! It's you two," He said his face caught between shock and fear.
Remembering that the other master's and servants thought he was a servant himself, minus Assassin and Kirei who knew who he was, he smiled and played his part.
"Greetings to you both," Amani said with a smile.
"Haha, greetings Archer! And this must be your wife?" Iskandar said with a grin as he looked at Amani.
Waver blushed at bit at how blunt his servant was while Gilgamesh smirks.
"Yes, this is my Queen, tell me, king of conquerors why are you carrying that?" Gilgamesh asked looking at the giant of a king and the wine barrel.
"This? Why I'm going to hold a banquet of kings later this evening! Say, you should both join us," Iskandar said with a grin.
"A banquet of kings? Ha! We shall be there if only to show you who is the superior king," Gilgamesh said a challenging look in his eyes.
"I look forward to it, it will be held at the place Saber and her master are staying at in a forest near Fuyuki," Iskandar said with a nod and smirk as Waver sighs before leaving with Rider.
"I guess we're going to a banquet tonight," Amani said with a chuckle as Gilgamesh smirks looking at Amani.
"Let us go a prepare for it then, first, I need to check on my cubs and you need to check on your egg," Gilgamesh said making Amani nod, they needed to see how their familiar's were doing first.
After a quick spell home Gilgamesh found his lion cubs asleep in the living room, he saw the toys he left them half-chewed to hell and back showing that the Nemean cubs would need much more sturdy toys to play with. He took them to his and Amani's room and let them sleep on a mini-bed he summoned from his gates, while he was doing this Amani had found that his egg was becoming a bit more active but not close to hatching yet according to Dobby it would take a few more weeks.
"Will we need to bring food?" Amani asked as he wandered about the kitchen having an apple as a quick snack.
"I don't think it will be needed, I doubt this will be a big banquet or a grand one," Gilgamesh said he didn't think Rider or Saber would have time to set up a huge banquet in such a short amount of time.
"True, I'd hate to feed such a big guy like Iskandar and judging from Kirei's report Saber can eat for 5 men easily, speaking of Saber," Amani said as he finished his apple and threw it in the bin.
"I still baffled that she's King Arthur, my home countries king was actually a woman dressed as a man! It makes me wonder what other things history got wrong," Amani said with a sigh only to yelp as he found himself picked up by Gilgamesh.
"That is a debate we can have another time, my queen," He said with a grin as his armor replaces his modern-day clothing.
"Your right, we've got other matters to deal with right now," Amani said thinking of the feast and Gail War.
His hums letting his clothing change into that of his royal outfit, he saw Gilgamesh's eyes wander making him chuckle and reach up to tap him on the nose. The king blinks a bit at the sudden tap making Amani giggle, he smiled gently grabbing Gil's chin and made the king look at him.
"Later, my love, banquet first, fun time later," Amani said making Gilgamesh smirk.
"Very well, let us be off then! Time to show those so-called kings who the superior one of us really is," Gilgamesh said.
Amani nods as he raised his hand and with a click of his fingers they both vanished with a small quiet crack, just as they left Dobby appeared in the living room looking around before shrugging at not seeing his masters home.
"Dobby will leave it here then!" Dobby said with a smile as he placed a letter on the living room table.
"Now, Dobby can make that misty skull lady a cup of tea, but how will she drink with that mask on Dobby wonders?" The house-elf said to himself before going into the kitchen.
