Chapter 2: Moving In With A Prince.
"Hime-san! Please!" I shrieked out as the princess threw her belongings on the floor looking for a certain dress of hers.
"No no no NO! I need to find that dress before I met the prince today!" Shige Hime-san replied back pacing back and forth from her drawers...
I sighed to myself and thought 'We're not meeting him we're moving in with him.' But there is not point in telling her that; it is possible it would make her fret even more. I shrugged and stood up from the pile of clothes that was thrown on top of me. Pulling a long cream pink dress that frilled at the bottom with a small little white bow around the bust line.
"Would this be it?" I asked handing it over the princess."Yes YES!" She yelled snatching it without a thanks and threw off her old clothes that landed in my arms.This routine as become regular for me since I was 16 years of age...So that would be two years now.
Turning my back around and heading for the laundry I admired the beauty of the house for one final time. It was kinda sad I didn't get to become use to this house within the two years I've had. But there is always another chance later; for now I had to arrange our plans.Placing the princess night gown on a basket and stepping out to re-read our schedule for the day. It was rather full; with a little time as it would be rude to keep a prince waiting for you.
I had a little smile at the thought of Prince Gaki but immediately shook it off as I grabbed the nearest hair tie and pulled my hair up into it's usual pony tail.It was a weird rule we had; but then again we have many weird rules that only apply to...me. I ruffled the back of the pony tail sighed and proceeded to check on the princess.She ran out of the room prancing around and twirling in her dress.
I bit my bottom lip hard it almost bleed; she looked so elegant and beautiful and here I was just an ordinary "maid". I was distracted for a split moment before I felt a small tap on my shoulder. The princess had done a full circle around me and picked up the most ridiculous outfit I was to wear in front of the Prince!
I went red in the face and wanted to say "No way! I'm not wearing that!" But stopped myself as the princess orders are final. I picked up the clothes from her stretched out arms and walked into the room.I sat down on the bed as I carefully pulled the thigh high stocking over my feet and legs; this was bothersome I thought. Who these days wears a maid costume unless it is for...I got more embarrassed. A sexual act of some sort. laid on the bed looking at the cream fan with a serious look; I had a feeling of some sort...that I-I-I ahhchuu~ I covered my nose. Who is thinking about me at this time and hour? I said jokingly as I slipped on the baby doll Lolita shoes and walked out to the princess.
xx------------------------------------------------------------xx
Sighing to myself I paced the grand hall awaiting the arrival of Princess Shige-san. I however kept thinking of that dream; I couldn't put my finger on the girl. Had I seen her before? Or was it just my mind wondering off with the little fairies?Whatever it was; I admitted I wish it was a dream that would end up being true.
The young maiden to be honest, was rather cute and sweet. I had a small grin to myself and told myself I was being a fool.It wasn't long before the door creaked open and I heard a few squabbles.
"Sayaka! Pull the dress down more! Fix up my hair! Gosh hurry UP! He'll see me any second now!"
"Ha-Hai!"
I raised my eyebrow as two figures entered the hall. One was a rather average height girl with long silky black hair who wore a rather creamy pink dress. I shifted my eyes to the young woman beside her who looked to be about...18? She was wearing black thigh high stockings; Lolita baby doll shoes and what seemed a maid costume. I wanted to say something to her as it was rather absurd to be wearing something like that but I bit my tongue and walked over to the girl.
"Prince Gaki; You must be the beautiful Princess Shige." I said bowing and giving her a gentle smile"Yes; I am" she said back rather fast and proud. I was surprised how she seemed similar to the girl in my dreams...but she now seemed rude as she barged past me and order Taka to take her suitcases to the room. I frowned at her bossy attitude as I payed my respect to I guess her maid.
"I'm sorry about her behaviour;" the maiden said before I could slip in a word. I just looked at her astonished as she blushed and apologised "Sorry! My name is Sayaka; I was adopted by the Shige family to be assistance to Princess Shige...even though I was supposed to her sister.."
I looked at her for a second missing her last words underneath her breath. But I think; I caught the gist of it. My attention was caught by Taka running down the stairs in great haste breathing hard, The maiden...Sayaka seemed taken in by him.
"She is troublesome huh?" she said smiling gently that gave off a warmth to it.
"Uh-huh!" Taka agreed kneeling on his knees with a slight laugh
"I'm Sayaka by the way," She replied back helping Taka to his normal height.
"Taka; nice to meet you." he said smiling at her as if he were already fond of the maiden. "Young Master Gaki, it's a shame you're parents told you it has to be royal blood. Because this girl, is just what you'd want!"
I smiled at Taka as I focused on Sayaka as she pulled the dress down with her arms tucking inwards blushing. I couldn't help but feel a bit drawn to her in a way. But I knew it would be wrong to get close with her...so I shook it off and decided that I'd try to get to know her better instead.I suddenly heard a familiar noise ring throughout my ear; my cousin Nozomi had come to stay with me for awhile.
Her long light brown hair shone in the light as her brown eyes fixed upon Sayaka.
"Ohya!" Nozomi said glomping Sayaka. I felt my arms go to pull her off but stopped
"Ohya to you to, Nozomi!" She said rubbing Nozomi's head; scuffing her hair. I stopped for a second...how did she know Nozomi?!
"Kyaa Saya onee-chan you're back!" Nozomi said digging her head into Sayaka's chest. If this were on tv...I'm sure I'd have about a billion zillion question marks around my head!
It hit me when Nozomi suddenly pounced on me.
"Grr, you don't remember Saya onee!??! GAKII!!" she wailed at me as her brown eyes had tears in them. Had I met this Sayaka before? I mean if I did how old were we?!
Nozomi frowned at me with a playful pinch to my cheeks. I rubbed them while giving her a glare as she poked her tongue out.
"Just cause you're a prince doesn't mean you forget people!" and with that she ran off but came back playfully dragging Taka away from us. I shook my head at her; she was a lot older then what she acted. Reaction Princess much? I said out aloud and got a response from maiden Sayaka.She gave a small laugh and smiled at me.
"She is a real cutie!" She said pretending to pinch Nozomi's cheeks if she were there. She stopped and looked at me with a rather wide grin. I couldn't help but smile back at her; I offered to show her to her room. She gladly agreed and linked arms with me. I gave her a surprised look and she let go of my arm in an instant. She was rather thoughtful; but I didn't care and instead re-linked our arms. I couldn't help though, but notice the aroma. She smelt nice; like newly fallen or blooming Cherry Blossoms and her skin was smooth like silk. It actually gave me shivers down my back.
Opening the door she sat her belongings down and gave a small sigh to herself. I stood back admiring her for a few more seconds; I'm sure she was the one in my dream now...but why would I act so irresponsible on a girl who is so well mannered and isn't interested in me? I shook it off and closed her door telling we'd met later.Later of course, try like 5 seconds! Her door flew open as she jumped back to find me still there. She looked into my eyes for a bit, biting her lower lip I knew at that moment she wanted to tell me something but couldn't...
xx--------------------------------------------------------------------------xx
I stared into the Prince's brown eyes; I wanted to tell him then and there "I Love You! Make me Your Princess!" But I couldn't do it, I wouldn't also put my feelings before Shige Hime-san...I timed it right though as she wailed out my name that echoed in the halls from her room. I bit harder on my bottom lip harder than I did before; I took one more glimpse of the Prince. His brown hair with majority of it pulled back in a crimson, gold bow..His memorising brown eyes, the way his suit glittered in the light; the light illuminated the red crimson and gold on his top.
I couldn't take it; every part of me was screaming "Do it Do it Do it!" I wanted to tell him, kiss him! But I just couldn't...Shige hime-san yelled once again this time her wail echoing louder than last..I sighed and apologized to Prince Gaki shifting past him as I felt his hand brushed against mine it gave me butterflies. But I couldn't think about that now; the princess is wailing like a baby and if her call is not answered I'm punished harder..
The thought of her punishment if I was any later...made a few of scratch marks and cuts tingle with pain. I shook my head and told myself I deserved that pain but really... I don't want to face the same sharp but blunt instrument again. It made me wonder if she did even bring the stained knife in case I "played up" on her and ruined her chances of getting married to the prince.
I opened the door to find Shige hime-san sitting there rather annoyed at me, I flinched at her glare. I was in trouble now; no doubt about it...
