Chapter 1: It's THAT kind of story Part 1

Hi Guys! I'm back (sort of? O_O)

I was really moved by your comments on my other story Kagurella and The Sadistic Prince (which surprisingly had nothing to do with Cinderella haha!)

But this one does ^_^ (sort of...)

I'll just stop talking!

It was a bright and sunny day in the small village of Edo. A young vermillion haired girl sat on her knees scrubbing away at the floor.

Her evil stepsisters grinned as they watched her sweat. The room slowly filled with the sound of their snickers.

The huge mansion with endless halls and countless windows was silent, except for the laboured breaths of the youngest sister.

The young girl shook with the effort to remain upright. Using the last of her energy, she glanced up at them with undeniable innocence.

"I'm finished.." She whispered weakly. Her throat so course and dry. The one cup of water she was allowed per day was fading.

"You missed a spot." Said Shinpachina, pushing up her glasses with an air of malicious grace.

Kagura glanced weakly around. "B-but I've done it 3 times Onee Sama..."

"How dare you talk back!" Yelled Yamazakimi the eldest and the authority figure of the house.

She rested her pointed heel against the back of Kagura's head, now pressed against the cool marble floor.

"If we say that there is a spot you missed you clean it! Is that understood?!"

"Y-yes Onee Sama"

"Good. And when you're finished that come to our rooms. We have some dresses that need to be sewed for the ball".

Both sisters turned in a swirl of silk and satisfaction.

Kagura's ears perked up. "May I go as well?" She asked meekly pushing herself up with much effort.

Shinpachina turned around, flipping her hair back and laughed. "You? You must be joking. Know your place Yato. That name may have been prestigious once, but now it means nothing. Your only purpose in life is to serve us."

The cold house, the cold room, and the cold comfort. She couldn't take it anymore.

Kagura turned and ran, letting her tears fall freely and hearing the ringing of the taunts her sisters called after her. She ran to the only place that could offer her solace, her safe haven. Her mother's garden.

She kneeled by the tulips and lilies, head in her hands and sobbed.

"Papi.. Mommy... Brother.. Why did you all leave me...?"

The poor young Yato girl a slave for eternity, looked back at her beautiful prison, where she could just make out the glowing eyes and the deep smirks of her sisters watching her anguish.

{Is what you were thinking right?}

No, well that's not exactly how the tale goes... ;)

"Kagura Chan... Have mercy.."

"We've done everything you asked us to!

Kagura grinned looking down at the whining pathetic excuses for "sisters". "Kneel before me peasantsaru!"

Shinpachi and Yamazaki lay sprawled on the floor, they wriggled in the dresses Kagura had "asked" them to wear. Makeup slightly smeared.

"Itai Kagura Chan that hurts! Your back messages really hurt!" Shinpachi yelled.

"I'm hungry Pachiaru" she moaned stepping off the tear soaked Yamazaki, who sighed in pure relief. He sat up straight hugging his badminton racket like a precious doll. "You know Yoruzuya San, I heard about this ball that's going on at the Shinsengumi castle.

Shinpachi sent him a glare that could freeze ice. "No. There is no way she's going anywhere near those tax robbers! I don't care if you use to work there!" He added as Yamazaki opened his mouth, "her father would kill me!"

Kagura sighed eyeing her guardians. Once a part of the modestly wealthy Yato family, after her mother's death when she was younger, Kagura's older brother had rebelled and ran away. Her father was constantly away on business trips, leaving her this huge house and Shinpachi and Yamazaki as her only companions.

"I'm just saying!" Yamazaki yelled. Kagura realized as she tuned back in that they were still on the same subject. "It might be nice for her to get out though! There will be dancing, lots of food, music, even the royal Prince-"

"I'll goaru." She decided.

"Nani!" Shinpachi turned to her but Kagura was already gone.

The two stood in silence. Yamazaki put a hesitant hand on the other boys shoulder.

"Anoo Shinpachi kun... Are you mad?"

He shrieked when he realized he was only holding a pair of glasses.

"Shinpachi Kun?!"

He glanced down at his now damp feet in horror.

"HE MELTED!"

...
