Title: Kakashi's Cinderella

Prologue:

Everyone knew that Riko was a bastard. All the servants knew it. Yet they've loved little Riko every since she arrived on the master's doorstep that rainy August night. Because they loved her they pretend that she was exactly what the master said she was an orphaned daughter of a friend of his. Never mind that her moss green eyes and dark blonde hair matched the master's precisely. Never mind that the shape of her face resembled the master's dead mother. That her smile was an exact duplicate of the master sister's. None of the servant wanted to hurt Riko feelings, let alone risk their jobs.

Master Dai never once discussed Riko's origins, but he must have known that Riko was in fact a bastard. None of the servants ever knew what that mysterious letter said that a had been fished out of Riko overlarge pocket when she had been discovered that rainy night. Master Dai had burned it mere moments after finishing the letter. Since that day Riko remained in the mansion. Though he did not see her often when he did come home from missions he would address her as Riko and she address him as "my lord."

But what I suppose was more important was that Riko knew she was a bastard from the start. Though, she was not entirely sure how she knew this, she just seemed to know. She had few memory of her life before she came to live in the mansion. She remembered long trips across foreign lands. But most of all she remembered the kind face of her mother, smiling down at her. Riko last's memory of her mother was of her coughing and wheezing. She had looked so frail as she left her on the doorstep of the mansion that had become her home.

The first time the lord of mansion saw her he had touched his fingers to the little girl's chin tipping her face to the light and in that moment they both knew the painful truth.

Everyone knew that Riko was a bastard but no one every talked about it. All were quite happy with this arrangement. Or so they were until the master decided to remarry.

Riko had been happy when she heard the news. One of the housekeeper said that it was about time that the master remarried. She continued and spoke with confidence saying that master had been spending way to much time outside of the village. The butler also said that the Madame had two children near Riko age.

After seven long years alone in the nursery, Riko was delighted. Unlike many other children in the village she was not allowed outside and was never invited to parties. Nobody dared to call her a bastard because that would reflect badly on Master Dai. So at the age of ten Riko best friends were maids and footmen.

But finally Riko was getting real sisters.

She knew that she would not be able to call them her sisters. She knew she be introduce to them as Riko, the master's ward. That however did not seem to matter because to her they would feel like sisters.

So on a cold March day, Riko found herself waiting in the great hall along the assembly of servants. She watched out the windows in anticipation for them to show up.

"Do you think she'll like me the mistress I mean?" Riko asked to Rei the head housekeeper.

"Of course she will my darling." She whispered back but her eyes did not match her words as they held worry. Rei was worried that the new mistress would not take kindly to her husband's by blow.

" Will I be able to take lessons with her daughters?"

"No point in having you taking separate lessons."

Riko squirmed when the heavy door finally slid open. "They're here!" she cried in excitement.

Rei reached over to calm Riko and put her back into places as the master entered. As the master stepped a side Riko got a glance of two girls both with pink ribbons in matching black locks. Riko breath caught in her throat as she finally caught a glimpse of the master's new wife. She begged to gods above hoping the new mistress would look kindly on her.

"She beautiful," Riko whispered to herself as she neared her. Riko gulped in anticipation as she closed in. Finally the countess took notice of Riko and asked who she was. The master stepped in by saying it was his ward. Once the new mistress caught a full glance of Riko her eyes narrowed to tiny slits.

"I see," she said.

Everyone in the room knew instantly that yes indeed she did see.
