This is the story of a young woman. She was the daughter of the governor of an Island at the south of the central continent in Makai. Now, I suppose you'll be asking 'why her?' Well it's quite simple actually. But I won't say it until I finish telling you this story. So let's talk a bit about her. She has beautiful and shiny chocolate eyes; which color is matched only by her short and curly hair. She also has a few freckles that are splashed across her face. She is gorgeous and nearly perfect in many aspects. She possesses a beautiful voice and knows how to play the piano. But don't let that trick you. She is also a skilled user of the bow and arrow, not to mention she belongs to a long line of water wizard's family. She may look like the humans her family rules, but she owns a great power inside her.
She is also quite a character indeed. She's 17 years old, and for the past three years, she has been denying every man that asked her hand in marriage, which REALLY pissed her parents off. That's why they decided that, if she didn't choose one man to marry on her 18th birthday -which would be this night- They would.
"But mother!! I don't want to marry some guy I just met!!! I want to fall in love!!! Is that so much to ask for!?!?" replied angrily the young brunette woman as another one with blue eyes and blond hair tightened her corset and finally tied it up.
"Yes! It IS too much Marion!! When are you going to learn child, that at least on this times women have no choice but to be obedient and submissive? You where very lucky that your father let you choose at your 15th, 16th AND 17th birthday! But did you take that as a chance to pick a good-looking and rich man? No... You HAD to be so stubborn... I don't know where you got that from..." answered Marion's mother, who had straight brown hair and blue eyes; as the blond maid brought an elegant dark blue dress, which had long, big sleeves at each side of it, but leaved the shoulders at full sight. It also left at sigh the top of the woman's breasts at sight.(you know, like the type of dress that Elizabeth wore on pirates of the Caribbean at the beginning of the movie)It was so long it reached the floor; and it had golden ornaments in the sleeves and waist of it.
"Excuse me miss... if you may raise your arms please?" said the blond girl.
"Sure Maya" answered Marion as she raised them, so that her maid could fit the dress on her. Once she wore it, Maya went behind Marion to tie the strings in the back of the dress. Once it was all done, her mother stared at her.
"You're so pretty Marion... but your behavior leaves us so much to wish for..."said her mother right before she went and opened the door of Marion's room; and before leaving, she said "Once you're ready, come downstairs and be sure that you pick well ok? We'll give announce of who's going to be your future husband in less than an hour, if you don't earlier. Good luck" she closed the door. Marion sat on in front of her mirror while her maid brushed her hair softly. Then tears began to fall down her cheeks.
"No, no don't cry my lady" said the affable maid as she left the brush on the dressing table and picked a tissue of a nearby box to dry Marion's tears "It'll be just fine miss... I'm sure that something good will come up from all of this. I can feel it, and you know I'm never wrong when it's about that" replied Maya again, trying to reassure the best friend she had had in all the eleven years she had spend in the mansion.
"But Maya..." said Marion between sobs while standing up and walking towards her balcony "... I really DO want to fall in love... I want to know... how such feeling feels... I want to know... what love is like... what love IS..." Marion stared outside and the moon... it was nearly full. Then she turned her head to Maya and spoke aloud "I wish I could be free... I wish I could be like..." she turned her head to the landscape outside her balcony. She saw the forest that surrounded her mansion and the village, and beyond it; the beach and the harbor. There, she found one thing to complete her sentence "I wish I could be like those merchants. They travel all around the world to sell and buy... they ARE free..."
"But, my lady!!" Maya replied a bit scared "Don't you know there're pirates out there???"
"Hm..." Marion thought for a while... then said "Then I shall become one!" as she smiled.
"My lady!! Such thing is not for a lady as beautiful and smart as you are! Pirates are filthy, rude, disgusting... not to mention they steal, kidnap, rape, kill... even though..." Maya hesitated before speaking. She didn't know if it was proper to tell this to her young lady... but...
-Another one's POV-
It's a really dark night; if the moonlight weren't here... Anyway I like better the darkness. From afar I could hear a voice… two voices. I went towards the place the voice came from, jumping from one tree to another. Then I saw a young brunette that one could distinguish as the governor's daughter, for the expensive dress she was wearing. I thought that I might be able to take some information if I 'overheard' her conversation. Even though women's conversations are dull, not to mention stupid sometimes…
-Normal POV-
Marion was really curious to what Maya was about to say so she asked "Even though...?"
"I've heard of a gang of pirates that only steal... and sometimes kidnap... I think they have a code of some sort..."
"Go on..." said Marion as she went and sat again on the chair in front of her mirror, facing at Maya. Maya took that chance to embellish her mistress with the jewels of the dressing table while she spoke "People say that they were nobles that went broke or something like that. They have four leaders... Their names are Suichi Minamino, Hiei Jangashi, Yuusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara"
"If I'm not mistaken... Jangashi means 'master of the eye' right?"
"Exactly miss. They say that Hiei has a third eye on his forehead, called 'the jagan' or 'evil eye'..."
"Wow... that sounds... creepy. Go on" said Marion as she smirked.
-Another one's POV-
As I heard what they said, I spoke my thoughts "They're talking about us… It seems she's talking to her maid, since the other woman addressed her as "my lady"…"
-Normal POV-
"Well... they also say that Suichi Minamino is a fox demon... but I highly doubt it, since demons no longer exist..." said Maya.
"What!?" Marion yelled as she stood up roughly from her chair, ignoring Maya's last comment "a fox demon!? IS THAT SO!????"she asked excited.
-Another one's POV-
"Hn, the "lady" seems to have a particular interest in Kurama… Hn, stupid fox. I can't understand what is it with him and females anyway…" I had to shut up to listen to them some more, since the tree I was stepping on was slightly distant from the girl's balcony.
-Normal POV-
"Yes my lady" Maya sighed "I know how much you like wolfs and foxes, but remember; demons ARE different from animals and, like I said; I HIGHLY doubt that demons exist anymore"
"Oh, I know..." Marion replied as she pouted and sat again on her chair "well... tell me more about them!"
"That's all I know miss... oh! And I've heard also that, they call Suichi Minamino the 'Romantic soldier'"
"They do? Why?"
"Well... they say he always leaves a rose on the place or ship he stole from... and also, that he steals a kiss to every pretty woman he meets"
"What a player..." Marion said as she rolled her eyes.
"But woman say that he's extremely handsome"
-Another one's POV-
'Hn, just like I predicted it, stupid female conversation; I think I'll take a nap 'til I hear something interesting' I thought as I sat and leaned on the tree while my eyes, but not taking the attention from the lass's voices.
-Normal POV-
"Tell me Maya, would you allow him to steal a kiss from you?" asked Marion with smirk.
"N-no my lady... I don't think so...." answered Maya while she blushed and Marion laughed a bit "W-what about you miss? If I'm not to bold to ask..."
"Well that IS to bold to ask!" replied an angry Marion. Which made poor Maya to bow, bow and bow in apologies and say "I-I beg your pardon miss, I..."
"...I was just kidding Maya. You know you're my best friend. You've been with me since childhood, so its ok" said Marion, this time between chuckles. Maya sighed and responded "Don't scare me like that miss"
"Ok, this is the LAST time I ask you to call me Marion!! At least when you're alone with me, understood??"
"Yes miss, I-I mean... Marion" Oh, how much did Marion enjoy to tease Maya, but she also cared a lot about her. Like she mentioned, Maya had been friends with her since childhood; they were like sisters.
"And about your question... I wouldn't allow nor stop him from stealing a kiss from me. I would challenge him to steal it. And if he cans, then the kiss would be his reward for such excellent job"
Maya giggled and said "Done" as she placed the last piece of jewelry around Marion's neck. She was wearing a golden tiara with a tear-shaped pearl on the middle and small sapphires all around it and the tiara. Each earring she was wearing had small tear-shaped pearl hanging from it with gold around them. On her wrists she had all kinds of pearl and golden bracelets; and on her fingers she had two golden rings, one on her right hand and the other one on her left one. The right one had a ruby in it and the left one had a diamond. But her necklace was the one that caught her sight. It wasn't hers, it was Maya's; the last gift from her now dead mother. It was a beautiful golden necklace with diamonds all over it and in the middle, a huge emerald. Marion was still surprised that Maya had given such a priced possession to her, but Maya said "It's for good luck. And also a thanking gift for your kindness, your comprehension and... Above all... for the friendship you've given me... Marion"
Marion was shocked. She never thought that she would appreciate their friendship THAT much... so she said "But Maya... this is your mother's! I can't wear it! It's has too much worth to you... I just..."
"Miss Marion... it's okay. I know my mother would have wanted you to wear it, since you've been so nice to me and all... so please... I would feel terribly sad if you don't wear it tonight..." said Maya with a couple of tears being held in her eyes.
"OK, ok!! ...I'll wear it... but don't cry ok??" replied Marion as she stood up and walked to the balcony again, this time leaning on the rail "Time to get myself a husband then... right?"
"I'm afraid so my lady..."
"Then let's go..."
-Another one's POV-
'She doesn't want to marry huh? I think that would sound interesting to someone I know… this will ease our work…' I thought as I stretched myself and stood up "let's go…"
-Normal POV-
As Marion was leaving, she quickly turned around to face the balcony again and stared, then muttered "I could swear I heard someone repeat what I just said... nah, I must be my mind playing tricks to me... this stupid marriage thing is making me loose my sanity..."
"Hurry up Miss. Marion"
"Yes, yes I know..." said Marion and finally left the room.
