At this world where nobles and commoners up to the royals are born, which each has special abilities, though only a few of this people not all, it will go through blood line to generations. There are different types of soul which each of us rarely has; it is based from what we truly are. One struck out the most the rarest which holds power that everyone wants, it is also the cause of arguments for only a few of chosen people to have this—grigori soul— it is a different type of soul different from the regulars, though the people who has this may use this in a good or a bad way, thus the problems came, as a few says its starts at the bloodline of the high royals, and now I shall begin the story as the truths unravels itself from its hidden shadows...
There stood a lovely young woman, no older than twenty or eighteen to be exact, she wore a commoner's dress which is a daily clothing for all the public, though she always want to be simple therefore she wore a green British dress reached above her ankles in order for her to walk swiftly, her shoes are simple it can be used also for running though she has to be careful. Her wavy long ash-blonde hair was in a braid, she was wearing her ivory cream hat, slightly hiding those emerald green gems that everybody would want to see, her curves were refined, showing it through her lovely dress, her chest were not that big though enough to be noticed.
She is an eye-catching woman, people say she looks like the moon goddess, many young nobles and commoners stop just to eye her beauty, though she never truly trust men she is one powerful young women I say she can fight, and talk fiercely, as everybody say she can be sweet as an innocent angel, yet she can be ruthless as a young demon. When she smiles, everybody seem to halt and picture it in their minds, though under those lovely and enticing smiles, hides the grief she tried to imbed deeper within her heart, because she thinks it will make her weak, though her past is what the story they tell is the most, depressing of all.
They found a girl near the seashore, lying unconsciously at the ground, she was a little girl, such innocent face, she was wearing a heart locket necklace that says, Maka at the back and a symbol of a rose, and at the front of the heart locket was a small keyhole, it seems that it can be opened, as the men took the young child at the nearby hospital a woman took the child in, as they examine her—she was okay— the little girl woke up hours later, the nurse came and said.
"How are you feeling sweetie?" The nurse asked which has a lovely sweet voice.
"I'm okay miss, but wh-where am I?" The little girl Maka confused asked the nurse.
"You're at the hospital sweetie; do you remember your name? My name's Minori." The nurse said then smiled, though she may know the little girl's name but she wanted to check if she remembers, somehow it took the little girl a while to process and then she answered.
"Ma- Maka... Yeah Ma-ka" The little girl said, the nurse smiled relieved.
"Uhmm... Miss nurse? why am I here?" Maka asked
"Sweetie we found you unconscious near the seashore, do you remember what happened to you?"
"N-no... "
"Oh dear..." Minori said this surprised. Maka started to cry though it seems that Minori didn't want to see such a cute little girl cry.
"Sweetie don't cry, why don't you come with me? I can be your mommy." Minori said and smiled, though Minori may not have a family yet but she has a husband.
"Re- really?" The little girl asked, her eyes shining.
"Really. I have a husband that will really want a new member in our family." Minori's eyes shone for she really wanted to have daughter though the doctors said it was a risk to have a child.
"Thank you miss nurse." Maka said and smiled brightly to the woman in front of her, who seems to love this cute little girl.
"You can call me Mama." Minori suggested and gave her a big smile, as Maka heard the word 'mama' she had a flash back of a woman's voice, though she shrugged it off.
"Okay... Mama." Maka said and smiled to her new mother
As soon as Maka was checked out, Minori introduced her to her husband, Hotei, Maka was a four year old girl, the husband of Minori welcomed Maka with open arms, he loved Maka like she's his own daughter, he loved being a father, therefore he proudly calls himself the father of a young beautiful girl, they have a family business, it's a hatter shop, where they make hats, Maka was taught by her mother sewing, Maka took this as a hobby therefore she helps at the shop, she makes hats for her father and also for her mother.
This happy family continued on for years, but one tragic event that sends there life tumbling down. Minori and Hotei went over-seas they say just for a few days, but when Maka went to pick them up at the fair, she found the bodies of her parents covered by white sheets, she cried hysterical she was still young to lose both of her parents.
At this time Maka had run her life all alone, the hatter shop was still hers therefore working in it for her whole life, though she needs help so Maka hired workers. They were more like best friends to her now, as she hired Kim and Jacqueline, she also has this sweet mother like woman— Marie, she takes care of the shop —when Maka's not around— Marie is like a mother to her, though she really loved children no matter whom they really are.
As of now Maka is inside her workshop, sewing the sequins, of the hat as she was sewing someone entered her room and said to her.
"Maka sweetheart, you sure you don't want to go?" Marie asked Maka just smiled then replied.
"It's alright, you go have fun"
"But Maka the shop is closed you don't have to work anymore" Jacqueline gave her a sad smile.
"Yeah Maka I know you love this shop but why don't you join us just this once" Kim begged with a convincing pout on her face. Maka just giggled.
"I'm fine. I have lots of things to do anyway, you go and have fun." Maka quietly said and smiled warmly to them.
"Alright, but next time we invite you to come I won't take no for an answer." Kim demanded. Maka just smiled at her.
"Alright." They left as they said there farewells', as Maka was about done with the sequins of the hat she sighed then hopped off of the tall stool chair, she brushed the white apron for any threads, she then untied it to her dress and then got her hat.
She went out and locked the shop, she walked through the streets and waved to the people, she was quite known to the towns people, seeing that she was a kind hearted woman and beautiful in anyways, she stepped into a full bus, then moments later she arrived at the restaurant where Mifune was working at as security, they met once when Maka was being mobbed and he saved her, she came to get his little girl Angela for she acts as her guardian since most of the time Mifune travels, being a security in a restaurant was not just his job, though she never knew what he was doing.
"Mifune!" Maka waved at him, there beside him was little Angela who she now takes care of too.
"Oh, Maka. How are you doing? Hope you are not over working again." Mifune told her as he sets Angela to her feet, who immediately ran to her screeching her name — well that's what it sounds in their ears — and hugged her well her lower half.
"Hi Angela. I'm fine Mifune, and I'm not over working myself."
"Well alright, I'm leaving again. I'm sorry Maka, but this time it may take a long while before I both see you again." Mifune stood and hugged her. Both her and Angela who was in Maka's arms.
"Well just stay alive for us Mifune! Okay?" Maka smiled at him including Angela.
"Okay." Mifune stared at her warm smile and returned it with a small grin.
"Oh! Maka! You're here! Great timing one of our waitresses went home and we really need your help!" Mei who was the head staff of the huge five star restaurant came out looking as haggard as she could be.
"Oh... Uhm, sure. Mifune what time will you be leaving?" Maka asked Mifune first.
"Go help Mei, I'll handle Angela for a while, I'll be leaving no later than seven anyways."
"Okay thank you!"
"Oh! Thank you, thank you! This is really important Maka; the royals of the western land will be dining with us, and were on a full house today, so we're short on servers." Mei told her as she leads her in the dressing room where the cute short dress that was for the female servers to be worn. "Here I believe this will fit you."
"Okay and its fine at least only for a while."
Sometime later Maka was just done with her clothes and was now fixing her hair, since it was let down a while ago, it has to be on a braid now. Since she noticed all her co servers—female— hairs were styled in a French braid. Just as she was tying her hair Mei screeched her name.
"Maka! They're here! Come on out now!"
"Alright, Alright I'm coming." Maka walked out and not a second more she was dragged in front of the double doors of the restaurant.
Sound of trumpets came into her ears and immediately knew it was the royals, all of the servant including Maka bowed down. As the royals were escorted to their table, Maka followed Mei as she was instructed to greet and take their orders.
"Good evening, my name is Maka and I'll be your server for the rest of the night, shall we start with the appetizers?" Maka professionally said, with her posture straight and eyes focused. The red eyed man— Prince Soul didn't take his eyes off of her, because she reminds him of his childhood friend.
"Oh... What would you suggest dear?" Lady Evans asked her with a smile, somehow she too sees the familiarity of this woman to her dead friend from the western.
Maka then started giving them the best seller from the menu, they ended up listening to her every suggestions through the night, they were so fascinated of her, though she didn't notice this, she just let it through. By the end of their meal, the lady and lord wanted to talk to her.
"Uh dear... You look very familiar. Where are your parents?" Lady Evans asked her with a soft smile. Maka just gave her a small smile.
"They passed away, my lady." The lady said her apologies and condolences.
"Oh my... So how are you now?"
"I am quite alright my lady. I own a Hatter shop down the street of the plaza." Maka beamed as she began talking about her shop. "I inherited it from my father."
Soul was intrigued of the beautiful girl, mostly her eyes, so he decided to tease the girl a little bit.
"Hmm... So your alone? Any friends?" Soul smirked at her, satisfied with her annoyed expression. Somewhat he feels that this girl hates his guts.
"Yeah I have, my Prince." She said with such hostility. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh no reason, where's your shop again?" Although he heard where it is, he decided to ask again.
"I already told you, it's down the street of the main plaza." Maka said irritated. "My prince."
"Great! See to it that you prepare your shop, for I will visit tomorrow." Soul's smiled deepen, as he said this. "What a lovely lady you are Miss Maka."
All of them watched the interaction between the two, and felt as if they have a deep connection going. The conversation was finished as Maka excused herself and went out, picked up Angel, said her goodbyes to Mifune and walked on home.
Maka sighed at the day's events, then she touched the necklace that she never leave nor tore from her neck meaning she always wear it even though she sleeps, it's very important to her, she treasures it. It was the locket that has her name in it; somehow she really wanted to open it, though the key is not with her. It seems that whatever's inside this locket, held the truth about her, of who she really is, and who her true parents might be.
Meanwhile, somewhere at this world, a beautiful couple, stands at their balcony and watching the stars glow at night, but the woman shed down a few tears, she was looking at a picture. The picture of a man and a woman standing, the man with the red hair carrying a cute little girl, while the other woman is smiling at the girl in her husband's arms.
The woman wore a key necklace but it was tiny, she was holding it in her hands like it was the only reason she lived, the necklace has a partner. She gave it to her daughter as a gift when she turned 4 years old at the boat where they held her lovely birthday; they were a big happy family, but that day where they lost their only child. It was dreadful, the ship-wreck, at the middle of the sea, and as both of them survived but not their little girl, though this woman still has hope, that her child is still alive.
She believed that she was somewhere at this big world even though 14 years had passed, although they searched for her since they are one of the most powerful royals, as the red haired man saw his wife let out a few tears, he hugged her, and comforted her. It was hard losing a child especially when that little girl was still young.
"I miss her." Kami Albarn said, the lady of the eastern palace, she was so beautiful; she has an ash-blonde hair, and jade eyes. She's a sweet woman, and she's very understanding, she loves her people very much. That's why the eastern people worship her, she was kind and gentle, and she also has the rare type of soul the Grigori soul
"I miss her too, my only daughter." Spirit Albarn said the Lord of the Eastern palace; he was a kind man, though he became a little bit depressed because their only daughter was lost. He blames himself, though he wasn't truly the man to be blamed, he has a very strong title as the Death Scythe of shinigami-sama, the lord of all Lands, shinigami-sama, is a kind man, he loves kids, and protects them, though he is stuck in one place, because he had buried the kishin, that's why there are 3 main lands, the eastern, the western, and the land of all.
"What do you think she will be right now, is she maybe... Happy? or Hurt?" Kami said this and tried to imagine how her princess is doing right now, for now she was crying, and Spirit comforted her.
"You know... our princess will be so beautiful, and I know that she will be the eye of every noble man, but don't worry once I find my darling princess. I'll make sure that no one will be touching her." Spirit said and tried to make his wife laugh it somehow worked, because Kami chuckled.
"And I know that she won't be hurt, She is our daughter after all, and I know she's strong." Spirit said and smiled to his wife
"I just wish that she will be here, with us, if we found her... Will she remember us...? Will she accept us?"
"Of course she will, and besides, you gave her that necklace where a symbol of the Eastern resides, and you also have that key. I can feel that we will find her soon, it just takes time." Kami smiled at her husband's statement, they both looked at the stars and took their wish
"Please be safe... Maka."
A/N: Edited version of Chapter! Next chapter might be confusing (just a little bit) such as from 2 to 4 since it has not been edited yet. Not much has changed it still is the same, except Maka doesn't have a sister anymore and she's going to take care of Angela.
