Shinji Manor
Chapter Two: RazzBerries and Secrets
~Dawn's POV~
My hands shook as I poured the wine into Kenny's cup. I cleared my throat and tried to hide my face.
"Anything else?" I said sweetly and looked around at the table.
Paul just looked at me emotionlessly. I took that as a no. I bit my lower lip.
"May I have another…steak?" Ashton said still munching on a chicken drumstick.
I raised my brow towards Kenny.
"I'm fine, thank you." He looked at me curiously. I blushed and turned away, hoping not to spark any interest. Unfortunately, it did.
"Hey, Paul. Who's this?" Kenny said gesturing his thumb towards me.
"Her name is Dawn. She is my maid." He said flatly, his eyes still emotionless.
"Really? What is you're last name?" He smiled, trying to fake his actual confused self.
"Berlitz." I smiled towards him, acting better than him.
"Oh, you remind me a lot of Dawn Hikari." He chirped. "You know, she is my fiancée." He replied and looked down at his food.
I grunted and forced a smile. "Well, isn't that nice?" I grimaced.
Paul raised a brow towards me, and I rolled my eyes like it was obvious.
"Trust me. There is no way that a Hikari would be in Shinji Manor." Paul mused, locking his eyes with mine.
I threw him a glare and continued to stand there. Why of all days did it have to be today where he came for a meeting? I groaned inwardly and turned back to Kenny.
"So, have you had any maid training?" He asked. I was sure he was completely unconvinced.
"Yes, actua-," I started, but Paul cut me off.
"She was working for Sir Damion." Paul hissed his name and pushed his plate aside.
"Really? Than you must have been very quiet because I visited his place often." He closed his eyes and inhaled.
I bit my lower lip, but continued to stand, hoping that they would eat faster. Drew stood there, spacing out. He was probably thinking about May.
"Um, yeah I was. I was never up front. I wasn't the best maid he had." I replied quickly.
"Right…" He nodded and chewed his food slower than usual.
I growled inwardly, preparing to rip his head off, but I didn't want to do that because he was the head of a business and my family will be shamed.
"You know, I have recently heard that Dawn Hikari has run away from her home. They are searching for her everywhere." Kenny said again after finished his last bite if food.
"Well, I will keep an eye out for someone who looks like me." I chuckled nervously. I looked at the corner of my eyes to see Paul smirking.
I rolled my eyes at him he seemed to notice and his smirk widened.
"So, what's for dessert?" Ashton asked as he wiped his mouth. He had already eaten twelve plated of food, and he was still hungry for dessert? My mouth dropped open, but I quickly closed it and realized that Kenny and Paul were also both looking at me intently.
"Oh, yes. Tonight's dessert is a specialty chocolate soufflé made by our chefs." I said with a curtsy.
"Lovely." Ash clapped his hands and smiled.
I smiled back and nudged Drew in the gut. "Dessertssss." I hissed at him. He jumped and speed walked back to the kitchen.
It was silent for a long while until Kenny broke the silence with the weirdest question. "You don't happen to know her right?" He furred his brow trying to think.
"Um, not really…no, sorry." I gave a sad smile and turned away. My eyes met Paul's which were giving me a weird look.
Does Paul know something? I thought to myself. He must have noticed me thinking because he smirked.
"Is something wrong?" He asked in a low voice.
"N-nothing!" I stammered and shot him a glare.
He sighed and looked away.
Ash and Kenny gave us a funny look, but brushed it off.
"Soufflé!" Drew shouted as he burst into the room carrying three plates of chocolate soufflés.
My mouth watered at the look, but I clamped it shut to prevent myself for attack anyone for it.
Paul caught my expression and smirked. He waved the spoon in my face, but ate the first bite of soufflé. I growled, but turned away quickly to avoid any attention.
After they had all finished, they chatted pleasantly for a longer while and stood up to retire for the day.
"That was pleasant today." Ashton quoted and patted his stomach, which hadn't gotten any rounder to my surprise.
"Yes, quite." Kenny said slowly. He nodded towards drew and picked my hand up. He placed a gentle kiss on it and bidded me farewell.
"Good night DeeDee." He smiled and waved behind his shoulder.
I brief flash of anger passed through my face, but I controlled it as quickly as I could. Kenny looked at me and smirked, getting one step closer to knowing that I was a Hikari.
I sighed and trudged to my room slowly.
"Can you move any slower?" A deep voice from behind me growled.
"Whoa, who put the stick up your ass?" I grumbled angrily and picked up my pace a bit more.
"NO ONE. NOW MOVE IT." Paul hissed and attempted to bypass me.
"Uh-huh, and you're not the boss of me at this hour, because I'm going to sleep." I rubbed my eyes and continuously blocked his path.
He growled furiously and glared at me. "Fine, I can change that. Remember. I can do whatever I want." He whispered in my ear.
I twitched and moved out of the way for him reluctantly.
As I entered my room, I found a note on the table.
Dear New Maid,
I'm happy to say that you will be taking the night shifts for the first few months. Don't be late. OH, right and the sound of the bell means that I need something. Right.
-Paul
I hissed angrily at the tone that he used and slipped on a night gown. "I'm going to kil-," I began angrily, but was cut off by the sound of a bell. Great. Just lovely. I thought sarcastically and rolled my eyes.
I exited my room quietly and knocked on Paul's door.
"In. Now." He growled.
I hissed and flung open the door. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" I snarled angrily.
"Wow, who put the stick in your ass?" He grunted, playing with my words.
"You! Ugh!" I groaned angrily. "What do you need?" I snapped.
"To talk." He replied flatly.
"About?" I shot back.
"You." He snorted and gestured towards the seat across from him. I slowly made my way towards the seat and sat down in it, keeping my eyes locked with his the whole time.
"Well?" I raised a brow.
Paul inhaled. "You're not a maid. Let's just say that."
"How do you know?" I snorted and threw up my head arrogantly.
"One, because I know. Two, because maid's don't act like you." He snorted.
"Yeah. How do you know?" I rolled my eyes.
"Because I know who you are." He retorted.
"How?" I questioned.
"Remember?" He asked raising a brow.
"No." I hissed. "Is that all you wanted to talk about?" I sighed.
Paul's brows furred, a scowl was painted across his face. "How do you not remember? Think, think." He said softly.
Too softly. It was kind of weird.
"Just think about it Hikari." He snorted.
I gasped. "How do you know I-," I stopped in mid-sentence and slapped my hand over my mouth.
Paul just smirked. "Please, it's so easy to tell, the way you were being interrogated by Kenny, The way you adored the chocolate soufflé, the way you got angry when Kenny called you DeeDee." I would know.
"You're not…" I trailed off. "You're not that…no you…can't be." My eyes widened as memories flooded back into my head.
Flash Back-:
"Dawn, meet Paul, he is a Shinji. He will be your playmate for a while." My mom smiled down at me. She stood next to a pretty purple haired lady.
"Hi!" I smiled.
"Hey." The little lavender haired boy scowled.
"Is something wrong?" I asked curiously.
Paul shook his head and closed his eyes. "No, it's just that I want to explore your house." He said curiously.
"Hey, we should go play outside! It's a lot bigger and we can explore more!" I shouted and extended my arms out to show how big it was.
The boy smiled and nodded as I dragged him to the backyard. I was quiet since most of the gardeners were done at this time of day.
"We should play maid and master!" I thought up randomly from the top of my head.
Paul gave me a strange look. "Why would we want to play that?"
I shrugged casually and tugged on his sleeve. "What about house?" I pouted and looked at the boy with sad eyes.
"Fine…" He sighed and looked at me questioningly. "How do we play?" He asked slowly, a blush rose to his face.
"It's easy silly! I will be the wife, and you'll be the husband!" I chirped and grabbed an eggplant from the garden. "This will be out baby!" I giggled and cradled the eggplant in my arms.
The boy shrugged and blew his bangs out of the way. "Um…" He started, but nothing particular was said.
"The baby wants you to hold him!" I cried excitedly and shoved the eggplant into his hands. He furred his brows and looked at me, then at the eggplant.
"Uh…" He continued and pretended to bounce the baby.
"HEY! YOU TWO! GET OUT OF THE GARDEN!" A loud voice boomed.
Paul and I jumped and dropped the eggplant on the ground. We both craned our necks at the same moment to see one of the gardeners furiously advancing towards us with a stick.
"Run!" I whispered and dashed towards the woods, Paul followed behind me closely.
"He's following us!" Paul yelled to me. I nodded, but stumbled over a root on the ground, causing me to scrape my knee.
I whimpered a bit, biting my lip to prevent tears from falling. Paul stopped and ran back towards me before the gardener came.
"Are you okay!" He stuttered and tried to help me up. I ended up falling back down again from the stinging pain.
I winced in pain when I fell on my butt. "The monster is coming, go!" I cried hoping that he could escape first.
He shook his head and hissed when the gardener stepped on a twig.
"Brats don't play in the garden." The gardener snarled, raising his stick in the air.
"Well, we do!" Paul said defensively and stood in front of me. I whimpered and grabbed onto the back of his shirt.
The gardener 'tsked' "You kids need to be taught a lesson." He growled, slamming the stick in Paul's gut.
Paul wheezed and glared up at the gardener.
"Don't pick on little kids!" I shouted angrily and stomped on the ground. Paul's eyes widened and gave me the 'don't-do-that' look. I ignored it and snapped towards the gardener.
"It is uncouth for a lowly gardener to order around the higher beings. Don't you ever dare lay a finger on us again, or you will witness excruciating pain!" I said calmly, giving the best death glare that I could throw at the moment.
The gardener stumbled backwards and stood there shocked to realize who we were. "I apologize. I didn't realize that you were Lady Hikari and Sir Shinji!" He bowed low and stuttered.
"It is unacceptable. I never what to see your face again, and I expect to see your resignation papers on the table by six at dawn tomorrow, if not, I will explain what 'incident' we had here." I hissed making the gardener back away from us.
"Yes Lady." He squeaked and ran off in the other direction to the garden.
I turned to Paul who was on the ground with a frightened look plastered on his face. He looked quite pale.
I kissed him gently on the lips and giggled. "That is what a real husband would do!" I smiled and helped him up. "Thank you, I'm sorry we got in this mess." I frowned and looked at the boy.
The boy nodded, but a scowl was still present on his face.
"Hey, are you okay?" I said worriedly and tried to read the boys expression.
"Yes. I just have some trouble breathing, or something." He responded quickly with a blush.
I smiled. "You're like my husband! We should get engaged and have ten children!" I held up both my hands to show the ten fingers.
Paul's eyes widened and looked shocked. "T-ten?" He stuttered, the blush growing more visible.
"Promise?" I asked holding my pinky out.
"J-Just not the ten children." He mumbled and locked his pinky with mine.
I giggled loudly and gave him a peck on the cheek. "We should probably get back, because our mommies will be scared if we are gone for so long."
"Yeah, my mommy will give me a big bear hug!" Paul smiled and extended his arms as wide as he could to emphasize the greatness of it.
When we got back, indeed our mothers were worried. They gave us death hugs and exhaled a large amount of air. I kept quiet about the gardener thing and about our engagement so when we grew up, it would be a secret.
End of Flashback!
Paul sighed and rubbed his temples. "I guess you remember now?" He exhaled and stood up from his spot on the bed.
He wore his boxers and his unbuttoned undershirt. I blushed and looked away.
"Very ungentlemanly." I muttered and looked the other direction.
"But is it like a husband?" He asked and raised a brow.
I flushed a shade of crimson and scowled. "How should I know?" I muttered.
"You knew," He raised a brow. "When I saved you from that gardener." He smirked, making me remember the past.
"That was when I was five!" I stammered and glared at Paul, only to blush again.
He looked at me strangely and continued to talk. "I take that you can't get married to me anymore?" He said flatly and kept his eyes locked with mine.
"I didn't choose to!" I whined, looking up at him as he loomed over me.
He slammed his hand into the wall and placed his other on behind is back. "Then why don't we get engaged?" He asked with a scowl.
"M-my p-parents will kill me." I shuttered as he got closer to my face. He leaned over to my ear.
"I can make it all happen." He whispered. His hot breath made my hair stand on its ends. "I can make it real," He continued slightly nipping my ear.
I covered my face to try to hide the blush. He just ignored my action and looked at me with lustful eyes.
"Ten children is possible." He licked the inside of my ear. I turned as red as a tomato and pushed him away. He stumbled backwards, but caught his footing.
"Um…goodnight Sir Shinji." I grumbled and quickly made my way towards the door. I didn't bother to look back, but I knew that there was a frown on his face.
I slipped out the room and made my way back to my bed.
What the hell was that? I frowned to myself and slumped onto my bed. He's so different…what happened to him? I sighed sadly and tucked myself in the covers.
I still love him, it's just weird…I don't know if I should love him, or be loyal to my parents, but I…don't know…I just don't know…I trailed off in my thoughts, slowly closing my eyelids, until I fell into slumber.
The sound of a knock on the door made me rub my eyes groggily. "GET UP!" A loud voice boomed from outside.
I groaned and scrambled out from my covers. The cold breeze made me shiver slightly. I trudged slowly to the door opened it a crack to see the irritated face of Drew.
"Is there something that you need?" I grumbled, not particularly a morning person.
"Yes, I am actually going back to visit May as a vacation. I need you to take care of Pau-err…Sir Shinji for a few weeks." He grumbled and fumbled with a few buttons on his shirt.
I growled and glowered at him. "Since. When. Was. This. Decided?"
He looked at me and sighed. "You never asked, and I have to go now, so bye." Drew waved his hand behind his shoulder and dashed off towards the front door.
"Argh, why did he leave?" I hissed and stormed over to Paul's room. I slammed open the door to see him sleeping stiffly in the bed.
"WAKE UP!" I roared, not bothering to sweet talk.
He sat up stonily and gave me one of the scariest glares I've seen yet. His eyes were narrowed to slits, his dark bangs created a shadow on his face, and a dark aura surrounded him.
I sighed and ignored the frightening aura he emitted and hissed at him. "WAKE UP." I repeated, hoping that he would actually get out of bed this time.
I growled loudly when he slumped back into his bed and hid his head underneath a pillow. "GET UP OR I'LL DRAG UP OUT OF YOU'RE BED!" I bellowed and stormed over to him.
I furiously grabbed his shirt and yanked him out of the bed. He landed roughly on the ground and groaned.
"Geez, I was just trying to sleep." He grumbled and lazily slipped off his shirt.
I blushed and turned away. I stared at the door and grumbled to myself angrily.
After Paul finished changing, he headed towards the dining hall, and I followed silently. He stopped abruptly, sending me crashing into his back.
He turned around and looked at me with a dull expression and turned around back to the dining hall.
I followed him quickly, but let a distance come between us in case we bumped into each other.
I watched carefully as he pivoted his feet and strolled into the dining room. The table was set for one. This time, I just kept quiet.
"Breakfast." He grumbled sleepily, his eye lids started to drop slowly.
Someone rushed into the room, placed the food on the table, and left as quickly as they could.
He looked down at his food and sighed. "I don't want to eat."
I glared at him suspiciously. "You need to eat or else you won't have any nutrients to think at all today Paul." I said slowly.
"Don't call me Paul. It's Master for you." He a small smirk played on his lips.
I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists. "Yesss, Masster." I hissed.
He sat back in his chair contently and folded his arms behind his head. He yawned and looked at me with half closed eyes.
"I still don't want to eat." He protested.
"Eat." I started simply.
"No." He replied bluntly.
"EAAAT!" I whined and stomped my foot on the ground.
"No." He yawned again, stifling it with one hand before he folded it back behind his head.
"If you don't eat, I'll have to force feed you!" I shouted, advancing towards him.
"Fine by me." He smirked.
I picked up the fork and stabbed the first thing that I saw, which was a razzberry. I held it to his mouth and glared at him.
He parted his lips, closed his eyes and ate the fruit rather gratefully. Before I could pull away and fork up another one, Paul grabbed my wrist and smashed his lips with mine.
I mentally screamed, but relaxed a bit and breathed. The tangy taste of razzberries entered my mouth.
I had realized that Paul had slipped his tongue into my mouth secretly, making me taste the fruit. His tongue swirled around mine once before he pulled away.
I pulled away soon after and huffed angrily. "Don't do that." I hissed, but my blood defied my feelings and sent itself to my cheeks.
Paul smirked and started to eat his own food.
I scowled the whole time he ate and grumbled to myself quietly.
"There is going to be a masquerade party, and you are invited. It's in three days and it'll be from eight PM to one in the morning." He finished and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"As Dawn Hikari or Dawn Berlitz?" I raised a brow.
"Hikari." He smirked and stood up from his chair.
I groaned. "What if someone catches me, they'll think I'm trying to elope with you or something."
"Are you?" He snorted and turned away, heading towards his office.
"Maybe….." I said subconsciously. "WAIT I MEAN NO!" I stammered loudly, making my voice echo through the corridors.
He snickered and entered the office to see someone sitting on his chair. His red hair stood out against the black interior of the room.
"What are you doing here?" Paul growled and glared at the person.
The chair swiveled around to reveal someone who looked a lot like Paul. He blew his red bangs out of his face and smirked. He simply pointed at me and growled at Paul.
"I'm just taking what's rightfully mine." The person smirked towards me.
"Get out Silver!" Paul hissed.
I stood there in confusion. Paul…or Silver…who was it in my memories?
