Universal Sweetheart
Book 1
Chapter 3
The Devil's Game
Cylest closed the door behind her and walked over to her bed. The rest of the day after meeting with her new bodyguard was awful, she returned back to class and was given nothing more stares accompanied by whispers. After school was over she was carried home by her limousine escorted once again by police officers on bike. Cylest was just nothing but annoyed on her way back to the mansion.
She was firstly greeted by her maidens at the door but she was too tired to associate with them.
Then by Amay, but she was too tired to acknowledge her.
Then on her way to the east wing, her father, but she was too busy to divert her attention too such a low ranked being.
Now she needed to go there she needed to go to her special area, she needed that place, to be in that surrounding, but before she could do that, her left wrist and her side ached in pain and agony. She pulled of the vest accompanied by her shirt. Standing in the full length mirror that showed her bruised side that was revealed.
Just a little bit closer, and I'd end up seeing blood
She retrieved from her closet, her first aid kit and dressed her bruised side and tended to her wound. The maids could have done it but in this situation she felt more self-dependent in doing what had to be done. It was in no time that she reached her personal area in the mansion where no one could enter but her and Amay.
She walked up to the huge door almost twice her height and ridiculously big. She walked over beside the door that had an insert code section. She dialed in the code and the huge doors opened to reveal the beautiful scenery of the hidden room in the mansion.
It was her own and very special personalized inside forest. It was beautiful. The see-through glass ceiling and the huge trees with vines growing around them. The entire place was crowed, sorry, invaded by nature.
It was beautiful. You could hear the chirping birds, see them fly above the tree and hear a man made waterfall not far off in the distance. Cylest called it, 'the essence of nature' aka 'where-I-go-when-i'm-pissed-/-upset-/-or sad- place'
It took no time for Cylest's little bird to fly and land on her shoulder.
"Hey there little one. Are you willing to follow me to my fountain?
It chirped and she gave a weary smile.
A new little friend.
She turned to Amay.
"If you please"
"As you wish Master Cylest"
"Thank-", she paused in her sentence, "What did you call me"
Amay looked up from her bow
"In order to keep formalities and to acknowledge you properly-"
"It's okay"
Cylest walked off.
Now I have no time for that I need to get there I needed to reach there.
Cylest came up to a huge pool. In the middle, it was crowded with about 7 trees in a circle, this part of her indoor forest was known as the heart.
She stepped into the pool; it got deeper and deeper as she went in, though it merely reached her a little above her waist when she reached the center of the pool.
She walked through a gap in one of the trees and turn around to see the fountain in the middle. The space could be in comparison to the size of a regular bathroom, not small, but enough to please her.
She sat in the water and leaned over resting her head in her arms and began to cry. She pulled her feet's up to her chest as she swallowed do a teaspoon of reality. She was truly someone to fear, holding the reputation of someone fearful; also with the way she treated and acted with people. She was brave, strong, triumphant, but the truth was that deep inside she was…weak.
The day flashed passed her eyes, the way she acted in class, her threat to the teacher, and the way she acted to tonfa-dude. How long will it continue, how long will she have to keep up the acted, all she wanted to do was to live a normal life, all she earned today was more hatred, more disgust and it's all she could feed on, all she could take in. It became a part of her daily ritual. Hate, punish, hurt, pity and then in return she'd consume their hatred. They all hated her, she could feel it, and it was there, the never ending hatred.
The thing that pained her most was not only at school, but at home.
The truth was those people in the mansion, Sir Victorian and Mistress Elodea, they weren't her parents, and maybe you'd think that means she wasn't royalty, the truth was, she is, but they….weren't. After witnessing her entire family being assassinated, her father's twin brother adopted her as his own, and pretended to hold the kingdom until Cylest was old enough to control it.
No one knew about the family being killed other than Her mother's family. The outside believed that Sir Victorian simply took the hand of another woman, but the truth was he wasn't even Sir Victorian, he was the twin brother that wasn't chosen to take the linage. Only Amay her servant who served her from she was a child, knew everything about the twisted fate. She too witnessed the crime. But Cylest was the one, who witness it all.
But this was worse, how could she continue the dynasty, leading it as the head ruler until she would bear a child. She was scared, she was weak, although she had acquired intelligence, skillful talents, she was spectacular because...she had it, but the emotional division of having the power to control and the strength to carry on an ongoing era and also to represent the previous 46 generation that had served as one of the great noble families of the queen, would she have to put on another show of act, another facade?
She rubbed her eyes, Amay was now standing behind her and she had sensed her presence.
"Amay, you are the only person I have, what should I do?
The tears strolled down her cheeks
"Use you armor my mistress"
She knelt down and hugged her master
" But,I am so tired, of this mask; I don't even like the people at my school or this so called life"
She expounded on the word 'life', gesturing to the area around her
"Aren't you satisfied with –?"
"Yes but I'd rather if father was here"
Amay looked down on her young master. There was pity in her eyes as she stared down at the beautiful 16 year old that was trembling in her arms, wet with red nose.
She hasn't grown, she hasn't grown at all, has 10 years really passed by so quickly, since, that incident.
"Master Cylest, weeping won't work, as Cylest, my worthy sacrifice; you need to spread your wings and fly."
Cylest looked back up at her, drying her tears.
"You always say that"
"I always will"
Cylest smiled.
It was only in this area that Amay got the chance to speak to Cylest without using formalities. Cylest had asked not to use formalities but instead to be herself.
A silence pulled on to reduce the tension that was in the air.
"Now that we are in here, let me ask you again young master. Would you like to discuss your day?"
"Fine"
Cylest told her about the entire day, speaking about the ridiculous stares,she spoke about tonfa-dude which led her to pointing out her bruised wrist, that since she showed Amay she didn't take her eyes off it, even while Cylest made signs and gestures with hands while she spoke her day, Amay repeatedly maked a mental note to herself to tend to the wound once she returned to the room.
"So, How about I tell you what is going to happen for your afternoon"
"What" she said
"You have a meeting with Hibari Kyoya in the next hour and a half, followed by the signing of the documents you father has reviewed considering the estates purchases and the well care of the business company, also you have a –"
"Tonfa-dude"
"He was quite curious" Cylest said
"As you explained it seems your father has a tight grip on him" Amay replied
"Exactly, even after offering twice as much on the deal he still went against it in order to cancel the met"
"Your father never fails in finding what matters most to people and use it against them"
"Mm him, that bastard"
Both laughed. Cylest stared up at Amay. Amay looked the same as he did 10 years ago, she still had thin brown her, with her thin lips and a quite average figure.
Amay's beeper came on and she was needed in the maiden's quarter
"I'll have to take my leave now"
"I understand"
And with that Amay left Cylest in the fountain as she gazed up at her little fountain spring.
Cylest spent the next hour watering some flowers and playing with her fluffy bird. She walked through the forest enjoying her free time when suddenly Amay stormed in.
"Young master! Your guest is waiting"
"Eh"
"Hibari Kyoya"
"Oh…Tonfa-dude"
Hibari was seated in a huge room, he was pissed and upset. Having to take time from his afternoon to come to this huge mansion and wait for what seemed like half an hour. He swore, as she stepped through that door he was going to hit her.
Sadly when the door opened Amay stepped in instead, followed by Cylest with a bunch of papers in her hand.
Great not only do I have him to do but all these estates to sign off.
"So" She said sitting down into the chair while crossing her legs. She was in a puffy white shirt with a long foot length read skirt that started a little below her bosom. Her brown hair up did with a few strands at the front and the bunned ponytail had a huge red bow that matched her skirt. She wore a thick layer of red lipstick on her lips that made them look more cursive. She practically looked like the daughter of a count from the late Elizabethan era.
She decided to sign off some of the papers while she talked with him for the while. She was multitasked but her agility wasn't one that was most likely up to date
Damn 315 estates, she glanced up from the sheet of papers of the first stack.
"Firstly let's play a game"
"I not interested with anymore of your tricks"
"Don't worry; this game is only against time"
She took up a hour glass
"An hour, to go through all of this"
He didn't reply, he just stared at the hour glass that was now started to move when she rested it on the table
"Yesterday you were given a chance and sadly you failed" she glanced at him with a smile on her face as she said this.
She's practically rubbing it in
"As of tomorrow you'll be accompanying me to school, which includes, being here in the morning to carry me to school and bringing me back home safely"
"…"
"Do you understand?"
He sat there giving her that dead ass stare, He didn't like being looked down at and worse, controlled, but he had to risk his dignity, something special to him was at risk.
"Do you understand?" She said irritated hating having to repeat herself.
He sighed.
"Yes"
"Hmph, for a second there I thought you were going to call me he- "
"-herbivore" he finished, both his and hers sentence
She giggled while her eyebrow twitched covering it with sarcasm
"You seem to enjoy calling people that, it makes me wonder, is it the only thing in your vocabulary"
She smiled and continued
"How about Jackass and dimwit and worthless and piece of shit, wait, those one more likely suit you"
She giggled once more
Forget the contract, I'm killing this bitch.
Cylest flashed through the papers and now she was on her next document, the first thing she saw was so frightening she said it out loud
"NAMIMORI TOWN ON THE WAITING LIST!"
Hibari wasn't surprised.
"Father is planning to buy the entire town and sell it! I mean, it is by right property of the queen but why take it back when that was so many years ago"
She glanced up at Hibari who was looking straight at her. Just then something popped up in her mind.
"Hey, wait, HI-BA-RI" She sounded out his name
"That's your last name! and the name of the late family who founded this land!"
"But it was already discovered by the" she continued but paused, everything was falling into place.
She then saw Hibari get up and walked over to the window that gave a wide view of the entire Namimori town.
"So that's what he used against you"
She got up and trailed his steps ending near the window directly behind him.
"He's using your pride, your dignity, your possession"
"Isn't he your father" he said
"Is he my father?" she replied turning the statement into a question.
"What I want to ask, is how you blocked my attack"
"Oh... well"
She went back and sat down, this time in the seat he was sitting; now she was facing him as he leaned against the window pane.
"I learned how to fight using close combat, but not everyone is perfect… My close combat has fault, I only can defend"
A smirk flashed across Hibari's face. Her eyes sharpened as she stared at him
"But that doesn't mean…" She took up the butter knife and flung it off Hibari heading straight for his head.
"…I don't know how to attack"
Effortlessly he caught the knife by the handle and turned to her.
"Why" he asked.
"I caught a glance of your smirk, wanting to use my weakness as an advantage?"
"For what now?" he said with a smile he had been caught.
She walked back up to him, this time closer facing him leaving barely space between their chests
"For what now you ask? of course, to kill me, but that...won't be happening"
He felt something on his wrist followed by a clicking sound.
He looked down to see what looked like a bracelet on his hand, but no, this wasn't a bracelet, it was some sort of, tracking device.
"The approximate range is at the same distance of our houses apart, anymore further, and your side of the contract falls"
He gritted his teeth
"Also your under surveillance 22/7 and any problems is immediately reported and also, If I die-"
Her voice became softer and she leaned on to him
"This device was made so that once my heartbeat stops for more than 5 minutes; it sends a shock signal damaging your pulse, killing you with over 200 volts through your body"
"Isn't that a little too much herbivore?"
"As my personal bodyguard, you're not even supposed to be living miles away from me"
There was a knock on the door.
"You may enter"
Elodea strolled in to find her daughter inches away from the wickedly handsome teen.
She gasped.
Crap, is she going to talk about the clothes, I already used half my confidence to make it out the room door, then to talk to tonfa-due, what now, she pulls out a dress from one of those hidden closets around the house (no like seriously, somehow when her mother saw her in something she didn't like she would offer her a dress from out the middle of nowhere!)
"Cylest!" she said reaching over to where they were standing in what seemed like seconds
Oh no here it comes, She whined in her mind
"If you told me your new personal bodyguard you didn't want was so cute, I would have taken him up instead"
She said flirting rubbing her body against him.
Cylest entire body cracked into pieces, she was going to vomit
Hibari on the other hand saw it as normal, he stood there in his general posture with his hand folded across his chest in a lay-back yet demanding stance.
But who was this woman, it didn't take long for his question to be answered
"Mother what are you doing here?"
"Visiting my daughter what else"
Oh, their family, seems like Cylest was the first to realize it was a shitty family and I don't know, started living.
Cylest made a mental note to herself, never bring strangers home.
"Oh my God what are you wearing?"
She turned to face her mother who was staring at her in disgust
"Put on something better, like to bring up your cleavage and your hips"
"Mother!" Does she realize she's standing right beside a boy, plus, when is she going to let go of his hand, it's almost like a clinging 5 year old or something.
"You look like the young Integra from the hellsing organization or something"
Cylest gasped, she didn't even know who the hell that was!
"Let go of him"
"Why"
Cylest shot her mother a glance, from Elodea's point of view, a dark wave of aura was around Cylest
She backed off and went to the door
"Fine, but your nothing but mean"
She closed the door behind her
"And you nothing but a (censored words, not allowed on fan fiction, sorry)" She said under her breath
A bag of herbivores, Hibari thought
"Oh yea," Cylest said turning around," I'll ask that you refrain from calling me a herbivore"
His eyebrow twitched
"Cylest is okay"
"Pfft"
"Now...kindly..."
She gave a way too sarcastic smile.
"Take your leave"
That was it, that was the last straw, he is going to kill her, and really nice, making sure he enjoyed every last moment too.
"What gives you the power to tell me what to do?" He said get ready to slam her head into the wall, he pulled up his sleeves
"The contract, the fact you're in my house and the hour glass"
He turned to see the last spec of sand, fall into the bottom section.
Mental thought for leaving
Hibari's reason: 0
Cylest's reason: 3
Bing Bing Bing, Cylest wins
"Well your stupid game is nothing but over" and with that he walked over to the door.
"Over? We merely ran out of time "She said in a correcting tone
"Don't stray too far, a lot of my bodyguards die in a day you know"
He didn't even glance behind his shoulder; he just gritted his teeth and slammed the door behind him.
She sighed, but this was followed by a devilish grin.
"How delightful, it seems, like my game has actually just begun"
