ONWARDS TOWARDS READING!

Recap:

I closed my eyes and reopened them, then reached toward the doorknob. When I opened it I felt sparkles fly into my face. Wtf.

Ikuto's POV:

In front of me stood four of my favorite workers. They stood with pride and I turned to see Amu. They all stared at me and their eyes widened. I waited for them all to bow for me, but of course they didn't.

Suddenly I noticed one of them was missing. "Where's Rima?" I asked. Nagi sighed. "She left," He murmured quietly. I also sighed, irritated. What's wrong with that girl? Like, ever since she came here all she did was keep to her self. The only one she really ever talked to was Nagi. I put on my best not interested look and turned to the pink head. "We need to get you ready for your first shift tomorrow," I told her. She quickly nodded. She said bye to her new friends and we both exited the room. "Good luck Amu-chan!" Yaya cried, waving wildly towards Amu. Amu smiled at them all and waved back. I suddenly felt awkward. Why was I always left out of the commoner world? So what if I was a prince? Prince's need a social life, too.

We both walked through the halls in silence. I could feel an unsure vibe from her. Well, duh, I'm the one who saved her from the death penalty. She better be thankful. Finally she halted and bowed her head. "S-sorry!" She cried, squeezing her eyes shut. I turned around and my eyes widened to see tears prickling at the edge of her eyes. "It's all my fault!" I stared at her, shocked.

Finally my expression softened. "It's fine," I muttered, and continued walking. IKUTO YOU STINKING IDIOT! My inner thoughts screamed. You almost risked your stinking life for her and you say 'it's fine'? I sighed, looking this girl up and down. If any other person had done this to me I would beat the living daylights out of them, but for some reason, this girl was different.

Amu was looking at me with wide, shocked innocent eyes. Damn those eyes. "T-thank you!" She told me, still shocked. We walked the remainder of our three minute trip in silence, Amu staggering behind me.

Finally we arrived to a room with an elegant white door. "This is where you'll be staying," I told the pinkhead. She nodded. I waited patiently as she clumsily grabbed the handle, opening it.

Amu's POV:

I opened the doorknob, and a handful of roses flew towards my face. I scowled. First sparkles, now roses? What the hell? Those thoughts vanished when I eyed the room. "Amazing," I cooed. There was large pink bed, with ruffles all around the pillows, a gold studded lamp, an antique rug, and to top it off, a perfect view of the kingdom on a giant balcony. "You like?" Ikuto asked, turning down to me. All I could do was nod. A smirk skidded onto his face as he gracefully walked over to the closet. He opened it and gestured me to follow in. I hesitantly took a few steps into this room, overwhelmed. "So this is my room?" I choked, looking at him. "If you don't lose your job as a maid, yeah." He joked. I suddenly stopped my train of thought. Oh yeah. I'm a maid. I scowled.

I tiptoed over to the closet, trying not to make too many footprints in the silky carpet. He then took out something that made my eyes pop out of my head. He held a long, black dress, ruffles along the hems. There were white swirls twirling around it, and a cute apron. It looked so complicated and there were so many buttons and zippers my head spun. "Amazed?" He asked, an amused smirk planted on his face. I felt myself nod. "Am I supposed to wear that?" I asked stupidly. He chuckled, showing a row of flashy white teeth. I mentally slapped myself. Stupid. "How? There're so many buttons and zippers!" I cried, pointing at the fragile fabric. His smirk was still there. "Want me to help?" He purred, leaning closer to me. It took me two seconds to comprehend what he meant. "Y-y-you bloody pervert! I CAN DO IT MYSELF!" I yelled, yanking the dress out of his hands and pushing him away. "Why, Amu-koi, that's not a nice way to speak to the prince," He teased, moving back to where to he originally was. I resisted myself from growling, and turned away. "I-I'm going to change! And you don't get any ideas or I'm gonna—"Now, now, Amu-koi, no need to get feisty," He interrupted. I twitched at the koi part. "Shut it," I muttered, stalking into my closet and slammed it with all my might.

I leaned against the closet door, gripping the dress so tightly my knuckles turned white. He looks so nice and kind when he's in the public but why is he so annoying and perverted in reality? I sighed and looked down at my dress. I looked under the door and saw the prince's shoes on the other side of the room. Grrrr! I felt my heart pounding against my chest.

I changed into my new uniform, and decided to put my own little spin of it by putting a big black x-clip in my hair. I rummaged around the closet until I found a mini black tiara with tiny diamonds all over it and opened the door.

The prince was wide awake, even though it was starting to get really late. He stared at me with his mouth a gaped for a few seconds, then clamped it shut and his smirk somehow made it's way back onto his face. "Nice," He murmured, leaning onto my bed. And I just stood in front of the bed like an idiot. Now I need to wash those stinking bed sheets.

He stood up and gracefully gave me a piece of rolled up silky like paper. "You're first shift starts tomorrow, so get some rest…my little strawberry." He looked straight at me at the last part, waiting for my reaction. I huffed, grabbing the scroll out of his hand. Then I remembered something I've been wanting to ask for a pretty long time.

"What does a maid do?" He looked dumbfounded for a few seconds, his eyebrows rising in complete horror. Then his expression went back to normal. Ooooohh how I want to slap that smirk off his face! He looked both ways, which wasn't needed because we were the only to people in the room anyway. He leaned closely near my ear and whispered, "They do many things, Amu koi. In this bedroom. In this exact same spot right next to this bed." I listened intently, but when I thought he was done he just kept talking. "But you're special, strawberry," He whispered again. I felt heat rush into my cheeks. What did he mean, 'special?'

"Because, you're my personal maid." My head snapped up at him and he had a playful expression on his face. "WHAT?" I shouted, hopping a few feet away from him. He just kept smirking. "Who decided that?" He chuckled as if it was obvious. "I did." I felt thoughts swirl through my brain as I tried comprehending all this. This was so much information for one day! He took a glance at my expression and took it as his cue to leave. Even though I wanted to ask him more, I was too shocked to move. "Come to the royal ballroom at eleven o'clock sharp, or there'll be consequences," He told me, an evil glint in his eyes. "Have a good night sleep… my little strawberry," Before I could go over and rip his head off for good, he shut the door calmly. Good choice.

After a few minutes I could feel my feet again, even though they felt like jell-o. I staggered over to my bed, flopping down on it. What consequences? I didn't really want to know what was going on in his little mind. I sighed. I didn't bother to change out of my maid costume. I was Ikuto, the prince's personal maid? Why me? I didn't even know a thing about a maid. And here I was, in this gigantic castle who just talked to the prince. I felt a rush of emotions flood into me about the prince. Why did he save a poor, useless village girl like me? I shook off those thoughts, knowing I'd only confuse myself even more than I already did. I slowly let my body relax as I fell asleep. Tomorrow…is…the…day…my…life…is…changed.

I let my eyes flutter open and I examined the room for a little, confused. Where was my bed? Where was my room? I thought, having a mini panic attack. Then I looked down at my costume and sighed. Dar. I'm at the castle. Then I took a glance at the clock. 10:37 A.M. "Crap!" I cursed, hopping out of bed and slipping on my maid flats. I stood in front of my mirror, flattening out my dress and adjusting my tiara. I had to admit, I looked pretty good. This was much better than those tablecloth rags I wore at home. I grabbed the scroll, which turned out to be a map, and zoomed out the door.

I took a glance at my map and my eyebrows furrowed. I was never good with directions. Hmm, the west wing. What wing was I in? I scowled as I caught a glimpse at a grandfather clock in the royal hallways.

Finally I found a room with the sign, 'Royal Ballroom.' I huffed. Well this must be it. I straightened myself out one more time, and entered. I was surprised to see that there was nothing that flew into my face this time I opened a door.

In there, there must have been at least fifty maids. I took a look around, where gold polished over the walls and a golden marble ground. I saw a large podium and if I squinted I could see the princess standing there, impatient. When I walked in everyone stopped talking to stare.

"Ah, there you are!" Utau cried, smiling. I nodded as I walked over to her and the podium. "We've been waiting for you!" I blushed. Darn it, I'm late.

"Silence, everyone!" Utau snapped, even though nobody was talking anyway. "I'm proud to announce the arrival of our new maid—Hinamori Amu!" Everyone looked at me as if I were a goddess or something, and all I did was roll my eyes and say, "Yeah, yeah, It's me, it's me. You can clap now." Suddenly the room echoed in a burst of claps and people screaming, "cool 'n spicy!" I sweatdropped. Not here, too! Utau silenced everyone by shooting them an icy glare.

"Now…EVERYONE GET OUT!" She yelled, in somehow a nice way. Everyone scurried out except for a few people. I looked up at Utau who looked back down at me, smiling. "Since you're new here, we'll give you some training. But first, let's meet some of the best maids here."

We walked over to the other few maids, who stared at me in interest. The one with a pink maid costume and pink hair spoke first. "I'm Ran! Nice to meet ya, Amu-chan!" She cried. She reminded me of Yaya. Then the one with the maid costume with leggings and short blue hair spoke. "Yo. I'm Miki. Call me Miki. Nothing else. I like to draw more than this stinkin' job," She said, giving me a peace sign. Then one with blonde hair and a puffy green costume spoke. "I'm Su~desu! And I'm better then them both~desu!" She pointed at the other two, who rolled their eyes.

Next, the one with some weird tattoos on each cheek spoke. Her costume was red with white polka dots all over it. "Kusukusu!" She started laughing like crazy, falling down. I stared at her, wondering if I should help her out of not.

Then the last one was Rima. She looked amazing in her maid costume. Her blonde hair was straight and she had mascara. She didn't say anything but stared at me menacingly. Suddenly I felt angry all over again. She has problems! I snapped out of it when she spoke. "I'm head maid. Don't get in my way," She told me, a glint in her eyes. It was so quiet only I could hear.

"Well then, let's have somebody show Amu around. Rima, you will do it," Utau said. I tensed and Rima shot me a dirty look. She told her through gritted teeth, "Fine." My jaws dropped. She was seriously willing to help me? I lightened and smiled, but when I thought she was going to return my smile, she just looked at me with an expressionless expression.

I stared back at her. Then her lips curled into a smirk. "Let's get started…Amu."
