I think Im doing well for a hiatus, but everyone who reads this probably hates me.
Ichigo sighed as she leaned against the marble balcony, watching Kishu leave for school. Things were so similar on this planet, she had expected a totally different environment, remembering when Kichiiro explained the aliens had a much more advanced civilization. She thought about Kishu's last words to her that morning, did she want to give in and live luxuriously? Or restrain from him and go to that horrible school?
To anyone it would be an obvious answer, but to Ichigo the thought of giving into Kishu repulsed her. It would be a way of saying he had won, she was his and was intimidated by him. She remembered the pool kiss and decided it was not a romantic display of affection, but rather a thankful one. Like a slave receiving water from its master after a week.
Slave.
The word pained Ichigo and she trotted back into the cooling room, blinking tears from her could she go home, back to Masaya?
Her cheeks burned with humiliation, when she thought about how she ached for him, still loved him passionately; when she was trapped with a pervy alien and had actually had lip contact with him.
There was a knock at the door and Ichigo jumped, before cautiously calling a feeble 'come in'. A maid stepped in, she had the same ears all the aliens seemed to have but she had a more exotic appearance, with thin delicate eyebrows, a little nose and defined almond shaped eyes. She quickly bobbed to Ichigo .
"My name is Konoka miss." she said.
"Miss?" Ichigo raised an eyebrow.
"The master Kishu told us to use that term with you, a respectful one."
Ah, Ichigo understood now, all today Kishu would have his servants treat her like she could always be treated, if she gave in.
"Thankyou..Konoka chan." Ichigo replied feeling cuteness radiate from Konoka as she tilted her head.
"Chan miss? But the Miss and I are not acquainted."
"I want us to be." Ichigo smiled, the first step towards a happy stay would be to make friends. Konoka smiled back, bobbing again before she pulled the bedroom door open.
"Konoka had some dresses brought for the Miss." Ichigo gaped as another maid, even shorter than Konoka, wheeled in a long line of stunning clothes.
"This is Konoka's little sister Miss, Aiko." the second maid ran next to Konoka and curtsied.
"How old are you two?" Ichigo could not help but ask, Konoka had looked old enough with her facial features, but Aiko looked so young with her big oval eyes and exploding peachy curls.
"Konoka is thirteen miss, and Aiko is eight."
"Eight?" Ichigo gasped, surely it wasn't legal?
"Konoka and Aiko's mother is widowed and terminally ill miss." Konoka shrugged. "Konoka and Aiko have to provide food for our other four siblings." Ichigo didn't know what to say, this planet was so advanced, yet some parts could have been extracted from third world countries.
"We have to help you get ready now miss." she continued helping Ichigo sit down, Ichigo could'nt help but feel in heaven as all over she was massaged, moisturized and buffed.
"We got these for you miss."Aiko squeked and handed Ichigo a folded pile of clothes.
"My clothes!"Ichigo hugged them tightly, she hadnt seen them since her arrival.
"We thought you might want them miss."Ichigo nodded hugging the surprised two.
"Yes, yes I do." she put them down on the edge of the bed before turning to the dresses. Slowly and carefully she skimmed through them, before stopping on a creamy white silk ensemble. She pulled it out holding it up,convinced it would fit she stepped into the bathroom to change. The dress was shoulder cut, the long sleeves wrapped around her arms ending in a gloved style on her skirt was draped, the silk flowing, curled and layered down and down until the dress ended. Ichigo went into the walk in wardrobe and pulled out a pair of matching heels with silk ties. Then she pulled her ribbons from her hair, letting it flow and curl, picking two cream roses from the bathrooms scented box she fashioned them in her gasped as she looked into the mirror, she could'nt believe it was herself.
Konoka and Aiko repeated the reaction as she stepped out,
"The miss looks stunning."Konoka picked her bag up from the couch and pulled out half her alien currency supplied by Ryou for an 'emergency'. (Ichigo figured why not as no money would help this emergency.) She stuffed it in Konoka's hands ignoring her protests.
"Take it all, you've been so helpful...so nice.."Ichigo grinned feeling rather emotional. She twirled around in her dress, "What am I dressed up for?"
"The master."Konoka replied putting her new loot away, Ichigo stopped spinning.
"He has come home early and demands to see you now."
