DIZCLAIMER: my what? my WHAT WHAT WHAT?!
THE NEXT DAY SHIZUKA AND MAI decided to go into the market and look for fabric that will be made into three dresses, one for each ball.
Yet before they could leave, Yugi was asked to place a spell on Shizuka's face, so that no one can see her hideous scar. Yugi hesitated for a moment, for he said, "Well, you know I can't remove it, right?"
They were in Yugi's quarters which looked almost like the library, filled with books of spells, with the exception of cauldrons, beakers, herbs, and animals in cages all shove to where it seems to where it won't fall or be in the way. It also looked like it hasn't been dusted in months.
Shizuka nodded sadly, "I know, it's cursed. But isn't there like a spell to hide my scar…or…something?"
Yugi took a moment to think, at last he said, "Well, I can disguise it for you," he said, "But the spell will disguise your entire face. Only Mai and I will know that it's you."
"Disguise my entire face?" Shizuka repeated, "Will it be permanent?" Yugi laughed, "Of course not, silly. Just for a couple of hours and then it's wear off.." he assured her..
"Can it be done?" Shizuka asked, Yugi laughed again, "Well I was made your father's Sage for something, right?"
Yugi beckoned her to lean forward, Shizuka did. Yugi placed his fingers aourn the edged of her mask, Shizuka flinched, "It's ok," Yugi said softly, "I need to take off your mask so that I'll know the spell worked,"
"You've done it already?" Shizuka asked surprised, Yugi shook his head, "No, I have not." Yugi gently took Shizuka's mask off. Shizuka, years of instinct, hid her face under her hair.
But to her surprise, Yugi didn't let her cover her face, for he grabbed her head and placed her forehead on his.
Shizuka felt her heart quickened, she never had anyone so close to her, with the exception of Mai…and recently her father. She wondered if this is how it feels to be held by a man…she also wondered…could Yugi be her true love?
"There, it's done," Yugi said cheerfully after a few seconds. Shizuka opened her eyes, and looked around, "I-I don't feel any different" She admitted.
Yugi chuckled, "Because you're still you." Yugi held out a handheld mirror and gave it to Shizuka, "Have a look," he said smiling.
Shizuka hesitated; it has been years since she's last looked at a mirror. Looking at a mirror only brought sadness, and heartbreak. For the mirror demonstrates all the flaws and things you never want to see, which was the truth.
Shizuka slowly and gently took the mirror from Yugi, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Once the mirror was directly in front of her face, she slowly opened her eyes.
And the first thing she saw was that she had no scar. Shizuka blinked in amazement, and she touched her face, it felt soft and smooth, not lumpy and rough.
The next thing she saw was that she no longer had hazel eyes, her eyes were bright green. Smaller, bright green eyes that seemed to look upon her soul.
The last thing she noticed was her hair was no longer reddish brown, but a petal pink color. She wasn't her self anymore, actually, she WAS herself, but she didn't look like herself anymore.
"Is…" Shizuka began, "Is this me?" she asked softly. Yugi frowned, "Do…do you like it?" he asked.
Shizuka felt her face again, no, that girl's face. "She's pretty," She said softly.
Yugi smiled.
LATERS…
Mai was already outside waiting for Shizuka at the carriage.
"I'm ready!" She heard Shizuka yelled, Mai couldn't help but to mutter, "Finally,"
She turned towards the voice, but instead of her mask-wearing sister, she saw a pink-haired girl about the same age as her sister running towards her from ear to ear.
The girl got on the carriage, she patted the dirt off her and smiled at Mai, "Who…?" began Mai, the girl laughed, "It's me, Mai!" she said in Shizuka's voice. As soon as the girl sat on the seat, the carriage began to move.
"Wha-what?" Mai stuttered, "What-what happened?" Mai said looking upon her 'sister' taking in every detail, her green eyes, her pink hair…her pale, flawless skin.
"I asked Yugi to put a spell on me, to hide my scar," Shizuka said cheerfully, "Isn't she beautiful?" she gushed. "Her?" Mai asked uncertainly.
Shizuka nodded, "This isn't me, it's someone else." She glanced sadly at the floor, "I can never be this pretty," she muttered.
Mai frowned, "You are pretty, Shizuka," she cupped her sister's chin, "you just don't see it," she said.
Shizuka didn't want to argue, besides, this was all meant for her sister to find her true love. The only thing she can do is give a big sigh.
LATERS…
Mai found many fabrics that she liked, but she was having a hard time deciding which one to choose.
"The maroon, maybe." She muttered, "No-no, I think periwinkle blue will work…NO! NO! I take that back, I want the maroon, please."
Shizuka couldn't help but to smile, for it was worth seeing Mai smile again. They haven't chosen Shizuka's fabrics yet, but Mai had told Shizuka to wonder around the market to find a fabric that she likes or have Mai look at it in case she was skeptical.
For Mai had spectacular taste in fashion. Yet Shizuka's heart wasn't into the materials…in fact, she glanced up at the sky and began to daydream…to daydream about the one destined to break her spell.
I'm tired of looking for you…
She began to wonder, would he be short, tall…or just an inch smaller than her? How would his hair be like? Would it be bright blonde like Mai's or dirty blonde like Jonouchi's? Would it be an unusual color like his father?
I'm tired of waiting for you…
She wondered if he was going to be a brunette…or what if he had no hair at all? Shizuka glanced at every man at the market who were selling meats, fruits, silver, gold…etc. She studied each man's features and wondered about the small features he would have.
I don't want to hurt myself..
It's time to resign…
She would glance at a man's hooked noses, small squinting eyes, or busy, thick eyebrows. Would he be young? Old? Or a kid?
Could it be that one day it will arrive, this dream of my love?
She just couldn't help but to wonder about those small things. Where is he? How will they met? And who, who in the world is he?
My prince charming, I don't know if it's you…
She wondered, if he was out there wandering the same thing, wondering where she was. Or maybe he was wondering if he was destined for anything better than what he's current life been, for how many people in the world were destined to break a spell?
The ugly, the handsome, the fat one, or skinny one
None of those are necessary you…
She began to daydream about what her destined one does, she wonder if he was a simple farm boy chopping wood for dinner later on the evening. Or maybe he could be milking a cow…she pictured in her mind, a young man milking a cow, humming a cheerful tone under his breath.
My charming frog…
She pictured in her mind if maybe his mother or father then told him to come into town to buy some fresh fruit for tomorrow, and he did. He came into the market, and then they somehow bumped into each other. And Shizuka would immediacy fall in love, and so would he, and BAM! Her spell would be broken, simple as that.
I'm tired to be kissing; my lips are already frustrated…
Shizuka couldn't help but to giggle at her silly daydream, for who in her right mind would fall in love with her now, when she is disguised?
I've experimented with everything…
Even a love-struck frog…
"Shizuka!" Mai yelled after her, Shizuka stopped in her tracks and waiting for Mai to catch up. Mai glanced at Shizuka, "You have no idea how funny I looked yelling your name out loud!" Mai began, "I forgot what you've looked like!" She glanced down at Shizuka's hands, "And what? No fabric? "
Maybe he'll transform to rescue me today…
Shizuka mentally slapped herself, of course! How could she forget she was out shopping?
Shizuka only smiled at her sister shyly and shrugged.
