"Talking"
(Me Talking)
Sakura's POV (First Person)After lunch we were herded back to our rooms for the night and it was only after noontime. I had no idea how I could go to sleep but for some reason sleep just took over me when it was time for lights out. I was going to stay up and make Ms. Kako mad but I knew six o clock on the dot was lights out. I really did not feel like going back to the principle again.
After a few weeks of being at the Perfect school as I called it I found my self getting into more and more trouble.
I found a secret passageway o the outside of the school wall and it led to a little town that Ms. Kako went to for material for dresses and clothing that we had to sew every day, which I might add was very boring and my hands would always get pricked by the needle.
I think I still have some scars from the many times the needle came in contact with my skin.
I walked slowly threw the secret passage way and walked to the little town every day.
I almost knew all of the people there now. They were really friendly and it sort of seemed like they were perfect in every way just like my school.
I thought it was weird at first but I had gotten use to it. I always went threw the passage way when it was time to sew and I never got caught because Ms. Kako was always busy during sewing time.
I walked to Master Xing's bookstore slowly.
"Hello Master Xing." I said cheerfully.
"Well hello little Kohaku. How are you today?"
"Really good thank you. I am here to give you this book back and to say thank you for letting me use it."
"Well any time you want to borrow a book, come any time. Did you hear about the prince coming here?"
"No sir I did not. Why is he coming?" I asked looking for another book.
"He is coming to your school to looking for a maid."
"He is? Well I am sure he will not find one at my school but every one of them would want to be his slave. They don't like to get dirty or wash dishes. Of course we never have to."
"Did you know his old maid died yesterday from a disease? The Queen is looking for a younger maid about your age I think." He said looking at me.
"I hope that I don't have to be his maid I can barely stand working for Madame Kako."
"Yes I am sure you are the only one who does not want to be the prince's maid little one."
"Yes, of all the other girls would die to be the maid of the prince. Well I have to go now. Can I borrow these?"
"Sure go ahead. I hope to see you soon little Kohaku."
"Good day Master Xing. Hope to see you again."
I started walking back towards the secret passageway when I saw Madame Kako talking to Mistress Lena, who was the kind woman who owned the bakery. ~I wonder why Madame Kako is talking to Mistress Lena? Madame Kako never buys any food from any shop here. She always makes her own. ~
I went to a near by bush and tried to listen to what they were saying.
"So I need your help. I can not cook all of the food by myself."
~I cannot believe Madame Kako is asking for help! ~
"Well Madame Kako, I would be happy to help you. The Queen will love my food."
"Thank you Mistress. I must be going to check on the girls now. Good day." She said walking away.
I waited till she was away form town and then ran to the secret passage way and ran as fast as I could. I finally made it threw and ran to my room. I quickly got all of my sewing stuff out and took out a dress that I was making last night.
I started to sew some lace on the ends of the dress when Madame Kako came threw the door.
"Hello Madame Kako it is good to see you. What brings you down here?" I said smiling.
"I thought I told you not to call me by Madame? It is Mistress to you. I still don't know how you found out that I was…"
"Was married? I said mumbling to my self.
She narrowed her eyes.
Sweat Drop
"Any way what can I do for you?" I said smiling.
"I was just checking up on you. Making sure you were not getting into trouble."
"Well as you can see I am not in any trouble yet. I still think you came here for another reason." I said smirking at her.
She looked nervously at me. "Yes there is another reason." She paused.
"What is it?" I asked eagerly.
"Well, I can't believe I am asking you of all people but…"
"What?"
"Well I wanted to ask you if you could help out your school by helping get everything ready for the…"
I interrupted her, "You get ready for the Prince's arrival?"
"How did you know he was coming?"
"It is a very long story plus we have to get ready. I am sure the food is are ready taken care of so what am I suppose to do?"
"Well you have to get the girls dresses and make sure the castle is decorated."
"Don't worry Mistress Kako you can trust me!" I said walking out of the room.
"Remember that they girls have to be ready by six!" she yelled as I ran down the long hallway.
I went to the sewing room where the others were sewing.
"Hey all guess what?"
"Umm you are leaving." Said Karina.
"No sorry you are stuck with me but the good news is that the Prince is coming here tonight."
They all started to shout with joy.
"Wait we don't have dresses." Said Marina.
"Don't worry come with me and we will get your dresses and then we will do your hair and makeup."
I walked to a door and took a shinning gold key out of my pocket and unlocked the door.
"Each of you pick your dresses." I said pointing to the dresses neatly hanging on the walls.
"Here Karina, here is the key to the makeup room. After you all are done come down stairs at six."
"Kohaku how did you find out about this place?" asked Ami.
"It's a secret. I have to go down stairs and do some things real quick. I will be back."
I ran down the stairs to the dinning room and looked at the Head Mistress setting the table.
"Let me take care of that Mistress. I am sure you have better things to do."
"Thank you young Kohaku." She said walking to the ballroom.
I set the table and folded all the napkins neatly and started to decorate the rest of the ballroom. ~Good thing I paid attention to Madame Kako teaching us how to decorate. ~
When I finished I could not help but say, "Everything is perfect."
"Kohaku make sure all the candles are lit by six." Said Madame Kako coming into the room.
"Yes Madame."
"Now go and get dressed." She said pushing me out the door.
I went to the dressing room quickly and saw a emerald colored dress hidden in the corner and thought it was perfect.
I put it on and it fit perfectly and I put on my amber necklace and hurried to the makeup room.
"Kohaku thank kami you are here. We don't know how to do our hair and makeup our selves. Someone ahs always done it for us." Said Aya.
"Ok sit down and I will do all of your makeup and hair, ok?"
"You know how?" asked Aya.
"Yes I have watched our Head Mistress a million times."
I went straight to work and finished just in time.
I started braiding my hair.
"I bet you want to the Prince to choose you." Said Marina.
"Why would you say that?"
"Because you stand out. We all are wearing black and red dresses, the Princes favorite colors, and you are wearing a green dress."
"I don't want to be some maid for a bratty Prince. Come on it is six and we have to go down stairs." I said getting up.
We all went down the stairs gracefully as we were taught and made out way down the stairs. Well I was different because I ran down the stairs.
"Kohaku don't run down the stairs! You will fall." Yelled Madame Kako (Ok Sakura (Kohaku) called Madame Kako Madame because she is married and it makes her mad.
"Sorry but I got to light the candles." I said running away from her.
I was almost done when I realized I missed a few in the ballroom. "Man I thought I got them all!" I started to run and light them quickly but tripped.
I was waiting for my face to hit the ground but it did not. I opened my eyes and looked at this amber-eyed person.
"Thank you so much for catching me." I said.
"Kohaku come here right now." Said Madame Kako looking very upset.
"Sorry got to go!" I said moving away from the amber-eyed stranger. (Hmm I wonder who it was? DUH!)
"Yes Madame Kako?" I asked coming up to her.
"First of all don't call me Madame Kako. It is Mistress to you. Another thing is you have to stay away from the Prince and Queen. And one last thing, don't run!"
"Ok I am sorry but I did not fall, someone caught me."
"Yes I know I saw your little show. Now run along before you cause so more trouble."
"Ok."
"And Kohaku thank you for helping."
I smiled and ran to the balcony to stay out of trouble.
"Man why do I have to stay out here in the cold of the night. Not that I want to go in there and act like some girl trying to catch the Princes' eyes." I said looking at the stars.
"You know I feel the same way as you. I hate schools like this one. The school is so boring just like the others." Said a boy coming out with a mask on.
"Well my school is not boring."
"Your school is boring and just some perfect place. I don't know how you can stand living here."
"What? How can you say that about my school! Sure sometimes I hate it but still, it is my school. You should not say anything bad about it." I said angrily.
"And what may I ask will you do if I don't?"
"Why you little…"
"Kohaku come here now young lady. I thought I told you not to talk to the Prince?" She said pulling me away from that annoying boy.
"I did not talk to the prince."
"You just did!"
"You mean that annoying little…" she coved my mouth as the Prince came out.
"We are very sorry your majesty. I have not clue what came over her."
The Prince showed him self and it is………….
You should know who it is!! It is the same person who saved Sakura (Kohaku) from falling. Hehehehe Sakura does not like the Prince very much n e? Well the next chapter is going to be really good!!!! Please R+R!!
