NEVER WINTER NIGHTS
Hey minna! I finally got an update! I'm just so tired from all this homework...-_- anyway, enjoy! LOL! ^________^
Undone: Hehe, thanks, and yes that was a mistake. When I reread the chapter again at like...3a.m. I found the mistake, and I figured out that my readers would be smart enough to know HEHEHE! Thanks for pointing out the mistake anyway! LOL! ^__^
Littlestar: Hehe...thanks. Good point there. I was kind of thinking about how her family got slaughtered, and then I was like...maybe Mitsukai shouldn't be too happy and childish about the situation? But then again...I was thinking about Rin and Sesshoumaru *drool* in the anime 'Inuyasha'. Have you heard of it? Well, if you had...that's where I got my idea of saying sama instead of master, but you know, you're right because I don't think that a 17 year old lady would say 'sama' because she is more sophisticated. Yeah, I'll use master from now on...thanks!
PRIESTESS OF PURITY
Mitsukai stood up feebly. Her head was spinning like a top, and her vision was getting blurrier by the second. She felt so many evil auras revolving around her all at once.
"F-Fubuki..." she managed to whisper, before she collapsed onto the cold hardness of the ground.
Fubuki sighed as he walked over and put a hand up to her forehead. It was burning with a high fever as so he thought. He picked her up in his arms and continued walking as if nothing happened.
* * *
"So, you've arrived," Prince Sekkei greeted his younger brother, eyeing the beautiful girl unconscious in his arms, "what did you do to her to make her unconscious, brother?" he sneered.
"Where's Kadaika...the witch doctor...my servant has a high fever, and needs to be treated immediately." Fubuki said, ignoring his older brother's remark.
"I'm right here, Fubuki-sama. Allow me to lead you." An old woman appeared at the door at the sound of her name.
Fubuki turned around and nodded. The old woman limped towards a vacant room made of cold grey stones, illuminated only by candles on wooden tables. There was only a little window in the room which was only accessible to pigeons and bats. Sekkei glared at the retreating back of his younger brother. 'No one dares to ignore me.' he thought angrily, as he followed Fubuki and Kadaika into the room.
"What are you doing here?" Fubuki asked with a slight tone of annoyance in his voice.
"Relax, my only duty is to watch this mysterious girl. Her aura is by far, the purest I've ever felt." Sekkei mused.
"T'is true, milord," Kadaika spoke, her voice full of wisdom, "Her aura is so full of purity that she would be able to kill the most evil and powerful vampires. She has the ability to enchant and heal anyone."
Fubuki was stunned and he raised an eyebrow to show it. 'Her? Powerfully pure?" he was awed, but did not show anymore emotions on his face. A white glow was radiating brightly from her body. It was a while before she stirred and moaned. Slowly, her eyelids fluttered open, revealing a pair of magnificent sapphire blue eyes.
"Ugh...where am I..." Mitsukai started to sit up and rubbed her eyes.
She blinked once and then twice, as she stared back at the three people who were studying at her like some artefact in a museum...well...except for Fubuki that is...he quickly turned his head to the wall as soon as Mitsukai's sapphire eyes met his crimson ones.
"Master..." she whispered, "where am I?"
"You are...at my castle..." he said slowly, avoiding her gaze.
"...which he also shares with his older brother and his father." Sekkei butted in, nodding at Mitsukai.
"I see..." she said, looking down at her legs which were partially covered with blood.
"And I am a loyal servant, milady. My name is Kadaika. Feel free to come and see me as you wish milady, for I will always be in the same room as I always have been for 25 years...unless I am curing someone, then I will be down here in this room. I'm sure that Fubuki-sama will show you to his room soon." The old woman smiled thoughtfully at Mitsukai.
"Kadaika, her purpose here is to be my servant." Fubuki said sternly.
The old woman's eyes flickered onto the young vampire before her, "of course, milord. I am very sorry for the misunderstanding. It will not happen again, sir."
Fubuki dismissed her with a brief nod and waited for Sekkei to leave the room before showing her to her room. The pair walked in silence, not knowing what to say to each other. Mitsukai was secretly mourning over her dead family. She was always taught to live strong, and never show your weak side to your opponents. 'Is Fubuki really considered an opponent though?' she thought, 'he did save me from my former master...but then again...I'm being used as his servant, so if I plan to escape, I'm in more hot water than I would be before...what have I gotten myself into?!?!' unconsciously, she clasped a hand to her forehead in frustration. All she wanted was freedom and peace for everyone...even those who weren't of her kind.
"We are here." Fubuki said, as he opened the door to let her in.
Mitsukai's mouth fell open. She was sleeping in this?! The moment she stepped into the room, she felt something soft and furry tickling the soles of her feet. Carpet. Something she had missed for a very long time, considering that the former house she worked in did not have any type of carpeting or whatsoever. It was just the cold muddy ground she had to walk around on all day. It made her feet all dirty and itchy. Mitsukai was thankful that this was her room. It was spacious and had a nice clean feeling. The entire room was white. White curtains, white carpets, white desks, white chairs, white mattress sheets, white walls, a white balcony-white everything!!
"You'll be woken up by Kadaika." Fubuki said briefly before walking out of the room, and closing the door.
After he left, Mitsukai walked lightly over to the bed. She planted a firm hand over the mattress to check for any lumps, bumps, stuff like that. When she detected none, she lay down comfortably on the bed. Closing her eyes, she savoured every relaxing moment she had on the queen-sized bed. When she worked at the former house, she didn't even get to sleep inside the house. All she slept on was a small bundle of hay at the back of the house throughout the hottest days of summer to the harshest days of winter. Her owner never had luxury like this provided for the slaves or the house owners themselves. The beatings of her younger siblings were always harsh. It didn't matter to them if they were infants, they would still be beaten the same treatment the elder ones would get. Mitsukai was so sick of that wretched place that she decided today would be the final day that she would escape...and she succeeded, but only to lose the lives of her loved ones. The horrible images of them suffering to their death would always be planted into her mind. Always...
*Flashback*
"Find that wretched girl and bring her to come watch her family die! This is that third time that she has done this...but there won't be a next time that she will do this again..." the owner of the house barked orders to his buddies to find Mitsukai.
Little did he know, that Mitsukai was there watching her family with wide eyes. They were bind together with ropes that cut through their grubby skin.
"Please!! Let her go!! You can beat me as much as you want in her place!! Please!! Just don't kill her!! I beg of you, master!! Let her go!!" Mitsukai's father stumbled forward blindly in front of the owner, throwing himself onto the ground to beg for his forgiveness.
"Enough talk!! You know what?! My patience is running very thin!! I think I'm going to kill the lot of you now!" the owner snapped ferociously, and slashed his claws through the father, holding his beating heart on the other side.
"GO TO HELL!!!!!!!" a middle-aged woman snarled at him, but he laughed.
"After you, my dear." he smirked, and sliced her head clean across the neck, turning to the children, who were scrambling back in fear.
"H-HELP!!! SOMEONE, SAVE US!! HELP!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" all the siblings were clawed to bits as he tore into them.
"You little hell raisers...that'll teach your brat of a sister not to mess with me..." he smiled evilly, as he licked the blood off his claws.
*End of Flashback*
Mitsukai felt the tears making their way down her face, as she cried her heart out. She was responsible for the death of her whole family. If she wasn't such a coward...they would probably be still alive and together. She knew that her life long dream was never going to be fulfilled...to live in freedom and peace with all...
*sniff sniff* I never thought that it had to end this way with Mitsukai's family dying like THAT. Don't worry...Fubuki will make an entrance next scene...and so will Sekkei. I know, I know. You're probably wondering how Sekkei looks like, well don't worry, I'm going to describe him next chapter, so use your imagination, people. LOL
