NEVER WINTER NIGHTS
Hey minna! I'm so obsessed with this story!! Anyway, I hope that you would enjoy this chapter because I'm writing this chapter instead of finishing up big projects that are due in the next two days, and, AND...I also have to do a power point presentation for religion tomorrow...sigh...well, I better get writing...
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...
ETERNAL IMPRISONMENT
"Wake up, Priestess Mitsukai." a voice whispered gracefully through the dimness of Mitsukai's room.
"Mm...go away..." Mitsukai said sleepily, pulling the covers over her head, before realizing that someone was in her room.
She immediately snapped straight up in bed, flitting her eyes around the room nervously.
"W-who's there?" Mitsukai asked shakily, as the mysterious voice chuckled.
"Who I am will not be important to you...for now...Priestess Mitsukai..." the voice spoke again.
"W-What-I'm-I'm not a priestess..." she gasped, looking down at the white glow her body emanated, "h-how...how did I...did I just..."
"Heh, heh, heh. Or are you..." the voice laughed quietly.
"W-why are you here?" Mitsukai asked timidly.
"Oh, forgive my rudeness child, but I am here to tell you to remember that you are always protected, child...t'is not your fault for your recent...tragedy...you will always be loved, and they will watch over you from heaven. You have something special that no one else has...remember...you are the one...make them proud...Priestess Mitsukai..." and with that, the voice faded as the sunlight began to peek over the mountains.
Mitsukai shielded her eyes, as a ray of sunlight shone into her room, illuminating every corner of the room. She got up from her bed, and stepped gracefully out onto the balcony. The view of the area around the castle was AMAZING. Everyone was inside their coffins ready for bed, and the foul stench of blood was gone from her nose. There was a big sakura blossom tree close enough to her balcony that the branches stretched partially over a quarter of it. She looked down and gasped, as she saw a beautiful garden beneath her. There were hot springs right next to the sakura blossom tree, petals falling gently onto the water. Layers and layers of flowers were planted along the outer edge of the wall coming inwards. Rose bushes, Marigolds, Daisies, Violets, and Bellflowers were all a part of the bunch. Mitsukai thought that everything would look nicer if they weren't all covered in ice and snow.
"Ahem..." someone cleared their throat, spoiling the moment of the atmosphere.
Mitsukai turned around and wondered who it could be.
"M-master!! I...why are you here? I thought that Kadaika-san was going to wake me up." She inquired, tilting her head to one side.
"She had some unexpected business to take care of and asked me to wake you up...pity that I should have asked one of the maids to wake up instead of coming up here myself." He said lowly.
Mitsukai lowered her head a little and sighed dejectedly. Waking her up was definitely not on Fubuki's to-do list, but what does that matter anyway? He probably was in love with some other vampiress who was way more beautiful than her. She decided to ignore that comment by complimenting the view of the garden.
"Beautiful...isn't it?" she whispered.
"Yeah...couldn't agree more..." Fubuki said softly, looking out onto the garden, as he replied without thinking.
Mitsukai looked at him in confusion, then looked back at the sakura blossom tree. He could be so cold sometimes, and then become so vulnerable the next. After realizing what he did, Fubuki quickly hid his vulnerability with a cold voice.
"I have better things to do than just appreciate this scenery, girl. Your clothes are on the bed. I expect down in the main entrance in ten minutes." Fubuki was back to his cold emotionless state again, closing the door with a loud bang on his way out.
Mitsukai looked tiredly at him, and picked up her outfit from the bed. She then went to take a quick bath in the shower stall, leaving her outfit by the drawer. After that, she went to back to the drawer, and opened it to find nothing but sewing materials. 'Not even a towel!' she thought, 'Oh well.' She looked at her white kimono, and then looked back at the coloured threads. She can probably stitch up a pattern of a lily in probably five minutes, then get dressed in time. She brought out the sewing materials, and laid out her kimono on her bed. She chose the thread colour of a navy blue, and started stitching at hyper speed. When she was done, she stood back to admire her work. Then she slipped it on, and ran through the door, knowing that she was going to be late if she didn't arrive soon.
"Okay...wait...where do I turn? I turn right here, but...there isn't a passage way...what?! This doesn't make sense...uh oh...I think I'm lost..." Mitsukai muttered, trying to remember the way to the main lobby.
"Lost?" a crude male voice asked.
Suddenly, Mitsukai froze as she felt a hand go around her thin tiny waist, bringing her closer to the intruder. She looked up terrified into a gaze of crimson. She had seen him before. He had silvery hair and a terrifying crimson gaze that can be soft at times. Mitsukai decided to play along with it to see his reaction.
"Yes, I am. I was wondering if you could show me where the main entrance is." Mitsukai tilted her head to one side to make herself look cuter.
(A.N: Yes, it's Sekkei. I told I would describe him in this chap LOL, and YES I KNOW it IS weird because Mitsukai was just crying her eyes out yesterday night, and she is acting fine now...kind of weird...no...REALLY weird reaction, but MEH!! LOL anyway, back to the story.)
Sekkei blinked once in confusion. Wasn't she supposed to be scared? Why was she acting as if nothing was happening? This human was really confusing him with her actions. Sekkei stared at the girl with confusion.
"Well, are you going to show me or not, Mr...." She trailed off.
"Just call me, Sekkei..." he said seductively, giving her waist a quick light squeeze.
This girl was not normal at all. She was not reacting like the other female human servants would react. She frowned at him. He smirked at her and slid his arm off her waist, walking in another direction. Mitsukai only stared after him.
"What's wrong, Mitsukai? Aren't you coming along?" he asked playfully.
"Oh..." she said, and ran after him in the direction he was walking to.
"Well, here we are...and try not to get lost again..." Sekkei said lowly.
"Uh...yeah...thanks for showing me...the way..." Mitsukai nodded and walked off to Fubuki, who had a tight expression upon his face.
Sekkei gave Mitsukai a wink and walked off...after smirking at his younger brother.
"Idiot..." Mitsukai muttered under her breath, as she watched him walk out of sight.
"Come along." Fubuki said brusquely, walking towards another hallway.
"We're going to....?" Mitsukai raised an eyebrow.
"No questions asked, SERVANT. Remember your rightful place here. You do not address me casually, for I am your ma-"Fubuki repeated himself again, annoyed.
"-I know already!! I was just curious about where we're going!! JEEZ!!!" Mitsukai snapped impatiently.
"Curiosity killed the cat." Fubuki stated firmly.
"And what's THAT supposed to mean? I'm not a damn cat!!" she replied indignantly.
"Shut up. Just follow me." He growled back at her.
However, Mitsukai remained glued to the ground, refusing to move.
"I SAID...COME." Fubuki said dangerously, holding up his hand to use his powers.
Once again, Mitsukai was dragged forward onto her knees, scraping it along the marbled floor.
"OW!! Quit it!! Alright, alright already!! I'LL WALK!!" she gave in rather furiously.
"It doesn't matter now. We are here." Fubuki dropped his hand, as Mitsukai brushed herself off.
Mitsukai stood up and looked around. The room was all grubby and filthy. The women who were kept there, were too.
"Am I working here?" she wondered out loud.
"Yes. Now go on. They will give you a tour around." Fubuki stated calmly, and pushed her into the room, slamming the door.
All the tired pairs of eyes turned to her at that moment. Mitsukai shifted uncomfortably, grinding the tip of her foot onto the floor timidly.
"Ah, so you're the newcomer?" a young woman came forward.
"Err...I guess..." Mitsukai replied.
"Very well then...do you know how to cook?" the woman asked her.
"Err...yeah...I had to cook for my old owner." she replied slowly, recalling the times when he gave her rare compliments about her cooking.
"Excellent!! So, the stove is just right over there, and if you need food, just get Lil Timmy over there." the woman pointed to a young scrawny looking boy about the age of ten.
"Err...okay...thanks..." Mitsukai replied, heading over to the stove which was covered with grime.
"Oh, and my name is Hitomi. The girls who are in charge of the dishes are Reika and San. Ayame and Suzame cook the main courses of dinner. Mainly, anyone can help out with anything, but we just assigned places to people who specialize in those areas. Akami and Yuki serve the dishes out to our masters and cleans up any of the kitchen's messes. Anyone can serve the dishes, but mostly we're busy doing something else. You can be the one who makes the dessert. I'm the head of the kitchen, so if you need anything just come to me...?" Hitomi introduced the girls, as they all waved to the newcomer.
"Mitsukai..." she said softly.
"Ah, Mitsukai. Nice to meet you, and welcome aboard!!" Hitomi said cheerfully, "Alright!! Everyone, let's get to work for tonight's feast!!"
"Feast??!!?" Mitsukai's eyeballs almost bugged out of her sockets, "but it's my first day HERE!!!"
"Well...you said you had experience...so anyway...there're probably going to be at least thirty guests? I'll leave the rest up to you...if you need to buy something, just ask Timmy, alright?"
Mitsukai nodded. This was going to be hard work to prepare food for thirty people...in such a dirty place too!! 'Hmmm...' she thought to herself, 'what shall I cook for tonight? People eat too much Japanese food...so they're probably getting tired with it...well not really...thirty people...thirty dishes...hmmm...we might need a LOT of money for what I'M going to make...' Mitsukai smiled to herself, and told Timmy the ingredients that she needed.
"Eh? I've never heard of those things before! What is 'gelatine'? where can I find these things? I know where I can find dashi and the typical Japanese things, but gelatine?!" Timmy shook his head.
"It's probably at the store where they sell all kinds of things...you know...the store where you can get anything for less than a few yens, but they're pretty high quality though...anyway, just get what you see on the list, okay? Come back soon because I need the gelatine to make the...oh, never mind!! Just get what you see on the list and hurry!" Mitsukai pushed Timmy out the door, and off he went.
HALF AN HOUR LATER...
"Ugh!! Where IS that boy?! Those things aren't very hard to find!!" Mitsukai cried, stomping her foot in frustration.
BLAM
The door slammed open as Timmy stood there carrying a whole stack of different food. He staggered towards the counter and dumped all the contents out of the bag. Mitsukai looked relieved as she picked up a can of gelatine, opened the can and dumped the contents into the pot, setting the temperature at boiling.
"Eh? What's this? 'Sutoroberii Furaivura(strawberry flavour)'? Eh?! Your ingredients are weird, but cheap!! I got like...fifty boxes of them...like you asked...and about fifty more boxes of this 'kiwi furaivura (lime flavour)'. Oh...and I also got this 'vanira aisukuriimu'...whatever that is...I also bought some tanemono for the guests who would prefer original Japanese desserts. Well, that's it for now, but if you want more things, you can just give my name a shout." Timmy explained, retreating back to the little corner where he was previously standing.
"Alright..." Mitsukai muttered to herself as she stirred the gelatine until it was completely dissolved.
She then got out a gigantic long flat pans used for baking BIG BIG BIG 'happy anniversary' cakes, and poured an equal amount of boiling gelatine onto the pan. She then boiled up some more gelatine in another pot, as she emptied the boxes of strawberry flavouring onto the large pan of gelatine. She stirred and stirred until the white clear substance became a clear crimson red, and set the large pan into the freezer room to cool. She then went back to the counter and took out some fresh strawberries, and began to cut them into little pieces. After cutting up a whole container of them, she brought to the freezer room to check up on the strawberry gelatine. It had hardened a bit, but it was still in a liquid state. Mitsukai took some of the strawberries and sprinkled them across the pan, running up and down the aisle(A.N: Yes, the pan is THAT long!! LOL). The weight of the strawberries made them sink a little further into the gelatine. Mitsukai smiled and walked back to the other room, closing the freezer room door. She repeated the same steps with the kiwi gelatine, and poured it onto the pan as soon as the strawberry gelatine became firm. She then made another trip to the kitchen to cut up some kiwis, and sprinkled them on top of the kiwi gelatine. After an hour, the whole dessert was done and was prepared to serve. Mitsukai cranked the thermostat in the freezer room a little higher, high enough to keep the gelatine cool and firm.
Mitsukai then poured three buckets of vanilla ice cream onto a large silver salad bowl, and chopped up some chocolate and cookies. Then sprinkled them onto the vanilla ice cream and stirred it around until they were mixed well with the ice cream. She then put that into the freezer room and sighed, as she went back to her room to change. The banquet was for everyone... including the servants of the castle. She quickly ran to her room to take a quick shower, and then opened up her closet doors, finding a plain navy blue silk kimono.
"Sheesh!! Are all outfits THIS plain? Hmmm...I'll guess I'll have to spice it up myself..." Mitsukai thought aloud as she made her way to the drawers to pick out a thread colour.
Silver looked best with the colour of her kimono, so she grabbed it and went to her bed to do some thread work. After a few minutes, she held her new and improved kimono. She had sewn a picture of a silver dragon that had wrapped itself around her kimono from the bottom to the top. The image of the silver dragon's head was sewn across the chest part of her clothing, and the rest of it body was wrapped around her whole kimono like vines wrapped around a pillar. Mitsukai put the kimono and looked at the mirror. She decided to put up her hair. She rummaged through her bag until she found a metallic blue clip with silver star jewels glued to it. She then clipped her hair up, pulling out two strips of her midnight blue hair to frame her face. She looked up at the ancient clock and saw that it was already six o clock. She opened the door of her room, ready to conquer the world, but someone was there...someone she had very least expected...
HEHE!! This chap was VERY long, I know!! I was pretty descriptive around the part where she prepared the dessert...not sure about you guys, but I thought that this chapter was kind of boring...-_-...anyway, I hope to write another chapter as soon as I can!! Thanks minna!!
