NEVER WINTER NIGHTS
Hey minna!! I liked this story so much that I decided to write another chapter at...1 a.m. on a Saturday night! LOL!! It's supposed to be snowing now but it isn't...that is really pissing me off but that's okay!! ^__^ Anyway, ON WITH THE SHOW!! LOL!! I hope to get more reviews on this story because I spent a lot of time writing and thinking of ideas. Yeah, enjoy...
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...
FIREFLIES
Mitsukai stumbled back the moment the person had appeared outside her doorway.
"W-What are YOU doing here?!?" Mitsukai gasped at the sight of...none other than Prince Sekkei himself, at her door.
"Mitsukai!! I-I was just...I-err...I was just wondering...if you would like the honour of...err...accompanying me...downstairs to err...the...banquet?" Sekkei said slowly, scratching his head, wondering if he had said the right thing.
"Uh...okay...but I'm supposed to be at the kitchens to serve the food-" Mitsukai was cut off.
"-No, that's fine. I got someone to err...cover for you...umm...ready?" he offered her his arm.
"Uh...yeah I'm ready...yeah..." she said timidly, taking his offered arm.
Just as they left, Fubuki came around the corner to see if...(yeah, that's right) Mitsukai would accompany him to the banquet. Unfortunately, he caught a glimpse of her taking his brother's arm, as they walked away. Fubuki narrowed his eyes dangerously. That stupid brother of his was always more appreciated and respected than he was. He hated it when his brother always got things before he did. After a minutes, he turned around and walked away into the darkness.

"EEP!!!" a young woman gasped as she saw Prince Sekkei make an entrance.
"OH MY KAMI!! It's Prince Sekkei!! EEK!!! He's totally GORGEOUS with his dark blue suit!!" another woman pointed out.
"I'm going to ask him to dance first!!" another girl declared.
The funny thing was that none of the girls there matched up to the beauty of Mitsukai. Their faces were all hidden with makeup, while hers remained makeup free.
"Who IS that pretty GIRL with him?!" a voice piped up.
"She is SO pretty!! I think that she's his wife!!" another girl yelled out, pointing at Sekkei and Mitsukai.
"But she's HUMAN." a prissy voice stated disgustedly.
"Please ignore their comments...they're just jealous that you're with me...that's all..." Sekkei muttered in Mitsukai's ear as he heard that comment.
"I know." she replied softly.
Prince Sekkei guided Mitsukai to the table, and picked up two plates.
"What would you like, Mitsukai?" he asked her gently.
"Err...it's okay...I can get the food myself..." she replied, and with that, she took her plate gently away from him and walked over to another table to get food.
Sekkei stared after her. No female was ever able to resist his charms like that...he was beginning to...like this girl...she was mysterious, and Sekkei has never ever turned down a challenge. 'Mitsukai,' he chuckled in his mind, as he picked up his own plate and grabbed a spoon, 'I think that I'm beginning to like you...'
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I WOULD LIKE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK SOMEONE TODAY," a voice yelled out, a little bit too loud, "Oops...well, anyway, I would like to thank someone who had been a great help to my staff in the kitchen today. I would like to thank Mitsukai for her outstanding performance on her first day. She prepared a special kind of dessert that is very rare and expensive. The staff of the kitchens would like to hope that everyone has enjoyed their main course for the night, thank you!!" it was Hitomi.
Mitsukai blushed when she called out her name. She was attracting a lot of unwanted attention from people she didn't know...especially the men. They all looked at her strangely as she passed by them, but all thought of the same thing, 'Beautiful...for a human...'
Mitsukai arrived at the kitchens in time to help guide the people to roll the cart of gelatine to the banquet hall. Everyone stared at them as the doors opened. Everyone stared in awe at the enormous dessert in front of their eyes.
"That's the biggest dessert I've ever seen..." Sekkei muttered to his younger brother, who continued to stare at Mitsukai without noticing his brother's comment.
"I-err...hope that you all enjoy the special dessert that I have prepared for tonight. Eh...thank you..." Mitsukai spoke nervously, and gave a little respectful bow to everyone.
At first, everyone was staring at the dessert as if they were looking for any signs of poison in it. One by one, they began to dig in, enjoying the delicious taste. However, Fubuki remained silent. He didn't feel like doing anything after seeing her walking and talking with his brother. He continued to watch her until she walked up the stairs to her room. It was then, that he decided to follow her.
Mitsukai walked up the stairs as quickly as she could. There were so many evil and different auras around her. She felt queasy and needed a bit of fresh air to breathe. She opened the door to her room, and went outside to stand on the balcony. She inhaled at the magnificent sight before her, as she took hold of the branches of the sakura blossom tree next to her balcony, and climbed onto the tree. She made herself comfortable in her seat with her back against the tree. She smiled as the fireflies flew around peacefully, and remembered when she used to catch them with her siblings and put them in a jar to use as a nightlight. Bringing back memories of her dead family would always make her cry. She held back a sob as she looked down at her kimono, which was engraved with a picture of a dragon in silver threads. She touched it and rather her fingers along the fine texture.
"I must be strong...like a dragon..." she whispered to herself, as s firefly flew by, making the picture of the dragon seem more visible.
She looked up and saw Fubuki gazing back at her with those cold crimson eyes, and almost fell off her tree.
"Ack! What are you doing here?!" Mitsukai said, exasperated.
"Nothing that you should be concerned of, girl." Fubuki cursed in his mind for even following her.
There was something about this beauty that had intrigued him. She was sometimes reserved and peaceful, while at times she can he very loud and demanding. The two stood in silence as they watched the fireflies fly around, illuminating dark areas. Mitsukai reached out and cupped her hand around one. The yellow light could be seen radiating from inside her small pale creamy hands.
"Here..." she said quietly, "give me your hands..."
Fubuki did what he was told, surprised that he had even done so. Mitsukai slowly opened the bottom part of her hands into his rough ones. She then cupped his hands together as they both watched the yellow warmth glow from his hands.
HEHE!!! That was quite romantic no? LOL! Anyway, the time is now...2:20 in the morning... AGAIN!? WHOA!! What a coincidence!! It's exactly the same as last time!! WOW!! LOL! I'm scaring myself!! Anyway, don't forget to review!! NO REVIEW, NO CHAPTERS!!
Ja,
