Oh yea. I'm not very good with dialogue so I'm sorry! ^^"
Disclaimer: Rurouni Kenshin is not mine. Nor is the story Cinderella or Ella
Enchanted or Ever after. (Which is all a version of Cinderella, and if you
don't like it then don't read)
-Chapter 12-
The moonlight hit off the sword and shone on Kenshin's face.
Instantly alert, Kenshin opens his eyes as soon as the man sheathed his sword.
Grabbing the sword under his pillow quietly, he lays still and breathes regularly pretending to be asleep while adjusting to the darkness.
When he could make out the stupid guards, Kenshin turned around casually as if flipping in his sleep for a better view of his room.
He listened for any sound, but only heard the snoring of the guards.
But he couldn't hear anything else.
Thinking it was his imagination; Kenshin sat up in his bed casually, and found nobody there but the sleeping guards.

Shishio, her new master, was off her mind, and Kaoru paid attention to Yumi, who was giving a tour around the whole mansion training school.
When they reached upstairs, Yumi said, "I have assigned all of you rooms, and each room has a name. Your roommates are going to be your 'group' and so your courses will be separate from other 'groups'. Understand?"
Yumi was as icy as every, but she still smiled a little.
All the servants, including Kaoru, nodded their head nervously.
Kaoru prayed that Misao would be in her 'group'. She didn't know what she would do if she was stuck with a bunch of people that she didn't know.
Yumi had already started calling off names, and the group in the hallway was getting smaller as they moved along.
Finally, Kaoru heard her name. She looked wistfully at Misao as she left toward her room.
Misao frowned and her usually bright blue eyes dulled in disappointment.
Yumi didn't look up at Kaoru as she passed, but continued reading off names.
"Mika, Kalla, Misao, and Dee."
Misao rushed into the room to catch up with Kaoru and threw a grateful glance toward Yumi, though she didn't see it.
Looks like Yumi isn't as cold as we thought… thought Misao.
As Kaoru stepped into the room, she felt hands tugging on her Yukata. She turned around and saw Misao.
Kaoru smiled and hugged Misao, glad for the grouping arrangements.
Misao hugged back, and when the released each other, they looked about the room.
The room was flushed with light purple – lavender –, and even the curtains, the beds, bedspreads, blankets, chairs, carpet, and lamps, were lavender.
Except for the white dresser under the window, the white tables next to the beds, up against the wall, holding lamps, the windowsill, and the pillows.
Kaoru and Misao moved forward, so that they wouldn't block the others.
Kalla and Mika looked down at Kaoru and Misao as they passed, but Dee shyly smiled.
Kaoru decided she liked this girl, and said hi.
Dee smiled even more and said hi back.
"I think we're going to be great friends!!" said Misao happily.
Kaoru laughed and Dee giggled.
They started small talk as they went toward their beds, which already had their bag(s) that held their few possessions on them.
Kaoru, Misao, and Dee had their beds next to each other, Misao in the middle.
The kept on talking as they brought out whatever needed items. Dee took out a small angel statue and set it on the table next to her bed.
Kaoru and Misao stared curiously at it. Dee just smiled at it, and continued packing.
The angel was obviously from America, due to it's clothes and blonde hair, but it was still beautiful.
Its wing's were spread out a bit, and were painted light blue. The robes were white and pink, while its hair was strawberry blonde with blue eyes, and the whole model was covered with glitter that caught the light.
"What's that?" asked Misao, eager to know.
If Kaoru were next to Misao, she would have nudged her.
But Kaoru just looked questioningly at Dee also.
Dee looked up from her packing and back at the angel, and quietly said, "It was from my mother…"
And she stared at it for a minute or two, until they were interrupted.
A servant had come in telling them politely that it was time for dinner.
At the mention of dinner, Kaoru's stomach grumbled and she thanked the servant, feeling sorry for her.
Mika and Kalla made their way out of the room, and Misao, Kaoru, and Dee went out giggling.
To Be Continued…Yes ^^" I know, it's a short chapter and I haven't updated in a long time. I'm really sorry for the short chapter, but I have writer's block, and comments, suggestions, and flames are welcome. They'll just make this story better! And I'll definitely try to update sooner.
