Chapter 5: The Ball Part 3
Megumi slowly started to regain conciseness. Her body felt like it was strung tight and her head felt like it was going to explode. Her face hurt and burned. And, what is this, she was laying on a bed. How did I get here, she thought. I do not remember making it home. Wait, these sheets are to soft to be mine. Megumi finally decided to open her eyes. What she saw made her gasp. She was in a very furnished room that just screamed that the person who lived here was rich. The room held everything a woman might need for a long stay. And the colors in the room were ones that Megumi had never seen before. She slowly got up and looked into the wash room and was surprised at how big the bathtub was. You could fit up to 15 people into it by the looks of it. Next she looked into the wardrobe where she found kimonos made of pure silk. Megumi had never seen such exquisite kimonos before. She just stood there gapping at them until Sano came in to see how she was doing.
Sano: Well, you are finally awake. I am glad to see that you are doing much better.
Megumi: Who are you? Are you the one that saved me from that horrible man?
Sano: I am Prince Sano, but you can just call me Sano. All of my friends do and yes I am the one that saved you. And your name is?
Megumi: Well then Sano I thank you for your help. And my name is Megumi.
Sano: No problem.
Megumi: How long have I been sleeping?
Sano: About three days.
Megumi: Three days!!! Oh my god I have to get home I have patients to look after. I must go.
Sano: Do not worry about it. The day after I found you I asked some people to find out what you do so I could inform you boss if you had one that you would be unable to work. When I found out that you were a doctor I asked my personal doctor to fill in for you until you were back on your feet and were up to returning to your job. I think my personal doctor was thrilled to get out of here to tell you the truth.
Megumi just stared at him open mouthed.
Megumi: You did that for me? A person you do not even know?
Sano smiled and nodded.
Sano: Well I felt like I had to do something I mean I did not want you to lose your job or have anyone worry about where you are.
Megumi: Thank you so much.
Sano: Well I have to go and attend some things. If you would like I will send in a maid to prepare you a bath and help you get dressed.
Megumi: I would like that very much. Thank you.
Sano turned to leave, but just before he left her room he turned around again.
Sano: Megumi I was wondering if you would join me for dinner tonight.
Megumi: I would love to.
With that said Sano left her room and asked a maid to go and help her get ready for dinner.
Tsubame woke up feeling like she had been dragged behind a carriage for several hours. She slowly opens her eyes to see a young boy sitting next to her.
Yahiko: Hello, how are you feeling?
Tsubame: Horrible. Where am I? And who are you?
Yahiko: I am Prince Yahiko and you are in my home.
Tsubame: What am I doing here?
Yahiko: I found you on the side of the road when was on my way home so I brought you with me. I had my personal doctors look you over and they say with a bit of rest you should be just fine.
Tsubame: Thank you for your help.
Yahiko: Well I must go now. I will send in a maid to help you clean up.
A few minuets later a maid walked in and started a bath for her. When Tsubame seteled down she thought about Yahiko. He was kinda cute she thought. Wait did I just think he was cute? I have never thought any one was cute let alone a guy. And he seemed really nice. Maybe he would go for someone like her. Stop dreaming she told herself. He is a prince and you are only a homeless girl. With these thoughts Tsubame climbed out of the bathtub and with the help of the maid got dressed in a silk kimono.
Megumi walked around the castle exploring her surroundings. She did not think Sano would mind if she looked around. She peeked into several different art rooms and rooms that held nothing at all. At last she came to a library. She stepped into it and had a look around. She was going to leave but then she came across a shelf full of medical books. She walked towards them and pulled a few off the shelf. She took them to a table and started to read. She was fascinated on how much information was in these books.
Now that Tsubame was dressed and dried off she got directions to where the library was. For as long as she could remember Tsubame had always been fascinated with books and how much she can learn from them. The last women she had lived with never allowed her to have any books saying that is was bad for a girl her age to read so much. Tsubame found the library and found a young woman who looked a few years older then she herself was. She quietly walked around the rows of books so as not to disturb the other women. She walked around until she found a book that she like but the only problem was she could not reach it. She tried to jump but that made her ribs feel like they were on fire. With a small cry she sat down and took quick shallow breaths until the pain subsided. She was about to get up when she noticed a hand there waiting to help her up. Tsubame took it gratefully and turned to face the women who had helped her.
Tsubame: Thank you for helping me.
Megumi: You are welcome. What were you doing on the floor like that?
Tsubame blushed thinking that she must looked stupid for sitting on the floor so upbruptly for no apparent reason.
Tsubame: I was trying to get a book on the top shelf and I streached my bruised ribs. I am sorry if I disturbed you.
Megumi: Here let me get the book you wanted. Which one is it?
Tsubame: It is the second to the last on the top shelf.
Megumi reached up and grabbed the book Tsubame was talking about. She handed it to the girl and smiled.
Megumi: By the way I am Megumi.
Tsubame: I am Tsubame. It is very nice to meet you.
They both smiled and went and sat down to talk about where they were from and how they came to be here. When Tsubame started to feel pain in her ribs again now that the herbs she took to help lesson the pain Megumi tended her and called for a maid to bring some tea and the required herbs that were needed for Tsubame. When Sano came looking for Megumi he found her and Tsubame laughing softly in the library like they were old friends. He smiled at both of them and invited Tsubame to dine with them to which she happily agreed to. Once seated and had been served Sano talked about the upcoming ball and if Megumi would like to attend with him. She nodded happy to be able to spend more time with Sano. By that time Yahiko had quietly came in and joined them. Knowing that his older brother was going to the ball he asked if he and if she wanted to Tsubame could come as well. Sano thought for a bit and then nodded thinking it was good that Yahiko was showing an interest in something other then fighting. Since the ball was tomorrow Sano sent for the dressmakers to come and fit kimonos for both the girls.
Almost all day Megumi and Tsubame were being fitted for lovely silk kimonos. They were so excited about going to the ball even though they did not know anyone there. Before they knew it they had to leave for the ball. On the way there no one said much but sat there in silence lost in their own thoughts. Upon entering the castle the girls were awed at how beautiful it was. The castle ballroom was big and spacious. There were a lot of people there and it made Megumi and Tsubame nervous because they did not know anyone. They walked around with Sano and Yahiko saying hi to a few of their friends here and there being introduced to everyone. Once they had said hi they stood around and waited to be called for dinner. After awhile they were joined by and man named Aoshi and a young girl named Misao. Megumi and Tsubame instantly felt a connection with her. They stood of to the side talking quietly about whom they were with and how they had met them. They found it odd that each of them could not remember anything before four years ago. Then they were called for dinner and did not have much time to talk. Dinner was a subdued affair for both of the girls since they did not know anyone. They listened to the endless chatter around them and wondered how much longer they were going to have to sit here and listen to everyone. At last the last dishes were taken way and it was time to dance. Sano asked Megumi to dance right away to which she happily accepted to do so. Yahiko was a little shy about asking Tsubame to dance but finally gathered up the courage when he kept getting mean looks from his brother out on the dance floor. As they danced away Sano pointed out Prince Kenshin who was dancing with a young girl and he had a look on his face like he was ready to kill. Sano finally pulled Megumi off the dance floor to sit down and rest their tired feet. They watched the other dancers in silence and noticed when Kenshin slipped off and came back with a girl that Megumi recognized as the girl that he had escorted to dinner. Sano asked her to dance again and they went back out onto the dance floor. They were made to stop when the King told them Kenshin had finally found a bride. They all waited for Kenshin to announce his choice and when he did they all turned to the girl he had last danced with. Megumi was happy for the girl and she noticed how white the girl's face went and it did not help that most of the girls were all giving her death glares. Now that the Prince had made his choice everyone started to leave except for a few people who would be spending the night. As Megumi was led away from the ballroom to her room she said goodnight to Sano and thanked him for inviting her. When she got to her room she found she was right next to Tsubame. After changing her clothes she bid Tsubame goodnight and went straight to sleep to dream about Sano and what her past might be like.
