Chapter 5
Dream (Part 1)
"You messed up with that freaky Orihara!?!?!" Mito gasped. It was just after dinner and they were having a little chat in the lounge near their rooms.
"Who could have thought that a cute chameleon like that is owned by that freaky witch!" Yuta retorted. He shivered. Judging by the looks Maya gave her on dinner, he concluded that she is up to no good.
We all know to whom this 'no good' will fall to, right?
Now let's take a look in this lounge.
There were different sofas, all dark blue in color, circling the small antique table. A large French window gave them the opportunity to view the sea about half a kilometer away from the mansion. The moon shone brightly, illuminating the dark blue sea.
"Yuta, be on guard. We don't know what she is planning to do." The prince said.
"Probably out for your head." Tsujiai said thoughtfully. They took this as a joke, so they laughed.
"Literally!" Kaji added. They laughed louder, even Yuta himself.
"Your head? That would be nice. She could try the potion she had been itching to make. The problem is it needs a lot of human blood and a human brain." Luna appeared out of nowhere. They literally jumped.
We could feel the atmosphere getting colder as silence ruled over.
"Are...you s-serious?" Yuta asked nervously. His voice was barely above a whisper.
Luna glanced at him. Yuta flinched as her dull eyes surveyed him. "Hm...yes..."
Their eyes could only widen in fear.
"Haha!" Rio laughed mockingly. "If a potion like that does exist, it is in the black list: meaning it is forbidden. "
The people in the lounge could only let out a sigh of relief. Could you believe that a little boy comforted them?
Luna smirked. "Of course it is in the black list...as if Maya cares."
Another disturbing silence ruled over them.
"Um...do you think it's getting late?" Mito said cautiously. The idea of her brother being an ingredient for a potion was. well...disgusting.
"Mito-chan is right. I think we need to all go to bed." Mikami-sensei said. Yuta gave him a glare that says 'Who in the world gave you the permission to call my sister Mito-chan?!' Mikami-sensei just laughed nervously. Mito didn't comment but just giggled.
Yuta's eyes widened. Mito's reaction gave him the impression that he was soon going to have his brother-in-law. He gulped. Oh please! Not in the person of Mikami-sensei.
"Er...right. Okay, see you next morning." Nina said. She got Mito's hand and ran to their room. They were sharing since the room was too big for only one occupant.
"Er...good night!" Tsujiai, Kaji, the prince and Yuta chorused. They immediately got up and rushed to their rooms, leaving Mikami-sensei with Luna.
Mikami-sensei's eyes widened when he saw that he was left alone with Luna. He immediately got up and ran to his room, without even saying good-bye to Luna.
Luna stared into the distance. She watched as a cloud moved to cover the moon.
"I wonder what dream will they have tonight..." Luna smirked to herself, an evil one, as if she was planning something...
She then walked to the passage leading to her room. It was time to retire for the night.
"Why am I feeling that something bad will happen?" She muttered unconsciously. She shook the thought off, thinking it might just be because of the malicious glint Maya had when she looked at Yuta.
Poor guy.
--- Mito and Nina's room -----
The room of these two girls was formerly the room of the king and the queen in their stay here. Maya didn't bother to open up the other rooms for it would only mean a lot of cleaning.
The room was dark blue in color, like the other rooms in the guests' wing. There was a queen size bed in the middle with a dark blue cover. There were also 2 side tables on either side of the bed. Expensive dark blue curtains decorated the French windows.
Currently, the two occupants of this room are asleep, like everyone else is.
Mito was standing in a vast field of flowers. Different flowers displayed their beauty as the blazing sun shone on them. Different birds were also flying in the sky.
"Where am I?" She asked herself. She surveyed the place and decided to take a walk.
"I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!" A voice echoed.
Suddenly, she heard some footsteps behind her. She concluded that the person behind her was running. She stopped in her tracks and turned around.
BLAG!
As if on cue, she collided with the person, causing them to fall down.
"Ouch!" Mito got up, feeling the pain in her back. She then opened her eyes to see the person. Her eyes widened.
It was a bunny.
Bunny...
Bunny......
Yes. A bunny.
Mito rubbed her eyes. She then figured out that she was facing the bunny's back. But why is the bunny taller than her and stands on two legs?
The bunny turned around. Mito gasped.
It wasn't a real a bunny.
Rather, it was a freaky blonde guy with that huge grin in his face, wearing a bunny costume. (1)
"Hello!" The man greeted. "I am Mr. Rabbit! 22 years old, single." The man shook her arm.
"Mr. Rabbit?" Mito finally found her voice. Hey! Mr. Rabbit sounds utterly familiar...
"Yes. You are right!" The man continued to grin wider. "What is your name? Alice?"
"Alice?" Mito raised an eyebrow. "My name is Mito."
"Mito?" 'Mr. rabbit' said thoughtfully. "I swear your name must be Alice! Oh well, maybe they changed it a little." He grinned like a maniac, again. He then took a golden watch from nowhere. "I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!" He jumped up and down, panicking.
"Late? For what?" Mito found herself asking.
"For school!!!" 'Mr. Rabbit' said, as he looked fanatically around the place.
"School? What Magic school are you in?" Mito asked. She raised her eyebrow. This man is still in school? At age 22?
'Mr. Rabbit' stopped his panicking for a while and flashed her a smile, maybe somewhat in between a smile and a smirk.
"I am a teacher!" He said, eyes blazing. "A teacher must be a model for his students! And that is why I must not be late!" insert GTO background music whenever Onizuka makes a heart-warming speech
Mito could only clap out of sarcasm. This man is really out of his mind. School? In a bunny costume?
'Mr. Rabbit' then bent down and whispered in her ear. "And also, if I will be late, the vice principal will kick me out." He straightened and adjusted his costume. Mito could only raise her eyebrows.
"Well, I must get going now! Bye!" 'Mr. Rabbit' hopped his way. Mito watched him as he reached a tree. Surprisingly, a door opened in the tree trunk and he hopped inside, closing the door in the process.
Mito just stood there. Okay, that was weird.
"Oh! I remember!" Mito snapped out of her trance as she heard a voice behind her. It was Nina.
"Nina? What are you doing here?" Mito asked. Nina walked nearer to her.
"I remember now!" Nina smiled at Mito, totally ignoring Mito's question. "'Mr. Rabbit' is the rabbit in the fairy tale Alice in Wonderland!" (2)
"You're right!" Mito said thoughtfully. She turned to Nina. "Why are you here?"
"I don't know. Maybe we are just dreaming." Nina said as she looked around.
"Anyway, where should we go now?" Mito asked.
"There!" Nina pointed a castle across the lake. Mito gasped. That was not there a while ago.
---------------------------
"Where am I?" Tsujiai muttered. He looked around to see that he was in some sort of enchanted forest.
"You are in the 'Damsel in distress forest.'" A voice echoed from his back. He turned around to face the person. He raised an eyebrow after seeing that it was a boy.
"Who are you?" Tsujiai asked.
"I am just a wandering wizard!" The boy said cheerfully. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a dark blue cloak with golden stars in it. He also had a dark blue pointed hat, also with golden stars. (3) On his right hand was a fan.
"Could I ask you a favor?" He continued. His expression changed from cheery to very serious.
"Favor?" Tsujiai asked. If this was a dream, it was very weird.
"Could you save the damsel in that castle?" Using his fan, he pointed the castle on the far end of the forest.
"Is there a damsel in distress in that castle?" Tsujiai asked sarcastically. The castle was a nice one, with plenty of decoration, as though a party was being held.
The wizard's eyes widened. "Of course! Please help her! She is in danger!" He knelt in front of Tsujiai, puppy eyes included.
Tsujiai's right eye twitched. It was his weakness-puppy eyes. "Okay."
"Yahoo!!!" The boy began jumping up and down.
"BUT!" Tsujiai interrupted. "You need to lead me there! Also, you will help me fight any monsters present."
The boy smiled. "Of cou-" He was interrupted by a loud noise, as though someone was running towards them, with incredible speed
"KAICHOU!!!" The noise stopped as two boys appeared in front of them. One was panting heavily while the other one was unconscious.
"Er...Suoh! Akira! hehe... hi?" The wizard said. He hid behind Tsujiai.
"Who are you?" Tsujiai asked. This dream is getting weirder and weirder every second.
"Er...they are my friends!" The wizard said. He was still hiding behind Tsujiai.
"KAICHOU!!! ENOUGH OF THESE GAMES! You need to finish your work! Our room is already piled up with papers! One wrong move and you'll be buried in it!" The boy with indigo hair said. He was so full of fury.
"Er...right! I will finish them!" The wizard said. "Please save the damsel in distress for me!" He addressed Tsujiai while the boy with indigo hair dragged him by his collar.
"Wait!" Tsujiai tried to follow them but they were gone. This dream is REALLY weird. "What will I do now?" He noticed a piece of paper on the ground.
To the knight in shinning armor:
Please save the damsel in distress. Here is the map that will lead you to the castle. Good Luck!
The wandering wizard.
"Weird..." Tsujiai muttered. He then looked at the map. "Might as well follow this."
-----------------------
"Mito! I'm tired!" Nina complained. She sat on a rock. Mito followed.
"We have been walking for hours already but the castle is still far." Mito said as she looked around for anyone.
"Look! A carriage!" Nina pointed a golden carriage that was being pulled by two horses. It stopped in front of them. A man emerged. He had long blonde hair and was wearing a brown cloak.
"Sebastian!" Both Nina and Mito exclaimed. They hugged each other. "We are saved!"
"Hm.." Sebastian surveyed both of them. Mito and Nina shivered. He had a very sharp gaze.
"Er...Sebastian?" Nina started. She jumped when Sebastian pulled her.
"I found 'the Greatest Witch!'" Sebastian exclaimed. He ushered Nina inside the carriage.
"Wait! I think you got the wrong person!" Nina tried to get out but with no avail.
"Hey! Where are you taking Nina?!" Mito shouted. She banged the door with all her might.
"To the castle!" Sebastian said. The carriage started moving, leaving Mito behind.
----------------------
"Where the heck are you planning to bring me?!" Nina screeched. This is very weird.
Sebastian eyed her. "Where? You are supposed to be in the castle, Nina-sama. Have you forgotten that you will attend a ball there as the 'Greatest Witch of all time'?"
Nina's eyes widened. "Greatest Witch of all time? A-are you j-joking?"
Sebastian raised an eyebrow. He felt Nina's forehead. "Are you sick or something?"
"No! But you got the wrong person!" Nina protested. Sebastian just sighed.
---------------------
"What am I going to do now?!" Mito muttered. She has no idea on what she'll do. Sebastian got Nina, saying that Nina was the 'Greatest Witch of all time'. This dream really is very weird.
"M-M-MIIIIIIIITOOO-CHAN!!!" A voice called her. She turned around. There was no one there, although the voice sounded familiar.
"MITO-chan! Here! Help!!!" Mito's gaze fell to the lake where she saw a man fighting for his dear life: he was drowning.
"GAH!" Mito gasped. She immediately went to help the man. Her eyes widened when she saw who it was.
Mikami-sensei.
"Mikami-sensei! Are you alright?" Mito asked as Mikami-sensei coughed the water he swallowed.
"I'm alright. Thank you." Mikami-sensei said. He took a deep breath. "Phew! I thought I was dead for sure!"
"What happened?" Mito asked.
Mikami-sensei scratched his head. "I really don't know. I just remembered falling from the sky then dropping at the lake."
"Weird..." Mito muttered. Mikami-sensei shot her a questioning gaze. Mito laughed nervously. "Er...nothing!." She then remembered Nina. "Oh! Mikami-sensei! You've got to help me!"
"Why?"
"Nina's been kidnapped by Sebastian! Well, Nina didn't want to come so it's called kidnapping. Anyway, they went to the castle." Mito pointed the castle.
A glint flickered from Mikami-sensei's eyes. "We need to save her! What if she will be forced to marry an ugly old hag?! Let's go!" Mikami-sensei stood up and arranged his now dry clothes.
Mito sighed. "This is really weird..."
-------------------------
"I would like to present to you the greatest witch of all time!!! Sakura Nina!!!" A man wearing a tuxedo announced. He had short, yellow pointy hair and brown eyes. A wave of electricity seemed to vibrate from him. (4)
The people clapped, majority cheered and stood up. Nina found herself wearing a very nice off-shoulder red gown that trailed all the way down to the floor. It took a lot of effort to persuade her to wear the gown. Sebastian almost had a nervous breakdown. She had a puzzled expression as she made her way down to the marble staircase leading to the wide hall.
Nina's eyes widened when she saw the person who is her escort.
The prince.
She knew that she was now red as a tomato so she turned her face to avoid the gorgeous prince.
"Why the heck am I blushing!?" Nina muttered. She decided to just focus her attention on the people, which was harder than she thought.
She sighed when she reached the bottom of the stairs. The prince gave her a puzzled expression as he offered his arm to Nina. Nina's eyes widened. So the prince was also pulled to this 'WEIRD' ordeal.
"Let's start our celebration!!!" Another guy in tuxedo appeared. He had brown spiky hair and violet eyes behind his purple glasses. (5)
Music started to play. Some people, with their partners, made their way to the dance floor and swayed with the music. Nina found a seat near the wine fountain and sat. The prince followed.
"Nina, do you know why we are here?" The prince whispered.
"I don't know myself!" Nina whispered back. She looked around in hopes of finding some of her friends.
"How did you get here?" The prince asked.
"I really don't know. Sebastian just appeared and pulled me here."
"We're the same." The prince sighed.
"Do you know how we can get out here?" Nina asked.
"If I know, I would have left this place." The prince responded. They were silent for a while.
"My prince!" The prince's personal assistant came to them. He politely bowed at Nina before turning to the prince.
"The king and the queen wanted to talk to you for a while my prince." The assistant said.
The prince's eyes widened. "What?! My parents are also here?!"
The assistant gave him a puzzled expression.
Nina nudged the prince. She gave him the look that says 'Just act with them!'. The prince nodded.
"Er...right." He got up and followed the assistant.
Nina found herself alone. She sighed. This dream is really weird.
"Nina?!" Nina jumped at the mention of her name. She turned to find the owner of the voice. It was Rio.
"Rio?!" Nina's eyes widened. Rio was wearing a tuxedo and his hair was neatly combed.
"Nina! I'm so happy you are here!" Rio said. He looked around and sharpened his gaze.
"Why? Is there something wrong?" Nina asked after seeing the worried expression on Rio's face.
Rio faced her. "They thought that I was the prince from some sort of kingdom that will marry the sister of the queen here!" Tears splattered his tuxedo.
"What's wrong with that?" Nina asked thoughtfully. "Don't you want to become king of some sort?"
"WHAT!?" Rio stopped crying. "Haven't you seen the queen!? She is an old hag!? What do you think is the age of her sister!?"
"Er...you are right.." Nina said as gloom marks appeared on their head.
"Rio dear!!!" A high-pitched voice called. Rio shuddered. Nina turned to see it was the queen.
"You must be Sakura Nina!" The queen said as she shook Nina's hand. "It is a pleasure to meet you!" The queen was a very large woman. She had curly blonde hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a pink gown with lots of ribbons and frills. She also had a lot of jewelry that she could be mistaken as a stand of jewelry rather than a queen.
"Rio dear, I would like you to meet my sister." The queen pushed a girl. She was the same age as Rio and had brown hair. Her eyes widened at the sight of the two.
"Tama?!" Rio mouthed. Tama nodded.
"Oh! So you two know each other! Great!" The queen squealed in delight. "Well, might as give you some time!" She walked away.
"Tama? Why are you here?" Nina asked. Nina had already met Tama and Ayu at dinner.
"They just got me, saying I was the queen's sister." Tama said. Nina smirked after seeing a hint of blush on Tama's cheeks.
"Er...what now?" Rio asked. Nina suppressed a giggle after noticing that Rio was also blushing.
"Why don't you two have some time together?" Nina immediately got up and walked away, leaving the two teens.
-------------------------
"Hey! I'm innocent!! HELP!!!" Kaji pleaded. He was on the castle's dungeon.
"Shut up! Mwahahahaha!" The guard said. He had short blonde hair and black bulging eyes. He was eating an apple.
"I TOLD YOU I'M INNOCENT!" Kaji rapped the bars with all his might.
"Those will not bulge, you know. Just do your reasoning in the front of the king!" The man shot Kaji a glare that says 'If you don't shut up, you're dead'.
"Here is the prisoner's meal." A lady appeared with a tray of food. She was wearing a black cloak that hid her face. The guard smirked.
"Mysterious are we?" The guard said. He took the tray from the lady ad looked intently at it.
Kaji examined the lady. He was sure that he has seen this lady before.
"Hey, lady! Could I have this apple." The guard interrupted Kaji's thoughts. He was holding a blood red apple. Kaji swallowed. The apple looks tempting.
"Sure." The lady answered. The guard took a bit on it.
"This is very deli-" The guard didn't had the opportunity to finish what he was saying for he fell on the floor with a loud 'thud'.
"What the-" Kaji started. The lady immediately placed her hand on Kaji's mouth.
"Shhh! I'm here to help you, Kaji-sama." The lady whispered as she fumbled with the guard's pockets. At last she found the key.
"Who are you?" Kaji asked as the lady opened the door.
"Tateishi Ayu, remember?" The lady pulled the hood of her cloak.
"Tateishi! Thank you for saving me!" Kaji said. He watched Ayu as she pulled something out from the cabinet in the far corner of the dungeon.
"Here. Wear this." Ayu threw him a black cloak and a wig.
Kaji raised his eyebrows. "I understand why I need to wear the cloak, but why the wig!" He shivered. The memory of dressing up as a girl to escape his fan girls lingered in his memory.
Ayu blushed slightly. "Because it would make you look like a girl, thus, it is less conspicuous."
"No! I will not-" Kaji stated but the look Ayu gave him made him rethink his answer.
"Okay, I will. But first, why are you here?" Kaji asked while putting on the cloak.
"I really don't know. What I remember is that I was in the kitchen when I saw you being dragged here. Luckily, there was a bottle of sleeping potion in the cupboard." Ayu said. Seeing the shocked expression on Kaji's face, Ayu continued. "Don't ask me why there is a sleeping potion on the cupboard."
"Why are you here? I mean, is this the Orihara mansion?" Kaji asked as he put the wig into position.
"No. This is not Orihara mansion. I don't know myself why am I here. Anyway, why are you here?"
"I was with Yuta when some guards dragged us here, saying that we were assassins that were sent by the neighboring country."
"Who will you assassinate?" Ayu asked with a smirk.
"The king, my lady." Kaji responded with a high-pitched voice. He twirled in front of Ayu. "Do I look nice?"
Ayu giggled. "I would say you are a lot prettier than me!"
"Let's go! We need to find where they hid Yuta." Kaji said. They left the dungeon.
---------------------------
"What will I do now?" Nina muttered. She was trying to get out of this hall, but to now avail.
"LOOK MAMA!!! IT'S SAKURA NINA!!!" A voice echoed. Nina looked at her right to see a boy of her age, his brown hair quite dismantled. On his right hand was a red camera while on his left was his 'mama's' hand. (6)
Nina gasped as people started to go berserk on the boy's remark. Nina found herself being crowded by people.
"Aw! Sakura Nina! Please let me have your autograph!"
"Please sign my hat!!!"
"NO! She'll sign mine first!"
"OUCH! My FOOT! You idiot! How could you not see where you are going! You have a pair of eyes! Each of your eyes consists of the cornea, pupil, iris, lens, retina, choroids, sclera, vitreous humor and other tiny blood vessels. Your eyes are very complex! Why?! Insert some more scientific terms and a lot of explaining"
"How did you become 'The greatest Witch'?"
"Sakura Nina? Do you have a boyfriend?"
"I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU, SAKURA NINA!!! WILL YOU MARRY ME?!!"
Everything's spinning...
Everything's blurry.......
My ears are already aching....
I swear, if they will not stop, I am going to snap....
"COULD YOU PLEASE SHUT YOUR MOUTHS!!!" Nina screeched. She was breathing heavily, eyes blazing. Who could have thought that being 'The Greatest Witch' would be this annoying?
Everyone in the hall became silent. Not a pin drop was heard. Who would want to make Nina more pissed? Do that and you are signing your own death sentence.
"HEY! What happened? Why did you stop? WE want some actions here!" A man shouted. The people looked at him, eyes wide. He ignored them and continued drinking his wine.
"You want some action?" Nina whispered. Uh..oh...
"Whatevah!" The man waved his hand.
An evil smile crept its way to Nina's lips. Everyone in the room gulped.
"Sure." Nina made her way to the man, hair and clothes dishelmed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To Be Continued...
So what do you think? Please Review!!!
I'm so sorry if this chapter was really corny. (There will still be part 2.) I was just so depressed that Mario Musicanova died! (Gene Shaft) I hoped that he and Beatrice will get together but it shattered!!! ARGH!!! So I am releasing my sadness in this chapter.
I am also sorry that Maya's revenge wasn't in this chapter, maybe in the chapter after next or something.
Oh, and the Urumi thing last chapter was a product of my disarranged imagination and sugar. Grins
(1) Believe me or not, that bunny was ONIZUKA! --Don't own him.
(2) Alice in Wonderland does not belong to me.
(3) The costume was like that of the wizard in Enchanted Kingdom.
(4) Believe me or not, that was Amano Ginji. --- Don't own him too.
(6) Mido Ban --- Don't own him again.
(6) That was Kawanakajima Jun!

"I am just a wandering wizard!" The boy said cheerfully. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a dark blue cloak with golden stars in it. He also had a dark blue pointed hat, also with golden stars. (3) On his right hand was a fan.
"Could I ask you a favor?" He continued. His expression changed from cheery to very serious.
"Favor?" Tsujiai asked. If this was a dream, it was very weird.
"Could you save the damsel in that castle?" Using his fan, he pointed the castle on the far end of the forest.
"Is there a damsel in distress in that castle?" Tsujiai asked sarcastically. The castle was a nice one, with plenty of decoration, as though a party was being held.
The wizard's eyes widened. "Of course! Please help her! She is in danger!" He knelt in front of Tsujiai, puppy eyes included.
Tsujiai's right eye twitched. It was his weakness-puppy eyes. "Okay."
"Yahoo!!!" The boy began jumping up and down.
"BUT!" Tsujiai interrupted. "You need to lead me there! Also, you will help me fight any monsters present."
The boy smiled. "Of cou-" He was interrupted by a loud noise, as though someone was running towards them, with incredible speed
"KAICHOU!!!" The noise stopped as two boys appeared in front of them. One was panting heavily while the other one was unconscious.
"Er...Suoh! Akira! hehe... hi?" The wizard said. He hid behind Tsujiai.
"Who are you?" Tsujiai asked. This dream is getting weirder and weirder every second.
"Er...they are my friends!" The wizard said. He was still hiding behind Tsujiai.
"KAICHOU!!! ENOUGH OF THESE GAMES! You need to finish your work! Our room is already piled up with papers! One wrong move and you'll be buried in it!" The boy with indigo hair said. He was so full of fury.
"Er...right! I will finish them!" The wizard said. "Please save the damsel in distress for me!" He addressed Tsujiai while the boy with indigo hair dragged him by his collar.
"Wait!" Tsujiai tried to follow them but they were gone. This dream is REALLY weird. "What will I do now?" He noticed a piece of paper on the ground.
To the knight in shinning armor:
Please save the damsel in distress. Here is the map that will lead you to the castle. Good Luck!
The wandering wizard.
"Weird..." Tsujiai muttered. He then looked at the map. "Might as well follow this."
-----------------------
"Mito! I'm tired!" Nina complained. She sat on a rock. Mito followed.
"We have been walking for hours already but the castle is still far." Mito said as she looked around for anyone.
"Look! A carriage!" Nina pointed a golden carriage that was being pulled by two horses. It stopped in front of them. A man emerged. He had long blonde hair and was wearing a brown cloak.
"Sebastian!" Both Nina and Mito exclaimed. They hugged each other. "We are saved!"
"Hm.." Sebastian surveyed both of them. Mito and Nina shivered. He had a very sharp gaze.
"Er...Sebastian?" Nina started. She jumped when Sebastian pulled her.
"I found 'the Greatest Witch!'" Sebastian exclaimed. He ushered Nina inside the carriage.
"Wait! I think you got the wrong person!" Nina tried to get out but with no avail.
"Hey! Where are you taking Nina?!" Mito shouted. She banged the door with all her might.
"To the castle!" Sebastian said. The carriage started moving, leaving Mito behind.
----------------------
"Where the heck are you planning to bring me?!" Nina screeched. This is very weird.
Sebastian eyed her. "Where? You are supposed to be in the castle, Nina-sama. Have you forgotten that you will attend a ball there as the 'Greatest Witch of all time'?"
Nina's eyes widened. "Greatest Witch of all time? A-are you j-joking?"
Sebastian raised an eyebrow. He felt Nina's forehead. "Are you sick or something?"
"No! But you got the wrong person!" Nina protested. Sebastian just sighed.
---------------------
"What am I going to do now?!" Mito muttered. She has no idea on what she'll do. Sebastian got Nina, saying that Nina was the 'Greatest Witch of all time'. This dream really is very weird.
"M-M-MIIIIIIIITOOO-CHAN!!!" A voice called her. She turned around. There was no one there, although the voice sounded familiar.
"MITO-chan! Here! Help!!!" Mito's gaze fell to the lake where she saw a man fighting for his dear life: he was drowning.
"GAH!" Mito gasped. She immediately went to help the man. Her eyes widened when she saw who it was.
Mikami-sensei.
"Mikami-sensei! Are you alright?" Mito asked as Mikami-sensei coughed the water he swallowed.
"I'm alright. Thank you." Mikami-sensei said. He took a deep breath. "Phew! I thought I was dead for sure!"
"What happened?" Mito asked.
Mikami-sensei scratched his head. "I really don't know. I just remembered falling from the sky then dropping at the lake."
"Weird..." Mito muttered. Mikami-sensei shot her a questioning gaze. Mito laughed nervously. "Er...nothing!." She then remembered Nina. "Oh! Mikami-sensei! You've got to help me!"
"Why?"
"Nina's been kidnapped by Sebastian! Well, Nina didn't want to come so it's called kidnapping. Anyway, they went to the castle." Mito pointed the castle.
A glint flickered from Mikami-sensei's eyes. "We need to save her! What if she will be forced to marry an ugly old hag?! Let's go!" Mikami-sensei stood up and arranged his now dry clothes.
Mito sighed. "This is really weird..."
-------------------------
"I would like to present to you the greatest witch of all time!!! Sakura Nina!!!" A man wearing a tuxedo announced. He had short, yellow pointy hair and brown eyes. A wave of electricity seemed to vibrate from him. (4)
The people clapped, majority cheered and stood up. Nina found herself wearing a very nice off-shoulder red gown that trailed all the way down to the floor. It took a lot of effort to persuade her to wear the gown. Sebastian almost had a nervous breakdown. She had a puzzled expression as she made her way down to the marble staircase leading to the wide hall.
Nina's eyes widened when she saw the person who is her escort.
The prince.
She knew that she was now red as a tomato so she turned her face to avoid the gorgeous prince.
"Why the heck am I blushing!?" Nina muttered. She decided to just focus her attention on the people, which was harder than she thought.
She sighed when she reached the bottom of the stairs. The prince gave her a puzzled expression as he offered his arm to Nina. Nina's eyes widened. So the prince was also pulled to this 'WEIRD' ordeal.
"Let's start our celebration!!!" Another guy in tuxedo appeared. He had brown spiky hair and violet eyes behind his purple glasses. (5)
Music started to play. Some people, with their partners, made their way to the dance floor and swayed with the music. Nina found a seat near the wine fountain and sat. The prince followed.
"Nina, do you know why we are here?" The prince whispered.
"I don't know myself!" Nina whispered back. She looked around in hopes of finding some of her friends.
"How did you get here?" The prince asked.
"I really don't know. Sebastian just appeared and pulled me here."
"We're the same." The prince sighed.
"Do you know how we can get out here?" Nina asked.
"If I know, I would have left this place." The prince responded. They were silent for a while.
"My prince!" The prince's personal assistant came to them. He politely bowed at Nina before turning to the prince.
"The king and the queen wanted to talk to you for a while my prince." The assistant said.
The prince's eyes widened. "What?! My parents are also here?!"
The assistant gave him a puzzled expression.
Nina nudged the prince. She gave him the look that says 'Just act with them!'. The prince nodded.
"Er...right." He got up and followed the assistant.
Nina found herself alone. She sighed. This dream is really weird.
"Nina?!" Nina jumped at the mention of her name. She turned to find the owner of the voice. It was Rio.
"Rio?!" Nina's eyes widened. Rio was wearing a tuxedo and his hair was neatly combed.
"Nina! I'm so happy you are here!" Rio said. He looked around and sharpened his gaze.
"Why? Is there something wrong?" Nina asked after seeing the worried expression on Rio's face.
Rio faced her. "They thought that I was the prince from some sort of kingdom that will marry the sister of the queen here!" Tears splattered his tuxedo.
"What's wrong with that?" Nina asked thoughtfully. "Don't you want to become king of some sort?"
"WHAT!?" Rio stopped crying. "Haven't you seen the queen!? She is an old hag!? What do you think is the age of her sister!?"
"Er...you are right.." Nina said as gloom marks appeared on their head.
"Rio dear!!!" A high-pitched voice called. Rio shuddered. Nina turned to see it was the queen.
"You must be Sakura Nina!" The queen said as she shook Nina's hand. "It is a pleasure to meet you!" The queen was a very large woman. She had curly blonde hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a pink gown with lots of ribbons and frills. She also had a lot of jewelry that she could be mistaken as a stand of jewelry rather than a queen.
"Rio dear, I would like you to meet my sister." The queen pushed a girl. She was the same age as Rio and had brown hair. Her eyes widened at the sight of the two.
"Tama?!" Rio mouthed. Tama nodded.
"Oh! So you two know each other! Great!" The queen squealed in delight. "Well, might as give you some time!" She walked away.
"Tama? Why are you here?" Nina asked. Nina had already met Tama and Ayu at dinner.
"They just got me, saying I was the queen's sister." Tama said. Nina smirked after seeing a hint of blush on Tama's cheeks.
"Er...what now?" Rio asked. Nina suppressed a giggle after noticing that Rio was also blushing.
"Why don't you two have some time together?" Nina immediately got up and walked away, leaving the two teens.
-------------------------
"Hey! I'm innocent!! HELP!!!" Kaji pleaded. He was on the castle's dungeon.
"Shut up! Mwahahahaha!" The guard said. He had short blonde hair and black bulging eyes. He was eating an apple.
"I TOLD YOU I'M INNOCENT!" Kaji rapped the bars with all his might.
"Those will not bulge, you know. Just do your reasoning in the front of the king!" The man shot Kaji a glare that says 'If you don't shut up, you're dead'.
"Here is the prisoner's meal." A lady appeared with a tray of food. She was wearing a black cloak that hid her face. The guard smirked.
"Mysterious are we?" The guard said. He took the tray from the lady ad looked intently at it.
Kaji examined the lady. He was sure that he has seen this lady before.
"Hey, lady! Could I have this apple." The guard interrupted Kaji's thoughts. He was holding a blood red apple. Kaji swallowed. The apple looks tempting.
"Sure." The lady answered. The guard took a bit on it.
"This is very deli-" The guard didn't had the opportunity to finish what he was saying for he fell on the floor with a loud 'thud'.
"What the-" Kaji started. The lady immediately placed her hand on Kaji's mouth.
"Shhh! I'm here to help you, Kaji-sama." The lady whispered as she fumbled with the guard's pockets. At last she found the key.
"Who are you?" Kaji asked as the lady opened the door.
"Tateishi Ayu, remember?" The lady pulled the hood of her cloak.
"Tateishi! Thank you for saving me!" Kaji said. He watched Ayu as she pulled something out from the cabinet in the far corner of the dungeon.
"Here. Wear this." Ayu threw him a black cloak and a wig.
Kaji raised his eyebrows. "I understand why I need to wear the cloak, but why the wig!" He shivered. The memory of dressing up as a girl to escape his fan girls lingered in his memory.
Ayu blushed slightly. "Because it would make you look like a girl, thus, it is less conspicuous."
"No! I will not-" Kaji stated but the look Ayu gave him made him rethink his answer.
"Okay, I will. But first, why are you here?" Kaji asked while putting on the cloak.
"I really don't know. What I remember is that I was in the kitchen when I saw you being dragged here. Luckily, there was a bottle of sleeping potion in the cupboard." Ayu said. Seeing the shocked expression on Kaji's face, Ayu continued. "Don't ask me why there is a sleeping potion on the cupboard."
"Why are you here? I mean, is this the Orihara mansion?" Kaji asked as he put the wig into position.
"No. This is not Orihara mansion. I don't know myself why am I here. Anyway, why are you here?"
"I was with Yuta when some guards dragged us here, saying that we were assassins that were sent by the neighboring country."
"Who will you assassinate?" Ayu asked with a smirk.
"The king, my lady." Kaji responded with a high-pitched voice. He twirled in front of Ayu. "Do I look nice?"
Ayu giggled. "I would say you are a lot prettier than me!"
"Let's go! We need to find where they hid Yuta." Kaji said. They left the dungeon.
---------------------------
"What will I do now?" Nina muttered. She was trying to get out of this hall, but to now avail.
"LOOK MAMA!!! IT'S SAKURA NINA!!!" A voice echoed. Nina looked at her right to see a boy of her age, his brown hair quite dismantled. On his right hand was a red camera while on his left was his 'mama's' hand. (6)
Nina gasped as people started to go berserk on the boy's remark. Nina found herself being crowded by people.
"Aw! Sakura Nina! Please let me have your autograph!"
"Please sign my hat!!!"
"NO! She'll sign mine first!"
"OUCH! My FOOT! You idiot! How could you not see where you are going! You have a pair of eyes! Each of your eyes consists of the cornea, pupil, iris, lens, retina, choroids, sclera, vitreous humor and other tiny blood vessels. Your eyes are very complex! Why?! Insert some more scientific terms and a lot of explaining"
"How did you become 'The greatest Witch'?"
"Sakura Nina? Do you have a boyfriend?"
"I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU, SAKURA NINA!!! WILL YOU MARRY ME?!!"
Everything's spinning...
Everything's blurry.......
My ears are already aching....
I swear, if they will not stop, I am going to snap....
"COULD YOU PLEASE SHUT YOUR MOUTHS!!!" Nina screeched. She was breathing heavily, eyes blazing. Who could have thought that being 'The Greatest Witch' would be this annoying?
Everyone in the hall became silent. Not a pin drop was heard. Who would want to make Nina more pissed? Do that and you are signing your own death sentence.
"HEY! What happened? Why did you stop? WE want some actions here!" A man shouted. The people looked at him, eyes wide. He ignored them and continued drinking his wine.
"You want some action?" Nina whispered. Uh..oh...
"Whatevah!" The man waved his hand.
An evil smile crept its way to Nina's lips. Everyone in the room gulped.
"Sure." Nina made her way to the man, hair and clothes dishelmed.
