Chapter 2: Being Syaoran's personal servant and The Secret behind the Brown Eyes
Lil LoveStar: Hi all Thank you for the reviews I loved all of them and for those of you who had questions they well be answered in this chapter.
The next morning as Cosette lay asleep in her bed. Her sheets came off her magically and she started to float out of her room. Normally in the palace the guards would have seen her. But at four in the morning the palace halls were bare. She floated up the stairs and to the end of the third floor hall. The last door opened to a large room with a green carpet, curtains and sheets (AN: Wonder whose room that is? ). She was very gently laid in the sheets. Three hours later Cosette awoke to find the prince standing over her. "What are you doing here?" She yelled as she covered herself with the sheets. (AN: Just to let you hentai people know she had clothes on, just a little revealing of her legs) The prince just looked at her with those amber eyes; she started to get scared and screamed. He backed up a bit from surprise and put a spell on her that made her mute, he sighed and said with a frown, "Ok I'm going to give you your voice back, but you must not scream." Cosette nodded and her voice returned. She whimpered and looked at him with a horrified look. He raised his brow at her weird reaction to him. "I won't hurt you, just speak."
"Y-You're the emperor's son?" She asked still a little shaky in her voice.
"You saw me last night, but yes I'm the prince, Li Xiaolang, Syaoran to you." "What's your name?"
"Well I did see you but not in the light. And my name is Cosette; at least that's what your father named me."
"So you think that you have a different name?" Syaoran asked with a snicker. Cosette ignored that and said, "Umm… I remember as a baby that my mother yelled my real name, but I can't remember what it is. I remember parts of a lullaby that she sang to me."
"Well for that song you sang, whatever it was. You have to be my personal servant. So from now on you will reside on the third floor in the room next to my own. And my father ordered that you can't tend to those children anymore-" He was cut off by her gasp and the sad look on her face.
"Y-You mean I can't see them anymore?" She asked almost crying.
"No you can't, now you will also join me in my morning activities. In other words you'll be waking up with me at four in the morning so I can practice my sword techniques." "Getting my clothes cleaned and putting them away in a neat and orderly fashion. And that is about it; otherwise you can just stay by my side." "Since I already had breakfast I suppose I'll show you to your room." He walked toward the door as she looked at him in question, he turned and asked, "Are you coming or not?" She snapped out of her trance and followed him; her room was on the right side whereas his was next to it at the end of the hall. He opened the door as they both stepped in, Cosette couldn't believe her eyes. The whole room was pretty in pink, everything was pink, well except the wooden dressers and drawers, but otherwise everything was pink. She fell in love with the room instantly. "Wow! Are you sure this is my room?" She asked looking around.
"Yes it is, actually this is the only room left on this floor, but I guess you like it?" He asked.
"Like it, I love it. Your father would never do this for a servant." She smiled.
"I'm not like my father in every area. Now since you're going to be up here I suppose you'll also need a new wardrobe. Across from your room is where you go for that, you'll meet my step cousin. Do you have anything you need from downstairs?"
"Umm there is one thing; a golden lion with angel wings and a little grey wolf, they're very small." Syaoran raised a brow at the request and the mention of a stuffed wolf but shrugged it off, "I'll have that boy get it for you. Make yourself comfortable till then." Syaoran said as he left. Cosette walked around the pink wonderland looking at its beauty, she looked out the window to find the training grounds and a huge garden next to it. The room was truly beautiful. "Humph, some punishment." A voice said from behind her. Cosette jumped and turned around to find a smiling Eriol standing there with her lion and wolf. "It's weird but I think the prince is nicer than he seems."
"To give you a room like this. YEA! It seems that way. I think Kero and Showron will love it. I know you love the pink." He smiled.
"It's better than the first room." The lion said flying around the new area. "I like it maybe now I'll get more sweets now that we're up here."
"I hope so, I hate sneaking at five in the morning." The wolf said.
"Kero, Showron stop being pigs, and stay here and don't fly around or you'll be discovered." Cosette said walking out with Eriol. "You want to come next door with me; I'm supposed to get a new wardrobe."
"Yeah I guess." He said as they walked across the hall to another door. Cosette knocked on the door softly. When the door opened Eriol was knocked out by the person on the other side, she was beautiful with violet colored hair and amethyst eyes. "Ahh you must be the girl Syaoran got. Come in, you look great, you'll be perfect for my designs." She beamed. Cosette sweatdropped and pulled Eriol in with her. For the next half an hour Cosette was measured from her feet to her head. Eriol watched and helped the girl, "By the way my name is Madison, what's yours?"
"My name is Cosette and his name is Eriol." Cosette smiled.
"Nice to meet you both." Madison smiled.
"Yes it is nice to see him isn't it?" A masculine voice said. Cosette, Eriol and Madison turned to find Syaoran standing there with an evil smile on, "I never knew you were also going to be my personal servant Eriol."
"I-I'm sorry your highness I'll leave." He looked at Cosette with a goodbye look and smiled at the angel that was Madison as he left.
"He's sweet." Madison said finishing her sketches and measurements when she looked at Cosette's head, "Oh no that bandana has to go Syaoran." He just shrugged. Madison untied it and took it off to reveal Cosette's long auburn hair. Syaoran's eyes widened and Madison's went starry at her shinny but messy locks. "Well I believe a trim is in order and a wash." Madison smiled. "I have a hunch you've never washed your hair before."
"The emperor never let me take it off." Cosette said looking in a mirror at how much better she looked with her hair showing. Madison pulled her into the bathroom to clean it. When they came out her hair was shiner and there weren't anymore tangles. Madison sat her down and started to brush, "You're going to cut it?" Syaoran asked.
"Yeah, it doesn't need to be this long." Madison said taking out a pair of scissors. After she was finished most of Cosette's hair was on the floor, her hair was now shoulder length with bangs and two long parts on each side of her face and two stubborn strands that stood at the very top (AN: Think of her as ten in the show). "You look very young now." Madison giggled. Cosette looked at herself in the mirror, for some reason her hair looked exactly right, but something was out of place that she couldn't place. "Something seems out of place." She whispered.
"What?" Syaoran asked.
"It seems weird but I don't think the color of my eyes go with my hair." Sakura said tilting her head.
"Oh don't be silly you look beautiful." Madison smiled. "And for now you can wear this." She pulled out a blue dress; it reminded Cosette of Sasami's hair. She took it with her to the bathroom and changed. It fit her perfectly. Syaoran smiled on the inside at how beautiful she looked. 'Syaoran stop acting like a baka! She's yours to control, don't spoil her!' Syaoran's evil voice screamed. He then frowned, realizing how he was acting and said, "Well I suppose its time you got started on your work Cosette."
"Huh? Oh of course highness, what do you wish of me?" Cosette asked a little taken back.
"Well since you're in such a delicate dress I suppose I can't have you do something that would ruin it… get my bath ready then." He smirked as he turned to leave and said before he walked out the door, "And I expect YOU to bathe me as well." He walked and felt Cosette's face pale then blush. Cosette looked at Madison with a horrified face as she just smiled and said, "Don't worry he's not going to do anything, just make sure that you don't get that dress wet." "My cousin is known for his little pranks to scare the girls in the kingdom, they are normally harmless. You'll be fine." Cosette just nodded and gulped as she looked out into the hallway to see if Syaoran was anywhere near. Going into his bathroom she found a number of rich oils and perfumes 'Wonder why Syaoran would have perfumes?' Cosette wondered. She filled the tub with hot water then put a little cold in it to warm it; she used to always do that for the children when they really needed a bath. Looking at the oils and perfumes she decided to chose the ones that mostly seemed like his type and smelled like him. She placed sandalwood oil in the warm water and cinnamon oil as well. She accidentally put in the scent of cherry blossoms in the water. 'Aww crap, now he'll smell like me.' Cosette groaned.
"Something smells nice." Syaoran said walking into his bathroom. "Smells like sandalwood and cinnamon." He was wrapped in a towel with his muscular chest showing. Cosette blushed and turned away so he wouldn't notice. He took off the towel while she wasn't watching and stepped in the warm water. He moaned softly as the water went all over his body. Cosette blushed even deeper at the moan and forced herself to look. "Very good Cosette." Syaoran said with his eyes closed and a smile on. (AN: IT'S A REAL SMILE PEOPLE!!! REAL)
"Thank you, I used to bathe the children." She said not thinking.
"And I believe you used the cherry blossom oil as well." He said breathing in the three scents.
"I really didn't mean to put that in, I'm sorry highness."
"It's fine." He said grabbing a washcloth and handing it to her. "Go on." He said. Cosette gulped again and put the cloth in the warm water and started on his chest, then going to his arms and shoulders and neck. "You're good; I think I might have you do this all the time." He said with his eyes still closed and smiling. She reluctantly moved to his stomach, legs, feet, and for the hardest part of all. 'You have to do this Cosette; otherwise you might be in big trouble.' She thought dipping her arm with the cloth in the water. Syaoran moaned at the contact and as she cleaned his manhood. After finishing she was so scared that she didn't hear him say to empty the tub. When she finally snapped out of it she quickly emptied the water and walked out of the bathroom only to have Syaoran grab her by the wrist, "I want you to know that I loved my bath and I want to give you one someday." He said huskily looking in her eyes. Looking real deep he noticed that she had contacts on and they were color contacts. "Wait a minute hold still." He said carefully taking out the contacts with his magic. The sun hit her eyes and she closed them shut and lowered her head in the reflex. Syaoran lifted her head and she slowly opened her eyes to reveal that she had emerald colored eyes that shined brightly. Syaoran blushed at her eyes and fell in love with their glow, green being his favorite color. Cosette looked at him with a confused look. She turned around and looked in the mirror at her emerald eyes.
"I always had a feeling my color eyes were different from brown." Cosette said out loud instead of in her head.
"I see why, you look better with your real colored eyes." Syaoran said huskily again, sending shivers down Cosette's spine.
