Chapter6: Handprints on the window
Hi there! I really really want to thank you for all the great reviews so far. 19 I think so far.well 20 but the one from Senator Natalie Amidala doesn't count cuz she's in my class and talks to me everyday so.*hides under the table*.I highly doubt that she'll be reading this cuz she's too damn lazy lazy lazy lazy lazy.. But if you happen to read this at the moment Nat. Please don't kill me tomorrow.
To pheonixelemental: thanks for the reviews so far. Well about the name Tequ!ni. The call sign is just for fun and the name Tequini is Latin and means beautiful goddess. Only joking.I'm so sorry that I haven't got a reasonable explanation that involves ancient languages or such stuff which would probably be something a person with your intellect (I've read your BIO really interesting, we have the same interests, and about the vampire thing well ditto ,psychic to be precise, not obsessed with blood, well a bit maybe) would expect. Joking again. Anyways the nickname has something to do with Tequila.but I can't remember why.strange ;-P
On with the story.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hitomi sat down and started to tell them how she got here, of course letting out the 'more interesting' details.
Van sat down next to her. While breakfasting and talking to the girls, Van kept glancing in Hitomi's direction and a few of his looks fell down the front of her blouse into her cleavage. Hitomi blushed upon feeling a light touch at the side of her knee and stiffened upon noticing that it was Van's knee which had brushed against hers. It happened quite often and half an hour later Hitomi's face was beat red.
This didn't go unnoticed to Millerna. Being the expert when it came to love things she immediately knew what was up between Van and Hitomi. Millerna kicked Merle's shin lightly. She gave a short nod in response.
This moment a servant appeared at the end of the long dining hall, "Your majesty! Your presence is requested in the throne hall." Van rolled his eyes, "Tell them I'll be there in a minute." The servant bowed and disappeared. Van got up, "Well Hitomi, I hope you have nothing against spending your time with Millerna and Merle." With that Van took Hitomi's hand and placed a light kiss on it's palm. "Ladies.", Van jogged away.
What was left was a dumbfolded Hitomi with a red face. Her feelings were mixed up again and her body was still full of electricity because of the kiss. 'Oh god Hitomi get a hold of yourself. It was just a kiss on the hand, but his lips felt so good. I wish he hadn't just kissed my hand. I wish he." "Hitomi?" "Huh?.", she snapped out of her dream like state.
Millerna was waving a hand in front of her face. "Have you finished? I've been meaning to go to the seamstress. Merle is coming too. Right Merle?.Merle?" Millerna looked around and caught a glimpse of white and orange, disappearing through the doors.
"Well it was worth a try. I know that she would never ever wear a dress. Now that you're here you just have to come to the ball Dryden is giving for my birthday." "But Millerna. The only clothes I've got with me are the ones I'm wearing at the moment and I'm sure those aren't appropriate for a ball.", Hitomi said reasonably. "Wonderful. Then you have to come with me to the seamstress. We're going to get you a dress." Millerna didn't wait for Hitomi to answer. Instead she grabbed Hitomi's hand, "Come on."
While walking through the hallways of the huge castle Millerna started to ask Hitomi rather personal questions. "Now. Care to tell me about what else happened last night?" Hitomi blushed. She seemed to do that quite often lately. After considering a few moments she started to tell Millerna about everything.
"You've so got the hots for Van." "I know, when I'm around him it's like I'm aroused 24/7." Millerna grinned like crazy, "And he hasn't tried anything so far?" "No *sigh* . My heart is aching because I'm so desperate. I need him to hold me, to protect me and I need his love." They had to stop talking because they had reached their destination.
Millerna knocked on the half open door and entered the fairly big chamber. At least fifteen women and girls in their twenties were running about the room and sewing or carrying around huge piles of fabric obviously producing servants clothes. One of the elderly looking ladies hurriedly put aside her work and bowed to Millerna. "Your highness, how can I be of service to you?"
Millerna smiled sweetly, "We'd like avail your services. You see, my friend Hitomi and I need dresses for the ball my husband is preparing in honour of my birthday." The women smiled sweetly at them and nodded, "Gladly." She clapped her hands, "Girls you've heard princess Millerna." A few seconds later the room was cleared of the fabrics the women had previously worked on and Hitomi and Millerna were shooed into the room to sit on a couch like bench.
The younger women were showing them books with various dresses while the others brought out fabrics of all kinds and colours. Hitomi was totally impressed. Millerna smiled painfully at her, "That's the only good thing about the dresses. You haven't got the slightest idea about the underthings you have to wear, so you actually look good in those clothes. It's summer and we'll be sweating like hell."
Hitomi got an idea. "Say Rosa." Hitomi asked one of the seamstresses that was next to her, "Could you also sew something if I'd draw it?" "The woman nodded, "Sure, we can make any dress as long as we've got a picture of it." Hitomi smiled, "Great. Millerna would it be okay for you if I designed a dress for you as a birthday present?" "Oh that would be great. I've always wanted to know how the dresses you wear on earth look like.", Millerna said.
Hitomi talked to the women again, "Dou you have to take measurements first? I want the dress to be a surprise." The women nodded. A pedestal was brought and Millerna stepped onto it. While a few seamstresses were doing this, one of the others brought Hitomi a few sheets of paper and a writing feather.
Hitomi sat at one of the tables and started to design the dress for Millerna. She had always known how it should look like. When the women finished their work Millerna left the room, "I'm going to look for Merle. I'll see you at dinner." Hitomi only nodded without even looking at her because she was so wrapped up in drawing.
Around one o'clock Hitomi left the chambers of the seamstress. She had designed the dress for Millerna and herself. The women, after having measured her to death, had assured her that it would be best to let them do the rest of her wardrobe in Gaia-style.
She stood in the middle of the wide hallway looking around and not knowing where to go, "Great I can't remember where Millerna and me came from. I'can't believe that I'm lost in a castle. Grrr." She was desperate, but didn't want to go back to ask for the way. 'I wouldn't know what to ask anyway. Where should I go to now?. Well, I'll stroll around a little I guess.'
It wasn't far away when she heard something. It sounded like someone was screaming. Hitomi's face lightened up, 'Van!" She stopped in front of a half closed door that obviously lead to a big wide hall when she heard him screaming again, "Why?!?.Why did you have to kill her!?!" Hitomi stopped dead in her tracks.
Then she heard another voice talking slowly and without emotion, "But your majesty. There's still the law which says that the first woman the king sleeps with has to be killed."
