Disclaimer: I don't own YYH or Cinderella. Sorry it took so long to update…I made changes for people so they would enjoy it better. Tell me what you think…I listen I promise.
Corn muffins- Thank you for advice…but my writing is always going to be obvious, sorry I don't do the mystery thing well. Also I'm still working on my writing skills, but the next one should be better…I just finished another story, I just need to edit. And I also LOVE Ella Enchanted it's what inspired me to write this story…I've read it like six times…it never gets old. Please review again!
Insane prep- Sorry…I know I should have put more chapters but I didn't because I have some more to go so…yeah. Plus it wasn't suppose to be really long just something fun and short because I was bored. Thank you for reviewing it's good to know for later.
RejectedWitch- Well some great advice here. I know that Hiei would never say brother, but we are looking at it as if he grew up in the castle being all formal and all. Also I wanted to make Hiei a flirt just for the fun of it; sorry if that bugs the hell out of you. I made Kurama forward because it just helped me in the long run…I'm going for perfection here. And I know my characters are flat…they just don't want to jump…but anyway like I said this was for fun and to get me thinking again. I'll try better on my next story I swear…but till then I do need your advice it helps me very much. And to answer your question about the blue moon rose it is a rose it's just a medium blue and it's hard to grow, but the coolest thing ever, so I had to use it.
Part Five—Getting Away
"So she's your sister? I wouldn't have guessed; you both look incredibly different from one another."
"Would you please stop following ME!" screeched a high pitched voice.
"Oh no. Is your brother…umm…blunt?" Sapphire asked.
"I don't think blunt is the word for it. I'd say he has no respect for others."
"I think it would be best if my sister and I left before anything else happens."
"You don't have to go; I'm sure that we can work out what happened and talk…"
"That's really nice of you, but I think leaving is the best idea."
Then all of the sudden Feather head and Lizard find their way around the velvet curtains. They immediately went to the princes' side.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" Kurama asked Feather head politely.
"My name is Heather and that is my lovely sister, Elizabeth. We're from a wealthy family and were wondering when you be done with these simpletons."
"Us simpletons are done and must get going. We hope to meet with you two again." Amia said quickly and took her Sapphire's hand and started to run.
"Wait! Please come back!" the princes shouted and tried to keep up with Amia and Sapphire as the girls ducked and weaved through the crowd and the other girls tugging at the princes asking them if they would dance with them.
The girls were almost to the carriage when Sapphire's shoe slipped off. Sapphire wanting to turn back to get it, but could not and jumped into the carriage and sped off.
As they started to go home the gate almost closed on them. Things started to get serious when they sent out the black knights. They rode after Amia and Sapphire. The girl's carriage took quick turns and short cuts. The night was dark and you couldn't see the stars. Soon it was 2:00 clock and the magic started to turn into its original form.
The carriage turned into the forest and the knights rode past them. Yelling and shouting directions as to which way the carriage went. The girls stayed still for a moment to make sure they did not come back. Sapphire and Amia sat there for a little bit gazing at what the magic did not take back.
Sapphire got to keep her shoe and a dimmed down version of the gown she wore. Amia got to keep the dress, but it was not the exact dress, but it was similar to the one she had been wearing and got to keep her shoes which she later notice that she was missing one as well.
The girls took off the only shoe they had and walked back to the house. They got back before their step family and had enough time to hid the dresses and get into bed before anyone got home.
Let's see the princes…
"What do you mean they got away?" the king and the two princes yelled in unison.
"Your highnesses, one moment they were in front of us and the next they were gone." The leader of the knights explained. He looked around at the royal faces which each show disappointed and frustration.
"What do you want to do?" The King asked his sons.
"We want to find them! What else? They left their shoes behind we could go around town and ask all the maidens in the kingdom to slip their feet into the shoes. I'm sure were bound to find one woman to fit into the shoes." Kurama explained. His father nodded approvingly.
"Put a notice around the kingdom just that." The king said to his adviser. The adviser nodded and scurried off.
Two days later with the girls…
The girls were doing their chores around the house with a bit of a skip and happy smiling faces. Sapphire while feeding the chickens danced spreading the seeds were ever she stepped and the chickens following were the food was, sometimes, almost getting stepped on. She daydreamed about Prince Kurama and how he was kind and intelligent when it came to talking about flowers and family.
Amia gave a slight laugh when she looked down to her sister so happy and as she made the beds she daydreamed about Prince Hiei and how she was happy to argue with him and how he just looked so concerned for her well being.
When Sapphire was cleaning the grand hallway and Amia was cooking; the step family came running in and with out watching Lizard stepped into the bucket of soapy water and went flying across the hall. Feather-head not looking were she was stepping, tripped over Sapphire and landed face first, in an unflattering way, on the nice clean floor. (A/N: And she worked so hard to get it that way too!)
Amia hearing the all the racket came out and being careful went to her sister's side to see if she was okay. Amanda went to her daughters sides to see what kind of shape they were in.
"Look you two better cook a find dinner! The royal family is coming and they will be very hungry." Amanda told Amia and Sapphire who were bug-eyed that they weren't being yelled at for not watching where they were going.
Amia dashed and started to the best dinner she could because she also wanted to impress the royal family. Sapphire went to get the fine china and set the table for six. After the candles were lit the girls ran upstairs to get changed into something that didn't make them look too much like maids and took a quick shower.
By the time they were ready the doorbell rang.
"Amanda, do you want one of us to get it or do you and Heather and Elizabeth want to get it?" Amia poked her head into the changing room where they were getting ready.
"One of you can get it." Amanda said dismissively.
Amia hurried down and opened the door. Sapphire went into the kitchen.
"Hello."
"Hello, Miss is your mother here?" Prince Hiei asked.
"If you mean my mistress, then yes she's here." Amia answered politely. Hiei looked at her with question.
"Oh, please, come in!"
"Of course." Prince Kurama answered as Hiei still trying to figure out something.
"Is you family about to eat." King Yusuke asked.
"Yes. Would you like to eat with the mistress? She loves company."
"No, we are merely to do some business. In fact, I need you to stay here. Do you have any one else in the house?"
"Well there's Heather, Elizabeth and…" Amia was interrupted by her step family.
"Shouldn't you be putting the dinner on the table with your sister?" Amanda scolded her. Amia nodded and ran off to the kitchen.
"Your highnesses, I hope my servant didn't bore you. My daughters and I would like it, ever so much, if you stayed to eat with us."
"Miss, I'm sorry, but we don't have time now if you would, please, bring all the women in your house out I would like to find the two maidens that fit these shoes." King Yusuke tried. Sapphire and Amia had just come out to tell Amanda that the dinner was ready when they heard about the shoes. Amia looked at Sapphire and Sapphire looked at Amia both of them bit their lip. (A/N: Now remember they don't know why the princes are looking for them.)
"What do you two want?" Feather-head asked in a snotty voice.
"Oh, we want to tell you that dinner is ready." Sapphire said in a shy voice. Kurama looked at Sapphire and then at his father and whispered something to him.
"Miss would it make you happy and more willing for you daughters to try on the shoes if we ate with you?" King Yusuke asked.
"Yes, it would." Amanda said with a bright smile. Feather head and Lizard smiled one of their ugly smiles. Kurama and Hiei had sweat drops on the back of there heads.
As the step family and royal family filed in the dining room Hiei kept his eyes on Amia until he couldn't see her anymore.
"I'm glad he didn't recognize me or we could have been in a real trouble." Amia whispered to Sapphire.
"Same. I am just wondering why they're here. I mean we didn't do anything to upset them did we?"
"Umm…I did get into an argument with Prince Hiei…"
"Oh goodness! Why?"
"He thought I was in a cult! I had every right to defend myself! Sometimes it does feel like a cult; being forced to do work and not get a full square a day and all."
"Let's go lie down and rest. It's been a long week so far."
While at the dinner table…
"This is very good food. The best I've ever tasted. I'd like to thank who ever made this." King Yusuke said enthusiastically.
"Oh, yes, we'll be sure to mention that to her." Liz said in unhappy tone.
"Who did make the food?" Hiei questioned.
"That would be Amia. She's the shorter one of the two and she's the oldest." Amanda forced herself to say.
"So, please, tell us, what it's like to be in the royal family." Feather-head asked Kurama.
"Well it can get a little boring. But I think the best part about it is traveling to meet new people and seeing different parts of the kingdom and other kingdoms." Kurama answered.
"Wow; that sounds so nice…" Liz said dreamily. Hiei only rolled his eyes.
When they were finished Amanda went upstairs and got Amia and Sapphire to clean the kitchen.
When Amia was done with her part of the cleaning she went upstairs only to be stop by Hiei.
Okay I know it's not the best…but I did this for fun so if you read it like a simple story I think you'll enjoy it better. Review please! R&R!
