"Mmm, uhh." Itsuka groaned as she rolled over on the bed. She sat up and rubbed her eyes yawning. She looked around. The room was now dark blue because the sun had set earlier. She droopily got up from the bed and made her way into the bathroom next door. She closed the door and turned on the water and undresses getting in. She leaned on the wall and let the cold-water splash on her face, She sighed and started to wash herself.
She started to hum loudly and didn't notice when the door opened slightly. Watching the shower curtain was a pair of blood red eyes. A cold wind slammed open the door and Itsuka jumped and tore open the curtains, only to come face to face with a servant. She screamed and closed the shower curtain blushing. "What the fuck are you doing here? Can't you see I'm in the shower?" She yelled at the servant and as walked toward the shower.
"Hey Itsuka, don't see shy, it's only me, your friend Hitachi!" He laughed and sat down with his back facing the shower. "So what? You just saw me naked!" "And what a lovely sight it was." He joked. She growled and clenched her fist. "GET OUT!" She screamed as he ran out laughing. She grabbed some clean clothes and quickly put them on walking outside only to see that Hitachi wasn't there.
She sighed. "Hitachi, come on out stop playing." There was not a sound. She raised a brow and walked over to the bed looking underneath it. "Hitachi, I do not have time to play tour silly little game. I have work to do. " Once again there was not a peep. Growing frustrated she walked to the closet throwing everything out still looking for him. There was no sign of him. She sighed realizing he must have left. She began to put everything back in the closet when a strong howling wind blew.
Shivering she looked around but the window wasn't open. Rolling her eyes she closed the closet and walked over to the bed. She stopped in her tracks when she felt something squishing under her feet. She looked down and grew horrified, as it was blood. She looked up and saw blood trailing down from the walls. She covered her mouth and jumped on the bed covering her.
She closed her eyes and opened them again to see a tall ghostly figure coming toward the bed. She moved back to the edge of the bed when the figure tore off the covers. Itsuka screamed, as it was Hitachi. His head had been chopped of and blood was everywhere. He moved in to grab her when she jerked up from the bed panting. Looking around, it was still day and she sighed.
She stood up and looked around. Walking into the bathroom, she turned on the faucet and splashed some water on her face. She sighed and closed her eyes. "What a horrible dream." She said running her fingers through her hair. Suddenly a cold and wet hand touched her shoulder. She screamed and turned around only to become face to face with Hitachi who was on the floor laughing. She gasped and caught her breath. "That. That was not funny. You really scared me Hitachi…" She walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed.
"I did, oh I'm sorry Itsuka." He said still a little giggly. She sighed and shook her head. I don't think I'll sleep for a couple of days after that." Hitachi hugged her and sighed. "I'm really sorry." "It's not you Hitachi, it was a dream I had…" She trailed off as the door opened and someone stepped inside. Hitachi and Itsuka gasped.
Ahem. "Masatoshi, Masahiko, we have gathered here today to discuss a very important matter." Shiite said still keeping his view on the table. "Yes, Shiite. It is about this girl, is it not?" The spiky haired boy asked. Masahiko banged his fist on the table. "Excuse me Enoki, but was anyone addressing you. I believe Shiite was addressing me! You need to speak when you are spoken to!" His voice thundered as it felt like the room was shaking. Everyone looked down and said nothing.
"Anyway, yes Shiite. It is about that girl, yes?" "Yes, Masahiko." "What's the problem with her? Isn't she just a maid?" Asked the red haired boy. "Yes Yujiro, but recently she has discovered her inner power and we must stop her from finding out her past." "Why must we?" Asked the spiky haired boy? "Must you always ask stupid questions boy?" Roared Masahiko. "Well Masahiko, if you had informed us about this earlier, then maybe I wouldn't ask such stupid questions." The spiky haired boy answered. "Don't talk back to me you little brat!" He roared again. Everyone sighed. "They're at it again," The red haired boy, answered.
"Yujiro, shut up!" Masahiko yelled. Yujiro rolled his eyes and the girl coughed and cleared her throat. Everyone instantly grew quiet. She looked around at the guys that were surrounding the table and nodded to herself. "Yujiro, Shiite, Masahiko, Enoki, and Takashimi, We are here to discuss the odd events that have been happening to us, am I correct?" Everyone nodded, except Masahiko. He grumbled and rolled his eyes.
"Masahiko, do you have a problem?" The girl asked. He glared at her for a minute. "No Masatoshi." "May we get down to business so we can figure out what to do before she learns her true powers and her spirit is reawakened?" Everyone sat and stared looking dumbfounded. "What powers exactly?" Enoki asked.
"She has to the power to read faces. Using this power she would know everything that happened to that person including their darkest secrets and plans." Shiite answered. Masahiko gasped lightly so hat no one could hear him. He thinks that he runs the group and that everyone should listen to him but the real brains are Masatoshi. His sister. He despises her and would do anything to take her spot and I mean anything.
Everyone agreed that this was a great and powerful power that shouldn't be awakened. "So now that we know the problem, our task is to think of a plan to stop this from happening." Masahiko said. "Since, she can only read faces when she is not occupied with something, I think that she should always be occupied with her work and studies." Enoki said lacing his fingers together then resting tem on the table.
"Good idea," Shiite said. "And with her having to attend to Takashimi's aid and having to clean the mansion, she would have no time for anything." He added. Masatoshi smiled and nodded. So here is what we are going to do." While the others discussed this matter, Yujiro had his arms crossed across his chest. He hated doing this type of things and hurting innocent people. But the thing that he was focused on was the girl.
"Yujiro." Enoki called out to him. "He looked up at him and nodded. "Since Takashimi's work and cleaning the mansion isn't enough for the girl, you will be assigned to look after her and make sure that she doesn't think or do anything else." Yujiro nodded and closed his eyes leaning back in the chair.
"Hello guys!" Yelled a girl as she walked into Itsuka's bedroom. She had long purple hair that flowed down to her butt. It swayed from side to side whenever she moved. She had purple eyes that one can get lost in. It had a glint of evil toward Itsuka in them and small a smirk curled upon her lip. She wore a black dress that was strapless and had purple lings all over the ends.
Hitachi stared at her as Itsuka glared at her. The girl picked up a crystal ball and stared into it. She dropped it back onto the dresser as she neared the bed. "What the hell do you want?" Hitachi asked the girl as she plopped down on the bed. Itsuka's eyes widen and she pushed her off of the bed. "Kosugi, I am sick and tired of your skinny little ass. Get out of my room." She stated as Kosugi pretend to whimper.
"But Itsuka, we are best buddies we look out for each other." Hitachi scoffed. "Name one time." Kosugi was about to say something when she placed her hand on her chin looking at the ceiling. "There was this one time…no I sold you out. I know there was that time when…no I sold you out too." She grinned and looked at Itsuka. Itsuka glowered at her then smiled. Itsuka took Kosugi's hand.
"Kosugi, It's about time that you realize," She got up and pulled Kosugi to the door. "That we were never friends and we never will be! How can you say you're my friend when every time I do something, you're the first to tell the lord!" Screamed Itsuka as she jerked open the door and flung Kosugi out. "But—" Kosugi began to say when Itsuka slammed the door in her face.
Hitachi clapped and laughed. "It's about time Itsuka. All those years of her pushing you around and you finally stood up to her. Brava." Itsuka looked down and walked back to the bed. "I did, didn't I?" Man, something is seriously wrong with me. I never stood up for myself before… I guess I got confidence at the last moment…I don't think it will happen again though… She thought as she sat down as Hitachi grinned and hugged her. She hugged back and faked a smile with Hitachi fell for. Hitachi let go as someone started pounding on the door. Hitachi said bye to Itsuka as he ran to the closet, which had a trap door leading to his room.
Itsuka quickly got up off the bed and opened the door. It was Shiite. She bowed and he closed the door behind him. "Itsuka," He said as she looked up at him. "We have another guest coming and you need to watch him as well." Itsuka had a blank expression on her face. " How am I supposed to watch the prince clean the mansion and watch another guest while trying to sleep? What I am the main maid or servant or pet! I need my time too you know!" She screamed at him. Only then realizing what she did.
How the heck did that pop out of my mouth? I was only thinking it? Oh god! I'm going to die! She told herself as she covered her mouth and moved backwards. Shiite just stared at her, his eyes growing fearful and angry. "Did you just talk back to me, you little wench? Are you defying me?" He said moving toward her slowly. She shook her head and back up in a corner. He stopped in front of her and grabbed her by the hair lifting her up off the ground a bit. She had to stand on her tiptoes just to make the pain stop. She bit her bottom lip hard as to stop herself from screaming.
He glared straight into her eyes and she looked away from his face trying to stop the tears that we now flooding out of her eyes. He brought his hand back and then with full force slamming it across her cheek. She flew back into the wall and slumped down holding her cheek.
The closet door squeaked open, as Hitachi poked his head out slightly to see Itsuka on the ground crying and Shiite looking down at her. He gasped slightly and still looked at what Shiite did to her next. He picked her up by the hair once more and glared at her. "Do you have anything more to say?" Itsuka's bangs covered her eyes and she looked like she was looking down as a shadow past her face.
A bit of blood trailed down from her head and was now dripping onto the white tiles as the slap that he inflicted upon her had turned red and bumped up. Shiite brought his knee into her rib cage and you heard something crack. Itsuka cried out in pain and held her stomach only to feel the pain as he grabbed more firmly to her hair. "Do you have anything more to say?"
She coughed up a bit of blood and in-between chokes and sobs she shook her head and said no. Shiite left go of her hair as she fell down on the ground coughing up blood still. "Remember this pain. For if you do or say something out of line again it will be much worst. He walked toward the door and opened it. He closed it softly and walked down the hall to Kosugi's room.
Hitachi kicked opened the closet door and ran to aid Itsuka. She was laid out on the ground blood still dripping from her head and her cheek still puffed up. Her eyes were open but she was unconscious. Running into the bathroom, he took out the first aid kit from under the sink along with a few towels and went back outside to the bed where he took a pillow and sat down next to Itsuka.
He lifted up her head slightly and put the pillow down putting her head down softly on the pillow. He took out some alcohol and bandages as he began to pour a bit of alcohol on the towel and dap it on the cut on her head, which was rather large. It seemed as though he ripped a huge clump of hair from her head. She winced and rolled over a bit.
He stopped and bandaged her head and using the rest of the towels to wipe the blood off of the floor. He looked down at her and stroked her head softly. "I'm sorry…" He said and leaned down to kiss her gently on the cheek. Itsuka blinked and he blushed looking at her. She smiled slightly and closed her eyes falling asleep. Making sure that nothing happened to her, he sat next to her and looked at her until he eventually fell asleep as well.
Opening the door, Shiite stepped in and Kosugi looked at him. She rolled her eyes and went back to staring out the window. "Shiite, you promised me that I would be your queen once I got rid of the little bitch." "That I did, but you haven't not completed your task now have you?" She sighed and shook her head. "I guess your right." She held her arms as Shiite came up behind her and kissed her neck softly. She smiled and held his arms. He kissed softly at first then licked all over her soft skin.
She closed her eyes and melted in his arms. He smiled and pulled back a bit. She looked at him and he caught her in a breath taking deeply intense French kiss. His tongue danced around in her mouth as her tongue wrestled with his.
After about 5 minutes they pulled back to catch their breaths and cuddled close to each other. "I love you Kosugi." Shiite said softly. "I love you too." Kosugi replied and they both stood there in each others arms looking out the window. Something caught Kosugi's eye and she looked carefully out the window. "Hey baby, isn't that Yujiro coming this way?" Shiite looked up and smirked. "Right on time. Sorry hon., I got some business to attend to." He kissed her softly on the lips and left the room quickly.
Kosugi sighed and pressed her hand against the window staring at Yujiro. If I weren't with Shiite He would have been mine. He is so gorgeous. She sighed and took one last look at him and went to her bed. Sitting on the edge she laid back and closed her eyes drifting off to sleep. DING DONG, went to doorbell again, as Shiite made his way to his room. He sat down and took out a book and began writing in it.
"Hello and welcome to Lord Shiite's Castle. I am Hana, how can I help you?" Hana asked smiling brightly at Yujiro. He stared at her. "May I speak with Shiite please?" "Certainly." She replied. She stepped back and she smiled looking around. She bowed and directed him through the lobby to the right up the stairs. She stopped in front of Itsuka's bedroom and smiled.
"Please wait a minute, while I do something." She opened the door and closed it behind her. She turned around to see Itsuka and Hitachi on the ground sleeping. Her eyes widen as she saw Itsuka. She almost screamed but covered her mouth and made her way over to the two sleeping. "Oh my god. What happened?" She whispered softly. Hitachi picked his head up from the wall and looked a Hana sleepily. "Hello Hana…" He yawned and looked down at Itsuka.
Yujiro lent on the door and listened carefully to what they were saying. Even if he didn't get all the words he would still get an idea of what was going on. "What happened to her?" Hana asked touching the bruises on Itsuka's face. "Err, um, Shiite…" He said then trailed off. Yujiro shook his head and sighed. "I knew something like this would happen." He muttered under his breath.
She gasped lightly and looked at him. "What could she have done to make him hit her like this?" Hitachi sighed and moved some hair from Itsuka's face. "She talked back to him…" She shook her head. "It was an accident though. She looked like she was in some type of trance.
"Oh." Hana replied and sat down. "Wait a minute, why didn't he do anything to you?" "I was hiding in the closet.." He confessed and looked down. "I see. So, why did she talk back to him?" She asked stretching a bit. "He wanted her to look after another guest that is suppose to be coming." She nodded and gasped lightly. She quickly got up and waved to Hitachi. "Sorry, but I have someone to attend to. Please make sure that she gets better."
Hitachi smiled and looked down at Itsuka. Hana opened the door and stepped out closing it. Yujiro looked at her and she bowed. "Now we can continue to Lord Shiite's room." He nodded and followed her as she began to walk down the hall. " May I ask, what is your name sir?" Hana asked as they past Kosugi's room. "My name is Yujiro." He stated quietly and followed her thinking back to what he heard in the room. I wouldn't expect anything less from a creep like him he thought.
