Part 15
"You guys really must be kidding me." Mizuki said, after listening to Jiro's explanation. Everyone shook their head. "I can't be princess of this village. I'm not the princess, even if I was, I'll never take the position. You are lying." Mizkui said, in shock. Everyone shook their head again. Jiro said, "Everyone knows your princess now, you can't deny it. Your mother was the most honorable princess this Village ever had. You'll be a fine princess." Mizuki stood up and shook her head. "I need time to get this nonsense out of my head." She walked out of the room.
Lee shrugged, "We tried." Tenten and Neji nodded. The three stood up and left the room.
Mizuki walked into her room, trying to comprehend everything they said. She closed the door behind her and walked towards the window. She opened the window and sat on the window sill. She took out the necklace her mother gave her before she died and gripped it into her hands. She started at the moon and looked back at the necklace.
"So, mother, this is what you left behind for me. A village. I can't do this. I can't be a princess, I'm not like you, Mother." She sat there for awhile before falling asleep.
An hour later, someone came into Mizuki's room, and carried Mizuki off the window sill and laid her on the bed. He then looked at her for awhile before leaving.
Mizuki woke up the next morning. She did her normal morning routine. It took awhile because she didn't know where everything was. When she finished, she walked outside of her room to see Jiro there. "Good morning, Princess Sayori." Mizuki bowed. "Have you plan on taking your position as Princess?" Mizuki nodded her head and said, "I guess, this is what Mother left behind for me, and I don't want it to fall into the hands of people who doesn't love the villagers."
"Great! Then we have to move you to your new room." Jiro said. "What?! This room is big enough for me." Jiro laughed and shook his head, "No, this room is for guests, you're moving to your princess room." Mizuki looked at him and said, "I don't see a difference, their rooms." Jiro laughed again and said, "You'll see the difference."
Jiro and three servants led Mizuki to her room. When Jiro slid the door open, the three servants showed her inside. The room was ten times bigger than the guest room, and the guest room was already big enough. The room's main colors was gold and dark red, with wooden floors. There was a tea table right in the middle of the room, and almost three doors that led to who knows where. The bed was low, with red and gold blankets, and not to mention, the bed was so huge, ten people could sleep on it and there would still be room for two more. To the left side of the room was a clear door, leading to the balcony.
"Haha, you must be joking, I'm not taking this room." Mizuki said, looking at Jiro. He smiled and said, "Servants, you know what to do." With that he left.
"Princess Sayori, which outfit would you like to wear?" A servant said, leading her to one of the doors, she opened it, and BAM! There was so much colorful kimonos even a nerd can't count them all. "What. Is. This." Mizuki said slowly. "This is your closet." The other servant said. The third servant picked out a kimono and said, "I'm going to help you put this on." Mizuki eyes widen.
When she was done changing to the kimono, she looked in the mirror. The kimono was green, it had almost three layers of white and light green. The bow in the back was huge, and it was bright green. When she walked, the kimono's bottom part would drag behind her. She left her hair down. "Ah, you look more like a princess, Princess Sayori." Mizuki turned to the servants and said, "Get nice clothes for my teammates, and as for my girl teammate, bring her here." They nodded and two of them left, leaving her with the quiet servant.
"Hi, what's your name." Mizuki said. The servant looked like she was barely fourteen. Her eyes were ocean blue. She had dark blue hair, down to her waist, and wore a regular servant's outfit. "I'm Kiyoko." Mizuki smiled.
At that moment, Tenten and one of the servants came into the room. Tenten was too busy looking at the room. The servant led Tenten to the closet. Tenten looked at the kimono Mizuki was wearing and said, "Wow." Mizuki said, "Come on, Tenten." Mizuki walked Tenten to her closet and pointed at all the kimonos and said, "Pick one." Tenten, Kiyoko, and the servant looked at her. "What?" Tenten said.
"Can you leave the room?" Mizuki asked. Kiyoko and the servant bowed, they were half way towards the door until Mizuki said, "Kiyoko, please stay." Kiyoko looked at Mizuki, and the servant looked at Kiyoko. The servant walked outside of the room and closed the door and Kiyoko walked towards the closet.
"Kiyoko, please help Tenten find a kimono." Mizuki said. Kiyoko walked inside of the closet and picked a kimono. Both of them walked into the restroom, while Mizuki sat on her bed, looking at the green kimono she was wearing. The restroom door opened, and Kiyoko led Tenten to the big mirror.
Tenten wore a pink kimono, with white flower pedals at the bottom, her bottom kimono dragged to, and she also wore almost three layers of pink. Her bow was hot pink, something Mizuki would never wear. Mizuki smiled and said, "Do you like it?" Tenten nodded dumbfounded.
"Kiyoko, find a kimono for youself." Mizuki said. Kiyoko stared at her and said, "But, Princess, Sayori, I'm just a servant, I can't wear a princess' clothes." Mizuki shook her head and walked towards her closet. "No, you're not just a servant, you're going to be my personal servant, and I want you to wear a nice kimono." Kiyoko looked at her for awhile and said, "No, this outfit is okay for me." Mizuki shook her head and said, "What color do you like?"
Kiyoko walked towards the closet and picked out the most plainest kimono ever. It was white, with a blue bow. It only had two layers, and the bottom didn't drag as much as Tenten's and Mizuki's.
Mizuki smiled and said, "As long as you're not wearing your servant clothes." Mizuki picked up Kiyoko's clothes and placed it on her bed.
"Princess Sayori, Jiro wants you to eat lunch right now." A servant said on the other side of the door. "Okay." Mizuki said. Kiyoko looked down, feeling like she shouldn't be wearing anything like this, especially the Princess' clothes. "It's okay, Kiyoko." Mizuki said. Kiyoko looked up and gave her a smile.
Tenten and Mizuki followed Kiyoko to the table where they were suppose to eat. When Tenten and Mizuki walked in, Tenten started to blush, looking at Neji. Neji and Lee were sitting at the table, the first to talk was Lee.
"LOOK! They gave us new outfits! It's so comfortable, I bet you, it's expensive." Lee stood up, showing his outfit. It was, of course, green, it was buttoned down, with gold trims. It wasn't that nice, from a girls point of view, but for a guy ... "Nice." Tenten said. Kiyoko tried not to laugh. "Kiyoko, feel free to do anything you wish to do." Mizuki said. Kiyoko looked up at Mizuki and smiled.
"YOU SHOULD SEE NEJI'S OUTFIT!" Lee yelled. Kiyoko giggled. "COME ON, NEJI SHOW OFF YOUR OUTFIT." Neji crossed his arms around his chest and simply said, "No." Lee walked over to Neji and said, "AH, COME ON!" Neji stubbornly said, "No."
Lee looked at Mizuki and Tenten more closely and said, "Whoa. You two got new clothes too?" Tenten said, "Duh, you're not the only one." Neji looked at Tenten, and who looked at Neji. They both blushed and looked away. "Okay, okay. Let's eat." Neji looked at Mizuki, and said, "You agreed?" Mizuki nodded. Neji looked at her for awhile before looking the other way. For a second, she saw Neji blush again.
Tenten and Mizuki sat next to each other, and across from them were Lee and Neji. "Kiyoko, when do you eat breakfast?" Mizuki asked. "Um, I don't eat breakfast." Mizuki looked at her and said, "Why." Kiyoko hesitated and then said, "Servants are allowed to eat two meals a day." Mizuki nodded and said, "How much do you eat during one meal?" Kiyoko replied, "One bowl of rice, and something to eat it with." Mizuki looked down and said, "That's it?" Kiyoko nodded and said, "Most of the food goes to Prince Satoru and Mr. Makoto."
The butlers and chiefs came in with food, they placed the food on the table. Mizuki stopped one of them, he bowed and she whispered something in his ear. He looked at Kiyoko and nodded.
Six dishes was already on the table. The butler that Mizuki stopped placed a set of plates and spoon on the table next to Mizuki. "Kiyoko, sit down." Kiyoko looked at her and said, "B-but, I can't sit down next to you when you're eating." Mizuki looked at her with evil eyes and said, "Sit down and eat or else." Kiyoko looked at her in shock and followed the orders. Mizuki smiled and said, "Dig in."
Butlers came but before they putted the rest of the food on the table, Mizuki said, "Can you save those for the servant's, butler's, and chief's lunch?" The butlers who was carrying food looked at each other and said, "But, the food is for you, Princess Sayori." Mizuki said, "Please listen to me." The butlers nodded and carried the dishes back into the kitchen.
Everyone digged in except for Kiyoko. She looked a bit shy and uncomfortable. "Um, Princess Sayori I-" Mizuki looked at her and said, "I'm taking care of you, now." Kiyoko looked at her and said, "Thank you." She picked up her chopsticks and ate.
When they were done eating, Jiro came in and said, "Time to meet Prince Satoru and Mr. Makoto." Everyone stood up and followed Jiro. Mizuki followed Jiro, Kiyoko followed Mizuki, and Tenten, Neji, and Lee followed behind.
