Chapter 3 Kashu
I opened my eyes, only to see darkness. I sat up and noticed I was on a soft bed. I could make out two large windows letting in a bright moonlight and stars were shining like diamonds. I got off my bed and walked over to one of the windows. I looked out among the dark grounds and realized that I was at the Otori Estate. I also noticed that I was in Kyoya's room. I walked back over to the bed and sat down in an attempt to hopefully fall asleep again.
A knock came at the door. I gasped when it opened and turned to see Kyoya closing the door.
"Kyoya-senpai… you scared me." I sighed.
He sat next to me and smiled a little. "My dear princess, you do understand why you are here in this world, right?" he asked.
"Yes, I have to save this world and Aya needs to help me. I still don't understand why we were taken for our parents," I said, laying my head on his shoulder.
"You are still tired, my princess. You should go back to sleep." Kyoya began to move, but I held onto his shirt sleeve.
You see, I have a sort of fear of the dark, but now I can trace it back to the very beginning of my life. I had always shared a room with Aya because of my fear of the dark. I didn't like being alone. I guess I also have attachment issues. All thanks given to my kidnappers, know that I know why.
"Please stay with me until I fall asleep, Kyoya," I whispered softly, not looking up at him.
He sighed. "As you wish, my lady."
He laid me back down on the bed and sat by me until I fell asleep. When I first closed my eyes, I felt Kyoya's kiss on my forehead and he ran his fingers through my hair. I slowly feel asleep, being reminded of a warm hand that did the same to me when I was a baby.
The sun flowed into Kyoya's room, making the place glow. I woke up and remembered quickly where I was. I looked frantically for Kyoya and found him on the couch near his bed, where I had slept. I got out of bed and walked over to the couch. I shook him a little and tried to wake him up.
"Kyoya-senpai… it's time to get ready for school. Please wake up," I gently begged, "I know you are not a morning person, but you still need to get up for school."
Kyoya opened his eyes and looked at my in slight annoyance. He smiled and sat up. I stood up straight and looked down at him.
"If only you hadn't been so scared of the dark…" Kyoya yawned as he stood up.
"Blame my kidnappers." I said.
"Well, school awaits." Kyoya left his room without giving me another glance.
I sighed and saw my school clothes on the couch arm. I got dressed, but I felt a fire burn in my blood. I began to get really angry with Kyoya, but I couldn't show it to him or the others. I really wished that I was with my sister and Zelman. I bet they were having more fun than I was having.
