~Mizuki~
Why did I agree to stay? I should have said no! I will just be embarrassing myself in front of the Prince and his family! Worse, I'll be splattered all over the newspapers and magazines! What will Sara say about this? Will she be mad that I will be leaving her? But on the good side, she will believe me this time! HA, in your face Sara! I will be living with the Prince, and you won't...I will be living with the Prince…I WILL BE LIVING WITH THE PRINCE! I squealed so loud, that I covered my mouth with my hand, hoping no one heard me. This night, Sesshoumaru had shown me to my room, to get more rest, but I couldn't sleep. I was just thinking on how lucky I was to be here! I rolled over to my side. I sighed, and then there was Rin. She was such a sweet little girl. Just by looking at her, it warms my heart to the core. I will show her everything about ballet, since she seems so determined to learn. I sighed even sadder, and nervous. What if Sesshoumaru found out I was a demon? I would have to be much more careful on what I do. That means leaving the Palace on the night of a New Moon-and keeping Sara away from here. She was the only one who knew about me, the REAL me. She might even blurt it out in front of the Prince! I sighed again, as this pang of a headache came back. My demon was trying to escape, as it growled unsatisfied, trapped in me for such a long time. It was going to be even harder to keep it locked away when I would around Sesshoumaru. I closed my eyes, tightly as I could, pushing my demon back to its cage. I sighed, and before I knew it, I was floating in a nice dreamy cloud.
~Sesshomaru~
I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I had given Mizuki's room on the other side of my room, so she can be close to my Rin for anything. I closed my eyes, and focused. I could hear Mizuki being restless, turning from one side to another, until finally her breathes evened out a slow pace, along with her heart, keeping a nice rhythm. I opened my eyes quickly, what was this feeling in my chest? I knew exactly what it was, as I forcefully pushed it down again. I couldn't be feeling this, she was Rin's Nanny. As well as she was just a human, a human who could not give me strong son's. She was something, though, for a human. Something was very mystical about her. Why did Rin like her so quickly? All my years with Rin, she never did like a human. Rin was much more comfortable around demons. Mizuki couldn't be a demon, she smelled as filthy as any other human…no, she smelled better in fact. A scent I cannot put my finger on it. I heard my door squeak open, and I knew who it was. I had heard her get up from her bed. I turned my head to the side and looked at my Rin, who was holding her stuffed bunny.
"Rin scared. Can Rin sleep with Sesshomaru tonight?" She asked. I scooted over to the other side.
"Come." I said. She ran and hopped into my bed. She snuggled into the curve of my neck. I smiled when I heard her sigh relived. I decided to get some rest as well. I close my eyes, and drifted off into sleep.
"Wake up Lord Sesshomaru!" I heard Rin say, pushing her little hands into my chest. Was it morning already?
"Lord Sesshomaru will be late!" My eyes shot wide open, and I sat up quickly, to quickly that Rin went flying to the side and of the bed, squealing all the way. I wouldn't know what to do I didn't have these fast reflexes, I thought as I caught Rin just in time, and sat her on the bed. She was giggling like mad.
"That was fun! Rin do that again!" She said giggling.
I smiled…my Rin. I looked over to my clock, that read 4:30; I wasn't supposed to get up until 5;30.
"Rin, I do not wake until 5:30." I said.
"I know, Mizuki wanted to talk with you!" She said, and hopped of the bed-and skipped out the room and headed right, into Mizuki's room. I stood and stretched, and followed behind Rin.
~Mizuki~
I was sitting on the bed, looking out the window, when two little hands wrapped around my eyes, barley covering them. "Who am I?" The voice said. I smiled.
"Mmhm is it Jaken?"
"No!"
"Is it that Prince?"
"Noooo!"
"OH, it's Little Princess Rin!"
Rin laughed and sat beside me. "You need to know Rin more!" She said.
I laughed. "Did you tell him?" I asked her.
"No, I told him to come here!" She said.
"Tell me what?" I heard the Prince say behind me. I felt my heart almost thump out of my chest. I turned and looked at him. Honestly, if my heart could thump out of my chest, it would be on the floor right now! He was only in his pajamas silk pants, and no shirt. His chest was fine built. My cheeks were burning HOT. I closed my eyes and cleared my throat.
"I wanted to ask if you have a studio of some sort here, to do the lessons." I asked the best I could, without stuttering.
It looked as if he was thinking for a moment. "I do…but it's filled with musical instruments. I will have someone emptied it today." He said.
"Also, Rin was telling me that she did not have Ballet clothes." I said.
"I have someone call the Clothes Designer to come today." He said.
I smiled. "Also, do you mind if I went home to pick up some of my important things?" I asked.
He looked at me. I sighed. "I'm fine, really, I am. I just get sick or clumsy at times." I said.
He still looked at me. "You may go, but someone will be accompanying you." He said.
I nodded. It was so hard not to let my eyes trail down his body, so hard. I looked the other way instead, and heard him walk out. Somehow, I knew he was smirking. I heard Rin giggle beside me. I looked at her.
"Rin knows!" She said.
I raised my eyebrow. "Know what?" I asked her.
"Rin knows you like Lord-"I quickly covered her mouth with my hand.
"Rin, I don't like him!" I whispered to her.
She peeled my hand of her mouth. "Then why didn't you let Rin say it!" She said.
"Because…because that's rude! It is like telling a lie." I said.
She looked at me for a moment, and nodded her head. She smiled big, and took a hold on my hand. "Come! Help Rin choose out clothes!" I smiled as she dragged me out of the room.
Rin was sure a tough little girl. She didn't like pink, purple, or red. She mostly likes to wear orange, from what I could see. She chose an orange dress with a small puppy on it and some white dressy shoes. When she was finished, I told her that I would be leaving. I already smelled her salty tears were coming, so I quickly reassured her that I would back just in time. She seemed quite satisfied after that, and went to eat breakfast with a servant who escorted her.
On the way to my apartment, I felt like a Queen! I was riding in a long black limousine filled with many ice cold drinks, and a TV. I smiled and felt happy, but this grumbling and mumbling toad was ruining it! He was always saying how he hated his life, why did he get this job, why was I so ugly.
"Look, if you don't want be here, I'll be more than happy to throw you out the window right now!" I said.
"As if, you're just a foolish human!" He said.
I wanted to rip off his head so badly. Not just because of this, but because I saw once on the news how awfully he had screamed at Rin, and The Prince gave him a good punch. I was about to lift up my hand, and bop his head off when the limousine came to a stop. I instantly opened the door and ran out, heading for my apartment.
Once in front of the door, I took out my key and inserted it into the lock. I turned and opened the door, only to be pulled in quickly.
"OMG, why didn't you call me that you were with The Prince?" Sara yelled at me.
"How did you find out, Sarah?" I asked her.
She shoved a wrinkled magazine in my face. I pushed back the magazine back a little, so I can read the headlines. "Mysterious Woman Being Carried By The Prince!" I looked at the picture, and sure enough I was already plastered on the paper with me. I felt my cheeks burn up at looking Sesshomaru carry me.
"And?" I asked.
"AND, you have to take me to meet him, Girl! Then we would get married, have little children, and you could be the Nanny!" She said, dreaming off into her world.
"No I won't, I am the Nanny already." I said.
"What do you mean?" Sara asked.
"The day at the park, I was with The Prince and his little girl, yes, Princess Rin. When I was walking, I slipped and hit my head on the concrete. I found myself in the Palace, with The Prince offering me the job to be Rin's Nanny, and Ballet teacher." I said, walking towards my room.
"You are leaving me!" She said, and jumped in front of me, stopping me. She pointed her index finger at me. "You may NOT, I repeat, NOT touch him! He is MINE!" She said. I swatted her hand away, and pushed aside, walking into my room.
"Don't worry. He doesn't even like me." I said, taking out a suite case.
"NOT like you! You are a demon just like him!" She said.
"Not really! I'm not even close to his status! That's why I haven't told him yet…"
"YOU HAVEN'T TOLD HIM YET!" Sara screeched.
"SHHHHH! The whole world can hear you!" I whispered to her harshly. "No I haven't. I'm afraid they won't let stay at a palace because I am a filthy blooded demon! I love Rin so dearly that I can't stand to leave her!"
"OR, you love him dearly." She said, smirking at me.
"No I don't. I like him, but not love him." I said, shoving a Ballet suit into the case.
"Sure. I'll give you a week before you come crying to me that you love him, but he doesn't love you back!"
I shoved a pair of jeans into the case angrily. "And I'll give you ten seconds to get out before you become my breakfast!" I said.
She backed away a little, and laughed nervously. "You're bluffing!" She said.
I opened my mouth, showing her my fangs. She let put a small shriek, and ran out. I smiled and returned my attention to packing my things. After I was done, I walked out into the living room, where Sara was buttering her toasted bread.
"Want some breakfast, Girl?" She offered.
"No thanks. I got to be leaving soon." I said.
She shrugged. "When can we go out again?" She said, taking a bite from her toast.
"I'm not sure." I said.
"Are you taking your sword with you?" She asked.
"Oh no, those stay here. And that doesn't mean you can use it to kill a spider AGAIN! That sword is and ancient, powerful, and beautiful sword!" I said.
She laughed. "But what if it's a cricket this time!" She said.
"No, not even if someone comes and robs you!" I said. She sighed.
I picked up my case and headed out. Just when I was closing the door, I heard Sara mumble, "Ugh, all of this bread is going to my hips!"
"STBU!" I yelled and shut the door the quickly.
"Shut up!" I heard her say.
I laughed and walked back to the limousine.
