Mizuki's POV

At least that solves the mystery about my misplaced glasses, and missing coffee from my cup. I set my cup down on the dresser, and got to fix my clothes into the drawers. Once I was done, I sighed and sat on my bed. I heard my door open, and I looked up to see that it was The Prince. It was clear that he still wasn't happy for my foul language. I smiled meekly at him.

"The Ballet Studio is ready, if you wish to have a look." He said. I nodded and got up. I followed him up a stairway, where there was just one long hall way that led to some big doors on the end. He pushed open the doors, and I gasped. This studio was so much better than the old one!

The old one was little, with the floors cracked and scratched so much, you couldn't even do a single spin on one foot. The mirrors were broken, and the walls blackened. But here, it was just wow! The wooden floor was so shiny and polished; you could do up to ten spins on just one foot! The mirrors were nice and clean, with the metal handles that were shiny as gold, and not rusty.

The next moment, I just found myself gliding through the glassy floor, music playing in my head. I was doing a Pique Turn, when I realized that I had gotten swooped up by this magical room, and The Prince was watching me. I stopped instantly, and spun around to face The Prince, who was perhaps 30 feet away from me.

"I-Uh…forgive me. I have never worked in such an amazing…Ballet Studio!" I said, scratching my ear nervously. How embarrassing of me…

"…You are…an amazing…dancer." I heard him say. It seemed to me, like he didn't have words to say, so he just glued some in his head that were floating around, and blurted them out.

I nodded, and bowed. "I promise to do my best to teach Little Princess Rin, and take care of her well." I smiled, and put my blonde strand of hair back into place, since it had gotten out of place with my spins.

He nodded. "Come, it's time for lunch. I'll show you to the dining room."

I followed him out, and followed behind him. I didn't want to be so close to him, since I can feel my headache coming. He looked behind him to me, and then looked forward again.

"Where did you learn to dance?" He asked me.

"Before my mother died, she used to love ballet, and taught it to me." I replied. He simply nodded.

I cleared my throat, and asked him a question that was floating around my head. "Your…Highness, Is it true that I will have to wear a uniform?"

"You do not. You are simply here to teach Rin ballet, and take care of her. Not my servant." He replied.

I smiled, laughing to myself. Sara would have been begging and crying on the floor to make her his servant. We finally entered the dining room, and I stopped in my tracks. The Emperor and Empress were sitting at the head, Inuyasha on the right side, and Sesshomaru who sat on the left side. I gulped. I was not used to fine dining, but simply a frozen meal that was heated in the microwave, and ate in the living room.

"Come, sit Mizuki. You must be famished." The Empress said sweetly to me.

I forced my shaky legs to move, and sat beside Sesshomaru. Inuyasha scoffed, and I looked at him questionably.

"What? Like my brother already?" He said.

My cheeks heated up. "No, plus don't you have a girlfriend already, Kagome?" I replied.

"She's not my girlfriend, so don't jump to conclusions!" He replied.

"I'll stop jumping to conclusions when you stop!" I said.

"Alright, let's have a nice lunch, shall we?" The King said. He clapped his hands, and servants came out rushing with hands and heads full of plates. My mouth watered when the smells hit my nose. Now that I remember, I had nothing to eat but coffee.

When they set a plate of a sandwich with a salad and ball of rice, I didn't know if I could just dig in! I looked around. The Emperor and Empress were eating, Sesshomaru was as well, and Inuyasha was just chugging everything down. I shrugged lightly, and picked up my fork, I stabbed a leaf lettuce, and put it in my mouth. My eyes shot wide open. It tasted awfully! I scrunched my eyes closed, and forced the lettuce down my throat. I had forgotten I didn't like salads, but I just had to eat it so I wouldn't seem rude! I put my fork down again.

"Why isn't Rin here?" I asked Sesshomaru quietly.

He swallowed his piece of steak. Lucky, why did I get a salad! Next time I demand a rare steak, and they'll give it to me whether they like it or not!

"She is still taking her nap to lower her sugar rush." He replied.

I nodded and picked up my sandwich and took a bite. At least this had meat in it.

"Sons, are you ready to attend this year's Annual Spring Ball?" The King asked them. He looked towards Sesshomaru. "Sesshomaru, Lord Naraku who is having the Ball, has a beautiful daughter!" He told him. I stopped my munching.

"She is a raven beauty." Sesshomaru replied.

I felt my chest tighten with a feeling, but what feeling? No…I will not have jealousy, he deserves someone like her, not me!

"That she is! Why don't you consider her as your mate? Court her, get to know her!" The Emperor said.

"Perhaps, she is the only worthwhile woman around here I know." Sesshomaru replied.

Alright, I had enough! I was about to stand up, when the Empress decided to start a conversation with me. "How about you, Mizuki? Are you currently courting, well, dating anyone?" She asked me.

"Um no, I mean, I don't plan to." I replied.

"Oh, why not?" She asked, eating her salad.

"Well…I haven't quite found the man of my life. I'm waiting for that man." I said.

"That's nice, took me a while too to find this man of my life!" She said intertwining hands with the smiling Empress.

There, I'll admit to myself at least. I felt lonely without that someone, I felt jealousy towards this new woman, and I most certainly wanted Sesshomaru all to myself! Sara was right! By the end of this week, I'll be crying on her knees. GAH! Why must my life be so difficult! I have to get away from him, and now before I breakdown. I got up quickly, and powerwalked away. I didn't want to face them, especially Sesshomaru. I ran up the stairway, and locked myself in my room.

I propped my head on the door, as tears one by one, fell silently to the carpeted floor. Why did I agree to this? Secretly I had loved the Prince from away, that won't do any harm. Now loving him from one foot away from me was causing harm. I sniffed, and walked over to my bed, and threw myself on it. I felt my eyes become heavier, until finally they just shut themselves, taking me into darkness.

I woke up, with a hand lightly shaking my shoulder. I opened my eyes, and saw the last rays of sunshine dancing in the sky through the window. I turned around, and faced a servant. She was almost about Sara age, but still a bit young.

"Ma'am, the Clothes Designer is here." She said.

I nodded. "Alright, I'll be down in a few."

She nodded and left. I sat up and stretched. I wasn't feeling any better than before. Not to mention that my headache was returning. I sat up, and followed the servant who had waited for me outside. She escorted me into the Ballet Studio, where I saw a rather tall man with jet black hair, and had the body of a tooth pick. He was measuring Rin's waist, as Rin giggled.

"That tickles!" She said.

"No, this tickles even more!" The man replied, and tickled her tummy. Rin went into hysterical laughter. It made me smile a bit. He turned around and spotted me.

"Ah, Miss Mizuki, come over here and let me dress you!" The man said.

The way he said it, made me burst into laughter. He was obviously one of those fun gay guys! Those that can be yours friends forever. I walked over to them.

"No thank you. I already have my own." I replied.

Rin held up an orange leotard, with an orange tutu. "Isn't this just pretty!" She asked me.

"Oh yes, very! You might want to get more though. You never know when we might perform in front of Prince Sesshomaru!" I said smiling at her.

She beamed even more. "I want that and those. NO! The pink one and white one…" Rin went ordering the man around for different leotards with tutus and slippers. This lasted until Rin ended up with more than twenty leotards and tutus, and happily took them to her room. The man looked at me then.

"I'm Hoshi by the way." He said.

"Mizuki." I replied.

He looked at me up and down and quickly turned around. He dug through a case after case until he had about ten small bags hanging from his arm. He turned around, took one bag and set the other nine on the table. He unzipped the bag, and took out the most beautiful leotard I had ever seen! It was a dark blue, which had silvery strings running all around the body. The back was transparent, which showed the back.

"Like it?" He said, looking at my expression.

"I do, really I do! I just can't afford it. I am just here to give lessons and take care of Rin." I said.

"Doesn't matter, get any you like." A voice said behind me.

I turned around and looked at Sesshomaru. "I can't. I'm not going to take advantage of your money, Prince." I said.

He took out a slip of paper, which looked like a check, and handed it to Hoshi.

"Take this as your payment, and get the best leotards for Mizuki." With that said, he turned around and left.

"Here you go!" Hoshi said, shoving almost around 15-20 bags in my hands. "And in these boxes, are the leggings and slippers. Each box on the number matches with each bag, so you know which outfits match!" Hoshi said.

I looked at him, as the servants came and took my clothes. "Why did you give me so much?" I asked him.

He closed a case, and looked at me. "What? You want the Prince to have my head! Don't think so! The best he wanted, the best you got!" He said, and walked past me to leave. I sighed and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Also, the Prince fancies you! He will never buy anything amazing for an ordinary human!" He said, and disappeared.

I felt my cheeks get hot, and after a while of just standing there, I walked out of the studio. I flipped the lights off, and retired to my room for the rest of the evening.
