The bleak room was cold and lifeless. If it wasn't the only thing standing between her and her mortality she would have fled long ago. For as far as she could remember she lived here as a doll in it's case staring at an almond colored violin that tortured her to no end.
The door squeaked as it opened. It was him again. Her captor and, regrettably, her master until the curse upon her is broken. Each member of her family was set with an individual curse she was only aware of two.
"How long has it been?" She said acidly her voice cracking from not talking to anyone for so long.
"Four hundred years. Time indeed flies when you have become immortal but I have need of you princess." He said his voice flat and void of any emotion.
She folded her arms stubbornly, "Why should I help you if it's been so long I'm sure my family's name and wealth and "power" no longer have influence."
"Where that is true part of your family may still be alive."
She stopped and stared at him allowing hope reenter her eyes.
"It would seem I wasn't thorough enough with the black cat's curse he may still be alive," she unconsciously stood up the thought threatening to drive her insane she then reasoned he must be torturing her for amusement, "I can offer you your freedom to search for him but in return you must do something for me."
"I don't believe you!" She yelled, "Quit torturing me! I know you wouldn't purposefully keep him alive! Why don't you just kill me already and be done with it!"
"You're far too useful to waste princess," He said coldly, "And you are correct I wouldn't keep him alive purposefully but now it's convenient for me that he is alive. I offer a proposal for you my dear," He pulled out a long silver chain with a moon and star shaped pendant on the end, "This amulet will give you freedom to walk around in the free world out of this prison and keep your youthful beauty and you may even search for that black cat, all I ask for in return is that you give me an amulet in return, a living amulet as a matter of fact. It has long been prophesized that such a being would be born in this century and this creature would obtain more power than your family ever dreamed of possessing. You must find this creature for me and give it to me and his and your freedom will be ensured, however should you defy me your curse will take effect and within the elapse of one hour you will age to dust. So Princess, what is your answer?"
She stared at the amulet in a conflicting silence. Her mind was a mess but if there was a chance she could find him, if there was a chance he was still alive, who was she not to take it? She had already lost everything so she had left nothing to lose only a chance to gain.
"I'll do it." He walked behind her and laced the amulet's thin chain around her neck. He kissed the back of her head which made her shudder, "Don't fail me Princess."
"I won't for his sake" She said gripping the amulet with her fist. He chuckled icily and opened the door for her, "Go for a test run but remember my little song bird I'll be watching you."
She walked past him but stopped at the door a sense of dread overcoming her senses. The images in her mind of him falling to a golden ash writhing on the ground in pain flashed before her. She backed away from the door.
"Do you not trust me Princess?" he whispered in her ear. She regained composure and with her eyes pinched together tightly took a step outside of her door. She stood there for a moment before realizing nothing was happening. She opened her eyes and looked around the corridor and without a second thought she stared running to the door.
"She does not listen very well." He clicked his fingers and she burst through the room door. She stared at him in disbelief and after awhile pure and utter hatred.
"I told you I would be watching," he clicked his fingers again and an older man with brown hair was suddenly in the room bowing to him, "Kazoumi, prepare the princess' things to enter into the new world."
"Yes Lord Gozen." Kazoumi said disappearing again.
"You understand, now, princess that I still have great power over you and I will know if you defy me find me the living amulet and you and your brother will be free from my hold forever but as precautions go you cannot hold your family's name so you will go into the new world using the name of Hoshino." She dry belched at the name it was the same name of his servant. He walked over to her and lifted her chin to stare directly at him, "That malicious gift of yours will be of great use of luring the amulet out so you will be an idol to the people who populate the world now." He let go and walked away from her and she rubbed her chin with her sleeve, "and Princess. I would appreciate it if you took that piece of trash with you." He said pointing at the almond violin. She looked at it then glared back at the door he was gone and in his place was Kazoumi holding a bag and a change of clothes he dropped it the door, "As soon as you're ready to leave tug at the necklace."
He shut to door and she picked up the strange clothing and sighed, "I won't fail I will find Ikuto and break our curse!"

I know it's short but I like where it ended so I guess it's pretty obvious who the girl is but the mysterious Gozen is back with a new Image I kinda OoC'd him. (Spoiler Warning!) For those of you who know who he is, Hikaru is going to appear as a separate person so watch out for him!
Okay wrapping the chappy up with special thanks!
