Summery: Majella was just another girl off the street. She dressed like a street person, she acted like a proper (somewhat). It's hard to believe her parents are rich, though the money really isn't hers. After losing her memory, everything was new to her. A boy with red eyes. He took interest in her special ability. He took her back to the castle and introduced her to Hakuryuu and Kougyoku Ren. What will happen in her life? How will they change it? Will she meet Alibaba and his gang?
Chapter 2: Makeover!
A man appeared, making his way towards the pair. A cloth covered his face, effectively hiding all of his shaded features except his solemn eyes. Judal recognized the man and leapt off the roof, daredevil-like, and landed on the ground gracefully. He started conversing with the masked man. After exchanging a few words, he turned around and stared right at Majella. "Hey, girl! Why don't you come down already!?"
Majella stared doubtfully at the distance between the roof and the ground below. "A-are you crazy!?" she yelled back.
"Oh come on! I did it!"
"Yeah! And I'm not you!"
Majell cupped her hands together, letting the purple colored mist swirl around her fingers in a circle. A peach was formed out of nothing and appeared in the air. She threw the juicy fruit, aiming for the black-haired Judal. Even before the first one had left her hands, she made another one, and another one, sending each soaring into the air, straight for the annoying man.
Only one of Majella's peaches managed to hit Judal square in the face. It didn't hurt but it succeeded in making him mad. Without warning, he used his flying magic and flew up to his carpet. Encircling Majella's slim waist with one arm, he grabbed her and then threw her over his shoulder. "You're really annoying, you know that?"
Majella smiled sweetly at him. "Glad that I can annoy you."
Judal didn't reply and made his way outside with Majella still slung over his shoulder. They made their way past different buildings, structures of different shapes, sizes and even colors.
Soon, Majella became impatient with being carried around and she asked him, "Can you put me down now?"
Without hesitation or thinking twice, Judal answered, "Yeah, sure." He dropped her roughly onto the ground and Majella winced as the hard, firm ground collided with her slender body, hitting her tailbone in the process.
"You could have set me down gentler!" she yelled, rubbing her backside.
Judal shrugged her complaint off. "Your life is in my hands. If I think you're amusing or useful then you're safe… but if I don't then you're as good as dead."
Majella puffed up her cheeks, clearly annoyed. She took a deep, calming breath and released her irritation because she didn't want to die. She sighed. "So where are you taking me?"
Judal glanced at her, his eyes trailing down her figure with an intensity that made Majella suddenly self-conscious. He replied, "I'm taking you to someone who will dress you properly. Kougyoku Ren." Then he grabbed her left hand and pulled her up from the ground. He handled her roughly and with a slight degree of impatience so Majella could tell he was in a hurry for something… but what?
She asked instead, "What's wrong with the way I dress?"
Judal didn't slow down and continued pulling her along. Narrowing his eyes and getting annoyed that she was asking yet another stupid question he answered, "Everything is wrong with it. The old hag will tell you the same thing." Then a small smirk crossed his lips. "Though I don't mind the shortness."
Majella stared at him speechless. Her face grew red and she knew exactly why he didn't mind the length of her dress. Judal continued to speak as if he didn't care what she thought or felt. "…But you'd look better with something longer."
With his hand firmly around Majella's, Judal tugged her into a room. As they entered, she was surprised to see how richly decorated the interior was. Ruby red carpets were strewn on the floor and lush tapestries decorated the walls. It was a room fit for a princess and even a queen.
"Hey Old Hag!" Judal greeted as he entered.
Majella was fully expecting a really old person to approach them but she was surprised yet again. A beautiful young girl with long dark pink hair came forwards from the back. She seemed only a little bit older than Majella but not by much. Majella watched as Judal proceeded to argue with her about calling her an old hag.
Then the dark pink haired woman turned and looked at Majella with a friendly smile on her welcoming face. Majella recognized her as the Kou Empire's Eighth Imperial Princess! She took a small step back, feeling nervous. She didn't want to say something that she would regret.
"I'm Kougyoku Ren," the princess introduced herself, holding up her long sleeve and speaking from behind it. Then she held out her hand, offering it.
Majella shook Kougyoku's hand. "I-I'm Majella," she murmured to the young princess.
Kougyoku smiled. "Today I will be making you my own little doll," she said with a polite manner.
"D-doll? What?"
"Hm… since you're from the slums and Judal doesn't want to be near someone so dirty, I'll be dressing you up," Kougyoku explained. Then she placed a hand on Judal's shoulder. "And as for you, off you go so Majella can get dressed. Come back later."
Judal waved away her concerns. "Yeah, yeah. Girls change in peace." He threw a peach at Majella and smirked, "Better eat up. She'll keep you busy."
As Judal left, Kougyoku turned to her assistant and shooed him away as well. "Koubun, you can step out too." Her personal assistant protested a bit and then finally left the room.
Majella stood in front of a large full-length mirror as the princess bustled around her, getting her clean and fitting her in beautiful clothes.
Majella gazed at her own reflection staring back at her from the mirror as she tightened the strap around her waist. Within half the day, she had been immersed in a large ornate tub and scrubbed clean from head to toe. She had gotten all the dirt out of her hair as well as under her finger nails. Then she had been given some time to relax and enjoy the nice warm bath.
Emerging from the bath tub waters, Majella had been almost sparkly clean, which was a pleasant change from her dreary street life but she couldn't help but miss all the little children that were still living in the slums.
After her bath, Kougyoku brought her beautiful clothes, woven in a multi-array of dazzling colors. Majella was then fitted perfectly for the new, clean clothes and now she donned a half-kimono half-warrior outfit. Unlike her old outfit which had become too small for her, showing her legs, this one fit just right, accentuating her agile form and figure.
Then the princess picked up a pair of large silver scissors inlaid with gold markings. She snipped away Majella's long, unruly bangs so that they no longer covered her face. Now, they framed her pretty face, just above her eyes in a cute and simple fashion.
Can't forget about the makeup! The princess taught Majella how to use it and where to put it. She showed her which colors went well together and what brushes to choose. Kougyoku had to put the eye shadow on Majella though, as her eyes were unique, each a different colored hue.
"Kougyoku…?" Majella trailed off, hesitant to say too much.
A faint smile tugged at the princess's lips. "What is it?" she asked, seeming to understand why Majella was being so reserved.
Majella fidgeted and stared at the ground. "Um… what is Judal like? I mean… he kidnapped me and I…" she paused, again hesitating to ask more. A wave of intense emotions consumed her.
The princess giggled. "Once you get to know him, he isn't too bad. He's a person I can approach for advice and for general conversation… although he refuses to be my friend…" Her voice held a tinge of sadness when she came upon the last sentence. Kougyoku hid herself from behind her sleeves again. She was clearly embarrassed at having exposed this vulnerable side of herself.
Majella's eyes widened as she realized that even though the princess had put up such a willful front, she was actually a very lonely person who wanted friends. "Kougyoku?" Majella smiled. "Can I be your friend?"
The princess looked up from her sleeves; her dark pink eyes held unshed tears. She nodded wordlessly as a happy smile spread across her face. Then she completely changed the subject, saying, "I wonder what they'll think of your new look." She took her new friend's hand. "Let's go find the boys."
The two girls left the room and went out into the open. They strolled down a small path and immediately spotted Kougyoku's assistant waiting for them outside the princess's bedroom.
"Koubun?" the princess exclaimed in shock. Her surprise was only temporary as she recovered quickly and became angry that Koubun hadn't left them alone like she had asked him to. But soon, after yelling at him, her anger dissipated and she asked him, "How does Majella look now?"
Koubun's eyes settled on Majella, now dressed in clean clothes with a new haircut and makeup on her face. He analyzed her outfit and her hairstyle. "It's better than what she was wearing." He nodded. "Suits her."
Kougyoku smiled. "It does. Alright, let's go find Judal." She took Majella's hand again and started to lead her in the direction of the dark magi's room. "He's normally on the roofs, in the trees or in his room," she said.
The three of them followed the princess as they headed off towards Judal's rooms. They passed by numerous doors opening up to different sections and places. After they had passed a large building, they finally arrived at their destination. Kougyoku knocked on the door and stated her presence.
The dark magi opened his door with a smirk. The first thing that caught his attention was the girl standing in the middle. "Who's this?" he asked with slight confusion. "Where's the girl from the slums?"
The princess giggled. "That's her. I gave her a haircut, new clothes, and put some makeup on her."
"That can't be," Judal stated. He leaned down an inch or two, matching Majella's height and stared into her eyes. "But she looks nothing like the girl from the slums."
"She does look different but she's the same girl," Koubun said in a rude manner.
Still baffled, Judal pointed to Majella. "But this girl is kind of cute...?"
Overwhelmed by what had just happened, Majella entered her own little world and ignored everything else that was going on.
