Beautiful Light || Chapter 1 - Only You

The world has gotten cold without the touch of something that interests me. That person only had that ability of love. How I loved how the light would make me glow with the darkness always swallows me up without this light. It seemed the raindrops would fall onto the window sill. It was a utter bore with everything else in becoming something I wish to run away from. If only I could hear your voice again… That sweet voice that met as a child. Why couldn’t those days come back? Why…? Only you. I only want to hear it from you.

Two arms wrapped around the male having a annoyed huff leave the white haired male who turned quickly to find a girl with long black hair, slender arms would touch his chest in pulling him closer. “Honey, you should put that away. Aren’t I all you need?” Whispering softly the female would use her lips onto the right ear of the male. He turned his head a bit in kissing her on the lips. Seeing her dark red cheeks the female was so easily to blush which bore him completely. He wanted someone who was at least interesting not this tramp. “All I need is you.” His words would be full of no emotion. Deep in his mind he only wished to find that one person that brightened his thoughts. 

Who could do that…? Where are you my love? 

The next morning it was early with birds chirping right near the male’s window. He had slept with the woman he was forced into marriage. Yeah, his parents had arranged it for power… What about his feelings? How could he love someone he doesn’t care about? It was nonsense! Removing the maroon blanket off his legs, slowly he have on a light blue robe with a dragon design on it. Part of his chest was showing when he walked to leave the room. It was making him sick just smelling that tramp. 

His took a quick ten minutes not having the issue of staying in too long. Especially if that tramp wakes up he could not allow her to ruin his morning in the town. They always enjoyed him visiting which he had no problem to go and see what is new. He had high hopes for today in fact. The robes on the white haired male was stripped from him as two maids started to dress him in the finest silk. He grabbed the walking stick with a dragon wrapped around the top. It may look like a stick though he had a blade inside for the proper attack if needed. “Have a good day, Master Hitsugaya.” Nodding his head, footsteps would move over toward the door with his carriage all ready.

The driver had opened the door for the young master when he approached the carriage. With a warm smile he would bow his head just slightly. A day away from that crazy wife was good enough though they had yet to be married. How could his parents be so blind? Of course they were forced and yet found each other to be perfect match. Right now his eyes were searching for someone else. The perfect one---or so his Mother says with that cheerful smile. He could not imagine Meredith was the one for him right now. She was lazy, sloth like and always complaining about how he goes out freely without even a mask. Why should he wear one? If anyone dared to strike he would cut them down or with force if he has no other choice. The people here did make him happy and at times angry with how they treat each other. That is not what he wishes to do, kill many of them just because he is high class. 

That what he hated about Meredith…

The morning was warm with lots of cheerful smiles upon the people in coldstone ville. The word ‘cold’ always meant a different meaning here. Many had thought it be cold with snow all year. Perhaps half the year it was; other than that it always was sunny here. No one would tell what secrets lie here in the very place that brings joy around. The kingdom had great leaders who always thought of their people over themselves. Many welcomed them with open arms that lead to disasters if they love the royalty.

There was one place this girl rather be---in the arms of her customers. A life of a chef was not easy knowing how her parents wanted the life of her to continue in their eyes. How about her own eyes? The world she saw wasn’t as cold they made her see. Yes, she was an orphan here at a church where they found her placed. Since young she always made bread for the people in need of food. Many were thankful she was around in making the room shine with a bright light that was glowing like a candle. 

“Good Morning!” A gentle tone would brighten the room of the store she worked at for an old friend. His age was about sixty which young for an elder male who seemed to be quite energetic over working. “Bri-san…thank you again for coming to help me.” His voice was in a soft tone in seeing she woke up early every morning to help with the shop. 

Stepping inside the shop was a girl wearing a red cloak, long golden hair down to her waist, dark blue eyes with a pale skin color. Lips were thin with a light pink shade upon them which she looked like a doll many would call her. Long white sleeve, a vest was on top was a light black with a white apron over the front having her long skirt have a button on the right side to unhook if need to run away with her short skirt underneath. The skirt was light purple of a nice shade where she had looked like a stuffed child keeping warm. “Oh, Michael it is no problem at all! I really love helping out others like yourself.”  

Hours and hours of work she helped bake bread for many of the visitors that came by. One surprise leads after another when a teenage boy came in with a royalty clothing. A sudden large amount of gasping was heard when the boy came in with many customers bowing their heads. Michael had widened his eyes when noticing such a person came in with high class. To such a poor place he came to see them instead of other places. It was then that a cup of coffee hit the male’s shoes which he glared slightly feeling the day got even worse. A peasant had gotten scared or cocky thinking he go easy on them when a sudden image came into his view. A short female had rushed over to use her own skirt as a napkin in wiping his shoe off. 

The waitress bowed their heads in apologizing when the young male looked quite interested in her. “I am so sorry mister for that. You are not hurt are you?” Lifting her head the female had a warm smile on her face even facing the grumpy male. He quickly looked away with a hand on his walking staff. Gripping the top, he lowered his head to meet her gaze when a hand touched her head to show how much height difference there was.  “No ma’am I am perfectly fine as you can see. I am still walking and breathing. However, you must not worry about me.” Removing his hand, slowly he walked up to the front in ordering some bread. Whispering to the manager he would ask for having to show her around in payment he would pay for taking her on a tour. “N-No! That would be just fine!”  

Watching the two from afar she found it strange that the manager was rather nervous. He didn’t even decline when she was told that work would be done tomorrow. Have a tour…? She has seen the city quite a few times. Why did this male want to see her so badly? He seemed quite nice with how he approached her. At first he was about ready to yell when she appeared things changed. What possibly could have changed? Staring at him the male walked up to her with a smile and his eyes were warm. “Ready to go, Miss Bri?” 

“A-Ah, yes mister!” A laughter came out from the boy which never happened in his years of being alone. Well, not totally alone with marrying some girl who acted more like she wanted him for his body. With his hand he offered to hold while leaving. Bri didn’t understand why everyone was so uptight about everything. Even her manager was wishing them good luck like he just sold her to this boy. That wasn’t true right? Did she get bought by him? “U-Um…am I being bought by you miste—“ 

A soft chuckle left his lips when hearing her words which he turned toward Bri. Before approaching the carriage a head shaking would appear. “No, you are mistaken… I have no interest in buying you like some object. I am merely wanting to take you around town. Is that a bother, Bri?” A dark red would appear on the girl’s cheeks at his question knowing he was acting kind to her. This usually doesn’t happen but many offered for help. In this time her heart was opening to him. “N-No! I was just curious is all. I-I didn’t get your name.” The albino male leaned toward the girl’s ear just to see a few women wearing high class clothing got the glance of who he was. “Toshiro Hitsugaya…can you remember that?” 

My whole world has turned upside-down or perhaps have I been dreaming this whole time. That name had a certain royalty to it. However, I did not realize how much class he was…Maybe he was just being generous in taking me around. I want to know him more but, just knowing his name was good enough that I wanted to keep these memories close to my heart. Where only you would be…Only you I want to have there.

My Star || Chapter 1 -The Princess Belongs To Me

Being a pro at modeling made him quite popular around everyone he knew. Not just that it was bad, he felt that his life had changed quickly when he first started out. It was good to have fans that cheer you on after each time you won that medal or trophy. It felt great to follow your dreams. But after a while it was making things tiresome. That is how this one boy felt. He wanted a new life. One that had at least something that excites him. He wanted some way to get out of this life, one place that could take him there.  He wished that one thing could be here quite soon… Everything was changing before his very eyes.

“Shiro-chan, wow you are amazing!” A small brunette girl would look at his twenty trophies that he had got just today from being the top in the modeling career “It nothing special, Hinamori…” He would answer in a calm tone with taking off his big jacket that was placed on a hanger inside his closet. “Nothing special?! Shiro-chan, this is great for you! Even if you find this career pointless, your family always loved how good you are!” Touching the glass with her fingertips, gently pressing her cheeks into the object in looking like a clown. “Stop doing that! You look like an idiot…” His teal orbs shifted away from her knowing the one person he wanted to impress was her. It seemed anything he did, she only see him as a child or some brother. What could he do? 

Voices upon voices made his headache get worse after joining something called the ice academy. It was a flyer he saw in the window for people to join. The school was interesting to teach about skiing. Sure, it was stupid to join something with learning how to use a pole with ski boards that fit on your two ski boots. Many thoughts ran through his mind knowing he must be ready to learn. That wasn’t the problem only that seeing the man with Momo had caused his blood to boil. He been through this during school and now off to the academy here it was something he wish to break. On the bus, he noticed students talking to one another which a sigh would leave his lips. It was a six hour drive to his destination where he sat in a seat by himself. As usual he would be alone. Though it didn’t bother him much. Really he loved sitting on his own with the thoughts running through his mind. “Ah, Hitsugaya-san you look tense. It shouldn’t be hard for you to learn this sport.” The male had approached with that smile he knew Hinamori would love. Her soft giggles escaped her lips when he noticed that, part of his heart was broken knowing she never see him. Never notice how much he fought just to let her eyes go on him.  It always ended like this…

“Hello, Aizen.” His voice was cold with eyes staring into the other with anger he felt something hit his head. Momo used her hand to smack Toshiro seeing he was being rude. “Shiro-chan, be nice to Aizen! He was only acting like a normal human would.” With a growl he was thankful that the ride to where they needed had stopped. In the mountain area there he saw a field of snow. The most favorite season it had come. Pressing the button for his seatbelt, quickly he would leave the bus after the students hearing Hinamori call for him. He ignored it… knowing that she just complained to him later. Why did it have to end like this? Why is it always him? 

Gathered at the front gate, a black iron bars would slowly creek when opening which a mansion would be the place where they sleep or have room mates. Great… if he had some weirdo or even Aizen then he demanded to switch. It would bother him to have Hinamori come over and that would be his Hell. It was times like this he rather give up on being beside her. She was fine, he wanted to believe that and yet, why did he feel that Aizen was using her? Whatever if she wants to be with a man like that---so be it.

A tall brown haired woman would walk up to the gate with a cheerful smile upon her face. “Good evening you all!” Bowing her head, many of the people would whistle while others just complained for them on the bus toward this place. “I am sure you all are tired. First you will rest then we will send you off to your rooms to await your room mates or maybe you would be lucky to not have one.”  Many grumbles would be heard from the group of newbies which Toshiro just shook his head and followed the group.

The long corridors were long with many paintings on the walls of the previous groups that came here. Seeing the ski equipment as art on the wall was interesting to him. The only problem was Aizen and Momo were right in front holding hands and sharing kisses while they walked. Great… Nice thing to be into or at least right in front of. He had enough of this and wished Momo the great luck in being in love. At the point of his heart it was about ready to snap or break. All his effort was in vain all she saw him was some brother. Letting out a sigh, slowly he look away to see they took a right to the two doors inside was three long tables which had food served on it. This somehow reminded him of Harry Potter and Hogwarts. How funny if they were copying the same idea. The academy wouldn’t have any magic at all which was a bummer. 

His legs would walk to the middle table where he noticed their name tags were around. Supposedly they had places of sitting which High School was happening all over again. So, long he doesn’t have to be near those love birds then all is fine. At the end of middle table he felt perfect here without much trouble. Next to him the name tag had said ‘Haku’ which was odd he never heard that name. At least not in High school here most of his students were there which he was quite well picked on due to his height. Which pissed him off completely. Grabbing his chair slowly he pulled it out to take a seat where his name tag had been placed in front of the white plate. On the first table Aizen had sat next to Momo in having a perfect spot which he was annoyed at. 

Hinamori waved at Toshiro who had a bright smile across her face. Using his hand, slowly he wave back with a small smile. Only that Aizen put his arm around her waist in pulling her up to his chest. Hinamori then blocked out Toshiro’s view which turned her attention on Aizen. 

“That’s rough.” A red haired male sat across from Toshiro which a glare would appear on his face. “Sorry. I think you should just give up on her. There no chance she ever take you out on a dat—“ Suddenly a foot would bump right into the tall male who yelped in pain. Reaching for the bowl of jello, gently he would place it on top of his plate in eating it slowly with picking up by his fingers. “Renji, can you not act like a asshole? How do you know nothing will change between them?” Renji would glare at the black haired female who just kicked him. “R-Rukia…! You should be nice to your best friend.” Raising a black eyebrow, her eyes would roll in taking a seat beside Renji. “I don’t recall ever being your friend.” Reaching for a green apple, her eyes would look at the name card next to Hitsugaya. “Seems she must be new around here in Japan. I do not know much but, it seems she came from London.” Renji eyes widen at hearing the news which he looked at the name tag only to feel a cake smashed into his face.

“HEY! What was that for?!” Rukia looked away only to feel pressure by Renji moving in closer with frosting all over his face. 

London huh? Well, at least it isn’t anyone else though he can’t be certain she was his roommate. It be nice if it weren’t Hinamori or Aizen. Not that he hated her, it was something he must not encounter in having her go out to see him. Knowing he never get to have that chance. In a way, Renji had been truthful about her knowing that he can’t have her as of now she has chosen Aizen.

The others has begun to find their chairs where they sit when coming to eat or he thought that how it works. When the head master came in it was all beginning to make Toshiro feel this was Hogwarts. “Welcome to the academy for Skiing you have come to learn. Though it won’t be easy, we will have you learn step by step, which can be difficult though let us give each of you your key to the room. The person you sit next to will be your roommate.” Rukia eyes widen seeing Renji was smirking like a dork which she looked away. “Great I get stuck with you for hours and hours. I rather be with my Nii-sama!” One of the males was the teacher which he was Byakuya Kuchiki along with his Wife Hisana Kuchiki who had sat beside him knowing her sister was upset. 

The rest was explained by paper which Toshiro had looked at the empty chair that seemed so lonely. Had she found out about him and ran away? Maybe she wasn’t coming and somehow escaped the fate of meeting someone. No, why should he care? She would show up or he gets the room to himself. Works out for him in the end away from what pain he been suffering for years.

When they were dismissed his legs would move forward then back to where his room be. It seemed to be the very top stairs which he found that be quite far from the front entrance. Using the key in the door, slowly he would turn it in opening it finding the room had a large bed with huge closet for lots of clothing. The bathroom was located inside using a door he found that it was going downstairs to a hot springs or taking it to a large rectangle area. When he came back to see the large door was pushed open t another room that was exactly the same design as his was. Large enough for the two people to live without too much trouble. How big was this?! Had everyone got a big room before? This can’t be right… Well, whatever it was a room and he shouldn’t be complaining. The view from the window was exquisite he really was fond of this room. 

“I should take a shower before bed.” Talking to himself the male would put the key in his suitcase with the door closed to lock it. No one would be bothering him including Hinamori who probably will have a fun time with her boyfriend. He was itching his skin with anger. The word ice had melted on him ever since he felt pain through his heart again, and, again. He wanted to find someone that accepts him. No matter what he did, how nice he was, people still had pushed him aside. Why is that…?

Grabbing his towel on it the design has a dragon with him walking toward the bathroom door. He would turn on the light finding the stairs was quite fashionable. “This is just like Hogwarts…” Once he ended up there; the shower would be on the right where many sizes were found. It was quite new for him to take in being in a Foster home where he lost his parents so young. A Grandmother had found him alone which she took him in without questions. Taking off his clothing, he would open the glass door to step inside with the water turning on warm. Everything was there for him to use in washing himself. 

Meanwhile a limo pulled up with a girl having blonde hair to her waist, blue eyes with the butler opening the door for her. “Miss it seems we are late. Should we go back?” The petite girl came out with her blue dress with ruffles at the bottom while her eyes looked up at the tall mansion. Surely someone had expected her to come. She sent word of it by letter which was slow though sending a day early they should read it. When approached the butler pressed the button with hearing a voice speak into. “Yes, are you the last student who sent a letter?” Nodding her head, the butler would answer for her which the teachers came up to the door having the butler carry her things. “Oh, welcome! I was afraid you got lost Miss.” Bowing her head the young girl hated the way she be treated. 

Bowing her head back she would feel a couple rain drops finding the adults had not paid attention to her. Where had that room be? Searching forever be a waste of time. “I will find a way myself.” She told the others in rushing across the courtyard. The map given to her was secretly by her parents in case she got lost and her butler could not help. The strong breeze stopped their vision with the wind thrashing around. Using her strength she pushed through seeing this place was quite tall. “I know!” Grabbing the wall she used her strength in climbing which luckily she had found this easy and quite fun. Not aware the troubles she be into for doing such a act.

The shower took long than he expected which the white haired male would step out with grabbing his towel. He noticed robes were folded neatly which those had be used for Queens and Princesses. “Seems I am royalty not that I mind.” Looking at his towel he grabbed the robe to put it over him in tying the string across with walking up the stairs to his room. No sight of his roommate which he hated to share this alone. Having no choice he has to sleep. “All I have to do i---“

Knock…knock…

Jumping alarmed he noticed a girl right outside the window area which a balcony was there though the wind was quite strong even for her she be knocked down. A long way down would be a gruesome death here at the academy. That idiot! Who was she and why is she here?! “What the!” Moving to the window he opened it seeing the girl had moved her foot in losing the footing. Quickly he reached for to grab her arm, pulling her toward him slowly he wrap his arms around her hearing the butler and two adults sigh in relief. “Are you Hitsugaya-san?!” They yelled at the top of his lungs with a nod he would answer back. “Thank goodness! We shall be up there shortly to explain. Please forgive us for putting you up to this.” Rushing away the butler and the two adults hurried quickly inside with no effort to explain. 

What…? What had they meant by that? He wasn’t going to babysit some girl was he? If so, then he did not sign up just to make sure she passes. He would pass on his own and herself. 

Arms would wrap around Toshiro for warmth when she felt he pulled her inside with shutting the window. “What are on earth were you doing?! You could of died!” He noticed the girl was soaked by being out in the rain. Clothes…? What could he give her that would be better than that outfit. Was she back in the 1900’s? Who even wore that kind of thing? “I-I am sorry I ju---“ Taking a step forward she would trip over her own shoes in landing face first on the ground. His eyes would blink just slightly with moving over to help her sit up. “Just stay here till I find you clothes or those people come.” 

“I am sorry…” The blonde haired girl would use her fingers to rub the tears out from her eyes. Feeling bad he would sit beside her with letting out a sigh. “What’s wrong?” Teal orbs would shift over to her where he had not even changed into clothing and now was wet thanks to her attempt in getting inside. “PRINCESS!” The door would open suddenly with the silver haired male rushing to her side. Wait…did he just say---Princess? 

“Oh, Hitsugaya-san I am quite happy you were assigned to her hearing so much about you!” The butler would smile happily at the boy with checking for any wounds on the girl. “Wait…what is going on here? I did not hear that the girl be a Princess.” He raised a eyebrow, looking puzzled at the girl and then seeing the two adults enter. “We are sorry for not telling you before. You left so suddenly we should have informed you in person. Though well, you be guarding her during this process.” Excuse me? Guarding? I have no time to guard some Princess. Isn’t that his job?! And why did it have to be him? Of all people. 

“I really am no babysitter you think I got time to watch over her? Why just me? Am I so special that you couldn’t pick someone else?” The petite girl felt her tears came out with troubling him knowing she could handle herself. “I can do it myself! I told you no one wants to help me. I-I always tried so hard to make others see me, but when I do they always run away. He is the same! HE IS…just like them.” Covering her face the small girl would cry with feeling guilty for having this happen. “T-Take my things to a room or the dungeon anywhere tha---“ A finger would touch the female lips being the white haired male who felt like a asshole. He truly can’t believe she was crying over a rejection. Clearly she was spoiled in the least he would have to think of this. “You aren’t deserving of being in the dungeon.” He noticed her hands removed from her face which now she looked like a mess. Letting out a sigh, he would grab a tissue to move it toward her nose when she blew into it. 

“You got that? I will agree only because I am sure anyone else would treat you badly.” Teal orbs would soften when hearing her words played over, and, over again. She was just like him…alone and trying so hard. Is that why he wanted to help her? Still she was a Princess and that meant her ways of things would be harsh on her. “Arigatou, Hitsugaya-san! You will be awarded for this. I assure you we won’t let you down.” Toshiro shook his head at the butler who said payment or awards never would make him happy. “I will do it or accept when she passes here. After all, we have to teach a Princess how to ski. That is no easy task now is it?” With a chuckle the butler would cover his lips knowing that she never done this before. “H-Hey! I am just fine on my own I to—“ Toshiro hand covered her mouth gently with shaking his head at her. “Remember? I am your guardian that why you won’t be alone---not anymore.” 

Tears came pouring down her face which she embraced the boy around his waist in laying on his lap. “I shall bring her things and then use this bird for any emergency I will come quickly.” The male gave him some paper with the owl in the cage. Yes, this is just like Hogwarts. He truly thinks this be nothing different. When her things had been placed in the other room. He had let the girl go knowing she have to get use to on her own. He promised to be at her side but, maybe this time she will succeed. “What is your name?” His voice was soft with a bit sorrow behind it. “You wish to know mister Hitsugaya?” He used a finger to flick her forehead finding that former stuff was out of his normal life. “Just call me Toshiro.” The girl would stand up walking over to her room with fear. Turning to face Toshiro with a warm smile on her face. “My name is Bri Haku, it is nice to meet you, Toshiro-kun!” His teal orbs widen at the light shining in front of him that made his heartbeat. No one has ever done that even if Hinamori had. This girl had a light he never seen before. 

Was he getting attached to her already…?

R o y a l B l u e s || Chapter 1 - I Shall Protect You

 

In the country of England there was a tradition the Princesses at coming age go to a school to learn. Once sixteen years old they learn the ways of how to become a Princess. The tea parties, way you walk, the way you dance. Everything to learn how to take over as Queen after their Mother’s has passed along with a rightful Prince chosen by the parents. The laws were strict with these rules that the girls as children were now growing up. Many had regret being a Princess instead of a peasant. It was to this day that this rule will always be in the world of London.

In the 1830’s around London there it was in the middle of Spring. Rain came falling down from the grey clouds that hovered over the huge city. The top ceilings had been wet from the heavy rain that has fallen on top of us. In this world if you had not a great job you would not make it. Many peasants had worked so hard just to live off by the little money they had. The King and Queen of this land were very high class. Many had wished to be like the royalty in being protected or saved from death. They would not wish to be in royal. It is not as nice as you may think… 

“Bri-chan, it time to wake up, Bri-chan.” A middle age woman would use her finger to poke the pale cheek from the Princess who laid in her Queen size bed. On top of the bed had her stuff animals which were nit neatly by her maids. Since childhood they always been her best friend. Many of the children were too far away to interact with. Which she had sent letters to them all in a slow way sometimes it didn’t come in months. It scared her to send it and not realize how long it could take to receive. In training she had a white owl that was sent for the letters to arrive quickly. It seemed to work until her parents scolded her sending an owl out without the permission of them. It didn’t make sense they have her send it the old way when flying in the air could be so much easier.

 “Bri-chan, you must open your eyes and wake up.” Feeling the poking on her face she would slowly open up her small eyes in seeing the maid at her bed side. “Mm…” Her tone would sound soft with arms stretching above her head. “Mistress, it is time for you to get ready. Today is the day you leave to the academy.” Academy… was it already this day? The day I leave the house toward a mansion of learning of becoming a Queen someday. First needed of training of being a Princess which that day for her has come.

“Is it time for my ducky bath yet?” The young petite would say in a drowsy tone out of her dreams they always tend to be odd. Shaking her head the blue haired female maid would walk over to the bed. “Come on, Mistress we must hurry. I have packed your clothes, you need to get up and take a shower. Or do you wish to smell bad for all the other girls to see?” 

A hand raised up toward her maid slowly. “Gomen, It just so sad to see that you won’t be at my bed side no longer.” The blue haired female smiled warmly at the young Princess. “Oh, Bri-sama you do not need to be sad. I am sure you would be safe there as I heard it is a learning process.” A few tears fell from the young petite face about the maid words. “I will miss you a lot, Emmy.” The words the Princess spoke were sweet. Emmy knew that this wouldn’t be the last time she saw her which knowing this she loved her with a Mother’s love. “I will too, Mistress. I will a lot.”

With the words spoken; the young petite Princess would leave to the bathroom with the pair of clothing she would wear just to go to the academy. Most of her clothes were already packed by her maids which deep down she didn’t want to leave. This castle was her home where she grew up in. Right now everything was being slowly taken away from her. One thing she hopes is that her friend that always mail to her would be there. That is what she hoped… 

Thirty minutes passed with her coming out with a sky blue dress already tied in the back. Emmy came with her bags already taken out to the carriage. “Mistress, I can only braid your hair other than that I must hurry.” Her Parents must have wished for her to arrive early instead of being late. That would show she was willing to learn. Right now she didn’t care much for it. It wasn’t worth it. 

“Don’t look so sad, Mistress. I will be able to send you letters when I am able. You can write us anytime and shall receive our letters.” With a small smile the blonde haired female nod he r head with hearing a deep voice. “So, finally growing up into a fine woman, huh?” The voice came from her brother who put his hands on top of her chest. “Eek!” Jumping up away from the bench with a pink round pillow attached to it. In front was a mirror with all her accessories for Emmy to use. “Jallel-san, you never change do you?” Emmy shook her head back and forth at his actions in seeing his little sister grow up. Placing two hands on her chest, a frown would appear on her lips at watching her brother. He wore his noble clothing ready for school which he already grew of age. As a Prince he was required the same though he was off to boy academy. Each year they would go until they reach a certain age and then learn from that. Or if required; the parents choose whom they would marry once returned.

Many thought you had a life free from the laws of noble. It wasn’t the truth, not at all. You had a life in riches; but that life is chosen by you with parents choosing who you love. 

“I hope you gain some knowledge in this subject so you can get married off. I hope the guy isn’t as dumb like you!” Bri puffed out her cheeks in feeling angry. “I-I won’t become dumb! Why are you always so mean?” Turning her head away, a voice would call from downstairs. “Jallel, you need to leave your sister alone! She only has fifteen minutes!” The voice was the Mother of the two children who grew up together. Back then it was so simple; now it is as though her life is changing around her. Being clumsy she never make being a Princess. Not at all…Why can’t her parents see that?

“Hurry up, squirt. Or you be late which put a bad name on our family!” Jallel smirked at his sister watching her make that angry expression. He really would miss her the most in being worried. Would she really fit in? He hoped that the parents would see she just a mess. Though it is time for her to grow up and stop dreaming like a kid. She won’t be able to just be a kid forever like he hoped to be. Stepping down the stairs, his eyes would shift away from his parents who smiled happily. “Do not worry. I am sure she will not fail.” The sweet tone came from the female with blonde hair down to her waist. Her ocean blue eyes would fill with warmth. “Mother, I doubt you are even worried, however she just a kid. You should wait another year till she ready.” Jallel noticed his Father step in the room with his arm wrapped around the female waist. “Son, when you are old like us with kids you understand.” His Father had his hair to the shoulders with his blue eyes shifting toward the stairs. 

Up on the stairs; slowly taking one step at a time, a hand would hold onto her that would be by Emmy in making sure she was safe. Once the last step was taken; her feet tripped over each other in falling forward which the skirt part lifted up enough to show her underwear. “Nice panties.” Jallel spoke with seeing her blue berry panties which a hand would hit him on top of his head. A low growl left Jallel’s lips in walking toward the door. “I still say you guys are rushing her out the door. Stupid idiots you guys should learn she is not ready.” He grabbed the door handle in twisting it so he could open it. Once he did, a sorrow look was on his face with not seeing his sister for a long time. “Good luck.” He said just before exiting out of the door in slamming it behind him. 

“Jallel…” Bri felt tears down her cheeks at how angry he was in seeing her go. She knew deep down he was angry at forcing her to leave early. “Ignore that fool. He obviously doesn’t learn from his school that you both have a duty to fulfill.” Shad crossed his arms across his chest with shaking his head. “My dear, are you alright?” A sweet voice came over with hands touching her shoulder. “Mother…I am fine.” Inside her mind she wasn’t fine without her brother it was hopeless. He always was there to help her. Now she on her own as a child growing up she must now get out of that reality. “Mother, Father I will do you proud in becoming someone better.” 

The two parents were shocked by her not complaining in begging why she had to leave. They must know she had to do this for their family. “Darling, you don’t have to think of it like that. You never were a bad child that needs to change; more over you need to learn how to be a Princess.” Lips would press against her forehead softly. “Mother…” A hand would stroke his Daughter’s head softly with ruffling her hair. “Your Mother is right we do not want you to change. Now go have fun!” The hair in front of her was sticking up thanks to her Father. “Yes, I shall go have fun! I will miss you both quite dearly.” With her last words the two adults had embraced her daughter. With kisses on her cheeks there she would notice Emmy. Standing still until she was allowed to walk over. “I will miss you, Mistress. Never forget that we all will be here for you.” 

Nodding her head slowly walked toward the door in opening it once again. Being alone was one thing she could not stand, but this was her path in becoming a great Princess. Even if small, she shall do what can be done in being her best.

The door would slowly close with the driver smiling warmly at her. Helping her inside she would sit on the chair with her thing inside. Feeling the carriage slowly pulled down the road toward the academy where she stays most of her days. Waving to her parents the last time she sees them for a long time. The trip toward the academy had taken at least eight hours which lead into a deep forest. Inside the carriage looked safe though her eyes shifted to the bag. It had filled with many things mostly her clothing along with letters stuffed inside. 

The driver outside kept going even through the rainstorms that passed by. The young Princess worried for his health though he told her it was alright. During the trip she would notice a unicorn which quickly pressed her cheeks against the window. It was magical to find creatures like that. In London she didn’t think it be possible. With this place surrounded by water it seems other places appear out in the open. On the trail her eyes spotted a city which had been a market of some kind. Down the road even further was the huge academy. Around were houses that placed for the princesses there. “We are almost there , mistress.”  

His voice spoke which she heard from the door being open near the front where she been sitting. Once he spoke those words; slowly the carriage would arrive at the academy where they all be meeting. Their rooms be selected with a roommate. Roommate?! Why didn’t she think of this? If someone was mean to her as a roommate there was no telling what she do. 

The negative thoughts would not help in this situation. Reaching down already the bag was disappeared from her site. Was she robbed?! A robbing in a carriage would be quite odd. Though the driver already had taken her few bags inside to be placed with butlers taking them to her room.  “Mistress, I have already taken them inside. You may find your way in which I do warn you to not get lost.” His hand would be offered for her for some help out of the carriage. Taking his hand gently in her own the blonde haired girl got out of the carriage. “Thank you…” Leaning her head forward would bow just before she rushed over to the huge doors that were double. Grabbing the handle quickly it would be turned in pulling the door towards her. When stepping inside there was a long hallway that lead with stairs on the left. Upstairs it seemed like doors were everywhere. Oh, where should she go? It would be her first time and now she may just get lost…

Up at the top there was a chandelier which had a beautiful design. A few adults were walking around with many males wearing these butler outfits. They were getting prepared for this year Princesses it seemed. “U-Um…” Her voice was soft with approaching the male when he had showed his fangs towards her. F-Fangs?! Wait, why did he have…? Turning to the right, feet would hit the ground heavily in running away. This was a bad dream! Bad, bad, bad. She had no way to get back home unless some way to call. Rushing to the wall her body was breathing heavily hoping to never see that male again. His eyes looked evil with a deep desire to harm her. “Mistress, have you gotten lost. You shouldn’t wander around alone.” A calm tone came from behind her which her body slowly turned to face him. 

The boy had teal orbs with his small slender body reaching a hand up toward her cheek. He wore a black butler uniform which looked very elegant. A white shirt was shown as the first shirt; a black tie would be near his neck, teal vest like top with buttons running down while his black long sleeve shirt with black pants would be shown with nice black shoes to go with it. Using a finger he wiped away the tears that fallen from her face. “Mistress…has anyone hurt you?” He checked her entire body which made the pale cheeks turned bright pink. He kawaii! Super kawaii I can’t keep my eyes off of him. At least he isn’t like that other male who almost wanted to bite her. Wait… that only is a fairy tale with vampire’s right? 

Arms wrapped around the boy tightly in fear that she would be killed if he had not shown up. Rubbing her cheeks against his soft fabric, tears came falling down her cheeks to where she should be going. “Ah, Mistress you shouldn’t cry. I love it if you smile at least for me it be beautiful.” Teal orbs glared at the male down near the entrance. He knew that man had scared her in showing something she shouldn’t have seen. Had he no manners as a butler? He worried bringing that guy out from his home was foolish. The master of this school was required for each of them to help the Princesses not to scare them. 

For five minutes she cried when he stroked her head the tears slowly subsided. “Mistress, how do you feel now?” His words were soft with kindness. Lifting her head, two blue eyes would look right into his kind smile that would brighten the room. “I-I am fine now. Gomen—I cried for a long time in fear that man w-would eat me.” Those words upset the young boy who wrapped his arms tightly around the female. “I promise you no one will have you for dinner. If anyone tries I will kill them.” His words whispered right into her ear softly. K-Kill…? He no needs to kill someone over that though it protect her. Surely he would not need to do such a thing.

“Please do not kill. I do not require to see such bloodshed. If you promise those words then I will believe you.” Shaken her hands would touch the cheeks of her own. Shifting his lips into a warm smile the male grabbed her hand gently. “Of course, Mistress. We shall go to the dining hall to await what be told for you. I do hope I get to see you again.” His words were like a bitter goodbye or that she wouldn’t see him. 

Walking down the hall they would reach toward a room further down from the opposite way she went. The whole building was confusing which her eyes shifted away from others. When she approached the two doors there inside hearing many female voices. “You may walk inside to find a seat, Mistress.” He took his hand away from hers slowly. Bri face looked sad with seeing him let go of her hand. “A-Ah, wait!” Before she could stop him he would already be gone which confused her. He was right there! Well, she have to figure out who these people were. No human could just disappear…could they? 

Pushing the doors open right inside she noticed other Princesses who stared at her from different countries. A lot of their eyes would look at her with cold glares. The rest looked at her with a few cheeks blushing dark red in whispering words about her. The society here was like at her home with talking about you when you didn’t realize. Looking down at the floor she noticed there was a spot near the back row. Rushing over she would trip in feeling the ground met with her face. Many girls laughed at her clumsiness. Getting up on the ground her legs would move over to the chair in sitting down. Looking down at her skirt, tears came pouring out her eyes in wishing someone to accept her. It already been a few minutes and now she wishes to go home.

A female would walk up to the front desk with her eyes on every Princess. “Welcome to the academy of Princesses. You all will be required a butler during the time of your learning. They will help you get ready, go to classes, and make sure you are prepared for when you leave it will make you stronger.” In front of them there were plates of food in different varieties. Bri eyes shifted toward the food in hearing her stomach growl. Every one of the girls had gotten food while the main lady spoke. “When we call your name, please hear the name of your butler while the entire class gets called out.” 

Name after name was called to her attention it would be soon hers be called. Everyone had gotten butlers while that red haired butler guy was with a girl who looked very mean. Her name was Amaya Kanataro which the family name sounded familiar that visited her once. When younger she always looked down on people which that butler seemed to fit personally. Not saying a word of it the worries were over knowing he was with someone he should be close to. 

“Bri Haku, you are with Toshiro Hitsugaya that is the last of them.” Every girl eyes were on Toshiro as he walked over to Bri who looked shocked at him. “Mistress, I am quite happy to see you again. It be nice working with such a beautiful lady.” Many girls yelled in anger at how she got the hottest guy in the academy. The rest of the butlers looked at the Princesses with their expression normal. “Ladies you aren’t here to take butlers as your lovers. That would be forbidden in your family name. Please do us a favor and keep that in mind!” The leader would yell with anger in her voice at how these girls reacted to one male. “You should be ashamed now enjoy the rest of the night.” 

Sighing in a deep tone she was thankful that lady spoke. All the girls were now angry at her or at least some were. This made her worried they come attack her in a group. “Do not fear, my lady. I will protect you as I said earlier I would.” He helped her gather some food onto the plate that now filled with food. “You need to regain your strength after today you shall be going to your room.” Blue eyes would look directly into his teal ones with being shocked. How did he know I be his Princess? Even if she says not to love. They all were beautiful with white skin. Something was off with how Toshiro left so quickly while that guy with red hair had fangs. “B-r-i-c-h-a-n.” Toshiro voice echoed right near her ear which gave her body shivers. 

Grabbing her spoon and fork she started to eat without thinking too much about it. Already she found one person who didn’t give her the cold shoulder. One person who gave her no fear inside the small body of hers. Still everything was happening so fast that she had no time to think. Eating the food would take her five minutes as she stood up from her chair. At beside her was Toshiro who would wait for her to leave. “We shall return to your dorm quickly, my lady.” Rest of the other girl’s eyes were on her mostly on her butler which she hoped they wouldn’t attack. What if they did, his words echoed in her mind that he kill them. That wouldn’t be good as of right now he be a murder. 

Exiting the room her whole body remained relaxed by just walking with Toshiro alone. All those eyes on her was causing inside the small chest to be stabbed by swords. “Toshiro, would I have to be in class with those girls?” Stopping on his feet the male would let out a soft chuckle. “My lady, do not worry about anything. If one of them attacks you they will be sent back home. Besides, I gave you my word did I not?” His arms would wrap around Bri slowly in pulling her closer. “I promised to protect you and will always do just that.” 

Having a butler beside her always would not be new. Maids always were at her side being a girl though him as a boy caused her cheeks to get red. They both exited out of the building to go across the courtyard to a house that would be just for her. Inside the house she noticed her luggage was already inside her room. “This room will only be for you. If anyone else enters they will be sent home as well.” Haku eyes widen at his words in seeing how strict it was to follow the rules. How could they know if someone came in? “T-That  male with red hair, I have a feeling he will return to see me. He almost looked like he was going to…” Her words were silenced by a finger onto the small lips. “Do not worry. I promise you that if anyone besides me or you enter. They surely will be punished by their actions. It is registered by you or I, also if you invite guests you must inform me at once.” With his head he bowed forward toward the Princess. “I will do my best to serve you, Mistress.” 

Her butler had showed her each room which had her own dining room with a kitchen. However she noticed Toshiro was making the food in preparing everything for her. “Mistress, I like you to rest now as tomorrow be a big day for you.” Patting on her right shoulder, eyes would shift down to look at hers seeing he was very close. “T-Thank you for doing everything! I-I will work hard to be a great Princess.” Smiling warmly at Bri he noticed she was slightly nervous. This girl wasn’t like his other Princesses who would always require other things from him. This was the first time he felt happy in years with one person thanking him. Most of them would order him around but, she treated him like a human. It made him very happy to hear of this.

Bri walked toward her room in finding everything was neatly placed in the space provided. The mirror was like the one at her house with a bench. Only she knew it wasn’t like home with many other girls out to get her now. They should know this wasn’t a place for them to love their butlers. Why are they all like that? Deep down she had a small crush on Toshiro at first sight. Perhaps still remaining inside her heart. Changing out of her dress the petite female would untie the bow which she felt alone doing this. Only this would require to do herself as if he had done this it be embarrassing. He would see her naked which that she wouldn’t allow. 

Dropping the dress to the ground her feet would move toward the closet which she noticed all her clothes neatly was folded inside. “Such a gentleman…h-how can I repay him?” Questioning herself she didn’t know how to repay others. This is the first, no this be many times her maids would tell her it is their job. Grabbing a blue nightgown in her fingers slowly she would grab the edge in pulling her head through the fabric till popping out of the hole where the head should go. Moving her arms through the sleeveless holes she noticed in the mirror her body was quite small. “I wonder if I can ask him to brush my hair.” Taking out the brush her legs would move up to the door when she opened it he already was there. “Did you need me, my lady?” 

“I-I-I want to repay you!” Her words just came out from emotions which he had never seen such a silly girl before. She was very different even to require repaying. “It is my job, my lady. Though I must admit you are the first to do such a thing.” Reaching for her hands, slowly he would take the brush away in knowing what she ask of him. “May you sit down so I can brush your hair? I rather you be comfortable.” Nodding her head she walked inside the room to the bed in sitting down. Toshiro was already there with pulling the ribbons out of her hair. Slowly the hair would become undone with no more braids in sight. 

For fifteen minutes he brushed her hair calmly in trying to put her at ease. This whole trip was frightening from the looks of it he knew she never had gone through that trouble. “C-Can, I request something of you?” Haku fingers gripped tightly on her night gown. Stopping the brush the albino had thought she never would request something. He only would help her be ready though a few requests he could do. Turning to face him her eyes would soften in fear of being alone. “May you sleep with me?! I feel afraid a-a-and I do not want to be alone.” His smile would rise from her question in feeling afraid. He felt from just inside the room she was safe with him. “Of course, my lady. I will follow every order besides you crying. Please smile when you can, I will do my best to make you happy.” 

His words brought happy tears down her face while slowly her lips would form into a smile. He would place her brush down by the counter where the giant mirror would sit. Slowly closing the doors his legs would move over towards her. Lifting the blankets he waited till she got in the bed. He didn’t expect much from her to do anything with him. In secret many of his previous clients would try to have sex with him. He kept quiet about it from the leaders he worked for. Knowing they learn about it sooner or later. This time he felt nervous with Bri for she only asked to be at her side. Though sleeping was another story he must keep his act up. He can’t fall from his usual routine. 

Scooting over enough to let him in the bed, slowly she saw he climbed in bed with him laying at her side. “Thank you…” She thanked him once more with her body leaning up against his body. Toshiro cheeks blushed deeply with feeling glad she was short. He couldn’t let her see his change in expression. He admired her body close to his even though he was her butler he had to keep up this act. She was like a doll that needed lots of love. Never would he let anyone harm her. Slowly her small arms would wrap around his body in leaning closer. “Good night, Toshiro-kun.” His eyes would close with his chin at the edge of her shoulder. 

 “Good night, Bri-chan.” When he said her name, her own very cheeks blushed deeply with holding onto him tightly. His body was warm with making her feel comfortable. This shouldn’t be her being safe. He was a male! Somehow inside her mind she could trust him knowing he wouldn’t take advantage even if she asked, that was forbidden to do with a butler. If he wasn’t a butler, surely she would love to be in love. He was gentle, kind, sweet, and loving. How she wished to always remain at his side.

This was all a dream that was set up for her. Surely it was a dream. She would only wake up to find this boy couldn’t have existed. Surely he couldn’t have… if this all wasn’t a dream. Perhaps someday she would look up to this and realize that everything she done was for a reason. All of this happened and thankful that he was there at my side, my butler Toshiro-kun.
