Chapter 3: The BallI ruffled at the long dress I had on; today was the day in commemoration of Prince Gaki turning 20 and coming home.
I was rather embarrassed as Taka helped me get ready, he was such a sweetie at times. I could see why the Reaction Princess Nozomi was head over heels for him.
Standing in front of the mirror I lifted up the green dress I was wearing and observed the scratch marks from Shige Hime-sans nails.
Sighing I let the dress fall down as I sat in front of the duchess's mirror fixing up my hair and makeup. I always thought of myself as a normal looking girl, but I was always complimented on how I was much cuter then the princess...which wasn't wise to say. Tucking my hair behind my ears wasn't a nice looking way.
Hmph! I said pulling it out from behind them and adjusting the pink bow hairband sitting in my hair. I screwed my hair up a bit so it wasn't so flat and straight. Preparing myself for the night ahead I took a few deep breathes and proceeded to the hall.
Names were called out one by one as princes, princess and guests were walking down the grand stair case and onto the ball room floor. My heart rushed I was still alone! I panicked and went behind several people. One young lady poked her head out at looked at me.
Leaving her partner there she came over to me with a giant warm welcome hug. I felt squashed as her breasts squished me. Finally catching my breath she looked at me with a wide smile.
"Sayaka! Long Time No See Hunny~!" She said rather enthusiastic. I admired her beauty for a second before dropping my jaw
"Mi-Miyuki!?" I asked seeing how she has changed over the last two years; she surely has grown up a fair amount now. She was now even taller than me, I did feel somewhat self conscious about that...
I coughed when she mentioned it laughing how I still was a child at 18 years of age.
I however peered over her shoulder to see a rather good-looking taller young man as her date for the night. I teased her about it; she went completely red in the face and dragged me over to meet him.
I observed the young man closely; his semi-long semi-short brown hair was pulled back in a small ponytail as part of his fringe stuck out to the side.
It was rather breathe taking the way he looked; Miyuki sure had grown up alright...with good tastes! I couldn't however but give him a rather drool worthy look at his attire. If only all guys dressed this decent these days.
Sighing to myself I walked back into my miserable place, Shige hime-san had Taka...which was weird since should be with Prince Gaki. I took another glance at Miyuki who started walking down the stairs with erm...what was it... Hii-sama? yes that was it. I stood there pouting as it came closer to my turn, I felt like just saying "Anyone take me!" but I kept my mouth shut.
I felt a warmth link into my arm when my name was called out; I think...I almost died on the spot!
"Lastly Miss Sayaka and Prince Gaki!"
I stood there for a second frozen stiff; Me me me!?! with the prince? I looked at the corner of my eye before stepping down the stair case and it was right. There stood the Prince Gaki white a gleaming white attire and a warm welcoming smile as he walked me down the stairs.
Maybe he felt bad for me? I thought biting my upper lip to stop from screaming.
We reached the ball room floor where everyone took their dance positions. I felt a trickle of sweat run down my neck; Shige hime-san always said I was a horrible dancer... The prince looked at me with concern then smiled taking me into a dance position.
xx------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------xx
I could see Sayaka was getting nervous about the dancing, I didn't notice I had a concern look on my face till I felt a smile creep on my face as I held her in the starting dance position.
As the music started her body followed naturally; her steps in sync as her green dress flowed out and back in. I didn't see what she was worried about. She is a perfect natural dancer!
Halting to the end we had a few people stare us down, I focused on Sayaka as she went a lovely shade of crimson red so I decided to take her out into the garden.
She seemed to be taken in my the blooming and aroma of the roses; she stood there looking at them, possibly they were reflecting in her eyes. I smiled and pulled on off its branch; being careful not to pinch or tear my skin on the thorns.
I wasn't that lucky and had a small cut. Sayaka looked at the cut and placed her rose on the gardens cement surroundings as she took my finger and placed it in her mouth to stop the bleeding.
Taken by I felt a little embarrassed more than anything, not many would do that. Sayaka had seemed to answer my question by the expression on her face.
"I was taught when I was a little girl; one way to help cuts like those is to put it in your mouth~" Her smile seemed to ache in my heart as I felt it skip a bet from her bewildered words.
If this was going to be it; I wanted her night to end nicely. I gave her back her rose as I led her to the little outdoor area.
It had an over view of the whole garden with a glittering water fountain in the middle. Sayaka seemed taken in by it all as her eyes observed her surroundings. I looked at her my eyes observing her.
Back when I first met her; her hair was about the colour of mine and much longer then hers is now. I had a little sigh to myself thinking it must be because of her parents...they are way to harsh on her!
I put my hand out and held hers in mine as I spoke to her,
"It's been awhile huh? Saya, I completely forget the day I met you..." I looked at her as her face seemed to change from her normal beautiful smile to a gloom as I saw a grey drop mark the balcony railing.
"I...I'm sorry Prince Gaki," She said as her tears seemed to fall a bit faster. "I told you that night, to forget me after you opened up to me.." She looked at me in the eyes; her were filled with melancholy as tears prickled more in them.
Sighing out loud I wiped her tears away from her eyes.
"I know, but you were only 16 then; things change." I said to her pulling her in closer.
"I guess so but, I felt bad...that everyone said you mean...not remembering me..when I told you to forget me!" Sayaka seemed a little distraught. I couldn't help but feel sucked in my her; I lifted up her chin and told her.
"Sayaka, the young maiden who caught my eye when she walked in with a rather absurd maid outfit on..." she looked at me her eyes seemed to soaking up my words "I want to try just one thing. One thing that I've wanted to do for some time now..."
I leant in, not much however as she seemed just the right height. I went closer to met her lips that I longed to touch and feel the warmth to.
"GAKI!!" Nozomi called out...no wailed out! I sighed biting my lips hard and turning to my little cousin.
"WHAT!?" I said a little to annoyed as she yelped a little.
"That shige! SHE'S MEANNN!! She stole my TAKA!!" Nozomi went on sitting un lady like on the ground bawling her eyes out. I felt Sayaka brush past me, the same aroma came off her from before.
She picked up Nozomi and lead her back inside, she gave me a short look. Her eyes said it all to me; I smiled and waved to her as she left off with the Reaction Princess...
I stared at the stars that were ever so bright that night;
You want to be my princess...Sayaka ? I said under my breath with a smile. No need to
want it, I'll
make you my princess!
