[chapter 3]
It's been a lonely 3 weeks since she arrived at the yoshire castle. Since her family returned to Jurai, she's been alone most of the the time. She noticed that in the large castle there were really only three women living. Yosho, Tenchi and Washu, excluding her and the demon. Everyday is quite a boring day, although it is lovely in the morning when she roam around the garden to see the beautiful flowers and sturdy tree. Sometimes she end up talking to the flowers because there is no one she can talk to.
It is already lunch time, Yosho ask her if she would like to have her lunch at her room or at the dining area, today she decided to eat at the dining area, she have been eating in her room for the last 3 weeks, she doesn't want to confront the demon just incase again she plan to visit the dining hall, but for today, she thought of just go with the flow if the demon pays a visit.
One thing the Princess loves in the castle is its good food. The lunch served is very good, she thought if she goes back to Jurai main castle, she will miss the food most of all. As she quietly eats, the door of the dining hall creeks open, she suddenly felt her heart beats fast, 'if this is the demon, why is the light still on...is she planning to kill me?' the princess thought.
"Good afternoon Princess Ayeka" a nasal voice said, then the Petit child sits opposite the princess, "You like the food?" Washu ask smiling
Ayeka smiled and nodded, "The food here is great. You cook right?" she smiled
"I cook for the guess. Yosho usually takes care of Ryoko's food, she likes spicy, and i don't do spicy stuff" she smiled again
"have you eaten?" Ask the princess
"Yes, i usually eat with Ryoko at the mini dining hall"
"You can see her face then? your immune to the curse?" Ayeka ask, her face looks astonished
Washu shook her head, "We eat without the light. I mean her side dark, but i prefer to eat that way so she will have someone to talk to from time to time...it's hard to be by yourself for 100 years, when you really have someone and yet not allowed to see you" Washu said smiling, though this time her smile is sad
"Why do you care so much about the demon?" Ayeka ask, voice still calm, "Doesn't she hurt you? or Yosho or Tenchi?" Ayeka look at Washu
"She doesn't hurt anyone...and that is the reason she locks herself to her room, she is contented to just look at Jurai from her own little world." Washu's face become serious, "I am sorry that the'demon' have to take you away from your family, but i hope you can find it in your heart to give the 'demon' the chance to befriend you. She is not that evil Princess Ayeka" Then Washu stand up, "I know your being lonely too, if you want to talk about something, i am always available, and so is Yosho and Tenchi, please continue eating, and i do hope you enjoy your food" Then she slowly walk away out of the dining hall.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The princess wanders the dark castle, this is the first time she tried to look at the palace at its entirety, walking, her feet took her to the castle's kitchen. Upon opening it, she saw Yosho whipping up something.
"Good evening Yosho" greeted the princess. The Lovely woman look at the princess and smiled
"I'm whipping something for Ryoko to eat. You see, Ryoko has quite an apetite, her metabolism is quite fast" Yosho said as she happily stirs the soup in the pot
"Where is Tenchi?"
"Oh..she must be outside watering the plants. Ryoko can't do them at this hour...she fears somebody might peek and see her face"
"May i ask..." The princess look at Yosho as the woman turn to her and nod, "What happened to the demon's face? how come a look on her face can kill anyone? could she look that hideous?" She look at Ysosho's face, her smile vanished, "I'm sorry Yosho, i was just wondering"
"I don't know how she looks like right now" Yosho answered, "Nobody from this house have seen her face after that...." yosho went back to stirring, her back on the Princess, "The last time i see her face...it was the day beore her fifteenth birthday" she added
"Why?"
"She lock herself up"
"She is alone then since she was 15? how old is she now?"
"Same as your age"
"She....she's been alone for that long?" The princess' voice suddenly became sad, she can't figure out why she suddenly feel guilty about her past actions, about her rudeness towards the demon, "I've been here for only 3 weeks and i already feel lonely...and really, loneliness is so depressing" Ayeka smiled then yawn
"Tired princess? You must get in your bed, i'll just bring the dinner to your room so you can rest." Yosho said, looking at the princess smiling, 'she really is beautiful, no wonder Ryoko get cursed' she smiled at herself upon thinking, 'how i wish she could feel the same way about ryoko and lift the curse' then shook her head
"Something's that matter?" The princess ask as she notice the change of emotions displayed by the older woman
"ah..." she said as she was caught unguarded, "No...i was just in deep thought"
"Okay" said the princess, smile and turn her back to Yosho, "I'll be up on my Room Yosho"
"Yes Princess, I'll take your dinner there"
"Thank you very much"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon entering her chamber, Ayeka jump to her bed and lied down. She close her eyes, then she remembers sasami's words, -maybe the demon wants to see you, maybe she likes you- though they give her the creeps, the princess did not feel anger, as she have felt before when sasami opened the matter up. Right now, she could feel how hard it is for the demon to be alone. MAybe Washu is right, she should give the demon the chance to befriend her. 'alright...i'll talk to her tomorrow' Ayeka thought. Then she sit up, and look at the door to her balcony. She stand up and opened the door
--------------------------------------------------------------------------< br />
Ryoko was staring at the close door of Ayeka's room, sighing deeply, she stand up and look at her mirror. She took a silver hairbrush and started smoothing her spiky cyan hair. 'there can never be any hope for her to love me the way i love her...and i'll die from this curse because of this stupid love!' she thought then smiled, 'but i still love her, and have no regrets...atleast we are closer...tho her door is always close....' she slump her shoulder down, stand up and walk to her bed, 'i hope yosho is finish whipping up something for me to eat, i really am hungry' she thought as she heard her stomach growl, then she sit up and to her surprise, when she look at the Princess room, her balcony door is open, "WOW" that's all Ryoko can say, and she smiled
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Perhaps...your looking at me right now?" Ayeka said softly as she stares outside her Balcony, she is standing outside, looking at the garden, trying hard not to look at the window opposite her room, 'maybe this way...she won't get lonely always' the princess thought then smiled. She look back to her room as she heard a knock. She went in and opened her door and saw Yosho with the food, "please come in Yosho"
Yosho put her dinner on the nearby table, "I hope you'll like your dinner"
"I thought you'll be bringing the dinner to the demon?" ayeka ask as she sit on the chair by the table and smelled the aroma of the food Yosho brought
"Tenchi see to that"
"Oh" Ayeka started eating, "Come on, eat with me"
"Thank you princess, but i will eat with my sister Tenchi" Then she bowed down and started walking out of the room, when she stop and look back at the princess, "Nice of you to open the balcony door, the view there is great. Ryoko choose this place specially for you actually." then she smiled and continue walking. The princess continue eating her dinner.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayeka is walking along one of the Juraian border, she was happy to be able to walk without anyone coming her way and pay their respect, for once she felt as normal as anybody. Careless of those surrounding her. 'perhaps they really don't know me here' the princess thought to herself, but then after a while the princess notice one peculiar thing, the people around her is not moving. It's either they really are not moving or she is just so fast she could see everyone still.
She stop as she saw a girl, about her age lying on a grass, humming a tune. She listened carefully, tho there was no words, the sound is beautiful and relaxing, then she found herself walking towards the girl...
She look down at the girl lying on the grass, her eyes close. She could see her cyan hair, very beautiful cyan hair, tied in a single pony tail. She have her legs cross, and her arms tucked under her head
"Hi" greet Ayeka as she was not able to contain her feeling anymore
The girl did not said anything, instead she opened her eyes. And to the princess surprised, she saw the most beautiful amber eyes she have ever seen, cat like, that the moment she looks at her, its as if she is being hypnotized. The girl smiled at her, and two little fangs showed on the side of her lips. Ayeka thought for the first time she felt as if everything in her melted in those gaze
"Your lonely isn't it?" The amber eyed girl ask Ayeka
"I am...i am trap in this place...you know...." Ayeka saw the girl extend her arms toward her
"I am here. You don't have to be alone anymore" she said
Ayeka saw her arms inviting, as if this is what she really needs, she kneel before the girl and took her hand, She lay down beside the girl,as the amber eye girl wrap her arm around the princess, "You'll never be alone princess, i'm always watching you" the amber eye whispers to the princess, and the princess fell asleep in those comforting arms.
