Not Your Adveradge Fairytale

Thanksgiving

(A/N:Well, I feel bad for not updating. FOR A WHOLE 3 MONTHS!!!!!I'm sorry, at first it was school, then it was mystic messenger, then school again. I got Jaehee's good ending and I'm glad. I lost a lot of sleep because of it. However it was worth it.. I guess? Since there has been a lot of drama in my house, I will not guarantee a lot of activity. I am SOOOo SOORrY)

       Akihiko's P.O.V

It seems like only yesterday that it was Halloween. Now, it seems that another holiday event, Thanksgiving, has taken over our kingdom once another year. Only this time, a new...guest in our family has appeared. Misaki. It seems that all she has been to us is a housemate and nothing more. She's quiet, keeps to herself in long periods of time, and just...we haven't talked to her normally. I should take this as an opportunity to do something before my older brother has the chance.

I just don't know where to start. All I know is that she loves music...and culinary arts. It's a start, but not enough. The Usami family comes every year for a party at our castle. I already was tackled by aunts, uncles, and cousins to which I REALLY don't want to converse with.

                    Misaki's P.O.V

Oh, God why me and today of all days. I'm not even good with visiting my own family on Thanksgiving. How am I suppose to handle people from a DIFFERENT family. I wore something that was only casual and wouldn't draw too much attention to myself. It was a long-sleeved turtle neck that was dark purple but had small light purple diamond shapes printed. It went as long as my thighs, but since I was self conscious, I wore black leggings and black boots to go with it.

I had talked to a few people, but it wasn't really any "deep" conversations. Just a small greeting and exchanging of names to which I might forget soon since I'm not really good with names. I walked out of the ball room and into another, hoping I could get a breather for a moment. It's just overwhelming to me right now and it did feel stuffy. I saw a tower of champagne glasses on a table that had a simple white tablecloth. I walked up to the tower and just stared. All of the glasses seemed to stare back at me based on the reflection that I was getting. It looked so transparent, as if the glass was invisible and I could reach out and feel the contents at my fingertips. With my right hand I used my finger nail to tap the glass. A small sound echoed from the vibrations and soon spread across to the rest, then the room. If it didn't feel extremely empty then, well it did now.

"Misaki!" I heard Aikawa shout behind me and heard multiple footsteps. Aikawa, who was running towards me, and both Usami's walking at a moderate pace. As Aikawa-san had latched onto my shoulder I asked "How long did it take to make this?" and pointed to the tower.

Aikawa looked at the champagne tower as well and put a finger under her chin. Well it depends, usually it takes only an hour or two, sometimes more when it depends on the event and how many people coming."

I nodded my head. "I tried to do that once when I was in college. It took my class about an hour as well to build it at least 7ft high.But this is seems to be a half taller then what I helped accomplished."

"What class did you take that provided for you to build a tower of champagne?" Asks the eldest of the two as we head back to the ballroom.

"Culinary. However the particular course we were taking was mostly on preparation in events like balls and wedding." I replied, resenting more on what to do after the party is done.

~After the party~
It seems that everyone had left in a blur. Faces remembered and names that are only but whispers now. Misaki was helping the rest of the staff because he wanted to be polite. They insisted that she rested, but it was futile, he really was too kind.

As Misaki was picking up the last chair, he felt his back shiver as a sign of something going on very close by. It was one of his powers, sensing danger at its highest peak. Tonight didn't seem the least bit harmful, but dangers always lurk in the shadows. Soon a series of loud crashes and stomps were heard in the distance. Many who were frightened frappe their plates and other objects to see what's up. A woman came to me.

"We need to hide you, this might be a threat." And started to drag me to a near closet and shoved me in. "I beg you, let us take care of it." Then closed it while locking it on the way.

The confusion and worry in Misaki's body was kicking in. He kept quiet as soon as the noises left. Misaki placed his palm on the wooden surface and listened carefully. There were slight thumps of shoes on ground and shouts of commands. This want going to end well.

"Search everywhere in the room, we need everyone captured!" A voice shouted abruptly.

Misaki

There was a little slit in the closet so I bent down and looked. The air seemed to close in on me on every waking second I waited. And waited. And waited.

I squeaked as the door opened and several men, who looked like soldiers, dispersed throughout the room. Many knocking things over in a barbaric way. A man with a patch on his right eye looked at the closet. I was done for and he knew it too. I couldn't teleport out cause I might get caught by whoever since it'll be random.

Boom. It was too late, the hinges are ripped right in front of me and I was out to see.

"Crap" I rolled my eyes. The man above grinned and yanked my hair while shouting a "Get over here!"

Meanwhile...

"I can't believe this happened! This is outrageous! Let us go and get out of my castle!" said Fuyuhiko who was very angry.

A man waved a gun in the air, smiling very cockily. "Aw, I'm sorry but I don't think that's my thing. Do you think I would just here and just leave because the-" he tapped the gun to his head "- high and mighty king asked me too."

He laughed "Pathetic."

Back to Misaki..

I was struggling as minimal as I could. I would just beat all of their butts, but now wasn't the time. I needed the right moment where all of my enemies were in the same place.

At our destination I saw Aikawa, The king, and princes were all tied to chairs and multiple men in one room. It seemed that 1000 had came and packed the ballroom. Some on the balcony and some one the floor.

"We found a little mouse hiding in a closet, General Mai!" Shouted the man behind me. Again, he had took a fist full of my hair and threw me to General Mai's feet. I groaned in pain as my body and cheek hit the tiled floor.

'Again with the hair pulling?!' I thought with utmost irritation. Above, a deep laugh hit my ears and a hand pulled my hair up to his face. His breath smelled of week old eggs, fish, and tobacco. "What a lovely little find you are. And green eyes too, such a rare thing to see in Japan."

Every vowel he said, the more the stench smelled. I cringed.

"Please, let me fully introduce myself to you. My name is Juko Mai. General Mai for short, leader of the Patch clan. My men and I were just going to conquer your little kingdom. Maybe if you behave, you can have a little spot next to me. What do you say?"

I didn't want to speak to him. I needed to wait at the right time to do what I want

"Not much of a talker, neh?" He replied. "Leave her alone, she has nothing to do with this." Said Aikawa, defending my place.

"Shut up! Bitch!" said a clan member and smacked her across the face.
