The MASTER of STRINGS

Chapter 4

-Day of the festival-

"Yesss... finally!!!"

Today is the festival and Mizuki can't hide the excitment in her eyes. Amida and Hitoshi's stories had gotten the best of her and since then she had been waiting patiently for this special day.

"Table cloth, knife, screwers, hmm... what else? Ah... the water jug.  I almost forgot."

She collected everything they needed for the booth and was nearly finished when a knock on the door caught her attention.

"Yes? Oh Mother Amida. I was about to get dressed."

"Let me help you child."

She held out a black kimono and placed it on the mattress.  She stretched it out revealing it's exquisite design with cherry blossom flowers engraved on the hem. 

"Take off your clothes now, you don't have to be shy."

You followed, stripping your shirt and leggings leaving only your matching undies and bra.  She insisted of putting it on you, so you just gave in.  Like a doll she lifted up your arms as she fit the dress on your body.

"Oh good.  You look perfect."

She stepped back a bit to give you some space.  As you stand infront of the mirror your jaw dropped.

"My gosh, is this me?"

"Mizuki, hurry up!  We're gonna be late... Oh wow! Mizuki..."

Hitoshi was lost in words as you came out your room.  He was stunned, looking at your pretty green orbs that was highlighted by the black kimono your wearing.

"How do I look?" 

You looked conciously at yourself brushing the hem of your dress.

"Ahem..."

Amida chuckled as she stomped her staff on the floor.

"Let's get going.  We still need to set the booth before the event begins."

Time skip... at the main islands...

"Wow... lot's of people in here..."

Mizuki was busy turning her head in all directions as she watched the people gather up near the market place.  She have never been in a huge gathering before, and as night falls the crowd gets thicker.

"Mizuki, hey, we need some help."

You went back to your senses as Hitoshi called your attention.

"Oh let her be.  We can handle this together.  You go on enjoy yourself."

Amida shushed you away and you smiled widely, waving your hand on them as you get into the crowd.

"Don't stray too far!  Oh darn, she might get lost..."

"Your such a worrier Hitoshi.  Don't mind her.  She's just a kid on a woman's body.  She'll be back soon."

-------------------------------------------------------

As you made it in the middle of the crowd you saw some shops not so far. You made it there looking at the items that are new to you.  Curiousity made it's way into your system, then you started asking questions like a kid.

"What is this?"

You looked at the mask on display.  Unaware of yourself you poked it's cheeks and you lean closer to look at it.  As you are busy examining the thing one person is eyeing you from behind.
