⠀Soft chirping of little birds and the light twinkles of wind chimes filled y/n's ears on that early Saturday morning. Her soft eyes fluttering open from the bright rays of the shimmering sunlight. Her gaze was slowly directed towards her window, the pale curtains flickering with the cool wind.
⠀⠀Her face slightly scrunched up at its brightness, her small frame turning the other way and snuggling further into the softness of her covers. All she wanted to do was sleep in, but of course that was never the plan.
⠀⠀⠀"Wake up already." A slightly deep voice stated while swinging open her bedroom door. The sudden noise caused the small girl to groan in distaste, her head lifting slightly as she glared up at him, only to pull a pillow over her head and mumble, "Get out."
⠀⠀"Not a chance." And with that being said, the sound of footsteps came closer and a sudden breeze cloaked her body. The covers that shielded her soft body was now gone, exposing her to the cool air.
⠀⠀"oh come on!" She slightly screeched, pulling herself to sit up on the mattress. Her soft pink eyes glared at him once more while lifting her knees up to her chest. Dainty arms wrapped around her legs as she began resting her head, trying to keep the fading warmth around her.
⠀⠀Seething in annoyance, she asked, "What do you want?" Only for a chuckle to leave his lips as he went and ruffled her hair. "Well", he started to say, taking a seat next to the girl and sighing lightly. "According to your father, it's time for you to go and be with your sister."
⠀⠀Her eyes began to light up as she perked up, a small squeal leaving her lips. Jumping up from her seat, she began to jump up and down on the bed with a large grin on her face. "Really!? Are you serious? I'm really going!!" She couldn't help her excitement, but what she didn't notice was the sad smile he gave her. He didn't want the innocent girl to experience the same fate, but it was against his code and contract to disobey her fathers wishes.
⠀⠀⠀"Well, what are you waiting for?" He stated lowly, getting up and walking back towards the door, his head lowering just a bit. "Get dressed and pack up, I'll be downstairs waiting for you."
⠀⠀ "Thank you so much [guy's name]!" She said while jumping down from the bed. Warm little arms embraced him from behind as she inhaled his musky scent. "You're the best.. for an overbearing loser." She said cheekily, a soft smile forming on his face.
⠀⠀⠀"Whatever kid." And with that, he departed, leaving the girl to get ready for the new life she had awaiting for her.
⠀⠀⠀ Soft and gentle hums resounded around the small bedroom as the strawberry blonde female brushed her silky locks. Her raspberry doe-like eyes were glossed over as she stared at her reflection in the lit up mirror. Her fair skin held a soft, rosy complexion while her puffy pink lips formed a pout. She looked so pretty... Just like a doll.
⠀⠀The faintest sound of a creek was made with her bedroom door– the noise causing her eyes to shift over in its direction. All movements of the small girl had stopped as she crossed her arms over her chest, the pout deepening. Her brows had furrowed as a light huff passed her lips. "It's not fair." Her soft voice spoke out in a light whine as she stared up at her elder sister, Yui, as she stood in the doorway.
⠀⠀⠀Why was this happening?
⠀ She'd slowly make her way inside the bedroom before closing and locking the door behind her, her head hanging in shame. "I know, and I'm sorry," Yui told her quietly while sheepishly rubbing her arm, her eyes stayed trained on the floorboards. She couldn't meet y/n's gaze. She knew that if she did, the overwhelming feeling of guilt and sadness would cloud her senses and take over. She didn't want to be the one to carry such burden.
⠀⠀"But why? Why can't I go with you?" The small girl released a slight whimper as a single tear rolled down her cheek, followed by countless others as her vision blurred over. She was slowly losing her big sister– her best friend. She didn't want that to happen. She wished that it wasn't happening and that it was just a horrid nightmare, but that wasn't the case. It was never the case.
⠀⠀⠀Moments before, she pleaded and begged her father to allow Yui to stay with her or if she could go with her. She desperately wanted to be with her sister and yet, he constantly denied her of her wishes, causing the girl to run off to her room with a slowly breaking heart. Pitiful.
⠀⠀Yui had given a soft sigh, walking over to the small girl and wrapping her arms around her shoulders; y/n's arms being wrapped around Yui's waist as she coughed. Yui held y/n close to her as the girl wept in her arms– Yui trying her best to soothe the crying girl as her own tears began to fall. Oh, how her heart broke, seeing her little sister in such a state.
⠀⠀⠀"It's okay, it's okay y/n. Everything's going to be fine." She told her calmly, gently squeezing her a bit.
⠀⠀⠀Y/n's cry's had finally ceased, light hiccups and sniffles being heard here and there. Slowly, they released one another from their long embrace, Yui wiping away the stray tears that adorned y/n's reddened cheeks. A small smile slowly graced y/n's lips as she eyed yui carefully.
⠀⠀⠀Promise that we'll see each other again?" She asked in a quiet tone, her voice wavering just a bit while gazing up at her with hopeful eyes.
⠀⠀⠀This caused Yui to giggle, softly smiling down at the girl as she slightly ruffled her hair before hugging her again. Her gentle voice whispering into her ear. "I can't make that promise, but I have a feeling that we just might."
⠀⠀This occurred two months ago; two very long and unruly months that left the small girl upset and lonely. But now, she won't have to feel that way.
⠀⠀As the evening sky quickly turned into dawn, the small female silently sat in the back seat of a 1985 taxi, waiting to arrive at her destination. She stared out of the tinted windows, watching the grassy fields and large trees pass by as she leaned against the cold glass while closing her soft, doe-like eyes.
⠀⠀The small girl was on her way to the Sakamaki manor, being as she was told to go there with her elder sister Yui Komori. She was overjoyed by the idea and packed her things in a heartbeat- rushing out of the doors and into the cab. She was finally going to be reunited with her best friend and lovely older sister.
⠀While the ride was silent, aside from the soft music playing from her headphones as she slowly drifted off to sleep, her hands that gripped the bottom of her skirt began to loosen with time as she relaxed. She wondered about how her life would be there and what to expect once she arrived.
"mngh..." Was the soft groan that left her lips as she tried to get a bit more comfortable within the leather seat, her mind floating in and out its dreamy state. She was almost asleep until the taxi came to a sudden screeching halt, jolting her awake.
⠀Her eyes were opened wide as a soft blush dusted her cheeks, her heart beating in a rather fast pace. She looked around at her surroundings then up at the sky, watching as it clouded over with dark grey.
⠀⠀"It's about to rain." She muttered bitterly while grabbing her things and stepping out. The taxi sped off, making the wind blow her skirt up slightly as well as ruffle her hair.
⠀⠀She stood in front of a rather large gate, her head lifting up as her eyes traced the design. "Wow..." she mumbled while pushing it open, revealing the large castle-like building behind it. She stared in amazement before feeling a sudden drop of water hitting the top of her head. More soon followed after, hitting her and the ground around as she rushed towards the door.
⠀⠀⠀ "Please be the right place." She said with a soft whine, lightly knocking on the door as the rain began to pour harder. A small whimper left her as she waited for the door to open, her dainty hand knocking once more.
⠀ The door creaked open slightly as she rushed in, looking around as she was slightly soaked. "Hello?" She asked to no one in particular as water dripped onto the tiled floors.
⠀⠀The door behind her suddenly slammed shut, startling her as she quickly turned around. "holy!" Her hand was placed over her heart while stepping back from the door, her back hitting against a hard chest.
⠀⠀"Hi there doll~" the slightly deep voice said while wrapping their arms around her waist, whispering into her ears. "You do know that trespassing is a bad thing~? Such a bad girl~."
