Moon Princess chapter 10

I awoke. I jumped up and looked around. I was in my- the room Torshiro let me stay in. then I remembered what had happened. Torshiro, that scum drugged my drink. I looked at my body. The clothes from the dinner were still on me. He didn’t do anything to me. Still, I can’t stay here even if it is my mother’s wish, what happened tonight could happen again. I got out of the bed and found a piece of paper and a pen. I started formulating a plan and drawing a possible escape route. Then I heard torshiro talking.1

“You moron!” he yelled angrily. I flinched thinking he was talking to me. “Why did you….” I couldn’t hear what he was saying. I bumped a vase. Torshiro reacted to the noise. I quickly turned back into my room, but Torshiro grabbed my arm. I looked at him with hateful eyes. He leaned into me. I closed my eyes for impact. Nothing happened I looked up, he was by my ear. “I didn’t drug you. My idiotic butler over there did, tell her.” He said. He glanced at me.2

“It’s true, I drugged Miss Sakura-sama’s drink, and Young master didn’t.”3

“You know what?” I said. He looked at me with worrisome eyes. “I’m leaving! I’m not here to amuse you! Let alone your birthday gift!” I yelled.4

“What?” he asked startled and confused.5

“You heard me!” I yelled as I struggled out of his grasp.6

“Sakura I never.” He said.7

“Let go of me!” I yelled. “Let go of me you scum! I’m leaving and…” I got caught off with his lips covering my mouth. He released my mouth, and started crying, while resting his head on my shoulder.8

“Please…… don’t go!” he begged. “Just stay with me for the week. I’m alone! I have barely any friends. I never see my parents and my relatives are all douches. I’m alooooone!!!!!!” he complained crying even harder. Wow… I thought. So he wanted me over so he could spend a birthday with someone he actually knows and likes. I hugged him.9

“Okay,” I said. “I’ll stay, but any more perverted stuff while I’m here and I go bye bye, you got it? As for you Mr. Butler, don’t try that stunt again, you dismissed.” The butler started and went back to work.10

“Thank you…” said Torshiro. I’m going to regret doing this, I thought to myself. I lifted Torshiros head. He stared at me wondering what I was doing. I closed my eyes and kissed him on the forehead. Torshiro was shocked and was now in a daze.11

“I’ll stay, just don’t cry anymore, you act like a child who lost his toy.” I said while I patted his head.12

“Okay,” responded Torshiro. He got off me. “I want to tell you more about me and my past.” He said as we walked back into my room. I gave Torshiro a tissue. He blew his nose and wiped away his tear.13

“Where should I begin?” he asked himself. “Oh, I know. I was born on September 6, 1993 at Emon hospital in England. I was born into a rich family, with two parents and an older brother and sister.”14

“Eh? I didn’t know you had a brother or a sister! You never talked about them!!” I interrupted. He stared at me. “Opps! I’m sorry I won’t interrupt again!” I said getting quiet again.15

“It’s ok, now where was I? my older brother and sister. Well…… my sister, died when I was still little, she was murdered by a gang of robbers, over one of my father’s projects………… she was stabbed to death by a n ng2 blade brand. She survived for a few seconds; they saw she was still alive so they slit her throat……” I cried a little, I hid it from torshiro though. “My brother didn’t like me at all. He would always take my toys and tease me. Whenever I told my parents, they asked him if that were true or not. He would respond with a no and my parents would brush it off as the right answer, ignoring me. He would scare away all the friends I managed to make at school, causing me to be lonely at school and at home. All the kids in school ignored me, and teased me, beating me up because of my brother. I hated him! Then one day I decided to ask him why he always tortured me. He responded with it was “Fun”…..” Torshiro rubbed his eyes looking sad.16

“Any way, after I entered elementary school- it got worse. My brother made me even more miserable, he spread around the school that I was a snobby rich boy…” I thought to myself, Well…. Torshiro you are a kind of snobby rich boy……. He resumed. “Everyone kept their distance once again. I confronted my brother once again and demanded that he told me why again. His answer was as cold as ice.17

“Anything you have I’ll take. Anything you want I’ll take. Anything you desire I’ll take it from you. I want to make you suffer.”18

“Fortunately, the torturing and everything disappeared when I entered the last year of middle school. My brother went on a trip to England and I haven’t seen him since, but my trouble didn’t just end with my brother, the trouble was also with my parents.” Torshiro looked at me. “You still want to hear more?” he asked me with begging eyes.19

“Yes.” I responded. He continued.20

“My parents were never home. They never attended my school’s events, and to this day don’t. They never attended my birthday, because they had work, I only saw them on my 5th, 10th, and now they’re coming for my suite 16. All of the people there were people only my parents and family knew. All the people who were at the party who said were my friends were actually people my parents paid to keep me entertained, they didn’t even like me. They were to act as replacements for my parents. Then there’s freedom, I was always locked up in the house, but my brother got to go outside and be free. I wasn’t allowed to leave the house except for school and family/ business meetings. So I’ve been alone my whole life.”21

“You have friends now right? What about the 1st and 2nd year’s student council members? Where they your friends? What about you’re Queen’s chairs?” I asked him. He took a moment of silence before responding.22

“Yes, I do have friends, but the old council members don’t associate with me very often. I made an enemy of the 2nd year council though,” he said while laughing. “And the Queen’s chairs, I used them and then tossed them out…” he stopped and looked at me. I had a horrified look on my face I got up, 23

“Never mind! I changed my mind I’m leaving!” I declared to a startled Toeshiro.24

“No! No! No! No! No! No! No! I was joking, well I did use them, and I threw them away, but that was because I never found someone to like.” He blushed. I sat back down25

“The great Sakura-sama forgives you. You may continue.” I said with a straight face. Torshiro stared terrifyingly at me before he continued.26

“When I was eight, they hired body guards for me at school, because of this I was bullied and teased every day. All the girls thought I was rotten down to the core so I couldn’t even get one girl to like me. When I was ten I had a pet hamster, then he died of old age, and do you know what my parents said? They said, “Get over it, it’s just a hamster, we’ll buy you a new one.” “For once in my life, I can make my own friends and do whatever I want. And so that’s my……..” he looked down at Sakura. She had fallen asleep.27

I was still a little conscious. “Thank you for listening.” He said as he called the maid. The maid changed me into pajamas, placed me into bed and I lost full consciousness.28
