Obedient Daughter -9

3rd Person POV

It was other day in school and 3 months have passed since Rose started talking with Erica about the novels. It seems that Erica has forgotten about bullying her so now when they meet, they just chat about the novels. The capture targets seem to have been used to seeing Erica with Rose so now when Rose is together with the capture targets, they greet Erica and she now starts talking with Rose.

Erica then headed to the music room and saw a familiar silky jet black hair, she then went near it and saw Hades sleeping at the couch near the open window. It was quite warm today with a wonderful cool breeze blowing the silky curtains. She then sighed and went over to Hades. He suddenly grabbed her hand and made her rest on top of him. Her face went red as Hades eyes open and smirked evily.

"Hello my darling Ice Queen~" He purred as he reaches for the hair on her face and tucked it in her ear. Her mouth was slightly open, like trying to speak but couldn't for her mind is blank. He then caressed her hair and smiled like he won a prize.

"It would be prettier if it was black again." He muttered. Erica stared at him in question and finally realized the situation she was in and was about to stand away from him but he pulled her forward with her hand, there faces inches away from each other. Erica blushed brightly like a tomato and looked away from him. Hades smirked and whispered into her ears, "Would you like to be my bride?" Erica then looked at him, confused, then another person coughed loudly.

"Erica, what are you doing?" He asked. His golden silky hair blowing from the wind as he stared at Hades with his aquamarine blue eyes with anger.

"P-prince Christopher, my love, it's not what it looks like! He just pushed me on top of him, I was about to leave-" She explained to him but was stopped by Prince Christopher by raising his hand. Hades sighed and let go of Erica and walked to the door, waving his hand good bye.

"Sigh. You really shouldn't be near that guy. There might be weird rumors going around." He warns her as he jumped from the window inside the music room.

"Oh there is. Lots of ships going around actually." Erica grumbled under her breath so Prince Christopher wouldn't hear it. She then sat straight in the couch as Prince Christopher sat beside her.

"I see that you have gotten along with Rose." Prince Christopher started.

"Yes. She is quite enjoyable to be around. I can see why she has a lot of friends." Erica answered. Feeling weird talking to him about another girl even though they're engaged.

"Anyway, I better get going. It's after school and I need to go home. Good bye, Prince Christopher." She then bowed and was about to leave but Prince Christopher's hand suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her close to her. She was now sitting on top of him.

"You haven't really remembered anything have you?" He questions at her.

"Of course I have, my love. I know that I'll forever be you fiancée and you'll forever be mine." Erica says sweetly as she intertwines his hand to her's.

"I doubt you actually remembered. You used to call me darling, you also used to stalk me everywhere and bully people near me. But you only call me 'my love' and you don't stalk me at all and you only bully Rose. I know you haven't regained your memories." Erica then fiddled with his hands as he spoke but stopped once she registered what he said.

"I just think that my love sounds better, and I have been busy practicing cooking and sewing and Rose seems to be near you the most, that's why I only bully her." She reasoned as she looked at him determindly. But she can't help but bit her lower lips and want to look away.

"Your such a really terrible liar." He laughed as he covered his face with his hand. "I know that you have finished learning cooking and sewing, and there were a lot of girls close to me. I have my people stalk you as well and I have found out that you have been going to a store for commoners and even eating commoner food. You can't lie to me." He smiled.

And there is where Erica realized that her plan is failing. As she was about to speak and try to reason him out, her screen/phone started to ring. "Hello?"

"Miss, where are you?" Kent asked.

"I'm still at school. I'm leaving right now." I then pulled my hand of him and ran away to my classroom.

"Okay. I'll be waiting for you at the car." He then hanged up and Erica put away her phone and put it in her pocket. She then grabbed her bag from her classroom, ignoring the teacher and the student, kissing and ran quickly to the gates.

She gasped for air, "I'm here!" She says as she gasps for more air. Her bodyguard, Kent sighed and opened the door for her and she then sitted herself comfortably on her sit as her heart has calmed down. "Should excercise more." She then grabbed her pocket notebook and wrote it down.

Someone then opened the door and she looked at who it was and saw the silky golden hair and aquamarine eyes. He then smiled at her as he sat beside her. "Hello, darling~" he whispered in her ears. Erica just gave up and leaned her head on his shoulder. She can feel his chest rising and falling.

"What are you doing here, darling?" Erica asked him. She then pulled out another pocket notebook and looked at the events if anything were to happen today. There was one. 'The accidental almost kissed.'

"I was just thinking of going with you today."

'What have I done? I seem to have caught his interest once again. I must make him hate me!' Erica thought as she bit her lower lip and looked out the window to see the same buildings they always pass through when going home.

"Aww, so sweet of you!" Erica says as she caressed his arm and continued to look outside. We then arrived at the mansion and there a familiar silhoutte of a man in his 30's was standing outside, waiting for the car.

As they arrived and parked their car, Kent opened the door and came out Erica holding prince Christopher's arm near her chest.

"Ah! There you are, Erica!" He then looked at the arm she's holding and saw the prince. "Hello there as well your highness. Why don't we come inside and have dinner?" He invited them.

"Thank you. I would love to eat dinner with all of you." He nodded as Erica's father then head inside as they both followed him to the dining room. They then sat and saw that everyone is present, her mother, brother and father.

"What's this? Everyone is present. How wonderful!" Erica smiled, but it didn't meet her eyes. She wanted to eat in her room.

"Well then, let's eat, shall we?" Erica's father said and a lots of maids then entered carrying our food and began distributing it gently on the table. They then ate the food elegantly and had some small talks here and there. As they almost finished their supper, a sudden ring broke the quiet atmosphere. Prince Christopher then grabbed his phone and excused himself from the table.

He went back and said that he had to leave since it was urgent and they said goodbye as one of our driver's drove him to his castle.

"My, my Erica! I'm glad your getting along with the prince!" Her father suddenly spoke as Erica finished her dinner.

"Of course! His my fiancé after all. I must get along with him."

"Very good. I have been hearing rumors you know, that a commoner's daughter has been getting near his highness."

"Ah yes, Rose Thorns. I've been stopping her, so no need to worry."

"Good. You better make sure he doesn't make him fall in love with her. Commoners are like that. Flirting with the prince to have power." Suddenly, the temperature around the room dropped. "Dear, our Erica already knows it. Please stop using your ice powers. She's traumatized enough." My mother suddenly spoke. The temperature then return normal as mother smile at Erica warmly.

'Erica's dad's ice powers traumatized her?'

"But do know, Erica- don't disappoint us. We are nobles, everything else besides the royals are beneath us." Her mother warned.

"Do whatever it takes to stop that commoner from getting near the prince." Her father snarled.

She then nodded and felt a déja vu. She then went into my room and relax down on my bed. 'I recalled my past life father, always wants me to be perfect and above everyone alse. I always have to be top in my grades or my father will punish me. That's why I'm so smart.'

She then stretched her arms and listen to some calming music. She then turned it off and look at the mirror. A person with long pastel violet hair with lots of tiny drills, sharp amethyst eyes, snow colored skin, pink colored lips, wearing a white school uniform is reflected in the mirror.

'That's not me. I want to go home. No. I need to go home' She thought.

She then ordered a maid to prepare a reservation to go to a hair salon for tomorrow since it's the weekend. She then went to her bed and laid down, the moon seeping through her window the wind blowing the trees, making them dance with the wind.

***************

She then quickly took a bath and changed into a royal blue dress, flowing down and stops at her knees, where below her breast a small inch belt with giant gems as the only design can be seen. She then paired it with a white thigh high socks,black high heel shoes.

She then went inside the car and leaned on her arm as she stared out the window as the car started to move. It was a wonderful day for her, a sky where the sun is hiding in the clouds and the breeze was cool and not strong but perfect enough for her to not get sweaty. She then looked out the street filled with a few cars, and nobles and commoners walking down the road. She then spotted a silver hair child being dragged into a dark alleyway and immediatly ordered to stop the car. She would have not stopped and ignore it but silently feel guilty, but what caught her attention was that a child had silver fox ears and a tail.

"Stop the car!" She shouted quickly. It stops and she quickly walk as elegantly as she could to the alley way where she saw the silver haired child was dragged into. She then saw a tall man with brown hair, wearing commoner clothes, kicking the bruised silver haired child.

"I order you to stop!" She yelled at the fat man. He then turned around and sneered.

"Why should I?"

"Because your hurting the child!" She answered once again, narrowing her eyes. The man suddenly widen his eyes and run away. A huge shadow behind her crept up to her and flick his finger on her forehead lightly.

"Why did you run off like that! I can't protect you if you keep on running away from me!" Kent says, he then started talking about him protecting her and how hard it is to have him protecting her. She then remembered the fox child and made Kent shut up.

"Kent! Shhh!" She then turned to the child, and saw it crying silently. "Are you okay? I'm nice!" The child turned to look at Erica, it's cute, teary eyes reflecting her appearance she frowned when the child didn't went near her and just hugged his knees.

"It's a fox kin. Why did you ran here?" Kent asked.

"It has fox ears! I can't help but be attracted to cute things!" Erica smiled. She then walked near to the child and it flinched.

"Y-you won't hurt me?" It spoke. She nodded and approached the cild and hugged her and started carressing her head, restraining herself from touching the ears.

"I won't. What's your name?" Erica asked as she stopped hugging him and looked him in the eyes and smiled.

"Takeo Yusahiro, my last name's Takeo, and my first name is Yusahiro." He smiled brightly.

"Well then, Takeo-kun, I was going to the salon today but it seems that were going to have to change plans." Erica says as she stood up and dusted off the dust from her dress.

"Im so sorry. I didn't mean to ruin your plans."

"It's alright. Come on. Im taking you with me now." She then reached out her arm to him.

"Where are you taking me?" He asks, hesitating to go with her. He has been traumatized for years. Trusting strangers has lead him to suffer a lot. Can she really be trusted? Her smiles so pure and bright that you can't tell if she's acting or that's actually real, and her eyes, her sharp amethyst eyes that held so many secrets. Her eyes that was the same as the child's own eyes, she had suffered, but they had not suffered through the same suffering. He hesitates but decides to trust someone one last time.

He reached out to grab her hand and smiled. "Im freeing you from your suffering. Let's go!" She ushered. Kent, her bodyguard sighed and went ahead to check for any suspicious people nearby, checking left and right, on top of buildings and such. Erica just smiled happily as she lead the boy to the car, humming a song not from their world but as the boy listened to the humming sound, it soothes his heart and smiled as well.

They then sat on the seat as Kent then sat beside the driver and informed him of what happened. The driver just laughed as they continued to the salon. They went an hour early so it was fine. As they continued to the hair salon, Erica began introducing herself.

"I'm Erica Jane Bon Teligent. The man earlier was my bodyguard, Kent. Just call him sir Kent or mister Kent. I like to make him suffer." She smiled as she carress Takeo's head. The boy nodded ignoring the last part as he smiled at Erica.

"Your a boy right?" She asked.

"Yes. My hair grew longer that's why I looked like a girl." He says as he clutched his long silver hair that reaches his elbows.

"I kinda like it." Erica says as she used her spare hair tie and tied it into a long ponytail. "I used to see anime characters with long hair tied into this hairstyle. Do you like it?" She then grabbed her small mirror on her bag and showed Takeo his new hairstyle. His long silver hair was tied into a low ponytail making him look kinda manly even though he looks like a child.

"I like it!" He smiled. He wasn't used to having his hair tied but he felt happy that someone like his long hair in an innocent way. He would keep that hair style forever.

"We have arrived." Kent said as he opened the car door. She then elegantly walked outside and reached out her hand to Takeo. He didn't hesitate this time and grabbed her hand as they walk in together to the salon.

"Hello, Im Michelle! I am assigned to assist you today. Please follow me to your room." A lady that looked likes in her twenty's, with bright scarlet red hair tied into a bun greeted her, her usual work smile brighter today. "Hello again, Michelle! Why are you so happy today?" Erica questioned as they walk to the private room.

"Oh nothing! I just am so happy that my daughter is living her life to it's fullest!" She says as she smiled more thinking of her daughter. She's actually already 30 and has a daughter on the same age as Erica.

"I didn't know you had a daughter!" Erica said as she sat at her chair as Michelle giggled while preparing her tools. Kent, and Takeo just followed them and sat at the spare seats, placed on the room.

"I may look young but I got a daughter all right! A single mom!" She proudly proclaimed. "So what hairstyle do you want to have?"

"I want it to cut shorter and straight please. I want you too cut it into a 'V' shape."

"Okay!" Michelled brightly smiled and began working as she hummed a song in this world. It was familiar but it was diffrent. Like old songs in the very far past. It was warm and as Erica listened to it, she become a little sleepy from the pleasent sound and how her hair is gently cut down. As Erica closed her eyes she quickly opened them and widened her eyes.

"What's your child's name?" Erica asks.

"Her name's Rose." She answers.

"Your last name was Thorn, right?"

"Yes? Why?" She questions, wondering if she has forgotten her name.

"I was just curious. She goes to Crescent Moon Academy, right?" Erica asks once again.

"Yup! You go there right? Are you guys classmates? Ooh! That's so cute! Aw! Too be young again!" She smiled even brighter as she continued to cut Erica's hair.

"So who's the fox kin with you? You know that these kinds are being hated against society right. I think they are having a war." She says as she looks at Takeo. Takeo heared and looks down at his feet and bit his lower lip silently.

"I know. But, I just can't help it! Look at those droopy ears!" Erica smiled trying not to move a lot to not ruin her hair. Takeo heard it again and his ears rose back up again. She smiled happily at how his ears move with what he's feeling.

"I guess."

She then finished and Erica smiled happily at her new hairstyle. The edge of the 'V' styled hair stops at elbow length and her hair was straight and not curly anymore, it looked like mini tornadoes. She then smiled and felt like she almost saw her past self with the same hairstyle but her hair was black as midnight with no stars, just infinite darkness.

"Can you cut his hair too?" Erica asked Michelle as she pointed at Takeo. His hair is long but it is dirty, untidy, and needs of a hair cut.

"For you, I would do it! He kinda looks like a girl!" She then gestured him to come sit where Erica sat and he followed. She then removed the hair tie and started to comb it. Careful not to accidentally touch his silver ears and tail.

She finished and the results were amazing. His hair that looked dirty and looked old, shined brightly as the light reflected from his shiny hair. He then smiled as Michelle tied his hair into a low ponytail and smiled happily.

"Are you sure you don't want your ears and tail to be cleaned?" Erica asks. Looking at his dirty tail and ears.

"They are sensitive, so i'll just clean them on my own. Don't worry." He smiled. Erica then nodded and payed Michelle and left to go shopping for clothes for Takeo.
