This is my first ever fanfic, so please forgive me if it's no good... XD

Chapter 1

Ikuto's POV

I looked out of the window and as usual I saw four young girls hanging out clothes to dry in the palace court-yard and, as usual, one of the girls caught my eye. Her rose pink hair glowed in the mid-afternoon sun and her honey golden eyes sparkled with joy as she laughed with her friends.

"Ikuto-sama are you listening?" My attention was reverted back to the room I was sitting in – where my teacher, Nakaidou, was staring at me intently.

"Yeah, sure – remind me though – what were you talking about?" I asked. Nakaidou sighed.

"I was talking about this maths equation Ikuto-sama – as future king..." Nakaidou started lecturing me. I glanced back outside but to my disappointment the pink-haired maid had gone.

Amu's POV

I was tired – there was a ball next month and every servant and maid had been roped in to prepare for it. I walked into the maid's changing quarters and sat down on the nearest bench exhausted. My room-mates and best friends – Ran, Miki, and Su – were already there getting changed after a long day.

"Hey Amu-chan! Worked hard?" Miki asked while brushing her dark blue hair.

"Worked to death more like," I laughed as I started getting changed.

"Amu-chan don't over-work yourself desu." Su told me sternly.

"Well it's not my fault – there's just so much to do!" I sighed.

"I think it's fun – there's a good atmosphere around around!" Ran said excitedly.

"You have so much energy!" I groaned. Ran, Miki and Su had finished getting changed so I told them to go and I'd catch up.

Walking slowly through the palace to the worker's dorms I heard a noise. It sounded like a violin. I followed the sound to a door and peaked inside. I gasped when I saw Prince Ikuto playing the violin. The song was beautiful and pure but a little sorrowful. I closed my eyes and lost myself in the music.

Suddenly it stopped and I opened my eyes to see the Prince staring at me. I did the first thing that came to my head – I ran.

Ikuto's POV

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash of pink, so I turned slightly to see the pink-haired maid listening to me play. I stopped out of shock. The girl opened her eyes slowly, saw me looking at her and then ran. I put my violin down and chased after her.

"Stop!" I shouted after her. The girl skidded to a halt reluctantly, and turned slowly. I caught up to her and she bowed.

"Tsukiyomi-sama I'm very sorry – it won't happen again," she said quietly.

"You're not in trouble. I just want to know your name," I told her. She looked up, surprised.

"It's Hinamori Amu, Your Highness," she told me.

"Amu then," I said with a smile. Amu twitched slightly.

"Please don't use my name so informally, Your Highness."

"Why?" I was confused – most girls would have fainted from excitement by now.

"Because it makes me feel uncomfortable, Tsukiyomi-sama." Amu looked at me sincerely and I blushed slightly. Suddenly I heard a voice that made my blood turn cold. Utau.

"Onii-sama? Where are you?" I grabbed Amu's hand and dragged her to a nearby room and locked the door behind us. Amu tried to stop me for some reason. I then realised that it was a bit cramped and we weren't in a room at all but a store cupboard!

Amu's POV

"Crap. Why did I have to be locked to be locked in a cupboard with the Prince of all people?" The Prince looked at me with those beautiful sapphire eyes and said:

"Are you all right? You look a bit red... Hinamori-san." I was surprised. All the people who worked with him said he was cold and dislikeable. I blushed slightly and looked at the floor.

"I'm fine," I lied – I felt hot and dizzy, also it probably didn't help that our bodies were centimetres apart.

"By the way Hinamori-san – why did try to stop me from locking the door?" The Prince asked.

"Why are you hiding from your sister?" I threw back at him. He smiled slightly but did not answer. I quickly glanced around the cupboard he locked us in. There was only a little space left with me and him in there. I leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor. The Prince put his ear against the door, smiled then looked down at me.

"What are you doing? Utau is gone now – we can leave!" He told me. I just smiled and said:

"Tsukiyomi-sama, try the lock." He looked perplexed but did what he was told. The lock wouldn't budge.

"Ah."

"That is why I tried to stop to you." He then sat down across from me – but there wasn't enough room and our legs got entangled and he fell on top of me. I gave out a yelp of surprise, but the Prince just looked at me with a smirk on his face. I felt naked under his piercing gaze, and another wave of dizziness came over me. The Prince made no move to get off me.

"So... Hinamori-san... this must be dream come true!" He said leaning closer to me and breathing on my neck. I froze as a shiver was sent down my spine. All I could do was mutter:

"Not really – I had plans tonight..." I felt his head get closer to my neck, and then I felt him lick me. My body unfroze and I pushed him away quickly. The Prince looked shocked then he laughed at me.

"You really are something, aren't you?" He smirked. I couldn't speak – my heart was beating too fast for my body to cope and I felt flustered. The dizziness was stronger than ever and then... darkness.

So... what do ya think? Please review and don't be scared to criticise me. xxx
