Chapter 1

It hurt. She couldn't stop thinking about him, no matter what she tried. Ever since he left, her heart has been hurting. She wants him to come back, but knows that he can't right now, which made her sad. It has felt lonely since he left. Should she have convinced him to stay? Should she have tried to go with him? No. She couldn't have done either. She lied back down on her bed and buried her face into her pillow, trying her hardest not to cry. From outside her room, Ricotta watched the princess. She leaned against the door and accidently opened it. Milefori looked over to see who it was; relaxing to find out it was Ricotta.

"Princess…" She asked, worried. Milefori hasn't come out of her room since Shinku left. Everybody has been worried, wondering if their princess was alright. She wasn't the only one affected by Shinku's absence. Everyone who had ties with him as well as most of the knights mourned his departure. Everything almost seemed quiet without him around. He had only left one week ago and yet it has felt like so much longer. Everyone knew they had to forget him and move on with their lives, but knowing that made it even harder.

Shinku looked out the window. He had finally gotten back and everything has returned to normal, but for some reason, he wasn't that happy. He felt sad for some reason. Was it because he missed Milefori and the others or was it because of what she said before he left. That aside, he promised to return, but could he? He was the one summoned there, was there any way for him to go there himself? Or would he have to be summoned again? He just sighed, hoping he would be able to find a way to get there by summer break. Or maybe they would call him back. Who knows? But still, he couldn't get any of them out of his mind. He had made such tight bonds in the few days he was there; it was really hard saying good bye.

"Hey!" He jumped and looked to see Rebecca looking straight at him. "What's with you? You were just spaced out all class today. Are you alright?"

"Sorry, just have a lot on my mind." He said. "But don't worry, I'm fine." He gave her a smile to reassure her.

"Are you sure you're alright?" She asked using a softer tone. He nodded. He looked back out the window, hoping to see them all soon.

2 MONTHS LATER…

Milefori couldn't sleep very well. Even though everything has returned to normal, she couldn't stop thinking about him. Every time she tries to sleep she would get awakened by the same nightmare. Where she is finally reunited with Shinku again, only for him to say he is leaving and never coming back. And when she tries to run after him, she can't catch up. No matter how much she runs, he keeps getting farther and farther away until he is finally out of sight and she is left there, crying.

"Princess." Amelita called into her room.

"Coming." Millefi called back. She got changed into her clothes and went out. Amelita began explaining to her what the schedule would be for the day, even though Millefi wasn't listening very much. She just kept thinking about the dream. The thought of Shinku leaving her for good scared her more than anything.

"Are you listening?" Amelita asked, snapping Millefi out of her trance.

"Yeah, sorry." She gave the best smile she could; she didn't want anyone to start worrying anyone. It was just for some reason or another, Shinku's absence has been more painful. Like there was something she needed from him that just couldn't wait much longer. She didn't understand the feeling at all, but it was the least of her worries at the moment. She had other duties to attend to so she has no time to be thinking about stuff like that. She took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself for the days duties.

"Come on, work…" Ricotta said, frustrated her invention wasn't working the way she had hoped. She began to gently rub the ball point pen she got from Shinku. She had developed the habit of doing that when she was deep in thought or if she got worried, upset, or nervous. She has kept it as a special treasure along with the speakers ever since Shinku left. She knew everyone missed him, especially Millefi, so she has been working on a way he can freely travel back and forth between Flonyard and where he comes from. But unfortunately, she has been unsuccessful at the moment. In frustration, she kicked the machine and walked away, still rubbing the pen.

Shinku got up in a rush, happy that summer break was finally there. Rebecca walked back to his house with him, like always and things seemed to be normal.

"See ya later, Becky." He said as they reached his house. He walked in and flopped down on his bed. He looked up at the ceiling and began to think of a way to get back to Flonyard. Just as he started thinking that, he saw a bright flash and blacked out. When he finally came to, he saw a large, object in front of him. It was just a circle sitting up top a pedestal with weird, glowing gems around the edges. It was more than 3 times the size of him and it looked dark and ominous. It was like something from a sci-fi movie come to life. It was creeping him out a little. Like all the gems were eyes and were staring at him, watching his every move. Like the moment he moved, something bad would happen. Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from behind him and he turned around, prepared for what ever was coming.

"Maybe if I… no, that won't work either." He could hear the voice mumbling to its self. He didn't know where he was, but for some reason, he had an uneasy feeling in his stomach. It was dark and he could barely see, but he could make out a small shadow of someone. As it got closer, he was able to make out the figure more. Right when it got just a few feet away, he gasped, realizing he knew who the figure belonged to.

"Ricotta?" He asked, trying to make sure he was right. The figure gasped and took a step back. "Is that you?" He took a step towards it. As his eyes began to adjust to the dark, he could see her brown eyes, her orange hair and her ears, confirming he was right.

"W-who are you?" She asked. He could tell by the way she was talking, she was scared.

"It's me, Shinku." He said. She gasped when she heard his name. She got a little closer and realized it was. She could feel her body get overwhelmed by emotions. She was happy to see him again, but confused by how he got there. Her heart was racing and she was breathing heavily. Overcome by happiness, she jumped and hugged him, her tail wagging rapidly. He responded by hugging her back as he was happy to see her as well.

"Wait a minute." He said. "How did I get here." It took him a few seconds to realize that he was in Flonyard, not in his house anymore, not in Japan anymore. "Did you summon me?" He asked her. She shook her head. "Then who did…?" He asked.

"No one summoned you…" She said. "Wait! That's impossible!" She said, shocked.

"What?" He looked at her confused.

"But it wasn't working earlier and besides that, it wasn't fully complete…" She said. "Then how?" She was getting really confused. It wasn't working earlier and it wasn't complete, so how did Shinku get there? That question began to plague her mind. He looked and noticed she was holding the pen he gave her in both her hands, rubbing it with her thumbs. He patted her head and smiled.

"Let's worry about that later." He said. "So, how is everyone." The moment he asked that, she wrapped her arms around him.

"We've all missed you so much." She said, almost crying. She nuzzled his chest affectionately, extremely happy to see him again. "Come on, I'll bet everybody will be happy to see you!" She said, tugging on his arm. He nodded and followed her back. They walked back to the castle, only to be greeted by Éclair.

"There you are, Rico." She said, only seeing Ricotta at first. "Wait, who is that?" She asked when she noticed Shinku.

"How have you been?" He greeted her. She gasped when she realized who it was. She charged him and tackled him to the ground with an affectionate embrace. It took her only a few seconds to realize she was holding him so closely and was quick to get off him, her cheeks bright red. She couldn't believe she let her emotions get the best of her. She got overwhelmed and hugged him. While she was glad she did, at the same time, she wished she hadn't. Shinku stood up and rubbed the back of his head, smiling. He didn't expect her to be that happy to see him. Ricotta and Éclair began leading him to the castle, running into a few familiar faces along the way. The people who were the most surprised were Amelita and Lorrain. They made their way through the castle and to Millefi's room.

Where are we?" He asked.

"The princess's room." Éclair told him.

"Wait here." Ricotta said before walking in alone.

"So, how did you get here?" Éclair asked when Rico left.

"I don't know myself." He said. She just shook her head and sighed. Ricotta came back out, only to take Shinku and push him in alone. "Wait." He called back, but they had already closed the doors. He looked ahead and could barely see anything. The light in there was dim, but he could make out Millefi sitting on her bed, looking at him. After a few seconds, his eyes adjusted and saw there were tears in her eyes. He began to slowly walk toward her. He got only a few feet away before she stood up and pulled him on to the bed with her. She was breathing heavily and he could feel her heart beat through her chest on to his. She looked him in the eyes, hers glistening with tears. Her hair was hanging down, not in their usual buns and her cheeks were light red, but he thought that was because she was crying. She was so happy to see him, overwhelmed with emotions that she didn't care what happened, just as long as something happened. She began to grow inpatient as they stayed there in complete silence, neither saying a word. Then, without even thinking, without even caring what might come later, she pressed her lips against his, capturing him in his first kiss.

She could feel warmth spread throughout her body as her lips touched his. She was extremely happy when she felt him kissing her back. She gasped into the kiss when she felt him force his tongue into her mouth. She moaned as it explored every inch of her mouth before dancing with her tongue. She placed a hand on the back of his head and pulled him in closer, her small breasts getting crushed against his chest.

'Holy shit!' The first words that came to Shinku's mind when Milefori pressed her lips against his. Not once would he have imagined this happening. He never would have expected her to press her soft sweet lips against his. It didn't take him long to begin kissing her back. But that simple kiss wasn't satisfying enough for him. So he forced his tongue passed her lips and into her mouth, feeling and touching every inch of it. He could feel her moaning and that only made it better. It wasn't long before both their tongues were swirling around one another, enjoying each others taste. He then felt her pull him in closer and deepen the kiss, feeling her small, petite body against his.

While their lips were only connected for about a minute, it felt like hours to them. Their lips separated, leaving a small strand of saliva between them, only for it to disappear.

"Shinku…" She finally said. "I've missed you so much. It's been so lonely without you." She rested her forehead against his and the two stared into each others eyes. "I love you so much." She nuzzled her nose against his.

"I love you too." He said, stroking her head a little, making her tail wag back and forth heavily. His heart was racing and he could feel his body heating up. He couldn't believe she just kissed him. Did she really miss him so much? Or was it something else? He looked into her eyes and noticed they were filled with lust. Like a wild animal, ready to pounce. "Are you ok, Millefi?" He asked. She didn't respond, just kept staring at him, her eyes unchanging. "Millefi!" He said, putting his hands on her shoulders. She jumped, startled, snapping her out of her trance. "Are you ok?" He asked again.

"Yeah, sorry." She said, smiling. She knew by the look on his face what happened and thought if he knew the truth, he would try to avoid her. But she couldn't have that. She needed him now more than ever. She pulled him down onto the bed and fell asleep. He just stared at her, unable to move because he didn't want to wake her up. It wasn't long before he himself was taken by sleep. The two laid there in each others arms, happily sleeping.

"What do you mean?" Éclair asked. Rico told her how Shinku probably got back to Flonyard.

"If the machine really did bring him here, then we might not be able to send him back, ever." Rico explained. "It was incomplete and needed to be complete before bringing him here. There might be a chance that it won't be able to send him back, even if I do complete it." Her tone began to get really sad. She felt guilty that her invention brought him here without any sure way back.

"So what do we do if we can't send him back?" Éclair asked. Rico just shook her head. Those words made her feel worse because she didn't know how to tell him that. "So, where is it?" She asked. Rico lead her to it and Éclair just stared at it, not knowing what she was staring at. She had never seen anything like it. It was weird but at the same time, amazing to her. "Oh no, I can't believe we left those two all alone!" She said, remembering Shinku and Millefi.

"Don't worry about them." Rico said.

"But if we leave them alone, the princess might…" She began to fade off at the thought of anything happening.

"If it happens, it happens, nothing we can do to stop her." Rico said. "Or rather we shouldn't do anything to stop her."

"I-I… I guess you're right." Éclair sighed. She was a little jealous of Millefi. She didn't like spending this time alone and was jealous Millefi had Shinku to spend it with. She looked up at the sky, wishing she had someone to spend it with. The two went back to the castle and went to sleep. It wasn't long before the whole country of Biscotti had fallen asleep. No one was out; every person and animal had fallen asleep.

Sun light began creeping in Millefi's window as the sun rose up. A ray of sunlight came in through the window and shined on Shinku's eyes. He woke up and squinted, the light nearly blinding him. He looked at Millefi; she looked so peaceful sleeping beside him. He stretched and sat up, accidently waking her up. She rubbed her eyes and looked at him.

"Did I wake you? Sorry." He told her.

"It's alright." She said, smiling. She latched herself onto him, snuggling up against him. Is it just me, or is she acting strange? He thought to himself, especially after remembering the events from last night. Not only her though. Both Éclair and Ricotta seemed a little bit happier than he expected when they saw him. He just shook it off, thinking it must have been his imagination. Millefi looked at him. She could feel strange again. Like she wanted, no, needed something from him, but knew she couldn't ask him for it. Could she? What if it made him mad? Then, she suddenly remembered the dream she had been having before he came back. She suddenly got scared. What if he left her forever? Then she would never get the chance to ask him. She knew it had to be him, but how could she tell him? How?

"Umm… Shinku…" She said, trying to find the right words to use.

"Yes?" He looked at her, waiting to hear what she was going to say.

"I-I need to tell you something…" She said. Her face was red and she was still trying to figure out what to say.

"Yes. What is it?" He just continued to look at her.

"Well, I have a question first." She said. He just stared at her, waiting. "W-w-would you…" she mumbled the rest and Shinku couldn't understand it.

"Would I what?" He asked.

"Would y-you be my m-m-m…" She kept trying to say. "My m-mate…?" She trailed off as she said that, looking away, afraid he might reject her.

"Your mate?" He asked. "What do you mean?"

"Well I… no, all of Flonyard is…" She took a deep breath. "We're all in heat… And I want you to be my mate…" She couldn't hide how flushed her face was, embarrassed that she just said that. At the same time though, she was relieved to have that off her chest. Now, she needed to wait for his response, which didn't seem to come.

"Sure… I guess." He said. She smiled the moment those words left his lips. "But, what am I supposed to do?" He asked. Her smile faded. She should have seen that coming. She sighed and explained everything to him the best she could. Once she was done she looked and saw his cheeks were bright pink. "So… that's what you want me for?" He asked, his cheeks going from pink to a darker red. She nodded. "Well, if you don't mind then sure."

"Really!" She asked, her tail wagging hopefully. He nodded. "Thank you so much!" She said, wrapping her arms around his neck and rubbing her cheek against his. "Thank you… I'm happy that it's you and not someone like last time." She just kept snuggling up to him.

"Last time?" He asked.

"Well, the first time in heat is usually when we first become teenagers." She explained. "And as a member of the royal family, we have to have a mate on our first heat. Once the mate is chosen, there is nothing we can say to protest. The one they chose for me was horrible. His manners were horrible and he had no respect for me. I was lucky enough to get out of it and hid till it was over. Since you're here and I want you to be my mate, there's nothing they can say to stop it." She gave him a light kiss. "Thank you." She said again. The two pressed their lips together and began to kiss one another passionately. They stopped after a few minutes and stared at each other in silence.

"So, are we supposed to… you know?" He asked.

"Now." She said, almost demanding. "I can't hold it in any longer. Please." He nodded. She took off the top part of her pajamas, revealing her bare breasts. Shinku admired them, they weren't too big and they weren't too small either. They were the perfect size; they fit perfectly in his hands. "Ready?" She asked. He nodded. Just seconds later, all the clothes the both of them were wearing were off and on the floor. She positioned herself above his erection. He grabbed her by the waist and rolled her on her back before thrusting in. She barely knew what was going on. All she knew was that what ever she was doing felt incredible. He just thrust into her until he released inside of her, filling her womb with his hot sperm. She looked disappointed at how quick it was over.

"Don't worry." He told her. "We'll do more tonight." She smiled and got dressed, anticipating nightfall.
