Hi, it's me Blizzel! If you looked at my account lately (which I doubt you did) then you would have seen this story coming. It's one if the stories I said I was "taking to the next level" I'm still working on Partners In Crime so don't expect that anytime soon. Oh, and If you're wondering why I'm staring a new story instead of updating my other one's is because I have major writers block. Plus I'm going back to school soon so it's a little busy over here. And when I actually do start school I hope I could get a little pattern going so I don't keep you all waiting like I did with The Guardians Meet The Gang. And for those of you who don't know I updated it. Mikan's past is on the latest chapter. Anyway I'm getting off track, just be sure to read and tell me what you think ne?

Royal Kidnapper Chapter One: Escaping with Destiny

Ten Years Ago

"Mama! Papa! Look what I made!" a little girl the age of five held up a picture she drew. The girl had auburn hair and brownish olive eyes. Her hair was put up into pigtails and she wore a blue metallic sundress with a purple shall and black doll shoes. She had a hopeful smile on her face wishing that once, just once her parents would take a glace towards her.

Alas, no avail, the adults continued their work as if she wasn't there she then spoke louder.

"MAMA! PAPA! LOOK!" still, no glance. The girl was about to walk closer to them when a sudden force picked her up.

"Princess, we have lessons to attend to." It was a maid she picked the girl up and led her to her room. Sadly when the maid picked her up she made the girl drop the picture she worked so hard to make. It was a picture of her, her mom, and dad, smiling. Which was something they've never done before; the picture may not have been drawn very well seeing as the girl was still five. But she still worked hard and her work was now on the ground ready to get stepped on. With a sad face she let the maid carry her with no complaints.

Present Time

In case you're wondering, that little girl was me. Princess Mikan, a girl who only wanted to see her parents smile or take a glance towards her. They look at me now but now I wish they went back to ignoring me. My parents are greedy, they will do practically anything for money even though they are royalty. One day they got a message, there is some sort of heir competition. All of the royal heirs around the world will compete against each other; whoever wins will be crowned ruler of the world. If I were to win then my family will be rich beyond our wildest dreams.

I still remember the day, I was ten years old. Mom and Dad called me to the royal meeting room. I ran as fast as I could cause I thought I'd finally get to spend time with my family. Boy was I wrong, when I got there my parents took the first glace at me in ten years. I didn't like that look, it was a look of greed and control. Ever since then I was supposed to be prim and proper. I never swore, never got a tattoo, or anything pierced, I was never allowed outside the castle.

I am, as they say, "the perfect princess". But you've got to understand that I can't take this anymore. My parents are using me and my life is being controlled. I want to be free, I want to have friends. I, Mikan Sakura, fifteen years old and princess of the Elemental Kingdom want to branch out! I don't even know what my own kingdom looks like! Do you know how pathetic that is? The competition will be held when I'm nineteen. That's four more years of living in solitude. That's four more years of being friendless. And If I do win that competition then my life will be busy and hectic.

I say enough is enough. I am fifteen years old and the only scenery I've seen is my room. What's up with all this pink anyway? If I see one more pink thing then I'll throw up! Red is much better in my opinion, but as a prim and proper princess I have to like the color pink, I have to smile even though I feel like throwing a temper tantrum. I have to do this and I have to do that, well now I have to leave.

Which leads to now, here I am. It's midnight and I've packed all my things, that's right I'm running away. I bet you're wondering how I'll survive. That actually won't be a problem, just because I'm royalty doesn't mean I can't take care of myself. Oh and my alice will help a lot, I have the Elemental Alice, the Nullification Alice, and the Copy Alice. I've copied all the maids alices but that doesn't mean that I have every alice, just every alice in the castle.

So like I was saying I'm running away. I give up on trying to win my parent's love. I'm tired of forcing a smile on my face and I'm tired of all the greedy looks. I'm not leaving a note because I'm not planning on coming back. I'm going to explore the kingdom and travel the world hopefully I'll made friends too. This may seem a little selfish but if you were in my position then you'd understand. Good-bye fortress of solitude hello life of freedom. I'm outta here!

End POV

Mikan jumped out of the window (which was on the third floor) and landed perfectly on her two feet. She was awed by the sight. It was a full moon with clear skies the stars sparkled and so did Mikan's eyes. She decided to go through the forest so no one would see her. It was late out but you don't know who could be out at this hour. Mikan walked as far as she could, she was at the edge of the forest when she saw bright lights and heard music playing.

'Who would be up at this time of night?' she thought as she walked closer and soon had a true smile on her face. It was a festival, with paper lanterns, children, and games. People were dancing to the music, buying things Mikan didn't even know existed, and performing. It was a beautiful sight. She wanted to join but soon she remembered something, the entire kingdom has seen her face. If she were to go there like she was then who knows what would happen. Fortunately she packed back up clothes seeing as she was still in her royal gown. Unfortunately she has no mask so people will still be able to recognize her.

Mikan sighed "I guess I can't go after all. Wait a second . . . I'm so stupid! And why am I talking to myself?" Using her Elemental Alice Mikan took the bark off a tree and morphed it into a mask. Then she used her Designing Alice (she got that from one of the maids who used to be from the Special Kingdom) to turn it into a red butterfly mask. She put on an orange long sleeve shirt and blue jeans and she let her long auburn hair stay down to her waist. She walked out the forest and what she expected happened: Nothing. Everyone was busy doing their own thing. The mask didn't attract attention because most of the performers were wearing them.

She smiled when she saw the children running and playing. She would join them but she was way past the run-around-for-no-reason age so she simply walked around until she spotted a booth that was different from the others. It was a tattoo booth. The fair had lots of tattoo booths but this one had a different atmosphere around it. All the others were laced in things that were violent and scary. Things that only tough men and emo people like (no offence), not to mention all the people who were getting tattoos screamed for dear life. But this one was different, it was gentle and the people getting tattoos didn't seem effected at all.

'Maybe I should give it a shot' Mikan thought 'It seems fine, but I hear tattoos are bad and I've never been that big of a needle fan' after a few minutes of debating whether or not to go in she finally decides to give it a try. When she walked in she saw a hooded figure. All she could tell is that they had long blond hair she figured it was a woman judging by the length.

"E-Excuse me" Mikan stuttered because this was her first time talking to someone outside the castle. "W-What kind of tattoos to you have? I don't see any selections."

"You don't choose the tattoo my dear" the person stood up and remove they're hood, it was a girl and she has grey eyes "The tattoo chooses you."

"What?" Mikan was confused, who ever heard of a tattoo choosing them?

"You see, my name is Destiny and that is my Alice." She explains "I can give people destiny marks which is why I'm so famous and why my tattoos don't hurt or cause any pain."

"I see, Destiny-chan, how will my tattoo choose me? And will I get to choose where it will be?"

"Just follow me to the back room. Unfortunately you can't choose where it will be but judging by your aura it will be in an appropriate place."

Destiny led Mikan to the back room that was pure white. White floor, white wall, white chairs, honestly it was a little creepy. "Sit down" Destiny said and Mikan did so "Here's how it works. Everyone has more than one personality. My Alice extracts those personalities and puts them into picture form. They then go on this wall; the strongest personality is your tattoo. Are you ready?"

"H-Hai, but I don't have many personalities."

"Really?" Destiny raised a brow "They probably haven't revealed themselves yet Princess."

Mikan gasped "H-H-How'd?"

"No one has an aura this peaceful and innocent. Plus I can feel your venturing spirit; everyone in the Elemental Kingdom is free. But you have fire burning inside of you a fire that may be small for the time being but will grow larger when you get the freedom you've wished for. It's already slightly grown. It's an honor for me you give you a tattoo Princess" Destiny smiled "I will do anything in my power to help with your freedom, your destiny."

Mikan smiled and soon found herself glowing bright white. Then the walls and floor was all black revealing tons of tattoo designs. They filled the walls and floor so much that some were even on the ceiling. Destiny was dumbstruck; she's never seen one person with so many personalities.

Mikan just stood there in awe she wanted to scream out how cool it was but it was only her first hour of freedom. She was still "the perfect princess" and princesses don't yell out of line.

"You're . . . amazing" Destiny finally said "All of these personalities, all these faces, not only are these pictures your inner self but they're also your future. Many things lie ahead for you but for now we have to find your main personality." Mikan saw a pink crown on the floor in front of her seat. She knew it was her royal character but she didn't want it, she didn't want to be a princess. Mikan felt a tickle on her right cheek and saw all of the tattoos disappear.

"Destiny-chan, where did the tattoos go?" Mikan asked Destiny handed Mikan a mirror and she soon gasped. On her cheek was an orange cherry blossom tattoo. "What does it mean?"

"I don't know it seems your personality is your name" Destiny said. Get it? Mikan: Orange, Sakura: Cherry Blossom.

"Hn, I see. Arigato Destiny-chan. How much do I pay you?" Mikan pushed the personality thought away.

"No charge Princess." Destiny said and started to walk out the room.

"Destiny-chan, could I ask you something?" Mikan said with seriousness in her tone

"What is it Princess?" She said turning around

"W-Well, I don't have any friends and I don't know my way around the kingdom so . . ."

Destiny was surprised. Was the princess of the Elemental Kingdom just asking her to be friends? She had to stop herself from jumping in excitement. Destiny wasn't the type of person to befriend someone just because of their rank. But from what she can tell Mikan is a really good girl and who wouldn't want to be friends with royalty? "A-Are you asking me to be your friend?" she finally says

"H-Hai" Mikan blushes of embarrassment "Will you?" She said with a hopeful look

Destiny had a beyond happy expression as she hugged Mikan and said "Of course Princess!"

Mikan was so happy she hugged back "Arigato Destiny-chan! You want to go around the fair? If you're not busy with your tattoos and all."

Destiny looked up with a huge smile on her face. Which surprised Mikan because she was acting all mysterious a while ago. "No Princess, I'm not busy at all. I was just thinking of closing up shop. Just let me change." Here's another thing that surprised Mikan, she could have sworn the tattoo maker's eyes changed from light grey to dark blue. She wondered if this was a normal thing. Destiny came back from where ever she was and . . . wait I never really described her that much did I? Well let me do that now.

Destiny was about Mikan's age and had wavy elbow length blond hair and currently has dark blue eyes. Right now she was wearing a light blue halter top with a jean skirt and black knee high boots. Like the Special Kingdom the Elemental Kingdom didn't have much of a dress code. But if they were in the other Elements (ex: Water, Fire, Earth, Air) then they'd have to be careful of what they'd wear. One wrong moved there and you're dead meat. Especially in the Fire Kingdom.

Now back to the story. Destiny came back from where ever she was and Mikan was shocked! Destiny had a bunch of tattoos. Almost every inch of her pasty white skin had some sort of tattoo on them. There was one shaped like a skull and one like a heart. There was one that looked like a crystal ball and another that was a diamond. But the biggest tattoos were the ones on her arms, they were rose vines. It went from her right arm to her back to her left arm. The roses that bloomed were all different colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, black. All sorts of colors.

Destiny saw her face and explained, her eyes turned back to grey as she put on her dark blue waist length cloak. "I used to practice my Alice on myself. When you have more than one destiny mark then you can easily change personalities. It varies for many people. With some their hair changes when they're personality does, or their skin or it's unnoticeable. For me it's my eyes. My eye color changes along with my personalities. Grey is clam and mysterious, that way I don't get distracted when making the marks because when I do the consequences are dyer."

"I see" Mikan let this new information sink in. She was smart but she never knew that much about Alices or where they came from or what kinds were out there. She only knows the Alice Types and how to use hers, so seeing how other people use theirs was really interesting. "So what's your main tattoo?" Mikan asks referring to how the strongest one wins.

"The rose vines" she said while her eyes turned light green "The rose vines lets me express myself the exact way I want to. I can be happy, angry, or sad and my eye color won't change. Which in short mean that my destiny is freedom seeing as I have freedom of expression. Green is the rose vines."

"That's really cool!" Mikan said as she ran up to the tattoo maker catching her by surprise. Mikan linked arms with Destiny and smiled "You're still going to show me around right?"

'Such a quick change of subject' Destiny sweat dropped then nodded and led Mikan around the fair. They played games, shopped; it was like a dream come true for Mikan. She told Destiny all about her life and vise versa soon it was almost dawn and the festival came to an end and Destiny asked Mikan to stay over so she wouldn't have to sleep in the forest. The princess didn't want to be a bother but the tattoo maker insisted once again Mikan declined and it ended up that Destiny changed her eye color from green to red therefore dragging our favorite heroin all the way to her little cottage.

"I'm sorry Princess!" Destiny said her eyes light blue "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I just didn't want you all alone in the forest!" Mikan sat on the couch watching her friend bow in apology over and over. She had learned quite a few of Destiny's characters that night. Grey was clam and mysterious, dark blue was happy beyond all reason, green was the real her, red was aggressive, and apparently light blue was sorry and regretful.

Mikan sighed "You don't have to apologize Destiny-chan. It's just that when they find out I'm missing they're going to search the entire Kingdom. And if they find me then they'll accuse you of kidnapping. I want to stay here a little while before I start traveling which means we'll have to be on the run for a while."

Once again Destiny's eyes changed. It wasn't to grey or dark blue like Mikan was hoping, instead they were purple. She slammed her fist on the table and had a stern look in her face "Don't worry Princess! When they say we can run but we can hide they're just saying that so we won't even try! Princess they won't catch us as long as I'm alive!" Mikan soon found out that purple was determination. Destiny's eyes this time was grey, much to Mikan's relief, Destiny was just a little too much energy for Mikan to handle. "Well it's late, or should I say early? It's time to hit the hay" she said yawning and walking to the bed.

'Destiny-chan, you change personalities a little too well' Mikan sweat dropped as she watched her friend fall asleep. Mikan was on the bed adjacent to Destiny's, she smiled recalling the time she had today. Soon Mikan's eyelids got heavier and heavier as she yawned and smiled 'oyasuminasai Destiny-chan, thanks for all your help' our sweet princess fell into dream land wondering what awaits her tomorrow.

Okay so we're all done here! That was Chapter One of Royal Kidnapper. Please Review! If you don't then there's no point in me writing a second chapter. You want Mikan to meet the other royals don't you? I thought so. And one more thing. I was talking about patterns in the Author's note on the top. If you didn't read that then read it now! So if you're back from reading it here's what I have to say: I'm going to update this story on Friday's only! That doesn't mean I'm updating weekly, it just means that If I ever do update it will be on a Friday. That's all I have to say! Incase you forgot I'll tell you again: REVIEW!

Happy Smiles,

Blizzy-chan
