A/N: This story is a midieval fiction, and it will be a triliogy, Drawn Together being the first part. I have the whole plot in my head, it's just figuring out a few details. Most of the first part is written, but bare with me. I can be a little slow when it comes to updates. Hope you enjoy it, and even though this chapter is short and pretty unexciting, it does heat up later on.

"Where's Taichi?!"

The Yagami castle was as busy as ever, and Yagami, Taichi was nowhere to be found. King Yagami fumbled around the castle trying to find his absent son, and got extremely angry every second he could not be found.

"Somebody, find that boy!" he screamed, getting everyone's attention. After a few seconds of staring at the king, and stumbling out of their rooms, everyone jostled around the castle to find him.

Fifteen year old Kari Yagami, neatly dressed and ready for the day, slowly got out of her chambers and sighed. 'Just a typical morning in the Yagami household,' she thought. She dragged herself out of her room and walked a few feet down the partly lit hall. As she walked down, she noticed the sun was only rising and let out a sigh. Taichi had 'disappeared' yet again.

As she reached her destination, she let out a small yawn. Looking up at the decorated door, she slowly knocked and heard some movement from inside the room. When the door opened, she was met by the sweet smell of roses. Her lady-in-waiting and a few other maids and servants were rushing to get dressed and ready for work. Miyako Inoue, Kari's lady-in-waiting, looked up at the door and gave Princess Kari a weak smile.

"I guess Taichi found a new hiding spot," Miyako said with a slight sigh and tightened the straps on the back of her dress. Kari giggled and walked into the room to help Miyako get ready.

"Every time I ask him what he does in the morning, he just snorts at me and says that if he told me, it wouldn't keep everything so interesting." Miyako laughed at Kari's comment and shook her head as she finished tying the back of her dress. Kari smiled, dragged Miyako out of the Maid Chambers, and walked down the stairs to find Queen Yagami walking around gracefully, asking servants if they've seen her missing son. She looked up and saw the two girls walking down and smiled at them.

"Good Morning, darling, have you seen-"

"No," Kari interrupted her mother, already knowing the answer to the question she was going to ask. Kari smiled, and Miyako pursed her lips into a thin line, trying to hold in her laughter. Queen Yagami shook her head and looked up to the ceiling, as if praying. Kari smiled at her mother and added a quick remark:

"I'm sure father will find him. He always does, and when he does, Taichi's in major trouble…again."

Taichi's big closet, located conveniently in his chambers, was occupied. He smiled in spite of himself, and kissed Mimi's lips again. Mimi Tachikawa decided to give him a visit a little while ago, and then decided to stay. 'Another typical morning,' Taichi thought as he grinned and opened his eyes to meet Mimi's honey ones.

Both Mimi and Taichi were sprawled across the floor of Taichi's closet, Mimi on top of Taichi, and Taichi bunched securely between his wine colored rug, and Mimi. Taichi's night shirt was laying a good foot away from them, above a pile of clothes that Taichi's servants hadn't put away. Mimi had been able to take his shirt off, but managed to stop Taichi from taking any of her clothes off. She giggled and kissed his chest and then his lips, running her hands through his smooth brown hair. Taichi kissed back and wrapped his arms loosely around her waist, deepening the kiss.

Mimi pulled away quickly when she heard a loud banging on Taichi's main door. Taichi pulled her back into a kiss, but she broke it again, trying to get up. Taichi groaned.

"Mimi, the doors are locked, no one will get in," He stated as he looked up at her, supporting his body with his elbows. Mimi got a good look at his sculpted abs and bit her lip, holding the urge to get back down on the floor and finishing the job. She shook her head, ran her fingers through her cinnamon hair, trying to fix it.

"Everyone's probably looking for you, again," she stated while fixing her night gown, "we should stop loosing track of time, otherwise we'll get caught." Tai twisted his face and was about to say something but stopped when he heard his door being banged open. Mimi's eyes widened and she started to panic.

"Tai, we're done for!" she whispered with a slight squeak. Taichi put a finger to her mouth to silence her, but she made a face and pulled his finger away. He heard foot steps coming towards the closet doors and he pushed Mimi under a bunch of clothes, in the back of the closet where she would never be found. He could hear her mumble something, but ignored it.

Taichi quickly found a stack of books in the corner, and grabbed one. As he ran to the door, he slipped on a silk shirt and fell to the floor. He heard the door handle being pulled so rested on his side. He opened the book and tried to look as innocent as he could as the door completely opened.

Taichi's father looked in and was caught off guard when he found his son lying on the floor with no shirt on and a book open. Taichi looked up and smiled.

"Good morning, Father." The king glared at Taichi and crossed his arms at his chest. His navy dress robes looking darker than usual and his crown placed a little lopsided on his head.

"Why the hell are you in your closet with no shirt on, and reading a book?" He asked with a slight growl. Taichi panicked a little and looked at the floor. He could tell that Mimi wasn't moving. 'God, she's probably not even breathing,' he thought as he looked up at his father.

"Well…you see…I couldn't sleep so I thought I might as well read…" Taichi answered trying to look as if he was telling the truth. He grinned at his father, and then mentally slapped himself by making his grin look fake. The king raised an eyebrow and stared at his son.

"You never read," he stated, looking at Taichi, waiting for more answers. Taichi searched his mind for something smart to say, but his heart was beating so fast, he couldn't think properly.

"Um…I-um…well, father, you caught me," Taichi stated, finally knowing what he was going to say. Mimi's heart stopped when she heard those words escape Taichi's lips. He would never tell anyone, especially his father…would he?

"I couldn't sleep because it was very warm, so I went into my closet because it was…cooler," Taichi slapped himself mentally again. That was the stupidest thing to say. When he saw his father waiting for more information, he continued, "I also didn't feel like going to today's council meeting so I hid in here. I…pretended to read so I wouldn't look so suspicious, but you caught me, so I'll just get ready now," He ended quickly with his signature lopsided grin, getting up off the floor. King Yagami looked disapprovingly at his son, and pulled him out of the closet.

"The servants readied your bath, so go get ready." King Yagami ordered. Taichi looked meekly at him and nodded, relieved that his father believed his story.

"This is the last time I want to look for you in the morning, is that clear?" Taichi nodded again, and as his father stomped out of his room, he let out a relieved sigh.

Mimi stuck her head out of the closet door, and sighed as well.

"Maybe I'll come and visit you at night from now on," she said as she walked out of the closet and fell on his bed. She rolled over and buried her face in his pillow, taking in his scent. Taichi went over and sat by her, looking at the floor.

"I wonder how much longer we can keep this up…" He said with distress. Mimi faced him and smiled. She took his hand and pulled him onto the bed. He fell back and grumbled. Mimi giggled, and Taichi smiled at her. Her laughter could always lift his bad moods.

"Well, Prince Taichi-"

"Tai." he corrected. She made a face and kissed his nose as she rested on top of him.

"Prince Tai, I will keep up this pretense as long as it means that I can be with you. Even if I'm a maid for the rest of my life," she said and kissed him passionately. Taichi broke away and smiled at her. Sure, they're relationship was illegal, but both knew it was worth it.

Mimi sneaked out of Taichi's room when she found that no one was in the hall. She walked as fast as she could and headed towards the servants' quarters, her golden hair flowing behind her. As she opened the door to the room she shared with other maids, she sighed when only Miyako and Princess Kari were there. Kari looked up at her and smiled, but Miyako gave her an odd look that Mimi had not seen.

"Did anyone find Taichi?" Mimi asked, trying to pretend that she was looking for him like everyone else was. She scrambled to find her dress, praying to the lord that she didn't forget it in Taichi's room one day by accident. Kari nodded and sighed.

"My father found him in his closet, reading," She explained with a laugh. Miyako also chuckled while staring intently at Mimi, and Mimi tried to fake her best giggle. She sighed in relief when she found her dress, and went behind a curtain to change.

"Mimi? Did you hear the news?" Kari asked. She wasn't supposed to give information to the servants, but Kari always made an exception when she was talking with her friends. Mimi slipped into her pink and white dress- the same one Miyako was wearing- and opened the curtain. She started to tie the strings on the back when she gave a questioning look to Kari.

"No, what's going on?" Kari fidgeted with her gloves and looked up with her amber eyes.

"My father and the council are meeting today because they predict the war with the Ishida kingdom is going to last another fifteen years or so," she explained. Mimi looked at Kari with a sympathetic look as she combed her hair. Kari hated the war with a passion, and Mimi knew that. Kari was so sensitive about these kinds of topics, but Mimi knew she had a reason to worry. If the war got way out of hand, both Taichi and King Yagami would have to fight out there, in combat. Mimi looked to the ground. She and Kari could lose Taichi.

"Is there anyway to stop it from progressing any further?" Mimi asked. Miyako looked at Kari and nodded.

"Yeah, can't they sign a treaty or something?" Miyako suggested. Kari shook her head.

"Where do you think Tai gets his stubbornness from? My father refuses to surrender or sign a treaty. He wants to beat the Ishidas, and won't stop until he does." All three of them stayed silent for a while until Kari continued.

"I heard my mother and father talking about a way to make the war end faster, but I'm not sure what it is. My guess is that my father is going to suggest it to the council and see if they accept it." Mimi looked at Kari through a mirror, as she made some finishing touches to her hair.

"Well I hope they accept it. I don't want Tai to go to battle," She said, and bit her tongue, reminding herself to be careful, and quickly added, "Nor your father."

Kari and Miyako nodded, and Mimi sighed to herself. She had to watch her mouth. Taichi shouldn't be fooling around with a mere maid. If she blew their cover, then she might get kicked out of the castle, and her reputation will be tarnished forever. But what would be worse is that she would never see Taichi again. The same thing might happen if this war went on any longer.
