Hi! This is me again. So I promise this story will have better updates (if you were one of my previous readers) This story is very AU, I basically just took the names but I hope you like the story anyways.

I still don't own Ghost Hunt.

I once lived where the snow beats down from the heavens, in an arctic kingdom. This frozen wasteland holds a palace of ice, a place I once called home. This is the story of how that all changed...

'Only five more minutes.' I thought, counting each long second that passed, but soon my mind began to wander imagine the places I would go, far away from the cold winds that howled in the night.

"Mai quit day dreaming and sit up straight. You are the heir to the crown of Toketsu, you need to be ready to inherit the throne with pride." My governess interrupted my thoughts her face resembled an albino mouse as she continued droning on.

"Yes Miss Lehrer, I'm sorry." 'What if I don't want to be the queen ever think of that?' I shot her a death glare when her back was turned.

"We'll stop there for now…" I didn't wait for her to finish as I rushed out of the chamber and into my room. Although it could be a pain, my next class was what I lived for. Due to my mother being in poverty, both parents insisted on me going out and experiencing life as one of the people that I would come to rule. Looking into the mirror I took a second to search for any blemishes on my peachy skin while braiding my chestnut hair. I came out looking like a horseman's daughter rather than a princess. I flew down the white and blue corridors adjourned with snowflakes, and out of the castle only stopping when I reached the stables. As I walked in I saw Pagos the grey stallion that immediately began to neigh with joy when he saw me.

"Hey boy." I said while petting the wonderful horse.

"At least someone is happy to see you." I turned around to see the only person I could ever hate with a haughty smirk on his face. Somehow, the most evil stable boy to ever walk the earth ended up also being one of the most beautiful. Oliver Davis (AKA Naru) took pleasure in driving me insane, I was willing to bet that he

"I'd say the same but no one's happy when you're around" my response shut him up. His stormy ice blue eyes hardened, his coal black hair and ghostly skin worked only making him look more intimidating.

"Hey Mai." his identical twin, Gene, came out from the stall with a smile on his face and tossed me the pitchfork.

"Thanks Gene." I said heading over to the first stall and began shoveling hay. Not five minuted had passed before I heard another, very familiar, voice.

"Kaly! Kaly! Kaly!" my younger brother, Prince Kyro, ran into the stables looking for me.

"Hey there Kro." I heard Gene's ignored greeting as I walked out of the stall.

"Can you come and play with me?" he asked, his blue grey eyes stared up eagerly.

"No." everyone grew still at Naru Davis's cold voice

"Come on Naru, he just got back from a week long, diplomatic conference with the king. Let the kid play with his sister." Gene tried to negotiate.

"This concerns me why? Until father gets back next month, I'm in charge, and I say no. Besides, she just got here. Now scram Kyro, and do refrain from interrupting my stable hands." I could see poor Gene grow more and more agitated.

"It's alright Gene, you and I both know your brother is a stubborn jerk, there's no changing his mind." I said attempting to sooth him.

"I know." He sighed before re-entering his stall. Then turning to my brother behind me.

"I'm sorry Kro, maybe next time."

"Okay." He said solemnly as he turned to leave, dragging his feet on the way out. The stables fell silent at the sound of the large oak doors being shut. I felt Naru's cold eyes boring holes into my back.

"You didn't have to be so mean" I said without turning around, every word dripping with venom

"Yes, I did, otherwise he would have kept coming back."

"That was also a fabulous way to treat your prince."

"Need I remind you that your father gave my father, brother, and I distinct permission to treat your family as I would anyone else? Now get back to work, I have my own work to do and I won't have you wasting my time." He said returning to the overseer's office. I begrudgingly picked up my pitchfork and resumed my work. 'Oh well, at least I'm not forced to sit straight and learn 50 ways to hold a teacup.' Hours passed in silence, even the horses were quiet. Dusk couldn't come soon enough that day.

I pulled my coat tighter around me, trying to ready myself for the bone chilling wind.

"Hey, um, Mai?" I turned to see Gene. A slight blush colored his sharp cheekbones.

"Yeah?"

"I was wondering if… Maybe if you wanted… I could, um, that is to say if you wanted me to… that I could possibly, walk you…"

"Gene!" Naru yelled cutting him off "I need your help me polish the saddles."

"I'm sorry." He said turning back to me looking crest fallen "forget I said anything. See you tomorrow."

"See ya'." I said over my shoulder. Stepping out of the warm stables I was hit with the bitter cold wind. Not two steps in, I felt myself being pushed into a snowdrift.
