Also this takes the theme of Snow White.

Zero P.O.V

Zero sat on the steps of the palace taking a short break from cleaning them. His stepmother had once again ordered him to do the near impossible. He sighed and shook his head he would deal with it later for now he needed to finish cleaning the steps then bring the water in for diner. As he finished the last step he stood up stretching from his now sore back but continued to look down admiring his work. 'Ah, I hope this is good enough,' he thought with a small smile as he lifted the rag and near empty bucket and proceeded into the castle making sure to take the back entrance. His stepmother told him to do so, so it wouldn't look weird that the prince was cleaning the steps.

As he made his way into the kitchen he smelled a sweet aroma coming from the kitchen and he slowly headed towards it to grab a new bucket for water. "Hey, Mary. Is Shizuka here?" Zero asked with a glint of hope in his eyes. Mary shook her small head and handed him a bun meant for the banquet later. "Just don't tell," she said with a kind look in her eyes. Zero gave his biggest smile "Thanks, I owe you one," he said and grabbed the fresh bucket heading outside chewing on the bun quickly afraid someone would see him and tell Shizuka.

When he got out to the well, which he had been convinced was a wishing well as a child, he stuck the bucket on the hook and sent it down into the depths of the well. Meanwhile he had noticed a small bird on the other side of the well still holding a small portion of the bun he walked towards it with a small smile and crumbled the bread up and carefully set the crumbs by the bird, which was looking thinner then from across the well, meanwhile a prince had made his way into the garden as well and was heading towards Zero.

Zero completely unaware of the other person had started to lift the bucket out of the well with a small sigh. As the bucket was out of the well and Zero was walking back to the palace he let out a small yelp when he bumped into someone pouring the contents of the bucket all over the other person. Zero kept his head lowered his hair covering his eyes. "I'm sorry Shizuka. I'll go get a towel and pick out a new outfit then clean th-" Zero was interrupted by two fingers on his mouth.

"I'm sorry but your mistaken. I am not Shizuka and by the sounds of it I hope I never am," he said with a small smile. "I am Kaname, prince of the Night Kingdom," Kaname said with a large but false smile. Zero could see right through it. "What's with the smile? I've never seen anyone with such a sad one?" he asked edging his face closer and closer to Kaname's face. Before he knew what was happening Kaname had kissed him on the lips leaving Zero to turn away blushing madly. "What the hell was that for?" he shouted and questioned. "You didn't want me to?" Kaname asked bluntly. "No!" Zero shouted.

Shizuka sat on her throne staring at the two boys and she scowled. "How dare Zero steal Kaname from me. But it will be fine if I'm the fairest maiden in the land right Mirror?" Shizuka said with a large smile. There was a long pause. "Shizuka… you are not the fairest anymore. Zero is… I'm sorry," Mirror replied timidly. Shizuka scowled and stood up taking look graceful steps to the balcony. "Zero!" she shouted. "You and the huntsmen will go into the woods and bring back a deer for tonight got it," When Zero nodded she herself nodded approvingly. "Good," and she turned and walked away into a different corridor into the old part of the castle. When she got to the destination she banged on the old wooden door waiting for the lazy huntsman to get up. When he opened the door he gave a sleepy look. "You are to go into the woods and kill Zero," Shizuka ordered and the huntsman soon nodded and stepped out grabbing his knife and sticking it into his boot and quickly headed towards where Zero was talking to Kaname.

When he got there he gave a lazy nod to Zero and Kaname gave a helpless look at Zero. "Really it's not if we'll be separated forever," Zero said with a sigh and patted Kaname on the head and he turned and dashed after the Huntsman with a small frown almost regretting going with the huntsman. Something felt strange but he couldn't exactly place what.
