:: The Meeting ::

Kaoru's POV.

I sighed as I watched the party rage on. Today was my 'sweet' sixteenth birthday. It hasn't been sweet to me at all. I was forced to wear a dress simply because my father says. It started when I was three. My mother had died only a few months before he said "Now, Kaoru you'll have to wear a dress." I had always wondered why and by the age of ten I realized why. Mom and Dad had always wanted that perfect little daughter. Though they didn't get that. They got me and now everyday I have to wear a dress or gown. It's even gone as far as a skirt. It doesn't bother me as much as it did before though. I've realized that I am in fact one hundred percent gay.

"Hello." I heard an unfamiliar voice pierce my train of thought. I turned and saw this tall boy. He had to be around my age. "Oh, hello sir." I kindly smiled at him since I had nothing better to do. Though I noticed his features were much like my own. Same strawberry blond hair and golden eyes. "Can I help you?" I said in the most interested way I could. "I was wondering if you would like to dance." I saw him bow in the most polite way I've ever seen. "Well...I don't see why not." I got up and took his hand as he offered it to me.

'This isn't good...I can't dance!' I panicked.

"It's alright, I can't really dance well either..." I heard his voice as it seemed to flow so evenly into the summer air. "O-Oh." I couldn't help but stutter. What was he?! A mind reader? I'd have to find out about this guy. Right now I have to focus on this dance. I kind of zoned out in the middle of the dance. I was so horribly trying to remember the dancing lessons I had taken for this very occasion. I felt him suddenly lean in a bit and, I freaked. I felt my face burn with a red blush. What in the world was he doing?!

"You need to relax. Just let the music move you." He said, his breath hitting my ear.

I shivered. Why did I seem so attached to a guy whom I've never met? It's beyond me. After the dance ended he bowed again and went to walk off. "W-wait!" I half-yelled after him. He turned to me in slight confusion. "Um....uh...c-can w-we sit together for a while...?" I looked at the floor in embarrassment. I sound like a mumbling fool right now. "Sure." His face seemed to simply light up as he said that simple little world. It kinda made my stomach do back flips.

As we talked I learned so much about him! He loves spicy food which surprised me. "I love spicy food!" I couldn't help but sound like a little child on Christmas. It was hard to make friends when you're royalty. I also found out that his mother had died when he was three as well. His father was for some reason aggravated at him and sent him to a near by relative. "Oh..wow. My mother died when I was three as well." I hung my head a bit but quickly remembered that the party would be ending any minute. Then there was this loud chime from the clock tower.

"Oh...I'm sorry Kaoru I must leave! I hope to see your smiling face in the future." He grinned and got up. So I sat there, slightly heart broken. That's when I realized I didn't even know his name! Getting up to my feet as fast as this stupid dress would let me I quickly ran over to him and hung my arms around his waist. Probably not the best idea to get someone to stop but it was a one time thing. "W-what?" He stuttered and turned his head to look at me. "I...don't...know your name." I muttered. For whatever reason I began to cry. I felt his hand gently pat my head.

"My name...is Hikaru." He smiled at me and turned to face me. He took a slender finger and wiped the tears away from my eyes. "Don't cry, Kaoru. I promise I'll come back. There's nothing stopping me." He grinned and turned to leave. So I stood there, looking like an idiot. I watched him until he was fully out of sight. Then I turned and left myself. I ran up to my room after taking my shoes off and threw myself onto my bed. I felt like a cheery school girl. For once there was someone who actually cared!

I let out a sigh of relief. For once I felt happy. Normally I would be slumped over the balcony railing crying my eyes out. It was hard to explain the emptiness I felt. Though maybe, with time of course, that void could be filled. Who knew? Something inside me just made me want to scream out his name is pure glee. I moved to the end of my bed and sighed. I planned to sneak out later.

I slowly walked out of my room, only to run into the rock wall that was my father. "Kaoru, where do you think you're going?" "Downstairs, father dear." My voice sounded shrill and slightly venomous. My father blinked at me and my rude tone. "Don't use that tone with me, young lady!" My eyes widened in slight anger. "Lady?! Like hell I'm a lady! You had to lie to your whole kingdom simply because I wasn't the pretty princess you wanted!" I glared at him and received it back. I scoffed and turned. I wasn't going to deal with him.

Just when I went to enter my room he grabbed my wrist with some force. "Ow! Father, that hurts!" I whined slightly. Once I twisted my hand free it was red and sore. "You will tell no one you're secret. If you do I'll kick you into the streets you belong in."

'Good, then I could find Hikaru. I'd rather be with him.' My thoughts weren't very clear at the moment but I knew one thing. I wanted to find out more about Hikaru.

Once he let go of me I had already made a plan. If that's what his thoughts are of me could surely leave without problems.

:: x Midnight x ::

I finally found out my father was asleep. It seemed to take forever for him to drift off to sleep. I tip-toed past his room with the slightest of ease. I thought the front door would be easiest and it was. I gently closed the door and sighed at the fact there were no guards. Luckily the alarm wasn't turned on. I went to go out the door when I felt a hand cover my mouth. I panicked. I wiggled a bit but felt a sudden pain on my neck. After that all I can remember is everything going black.

:: x The Next Morning x ::

I woke up and remembered being in a strange place. So naturally I freaked. Quickly bolting up from my sitting position I looked around. "Where am I...?!" "Oh, look. She's awake!" I heard a cheery voice from across the room. Once I saw whom it was from I was confused. She looked a lot like father except well...a lady. Not to mention father's brown locks where changed with a slight red color. "Um...may I ask where I am?" The woman looked at me with a concerned look.

"Deary, we found you by the river. You were passed out on the bank with some pretty nasty bruises." "W-what?!" I glanced at my arm and saw a slur of painful bruises that seemed to line my arm. Now I was confused. Passed out at the river? I was by the gate when I remember getting attacked. All the sudden my neck hurt. "Dear, please rest. You're quite injured. Not to mention that nasty bruise on your wrist." Ah, I recalled. Father had quite a grip. W..wait. Didn't she say we? As in...more than one?

I groaned and lied back down. Hopefully the bastard who attacked me didn't end up raping me. Not that anywhere was sore other than my arms, neck, and back. I buried my head into the pillows. Suddenly I snapped my eyes open. That smell...it seems slightly familiar. "Um...excuse me miss. You said we. Does that mean someone else lives here?" "Oh, yes! I nephew Hikaru." She smiled as her sentence ended.

'H-Hikaru?! No no no! I can't be here!' I made a move to get up and run out the nearest door that led to the outside world but was held down by someone.

"Kaoru, what happened to you?!" His voice was oddly concerned. It almost felt as if his words were burning a hole into my brain. "Nn...I don't really know." I tried to say something but the proper words wouldn't come out. I'll have to find out how to sneak out of here now. If they make me stay I might end up sleeping with Hikaru. Gah! The thought gave me goosebumps.
