Arigato Gazaimasu! Oh, and I forgot to put the full summary in the last chapter so let me do that now. Summary: Mikan Sakura is a princess whose been trapped in her own kingdom ever since she was born. She dreams of exploring the world and making friends but that's never happened before. One day she has enough and runs away, she then liberates other people who have the same problem she has. Mikan Sakura is, the Royal Kidnapper.

So without further ado, here's chapter two!

Royal Kidnapper Chapter Two: Suspicions

Our sweet princess was still asleep when the smell of hot water, fresh plants, smoke, and cold air filled the small house. Now to us normal humans this smell is strange and bland but to Alices in the Elemental Kingdom this is the most beautiful and appetizing smell ever to be smelled. Why? We'll never know. The sweet scent came to Mikan's nose and she drooled signaling the smell was indeed tasteful. Her brown orbs slowly came open as she surveyed the room. She was on the second floor, there was no rugs just wood floors. The window was wide open revealing the bright light. Mikan wondered why she hadn't woken up to the blinding light that was shining right on her bed, she shrugged it off.

She yawned then hopped out of bed only to trip on a bag that she could have sworn wasn't there last night. Fully awake she looks at the room once again. It wasn't a bag more like bags, curiosity taking over she looks inside to find her stuff. 'I could have sworn I left this in the forest' Mikan thought confused. Shrugging it off once again she grabs some clothes and heads to the bathroom. When she comes out she's wearing a light orange Yukata (Summer Kimono) that reaches four inches above her knees and the thing that ties around her waist (can someone please tell me what that's called) was dark orange and she wore white knee high boots lastly her hair was in a half ponytail. It may seem a little much for a normal day but people in the Elemental Kingdom often wear this kind of clothing. They don't have much of a dress code but that doesn't mean they can wear just anything.

Once again the sweet (or strange) scent came to Mikan's nose. She followed it all the way to the kitchen on the first floor only to find Destiny cooking. Her wavy elbow length blond hair was put into a high ponytail so no strands will be in the food. She wore a Yukata like Mikan's but it was dark blue and the strap (That's what I'm calling it until I find out the real name) was yellow. She too wore white knee high boots, mainly because white goes with everything. Her eyes were green so anything could happen. "Good Morning" Mikan greets

"More like Afternoon" Destiny laughs as she corrects the princess and puts something that looks like salad on the table along with a glass of water. "I like your Yukata Princess, it matches your tattoo." She sits down at the table and Mikan does the same.

"Arigato Destiny-chan yours is really cute as well. So what's for breakfast or lunch?" Mikan looked at what was on the table. It was a bunch of plants such as white perennials, red roses, pink tulips, and blue forget-me-nots rinsed off in cold water. The beverage was hot water with charred charcoal in the bottom of the glass. People in this kingdom were strange. Their most common food dishes were mixes of the four elements like this one, the charcoal was burned to a crisp signaling fire, the plants symbolized Earth, and the water is (duh) water. Since you can't really put air into food unless you have the Wind or Elemental Alice the windows were open welcoming the breeze.

"Eremento Mix" Destiny replied and she needed to say no more Mikan and Destiny were both born in this Kingdom and know everything about it (history wise for Mikan) and Eremento Mix was apart of the history. Unlike the other territories this one has a thing for mixing things together call it a mixing fetish if you will. Or a burning fetish or a drowning fetish or a burying fetish or a too much air fetish. Let's just sum it up and say the Elementals are a bunch of coo-coo birds. But I'm getting off track, the way this salad works is that you get fresh plants and put them in a bowl there was also charcoal crumbs on the bottom.

Mikan used her Alice once again to make her and Destiny some wooden spoons. What are they going to do with it you ask? They're going to grind the plants into, well, a much smaller version of the original ones. Translation: They're going to beat it until it's almost mush. What? You didn't think they were going to eat raw plants did you? Good lord they're not savages! When they were done it really looked like a salad now they even added some berries to the mix but only Mikan mashed it in with the plants to give it a thin, juicy, coating while Destiny just put them on top. Then they started eating (even though this is really weird I want some, strange right?)

The Princess took one more bite of her food before taking a sip of her warm charcoal water. Here's another strange thing, charcoal water is actually good for them, and it cures many sickness. Then a question popped into Mikan's head "Destiny-chan, how did my clothes get here?"

"Huh? Well I don't really know" the tattoo maker mused "I remember waking up to a knock on the door. When I opened it there was nobody there, only your bags. Do you think someone's on to us?" She was starting to get worried, to stop herself from panicking she turned her eyes grey

Mikan, oblivious to the change of eye color, took another bite of her salad and put her finger on her chin and tilted her head to the side. It was her famous 'thinking pose', "I dunno" she finally said "If someone was truly on to us then wouldn't they turn us in? Maybe they're waiting for a reward to be given, what if they put a tracker in my stuff? What if they're stalking us as we speak? What if they aren't a they at all?" Mikan started speaking out all the possibilities and Destiny had to admit the Princess had quite an imagination. Soon she started talking about aliens and ESP and that's where Destiny had to stop her.

"Princess I'm pretty sure evil frog aliens didn't probe your stuff and are now using your very clothes that you were wearing so that they'll take over your mind in your sleep and conquer the world." Even though she was in grey mode and those weren't her words she couldn't help but sweat drop at what just came out of her mouth.

"There's always a possibility." Mikan defended "Just think about it, I'm out of the heavily guarded castle –which was surprisingly easy to escape from- so that practically means I'm defenseless. As soon as I let my guard down they'll take over my mind and then forcibly take me back to the castle. Therefore the next four years of my life will be controlled more than ever. Then when the competition starts they'll win and then they'll make their appearance and make me hand over the crown so that the frogs can rule the world."

'As crazy as that sounds she has a point' Destiny thought "Well we'll just have to drop it for now but we really should be more careful from now on." She took a bite of her salad and thought 'The person has to be an Alice. This cottage is specially hidden so they have to have some sort of tracking Alice to find us. But there aren't any kind of those alices in this Kingdom. At least none that I know of. Maybe I should use the other part of my Alice.' She was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't hear Mikan yelling out her name.

"DESTINY-CHAN!" Mikan shouted which wasn't very princess like (she smiled at that fact).

"Y-Yes Princess" Destiny shuttered because Mikan's shout caught her by surprise, not to mention it was loud.

"I said, what are we going to do today, it's going to be hard to get around because a person walking around in a mask is very suspicious."

Destiny thought once again, she just woke up and her brain is already being put to work. Then a light blub in her head went off as her eyes turned dark blue "I got it!" she happily exclaimed "You can use one of my cloaks! I'm well known around the Kingdom, and I always wear a cloak. I could say you're my sister named Princess!"

Mikan wondered why Destiny didn't call her Mikan always Princess. She didn't even bother making up a fake name for her, she just used her title, then the events of last night came to her mind.

Flashback

Destiny just closed up shop and now the two are walking around "So Princess . . ." Destiny started but was soon shushed by Mikan

"Destiny-chan, don't call me Princess. People will be suspicious. Couldn't you just make up an alias and then call me Mikan when we're alone?" she said whispering

Destiny had this shocked look on her face. Her green eyes were looking at her as if she was crazy "Princess . . . I could never . . . I was raised to respect people's authorities and show respect. So even if you say its okay to call you by you're name or make you up one . . . it's strictly against my nature. My parents gave my very harsh punishments if I called them 'mommy' and 'daddy' or 'mama' and 'papa' it was 'Okaa-sama' and 'Otou-sama'. And once I addressed my senpai without the suffix in public and my parents got badly beat for not teaching me how to show respect."

Mikan was slightly surprised by what she heard but knew the reason. She figured Destiny was born in the obedience part of the Kingdom after hearing what happens when she doesn't show respect. She didn't like that place, even though she's never been there she could imagine pure hell. Once you go there, you'll never be the same. So if you were born there then you'll never change "I see . . ." Mikan said "Well I guess Princess could be qualified as a name so don't sweat it Destiny-chan."

End Flashback

"Okay then!" Mikan smiled. Once she and Destiny finished breakfast or lunch I dunno they never figured it out. They went to the village. Over her Yukata Destiny wore an ankle length dark blue hooded cloak, Mikan's cloak was dark brown. All over town the two walked but they couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was watching them.

"Destiny-chan, I thought you said people will buy it" Mikan worriedly whispered

"They did" Destiny defended "I think someone's watching us. I'm going to have to use the second part of my Alice to figure this out."

"No don't do that, you said that the second part of your Alice was extremely dangerous and unstable when used at an inappropriate time."

"But-"

"I order you not to use it. Do I make myself clear?" she said in a stern voice. Mikan doesn't like to order people but she can't risk Destiny getting hurt. She's her first friend after all.

"Hai" the tattoo maker replied she sadly but then immediately perked up "Hey Princess, did you have a pet in your castle?"

"No, why do you ask?" Destiny pointed to a near by shop. It was a pet store, the princess gasped "Are you serious?" she got a nod in reply "YAY! I didn't get to have a pet before because my parents said it gets in the way of leadership. I wonder what kind of pet I should get."

"What ever you do, do not get a Vampire Squirrel." Destiny warned "We had one as a family pet, next thing we know everyone was living in a tree." The two talked about pets up til they reached the shop. There they met a man with dark brown hair and purple eyes and a woman with dark brown hair and purple eyes. They were a few years older than the two that entered.

"Welcome to Magie Choyer! I am the owner of this store and that lump over there is my brother." The girl's hair was shoulder length and she wore a purple Yukata that ended at her ankles and the strap was white.

"Hey Soyya, I'm not a lump and I own this shop too!" The boy objected his hair was neatly cut and he was clad in a brown T-shirt and jeans.

"Let me guess, this is a family business" Mikan said

"Hai" the siblings answered

"I'm Soyya Umato, 18 years old" the girl introduced

"I'm Taka Umato, 18 as well" the boy introduced

"Twins I see. Well I'm Destiny and this is my sister Princess. We're looking for a pet."

"So you're the famous tattoo maker, I didn't know you had a sister. Then again I didn't know what you looked like so, yeah, I'll just drop it" Taka smiled "Please look at our many selections. We have your typical Elemental Kingdom pets and even some from the Technical Kingdom"

"You've been to the Technical Kingdom?" Princess asked excitedly

"Hai" Soyya answered "We just came back from there. It's really interesting over there; you won't believe what kind of technology they have over there. Even the princess is an inventor but unfortunately I didn't get to see her. Rumor has it that the princess over there is as beautiful as Princess Mikan."

Princess and Destiny twitched

"But didn't you hear?" Taka said "Princess Mikan is gone. She just disappeared, this morning there was a huge search party. They deiced to move to the woods about 10 minutes ago"

Then they breathed a sigh of relief

"Anyway" Soyya said dropping the subject "Look around, I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for." she directed her attention back to the two costumers who simply nodded in reply. The two looked around. There were baby unicorns, dragons, phoenixes, vampire squirrels, two headed dogs. As cute or interesting as they were Princess didn't really find any of them within her interest. The unicorn was cute but it bites, the dragon was friendly but it spits, the phoenix ate part of her cloak, she's already been warned about the vampire squirrels, and the two headed dog just screams trouble. She was about to give up when she felt something rubbing against her feet. Princess looks down to see a black cat.

She picks it up and looks into its lilac eyes "Kawaii!" she screams out and Taka comes to her

"So you like the BatCat huh?"

"BatCat?" she questions

Soyya walks up to the two "Hai, that is a BatCat. But I wouldn't choose that cat if I were you."

"How come?"

Taka answers this time "Well, this is no ordinary BatCat. The other bat cats," he pointed to the cages that held cats with bat wings "Can on fly. But that cat does weird things. I can't really explain but let me ask you something, how did it get out of its cage?" Mikan stared at the cat questionably then looked at the cage it was in. The cage wasn't even opened, it was closed and the cat was out.

"What are your Alices?" she suddenly asks

Soyya is confused but answers anyway "Well, I have the Teleportation Alice and Taka has the Weather Alice. Why do you ask?"

"How famous is this place?" she ignored her question and asked her own

"As small as this shop is we're really well known." Taka answers "Why do you ask?"

"So, a lot of people come here?"

"Hai" the two answer

"Where did you get this cat?"

"We found her all alone in the forest two years ago. People don't want her because they have this weird feeling around her. And the whole black cat means bad luck thing. I agree with them but I don't have the heart to throw an animal out in the streets." Soyya answers

"So you immediately thought she was a BatCat because they're very common around here?" this time the twins nod, they're really wondering where she's getting at "Well I don't believe that this is a BatCat, neither do I thing she brings bad luck. I don't feel edgy around her, I feel, like we have something in common."

"What are you getting at Princess?" Destiny asks

"This isn't a BatCat, it's a Copycat." They all gasped "Just think about it, how did she get out of the cage when it wasn't even open? Why did the costumers feel weird around her? Why does she like me so much and how come she can fly like the other BatCats? Simple, she's a Copycat"

"I see" Taka said with a smirk "Well kitty it seems you found yourself a home. And you've got a smart owner to boot."

Mikan and Destiny walked out of the shop with her new cat 'Kira' flying beside them. They also bought a flying carpet for when they want to go to other Kingdoms. The two went to sleep with smiles on they're faces, but no matter how much fun they had they couldn't shake off the feeling that they we're being watched.

"You may think you're in the clear but you've got a lot to learn Princess. You've got a lot to learn"

And done! Chapter Two is finito! I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry If I made some of you think that the royals were going to be kidnapped. Everyone just thinks they're kidnapped. So once again I'm sorry I didn't put the full summary in the first chapter. And if you're wondering why the paragraphs are so long in this story is because I'm trying to be more descriptive. But in this chapter I was simply trying to put enough facts about the Elementals in, they're really weird when you think about it. Please Review!

Happy Smiles,
