Chapter 2 – My life or something like it Kai's P.O.V.

The bright florescent lights shone over me, blinding my vision. I slowly opened my eyes, while the sound of my father's penetrating voice rung in my ears. Sheesh could that bastard yell any louder? I cringed as I bolted upright, sending the stuff that was on my bed flying onto the carpeted floor. I looked up and found myself staring at one of the maids. This particular maid we have, she is probably one of the newest additions to my father's enslavement. The young limette girl seemed to be in her early twenties. With her long lime coloured hair tied back with a ribbon, she was sort of pretty, I guess…for a girl.

"I-I'm so sorry Prince Kai!" she stuttered, "Uh, I didn't realize you were trying to sleep!"

"Oh well, it's the middle of the afternoon, so what's another minute added to the time I'm awake" I remarked, a bit too sarcastically. I noticed her face turn pale, with the colour draining from her face in response to my rude remark, and then quietly turn to exit my room.

"Wait a sec," I waved her back "Do you know what my father was yelling about just minute ago?"

The maid twirled around, her smile broadened "Actually, I do know the answer to that, King Hiwatari was yelling at this couple that came to talk with him, Mr. and Mrs. Matsumoto I believe…about their daughter attending the ball"

Ah yes the ball, the time of my life when I have to choose a wife. The one and only person of my father's dreams, a wife for me following his expectations, some fun that'll be! Heck, this whole ball is a stupid waste of time, I don't even want to go! I don't even see the point of me deciding a wife now, even I can't get to know somebody in that short span of time, and say " Hey look at this girl I know her now, I love her and she's the girl my father wants me to marry!" Yeah, right! That's impossible, sheesh my father isn't even close to dying or is even that old yet, I bet he just wants me to be set to actually have power after he dies. Like that'll happen soon…I sighed, as I noticed I involuntarily got lost in my thoughts.

"Oh I see" I spoke up, "So you said it was the Matsumoto's my father was yelling at downstairs? Do you know his daughter's name?"

"Yes, your highness" she nodded "They're the parents of Emily Matsumoto."

"Her?" I made a face, "So she's coming too?"

"Yes," she peeked out of my room door to have a look, "I think he has agreed, since the yelling has stopped…"

"Knowing my father, I probably know why that is…" I scoffed "Thanks, uh and your name is...what again?"

"Meiko Yamako, your highness" the limette girl curtsied.

"Yes, thanks again" I nodded nonchalantly as she left, and I flopped back down on my bed. Oh great my father, what am I going to do? He is so competitive…all because of our history with the Kon family. Yes, all because our ancestors could never have peace between the Kon family and Hiwatari family, always arguing about who would be the sole possessor of the ruling power, so thanks to our good old ancestors, even now the country is split in half for each family to own, with the grudge still in tact. Personally, I find this whole mess pathetic! Anyone you ask, they think being a prince is the greatest thing in the world, hmph! Some truth that statement has to it, I'm not even allowed to do anything, I've never even met the so-called hated Kon family, I only get to see them at the ball. I'm not even allowed to leave the fucking castle! My friends? No I don't have friends, they're all liars trying to get rich off my family…freaking lechers. Hmm…well actually, I do have one best friend, Yuri…maybe you could say I love him for that, you know for sticking by me since I was young. That makes me gay, right? Sure we've kissed, but I think I'm probably bisexual because even though I'm attracted to guys, I'm also attracted to girls as well, I think…Heck, I don't know what I think anymore, my father would still want me to marry a girl, despite what I think! I sighed and rolled my eyes as I groggily crawled off my bed, and headed towards the bathroom sink located at the furthest possible corner of my colossal sized room. I lazily stood up as I approached the sink, I turned on the tap and let my fingers feel the cold water dancing against my fingertips, and then acknowledge its presence on my face as I splashed it over its dry surface. My gaze drifted towards the mirror in front of me, it's frame embroided with glittering jewels, then shift towards my reflection, I gazed in wonder not recognizing the person staring back at me. Fuck! I hate this life, my father isn't really who he really was, he was manipulated and corrupted by none other than his father, Voltaire…my grandfather. I don't even know him anymore, or my mother, if she's dead or alive I don't know! I've never seen her, only a few times when I was young. Now she's like an illusion I'm not allowed to see, I sighed heavily, as I dried my face with a towel. Hmph, from the way my father treats me, I don't even know what love is, even though I sometimes say I do. I wouldn't know it if it hit me on the head! Ooh, you can just tell I'm so anxious to go to the ball, right?…WRONG! Sheesh, that's exactly the reason I don't want to go, that and the fact that I'm just another pawn on this twisted chess board of power for my grandfather, or maybe to be more precise, a pawn of my father the next Voltaire clone. Well, they can count me out, I don't want to be like them, and I won't let them get to me that easily!

"Heh, maybe that's why I'm so cold towards everyone" I mumbled to myself "Damn, I guess that's enough time thinking about such pointless things"

I stood there in the red royal robes, which I always have to wear, not able to recall what I have to do today. Suddenly I felt a pair of hands pull me into a warm embrace.

"Kai-kun!" the voice cheerfully spoke.

Yuri! I smirked as I turned around to face the red headed teen.

"Hey you, that's Prince Kai to you!" I poked him on the shoulder.

Yuri grinned, "Ooh, ok Prince Kai-kun…I guess you want to be late for your royal school classes, which start in ten minutes…

Heh, that's Yuri for you, he's the only one I let get away with calling me Kai-kun, and because he's my best friend I tease him about calling me Prince Kai, I thought to myself, but wait a second, did he just say what I think he just did?!

"We have those classes now?" I asked, bewildered.

"Uh, yeah…now come with me now, unless you want to be late, and have Balkov get mad at us…now would be a good time to go!" he exclaimed as he grabbed my hand and started to walk out of my room, I followed him in an amused manner "How could I refuse, Yuri-kun…you look so damn sexy telling me what to do…" I whispered to him as I leaned closer and let my lips brush against the nape of his neck. I noticed a deep shade of red creep onto his beautiful face.

"Quit it Kai-kun," he giggled, "Do you have to do that now?"

"You know I can't help myself…but ok…fine," I reluctantly stopped, "But don't think I'm done with you yet…you're too irresistible! I'm so glad that you have to take these classes with me…everything would be just boring!"

Yuri smiled, with a blush still staining his cheeks "Yeah, me too…now come on, we're almost there…"

Rei's P.O.V.

I was standing in the dark alleyway behind an abandoned Ramen store in the middle of the streets of Kyoto. I stealthily put on my disguise, some of my traditional Chinese robes and I tied my hair back with my red bandanna with a ying-yang emblazed on its surface to hold my hair in place, and for the final touch I put on my black sunglasses. Heh, that's much better than my boring old royal robes, I smiled and let out a sigh, I know my parents are worried sick about me, but I'm only a few blocks away from the castle, I just needed some fresh air! Staying in that castle and not setting foot outside is too much for me, I needed some time to myself to clear my head and to be honest, being a prince isn't all it's cracked up to be…having schooling in the castle because public school attracts too much attention, and helping my father with some of his duties as king, as well as worrying about marriage and the Ishikawa's! I want to have some fun and not have a care in the world, besides life is too short to be worrying about those things. Ok, here's the plan…I just wonder the streets for a couple of hours and hang out then I'll head home! Hopefully no-one will recognize me, I smirked as I drifted out of my thoughts and back to reality, then started walking down the streets. I watched as I saw people pass me, laughing and talking with their friends, and the crowds of people ahead of me.

"Oh my gosh! Did you hear?" I heard the voice of the lavender haired girl in front of me exclaimed, "The Hiwatari's and the Kon's have their ball coming up in a week!"

I blinked, that soon already?! I curiously turned my attention back to the girls in front of me.

"I can't wait! It'll be so fun to see who each Prince chooses," the lavender girl's blue haired friend squealed.

"Yeah, and I'm one of the people who Prince Rei has to choose from!"

"Sheesh Hina, you're not the only one you know, practically every girl on this side of Japan is going…even me!"

"Well I can't help myself, Ayumi! I wish he does choose me! I've heard he's so sweet and kind…I swear he's the guy of every girls dreams!"

"Over my dead body he does! But you're right, he is the perfect guy, not to mention he looks totally kawaii in all the pictures I've seen of him"

Both the girls squealed in excitement. A light blush tinted my cheeks, soon after I quickly turned right and walked in the opposite direction of those girls.

Oh man! Those girls think I'm perfect? Sheesh, I look like a girl in my pictures with my long hair…but not that I don't like my long hair, no…it's just that I'm tired of the fact that people mistake me for a girl when it's the first time they see me, heh…I even look more like a guy when I have my hair like I have it in my disguise when I leave the castle for a few hours to have fun, I smiled as I stopped walking and stood there wondering where I was going next.

"Ha, I knew it! You're busted Rei!" the laughing voice startled me out of my thoughts. Damn, that's Max, I sighed.

"Hehe, it was so easy to take these from you too," he waved my sunglasses in my face, "Nice disguise, but it'll take more than that for me not to recognize you!"

"Shh!" I hissed, as I snatched my sunglasses from him and inconspicuously put them back on before anyone else recognized me, "Dude! Will you just shut up? You're cramping my style!"

Max burst out laughing, "And by that you mean giving you away, right?"

"Yes" I rolled my eyes "Now if you don't mind, I'll be on my way now…tell my parents I'll be back later!" I quickly tried to get past my blonde haired friend and head on my way, but was stopped by his sudden grasp at my arm.

"No, actually I do mind Prince Rei...come on you parents told me to go and find you because they're really worried about you, and they have some important things to talk with you about" Max exclaimed "Now please…let's just go back, ok?"

Ha! Probably something about the Ishikawa's, I pouted "You just had to spoil my fun, didn't you?"

"Aww, come on Rei! I didn't mean it like that...but are you coming or not?" Max asked, his grip slightly loosening on my arm.

"No…" I shook my head "I'm sorry Max, but you leave me no other choice…"

I mentally grinned at my idea, and noticed the sudden realization appear in Max's sapphire orbs, as to what I was about to do.

"Prince Rei," he gasped "You wouldn't dare!"

"Heh," I smirked, getting ready to go through with my plan, "Try me!"
