Rima, now wearing a blue dress with the straps crossing over from her upper arm, stomped down the hall, thoroughly pissed. She came to stop in front of two maids on their break, talking to each other. They stopped talking and looked down at the short 16-year-old princess. Nobody said anything. The air was thick and awkward. Then, Rima reached up and grabbed a maid's collar in each hand. Pulling the woman toward her, she hissed, "Who, the fuck, told, that prick-slash-son of a bitch, to go, into the bathroom, I was using?" The maids shared a scared look, then both stuttered, "Th-th-the s-second." The blonde stiffened, scrunching up her eyes. Then, she let them both go and said curtly, "Thank you." Then, she continued down the hall, leaving the scared stiff maids to share a quick look before fainting against each other.


The second maid in command, Kusukusu (Didn't want to pick a last name. Too bothersome), was on her 15th break (She's lazy. Besides, being the second meant having benefits), and she was using this time to catch up on her sleep (She had to get up at 6 in the morning, and stay up until 11 at night…if she had a short shift. Long shifts meant 6AM to 3AM next day, then 3 hours sleep, and…you don't care do you?). The door to the maid's sleeping quarters flew open, slamming against the wall and waking up the girl, who fell off her bed.

"Kusukusu!" Rubbing her eye sleepily, Kusukusu yawned and asked, "Wha?" Rima growled, baring her teeth, as she picked the tiny girl up, surprising the girl fully awake.

"Ri-Rima?" The teen pulled the maid up close to her face, close enough to see her trembling, and asked, slowly and threateningly, "Why did you tell that fucking bastard that eh could come into the bathroom when I was in there?" Kusukusu chuckled nervously.

"Uh, b-because he needed the bathroom?" However, that wasn't the best answer to give.

"Well, there are 3 bathrooms in this fucking castle. You could've sent him to one of those!" she shouted, dropping the maid, albeit, onto the bed. Close to tears, Kusukusu dipped her head low and said quickly, "I am so sorry, Rima-chan! I-it won't happen again!" Rima pressed her lips together, her annoyance fading, until she nodded.

"Okay. Make sure of it." While she was walking out the maid's quarters, Kusukusu started falling asleep again, but not before she heard Rima mutter, "And this is why Amu's head maid."


Nagihiko lay on the branch, one leg swinging off the branch, as he stared up into the canopy, thinking. He sighed, and turned his head to the side, where Amu was watching him intently from the marble bench, with a bag of crisps, a bottle of cola, and a pair of binoculars. Without even turning from him, she reached into the bag and pulled out a crisp, then, pulled the cola onto her lap, twisted off the top and lifted it to her mouth, still watching him. And all done with one hand. The boy sighed again, growing annoyed at her persistent gawking. He sat up and glared down at her.

"Don't you take a break? I hear it isn't healthy to work all day without a break." Amu, unfazed by his glaring and still not taking her eyes off the boy, lowered the binoculars, grabbed a pinch of crisps and said with her mouth full, "Rima asked me to watch you, so I'm watching you. You know, so you don't sneak off and catch her at a bad, and very awkward moment again." She swallowed the food and stood, walking up to the tree.

"Besides, I don't want to take a break. I'm head maid, and I have worked all day with only one break, y'know." Groaning, Nagihiko rolled his eyes and turned, then jumped off the branch. The ferns beneath him cushioned his fall. He headed toward the door to the balcony garden, and put his hand on the door. He paused as he heard Amu ask accusingly, "Where are you going?" He glanced over his shoulder and she smirked, adding with sarcasm, "Your highness?" He sighed.

"Out." Then, he pushed open the door, and left.


Rima was marching down the hall, headed for the balcony garden, when she turned the corner and ran into someone.

"Hey, watch where you're going, you asshole!" she shouted, rubbing her head. A hand reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling it away from her head. She looked up and her eyes widened.

"Y-You! What are you doing here?!" she shouted again. Nagihiko growled quietly, trying to keep his frustration under control. He pulled the tiny girl up from the floor and, ignoring her protest, picked her up bridal style.

"H-Hey! Wh-What are you-" the boy cut her off with a quiet, "I'm taking you somewhere. Somewhere I'm sure you'll like."

~*~To be continued…~*~


OMG, where is Nagi taking her? Even I don't know!

Well, it's easy enough to guess. Kinda.

You know, I'm having a lot of fun with this story, and a lot of people seem to like it, so…

I've decided! I'm making this fic longer! Not insanely long, like 20 chapters. Just a small, round…nice number, like 5-10.

Besides, I haven't come up with a good enough conclusion yet. Need more time…and reviews *hint hint* Suggestions greatly appreciated! XD

But, to thank my reviewers so far, big thank you to ponyopwnsyou143, SpiraTheAnimeGirl, xChibinChanx, anonymous blank person (They actually didn't write in a name. Don't start thinkin' they use that name), XxXsakuraCherry-ChiXxX, THE ZEEBRA KING, and, finally, characard.

Geez…you all like this piece of shit…

Again, sorry bout the swearin' to those who have mentioned it. It's just my thing.

Rejoice, we're going to make a shitty story even shittier by making it longer! Hooray!

Angel-chan x :3
