"Em, here! This is the next Chapter of FIW, if you haven't figured that out already- and if you want a hint to what this chapter happens to be about go and check out the ending authors note to chapter 2-"

"Noooo! REALLY!"

"For anyone that was curious the one that just yelled to the heavens was my trusty sidekick Kazahaya, and sitting beside him, since you can't see either of them, is his savour Rikuo. Now why don't you two in-"

"Who are you calling savour!" Kazahaya yells.

"Well he always shows up when you're in danger to help you so-"

*Rikuo evil grins* "Yeah, K-chan."

". . ."

"Ladies and possible gentlemen, Kazahaya is now too stunned to speak. Ri-kun would you please tell our viewers all the other stuff that they need to know."

*sighs* "Fine. . ."

"The warning is that this contains swearing, interruptions by god, and spazing by Kazahaya." *muffled yelling of indignace from K-chan in background*

"The disclaimer is that Vance here, owns none of us and that CLAMP has all rights, and that us much as she might want to keep us in her. . . closet? She knows she can't until she manages to. . . kidnap us? What the hell?"

"Yep!" I grin, "Read, review, and fangirl on!"

Narrator

And so after much discussion in between the two masterminds invitations were sent out to every person in the kingdom- especially those close to Rikuo's age. So inevitably some ended up at Kazahaya's front door- delivered by the king's footman, Domeki. And as you could probably imagine Kazahaya was not the happiest person that day- unlike most of the eligible girls in the rest of the kingdom.

Kazahaya's POV

"NOT HAPPENING!" I almost screech, moving farther back onto my bed as Kakei-san sits in a chair across from me.

"Oh, come on, Kazahaya-kun. It's not that bad."

"Yes, yes it is!" I glare at him, "I don't want to go in the first place, and I'm NOT letting those two dress me up for it."

Kakei had come up to tell me that the letters had come from the castle- three hours after we'd been shocked by loud, echoy, squealing from the royals general direction. Fai had already done his share of hysterical giggling, saying something about seeing 'Kuro-shy' and having to pick out the right outfit to impress him. Himawari had been happy with him, and she was finding this to be a great excuse to try out some of the new dresses that Fai had made for her. It was just like them to get more excited about another guy and clothes- it made me completely glad not to be related to them by blood (not that those two are related by blood, it's just the way that they act would make you think).

Now Kakei was trying to convince me to leave my room at some point in time during the next three weeks- and it honestly wasn't going too well on his part.

"Why not?" He asks cheerfully, "It'll be fun."

"Then you need a new definition of 'fun'." I hiss at him. The ball was in two weeks and if I got my way it would be Kazahaya free.

I never expected Kakei to use his 'god' card.

Kakei's face steels and he leans forward in his seat.

"You're going to the balls Kazahaya." His tone left no room for argument, but I argued anyway- a stupid decision on my part.

"No. No, I'm not." I counter against better sense.

"Yes. You. Are. I'm your 'mother' and if I say you're going then you are. I won't accept and opposition on this matter and if you continue to fight it I'm going to have Saiga come up here and drag you down the hall to your siblings and duct tape you to a chair."

Okay, so technically it was the mother card, but anyone with any common sense could tell you that the position of mother means god- or at least the overruling dictator.

My eyes go wide- like a cats as Fai likes to tease me, and shiver runs down my spine, at least I know where Fai learned to be scary.

"So are you going to castle with us Kazahaya-kun?" Kakei suddenly starts talking in a happy/cheerful voice that scares me more than his threats.

I gulp, "Yes sir."

Kakei smiles, "That's wonderful! I'll send back our RSVP's when Watanuki-kun comes in about an hour. Meanwhile, I'll tell Fai-kun that you've decided to attend. He and Himawari-chan will be so happy," Kakei gets up and walks over to the door, "Oh, and Kazahaya-kun!"

"Yes." I sigh in utter defeat.

"I'd still like it if you called me 'mother'." And with that he leaves the room.

After a minute I allow my back to hit the bed with a 'whumph', "Aggh. . ." I groan and then cover my face with my pillow.

"God damn you, Kakei!" I mutter, but it comes out as muffled jumbled words.

I think I finally manage to doze off when Fai comes into my room and bounces next to me on the bed- waking me with a start.

"Kazzzzzzzahaaaaaaaayyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaa-kuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuun~!" Fai sings and I throw my pillow at him.

"What the hell do you want Fai?" I mumble, rubbing my eyes.

"Kakei-san said that you're going to come to the balls with us!" He bounces excitedly and doesn't wait for my answer before he pulls me up and drags me down the hall into his 'studio'- really it's just an extra storage room that he converted into a place for him to sew. Saiga used it frequently as well and often helped Fai make most of his clothes.

"And I have to get a start on your new dresses!" He opens the door, "Good Saiga-san you're here!"

"Yep." The large man salutes and Fai pushes me over to him.

"If you'd be so kind as to take his measurements I'll be able to start on the clothes by the end of the day!" Fai grins and slams the door in my stunned face.

"Wait!" I cry and pull at the door, which he had thoughtfully managed to lock from the outside.

"Too late kiddo." Saiga tells me and grabs a measuring tape.

I sigh. My pride was slowly going down the drain, "Did I even have a choice to begin with? The narrator already cryptically said that I can't do anything about it. . ." I grumble under my breath.

"Yep, you're stuck like this Kazahaya. Get used to it- you can't fight fate, or your narrator!" Comes the almost booming voice of the real god above my head. I turn my head back and forth staring at the ceiling.

"Did you hear that?" I ask Saiga.

"Hmm? Hear what?" He questions.

"Great now I'm hearing things. . ." I breathe, glaring at the ceiling before turning my attention back to Saiga.

"I'm gonna' get you guys back for this." I mutter louder as I hold my arms up so Saiga can start.

"Sure, sure." Saiga grins.

Dammit. They're gonna' force me to make a fool of myself in front of most of the kingdom, and the royals no less. I might as well just shoot myself in the head and save my self from the embarrassment. Uggg. . . this is going to ruin whatever manhood I have left.

"Done kiddo." Saiga tells me and Fai unlocks the door, prancing in with his excitement.

"You can go now Kazahaya-kun!" He tells me and I bolt down the stairs- grabbing my shoes I hurriedly stick them on and open the door, almost running into Watanuki-kun who had his hand poised at the door- about to knock on it.

"He- hello Kazahaya-kun." He stutters. I mumble my own greeting and push pass him.

"Where are you going?" He calls as I hit the road.

"A WALK!" I shout back and march angerly to my unknown destination.

"I hope that you guys enjoyed that! I felt really happy after I wrote this and already have an idea for my next chapter. I was gonna' put in links to the pictures, but then decided that I'll wait until we get to those chapters. . . but I'm pretty sure that you're going to love the dresses! So in closing why don't Ri-kun and K-chan do something for us!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Kazahaya hisses.

"Why don't you guys KISS?!" I squeal.

*Kazahaya blushes and Rikuo smirks. Rikuo pulls Kazahaya close to him and gives him a quick peck on the lips.*

"WHAAA?!" Kazahya pulls away from Rikuo and storms off.

Rikuo grins and shrugs, "I don't know what he's complaining about. They write about worse on this site."

I sigh, "Yeah, but he's Kazahaya so. . . anyway, until next time!"
