Recap:

"Ah…pulling out a sword? Well that won't do any good now will it?" Then a figure appeared out from the shadow.

"I shall ask again, who are you now that you have shown yourself?"

"I'm the ruler of al the seas, maker of storms, hurricanes and cyclones. I am the master of the giant sea creatures that are at bay in all the 7 seas." Then the figure stepped out of the shadow. Mikoto went wide-eyed. It can't be her! Then she continued. "I am the Sea Witch Unabara."

"Ugh…" The prince put slightly moved his sword down. Nobody has EVER defeated the sea witch Unabara. She controlled the ocean for Pete's sake! Even if you were 500 miles away from shore, she would defiantly cause a tidal wave so big it'll go 250 miles pass you!

"I see you heard of me before." Unabara spoke with her sea snake way.

Mikoto then put his sword up. Just as the princess started to even acknowledge him, Unabara came up. He (just like every other prince) liked Momo. He could not die right about now, he just couldn't.

"Why are you here you sea hag?!" The prince spoke while pointing his sword straight at her.

"Why Mikoto," The witch spoke. "To get what you're guarding," Mikoto glared at the hag. No way is she going to get it. Also, how in the hell does she know his name? The witch snaked around the Book of Peace and went right around the prince's sword. "Now Mikoto… you will die."

The eyes went yellow and the prince ran away to a pillar but the witch followed and shot an electric attack (just like an eel) from her eyes towards the prince. It hit the pillar but the prince got out of the way just in time and ran toward the book. No matter what, she could not get the book at all costs.

But this did not get unseen by Unabara. She melted down into a puddle of water and 'flowed' toward the book's hold. She formed back to her form right directly in front of Mikoto's way.

"Ah…" Damnnit! The prince thought.

"Oh come on," the witch said disappointedly. While trurling her wrist she continued. "You're not gonna play? Aw, so boring." Then suddenly she grabbed the prince's neck and tossed him across the room.

"Ugh…"

"Now…" Unabara turned to face the glass protecting the book and being a barrier between her and her hold on the book. With her nail she cut a circle in the glass. In doing so she created a large piercing screech.

"Ahhhh! No! Ah…don't!" Pleaded the prince.

The witch laughed. "The book. It's now in my possession!" She continued to laugh evilly.

Pounding was heard on the door. Unabara turned to face the door. She glided to the window but Mikoto's sword flew pass her causing her to stop. She glared at the man and went through the wall as water. The prince ran to the window to get the book, even if it were to cost him his life.

"Hmm… you bother me so. Ah," The door crashed open and soldiers rushed in. The witch smirked. "Teiku ue sono omoi" Suddenly water filled the tower but nobody drowned and it never over-filed. It was a spell.

The next day:

In the hallway the grandfather clock rang 12pm. The princess in her room was still sleeping. She was thinking or dreaming about why the sudden interest in the prince. It sort of reminded her of him. Ugh how she hated him when he…

Knock knock

"Ugh… go away!" Hinamori mumbled.

"Miss Hinamori 'mam." Said Aya as she came into the room. "Your father has requested to speak with you." Once finishing her sentence the maid pulled the sheets of the bed.

"Noooo! 3 more hours!"

30 minutes later:

"There." Said Aya.

"Ugh…" Hinamori groaned. Why oh why does she have to wear this poofy thing? This thing is dangerous! It extends like, 7ft from the actual dress! Oh my god! And her hair was put into a small bun on the top, back-ish part of the head with the rest of her long hair cascading down her back.

"Now Hinamori, you know your father wants you to be pretty." Explained Aya knowing what Momo was thinking about.

"Yea, yea." Momo waved her hand in the air. "Now where dose my father want to meet him.

"He's in the library."

Momo sighed. She then walked out of the room and went towards the library. Once in the library he father was sitting down at the desk all the way down in the back. "Father." Momo called out. Her father looked up.

"Oh," He stood. "Look how pretty you look." He ran all the way and gave Momo a hug. (Even though the dress was in the way.)

"I don't like this dress you gave me." Momo spoke.

Her father stopped hugging her and stepped back a few feet. He then looked at the dress. Up and down, up and down. "Hmm… Yeah I did go a little over-board with the dress." The king then looked at his daughter.

"A little?" Momo said with a 'No-you-didn't-go-over-board' type of tone.

"Hmm. Your right, I did go a lot over-board." The king laughed.

The princess smiled. Since her mother's death of cancer and sickness, her father has been trying to do both jobs, as a father and as a mom. Of coarse there was also the job of being king but, he does that everyday. Also of course, dad wasn't going to help her in 'girl talk' so she went to her friend Lissa. Lissa had a lot in common with herself. Both of their moms died at almost the same thing. But Lissa's mom died just because of sickness and week muscles.

"Ok, dear." The king spoke interrupting Hinamori's thoughts. "If you don't want to wear that thing again you can give it to Aya to give away."

Hinamori nodded. "Now father, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Hmm, Hinamori." He signaled his daughter to follow him. Hinamori did as told and went to her father's desk.

"Now," Started the kin as he sat down. "About Prince Carabin." He looked down and continued his paperwork.

"What about him?" Momo asked un-princess-y as people like to call it.

"Last night he was caught trying to steal the Book of Peace." Continued the father still looking down.

"What? Why would Carabin like to steal his country's most prized possession?"

"That's what we thought. But maybe he wanted to take over my country…"

"What?!" The princess yelled as she slammed her hands on the desk.

The father looked up.

Hinamori started again. "I know that Carabin would never do anything like that! Even I weren't to marry him he wouldn't want to fight us for our kingdom. I know him since you pretty much force me to hang out with him and talk to him! I know that he would never do that! You know that to! He didn't steal the book!"

The king stood and put his hands on the table to. "But the book is missing; he was seen throwing the book out the window to a group of people who ran to a ship that disappeared in the fog last night. Unless there is a guy who looks exactly like the prince and stole the book, Carabin is the only person who is going to have fingers pointed at him."

"He would never do something like that!"

"I have spoken Hinamori! I won't kill the prince but he will be forced to tell us of the location of that book! But he won't say anything. He says he doesn't know! If he doesn't tell us in a week, he will be killed even if we do have a war with his own country for killing him."

"Grr…" Momo then ran out the library and ran to her room. She has to do something, but what?"

In Momo's room:

Momo was pacing around in her room. She of course took of the dress (With no Aya help) and was now wearing what she wanted to wear. She wore a t-shirt that had a v-cut in front but it wasn't really low. She also had on capris that were the original, classic color for jeans.

What can I do to help him? Ugh! I don't even know why the sudden interest. Ahh! I'm going to pull my hair out soon! Momo thought. She then noticed she still had her hair up the same but she decided to leave it. I'm going to meet Carabin. Surely he can tell me what really happened.

Momo was walking to her door when it opened. "Ah! Lissa?"

"Hey Hina." Lissa said as she walked in.

"What are you doing here?"

"Aya called me. She told me that you have a dress you're giving away." Lissa replied.

Momo sighed. "Yea. It's on my bed. See for yourself." She then moved to the side and closed the door when Lissa entered.

"Wow. It's uh… wow." Lissa explained as she took the dress by the hanger and raised it so she can see.

"I know. Father said that I can give it away or something." Momo agreed.

"Well I know a person who would like to buy this. Now it's just the price."

"What about… 2000?"

"That's too high. Maybe… 1800"

"That'll work."

"Ok then. Well let me leave it here for a while." Lissa and Momo walked out of the room and started making their way down the hall. "Have you heard about the prince?"

"Yea. Found out this morning. In fact I was about to see him before you came."

"Hmm… well you know, I don't think he would do something like that."

"I know he wouldn't. That why I want to find out."

Afternoon:

Lissa and Momo talked to Mikoto and like the king said he says he doesn't know. After that the girls went to the shop and put the dress with the tag up for sale.

"Well there it goes." Lissa's voice rang out through the empty shop as she finished placing the dress on another hanger.

"Good riddance for that thing." Momo shuddered.

"You know, I really don't know how you became such a tomboy."

"My mom was a tomboy princess and queen. Maybe it's traits. Maybe even genetics."

"Hmm…maybe."

They were silent for awhile. Just sitting there. Then Momo broke the silence. "Aren't you going to open?"

The shop girl sighed. "Yea." While the girl opened the door to the shop and turned the sign to say 'Come in. We're open', Momo was looking at the tomboy clothes.

"Lissa!" A boy came running into the shop. Momo didn't quite know the boy that much, but what she did know is that he's one year older that Lissa and that the shop girl likes him. What was his name again?

"Yes Hadehito?"

Ah. Hadehito. That was the name.

"Pirates have been spotted out in the cove." Hadehito yelled.

"What?!" Both Momo and Lissa yelled at the same time.

"Ah! Princess Momo! I'm sorry! I didn't see you there." Hadehito explained as he bowed.

The princess walked up to him and pulled him up from the ground. "No time for that! Can you run fast?"

"Yes."

"Tell my father. And quickly!"

"Yes princess!" Then the boy ran out of the shop, almost tripped on gravel and kept running on.

"Pirates? This far in the Kingdoms of the Ocean? (1)" Lissa said worriedly.

Momo turned to face Lissa. She thought of the hiding place Lisiana thought her. "Lissa! Go in the back, open the closet and open the trap door. Go in it and it should take you to the castle."

"Wha? Wait! Why is it connected to the castle?" Lissa asked confusingly.

"Because I asked my father to do in case I was out here and something like this was to happen! Now go!" Momo yelled as she pushed Lissa.

"What about you?"

"I'm going to sneak on a ship that is a trading ship and find the ship that has the book."

"Why?!"

"To save the prince that's why. Now go!" The princess pushed Lissa down the trap door then closed it. After that she got a big bag used for traveling. Grabbed clothes and some books and ran out the door. She has to go save the prince before her country and his country foes into an all out war if father kills him!

Wow. I would have made it longer but, I had to start on other stories and I only do 1 at a time. So then I won't get mixed up.

Here are some more translations:

Teiku ue sono omoi-take over the mind

Hadehito-loud man

1- Kingdoms of the Ocean in the story is a chain of island nations and countries in the story. Momo's kingdom is the biggest island and is located in the middle of all these other islands.
