A/N: Yea, ohayo! Here's the next chapter, before I move to Qatar =C. We're leaving in two weeks time so I might be able to update more chapters, but anyway here's the chapter! Oh and Happy New Year!

Like Romeo & Juliet: Chapter 9

Kisshu was pacing back and fro, his hands behind him. His eyes looked a bit miserable from what he just gone through the day.

Kisshu had just came from the long journey, he was tired but smiled. He walked into the kitchen and place the food items on the table.

'Where is everyone?' he thought.

He stepped outside the kitchen doorway and looked between the empty corridors, until he saw a maid coming his way.

"Excuse me, do you know where Pai or Taruto are?" he asked, the maid widen her eyes.

"Yes, they're looking for you your highness," she replied, giving him a curtsey. Kisshu nodded before thanking her.

He continued walking until he heard a familiar voice: Pai's voice. He peeped a little behind the doorway and listen to the conversation; he also saw Taruto and his father as well.

"We searched everywhere dad, we couldn't find him!"

'That's definitely Taruto,' the green-haired alien thought.

"This is bad; Kisshu needs to know about this quick,"

'That's father, I guess I'll go and find out' he thought.

Kisshu steeped aside from his hiding spot and into the doorway. He caught his father's eyes, and then waits for the other two to notice.

"I'm here, what is it that you need to tell me?" His father looked at him for a minute or two before answering.

"You're going to take my place as King, Kisshu," he answered. Kisshu stared at him, his eyes widen.

'Me? King? Why?'

His mind was soon filled with questions, he couldn't say anything.

"Why?" he managed to choke out. His father still stayed calm though he lowers his head.

"You're mothers sick Kisshu and she needs someone to look after her. I'm soon going to grow old and I need someone to take my place…" The green-haired alien looked at him.

"Why not Pai?" he asked, crossing his arms while the King sighed. Pai answered him.

"I'm not that ready Kisshu, unlike you I still haven't got fully trained, that's why you're going to take his place," Pai answered. It was Taruto to speak.

"Kish, please do this, for mum she's really sick, and we have no idea what kind of disease or sickness she might have. Please Kish," the young boy said, tears forming at the corner of his eyes. Kisshu looked at his younger brother with pity, then swivel his eyes to Pai, who nodded. He took a deep breath.

"Okay, but don't I need um a queen?" he asked, lowering his voice, feeling embarrassed.

'I had to ask that? Gawd I'm so stupid…'

However the little trio in the room didn't find it stupid.

"Yes Kisshu, in a matter of fact, we have a plan," replied Pai. Kisshu shot his head up, wanting to hear it.

"After we kidnap Princess Ichigo, we're going to threaten her to lose the engagement to that scum Prince Masaya and marry you. However if that doesn't work will have to keep her as hostage and threaten her parents, and let you two marry in private," his father answered. Kisshu wasn't sure of the plan.

"But what happens if both of the plans don't work? That Prince Masaya might know about Plan A, and her parents will probably declare war and might win in Plan B…" said Kisshu. His father still remained calm, smiling a bit.

"Ah, we already planned another one. If both plans don't work you have to marry Lady Mint. We soon found out that she's a close friend of Princess Ichigo. Anyway, if you marry her we might have enough force to take over King Shintaro's kingdom," he continued, now smirking and his brothers. However he wasn't.

'I might have to marry Mint? This doesn't make sense! Her out of any girl in the entire kingdom? The only person I love is… damn it, I forgot to ask that peasant girl's name! I am such a fool!'

"But why Mint? I could marry Princess Lettuce!" he stammered, but his father shook his head.

"Princess Lettuce is too soft, and she doesn't have that force, but Lady Mint does and she seems a strong person. Besides you two did have a relationship, so that makes it a little easier," he answered, he looked at his son and tried to smile.

"Kisshu, please for us, for me, for your mother. She won't last long, so please…" he said, his amber eyes filled with one emotion: sadness. The boy sighed, her look at his brothers whose eyes are also filled with sadness, including Pai.

"Very well, but for our sakes," he said before taking his exit. He continued until he reached his bedroom, and sat on his bed. He looked at his bedroom window, it was almost sunset.

'That must have been a long lecture; it's already this late… I have to meet her. That peasant girl and asked her name, I just hope she still remembers me…maybe I'll go visit her now!' he thought, smiling.

Out in a flash, he teleported to various places she could be: the road where they met, the town market, the countryside, anywhere, he also got the nerve to look outside other people's house, but nothing. He was soon high in the dark sky, the moon glowing at him. He was above the road where they first met, and smiled. He soon heard noises coming from below and saw it was a carriage, he growled in irritation. Firstly, because it ruined the peaceful silent and secondly it was his enemy's carriage: Prince Masaya.

'I guess it won't hurt to follow him, and maybe send some reports…' he smirked, while following the carriage. It was quite dark already but his race has night-vision. He followed the carriage until they stopped at a certain villa: Lady Mint's villa. He widened his eyes in surprise but smirk.

'So, Prince Masaya is cheating Princess Ichigo huh? That'll be news; who would be stupid enough to visit their girlfriend late at night...Okay maybe some guys but he's just going to get himself caught… I'll just lower myself' he thought.

He lowered himself down, behind a hedge and watched. An old woman with a cloud on her head already opened the door, and spoke to him, and the Prince waited. Kisshu was getting impatient by then. He saw that a girl was in the doorway, but she seemed familiar, too familiar. He narrowed his eyes and listened to their conversation.

"Ah, Ichigo I'm here to pick you up, since you haven't come home already and it's late,"

"I'm sorry Masaya but I'm staying here for the night. I already received word from my parents that they allow me here to stay,"

"Well, okay. Very well, but I'll come back here tomorrow to pick. I'm sure you don't have any plans on someone dropping you there by themselves,"

There was silence for little while and someone taking a deep breath. Kisshu looked up from the hedge, and saw that scum Masaya and that familiar girl, Princess Ichigo.

"I'm sorry Masaya but Mint's going to send a carriage for me to take,"

"Well okay,"

He then saw the scum walked up to the girl and cup her face with his hands, then lean down to kiss her forehead. Kisshu felt his heart miss a beat.

'Why is my heartbeat like this? It's almost like I'm… jealous… but that can't be true – he looked at the familiar girl, Ichigo – but she looks so familiar…'

He saw that the girl's hands turned into fists, he smirks.

'Hmm, interesting looks like that Princess Ichigo doesn't like him… this is too easy! I guess a little fun won't hurt' he thought, smirking.

He waited till Prince Masaya was out of sight, then he strike. He shook the hedges hard, making a loud rustling sound. He looked up and saw a startle Ichigo, and smirked. He waited till she tried to open the handle again and shook the hedges but harder. He looked up to see Ichigo startled again, and smirked but soon faded. He now know why that Princess Ichigo was familiar: two cat ears popped out of her head, and he was sure that no-one else had them.

'No! That can't be true, she's that peasant girl? I must be seeing things' he thought, and looked back to see Ichigo. He saw that she had maroon-red hair, and the same creamy skin. He saw a glimpse of her eyes: two hazel eyes. She still had the cat ears. Kisshu fell on his knees, his forest-green bangs covering his eyes. One thought appeared on his mind.

'Ichigo's my enemy?'
