Prince Kazune's POV

God, she smelled... so good...

Kissing her was... like.. magic..

It was our second kiss.. that I had stolen, yet both of them were so amazing – it was like fireworks were exploding everywhere, and on top of that, it tasted like chocolate.

That shade of pink that told me she was embarrassed, I would do anything to cause that flush.. it was all so beautiful... she was even cuter when she was embarrassed.

"Karin.." I pulled away, and saw that her eyelids had drooped.

So she was about to close her eyes? Heh, heh.

"I wonder if you felt that, too." I laughed.

Her eyes snapped open and she tried to push me away, her expression annoyed.

"Don't toy with me like that, you sick perv!"she pushed me away and I started laughing.

I don't know how long it's been since I've laughed multiple time in one day, but Karin's changed it all.

Princess Karin's POV
Why was he the one making my heart pound? No one has ever done that... not even Jin...

But that's because I'm not in love with him.

The sudden thought made me gasp, and Kazune stopped laughing to look at me.

No! It can't be! I'm definitely not falling in love with anyone! There's no way I could fall in love with even him this quickly. . I'll just have to wait and see.

"What's wrong?"

I looked up to his dazzling face and suddenly felt a little shy around him.

"N- nothing.." I blushed and looked away.

I quickly turned around so I wasn't facing him and tried to think.

There's really no way! He's a total sexist jerk, with no respect for women... and he's...

I felt hands grip my hip from behind.

A sick, hormonal, perverted idiot.

And then I was sitting on his lap, on the couch.

His stomach was pressed to my back.

"K- Kazune!"

I was glad no one was watching, because I would have fainted if someone saw me acting so helpless towards him when I could push him away if I wanted to.

Something told me I didn't really want to push him away.

He rested his chin on my left shoulder and I shivered.

"What are you.."

"Man, I'm confused.. what about you?"

"C- confused?"

"Yep."

"About what?" I frowned.

His hands wrapped around my stomach.

"How I feel toward you and you me?"

I froze.

"Karin? You didn't answer me earlier.. How do you feel about me? Things seem to have changed between us."

"Hime- sama!"

I snapped to attention, and in less than a second, was across the room at the kitchen door.

I opened the door and coughed as smoke filled my lungs.

Dammit! The cake!

"Uh.." I heard shuffling, and the smoke finally cleared enough for me to see.

I waved smoke out of the way and stared down at the cake.

It was a giant brown, clumpy, blob of chocolate cake.

"AAH!" I screamed.

"Maybe you put in... too much baking soda?" Miyon put a hand on her mouth to hide her smile.

I glared at her. "This isn't the time to be laughing, we have to make another -"

I heard the kitchen door open and turned to see a girl with curly black pigtails had sliced a piece of the cake under my nose and had ran to give it to Kazune.

"RIKA!"

I ran after her, and when I grabbed her skirt, I watched as the plate fell out of her hands, and the glob of a cake slice slammed into Kazune's face.

"What the... !"

I couldn't help but laugh, but my laughing silenced when a clump of cake went soaring and landed on my face.

"HEY!" I glared at him and he gave me a bored expression.

I tasted it experimentally.

It's delicious!

"Mmmm!" I heard Miyon say behind me, and turned to see that she had stuffed her mouth full of chocolate cake, and so had Rika, who had randomly teleported to the kitchen.

I looked over at Kazune, who had cake smeared on his face.

All three of us looked at him expectantly.

He blinked.

"You expect me to eat that disfigured creature?"

I set my jaw, grabbed a handful of what was left of cake from the plate, punched him hard in his gut, and when his mouth opened, I shoved the cake in his mouth.

"Learn to respect people, or they'll disrespect you! I don't know how many people you've gotten away with treating like crap, but I'm not going to sit there and let you treat me like that!"

He chewed and swallowed.

"So.. do you like I.."

"I'm going home.." he stood up and dusted himself off.

I stood up and ran after him. "Hey! You jerk! Answer me!"

He laughed and ran outside the castle doors.

There was already a carriage ready to take him home.

A butler opened the door and Kazune sat down inside and waved.

I yelled after him.

"TELL ME IF YOU LIKED THE DAMN CAKE OR NOT YOU IDIOT!"
No answer.

I sighed and stomped back inside.

What a day.
