Author's Note :

A short chapter about Karin meeting Kazune's twin, Kazusa. :)

Princess Karin's POV

The butler opened the castle doors for me and bowed.

"Um.. thank you." I curtsied, feeling silly, and after I walked in, he went back to take the carriage to my castle.

I'd only seen Kazune's castle once since I had fallen asleep, and when I had stormed out on my own, I wasn't paying attention..

But this castle was beautiful!

The room I saw when I walked in was made entirely of pure gold.

In the center of the large room was a porcelain water fountain, and I gasped when I looked closer at it.

There was a huge, white flower in the middle of the large ring of crystal blue water.

It was so beautiful.. I had to get a bunny version water fountain in the middle of my castle!

I looked around. There were 3 ways to go to walk around the castle, and I guessed no one would be there to show me around, so..

"That jerk. I'm at his castle and he's not even here to greet me. Some gentleman."

"I'll just look on my own.."

Walking ahead, I came across what I guessed was the living room, a large room with soft, snow white carpet, and black recliner couches that would seat about 9 people, and curved around a few extra feet, almost stretching around the whole room.

A large, flat screen tv was pressed against the wall. There was a balcony outside, which held a beautiful view of a lake, and I smiled and turned on my heel to walk out, hoping to find something else spectacular about him and his house.

I just had to find his room, I wanted to know more about him before I ever let him kiss or touch me again...

But, of course, I won't let him do either of those things! He moves to fast and is so careless about how I feel around him that he'll probably never notice he makes me feel uncomfortable!

I tried not to think of him, or I was afraid I'd break through a window with my fist.

I continued to explore the castle for a good 45 minutes, and when I traveled around upstairs, I finally found Kazune's room.

Grinning, I opened the door and was surprised.

Kazune's room was more organized than mine would ever be..

His bed was king sized, with a silk white comforter, and the head board was the same gold as the room I had walked into.

I looked on his dresser and found a few pictures.

One was of his father, King Kazuto, with shoulder length black hair and golden eyes, and I smiled when I saw him, so Kazune got his looks from him.

Another was of what I guessed was his mother.

She had short, flowing light blonde hair and and beautiful smile. Kazune had her crystal blue eyes.

I moved on to another picture.

It paused. It was of a girl who looked a lot like Kazune, the same crystal blue eyes, but her hair was so blonde it was almost white.

I thought it was a picture of his mother when she was younger, I'd just have to ask him later.

The last picture on his dresser gave me the weirdest reaction.

It was an adorable picture of Kazune when he was around 5 or 6, and for a brief moment, a memory was trying to get through to me, but all I had gotten was a small thought of my dream, where the blonde boy had helped me at my young age.

I shrugged it off and walked around his room.

There were multiple bows and arrows hanging on his wall, and I blinked.

Does he like archery? Wow.. I never would have guessed. Is he good at it? I'd love to seem him shoot an arrow. I bet his determined face looks cute...

I giggled at the thought and walked out of his room, accidentally crashing into someone.

I had hit my head against the marble floor as I fell, and winced.

It hurt terribly, but I was a bit more worried about the person I had ran into.

"Ah... are you okay?" I asked, looking up.

My eyes widened and for a second I forgot about the pain as I realized who it was – the girl in the photo that looked like Kazune.

She rubbed her backside and looked up at me, her eyes widened as well.

"Princess Athena!" she stood up, dusting herself off, and reached a hand out to help me up.

I took it gratefully and stood up.

"You know me?" I asked, and she nodded.

"Of course I do, Kazune never hides anything from me, plus everyone knows about your marriage being arranged."

I frowned, " I'm sorry, but I don't know who you are, though."

She curtsied and put on a beautiful smile.

"Princess Kazusa Artemis Kujyou! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

I blinked, "Kujyou? Then... are you Kazune's sister, or something?"

She nodded, "We're twins."

I was too stunned to speak. I was learning more about Kazune then I thought I would.
