A/N: Thank you for the reviews! Here's chapter 2! I almost forgot to mention that I made up Yashiro's father's name.
Summary: Princess Maron and Prince Chiaki hate eachother's guts despite that their fathers are very close friends, and so are their kingdoms. Hatred is shown between the two until something happens...will love come in the way?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'Wow... this is a BIG palace' Maron said to herself. She walked through the corridors of the palace, heading towards the dining room. Miyako walked beside Maron who was astonished with the size of the palace, HUGE. They looked around, seeing paintings. Some of them looked creepy but most of them were just beautiful. Fin flew behind them. She was supposed to be in her human size but it would be obvious for everyone to know that she was the guardian of the two girls.
"Hey Miyako, do you think the king would be pleased to see me? I mean, he wanted US to go here but I was wondering why father didn't come...that's weird. He always goes with us whenever we have dinner or lunch with other people."
"I don't know. Uncle Takumi must've had a reason for not going with us."
"Princess, your father told me that he had business to do so he went to a meeting, leaving me to guard you and Lady Miyako if something happens." Fin said as she flew beside the princess. "Oh really. How come father never told me about this 'meeting'?!" Maron said, turning furious.
Fin laughed silently, unknown to Maron the real reason of why they were here. "Princess, your father had to go to that meeting because it was important so he found no time to tell you."
"Oh yeah, as if he can always find time for me. Ever since mother passed away, he began to not find time for me...he never did. I just wish.." Maron spoke, forming a frown on her face. Miyako noticed this and knew what Maron was thinking. She had always been with Maron ever since they were children so she knew every detail of Maron's past childhood life. She didn't want her best friend to remember the painful memories, knowing that she would only feel depressed. She will never forgive herself if that happens.
"Come on, Maron. Cheer up, at least we get to meet new people, especially the prince. Don't think it would be a great chance to find you a boyfriend?" Miyako grinned, patting Maron on the back, trying to cheer her up. Hearing this, Maron blushed. "Miyako! I never said that I wanted a boyfriend!! Where the heck did you get that idea?!" Miyako chuckled, so did Fin. "Oh Maron. You're not a child anymore. You should think like an ordinary sixteen year-old girl now, not like a kid." Maron pouted. "But I don't want to think of those things!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Yashiro!! I don't want to go!!" Chiaki whined as he was dragged by Yashiro through the corridor. He always hated it whenever he was being forced to something he didn't want to do. Yashiro smiled, "Nuh uh, I'm not gonna take this chance to let you not go to the dinner party uncle held. Especially for the princess of the Kusakabe kingdom."
Chiaki then got out of her grip and slowly sneaked away. As he was about to reach the next hallway, he felt a hand grab the cloth of his shirt. 'Uh oh..' He thought. "You think you can get away from me, dear cousin?" He turned his head, seeing Yashiro giving him the thing he calls 'death glare'. He tried to force a smile out of his scared expression. "Y- Yashiro..I..uh..wanted to check on Access. Yeah! Check on Access!" Chiaki grinned.
"Lookin' for me, 'prince charming'?" A voice said from behind. Chiaki turned his head and saw a pair of black wings and sly grin. "Access!" The angel crossed his arms. "Yo! Ya missed me?" Access smiled enthusiastically, making his fang show. Yashiro only waved at the angel while Chiaki sweatdropped. "Why are YOU here, Access?! I thought I told you to stay in my room!"
Access showed a peace sign, "Hehe, I got bored, so I came to check on you, AS a guardian of the prince, which happens to be you."
"Give me a break...I just wanna get out of here and NOT go to that boring party dad held." Chiaki stuck out his tongue in defeat, knowing that there's nothing to stop these two from brining him to the dinner party. "Aw..come on, Chiaki. You gotta at least get a life, you always lock yourself in your room. Let's go and have fun!" Access exclaimed.
"Yeah right..."
-------*****-------*****-------*****-------
"Princess, I think you've had enough training. Let's go back inside." A human sized Fin approached a blonde haired woman who was wearing a kimono only that the skirt was until her knees or a little bit higher. She smiled at the angel, taking off her ribbon and turning back into the chestnut haired princess. "Okay Fin. Where's Miyako?"
They started to walk inside the palace. "She's in the room, reading her favorite novels again." Fin replied, dissolving back into her small angel form. She flew beside the princess who had just wiped off sweat from her forehead, sighing out of tiredness.
It was obvious that she was tired from a five-hour training, a training assigned to enhance her skills as a princess and at the same time, a courageous fighter. She was determined to defeat the evil that walked the earth, especially those that play with the emotions of innocent people, leading them to destroy the lives of others.
"I see. She never stops, does she? At least she's not the one who trains five-hours a day!" Maron said with a tone of annoyance. She finally reached her room where Miyako was seated on a chair near the window. She had a perfect reading place a calm and peaceful room wherein she can concentrate.
"Hi Miyako." Maron greeted as she waved her hand. Miyako perked her head up and saw her best friend sweating hard. She got up from her chair and walked to her. She laid a hand on her forehead, checking if she was sick or not. "Um...Miyako, what are you doing?" Maron wondered.
"Checking if you have a fever. You could get sick if you tire yourself too much. Now, go and take a bath. The maids said that dinner will be ready in a few minutes." Miyako smiled slightly as she pulled her hand off. "Alright, I'll go. Wait for me, okay?" Maron smiled back, turning back to get her towel. "Okay," came Miayko's reply, then returned to reading.
Fin stared out of the window, thinking. She knew that it would be hard for Maron to defeat this great power so her father encouraged her to train. She felt sorry for the princess. All the hardships she has to go through, the endurance she has to face, it was a must. She was the chosen one, the one who holds the power to overcome the evil that lurked around.
-------*****-------*****-------*****-------
"Maron! Maron!" Someone called out her name. Snapping out of her trance, or flashback, Maron looked up at Miyako who had a worried look on her face. "Miyako? What's wrong? Why the worried look?"
"You looked like a zombie while we were walking and you had that blank expression written all over your face. Me and Fin got worried about you so we took you here." Maron looked around. She found out that she was outside the Nagoya palace, in the garden sitting on a bench. She turned to look at Fin who had turned herself into human form. "Did you carry me here, Fin?"
Fin nodded. "Yes, princess. I did."
"I'm sorry." Maron apologized as she frowned.
"Don't be. I am your guardian and it is my duty to keep you safe. Besides, I was also worried about you so I thought that I should've brought you here. At least it's quiet and peaceful." Fin smiled, nodding her head. Maron looked down, still frowning. Miyako then tapped her back, "What happened to you anyway?"
"I don't know. I suddenly felt dizzy and...I couldn't remember the rest."
"Probably tired. You tired yourself too much this afternoon from training, didn't you?"
Maron didn't reply. It seems that Miyako was telling the truth. But she felt something else, a blue aura was present in the palace. The power was strong so she decided to sense who the owner was, then she felt dizzy and fell down.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Chiaki? What's wrong?" Yashiro's voice echoed through his mind and snapped back. He shook his head, driving off the dizziness. Access flew to him, "Hey, what happened to you? Your expression was blank a while ago."
"No, I'm fine. No need to worry." Chiaki said. Access landed on his shoulder and sat down in an indian sitting position, crossing his arms. "Are you sure?" He asked, trying to make sure that nothing was wrong. Chiaki looked at his guardian and smiled, "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that I'm a little dizzy, that's all."
Yashiro walked towards Chiaki and laid a hand on his forehead, "Well, there's no sign of fever coming. I guess everything's alright now. Come on, we have to be downstairs or else we won't get to meet the princess."
"Yeah, let's go." Access said as he flew away from Chiaki and slowly disappeared. He started walking with Yashiro and thought of what had just happened.
'What was that pink aura I felt?'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Both groups walked slowly to their destination. It took them a while until...
"Ouch!" Maron said as she bumped into someone. She also heard the other person groan in pain. She looked up to the person she bumped to and saw a blue haired boy rubbing his chest. "Chiaki! Are you okay?" She saw a dark green haired girl approach the boy. The girl knelt beside the boy. "Maron? Are you alright?" Miyako rushed to Maron and helped her get up.
"I'm alright, Miayko. Thank you." Maron smiled, assuming that she was okay. She then faced the other two people who were also standing, staring at them. "I'm sorry. I wasn't looking so..."
"Who are you?" Yashiro asked as Chiaki leaned on the wall, crossing his arms against his chest. "I'm the princess of the Kusakabe kingdom, Kusakabe Maron." Maron introduced herself. She pointed to Miyako with her hand, "This is Toudaiji Miyako."
Yashiro's eyes widened. "You're princess Maron?! I can't believe it's you. Uncle Kaiki speaks of you everytime and all of good things. I'm Sazanka Yashiro, daughter of the Prime Minister, Sazanka Yanazaki." She pointed to Chiaki. "This is my cousin, the prince of the Nagoya kingdom." She added.
"Nagoya Chiaki." Chiaki simply said, smirking.
"Pleased to meet you." Maron said as she bowed. "The pleasure is mine." Yashiro said as she smiled. Maron then walked to Chiaki. She stared at him and said to herself that he was handsome, because his blue hair suited him and so did his features, especially his blue eyes. He looked kind and nice. "It's a pleasure to meet you." Maron smiled.
"Get away from me." Chiaki said coldly with a sense of disgust. Maron's eyes widened in shock, "I'm sorry if I bumped you. I wasn't looking."
"Then you're probably blind! Are you?" Chiaki shouted.
"I am not blind! Besides, it was just an accident!" Maron retorted back.
Chiaki then turned around, his back was to her. "Forget it! Just stay away from me!" He said as he started to walk away. "Chiaki! Come back here!" Yashiro started to run after him but stopped and stared at Maron. "I'm sorry about my cousin. He was just furious about something. Please excuse me." She apologized and walked away.
Maron glared at the retreating Chiaki. She then felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned her head, "It's okay. I guess that prince had a bad day or something." Miyako said.
"That jerk! I just said that it was an accident and he still doesn't accept it! What a moron!" Maron was enraged and furious. Her thoughts about him being kind and nice, ALL WRONG!!!! But she couldn't erase the fact that he was handsome. She just couldn't take her eyes of those blue eyes...
