A/N: *dodges tomato* *dodges another tomato* *dodges yet another tomato*
OKAY! STOP WITH THE TOMATOES! I admit, I'm a very bad girl for not writing
in...what, 3 months? BUT THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HIT ME WITH
TOMATOES! *audience glares* *author sulks* Fine, be that way. But here is
the new chapter...*audience smiles* *author runs away*
Disclaimers: Mew. Mew's from pokemon isn't he? Mew's cute. (Why are we discussing Mew here?) ANYWAY, I don't own these people.

"Indeed...you...you really do have...her eyes...You must be...Kamui."
The room was enveloped with heavy silence after the sentence was spoken. It had had its effect.
Then, as if everything was somehow being returned to normal, a voice proclaimed, "Oi, lady, what're ya talkin' about? I hope you ain't referring to me, cuz I-"
"You, show some respect and listen!" commanded Sumeragi quietly.
"Err...right."
"You...you are our true and respectful prince," continued Hinoto. "We welcome you back."
And with that, she bowed, as did Sumeragi and Arisugawa. The girl stared at them all in confusion.
"WHAT IS THAT?" she demanded. "I'm a gal, a 'true' and 'respectful' one, at that. If you must compare me to some'in, at least make it the right gender!"
Hinoto let out a strained smile.
"Well...there seems to be a slight glitch...but it was prophesized you're a prince, yet you're a girl, and that...that's..."
"Besides, if I were a prince, why would I be beggin' on the streets, huh? You explain that to me!"
"No, no, that part isn't hard. You were lost, kidnapped, if you must...that's not odd at all."
The girl sighed.
"I don't get all this. Just lemme go and continue my life. I'll cough up all I've stolen, if that's what yer after."
At this, Sumeragi raised an amused brow.
"-All- you've -stolen-? And just how much what that be, young lady?"
She shrugged.
"Not'in much. Enough to get by," she murmured, a bit uncomfortable.
"Enough to get by? Hmm..."
"What, you not belivin' me?"
"No, not quite that-"
"You're not!"
"All right, no, not really."
"That's downright rude of ya!"
"Ahem!"
The room quieted down once more as the priestess continued speaking.
"Your name is Kamui, is it not?"
"Yeah, so? I betcha it's a common 'nough name."
Here, Arisugawa decided to cut in. "No, it's not."
"You shut up."
"Ahem! Please, no bickering. It is right then, you are Kamui. There are great plans in store for you..."
"Oh yeah? Well, I ain't interested. You go get yerself another _princess_."
Hinoto sighed.
"Well, if you really must go, I can't detain you, but...if you really have stolen so much, it is only right that you're sent to our prison. I assure you, those aren't...comfortable, persay. In fact, quite the opposite, and..."
Kamui's eyebrows twitched unnaturally.
"Still, it is your choice, I suppose, though I would be more than happy to cover those sums and more if you were to be our prince..." murmured Hinoto with much regret in her voice.
"Wait a minute. So yer sayin' that if I march around as yer prince, then you pay for my livin', is that it?"
"Well, if you put it that way, yes."
The girl fidgeted uncomfortably.
"Well..."
"Hey, Sumeragi, ever gone down to those prisons they have? All hard, cold rock, mice and cockroaches, hay to lie on, fried rat for dinner..."
Her brows twitched harder with every word.
"Yes, I have, actually, Arisugawa-san. And no, it isn't fried rat, it's fried ants. A meager portion, really, but that's what prisoners deserve," replied Sumeragi.
"ALL RIGHT! I'll be yer dumb prince, but you gotta gimme good stuff in exchange!"
Her three companions in the dark, small room smiled.
"It's a deal," responded Arisugawa.
"Good."
"But..." continued Sumeragi, "there are some rules that apply. You must do what we ask of you."
"Yeah? Well, it can't be that hard."
"No, not that hard. We just have to turn you into a... 'palace person'."
Kamui's eyes widened in horror.
"Oh no."

A/N: Again? Yeah. So anyway, that was all. Don't bug me about the length, because it's an in-between chapter. I have to get him to become their prince somehow. The better part will be up next chapter. Let the games begin! Ohohohohohoho! Yeah...anyway...why'd everyone go straight for d? I don't get it! Hehehehe. Thanks a lot for the reviews! I really appreciate them! Oh, and for some reason, I get the feeling I'm using the worst grammar ever for the story, so it'd be nice if someone would edit for me? Become my personalized editor! Your job also includes motivating me to write on though. So someone, please help! ^^.
