By: ChibiAzn3

(I got the idea from nerd witch's alone in the darkness. She inspired me to write this. Hope you enjoy!)
The Meeting
(Title says all…kinda stupid…)
"My dear Anna. It is already getting late. The paths home will be too dangerous at night." Prince Hao said smirking.
Anna stared at him coldly. "Your point? Your Majesty?"
Prince Hao straightened himself. "My point….why don't you stay here with me tonight, my dear Anna? I have many, many, many spare rooms."
Anna's eyes narrowed. "So?"
Prince Hao was of course a bit surprised by this. Most girls would have begged to sleep here. And every girl would have taken up such an offer. Guess he was wrong. Prince Hao put on his most charming smile. "Well…seeing as you are my fiancé, why don't we start getting closer." (Dang it! Which one is fiancée and which one is fiancé? Male, female…)
Anna raised her eyebrows.
"We should get to know eachother better, seeing as we will sleep with eachother soon…" Prince Hao chuckled.
Hao was shaking with fury,
"Come along my dear. You know what? You actually CAN sleep with me tonight. So, come." Prince Hao reached out a hand to touch Anna's soft face.
Anna attempted to slap him, but her slap was caught by him. "Hahaha. Really, My dear, not so feisty, eh? Very impressive…"
"Really? Well, if that was impressive," Anna smirked, "I'd like to see your face, after THIS" Anna used her Legendary Left. (Remember this from the anime?)
Prince Hao was surprised. He held his burning cheek, staring at Anna with awe. Then, he gave a satisfied nod and called for his servants. "Nichrome?"
"Yes, sire?"
"Find Lady Anna the most magnificent guest room in the palace." He smirked at Anna.
Nichrome sweatdropped. "Wh-Which one?"
Prince Hao frowned. "Give her the room of the Garden View."
Nichrome bowed. "Yes. Wait..er…where was that one again?"
Prince Hao frowned again. "You should know where it is by now, Nichrome."
Nichrome bowed once again nervously. "I'm sorry, sire, but we haven't used that since the Queen from Ivaloski visited us."
Prince Hao sighed. "It's the room on the corner edge of the Garden, obviously."
Nichrome looked confused.
Prince Hao grumbled something. "The one upstairs on the third floor at the the North-East End. NOW GO!"
Nichrome tripped over his clothes at the last two words, and quickly scrambled away, motioning for Anna to come with him.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Anna sighed as she looked out the window and stared into the Garden. How did this ever happen to HER? Why did it happen?
These thoughts clouded her head.
She stared down into the garden again. She saw someone walking in it. Prince Hao? No, no it couldn't be. That guy could never have enough sense to respect Mother Nature.
She frowned. Then realization hit her. It was the boy servant named Luke. How much he and the Prince looked alike!
Suddenly, she reached into her sleeve.
She took out a note.
Of course! It was the note.
Meet me in the kitchen at midnight tonight.
The Grandfather Clock in her room struck once, twice, thrice…twelve times!
Anna quickly pulled on her night robe. She looked out the window once more. The boy had gone.
She stuffed the note inside her pocket and opened the door a crack.
There was no one in sight.
She opened it up a bit more.
Still no one.
She began to tiptoe.
She closed the door and locked it.
Anna lighty and silently walked down the Grand Staircase.
"Where is that kitchen?" She whispered to herself.
Then it dawned on her. Next to the Dining Room of course! And…the Dining Room…
Anna frowned trying to remember. Prince Hao had taken her to the left of the Great Hall, then he went down the corridor, and through a pair of large golden doors! The Dining Room! (Remember the layout of Hogwarts? Only, the Great Hall at Hogwarts is now called the Dining Room, and the Entrance Hall at Hogwarts is now called the Great Hall, get it?)
Anna quickened her pace. She was nearing the Great Hall…
She made a turn and…
She covered her mouth, uttering a soft scream.

It was Prince Hao.
"P-Prince Hao!" She cried.
Prince Hao frowned suspiciously. "What are you doing here, my dear Anna? You can catch a cold like this."
"I-I was…I was thirsty, so I-"
Prince HAo shook his head. "We have servants for that Lady Anna." He clapped loudly twice. After a minute or so, two servants hustled to his side.
"Yes, your Majesty?" They said in unision.
"Bring Lady Anna a cup of water." He said, not taking his eyes off Anna and staring at her suspiciously.
Anna kept her eyes on the servants as she saw them bow in respect and scramble off.
"Now, back to bed." Prince HAo said putting on a charming smile.
Anna backed away in fear. Then she turned and walked quickly up the stairs…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"What am I going to do?" She thought as tears leaked out. She sat hugging her knees and rocking back and forth.
She looked out the window again. Far across the Garden was the beach.
FLASHBACK
"Here you go, Anna." The young boy said as he gave her the most beautiful flower in the world.
Anna stared in awe. "Wow…it's so pretty…" She looked at the grinning boy, "Where'd you get it? It must have costed you a lot of trouble to get it…"
The boy shook his head stupidly. "Nah…it's very easy to sneak inside the Gardens! Whoops." He immediately covered his mouth with both hands.
Anna stared. "Y-You risked g-getting caught…just to get a flower…for me?"
The boy nodded in delight.
Anna blushed.
"It's very easy. There is a small hole under the corner bush of the Garden. The moats are no problem. There are also many other secret passages in the Palace…"
"How d-di you find out? You don't-"
The young boy scratched his head. "I er…well…I uh…I work there! Ya… And when I have spare time, I sneak around!"
"Wow…do you ever get caught?"
The boy shook his head. "Nope"
The boy pointed to the direction of a room on the third floor in front of the Garden. "When I was working up in THAT room, I found that the vines uner the windowsill are perfect for climbing! Hah! They'e like a ladder!"
Anna stared up into the room. "It must be wonderful…a Garden Room…"
END OF FLASHBACK.
Anna looked up again. Of course! The VINES! She wondered whether it was still there.
She used all her energy to open the window. A sudden breeze blew past her. It was so nice…
She looked below her. "Yes! The vines are still there!"
She started to climb down. One by one, little by little.
All of a sudden, she missed. "AAAH!" She screamed and suddenly shut up. She waited for any sign that perhaps anyone found out she was there.
No movement. No lights.
She continued to climb down…until she reached the ground.
"Now…where is the kitchen?" she thought.
She laid out the layout of the Palace in her mind. She looked over to the side of the Garden. If the front was there, then the side was here, and the kitchen should be…right around…
Anna started walking around.
HERE!
She peered into a window near the ground.
It seemed like a basement, but there was a smell of soup.
She looked harder. There were no lights, but there were oil lamps flickering here and there…it was off duty time…
She strained to open the window. It was no use.
She sat there, ready to cry.
Suddenly, the window opened for her!
"Come, milady." A voice whispered.
"L-Luke?" Anna whispered in disbelief.
There was no answer.
She squeezed through the window.
She peered around the dark kitchen. "L-Luke?" she whispered again.
"Shh…milady…careful not to wake up Matamune."
"Mata-who?"
"The Prince's cat, Matamune…" He hushed.
He led her to yet another dark room.
Anna looked around.
Suddenly, the room lit up with bright lamps. "That;s better…" 'Luke' sighed.
Anna walked closer to him. "L-Luke?"
"Shh…milady…careful…"
"What did call me for?"
The boy frowned. "I wanted to warn you about Prince Hao. You said you were…engaged to him?"
Anna nodded sadly.
The boy sighed in frustration. "That's not good…"
Anna stared. "What? Luke-"
"No!" He whispered. He sighed again. "My…my real name is Yoh…"
"Yoh? Well..then why-?"
Yoh shook his head. "For certain reasons." He took an orange and peeled it. "Want a piece?" He asked raising up a slice of orange.
Anna shook her head. She was still confused.
"Well…er…let's just say, the Prince never liked me…and…banished me from the Palace…well…I needed a job bad…and the only place that would accept me…was the Palace…if I was another person." He suddenly grinned. "Got it?"
Anna nodded.
Yoh chewed on his slice of orange. "Prince Hao is very dangerous…very dangerous indeed…" His voice fell to a whisper.
Anna stared. "How?"
"He's,…very reckless…and powerful… His Spirit of Fire, his guardian is a very powerful spirit indeed…"
"Spirit?"
Yoh nodded. "Yeah. Well…a few years ago, his parents decided that he was too evil to become king, and so set for their younger son to become king."
Anna suddenly remembered, "That boy…"
"Huh?" Yoh loked at her.
Anna shook her head and smiled.
"Well, anyways," Yoh said, resuming his story, "Prince Hao, of course, got angry and demanded at once that he should be king. The King and Queen of course, disagreed. When that happened, he took action…" Yoh frowned.
FLASHBACK
"Come, Ototo, let's go for a walk, how bout it, ne?" His brother had asked him.
"Yippee! Alright! Let's go!" Yoh cried happily.
They walked for what seemed like hours. "Oni-Chan…I'm…I'm tired,"
Hao smirked to himself. Perfect. He had been waiting for him to say that. "It's alright. A little further…"
"Oni-chan? Where are we going Oni-chan!"
"Somewhere that you'll die to see…"
Yoh cocked his head to one side in confusement. He ran to catch up. His brother was nowhere in sight.
Yoh frowned.
His brother had vanished?
He walked up a cliff.
Then…
"AAHHHHH!" A cry broke the silence of the night.
END FLASHBACK
"Yoh? Yoh?" Anna shook his arm.
"Huh? Oh..sorry…" he mumbled.
"What happened next?"
"Well…the story that went out was, that a mob of pirates or something got to them…Hao made it out alive, but his brother,no…"
Anna stared.
"But the real story, as the King and Queen know it, was that Prince Hao had pushed his younger brother off the cliff…"
Anna's eyes widened. "Then…why didn't they kill Prince Hao? Why!"
Yoh shook his head,. "They can't. First of all, that would mean the end of the Asakura legacy…second of all…he was too powerful…and if word of that gets out…it will most certainly bring shame to the family name. A brother kill a brother? And besides, the King and Queen live in fear of their oldest son, now."
Anna did not speak. So this was what happened to the young boy whom she had loved. She started to cry. "H-How do you know all this?"
Yoh smiled sadly. "I knew that boy very well…He was like…a part of me…"
Anna looked at him strangely.
"It's getting late…you'd better go back."
Anna stood up.
"You must remember to be cautious around Prince Hao. Remember, he pushed his brother off a cliff, he can kill his mother and father, he can kill you. Or worse yet, he'll torture you."
"Why-Why do you care?" Anna asked curiously.
Yoh sighed. "B-Because….I…don't want you to end up the same way I did…" He reached for the back of his shirt and pulled it up.
Anna uttered a soft scream.
There were burn marks everywhere.
Her eyes filled with tears. "Why?"
Yoh did not answer.
"I'll make sure Prince Hao treats you nicer." She said in a firm voice.
Yoh's eyes widened. "No! Don't! He'll become suspicious." Yoh made a sudden movement to stop Anna and winced.
Anna looked up.
"I-It's the burn marks…it's nothing..Don't…he truly is dangerous…" He said again warningly.
Anna nodded.
"Now go." He whispered.
Anna nodded again and left.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
She ran silently. She turned the corner…and…
Prince Hao.
"So…you think you can act behind me, eh? Well, we'll just have to teach her a little lesson, won't we? Spirit of Fire?" He snapped his fingers, and a large Spirit appeared behind him….
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
So? How is it? Pleaz R and R! THNX! Sorry for cliffie…:P
