Author: It was too short, I re-did it with more added on. Enjoy minna-san! Oh and uh, sorry if it's OOC at the end

"Eh..." Cam started off, his mind scrambling to find a possible escape route from this situation but not coming up with anything. Then he felt arms encircling his chest as Dustin quite literally pounced on him, the sudden weight on his back causing him to nearly fall over but Prince Hunter steadied him with a hand on his arm. A hand that Prince Hunter declined to remove from his arm. "Err..."

"Cam! Were you trying to hide from me or something? Didn't you see me in the courtyard? And where have you been? You like totally dropped out of sight after your Dad's death!" Dustin chattered cheerfully from where his head was resting on Cam's shoulders. He probably should move but Cam felt so good, and he smelled really nice too...

"Friend of yours?" Prince Hunter asked dryly, the amused tone much more evident then it had been before. From the look on the flustered servants face and the arms encircling his chest it seemed to be more then a friendship, but that stage of the relationship also seemed to have ended already. Good, it would have been a pity if Hunter had to kill Dustin.

"I have been a servant at the Duke of Blue Bay Harbors manor for years, it is natural for Dustin to know me." Behind him Dustin made a rather confused noise but seemed content to just smell his clothes instead of bungling the situation up more then it already was, a fact which made the blush on his cheeks redden more.

"Ah. I see." Hunter smirked at Cam, eyes traveling up and down the nervous mans frame. He rather liked the sight of an uncomfortable Cam, it made him squirm deliciously. "Has your Duke sent you on yet another errand?"

"Ah, no. Duke Lothor has given me the afternoon off, he is not in need of my services at the moment." Cam stated and finally felt Dustin stop hugging him and step away only for the excitable man to appear between him and the prince, which also dislodged Hunter's hand from Cam's arm.

"Dude! Really? Like, we should totally catch up!" Prince Hunter cleared his throat and Dustin turned around sheepishly. "Uh, em, unless you want to borrow him?" After all, Cam was the son of a duke, though he was rather surprised that Cam had not made Duke after his father's death. "But it's like been a really long time since I've seen him, and so could I like have him first?"

Cam cleared his throat, a rather mild glare sent Dustin's way as he gained the attention of both a Count and Prince. "As amusing as it is for two members of the gentry to argue over the time of a servant I have errands of my own to run." Dustin looked sheepish again and Cam suppressed a groan, obviously those lessons on 'focus' had been forgotten as soon as the other man left his tutelage.

"I thought you said that your duke had given you the afternoon off." Hunter crossed his arms over his chest and gave him a rather moody look.

My, my, dark and broody as well as royalty. You sure know how to pick them Cam-cam!

'Shut. Up.' Cam thought at the amulet, not at all amused by it's mental giggle. "I have errands of my own your Highness. Do your think a servant without errands even on the best of days?" In all honesty Cam had not been planning on running errands today but as it was he could use the time to buy some things he would need in order to accomplish the mission of 'keep Prince Hunter a bachelor'. Like some knives, maybe a katana, and a few trinkets that Cam could enchant. Enchanting inanimate objects was something that Cam did very well, and if it was not for his plan to get revenge on his Uncle; Cam could probably be doing quite well on his own earning money that way.

"Ah. Then you will not mind if I accompany you." Hunter stated and Cam cursed his luck. Why couldn't he have wound up with a stupid prince, or one who thought servant beneath his notice? No he ended up with an intelligent prince who was obviously interested in him and just as obviously always got what he wanted.

"You may do as you wish, your highness. Good day Count Dustin."

Cam knew that this was going to be the talk of the town by the end of the day if the news was not spreading already. Prince Hunter was out shopping with a young man! The samurai rolled his eyes as yet another shopkeeper leered at the two of them, only to find himself facing the prince's glare, Hunter's personal form of pain and retribution without even lifting a finger. Of course Cam was trying to hide his own glare of pain and retribution but every time Hunter plucked an object from his fingers and paid for it made Cam want to strangle him.

"I may have been a servant but I am not without resources!" Cam stated, softly but firmly, glaring at the blasé blond. Hunter smiled at him, baby blues sparkling as they sat across from each other in a secluded booth.

"No, but I am treating you. Both to the shopping trip and to lunch." Hunter stated just as softly and firmly as Cam had and the samurai found himself blushing slightly. It was a little unnerving to have to face this kind of attention especially from a prince. The only one who had ever lavished attention on him before had been Dustin, who Cam only saw as a younger brother figure. Hunter though... the son of a famed wind master could definitely see the political ramifications to marrying such a man, but Cam could also see the physical reasons to take such a risk. Hunter was really quite good looking, tall but not too tall with sparkling blue eyes and tousled blond hair. He was well built, the ninja training had not turned him into a hulking mass of muscle made him into the lithe type of ninja Dustin was instead it had made the body fit the man, hard muscles working under the clothes that were at just the right tightness to show them off...

Hunter reached over and bopped him lightly on the head, causing a surprised exclamation from his companion. "You were staring." He told Cam dryly enjoying the flush that quickly suffused Cam's entire face and crept far enough to disappear under Cam's neckline, idly Hunter wondered just how far the blush went. He wondered if he would get the chance to find out.

Control yourself Cam! The amulet commented just as dryly as Hunter had. You're acting like a mare in heat, all you need to do is start whinnying and all those pretty little stallions'll come running.

Cam wondered if the amulet's comments kept getting odder and odder or if he was just steadily going insane. "Prince Hunter, not that I do not appreciate you spending your time with one so lowly as I," He ignored the prince's amused snort, "but I am afraid that I really must be getting back to my duties. Duke Lothor may have given me time off but he will notice my absence has been prolonged later then usual today and grow... irritated."

"Plus you have to get back and hide that stuff from your Uncle right?" Cam startled, turning wide eyes on the sly prince before hiding his surprise and shame.

"I do not know what you are talking about Prince Hunter, I really must be going." Cam stood and made for the door as quickly as he could, which was not as fast as he would have been without the heavy shopping bags.

"Wait!" Hunter was standing there, in the middle of a crowded restaurant full of gossips and shouting at him. Great. Hopefully his Uncle would not connect his break with this 'mysterious stranger with the prince'. "Lunch was good right?" And the prince seemed... worried about his opinion?

Cam smiled, cocking his head and giving the other man a wink. "Lunch was really good, your highness." And then he walked out the door.

Hunter sipped at his wine as he watched the servants flutter about at the royal wedding banquet for Tori and Blake. He had neither seen hide nor hair of Cam since their shopping spree but since he stayed as far away from Duke Lothor and his crazy daughters as he could Hunter figured that might be one of the reasons. Now though it was his brother's wedding and he had thought that maybe Cam would show up for a little bit, especially if he was who Hunter suspected he was; the missing son of the former wind master Kanoi. It would make sense...

The blond's thoughts were disturbed by a commotion at the end of the hall, another guest had arrived apparently though this one was far later then the others. Far past fashionably late and straight into dishonorable. He stood and ignored the look Blake shot at him, he would teach this guy to interrupt his brother's wedding!

His breath caught in his throat as he saw the vision that stood in the doorway.
