Kaoru sighed. Misao continued to glare at her. "Now, how do you expect us to get out of this mess! We're now the king's maid for Pete's sakes to! Your kingdom's enemy, your majesty" she shouted at Kaoru while they were in their small rooms. Then Misao pointed to Kaoru's clothes "and look what you have to wear! This isn't decent for a princess!" Kaoru sighed. Misao had been very upset with her and was complaining about everything. Today they were going to meet the prince and carry out his orders. Misao and Kaoru, obviously, started to fret about it. "Yo" Sano suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Uh, hi?" said Misao. "It's time you've met the prince" Sano "but will you guys at least take a bath!" Misao and Kaoru then realized they haven't taken a bath in a day. They were covered in dirt and- smelly. "The bath house for servants is down the hall. I'll come and get you girls when you're done." he said and left. Misao stared at Kaoru "you don't even look like a princess" "and you don't even look like a princess's best friend". Then they started laughing. "Alright I forgive you" Misao said after their laughter died down. "Misao! You're the greatest!" Kaoru said hugging Misao. "Oh gosh…. Your majesty….. You stink!" Then Kaoru swatted Misao.

"I feel so better now….." Kaoru said to Misao. "Yeah…. Although the bath wasn't much… I worshipped it" Then they spotted Sano and he whistled "You two look good! Shame you two weren't born in nobility. Anyways… The prince is waiting! Took you girls long enough!" Sano led the two girls to the prince's chambers.

(Kenshin's pov… well almost)

Kenshin was annoyed. Really annoyed. Why? Today he just had 20 bickering princesses flood through his castle, trying to seduce him. Before the great King Hiko's death, by Shishio Makoto, he commanded Kenshin to be married. If Kenshin wasn't married be the age of 20, Kenshin would have to marry this damned princess in Hiko's will. Not that he ever bothered to read the will he was getting curious by the days to opened the parchment and read the name of this lady. Thanks to the king, ever since Hiko announced that, princesses have flocked to Kenshin, trying to seduce him. At the same time, Kenshi didn't feel oblige to love another woman after she came along, from the kingdom of Kamiya. Right now the entertainer started to get to his last nerve. All Kenshin ever wanted was a girl who wasn't vain, didn't waste money clothing herself in jewels and quality dresses. He also desired her to be beautiful- no breath taking. While Kenshin was busy off day dreaming about his dream girl, Sano came in with a girl that will change his fate.

(Normal pov?)

"Yo Kenshin!" Kaoru and Misao gasped. Never in their life have they ever seen such a beautiful man. He had red hair and violet eyes. He was in shape and muscular. There was a woman in the room trying to seduce him while he was doing his work and he looked- bored. Then his head snapped up when he saw Kaoru. Then his face immediately turned to his soft features. Kenshin stared at Kaoru for a while…. To him Kaoru was like a goddess. Her eyes, the color of crystal blue. Her lips full and red as wine. He looked down at her legs and they were long and feminine. She was indeed beautiful. "Hello Sano. And these two lovely ladies are….?" The young king asked. "This is Kaoru and Misao. They'll be your new maids." Sano replied with a goofy smile. "I don't need more maids" the king replied. Which Kaoru's and Misao's sprits lifted in hope that they wouldn't have to work their butt's off. "Give Misao to Aoshi. I bet she'll serve him well." Kaoru's and Misao's heart fell. "And Kaoru well….. I'll keep her… She may be very useful" he said with a wicked smile and a deep voice. A deep sexy voice Kaoru thought to herself. Then she snapped out of it "WHAT!" Misao and Kaoru cried at the same time. "You heard his majesty" Sano said. Kaoru glanced at the entertainer, who was fuming with silent rage. Then Sano grabbed Misao and led her out of her chambers. Kaoru could hear Misao screamed at the separation. Then she saw the king excuse the entertainer.

An awkward silence was ringing around the room. "So this is the famed king? I think my father met him once……. Oh well whatever" Kaoru thought to herself. "What are you going to make me do for you, your majesty?" Kaoru asked in a bored voice- a voice she didn't need to use, especially if she wasn't thinking about using it. The king chuckled "don't you know that you should address me with an address?" he asked her. "Forgive me, your majesty," Kaoru replied with a hint of sarcasm. This man was starting to bug her now. No, really bug her. The king looked at her with a shocked face then recovered, "well miss, start cleaning my chambers while I'll go out for a bit. And I want it spotless in 10minutes" "But-""Spotless," and he left. "AAAAARGH!" Kaoru ranted. Then she saw a piece of blank parchment and ink. "Time to contact father- now" and she started scribbling the letter away. Then Kaoru dashed out of the king's chambers and gave the parchment to the messenger boy, "the king told me to send this to the King Kamiya" Kaoru told the boy with hints of sweetness. But he earned a bump on his from calling Kaoru ugly. Then Kaoru hurried back to the chambers, but in the room was none other than the king himself. "Kaoru, you didn't even clean this place up! And when I leave and come back after ten minutes, it's not even spot-less! I'll have to teach you a lesson" the king said with a hint of mischief in his voice. Oh crap was all Kaoru could think to herself and start running and screaming around the room from the king.
