Sephi: I'm sorry. This chapter ended up being ridiculously short too. But I couldn't write more in this particular chapter because there will be another time lapse soon afterwards.

Rune: Speaking of time lapses, we wrote this chapter on an airplane.

Sephi: We're coming home at last! God bless America!

Rune: …You scare me sometimes…

Sephi: How was that scary?! Oh, and before I start, I need to answer another review. So, to A Contemplated Rock: Thanks for the awesome review!!! I loved it!! Many people seem to like Neru's random part in the storyline. Also, about Gakupo's over-comical character, I got the part where he gets thrown into a cage from some random review on youtube (like I said, not my plot). As for the POV changes, if I didn't have many of them per chapter, then all of my chapters would be under 500 words each, but I'll try not to change it too often, kay?

Rune: And thanks for telling Sephi that she's lazy, at last…

Chapter 7- Falling in Love Part 2

Kaito's POV

Ugh. The conference with the Daughter of Evil is finally over! And now I have to go back to interviewing girls. Joy. Ok, not as if I'm that happy about it, but it's still way better than having to sit there with the Yellow Queen gawking at me like that.

But now I'm being bored to death. It was kinda more interesting to listen to the advisors yap on and on about politics, and it was, well, interesting to find out that the Daughter of Evil had a twin brother who was her servant. I had asked Megurine Luka-san, the Yellow Kingdom's advisor, and she told me that he became a servant to his own sister as a punishment for inexcusable rudeness. It makes me wonder who exactly it was that he offended. Hmm… The way that the Daughter of Evil spoke to him, I don't think that it was her.

Miku's POV

Ok, my plan was set and ready. I would approach the Prince of Blue as if I was just minding my own business. Then, I'd bump into him by 'mistake', and say in a casual voice, "Why hello? It's nice to meet you." And I would smile at him, the same smile that charms so many people to me.

The conference with the Yellow Kingdom was over now, so he might wander back to the Green Kingdom.

"Miku-chan, are you going out again?! That's the fifth time this week!" Ah. Drat. I was caught by Haku-chan yet again.

"Uh, yeah. I have business to attend to." My excuses are so lame…

"Again? Why, are you meeting someone or something?" You're such a sly sly fox, Haku-chan.

"Yeah, kinda." I chuckled. I just can't lie to Haku-chan. Even if I do try, she always catches me.

Haku smiled. "Well then, don't let me get in your way." And now she had the completely wrong idea!

"Uh, yeah. Thanks, Haku-chan."

Jeez, is the Prince of Blue ever planning to come?! I've been here for like, two hours already.

"Can I have ice cream please?" I turned and stared at the back of the guy who was buying ice cream. Ice cream, of all the things. Who eats ice cream when the weather's this cold? Negi is so much better…

The ice cream guy turned around. I looked at the strange mans' face. No way! He's the Blue Prince?!

But I should continue my plan anyway. It is my duty as the unknown Daughter of Green to do what I must for my country in Mikuo's place.

I walked near him, pretending to shop. I already had a bushel of negi in a basket. As he approached me, I suddenly turned around and dropped my basket, pretending to be shocked that someone was nearby.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you like that. Here, let me pick up your basket for you."

And you better not spill any ice cream on my precious negi.

Calm down, Miku, calm down. "Why, thank you. You're very kind. Are you from around here? It was very nice to meet you." I smiled at him. He was c-a-u-g-h-t in my trap. The plan was going perfectly.

"You're welcome, miss. I happen to be from the Blue Kingdom."

"The Blue Kingdom?" I gasped in pretend shock. "You don't happen to be his majesty, the Prince of Blue!"

He chuckled. Well, he was handsome, I guess. But what was with the ice cream?!

"You needn't be so polite with me, miss. The gods only know how bored I get because of respect back at home. Would I get the pleasure of knowing your name as well?"

I smiled at him. This was so easy!

"My name is Miku. I am a village girl, and I live in the merchants' manor beyond that road."

"Then would I get the pleasure of visiting your home sometimes, Miku-chan?"

"Why of course! But please come during the nights only. I am very busy during the day."

"Will do." And he leaned down to kiss my hand. Well, I am a princess, technically.

Kaito's POV

I met the most delightful girl today! Her charm and beauty cannot be compared to the girls I must interview. Her name is Miku-chan. How very nostalgic. She even looked a lot like my late friend, Hatsune Mikuo. Both Mikuo-kun and Miku-chan were very capable of curing my boredom.

I hope to be able to meet her often, that Miku-chan.

Sephi: Like I said, it was…a short…chapter…zzz

Rune: Hey! Don't fall asleep now!

Sephi: …zzz…

Rune: (rolls eyes) Please R&R so that she'll wake up and write more. Thanks.
