Yo! This fic is back! Haha.. sorry for the long wait guys.. ^_^ I was really busy..

The last chapter that I gave you was too much of a cliff hanger isn't it.. now.. here's the next chapter! Hope you guys like it~ enjoy!

Rei: Let me say it.. Hira-chan doesn't own Pandora Hearts… That would be impossible..

^_^*: I'll be wishing for it this Christmas.. yahah!

Rei: *sigh*

Oz can only stare in shock on what is currently happening. He was too surprised by the action that he wasn't able to make anything at all, or even think. The kiss only lasted a few seconds and Alice smiled at him after. It seems like she's indifferent about the kiss.

"A-Alice?" He managed to say after slowly regaining his mind back that seemed to have escaped him few seconds ago.

"There! That will be the proof of our contract!" The girl smiled triumphantly at him.

*What happened? Is this Zero no Tsukaima?* -gets ignored by the characters-

The word slowly sinks inside Oz's mind. "Contract?"

"Before my father left me, he said that a kiss serves as a sign of a contract. He said that it means that you will be linked together! What do you think its perfect right? No need to praise me." The girl laughed as if what just happened was just a petty thing. It also looks like she was kind of proud over some achievement.

Linked together? Isn't that marriage? What the hell did Alice learned from his father? He sweatdropped at the thought. But since the girl didn't give much thinking about the thing. He might as well ignore it.

'Ignore' huh..

"Shut it."

But still he can't help himself but to blush. What the heck is wrong with him? To hide his red face from the Alice's eyes, Oz turned around. Trying to escape as soon as possible.

"Goodnight." Then he walked a way in a hurried manner. He even clumsily bumped himself on the door when he forgot that it was still closed yet.

-Oz glares at the door-

It isn't the door's fault. It's yours.

-Oz glares at the authoress and still blushing madly-

He has his head gone haywire! Oz tried to laugh his embarrassment off, and opened the door while holding his hurt forehead. Just as his foot stepped outside, the prince ran away, trying to leave the scene of the crime as fast as he could.

Tee-hee… : 3

"Shut up stupid authoress!"

-Ignores Oz-

Great authoress you mean. –grinning at Oz-

You forgot something, dear. –throws the apple-

"Thank you." Oz sarcastically replied, still not being able to wipe the blush off his face. He wouldn't dare look at Alice right now. Not that he have the courage to do so.

"Shut up authoress!"

As if I'd do that, this story would not go on if I'm not here you know?. –Ignores Oz-

Now going back to the story…

Oz unsurprisingly got away fast from Alice's house, thanks for his constant running and tripping along the way. He really can't forget about the kiss!

"Arrrrgh!" Oz frustratedly grunted. If he won't be able to calm himself down before he gets back to their castle, by the time he arrived his father would freak out seeing him looking like he dove on dirt.

Who wouldn't?

The once, clean and looking oh-so-princely Oz Vessalius had his hair in disarray- thanks to the twigs and trees he met earlier, His clothes full of dust- courtesy of him tripping every five meters of walk, or should I say dazing out while walking, his face full of gashes- thanking those trees which he bumped along the way.

And he is sure as hell that if he won't be regaining his composure right away, he might end up in a hospital after getting home. Oz didn't even know that he has this kind of clumsiness within him. He knew he is a manipulator, but never had he seen himself loose his composed evil self and becoming the clumsiest person in the world!

Oz looked at the whole place, he is almost near the castle, inside the wide gardens of his father. A garden that could be compared to a forest I might add. He wondered what kind of insect got inside the head of King Jack Vessalius to make such garden as this. The prince sat on the ground before him, not even minding if it was grass.

"…" He sighed and lied down, gazing at the stars above, thinking of the incidents that happened earlier.

Again... How did all of these happen in a day?

Alice's smirk flashed his mind, and he can't help but to smile. He had never seen such an expression on a face of a girl. Most of the girls he had met so far are submissive, girls that with just one look will be blushing at you, covering their faces with their fans immediately. Girls that will be melting with just one smile from him. But Alice…

"Alice…" He chuckled, completely unaware that he totally forgot about the kissing scene he had earlier. At least for now.

Back at the White Witch of the Forest…

Abyss happily gallops on her way home, for she was certain that her rival on beauty will be dead in no time. Well, no one survived the things she cooked so far. All those girls that she thinks that are more beautiful than her, she killed them all. Making them eat apples, just like what would happen to 'Alice'.

"It's those stupid girls's fault. They are too naïve. And no one that outshines my beauty shall remain alive in this world" Abyss laughed creepily. And of course you can probably hear the sound of thunder and the lightning flashes at the background.

'Thud' was the sound of her head hitting her door. Abyss was too occupied with her thought that she didn't notice that she is in front of her house, causing her to hit her head on her wooden door because of not paying too much attention.

Idiot~

-glares at the authoress- Abyss slammed the door after getting inside.

Back at Alice's house…

The girl isn't really thinking that much about the actions she did earlier. She really thought of the kiss as a signature of some contract, and enjoying the food that Oz made for him. It is beef stew.

".. The brat can really cook... impressive." Said Alice while munching her food, almost not minding if she was taking large chunks of meat.

"But I'm the one who's more impressive for choosing him as my slave! HAHAHAHA!" you can probably hear Alice's laugh right now.

Just outside the kitchen, Alice's step sisters- Ada and Gil and also her stepmother are watching her in pure curiosity. Wondering if the youngest member of the family finally lost her head. Alice is talking to no one in particular.

No one at all.

And as a normal person, when you hear somebody laughing out loud and you know that it is the most all of member of your family, you would want to know what the heck happened. They were not at home for the three of them took a stroll on the town. Buying clothes and stuffs. Of course they brought something for Alice too, even if they know that she won't appreciate it.

"She lost it…"

"Don't say that, Gil..."

"My poor Alice-chan~"

"kekeke… The brat is—"

But before the creepy doll said the word, it was glared by Ada. Wanting the doll to stop whatever is going to get out of is mouth, if it has any because Emily can speak. Break seconded the motion and glared murderously at the doll who kept its silent, shivering from fear.

Ada stepped in the kitchen concerned for the mental state of her younger sister. "A-Alice-chan..?"

"Huh?" Alice growled dangerously as she felt a presence inside her territory, more so somebody calling her while she is enjoying her meal. Because…

'IT IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO DISTURB ALICE IN HER MEALS'

"What do you want?" said Alice, surprisingly not that pissed off at the moment.

Unlike to Break and Gil, her treatment with Ada is different, they may only be half sisters but Alice doesn't feel any irritation with her. Unlike for her step mother and her other sister, they were downright getting into her nerves even if she just saw them. That's why she always leaves the house and goes somewhere else. Together with her precious meat.

Ada paused, not ready on what she was going to say. "Ah… hm… e..to…"

Gil gulped while Break only covered her smile with her purple fan, waiting on the next thing that is going to happen.

"That's quite an a-amazing dish you are eating.. May I know how did you cook it?" Ada smiled awkwardly, not really sure if her sister will buy her impromptu alibi.

Of course, Alice fell for it. *looks at readers* you are not expecting her to notice don't you?

"Why would I do that? My servant made it for me." Then Alice continued savoring her food.

"S-servant…?"

*crumbles on the floor* wahh~
