A/N Kayla: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh *Still running from Taylor*

Me: *Sigh*

Caroline: *On butt laughing*

Chelsea: *Sweat drops* how long have they been at it?

Me: Three hours… Okay enough of this *Grabs Cluby as Taylor goes by and hits his in the head with it knocking her out* there we go.

Caroline: Hey!

Me: She'll wake up before this chapter's done… I don't own anything!

Kayla: *Passes out from running*

"Ikuto~ nya?" Yoru asked as his owner was still unconscious on Carpet, who managed to save him at the very last minute.

Ikuto moaned and Carpet slowly sat him up as Ikuto became conscious. Ikuto grabbed his head, "Oh, my aching head…" he said.

"Ikuto~ nya!" Yoru said happily.

Ikuto glared at Yoru and the chara flinched, "What part of don't touch anything did you not understand?" Ikuto asked.

"U-uh," Yoru said, "Sorry?"

Ikuto sighed and looked up and glared at what he saw, "Trapped…" he stated, "Great. First you don't listen, then that old man tricks us and tries to kill me, now this."

Ikuto then remembered his prized procession. His hand went to his pocket and pulled out the key and instantly relaxed; "I didn't lose it…" he said quietly and put it back in his pocket.

"Ikuto!" Yoru said and held up the lamp, "Nya!"

Ikuto smirked and took the lamp, "Little thieving cat…"

"Nya!" Yoru said proudly.

Ikuto looked at the lamp, "What did that old man want this for anyway?" he asked, "It looks useless…"

Yoru looked at the lamp too, "Hey~ nya," Yoru said, "I think there's something written on it."

Ikuto squinted, "Yeah, but I can't read it…" he said and tried to rub off some dust to try and see it better.

Suddenly, the lamp began to shake in Ikuto's hands causing him to jump slightly, "NYA!" Yoru yelled and hid behind his owner.

Suddenly, green smoke came from the lamp and Ikuto and Yoru coughed. Once the smoke was gone Ikuto and Yoru looked and were shocked. There stood a boy that looked about 16 years old. He had messy brown hair and green eyes. He wore a green sports jersey with a yellow number one on the front with green shorts that came to his knees and green and white tennis shoes. He also held a soccer ball under his right arm. Floating above his shoulder was a chara. He had mint green hair and light brown eyes. He wore the same outfit as the boy only yellow replaced the green and had a white number one on the jersey. Ikuto blinked, "Do you have any idea how long we've been in that tiny little lamp dude?" the boy asked.

"Ten thousand years!" the chara said.

Ikuto and Yoru just blinked again, "Anyway…" the boy said, "Name's Souma Kukai and this here's my chara Daichi."

"Hey!" Daichi said.

Ikuto finally got his composer back, "You just came out of a lamp…" he stated looking at the lamp (okay so he wasn't fully composed).

"Yep," Kukai said and bounce the soccer ball on his knees and ankle, "And since you're a little slow at the moment I'll go ahead and connect the dots for ya. I'm a genie and you're my master."

Ikuto shook his head, "Say what now?" he asked.

Kukai caught the soccer ball in his hands, "Yep," and to prove his point the soccer ball floated in the air, "So, you two have names? Or do we just call ya Masters?"

"Ikuto," Ikuto stated, "And this is my chara Yoru."

"Well, that's certainly a cooler name then my last master," Kukai said laughing.

"Yeah, that guy had a thing for sandwiches and girls…" Daichi said.

"Eh," Kukai shrugged, "Oh well, can't pick who rubs the lamp."

"So, you're a genie?" Yoru asked.

Kukai and Daichi laughed, "I never would've guessed Yoru was your chara," Daichi said laughing.

"Now, seeing how it's taking you some time to wrap this around your head," Kukai said smiling, "I may not be much of a singer…but…"

Kukai snapped his fingers and what little light there was disappeared and Kukai and Daichi were in a spot light, "Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves. Scheherezad-ie had a thousand tales. But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeves you got a brand of magic never fails. You got some power in your corner now. Some heavy ammunition in your camp you got some punch, pizazz, yahoo and how. See all you gotta do is rub that lamp, and we'll say Mister Ikuto, sir what will your pleasure be? Let us take your order jot it down. You ain't never had a friend like us. No no no. Life is your restaurant and we're your maitre d'! C'mon whisper what it is you want. You ain't never had a friend like us. Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service. You're the boss, the king, the shah. Say what you wish. It's yours! True dish how about a little more Baklava? Have some of column "A" Try all of column "B" we're in the mood to help you dude. You ain't never had a friend like us. Can your friends do this? Do your friends do that?

You got a genie for your charge d'affaires I got a powerful urge to help you out. So what-cha wish? We really wanna know. You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt. Well, all you gotta do is rub like so - and oh Mister Ikuto, sir, have a wish or two or three. We're on the job, you big nabob. You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend. You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend. You ain't never had a friend like us. You ain't never had a friend like us, hah!"

Kukai now had a flashing sign above his head that said "applause". Carpet clapped after the little show, "So, you got three wishes," Kukai stated, "What'll be?"

Ikuto smirked, "So, I get three wishes right?" he asked, "Is that three wishes each?"

Kukai laughed, "Believe it or not, you're the first person to ask that," he said and kicked the soccer ball on his knee, "No, just three, not three wishes each, just three."

"Okay…" Ikuto said, "And I can wish for anything?"

"Well," Daichi said, "There are a few…rules."

Kukai caught his ball, "Yeah," he stated, "Rule One: we can't kill anybody. So, you don't like someone you'll just have to deal. Rule Two: we can't make someone fall in love with someone else. Trust me, if I could, I'd be surrounded by girls. And finally Rule Three: we can't bring anyone back from the dead. It ain't pretty dude."

"But other than that, you're free as a bird!" Daichi said.

"Yep," Kukai said then started playing with his ball again.

Ikuto sat on a rock with Kukai and Daichi's lamp beside him. He then remembered they were trapped with no way out. I don't want to waste a wish on that, but they seem to be the only way out of here, but if I were to somehow trick them…Ikuto smirked it shouldn't be that hard to trick a 16 year old… Kukai looked at Ikuto, "Is that smirk a permanent part of your face or something?" he asked while still bouncing his ball.

"Hmm," Ikuto said standing up, "So, about your little rules Kukai…that means limitations right?"

"Uh, sure," Kukai said, "Why?"

Ikuto smirked and chuckled, "So does the little genie not get off his training wheels until he's older?" he teased.

"What!" Kukai yelled his ball rolling away forgotten, "What does that mean?"

"It's just, you're a kid," Ikuto stated still smirking, "And I've never heard of a genie with limitations before…so you're still in training correct."

Kukai and Daichi's face turned red in anger making Ikuto's smirk widen, "Come on Yoru," Ikuto said, "We better find a way out of here while these two kids throw a temper tantrum."

"Nya?" Yoru said confused.

Ikuto turned his back away from Kukai and Daichi still smirking 3, 2, 1, "Not wait just a minute!" Kukai and Daichi yelled suddenly in front of Ikuto, "Did you rub our lamp? Did you wake us up? Yes you did! And we are not KIDS! You'll get your wishes!"

Ikuto and Yoru fell on Carpet when Kukai and Daichi yelled kids. Kukai stood on the edge of Carpet with his ball under his arm, "Alright Daichi, let's show 'em," Kukai said.

"Right!" Daichi said.

Carpet flew towards the closed exit and a green aura surrounded Kukai's soccer ball and a star clip appeared in his hair must be a character change. Kukai kicked the ball creating a hole and they easily flew out of their "prison".

~At the Palace

"Tadase," Tsumugu said angrily with Amu and her charas beside him, "You had no right to kill the boy without evidence. From now on you'll have to set punishments with me."

"Yes, your heinous," Tadase said bowing with Kiseki.

"Good," Tsumugu said, "Now Amu, why don't you and Tadase put this behind you?"

Amu glared at her father and then at Tadase, "Not in this lifetime," Amu said and started to walk away with her charas following, "I don't want him anywhere near me!"

"Amu!" Tsumugu said running after his angered daughter.

Once Tadase and Kiseki were alone Tadase glared at nothing, "I now see why the princess took a liking to the boy…" he growled, "They're both impossible to work with!"

"Not to mention, when Amu becomes queen she can easily," Kiseki gulped, "Behead us."

Tadase and his chara rubbed their necks, "Hopefully, the princess will run away again before the king can find the girl a husband," Tadase said.

"Oh!" Kiseki said, "But, what if you were the husband?"

"What?" Tadase said shocked.

"If you were the husband then you'd be king and we can throw Wifey and Papa-in-law off a cliff," Kiseki said laughing at the end.

Tadase smirked, "Not a bad idea Kiseki," he said chuckling, "Not bad at all."

~An Oasis

Carpet landed, "And thank you for flying Magic Carpet Airlines," Kukai said smirking.

Ikuto smirked back and got off Carpet, "How was that for two kids!" Daichi yelled happily.

"Oh, you two sure showed me …" Ikuto said still smirking, "Now about my three wishes."

"Three?" Kukai said laughing, "I think you mean two dude."

"Ah, ah, ah," Ikuto said, "I never wished to get out of the cave; you two did that on your own."

Kukai and Daichi were about to retort, but their mouths (literally) hit the ground in realization, "Well, that explains the smirk…" Kukai said glaring playfully, "Alright, bad boy, but no more freebees."

"Fair enough," Ikuto said shrugging, "But now the question remains: what to wish for."

Kukai made a hemic appear and in lay down inside with Daichi on top of his head. Ikuto turned to Kukai and his chara, "What would you two wish for?" he asked wanting something to go on.

Kukai sat up in shock, "Us?" he asked.

"Yeah, I need something to go on," Ikuto said.

Kukai stood up and the hemic disappeared, "No one's asked us that before," Daichi said.

"Well, I seem to be a lot of firsts for you guys," Ikuto said smirking lightly, "Now what would you two wish for if I were the genie?"

Yoru sat on Ikuto shoulder curious. Kukai and Daichi looked at each other than looked at Ikuto and said in unison, "Freedom."

Ikuto looked at the lamp he had, "You're prisoners?" he asked somewhat sadly.

"Eh," Kukai said, "Comes with the gig. PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS!" he grew in size and his voice echoed then he and Daichi shank into the lamp, "Itty-bitty living space!"

Ikuto felt bad now, "That sounds horrible…how can both of you fit in there?" he asked.

"It's very tight!" Daichi said as he and Kukai exited the lamp.

"Yeah," Kukai said, "But the only way we can be free is if our master wishes us free. Guess how many times that happens."

Ikuto looked at Kukai and his chara, "But you look human," he said, "How'd you get stuck as a genie?"

"Let's just say…don't date a witch with anger problems," Kukai said, "But the good part is I haven't aged a day!"

Ikuto chuckled lightly and looked at Kukai, "Well, here's another first for you two," he said, "I'll wish you free."

Kukai about lost his balance in shock, "What?" he asked.

Ikuto smirked, "I'll wish you two free; after my first two wishes of course," he said.

"No tricks?" Kukai asked raising an eyebrow.

Ikuto shook his head and Kukai and Daichi's eyes brightened, "Then let's get this party started!" Kukai yelled, "Now, what is it that you want?"

"Oh, oh!" Yoru said raising his paw, "I know! He wants Princess Amu!"

"Yoru!" Ikuto yelled a slight blush on his cheeks.

"Well, I'd like to help, but I can't make anyone fall in love," Kukai said.

"Right…~ nya," Yoru said, "Sorry Ikuto."

Ikuto leaned against a tree with his arms crossed, "Is there something about this girl that's special?" Daichi asked.

Ikuto sighed, "We just met once," he stated, "She doesn't even know my name. But, she hides her true self under a mask that apparently only I can see through. She has four charas all extremely different…she's different…"

Ikuto slowly smiled as he talked about Amu. Kukai smirked, "Is she pretty?" he asked Ikuto when he was done talking.

Ikuto sighed, "Beautiful would be an extreme understatement," he said, "She has beautiful, silky pink hair and these golden eyes that you can easily get lost in…but what am I saying?" Ikuto stood up straight, "I'm a Street rat and she's a princess. There's no way I could have a chance unless I was a-" Ikuto stopped and looked at Kukai, "Could you make me a prince?"

Kukai snapped his fingers and what looked like a cookbook appeared, "Uh, let's see…" he said looking through the book, "Chicken a la King," he pulled out a chicken with a crown, "Nope," he threw the chicken somewhere, "Alaskan King Crab-ow!" a crab grabbed his finger, "I hate when that happens," he threw the crab somewhere, "Caesar salad? AAAAAAH!" a knife came out of the book, "Et tu, Brute?" Kukai pushed the knife back in the book, "Ah!" he stated, "To Make a Prince. Now is that an official wish? Say the magic words."

Ikuto had been chuckling and Yoru was rolling on the ground laughing. Ikuto smirked at Kukai, "Kukai, Daichi," he said, "I wish for you to make me a prince."

"Alright!" Daichi yelled.

Kukai was suddenly dressed like a fashion designer, "Daichi, work on Yoru," he said, "Make him…not look like himself."

Daichi gave his owner a thumbs up and dragged Yoru away. Kukai turned to Ikuto and frowned, "What's with these clothes?" he asked, "What are you trying to say? Beggar?"

Ikuto glared at Kukai, "Oh, well," Kukai said, "Time to change-"

"Wait!" Ikuto said and took the key out of his pocket, "Okay, go."

Kukai was confused, but changed Ikuto a new set of clothes in a flash, "Wa-la!" Kukai said and made a mirror appear.

Ikuto now wore a long sleeved dark blue shirt with gems on the sides with black pants and shoes. He also wore a small golden crown. Ikuto blinked and put the key into the pocket of his new pants, "Not bad kid," Ikuto said smirking.

"Watch it," Kukai said frowning, "Daichi!"

"Done!" Daichi said pulling a nicely dressed Yoru, "What do ya think?"

Yoru was still a cat, but his fur was now black and his golden eyes were a dark green. His outfit was now a copy of Ikuto's, "Not bad Daichi!" Kukai said giving his chara a thumbs up.

Ikuto was about to say something, but Kukai cut him off, "But we're not done yet," he said, "Not only do you have to look rich; you have to show it!"

Kukai and Daichi suddenly made tons of things appear in the small oasis. This is going to take a while Ikuto thought annoyed and put his hands in his pockets again and gripped the key inside tightly.
