Chapter Three: It's Almost Time

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" Atsuya yelled his whole face burning from anger as he slammed his hand on the table. The whole board jumped up a little and the slam made some of the chess pieces to fell down. What was the spiky-haired boy thinking, him marrying HITOMI? His childhood friend, a maid and moreover his PERSONAL maid... Never in his life had the crown prince thought of that option.

Gouenji started the pink-haired princes reaction and backed off a little to lean against his seat to better his sitting stance. He knew that his friend would get angry from his comment, but never thought that he would get this angry. Gouenji fixed his stance a little and coughed few times. He then opened his eyes and stared at the tomato red crown prince. "No. Actually I'm rather serious" he then said with formal and earnest tone.

Atsuya stared back at his confident friend and felt his anger fading away. He broke the glance between the boys and sighed. The crown prince felled down onto his marvelous seat and lowered his stare at the floor. He didn't know what to say. Like it was already known, the crown prince had never thought of that option and now felt himself really confused about the sudden suggestion. Would it be right? Would Hitomi really agree to marry him? Atsuya covered his face with his palm and sighed loudly.

"Really, I'm sure that she would be perfect for you." Gouenji smirked at his friends reaction and tried to cheer him up. Atsuya glanced at Gouenji from under his palm and glared at the spiky-haired boy. He didn't like the air in the room, there was something really wrong. There was something really forceful in the tone of his friend and the prince didn't like it. If only something would come and broke this air. If only someone...

All of a sudden there was a light knock on the door and then it opened. Behind it appeared a cinnamon-haired girl with maroon colored eyes. She walked in and bowed before staring to talk. "I'm really sorry to disturb you, your majesty but the afternoon tea is ready."

Atsuya changed his glance from the spiky-haired boy to the cinnamon haired girl and stood up. "Thank you. I was already getting little thirsty." Atsuya answered formally, but inside his head he was jumping from happiness and would have gone and hugged the girl for saving him, if Gouenji had not been in the same room as he was.

Hitomi let out a light smile and started to prepare the tea on the table, where the boys chess match was still going on. Atsuya sat down and changed his focus on the board while thinking where he should move his piece next.

-OO-

"Where are we going?" Shirou asked with shivering voice as he tried to keep up with the crimson cloaked boy who was walking before him. His whole body was still itching and his walking was clumsy. The crimson haired boy didn't answer to his question, more over it seemed that he didn't even care that the gray-haired boy was talking to him.

The boy only kept walking forward with fast pace and turned to right and left from there and here. Shirou had little difficulties to keep up with the cloaked boy and even though his pace wasn't so fast. Because the boy had short legs any normal and healthy person wouldn't had any problems to follow him, but for Shirou who was badly hurt and was dying from hunger the pace was too fast to keep up with.

"Please tell me, who are you?" Shirou asked wanting to have a conversation with the young boy. He didn't like when it was all silent and moreover he was really considered about the mysterious little boy. Really, what was he? Why was he here? And why did he help him?

"Then, who was that girl you were with?" the gray-haired boy asked in despair as the little boy still refused to talk to him. To tell the truth, he was really curious about the past of the boy and the others whom he had met earlier. They all were really mysterious and he wanted to know more about them, especially about that thing that was coming out of they back.

"Really, can't you talk?" Shirou was more and more in despair. Who were those people? Those boys, those girls? And yesterday... How did know all about him... everything... the girls knew everything about him. Yes, when Shirou had entered the fortune telling shop and before even opening his mouth to speak, the girls had already told him all about his past. What were those girls.

"Hey you... Haru-"

"Don't DAIRE to call meh by meh name!" the little boy finally spoke up. He then stopped and turned to Shirou with a fiery glare in his eyes. For the first time Shirou was able too see what was hidden under the hood of the crimson cloaked boy and was surprised when he saw two fiery gold-colored eyes glaring at him. The boy then turned around and started to walk again.

"You wait... were are you going?" Shirou was still trying to keep up with the little boy, but felt his legs betraying him and felled down. There was a loud THUMP as the gray-haired touched the ground with his whole body. It seemed that the little boy heard him because he stopped, turned around and glared at Shirou.

"Wh- What?" Shirou asked quietly because he didn't like the stare of the cloaked boy. The boy let out a "humph" and turned around.

"Ima not gonna tell yuu, becauseh Baka-neesan told meh to be quieth." he said and took few steps after what he continued walking with the normal pace, not really caring if the gray-haired male was coming after him or no.

"I see..." Shirou sweat dropped and quickly stood up to follow the crimson cloaked boy as he saw him disappearing behind the corner. When Shirou entered the alley where the boy had disappeared, what he saw there made him fall down. A big metallic fence and standing before him, behind what was the palace where the king and his son with all their servants and other nobles lived. Shirous jaw dropped and the stared at the boy with wide-open eyes.

"Don't - Don't tell me we're going there?" the gray-haired boy asked emphazing the word "there" as he pointed at the royal palace. The boy stared at him with his glowing golden eyes and huffed.

"Yesh. Thatat is exactlyh where wey're goingh." he then answered and turned towards the palace. Shirou let out a wide smile as he finally got anwer from the little boy. It was really great to finally have a conversation with this mysterious cloaked kid, but he was bothered by one thing. Why? Why did the boy want to take him to the palace. When the boy once more started to walk Shirou quickly stood up and grinned as he started to follow the boy.

"You just answered me didn't you." he said with joking tone and smiled when he saw the boy turning to him with his golden eyes flaming red. He surely was mad.

"Just joking, just joking." the gray-haired boy laughed. The boy glared at him huffed and then turned away from the gray-haired male. Shirou just smiled and continued following the little boys lead. He didn't even consider about the fact, that someone was spying on them.

-OO-

"Damn that stupid boy, can't he keep his mouth shut just once." hissed a black cloaked girl who was following Shirou and the crimson cloaked boy behind the shadows. She had her hood on her, but you could notice that her amber-colored eyes were burning from anger. There was a dark copper cloaked boy on her lap and he stared at the two with those innocent green-colored eyes of him.

"Nee-e Crys-nee, where is Burn taking him toh?" he asked as he jumped from the girls lap and his feet met the ground. The black cloaked girl turned to look at the boy and when her eyes met his innocent green ones which were staring at her while glowing she sighed and turned to look at Shirou. Her eyes lost their color and she stared at him with serious face.

"It's already time... Time for us to take the action, otherwise, it'll be too late." with those words the girl loosened her hood and a indigo-colored hairdo which was free and laying on her shoulders appeared. She turned around and closed her eyes. "Let's go Hiro-kun, we need to get back to the shop."

The boy first turned back to crimson cloaked boy and Shirou and then back to the indigo haired girl. "Buth what aboutn Burn?" he asked. The girl stopped and turned to look at him with a smile mixed with smirk on her face.

"Don't worry, he'll be just fine." she said and then closed her eyes and breathed deep in and then out. All of sudden a icy-blue aura surrounded her and her hair started to float in the air. The crimson haired boy knew exactly what she was up to, and didn't want to bother her. He stood on his place and only stared at the girl.

'Osamu... How are the things in the shop?' The girl connected her mind to a black cloaked male who was staying at the shop. As an answer she heard a startled shout and something cracking. The girl felt her vein popping... once again he had broke something. Finally, after many long minutes she heard someone answering to her, though with not so happy voice.

'Crystal-sama, please don't startle me like that. You should know very well that I hate when you talking me through our minds.' the male answered to her. The girl hissed and squeezed her fist to keep herself calm.

'And you should know very well that I DO have a real name!' she answered to him with annoyed and angered tone. The boy on the other side kept silent and because the girl was getting more and more angry, she decided to end the conversation as fast as possible. Really, why did she hate so much to talk to him?

'So how the shop? Any costumers?' this time, it didn't took so long for the boy to answer here.

'Yes, there's a girl with short ocean blue hair and golden eyes who wants to know her future. She seems to be around your age.' the male answered almost immediately.

'Which age?' the girl asked, because age of her new client was the most important thing. But why ask which? ... Well you'll find out it later.

'The real one.' was the answer of the boy. The girl thought about it a little and then with carefully choose words she answered him.

'Tell her that I'm on my way already. Say you're really sorry that we make her to wait and serve her a tea or something to kill some time. Do you know if Yuki-chii is back yet?'

'I'm afraid not. It seems that Phlox-sama is still inside the castle together with Gazel-sama and Reize." the boy answered her with apologizing tone.

'Damn. I forgot all about that she's still there. Then there's nothing much for us to do. I'll come there as soon as possible and tell the girls fortune and then we just have to wait when Yuki-chii will be coming back together with the boys.' the indigo-haired girl explained and before the other one had a chance to answer she broke the mind connection between them and returned back to her body. As her mind came back, the blue aura surrounding her disappeared and her hair stopped floating.

"Should we go, Hiro-kun?" the girl smiled as she kneeled down and reached towards the boy. The green-haired kid nodded happily and ran into her lap. The girl stood up and started to walk towards the fortune telling shop.

-OO-

"Here you go." Hitomi said as she placed the tea on the table. Atsuya took the cup and drank a little from it after what placing it on the table again. Gouenji did the same, and then moved his chess piece forward. Atsuya looked at the piece moving and noticed that he was at the death end. He hissed angrily, once again he had lost the match.

"Checkmate. I won." Gouenji smirked happily and took another drink of the tea. Hitomi smiled as she saw the pink-haired prince crossing his hand and pursuing his lip in anger. She then turned to Gouenji and bowed at him before starting to speak.

"Excuse me Gouenji-sama, but I would really like to know where is your bride from." she asked polite. Goeunji glanced at her and smirked. As expected from her asking that kind of question. No wonder she was the most knowledged person inside the whole palace.

"She's from the southeast." the boy answered with a smirk on his face, because he knew just how the girl would react to his answer. Atsuya glanced at his personal maid and saw his maroon colored orbs widening while her mouth went to big "O". Why was she so surprised about it... Sure Gouenjis bride was princess, but HE was the crown prince so there shouldn't be anything surprising about that fact.

"You... you mean she's THE princess on Atlantis kingdom. The most richest kingdom in this country?" Hitomi finally calmed down a little and asked. Gouenji answered to her with mysterious smile and took a drink of his tea. The pink-haired crown prince who was watching their chat beside them was getting annoyed because he didn't know just what they were talking about.

"Just want in the world you mean she's THE princess... so what, I'm THE CROWN PRINCE!" Astuya finally had had enough, he needed explanation. Gouenji and Hitomi turned to him with surprised faces and then glanced at each other while smiling. The spiky haired boy facepalmed, while the cinnamon-haired girl went to one of the closets and took a map from it. The opened the map and started the geography lesson for the stupid crown prince.

"You should know that we have seven different countries in this land right?" Hitomi explained and when she saw the crown prince nodding she continued by pointing at the country which was in the middle of the map and on was written "Snow kingdom."

"Our country... The Snow kingdom is in the middle of all these countries and it's the most powerful country of all of these. Because it's in the middle it's the closest one to all of the countries and so when having conferences, they are always held in our kingdom. Also everyone trust his majesty (A/N: If you didn't get it, she's referring to Atsuyas father) and always ask help from his if there's something wrong or they have problems."

"I get that much." Atsuya hissed because he felt that she threatened him like a little kid who didn't know anything. Hitomi just smiled and then moved her hand to a country which was little under the Snow kingdom in southwest. On the country was written "Atlantis kingdom"

"And this is the country from where Gouenji-samas bride comes from. Her names is Umi Miu and she's probably one of the smartest person I've ever met." Hitomi continued her explanation. Gouenji and Atsuya turned to Hitomi with their eyes little widened. If Hitomi, the most smartest person in the Snow kingdom called someone smarten that her, then what was this person... A genius? Really that's hard to believe. Hitomi stopped for a while, because she noticed that the boys weren't listening and coughed to get their attention back.

"Her country is well know as one of the most richest countries in our land. They're really rich, that at least for noble classes. Yes, the only fatal problem in this country is that the class difference is even bigger and noticable than in other countries. The noble class is way more richer than the most richest noble families in our country, but also the peasants are way more poorer that our are. I think that from this information you could guess that the princess is really rich. To be honest, she's or actually her family is the most riches family in this land and they are twice as rich as the Unicorns royal family, which is known to be the second richest family. The Fubuki family comes in the fourth place, right after Teikoku kingdoms royal family." Hitomi explained without even stopping to breath.

Gouenji and Atsuya stared at her with their eyes widening more and more as she explained the past of Atlantis kingdom. When the cinnamon haired girl finally stopped the boys glanced at each other and laughed unbelievably. "At least someone has been listening in the geography lessons." Gouenji pointed out to Atsuya when Hitomi was wrapping the map back to its original from and then putting it back to the closet.

"Oh no, this is only common knowledge. I have to know even more about the connections with other countries if I want to help his majesty when he finally took the place as the ruler." Hitomi said as she returned to her place and bowed. Then she turned her head towards the door as if she was waiting for something to happen.

All of a sudden they started to hear some noises behind the door. The voices where mixed voices of screams, yelling and shouting. Then the door slammed open and a ground of girl entered to room. "GOUENJI-SAMA! It is true that you're getting married?" asked one of the girls with reddish brown hair which was tied up on two pigtails. Gouenji stood up and smiled at the girls.

"I'm truly sorry, but it is." Gouenji answered to the girls with polite voice. The girls let out a shouts of disappointment and were about to leave the room, but Gouenji sudden suggestion made them to change mood back to normal.

"Then for my apology, how about I spend this day with you beautiful ladies." the boy smiled and offered his hand to one of the girls. She giggled in happiness and took his hand while her face was burning dark crimson. Gouenji then left the room and the pack of girls followed him while arguing who would be next one to hold Gouenji-samas hand.

Atsuya started as the girls left the room together with Gouenji and sighed loudly when he was the only person - well including Hitomi of course - in the room. He didn't get why was his friend so popular with girls and how in the would could he stand that giggling and laughing all day. Of course the crown price too had had his own fans, but he didn't like girls at all and had always chased them away, so nowadays girls avoided him the best way they could.

Though Atsuya had managed to chance almost all of girls away, the only person who would sick on him like a glue was - of course - his personal maid, the cinnamon-haired girl Hitomi. Not even once had she left him alone. Not even once had he managed to chase her away. Atsuya glanced at Hitomi, and when he saw her staring at him, with those maroon colored orbs of her, he quickly lowered his head to cover the light crimson that was appearing in to his cheeks.

Hitomis head bobbed in confusion, what was the prince lowering his head for. She would had asked it from him, but was interrupted by a loud scream. Hitomi, who was already reaching her hand towards Atsuya, startled in surprise as she felt two small, but strong arms hugging her from behind.

"Hito-chan!" the girl said with excited voice and she embraced the startled maid even more tightly. Hitomi turned her head to see who the person was, and was not so surprised when she saw long teal-colored hair which was long - the girls knee lengthed. To correct she saw a girl, around her age hugging her.

"Saya-sama" the cinnamon-haired girl said with little surprise in her voice. The teal-haired girl raised her head and pursued her lips. She then let go of Hitomi and crossed her hands, tapping her leg on the ground, while her aquamarine colored eyes flamed in anger.

"It's Saya... SAYA! Stop addressing me so formally Hito-chan!" the girl said angrily. Hitomi smiled at the angry girl and bowed.

"As you wish Saya-hama. Mind you tell me why do you need me?" Hitomi continued formally and then asked the girl reasons for needing her. It was well known that Saya or Sayaka, as her full name is, came to Hitomi when ever she needed her. All of a sudden the teal-haired girls mood changed back to the happy one and she grabbed Hitomis arm while dragging her out of the room.

"Right, right, right... There's a new dress I just bought! I want you to help me to put it on." Sayaka jumped in excitement and dragged the despare maid with her. Hitomi tried to stop her, but couldn't do anything about the dragging.

"Wait... Cannot Nii-san do that for you, he's your personal butler. Also I have to stay next to his majesty." Hitomi desperately argued against the teal-haired girl. Sayaka stopped and turned to Hitomi while glaring at the cinnamon-haired girl with her aquamarine-colored eyes.

"Of course he cannot! He's a male, and males don't have any fashion sense, so I need YOU! Oh and I'm sure that little baby prince of yours can survive on his own for a little while, right?" the teal-haired girl insulted the crown prince, not realising that he had been in the room whole time. Only when she heard angry coughing she noticed the Atsuya who was sitting on the chair and glaring at her with his gray-colored eyes. She placed her hand on her mouth and apologized to the crown prince.

"I'm really sorry your highness, I didn't notice you." Atsuya continued staring at her with his cold gray-colored eyes. Sayaka didn't like that glare and pulled herself together and grabbed Hitomis hand. "If you would allow, Atsuya-sama, I would like to borrow you woman for a minute." Sayaka said and waited for Atsuyas answer before running out of the room.

The pink-haired crown prince answered with quiet "yes" and after hearing that the teal-haired girl dashed out of the room, without even thanking the prince. She was in so hurry that didn't give Hitomi the chance to bow and excuse herself. Atsuya stared as the girls ran out of the room and sighed. He was really annoyed by the fact that everyone tried to pair him up with Hitomi but was too tired to notice this anymore and didn't care to argue with them. I would only get on his nerves.

Atsuya stood up from his chair and started to walk towards the door, but stopped when he saw a small person with dark blue cloak on him staring on the rooms entrance. His eyes widened, why didn't he recognize this boy? Who was he? Why was he here?

"Who- Wh- Who are you?" Atsuya asked while stammering. The dark blue cloaked boy didn't answer to him. He just kept silent and all of sudden turned to walk to the right. Atsuya ran to the door and saw the little kid disappearing behind the corner.

"Wai- WAIT!" the crown prince shouted and ran after the little kid.

He didn't know that he had been watched by dark figure who kept laughing evilly. "Only two months... Yes only two months and I will get my powers back" the figure laughed and then disappeared like a mist.

Sakuchii: Whohoo! The third chapter is ready.

Aiko: THEY STILL DIDN'T MEET EACH OTHER!

Sakuchii: *showing her tongue* I'm really sorry about that. I promise that they would finally meet in the next chapter.

Yukiko: I'm not sure if I should believe you.

Sakuchii: Well... I'm REALLY SORRY! But there's a question to you readers. Can you already guess who are those two mysterious girls who are together with our favorite alien captains?

Aiko: I know! I know! It's... fjiolg! *her mouth was covered by Yukiko*

Yukiko: No spoiling. I'm sure that it's really easy to guess, at least for those who've been reading another Saku-chans fics. But here's a question that's much much more harder than the first one! Who is the mysterious person who was following our dear crown prince Atsuya?

Sakuchii: Now that's a hard one... I'm sure that none will guess it right on the first try *smirking* but if someone does I will give her like ONE MILLION points and big applauses with shouts and party! :D

Gouenji: So if you're interested guessing who those persons are don't forget to mention about that in your review. Sakuchii will later on tell if you guessed right or not.

Sakuchii: Haii! Also thank you for reading, and please review! I would really appreciate that! *bows*
