(3rd Person POV)

A luxurious party filled with gallant colors, celebratory ribbons, and plush tables. People were talking with one another- gossiping rather on the current party. Guests filled the room, sound resonating off the decorate walls and tables were served exquisite food from all across the land. Over the loud people was an orchestra playing different party tunes, given the dancers on the marble dance floor something to swing their hips too. They made it sound like a wedding party instead of what it really was.

It was a coming-of-age party for Kaname who was turning 18.

Around the main party floor was there a long staircase leading up to a pair of double doors where Kaname was peeking out from dressed in formal wear.

Specifically a fine tuxedo with black outer color and a red dress shirt underneath. The red shirt was a little tight, probably work of his mother, so he had to undo some of the buttons so that he may breath. In a sense, she had specifically made him appear sexy for the crowd to drool.

All he needed was to be splashed with water to appear this look and he would have to spend all night escaping those whores who wanted a piece of him.

He found it disgusting that women would fall under primal desires so quickly. He didn't.

Loud trumpets snapped his out of his negative daze and he psychically straightened his posture, the doors suddenly opening.

The rapid change of light made Kaname blink a few times to adjust his sight. Even with being a prince and him doing it all the time did he never really get used to that one little thing.

Of course putting on a fake smile and being polite to money-diggers was a second nature.

People thought Kaname was attractive, enough to be a good-looking prince that they would go after as well as the future heir to a prosperous kingdom.

That was besides the matter at hand.

The second Kaname was seen by the crowd was he introduced, "Please welcome, heir to the throne, Prince Kaname Kuran!" Oh yes. Here was the typical part of his first dazzling smile to woo the crowd who were already excited enough. Woman wore expensive revealing gowns, save for that one modest girl while men just roamed in freelancing, yet provocative tuxes.

Truly a memorable time.

The second Kaname's foot touched the ballroom floor was he swarmed by those around him, asking for a dance, trying to show off cleavage, asking for his marriage proposals, and that one girl who thought she could get away with asking him to sleep with her.

Yes because saying a scandal out in the open was such a good idea.

His princely reflex denied every single one of them so that he may have room to breathe in this joyous occasion. He was becoming a man in society's eyes, as if he was not previously one, and women knew what happened with that.

Kaname would have to devote his soul to some women he didn't love.

Truthfully, he was a romantic person who wanted to find 'the one' in order to spend the rest of his life with that said person. So he opted out on his sexuality ready to hopefully find that one person.

It was rather hard considering he was a prince with duties to his country and no time for himself. Kaname found himself to be a people pleaser, being selfless as to indulge into other's problems. Rather entertainment.

Kaname had a rather hard time trying to get to the buffet table for some refreshments when every single woman had disappeared from sight.

This meant one of two things.

Either his mother or father wanted to approach their son, sending death glares to all so that they may have a please conversation.

Otherwise is would be option two,

"Hello Kaname."

That female bitch his parents were probably going to marry him off too, seeing as she sucked up to them so subtly and Kaname had grown up with her. She had been nice until her true colors showed, creating extreme discomfort for his party as she was constantly trying to get into his pants.

"Ah Yuuki… to what do I owe this please surprise?" Bitch, he finished the sentence in his mind, sparing her no politeness.

Yuuki Kuran- as she had dubbed herself without anyone really caring- was a small petite girl that had no womanly qualities. She had short brown hair that was tied into a too perfect bun and everything about her seemed… off.

In basic terms she was the whore that was going to get power.

"Happy birthday, Kaname," Just with the plain audacity to use his first name without honorifics was rude enough. Somehow nobody, but Kaname had noticed it and it was starting to get on his final nerves.

"Thank you, Yuuki, but please call me Prince Kaname," he wasted no time with dawdling kindness, he had made her motives clear some time ago and he had made his clear.

Stay the fuck back. Was the accurate translation that she acted on not noticing.

"Ne, Kaname," Yuuki began trying her cute act. Once he had fallen upon that charm, but now it was just a waste of time for him. What devil had brought such a monster into this world?

"What is it, Yuuki," the last word had so little malice, most wouldn't catch it, but Kaname knew Yuuki would. She always did.

"That's no way to talk to a lady!" She teased him, a flash of anger in her eyes.

"Let me know when you find one," Kaname spat back in a slight whisper only enough for her to hear. That would set her off. Surprisingly Kaname had found it easy to set her off. Now getting her to publicly make a fool of herself so that she would be out of his sight forever was the goal. He had yet to do so sadly.

Kaname took a glass of champagne, downing it in one gulp, needing the refreshing liquid. He could hold his liquor quite well and it did help him deal with all these spoiled brats.

Honestly his hatred for Yuuki was so vast that putting into words was quite difficult. Plus with the spell she had put on his parents was enough to prove her a witch.

They burned witches, those masters of deceit. Kaname wished to do so, but until his coronation after finding a suitable wife (or husband) would he have to power to burn her.

Although if she was chosen to be his wife then Kaname would be screwed indefinitely as prosecuting a queen would be unimaginable.

He really hoped that 'the one' would show themselves soon so he put this hell to rest. Again that would probably impossible seeing as all statues of power in the kingdom were here tonight, not a single commoner. So, with knowing each person to be a dirty rat did the chances of that person making a dashing appearance uncommon.

"Yuuki, Kaname!" Oh the pleasant voice of his mother, Juri make Kaname relax some.

Juri was a very pretty woman with long brown hair and dark hazel eyes. Juri was the undoubtable source of beauty in the kingdom. She did look alike to Yuuki, but her beauty still outshone to witch by far. In celebration of this occasion did she wear her favorite dress, a simple white gown that seemed dull around everyone else, but was more for comfortable and she managed to pull it off better than anyone ever could.

She approached the two happily a smile donning her pretty face.

"Mother," Kaname addressed her, kissing her hand to represent his respect for her.

"Son!" She smiled back, reaching on her tiptoes to kiss her son's cheek. For the first time that night did Kaname actually smile at her. A genuine one.

He could sense the anger and discomfort radiating off of Yuuki who was so jealous that Juri could share such pleasantries with her son. Kaname liked that look on her face. It was a nice change.

"Juri!" Haruka, the king shouted in jest at his wife, "You're kisses are only meant for me!"

Juri turned from Kaname to giggle at her husband, "Oh please! I save special kisses for you." The two lovebird shared there laughs while Kaname watched in envy.

"That could be you and me one day," the sly voice belonging to Yuuki said from behind him. Kaname snarled.

"In your pathetic dreams, bitch," Kaname didn't try to hold back his tone, furious that Yuuki was intruding on his family time, on his birthday.

She just couldn't stop, could she?

Kaname was supposed to be having a fun night, enjoying his coming-of-age birthday party and Yuuki had to ruin it all. Well he wasn't going to stay for much longer.

(Still 3rd POV, but going onto to Zero)

On the boarder of the kingdom was a vast forest, proving to separate this kingdom from the next. In this forest, particularly next to a cliff was a small pound and a cottage.

The cottage was made out of wood and painted a pristine white, showing how new it was, when it was decades old. The cottage held one person, the owner who had built the place years ago by his two bare hands as a child. He had somewhat modern appliances installed to make cooking and heating easier, but otherwise he did everything himself. Including taking a shower by a nearby waterfall.

Inside the cottage was a young man around the age of 19 dicing carrots and vegetables up for his dinner stew.

The young man was of tall statue who was that lean yet muscular build. He had short silver hair and captivating purple amethyst eyes with lush lips. He was rather beautiful, but refused to hear any word of it when people looked at him.

Speaking of which, did he ever rarely leave this area, seeing as he had everything he really needed, but then again there were those random times.

After finishing cutting a carrot into tiny pieces did he put it in a pot which was boiling with different vegetables and broth. He took his forearm and wiped sweat from his brow, the heat starting this reaction. The silver haired beauty put the knife down when he heard the ninny of a horse.

A small smile adorned his face as he ran out front to see his horse.

White Lily was what he called her, Lily for short seeing as the name fit her appearance. She was a truly majestic mare, with a pearly white coat and silver hair like the young man's.

He had found her when she was a young colt, and raised her to be as free as a bird which she did become. His favorite thing about Lily was how she wasn't restricted by annoying reigns and saddles, but perfect without them.

"Lily!" he called out to her, waving at his horse with a bright smile.

The horse neighed and trotted over to the young man putting her neck against his hand so that he may openly stroke her. He did so and quite happily too, messing with her hair some.

As if knowing what he had done, Lily did a hair flip to settle it back in its original position happy with her work. The silver haired man laughed, pleased with his little joke.

Soon it was all interrupted with the sound of many hoofs and White Lily retreated behind the young man who knew what was coming.

"Zero Kiryuu!" a man dressed in imperial amour shouted at him making Zero squint his amethyst eyes.

"Yes?" Zero replied bringing his hand to cup Lily's face from behind. She quickly snuggled into his neck.

"We, as the imperial guard of the Kuran kingdom request you sell, your horse to us," The man had said with such arrogance Zero wanted to desperately smack him off of his high horse. Literally. However doing so would be an act against the kingdom and Zero would rather have his freedom instead of

"I refuse," Zero said curtly turning around to retreat back into his cottage, which had a nice place for Lily to sleep on.

"Not even for ten bags of gold?"

Chink, chink. Chink, chink, chink.

The rhythmic pattern of bags filled to the brim with royal crest on it. A dove and crow both perched on a pear tree.

"Sir, are you suggesting that I see my horse for money which has the royal crest on it, earning my own prosecution?" Zero turned around, after helping White Lily in to stare at the guards with awe.

Not the type of awe that was impressed, but rather how-fucking-stupid-are-you?

The guards stood on their horses in silence, their brains have been short wired for Zero to expect such a thing. Zero Kiryuu was not a fool- he was a smart man that had warded off many buyers before, royal guards included.

"I ask you to leave my property please- White Lily is not for sale," Zero gave them a curt nod before returning to white Lily's presence.

He never made it.

No- the assholes who had wanted to buy his horse from him had swarmed Zero, holding him by the arms as he took a swift beating. Zero was beyond helpless to stop this- the men kept hitting him and hitting him.

When they gave Zero a break was his face bruised and his body bashed. He coughed out blood and was panting. He looked up at this cottage to see that a dozen men were trying to round Lily up with reins. Zero was horrified at this scene. To just put such horrible devices of such pretty creatures was taboo to him and doing it to Lily who had no experience in the matter was even worse.

"Lily!" Zero cried out, struggling against the men with a newfound passion. He couldn't just let this pricks take away one of the things he loved the most. It was unruly to do so and was a strict violation of law… oh wait they practically were the law around the commoners.

The last thing Zero saw was Lily kicking a man down, before Zero was struck from behind rendering him unconscious.

-)-

Zero had woken up bloodied and aching outside of his cottage. He looked over to see if anything was out of place, but memories of Lily and her kidnapped flooded his mind.

Zero was never one to really cry, but this was the biggest loss for him and it hurt like hell to be left alone.

With new tears threatening to fall did he retreat back into his cottage, eating the stew all by himself.

(Kaname POV Let's just say don't mess with him)

I was furious.

Not angry, furious.

My party had been going well for me after I stepped out and retreated to my room, but the second I walked back in was mother there, standing with father and bitchola announcing that I was going to marry her.

So I didn't have a fucking say in this did I?

Well fuck it!

If they want me to marry that bitch, I would gladly deny everything and be a beggar on the streets for the rest of my life. This was not good at all. Way to turn a birthday sour.

Then I did the rational thing of grabbing a crossbow, a sword, and a horse and then I was off to hunt, far away from everything.

There was the option of the Royal Hunting Grounds, but that place was far to close and I didn't need to kill captive animals. I rarely went there anyways, since it disgusted me so. I preferred the natural hunt of things, at the edge of the kingdom where everything was fine and dandy.

Having things given to you on a platter each and every day wasn't how things worked at the boarder. It was cruel and you had to do your own share of things in order to make it out there. A nice dynamic change if you ask me.

It probably wasn't the best time to do this at night, but it did take some time to get there depending on the route. So if took the long one I would reach it by morning and would be able to see things properly. If I wasn't caught.

Hey maybe the guards would notice and come after me. That would useful of them considering they're all freeloading brutes who… you know what that's not my thing to tell.

Right now I was more concerned about what I was going to do rather than how screwed up the economy is here. I would have to change that.

Anyways after I had escaped the castle grounds did the alarm bell sounded.

Well I guess they have a purpose after all.

-)-

Okay the security was terrible.

My elusion skills were far greater than what was required to evade the palace guards. It was quite sad that the people they were supposed to protect could fall out of their grip so easily. Even if that was what I wanted. That would surely have to change soon.

After all lights in the distance had faded did I move my pony, anxious to get away from the palace. Fresh, crisp air ruffled my clothing as I pressed on eager to be momentarily free. The wind was a nice calling, and I almost fell under its alluring spell. Thank goodness that my horse was quick to ninny in protest and keeping such a fast speed in cold weather. It didn't bother me much at all. Cold never really was one to affect me in the first place actually.

I slowed my speed down from a gallop to a slow trot before finding a nice area for my steed to graze.

Getting of the beast did I loosely tie it to a tree-making sure it could move, but not leave me stranded in the dark.

It didn't matter what happened next anyways. Some light behind a bush had captured my attention and I went to investigate it. Pulling aside the bush did it falter- leaving me to fall down a large cliff and splash into a cold pond.

Let's say it really hurt.

-)-

(Zero's POV. BTW I wanted Zero to describe Kaname so that he cold blush and stuff. Sorry just thought you should know.)

With the loud thuds and splash did it make me leave my depressed state from losing Lily to worry of whatever had fallen. I took a lantern and went outside to see what had happened.

Some sort of figure had landed in the pond and wasn't moving, emitting estrange groans and moans probably from the pain.

I wasted no time in running over to assist the stranger who was going to die without me. It was preferably considered a cold night and his skin was chilled to the bone.

So I heaved the knocked out form of this man and carried him inside my home- prepared to help him over anything else.

-)-

Upon greeting the light inside did I finally get to see his face.

What a looker he was.

This man had such auburn brown hair that was slick with water making it shine. His face was very handsome and his cheeks a soft rosy color. He was definitely taller than me, with a leaner figure than I. He had that regal sense of posture about him, making him seem majestic compared to me.

Shaking my head, did I stop to fantasize about his charming looks and focus on what needed to be done.

His clothes were soaked to the bone and if he kept them on would we have problems. Regrettably did I strip him down- slowly I might add- and throw his clothes in a pile. I took some nearby rags and started to dry him off, carefully avoiding my eyes to his… manhood.

So after that painstakingly slow period of time did I put him in my bed and clean up my cottage before joining him, knowing my body heat would warm him up in the slightest.

-)-

(hehe… back to Kaname now :3)

The second I woke up did I know something was amiss.

Besides the fact that the bed was lumpy, my bedroom was not a one room dingy place, and the man sleeping next to me.

Huh… this next part was interesting.

To say in the least I was stark naked.

Getting up out of bed, ever so careful as to not wake the man next to me up.

Last night's memoires flooded my mind, and I realized anything could have happened.

Anger filled my veins as I was royally pissed (no pun intended) that this man could have had his way with me. Disgusting. Nor was I hospitable when I grabbed him by the next and shoved him against the headboard, my hand tightening on his neck.

To say that he was… ugly was insulting. This man was gorgeous from his silver hair and amethyst eyes down to his body. Maybe this wasn't so bad. Wait, Kaname. Shut the fuck up.

Listening to the rational part of me did I glare at him who was confused and clawing at my hands to try and breathe.

"What did you do to me?" I asked him with malice, unhappy even if he was attractive.

He choked out, "Can't… breathe!" I snickered at him. His bluntness was appalling at the moment.

"Obviously. Tell me: what did you do to me last night?" In life- you couldn't always go around not using force on some people. This was one of those moments that I particularly enjoyed. I was able to drop all formalities.

"I can't… t-tell you," he sputtered out, "if I can't… b-b-breathe…" He had a point there.

"Fine," I digressed as I let him go, falling onto the bed coughing and trying to get air. I studied him while he did so to see that he was fully clothed. That wasn't 100 percent reassuring, but it was scantily so.

"L-last night," he recaptured his final breath before continuing on, "You fell from the cliff and landed in the pond next to my cottage. I went out to see that you were knocked out and freezing. So I t-took you in and dried you off… Um in order to do so I needed to take off your wet clothes…" I pressed a dangerous stare at him. He was quite nervous, "D-don't worry! I didn't do anything! I even put your clothes out to dry some and I have extras if you need any!"

Well this was cute.

He didn't really look like the type of guy to do something so crude and violating. Of course appearances can be deceiving and I'm the one person who knows that the most, but still. He didn't seem morally capable to so something as such.

Therefore he was off the hook.

For now.

Akott: Aaand… done.

Roderick: WHERE THE FUCK IS ANY ROMANCE?!

Akott: I wanted to post it tonight and leave a cliff hangar… -looks scared- Next chapter will mostly be them falling in love over a few days. I wanna spread it out like normal people, but it doesn't work like that for the plot…

Roderick: All is well. As long as I get some smut…

Akott: Walking away now!

Nokia: I'm not a phone and Roderick, it isn't civil of you to be bipolar so quickly. That might not be the right word to use though.

Kisame: No shit. You dumb fucks.

Akott, Roderick, and Nokia: That was rude.

Akott: I thought you were supposed to be mean!

Kisame: Considering we're all you alter egos in a sense, anger can lead to rudeness. Though most of the time that's with naivety and romance.

Nokia: Which are still unnamed.

Roderick: I bet its going to be something stupid.

Kisame: Like you being named after a Hetalia character? Right, she'll stoop to that level again.

Akott: Hey! I'm right here you know!

Nokia: That was the point.

Akott: -grumbles- I might as well make you rational…

Roderick: Since she's grumbling in her corner will I do this for her. Please, leave a review if you liked it and DO NOT READ HER OTHER STORIES. She's on leave with them because she's been doing research on how to write better from reading your fanfics. HDHL will be updated soon and it'll be fucking long. Other one…

Akott: Discontinued from now on.

Kisame: Aren't you supposed to be angry from his insult to your other stories?

Akott: No because that's not my job. It's yours.

Kisame: Oh. Right. RODERICK GET CHOU SKINNY LITTLE ASS OVER HERE!

Roderick: Eep! –runs the fuck away with Kisame chasing him-.

Akott: He didn't finish…

Nokia: I shall. Yes. Please review. Leave a like, follow, fav whatever floats your boat. We, as Akott's alter egos all graciously thank you, even if we do not all have names yet.

Cara: Yeah!

Akott: WTF?

Cara: I'm Cara! Your new excited/happy/pleased alter ego~! We're gonna have tons of fun!

Akott: … Oh fuck. I'm the gamer alter ego and I really wanna kill you now…

Nokia: … That even enough for me to say WTF.

Akott: Oh! We have a problem. Roderick, you have the only phone, call 911!

Roderick: AIEEEEEE! Already on it.

Kisame: Get back here you twerp!

Me: …. Good bye.
