Chapter 1: Such a Jerk.
"Father!" Prince Raimundo whined. "Raimundo! You will marry Sophia! And you will live happily ever after and inherit the throne." Charon said harshly. "I don't want to be king!" he complained again.
"Son. Leave at once, I will not hear this nonsense anymore!" Omi, the servant of Prince Raimundo and the King; pushed him out the throne room.
When they were both out of ear shot, Omi hissed "You are not supposed to fight with his Majesty"
"I am the Prince here! I need to go get a drink." Raimundo muttered, and pushed past Omi, who watched hopelessly.
Here's a breif description of Raimundo: He has dark brown hair (Which makes some girls go crazy), emerald green eyes that shine brightly, and a golden crown on top of his head.
Very noticeable things for a Prince.
"Where is that idiot Sophia?" Omi tagged along and bowed. "Allow me to get her Master. SOPHIA!" Omi screamed. "Coming servant." Sophia stepped into the hall way and smirked when she saw Raimundo.
"Hello darling... What are we going to do now?" She leaned over and tried to kiss him but he shoved her away, like he always did.
Sophia was what you call bossy and evil.
She had blond hair, which was always in perfect condition; the perfect slim figure, and blue eyes, which held a lot of greed. "Shove off Sophia, I was just calling to see if you were dead yet." Raimundo snapped, and headed for the castle courtyard.
"Omi, don't let her follow." he ordered.
"Yes Prince of Xiaolin." Was Omi's reply.
Raimundo ran through the courtyard and frowned sourly to himself.
Riches, fame, and power? That's what Raimundo would get if he was the King.
"Where are you going? I remember Queen Lucia telling you to not to go to the village." Omi told him.
"So? Not like I'm going to listen to her stupidity. Now let's go spread some fun around the town." Raimundo smiled at his own idea.
"I do not think that is"
"When is the Prince ever wrong? Never. So let's get going"
Omi knew what the word fun meant in Raimundo's book: Chaos.
The guards at the Castle gates nodded when Raimundo passed through the gates, they knew when he was sneaking out, and if they told the King, then Raimundo would fire them.
"Do not think I didn't warn you Prince." The guard bowed and opened the gate.
"Where shall we go today servant?" he asked Omi. "
I think we should stay away from this village! I hear the plague is around!" Omi tugged at the Prince's sleeve, but it did no good. "Let's just go to the bar to calm your nerves then." Raimundo dragged Omi into the nearby pub, 'The Mermaid Lassie'
They both walked into the bar.
"Your Highness! I didn't expect to see you here!" People gathered around the Prince and stared in awe.
"Go back to your chairs villagers. I am not in the mood to talk to low lives"
Many bowed and turned away, while others shrank away in fright. "Come Omi, get yourself a drink"
Raimundo knew once Omi had at least one glass, Omi would be drunk.
Then he could wander without some pesky little dimwit following him. "Go on Omi, I command you. I cannot stand the fumes of this disgusting place anymore"
Omi nodded and took a sip of his grimy glass, and walked away. "Perfect." Raimundo smiled and slid out of the door. "So many things to do, but what to choose?" He studied a map of the town, some places he didn't explore yet. Like the Temple of Sage.
"The Temple of Sage? Sounds interesting enough. Maybe I could disturb them, I hope they won't mind." Raimundo skipped past beggars, and laughed at how 'fun' this was going to be.
The Temple was a sacred place, where worshippers and the sick went. Of course, a pure blood Prince would have nothing to do with the nonsense. The first thing Raimundo saw was people, SICK people running in that direction. It was a clear sign that the plague was infecting most of his subjects, but he didn't care.
"Your Majesty! Please heal us"
None of those words reached Raimundo's ears though.
He pushed past the door of the Temple, and brushed back his hair.
What was there to do in this Temple? Nobody was having fun.
And the crowd outside was boring. "May I help you sir?" Raimundo turned around to the kind voice.
It was a girl. Younger than him, but around the same age.
"Who are you to address me?" he asked.
She looked at him confused.
"Are you around from here? I should show you around." Her voice faltered.
"I KNOW this place, person"
He didn't even look at her that closely, all he saw was a human.
Raimundo didn't look for any details, it was a commoner for god's sake!
"Don't talk to me like that! Are you hurt?" The girl examined his face for any disease.
"Does it look like I am sick? No I'm not. Why do I even bother to talk to you"
He felt heat in the air.
"Because you went into the Temple. This is my home, and I don't like you waltzing in and insulting me"
She flared up, her eyes seemed to be dancing with flames.
"Looks like this kitten has claws." Raimundo put his hands on his hips and glared back.
"Stop talking to me! I hope you catch the plague whoever you are! I don't even know your name and you... Prat! The King should rid of you from this Kingdom"
She scrunched up her nose, the air seemed to burn.
"He wouldn't likely do that, because I am his son subject." Raimundo replied.
He waited for her to beg for forgiveness, but it never came
. "You think I should just bow down to you? Go back to your castle Prince of idiocy"
"I have a name you know, and it's called RAIMUNDO PEDROSA"
Raimundo felt powerless shouting at a poor Temple maiden, maybe the offer to be King was good... At least he thought so. Why didn't she obey the orders?
"Excuse me! I have a name too! It's Kimiko Tohomiko, and you'd better learn it because it's going be the last name you'll hear once I kick your butt!" Kimiko fumed.
"Well bye then stupid. I have my important duties to go to, and I don't have enough time for you, worthless." Raimundo stuck out his tongue, and stalked out of the door. What did she think she was?
The Queen of Stubbornness?
"Omi, we are going back to the palace." Raimundo took his servant by the collar and dragged him out of the bar.
"But I was having a drink like I was telling... I mean you was telling..." Omi slurred his words.
"Oh be quiet! I need to get you back! I don't understand what is wrong with these villagers"
The castle came into view.
It was breathtaking, but not to Raimundo, he never saw anything with beauty.
Not even that scrawny little girl, Kimiko Tohomiko.
Raimundo thought about the queer girl for a while.
She just made him so mad! Kimiko was the weirdest name he ever heard.
What did she look like?
It might have been... Yes, she did have raven black hair, a slimmer figure then Sophia, and piercing blue eyes. "Sophia! Here this instance!" Omi and Raimundo were inside already.
"Hello! Do you want to marry me?" Sophia came trotting down the stairs, wearing jewels and exquisite clothes.
"You know I am being forced to marry you idiot." He was looking at her closely, that Kimiko was prettier than her. But not like Sophia was pretty! Raimundo batted away his thoughts and resumed being self centered.
