In the kingdom of Kuskabe…

"This totally sucks. Stupid princess practice…" An auburn haired girl muttered while clenching a baton. She threw it into the air and did some backflips gracefully and a cartwheel and caught the baton in the air. She smiled and then sat abruptly down on the garden floor.

"Bravo. Beautiful display of work! But you look frustrated as usually Princess Maron. But you still look beautiful." A blue haired boy with brown eyes stepped out from behind a tree.

"Prince Chiaki!" Maron exclaimed while trying to hide a blush that came up. She stepped away from him.

"Oh…Maron, no need to hid it." Chiaki said as he put his arms around her waist.

"Chiaki, stop!" Maron said as she pushed him away.

"Maron, are you doing this for Miyako!" Chiaki said angrily as that thought came into his head.

"Yes. She's my best friend and you know she has a crush on you!" Maron replied back defiantly. She stepped back.

"Well, Maron. You ALSO know that I like you, not her!" Chiaki said and finally cornered her to the wall of the garden. He grasped her chin with his fingers. As she started to protest he kissed her.

"I hate you Chiaki!" Maron said as she finally got out of the liplock. She pushed him away and started escaping. Chiaki blocked her way from going to her room.

"Maron!" Chiaki said grasping her chin to make her look at him in the eyes. "What is wrong with you?"

"Everything you do! It's always so perfect! Now you start ste--" Maron started saying but Chiaki covered her mouth from saying any more. He quickly glanced around before starting to talk again.

"We are going to your room to talk about this." Chiaki said while dragging Maron by the hand to her room.

"Chiaki!" Maron said with a hint of temper. "YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO GO INSIDE MY ROOM IF I INVITE YOU!" Chiaki sighed and kissed her again before continuing dragging her into her room.

Meanwhile in a different kingdom…

Another prince with brown hair and glasses was walking through his kingdom when a bunch of paintings caught his eyes. He looked at one that was painted beautifully of a garden filled with detail. A voice came into his head and he kept staring.

"Good day Prince Linchou." Greeted the merchant. "I see you're interested in the Beauty Garden.

"Yes, I am. I'll like to buy it." Prince Linchou said and took of his glasses smirking evilly.

"Uh…yes." The merchant said taken aback by the attitude change.

"So…this boy seeks the heart of a princess…" the demon now with Linchou thought. "He needs to stop being shy…and also needs to be more forward. How helpful that he's a prince."

Back to the kingdom of Kuskabe…

"Chiaki…why did you do that to me!" Maron whined.

"Maron, you know I told you to keep quiet about the stealing! We're doing it to keep evil from spreading again!" Chiaki said.

"Maron!" a voice suddenly called out.

"Sinbad!" another one called out. Two small apprentice angels floated from the window, one a female with green hair and green eyes and the other a male purple hair and yellow eyes.

"What!" Chiaki and Maron both asked at the same time.

"We sensed a demon again!" Fin, the female with green hair and green eyes said.

"Yep, problem is…it's not in this kingdom or yours Chiaki." Access, the male with purple hair and yellow eyes finished up.

"This is proving a problem. It means it could be in the nearby kingdoms. The closest ones are Miyako's (darts a look at Chiaki) or…Linchou's." Maron said after analyzing the report. A knock came from the door.

"Yes?" Maron said.

"Princess Maron, Prince Linchou is requesting to see you." A maid's voice came from the other side of the door.

"Eh! Ok, tell him I'm coming." Maron said. "I'll be right back Chiaki. Just to see why Linchou's is visiting." Maron smiled and left the room. Including leaving her pendant behind.

"Something's up." Chiaki muttered. He glanced outside Maron's window. "What! How come there are so many guards here!"

"Sinbad! The feeling of the demon just got stronger!" Access exclaimed.

Meanwhile with Maron…

"Hello Linchou! What a surprise. You came to visit me. Is there anything wrong?" Maron asked as soon as she arrived. She was pushed against the wall by a hard force. When she opened her eyes again, Linchou was in front of her.

"Maron, I'll be taking you back with me to my kingdom for a while." Linchou said.

"Linchou…stop…you're hurting me…" Maron winced as he was holding her hand against the way tightly. He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and pressed it against her mouth. The last thing she saw was Linchou's smiling face before totally blacking out.
