My heart beats faster!

Is this for real?

He took my first kiss

Mao touched her lips.

“It can’t be…” She retorted.

“Ah!!!”

That was Sho.

The door opened and then Sho fell from it.

“Sho?”

“Gomen Mao… I wasn’t able to stop them…” Sho cried, he was already lying on the floor.

As Mao looked at the door she found Nariyama and Keiko, Matsumoto’s sentinels

“Oh no!” Mao bit out.

1, 2. 3

Before Mao could realize Matsumoto’s arm was encircling her shoulder.

“What’s the meaning of this?”she thought.

“Master, are you alright?” Nariyama shouted and then found their prince hugging the girl.

“Is this for real?” asked Keiko covering . Seeing their prince with a girl was unusual.

“Hey, Hey…” Nariyama’s reaction.

“He he he…” Sho suddenly laughed. “Looks like Mao successfully do it!”

“Huh, what are you talking about?” Nariyama grumbled

Sho stood up slowly. “Good job Mao!”

“Ah…” Mao didn’t know what to say. She actually nervous, she was already frozen.

This wasn’t right, she thought.

“As you can see… Mao’s power is to control human’s emotion—so there she is… managing Matsumoto’s feelings.”

“No, impossible!” Nariyama bit out. “I can’t take it!” He prepared his spear “Hiyyaah!” he attacked Mao.

CLUTCH!

Matsumoto caught the spear.

“M-Master…” said Nariyama, frightened as he saw his master’s firing eyes.

 “Keep away from my love!” Matsumoto said in firm tone.

“M-my love?” Nariyama looked at Sho “What did you do to him?”

“As what you see, he is already drowning in love with Mao” said Sho wearing his nasty smile. “Oh!” Sho looked at his watch “Mao, we don’t have time, let’s go back at the academy!”

“Ah… o-okay…” Mao turned her head towards Matsumoto “Ah… hey… could you please… help me to beat a dragon?”

“Dragon? Is he trouble you?”

“Well…”

“Yes!” Sho answered for Mao “That dragon is terrifying Mao, he said he want Mao to be her wife!”

‘What? — let me see that dragon, I will give him his lesson.

Sho smirked “Good to her that let’s go, just follow me”

Matsumoto followed Sho but of course he was still holding Mao’s hand.

“W-wait!” Keiko, Jun’s sentinel blocked their way.

“Keiko!” –Nariyama

“Prince Matsumoto, do you really know what you are doing? Please fight her power, don’t let them make you a slave!”

“Move!”

That was the only word Matsumoto said, and then Keiko move away.

Mao and company successfully left the palace.

“Keiko, are you alright?”

“D-Did you see him?”

“Huh, what do you mean?”

“Our master… that was the first time I saw his tantalizing eyes... I couldn’t imagine he can do such thing out because of love… how romantic!” said Keiko giggled.

“Eh???” –Nariyama’s reactions.

Soon, Mao together with Sho and Matsumoto reached the academy.

Upon arriving, Matsumoto was still holding Mao’s hand.

“I thought you won’t comeback… you only have 8 minutes left” said teacher Harris.

“I know” Sho answered “By the way, we have company” Sho pointed Matsumoto “He will be the one who will fight the dragon… Mao made him her slave by the use of her power so I think Mao’s not breaking any rule”

“Yeah… my dragon is waiting…”

“So that’s the dragon that is harassing my girl…” said Matsumoto stepping closer towards the dragon.

The dragon looked at him.

“Sho, I’m nervous… can prince Matsumoto really do it?” Mao cried.

“Just trust him!” Sho advised.

The dragon opened its big mouth and then produced fire from it.

RARRRRR!!!!

“Prince!!!” Mao shouted.

Matsumoto made a shield out of sand.

“Are you done?” said Matsumoto when the dragon stopped breathing fire. “It’s my turn…”

Matsumoto walked near the dragon and then kicked him.

KICK!!!

The dragon flew away and then became a star in the sky ---TING!

“What the…” –teacher Harris.

“EH???” Mao’s reaction.

‘That’s it?” asked Sho and then he laughed “Ha ha ha! I should expect this from Matsumoto.”

Matsumoto looked at Mao and Sho’s direction “No more?”

It only mean that Mao passed the exam.

“Here!” Teacher Harris gave her a certificate. “You have an excellent power so I’m sure you will be a good sentinel to whoever you’ll apply for”

“Thank you, I’ll do my best!”

Finally, Mao became a sentinel.

“Do you want to do any other thing?” Sho asked Mao and Matsumoto.

“I want to be with my princess… forever!” said Matsumoto as he hugged Mao again.

“Okay, go ahead... you still have time to enjoy!”

“Hey, Sho what are you talking about?” Mao grumbled.

“Let just meet in the palace, bye!” Sho ran away.

“Wait, Sho!!!” --Mao

“Let’s go my princess!” said Matsumoto.

“Eh? W-Where are we going?”

“In paradise!”

“Paradise?”

Soon the two reached the Paradise.  

Paradise is the most popular amusement park in east Village.

“Sugoi!!!” Mao was amaze in the said park.

She wasn’t comfortable with Matsumoto but the place was wonderful, so for once she wanted to enjoy…

They rode in the rides, play games and eat ice cream together.

People are looking at them

“Is that really prince Matsumoto?

“Who’s the girl with him?’

In that very moment, Mao could feel how lucky she was… It seemed that she was a princess dating a prince (Matsumoto is a real prince by the way)

“Ah…” Akanishi fell on the ground.

“Akanishi!” called Sho.

He found his sentinel at the Palace’s garden.

“Are you alright, what happened?”

“You knew it... every time I transform I feel weaken…”

“Do you want a date?”

“Eh?”

“I mean I can offer you a girl, I have here a girl’s calling card and I can also lend you some money…”

Akanishi stood up immediately, and then took Sho’s money and the calling card. “I’ll take this!” he said and then he left.

“Oh… I thought you’re weak?” Sho followed up but Akanishi was gone already.

Back to the Paradise Amusement park,

Mao and Matsumoto were eating ice cream

Mao couldn’t eat continuously since she found Matsumoto’s glaring eyes.

 “W-Will you please stop looking at me like that?” she asked

Matsumoto smiled “I love to see you like this…”

“But… It’s awkward…”

“It is?  Okay, I won’t look at you” Matsumoto moved his eyes away “If my princess didn’t comfortable of course I will adjust…”

Mao smiled “T-thank you, but that’s not what I mean…”

Matsumoto looked at her again.

“Ah… y-you’re calling me a princess, right?”

Matsumoto nodded.

“Just call me Mao”

“But you’re my princess…”

“Eh?”

Actually this was the very first time Mao treated like a princess. She didn’t know the feeling ---until now.

It was really romantic… and Matsumoto was also a temptation… Who was the girl who won’t fall for this handsome, powerful and loving prince?

Suddenly, Mao found herself closing her eyes…

Once again…--- her and Matsumoto’s lips were touching….

HIT!

“Ouch!” –Mao

Matsumoto hit Mao’s forehead.

“Eh?”

“Matsumoto had evil glare.

“H-He returned to normal?”thought Mao.

“Who are you?” asked Matsumoto in harsh tone.

“Ah…he-he-he…” Mao smiled “Look behind!”

As Matsumoto looked behind,  Mao ran away.

Her fault!She forgot that her spell (the effect of her power) won’t last longer.

Mao ran faster…

On her way, she found Sho.

“Oi… Mao, how’s your date?” –Sho was actually waiting for her.

Mao smiled. “It’s over!”

“But did you enjoy it?”

“No!” Mao answered immediately. “This is like … a mistake! I won’t do this anymore!

Sho smiled.

In a few more minutes, they reached the palace.

OUT!

The guard threw them out.

“Hey, what’s the meaning of this?” Sho retorted.

“Sorry sir, but we received an order form prince Matsumoto… don’t allow you, your sentinel and the ugly girl enter the palace.”

“What?!”

“Prince Matsumoto is in bad mood so please don’t do any move just leave this place quickly. Come back after a week, maybe that times our prince isn’t angry anymore!” the guard explained.

“So, Matsumoto didn’t like what we did…” said Sho, realizing what was happening.

“He described me as ugly girl?” ---Mao’s reaction (u__U)

“Don’t worry Mao… we’ll be alright. Let just go in North Village”

“In north Village?”

“Yeah... to meet your future master!”

Mao smiled “And then I can also see my brother!”

“Yeah, so let’s go.”

“There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter. Which luckily I am. --The Mad Hatter
