• ***Azuri's P.O.V.***
    It was well into the night before the little prince shifted, waking from his sleep. I hadn't meant to scare him so much; he'd passed out on me before i even got to tell him all i'd wanted to. See i'd been watching this little guy from my window--what with nothing better to do in the middle of the night for an insomniac without a TV. He was cute, small, but somewhat of a brat in my opinon. He would come out of his room and stare out at this dump of a town and actually look depressed, as if he had anything to be depressed about! So i thought i'd show him a thing or two, show him what my life was like, that way he'd at least be **** thankful for all the riches he got up in his fancy castle. I didn't plan on keeping him for long or nothing, just a week, or at least that's how it started. But i'm getting ahead of myself. Right now he was waking...
    Kohai stirred from his sleep and his crimson eyes fluttered open. But to tihs day i can think of nothing i could have done to be prepared for his reaction to seeing me: the little guy screamed and slugged me in the face! Completely stunned by this i gripped my jaw as he leapt from the couch and scurried franticly to the door. He was already fiddiling with the lock by the time i leapt up and snatched him.

    "Hey!" I growled. "Where do you think you're goin'? Stop that!" I had my arms around him, gripping his wrists and pulling him back against me. He struggled for only a moment before he fell into tears.
    "Let me go!" He begged. "Please i didn't do anything!"
    "Stop whining." I picked him up bridal style, carrying the pompous brat back to the couch and sitting him this time in my lap so i could hold him still. He fought against my hold for a few minutes until he finaly gave up and met my eyes with his own soggy wet ones.
    "Don't hurt me.." He plead. I rolled my eyes.
    "I'm not going to hurt you. Don't be so dramatic. You're the one who punched me." I pointed out. He just lowered his head. I sighed.
    "...Where am i...?" He asked after a moment.
    "My house. Sucks, i know, a lot less fancy then your palace up there." My words dripped with venom. The little boy trembled in my arms. He made it hard to stay mad at someone so pathetic...and cute.
    "W-why did you take me?" He asked, still not lifting his eyes.
    "Because you're a spoiled rich brat who gets off acting all depressed because he has to look out at us lower class all day." I said frankly. He cringed a little in my grip, probably fearing i was mad and that i'd hurt him. But i kept my hold gentle; my goal was not to injure the kid. At last he spoke again;
    "What are you giong to do to me?" His voice was so low it was nearly a whisper. I considered scaring him a little but thought better of it. He looked terrified enough as it is. So i answered honestly.
    "I'm going to show you what really makes you qualified for being depressed. Trust me, after a week or so of seeing how people like me live, you will be overjoyed just to get a motel."
    Once again his reaction was one i did not expect: Kohai's gaze shot up to meet mine in shock, but unbeliveably he smiled.
    "You are?? You'll keep me here with you? Down here?" His voice was full of enthusiasm, as if i'd just said he'd won the lottery or something. I arched a brow.
    "Thats what I said."
    "Thank you so much!" He exclaimed.
    At this piont i was completely and utterly confused. My whole point was to make the kid miserable for a week, not get him to think of this as some sort of field trip. "You're happy about that, little twerp?"
    He ignored my insult and nodded.
    "WHY?"
    He giggled, as if i was missing something obvious. "I've always wanted to live down here--with real people, real problems, away from all the professors and tutors expecting great things from me. I can't believe you'll actually give me that. I never thought this would happen!"
    And, contrary to I thought his reaction would be, he wrapped his little arms around me and hugged me adorably. I shook my head in disbelief. 'Well ill be!' i thought. 'This couldnt have backfired any worse. Maybe this kid isnt who I thought he was...'
