"Ryu~%$#@&*!!!!" the panda murmered.
"Hm??Sakura, what did you say???"Haido asked with curiousity.
"oh...nothing...I mean ..thank Ryu for telling you that I'm
here..."Sakura tried to explain as he took off the panda head."Ah~~now
she's seen me in this stupid working clothes..doing this kind of silly
jobs..Ryu I must THANK you for this some other time!!"He thought.
"I see!!"Haido smiled and grabbed Sakura's chubby panda arm."You look so
cool!!And I want to try your job too, it seems so interesting!!!"
"wha..cool??Ha???? You..."
Coincidently, the kitty girl role needed a substitute, and the manager
allowed Haido to take the role for the day.
"Sakura~~here I come!!!" With her curly hair tied back and a pair of cat
ears on the head, Haido jumped out cheerfully and joined Sakura in giving
out balloons. Soon they were surrounded by many kids...but to Sakura's
great annoyance, many young men also came and tried to flirt with Haido...
"Mommy...how come Mr.Panda is so firece today??He's constantly waving his
fists at people ne..." a little girl said.
"Errr..."the mother thought,"these days strange people are
everywhere..just this morning we met one on that street, and now this in
the amusement park..." "Don't worry my dear..Mr. Panda is driving flies and
mosquitos away...he's a good good panda..."
"Phew!!So tired!!Those $#@% guys, dare to say such things to Haido in
front of me!" After a day of tiring work Sakura got out of the suffocating
panda suit as soon as he could. "Ah...must change fast..Haido is waiting
oustide.AH!!Hey!!! Haido, this's men's changing room ah!!!"
"Hehe!Sakura you're too slow la..."Haido peeped into the changing room
naughtily to surprise Sakura, yet the mysterious flower patterns on
Sakura's upper body fasicinated him."This morning Mana's attack distracted
me and didn't notice these patterns on Sakura..wow...they are..so so
cool!!!*_*"

"YOU FOOLS!!!!" the queen yelled with great frustration.
"I demand an answer from any of you!!Speak!!Who is responsible for this
unforgivable crime, answer me!!" Queen Tetsu's face was redden with anger.
All the servants and guards of Ciel who were summoned to this urgent
gathering remained in a deadly silence.
"So, None of you know what exactly happened to Prince Hyde?????"Queen
Tetsu struck her diamond cane on the ground and the sound seemed to be
echoing in the air endlessly. She sharply glanced around the palace hall,
and stopped her eye on Yukihiro.
"Yukihiro!!"The queen's eyes flashed."Rise!Explain to me why you are
shivering at my words!"
Prince Hyde's close servant Yukihiro rose,"Your..your
majesty...I..I..." his forehead was all covered with sweat. Trembling, he
looked back at the maid Izam and threw himself on Queen Tetsu's
knees."Wu~~~I'm..I'm terribly sorry!!!!" "Tell me, you know about
the whole incident???Why did you look at Izam??Come out,IZAM!!"
Under Queen Tetsu's questioning, the two poured out the truth of Prince
Hyde's disappearance.
"WHAT~~!!???You...two...you two idiots!!How dare you.." Queen Tetsu
cried hysterically."You two...you two must be responsible for this!!You
must go to get my beloved son safely back here!!Or else don't blame me for
what I'll do to you two!!"Testu was a famous super loving mom...
"Yes yes...of course your majesty..Please...forgive us...your
majesty!...we're so sorry!!We didn't dare to disobey his highness's
orders...and by the way...err..Prince Hyde was so eager to obtain
freedom!!He never leave our country in his life and...rarely er..travels
around in Ciel either.....we both act upon our love for the
prince...please...forgive us,spare our lives your majesty!!We would do
anything for the wrong we committed.. " Izam and Yukihiro begged,
understood Tetsu's worries as a mother yet they really sympathsized Hyde's
difficult situation.
"What, are you two accusing that I'm a tyrant mother???"Tetsu stepped.
"No no no no....your majesty...it's...just err...we're so sorry!!"
"He's such a delicate little boy!!I have to protect him!I can't stand
to let him leave my sight...any danger might fall upon him in the
outerworld.. "Tetsu saw some hesitation and troubled look in the two
kneelers' expression.These two people...if I don't tell them something
seious they might not be in urge to find back my little Hyde for me!!Very
likely they'll even followed Hyde's wish and stay with him on earth longer
too..I can picture that!
Queen Tetsu sighed,"I have ordered all of you never to let Prince Hyde
leave the palace unless he's accompanied by me... it's all because of a
horrible prophecy revealed to me at Hyde's birth!!I never told any of you,
not even Hyde himself.For I don't want him to live under fear and
anxiety...Wuwuw...."and began to cry.
"May I ask...What...what was the prohoecy that brought you such horror,
your majesty???" Everyone was frightened by the distress in their queen's
tone.
"On the day of my Hyde's birth, a famous prophet came and secretly
revealed to me that.." Tetsu tried to make up a sound 'prophecy' as soon as
possible, suddenly her mind blinked:why not just borrowing the plot of that
great romance novel I read some time ago!!"err..Hyde would fall in love
with a person with some peculiar, distinguishing traits on the body at a
place out of our country...then suffering and death would befall my beloved
son!"The Queen cried painfully."That is why I want to keep Hyde in the
palace as much as possible And now...you two helped Hyde escaped!!!What
will happen to him now??Wu~~~My Hyde~~!!!"
Shocked,Izam and Yukihiro trembled in fear and despair when they
learned the horrifying 'truth',"Oh~~~no!!Our idiocy had endangered our
prince!!!Your majesty...wuu....even death cannot repay for what we had done...
"Very well!!!I see your loyalty and love for my son!!I won't punish
anyone now since the situation is urgent!If you can find Prince Hyde soon
enough, I can forgive all of you...."Tetsu said in tears.
"Don't worry,Your majesty!!Here we swear to complete the mission even
if it will cost my life!"Izam and Yukihiro sworn ardently and determinedly,
then lost no time to set off their trip.
Tetsu smiled at her quick-witedness, but then she could not help
falling into a profound melanchony at the sudden lost of her lovely,
naughty son's company.

"What's up, Haido??Let's go home..it's getting late...We.." Sakura turned
back and found Haido stopped in front of the merry go round. The sky had
become dark already and all the colourful lights were being turned on.
"Sakura...can we..play this??"totally enchanted by the merry go round,
Haido looked at Sakura with dreamy big eyes.
"Err...Alright alright!!" Sakura sighed.
The merry-go-round strated moving but Haido still hadn't made up her mind
which horse she would take. "Sakura!!!"Haido cried in panic.
"No need to be afraid!It's alright!!Just grab each bar you can reach and
slowly walk towards me!" Haido nodded and carefully trying to approach him.
Sakura was captivated by the beautiful sight in front of him. Brilliant
lights of the merry go round shone upon Haido.As she moved changing colors
seemed to be reflecting on her white dress; when he met her gaze he saw a
rainbowlike reflection in her translucent eyes.Finally Haido reached him
and sit on the horse together with him.To Sakura, the world now seemed to
be turning round and round. He felt as if in a dream for the moment, only
together with this heavenly girl...
When they entered the apartment, Mana was already there arranging a big
pile of clothes in the living room.
"Where have you two been!!!!"She questioned."You little wit..err,
Haido, I've brouht you these clothes, satisfied now??"Mana was frustrated.
"What happened to you Sakura?"Mana didn't like the look on Sakura's
face, he looked as if he was..spellbounded."Nothing...you two just make
yourself home here..."Sakura walked into the bathroom thoughtfully.
"What did you do to my Sakura!!!You little witch!!"Mana asked in a
raging voice."I didn't do anything!!Oh,What clothes did you get for
me???Hyde asked excitedly.
"Hiss~~~for a witch like you I don't bother to buy new clothes! I just
dug out some old stuff I used to wear when I was younger."Mana said with a
distaste.
"Ha..I don't know you're that old now...ttt..."Hyde teased Mana.
"Are you trying my patience??"Mana roared."these childish stuff are for
you, coz I'm no longer a little girl now!"
"Huh???"Hyde was greatly puzzeled.Seeing the clueless Hyde, Mana
continued proudly,"I'm Sakura's woman now!Ohohoho..."
"Err..."Hyde didn't really understand,"Err, whatever...hey, but these
clothes just look similar to what you're wearing now!Just the size's a bit
smaller...."
"Shut up, you fool!"Mana was furious but Hyde already started to go
through the clothes she brought him.
"Anyway, thanks Mana @#!$%&*!!!!"
"WHAT~~~!!!"Mana yelled."I'll kill you!!!!"Mana immediately took out
her whip.
"Ah..why so angry???I'm just trying to thank you...I was being polite
and kind to you!!!"Hyde jumped around the room again.
"You call that a 'thank you'??Eat my whip!!!!"
"This Mana is really starnge....I memorized Sakura's expression
already...maybe I pronounced it wrong??Must be....I'll try again some other
time, practice makes perfect!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"AH~~~~SO BORING!!!"Hyde said to himself."Sakura's gone to work and
both Ryu and Sugi kinda disappeared together...sigh...luckily Mana's gone
for now, ah well...I'll go and see if Ryu etc are back".
Hyde put in the key Sakura gave him, but there was no body in Ryu's
apartment."Where can they go???"Just as he was thinking, he saw Sugi and
Ryu at the door, looking all wet and tired. There was also a little rabbit
following them.Ryu's face was unusally red and he obviously did not look
well."What happened?!" Hyde asked.
This day Hyde had been really busy.He taught Sugi how to take care of
Ryu..went to Club extacy and back to find Sakura..and turned out that he
had made such a laughable mistake about the curing method of Ryu's sickness!!
"Sakura..quick quick!!!Ryu looked really horrible this afternoon
ne!!!"said Hyde anxiously as he dragged Sakura along.
"Eh??TMR???Mr.Hide???And...err...(that's Michii^^)',You all came to
visit Ryu???So kind of you!!!"Hyde led the whole party to Ryu's apartment
hurriedly, totally forgot how he taught Sugi to cure Ryu....
"Bang!!" Ryu, Sugi! I bring Sakura to visit you, and I met your working
crews in the stair, so we come in together...."
"AH...."Sugi was frozen by the shock.Other people were stunned by what
they saw
Hyde immediately closed the room's door and for some time he was
speechless and obviously shocked.Seeing that, Sakura calmly pulled Haido
back and led the whole party out of the apartment.
"How can Ryu do that to you Haido!!!"TMR's hot blood was
boiling."You're his gf!!!" At these words, Sakura was a bit startled but he
remained silent.
"Yeah...it's kinda strange ne..Ryu doesn't look like this type of
guy..."Hide said.
"Well, this's Ryu's private matters and he..."Michii
hinted,"Shuu....we better not discuss it here..look at Haido..."
Hyde was still froze with a blank expression on his face.His big eyes
seemed to be staring at nothing."Don't worry Haido!!!I will take care of
you!!!"TMR grabbed Hyde by his shoulders with a serious expression.
"Huh??What???" The shock given by TMR brought Haido back to
reality...^^"Ohoh....I'm fine...really."Hyde said weakly.
'It's OK.I can take care of her."Sakura finally spoke out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"So?" Sakura broke the silence between him and Haido."You... are Ryu's gf??"
"No....I'm not..."Haido replied, his mind still seemed to be wandering
around."It's a long story....but, Sakura?"
Hearing that Sakura was a bit relieved and he looked at Haido.
"It is...so...different from the text books I read..."
Realizing the real cause of Haido's shock, Sakura laughed and responded
in a light mood.'My, you're really an interesting girl."
"Girl??"Haido suddenly remembered something."Hmm, can this be associated
with something Mana said last night!...."
"What did she say???"Sakura was very interested.
"Err....she said she is not a girl anymore, she is your
woman...so...from what I saw just then, Sugi is now Ryu's woman?????I'm
confused...and I'm still a girl???"Hyde said with a deeply troubled
expression.
"WHAT~~Mana told you this~~"Sakura's chicken skin all stood up."Don't
pay attention to her..she's just..."
"But, can you explain that to me??"Haido stared into Sakura's eyes.
"I think...no problem......." Sakura closed his eyes as he moved closer
to Hyde...
"?????This is...I can feel lots of makeup powder wor..."Sakura opened
his eyes again.In front of him was not Hyde's angelic face but Mana's
expressionless one."Euuuururuukkk!!!When did you come in, Mana!!!!"Sakura
immediately leaped away."My dear!!My mouth got blue lipstick!!and white
powder too....errrkk..."Sakura rushed to the toilet.
"See???That's the first step to become a woman."Mana said to Hyde
triumphantly, whom she was sitting on.
"You dare to push me so hard to the floor, and sit on me like
this!"Hyde shouted angrily as he shook Mana off him and stood up.
"No need to be so angry....hahaahh...you should be grateful that I
showed you how a kiss is like." Mana was now in a good mood."I came to make
dinner for Sakura..err..you can have a little little bit."
"What?You know how to cook?"Hyde asked with disbelief.
Mama flamed,"Yeah!Bet you don't!I'm gonna be the best cook in the
world," and pressed towards Hyde,"for Sakura only'.
"What you're going to make tonight??"Hyde was so hungry by now and
forgot what just happened.
"curry rice" said Mana condifently.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"You stupid thing, I've told you many times not to eat so much!!"Mana
yelled at Hyde as she waved the spoon.
"Wuuu....can't help...curry rice is my fabourite...I love it
ma....wuwuw...my stomach is so painful..I'm going to die now...."Hyde cried
with his face twisted by pain.
"Of course you'll get stomache!Eating so much these few days!! Ah..Sakura
might get mad at me..."Mana got afraid when she saw Haido in such painful
situation."OKOK!!!!Don't cry, I'll take you to a doctor!!!!You're such a
troublemaker!"Mana took Haido's arm and hurried to the door.
"Where are we going????Arrrrrgh..." Hyde moaned.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Bang bang bang!!" the doctor turned around and listened
carefully."bang bang!!"
"It is it!!!I haven't been mistaken!!Yes!This sound....how I miss it...so
sweet..so romantic..always makes me feel like drunk...it's my beloved's
platform shoes knocking on the door...hohoho..." the doctor murmered
intoxicatedly to himself and opened the door.
"Ma cherie!Je te veux..."the doctor opened his arms to the visitor.
"Save your gas Gackt!I'm not here to listen to your speech!!" Mana
pushed Gackt back into the house.
"You have to see this patient now!"Mana said as she dragged out a girl
behind her. "She got stomachache!"
"???Is this your friend???I never heard you have any girl
friends!!!"Gackt was very curious.
"Doesn't matter."Mana gave Haido a sharp look."Just cure her
stomachache and I'll come back later to pick her up!" Mana threw these
words at Gackt and left.
"Wait~~~"
"Ah....so painful ah..." the girl said.
"Hmmm!!!"Gackt studied the girl."It's so strange...how come Mana would
care about you???But you're kinda cute though..hoho..."
"Wuwuw...."Hyde was already in tears.
"OK...what did you eat recently??"
"Mana...Mana's curry rice...."
"What~~~!!???You got the chance to eat her curry rice!!!!So lucky
ah....anyway, your sickness is no big deal.Here, eat this."Gackt gave Hyde
a little pill and Hyde swallowed it instantly."Take a little rest and I'll
be with you within a minute."
Soon the pain was gone and Hyde now could look at his surroundings
with a clearler vision, not just with aquinted eyes like some time
before..^^ this doctor's place is so different from the one in my
palace.Aiya...so many Mana pix on his desk...^_^and many pretty girls' pix
+ phone numbers too....wow..this doctor got so many beautiful
patients?Suddenly Hyde heard a groan coming out from behind the screens.At
once Hyde was burning with curiousity.He peeped through the screens and saw
Gackt taking care of a person...at first he could only see a piece of
broken glass sticking in the big wound on the chest.Some small trances of
strange black smoke kept coming out of the wound from time to time. When
Gackt moved away to get an operation knife, Hyde gasped at a very familiar
face in amazement."P...Princes...Ino!"
How..how come she's here, and so terribly wounded?????Ah, it must be
related to some sort of evil plan from the dark moon which Sugi mentioned
before!!!Poor Princess Ino!!I must help her!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jun was so tired of her entirely life.The king never really set his
eyes upon his daughters, and it seemed that her only use was to be a piece
in their chessboard games.She could not do much protest for her power was
so weak in comparison to her elder brothers.Jun looked around the
grandeously furnished toom.This is not my room.This is Princess Ino's...and
this place is the moon kingdom...but what's the difference?I am not being
valued anywhere.Jun thought miserably.Am I a happier prisoner in the claws
of my brother..than the one who is mourning beneath me?Princess Jun thought
of J.She never met anyone who can have such love towards another person.She
was deeply touched by his selfless love and determination he showed the
first time she saw him.How I wish I am you, Princess Ino!After their first
encounter, Jun secretly stole down to the cellar several times just to peep
at J.Each time she saw him, there was a strange, gentle feeling which rose
inside her, urging her to comfort this distressed guard.
"That's it.I will talk to him again today!"Princess Jun made up her
mind."If I succeed...I can bring him into light again and...maybe I can try
to make him...love me.."
"Princess...Ino, you really..want to see the first guard J again?He
might harm you!And he doesn't seem like surrendering!Let me go instead of
you."Her own guard Kohta asked worriedly.
"Yes.Accompany me.You are the only one I really trust, this time I
don't want too many people to follow me."
When they reached there, J's cellar was already emptied. There was no
sign of fighting, only some trances of magic was left in the air.For the
first time, Jun could not name her own feelings. It seemed to be a mixture
of disappointment,hatred, and despair."I can recognize this hateful
magic!!This is Imai's!!My loving brother's guardian! Is it again part of
their marvelous plan?Why???Why do they deprive me of everything!!!Even the
slightest chance for me to dream, to love!!J must have escaped to find
Princess Ino!obviously with the help of Imai.Why?Why does he help him??
Kohta saw the changing color on the princess face and was
terrified."Your highness!!Please...calm down.." He could sense the immense
growth of her power following the rise of her anger.
"Don't come near me!"Princess Jun suddenly said in an icy cold tone.'I
am not be your princess anymore,I refuse to be!"
"Princess!!!"
"I was constantly given missions, but never I was informed about of
what are they about, just instructions following instructions!"Jun screamed
as he ran up the stairs."Princess!!Where are you going???Wait!!!Wait for me!!"
Soon Princess Jun arrived at the passage that connected the Moon
Kingdom to the earth.
"I'm no longer afraid of anyone, or anything!"Jun laughed crazily."I
will go where ever I want to!Let them carry out their great plan on their
own!"She said as she jumped into the passage.
