* The Black Prince in my Closet *

* Five *

His lips touched me and I couldn't react. But before I could even utter anything, he collapsed in my arms. "I gave you my energy.You can carry and help me more this way." he mumbled and closed his eyes as he drifted to slumber.

"Christian? Christian?" I called out but there's no response so before I went inside the door inside my closet I checked first if Mom and Ran already left. Luckily, they're gone so I went in while dragging him. Even though he said that he gave me more energy and strenght-- let's not forget that he weighs twice as me!

"I really need to apologize for the incovenience," he mumbled while his eyes are closed and he has a grin.

"You are having fun, aren't you?" I growled.

"Having fun with what?" he sounded innocent but there was amusement in his tone.

I smacked his head. "With making me suffer by carrying you like this." I retorted and rolled my eyes.

"Careful, I suddenly remembered that there's a mud pu--" he was cut off when I slipped on a mud puddle and we ended up sitting on the dirty and yucky ground.

"--ddle. Let me guess, you almost want to kill me, right?" he continued and half-opened his eyes.

I sighed and stood up and feel...ugh. "If only I can." I mumbled and started dragging him again towards the so-obvious-because-it's-big castle of his.

"You can." he answered matter-of-fact.

"I can but I won't."

"Why?"

"I don't want to be a murderer, Christian." I muttered and ganced at him. He's still pale and could barely breathe. "What are you?" I blurted out.

"I already answered that." he replied.

"Not the partly human thing-y. I mean what is your position in here? In WHALC Kingdom? You look like a Prince or something but you're definitely not a--" he interrupted me.

"I AM a prince." he muttered which made me drop him in the ground. "OW!" He gasped.

I blinked before helping him. "S-sorry."

"Who the hell would drop someone who was poisoned in the ground like he's a sack?" he demanded and sighed in irritation. "I AM a prince but I always run away because I don't like being one."

"Why?" I asked and sighed in relief when I realized we're nearing the oh-so-big-it's-so-obvious castle.

He shrugged which made him wince. "I hate being stuck in a place for the whole day. I hate doing paperworks and always worthless duties. I want to be free." he responded and there was silence.

Unconsciously, I laughed out loud which made the birds/crows in the forest fly away. Well, you see, I laugh like a witch. Hohohoho. Hihihihihi, Hehehehehe, Hahahaha, -grin-

"You are like a maniac. Your laugh is so frightening. You scared the heck out of me. I almost died." he grunted and snickered.

I continued to laugh and he was passed on my laughing disease which made him laugh a little as well before we stopped dead in our tracks.

"Why are we laughing, by the way?" I asked.

"Idiot! You started it!" he grumbled.
