Uhhh, yeah. I wrote it if that's what you mean. It's my fanfic, then I upload them to fanfiction.net for other people to read.

Princess Pride knocked on Netto’s door softly. Netto sat up, surprised. “Who is it-nya?” he called suspiciously.

“It’s just me,” Pride called back. “Can I come in?”

Netto got up and turned the doorknob. To his great surprise the door opened. “It’s not locked-nya,” he said a little mystified.

Pride nodded, “I know, I was surprised too. So, can I come in?” she asked again.

“Oh! Of course-nya!” he said, motioning her inside.

Pride walked inside and gave a long sigh. “This is horrible,” she said. “I know I bought myself some time, but how long will it last?”

Netto shrugged, “As long as you want it too-nya. You’re smarter then he is.”

Pride smiled, “Thanks Netto. I have no idea what I’d do without you.”

Rockman smiled and quietly turned off his video feed to give Netto and Pride some privacy. When he turned around he saw Ocelot behind him. “What do you want-nya?” he asked, crossing his arms.

“Relax, I just want to talk,” she said.

Rockman raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you the bad guy-nya?”

“That’s what I wanted to talk about. Listen, we’re not bad guys, we’re not good guy’s per say but we’re not bad. We’re not out to get you, and I’ll promise this much, we will end up helping you in the long run,” she winked.

“Wait, what do you mean by that-nya?” asked Rockman.

Ocelot shook her head. “I won’t say anymore, just know that we’re not evil, okay?”

Rockman nodded apprehensively.

“Good, now want to see your friends?” she asked.

“You mean the other navis-nya?” Rockman asked, still a bit untrusting.

“Yes, but I wouldn’t bother your operator if I were you, I think the princess needs to get some things off her chest,” Ocelot nodded to the dark window link.

Rockman sighed, “All right, but if this is a trap-nya…”

Ocelot laughed, “Kid, I pride my self on two things, never being wrong, and never lying.”

Rockman let himself grin at that. “All right-nya.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

In the room, Netto and Pride were talking about their current predicament. “He wants you to marry him-nya?” Netto gasped.

Pride nodded, “Yes, if someone marries me then they become king or prince of my land depending on whom I choose to marry.”

Netto made a face, “From what you say about being royalty I don’t think I’d like being royalty-nya.”

Pride laughed for what felt like the first time in days. “You are one of the few people that would say that Netto.”

Netto smiled, “Well, can’t you just tell him no-nya?”

Pride sighed, “If only it were that simple,” she said.

Netto looked puzzled, “What do you mean-nya?” he asked.

Pride shook her head, “Never mind.” She pulled Netto into a tight embrace, not even bothering to be discreet. “Never mind,” she whispered.

Netto turned a healthy shade of red and hugged her back. “Poipu, are you okay-nya?” he asked. As soon as the question left his lips he chastised himself mentally ‘Of course she isn’t, isn’t her country on the verge of domination?’

Pride nodded, “Yes, I am right now.”

Netto smiled and leaned into the hug. “Well that’s glad to hear-nya. I was starting to get worried about you.”

“Don’t worry about me, Netto. You should start worrying about yourself,” Pride said, with a concerned look on her face.

Netto looked up and cocked his head to the side, unknowingly making himself look very cute. “Why would you say that-nya?” he asked.

Pride felt a faint blush on her cheeks and answered haltingly “Well, I think Prince Dhruv might have more planned for you then meets the eye, that’s all.”

Netto smiled, “Is that all-nya? I’ll beat him!” Netto made an exaggerated gesture that sent Pride into a fit of giggles.

“I’m just saying be careful, that’s all,” she said, starting to rub Netto’s ears again. Netto leaned into the touch and didn’t say anything. “Netto, you know that even through all this you still stand by me and make jokes and somehow make this almost enjoyable. I feel a little guilty thinking that but, I can’t help it.”

Netto smiled lazily and his tail started to twitch as Pride continued to rub his ears. “Don’t-nya, I feel the same way.”

Pride laughed, “I thought you did.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Rockman followed Ocelot into a rather large and spacious computer to see his navi friends standing or sitting around. “See, I said you could trust me,” she grinned.

“Rockman,” Searchman went over to his friend and gave him a genuine smile. “Glad to see you’re okay-nya,” he said softly.

Rockman nodded discreetly and said “Yeah, I feel the same way-nya.”

Elecman came over and glared at Ocelot, “What is she doing here-nya?” he asked coolly.

Rockman raised his paws in a pacifist gesture, “Its okay-nya, she’s actually trying to help us-nya.”

Ocelot bowed graciously extending one hand in front of her in a sweeping gesture. “I do what I can,” she winked.

“See-nya!” said Rockman. “She can help us, and she told me that she can find almost any information on the planet-nya.”

“How can you be so willing to trust her-nya?” asked Knightman.

Rockman stopped and looked a little embarrassed, “She was nice to Netto-kun and I, and I don’t think it hurts to trust people-nya,” he said.

Searchman looked her up and down, he prided himself on being a good judge of character and he really couldn’t see anything that would say she was lying, so she was either a very good liar or she was telling the truth. He hesitantly put his paw forward, much to the delight of Rockman. “I trust Rockman’s judgment-nya,” he said.

Ocelot smiled and took it in a firm somewhat exaggerated shake. “I must say it’s an honor to be working alongside the legendary Searchman, you and your operator are quite a pair,” she purred. “I hear you rescued an entire village from a heating system malfunction in the middle of a Sharro winter once.”

Searchman looked startled and Rockman giggled. “I told you she was good-nya.”

Ocelot smiled herself. “It’s also nice to see that you trust your friend so much.”

Coloredman held up his paws, “We’re not so much friends as, acquaintances-nya,” he said quickly.

Rockman and Knightman smiled and nodded at Coloredman and Elecman, they knew that they would never admit outright friendship with the blue navi, but it was there all the same.

Ocelot nodded, a feline grin curling her lips. “Of course,” she said.

I have school, I have skating and I have parents to look out for. So please, be patient, I don't live to give you updates. I write so I can enjoy myself.

After a restless night of minimal sleep, Pride was awakened the next morning by a servant asking her to go downstairs to meet the prince. She quietly obliged and followed the servant without saying a word. When she got downstairs Dhruv gave her a sweeping bow and held out his hand. Pride looked at him icily and said, “What are you planning this time?”

“Planning? I’m hurt Princess, all I wish to do is show you the sights. Now is that so bad?” he asked in a tone usually reserved for five year olds.

Pride gave him a glare that would freeze water and grudgingly took his hand. “It would be an honor,” she said in a wintry voice.

Dhruv smiled and led the princess to a carriage waiting outside and helped her inside. Then he went and sat next to her, giving the driver a hand signal. As the carriage trotted forth Pride sighed and looked straight ahead. “Where is Netto?” she asked.

“He’s with Ocelot and the others, so is your navi and the others. Don’t worry, today is just the two of us,” he smiled at her.

Pride glared at him with a look of disgust. “You are to stay away from me, understand?” she hissed.

Dhruv nodded, “Yes, milady.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/

Netto woke up much later then he was normally allowed by Rockman, but maybe that was because Rockman was nowhere to be seen. He looked around the bedroom chamber and wondered vaguely where the hell everyone was. It wasn’t like anyone to just leave Netto alone, especially Rockman, who knew what damage could ensue.

Somewhat reluctantly he swiveled his ear looking for a sound telling him where his friends and enemies might be. Not hearing anything in particular except for the lonesome sounds only a hundred year old castle could make he got out of bed and decided to explore.

First he tested the door, making sure it wasn’t locked, and just as Pride had said the night before it was unlocked. He figured if he was not allowed to go out of his room the door would be locked, and even if it was, he didn’t care. Netto never paid attention to locked doors before, why should he now?

The castle was everything a medieval castle should and could have been. It was dark, dank and drafty. Not exactly the pinnacle of comfort or state of the art security. All the better for Netto who didn’t care either way about anything but finding out where his friends were.

Continuing down the empty hall he came across a giant statue, caked with year’s worth of dust. It was a majestic figure, overlooking the castle for the centuries since it had been built, but had long singe fallen into neglect and loneliness. No one seemed to care for the large being anymore and this aroused Netto’s natural curiosity.

He saw a nameplate under the large statue and blew on it, trying to clear the dust. The small dirt particles rose into the air and mixed in with the oxygen particles sending Netto into a sneezing fit. After the dust settled he looked at the name carved deeply into the stone at the foot of the statue. The name read “Sir Lionel the Brave.”

Netto pondered over the name for a few minutes when a large shadow was cast over him. He stood up and whirled around almost tripping over his tail.

Ocelot gave him a large feline grin and nodded her head towards the statue. “Sir Lionel the Brave, once the ruler and overlord of this fair province. He was a much respected man; as was his lineage. All of his predecessors were fair rulers and kept this peaceful place out of any large conflicts and wars. The province of Faranea was well known for its calls of peace, not belonging to any large country and its delicious apples. That is, until Dhruv took over.”

Netto looked back at the statue and then he looked at Ocelot. “Why are you telling me this-nya?”

“I just thought you’d like to know. You have much curiosity young one, but it could end up getting you into trouble,” Ocelot said, in all seriousness.

Netto squirmed uncomfortably, he knew he was caught doing something that he probably shouldn’t have been doing, weather the doors were open or not. “I don’t care, I was just looking for Rockman-nya,” he said.

Ocelot nodded, “Understandable. He’s just with his friends, don’t worry.”

Netto shook his head and looked at Ocelot with a puzzled expression. “Why are you being so nice to me-nya?” he asked.

Ocelot placed her hand on Netto’s head and rubbed his ears, just as Pride had done so many times before. “I have my reasons, you and your navi are very important in Dhruv’s plans. Plans that I would rather,” she paused, searching for the right word, “avoid.”

“But why? I don’t understand-nya. If we’re so important, and if it’s because of the neko virus-nya, then why not Enzan and Blues-nya?” Netto asked.

Ocelot shook her head, “It doesn’t matter, and besides I won’t tell you anymore until the right time. Your navi has been told the same thing, you two can speculate over it as you wish. We still have quite a bit of time.”

Netto crossed his arms, “You’re annoying-nya.”

Ocelot laughed, “Well, I should hope so! I’m a cat, remember?” she winked at Netto, causing him to blush from embarrassment. He didn’t like to be laughed at. Ocelot smiled and steered Netto away from the large statue. “Come on, I need to make sure you don’t get into things you shouldn’t Koneko-kun.”

Netto turned a furious shade of red, “K-koneko?”

“Of course, you act like one, don’t you?”

Netto had nothing to say to this, and grudgingly followed Ocelot down the hall.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Pride rode along in the carriage as it plowed down the streets of the once proud capital. The small town was once scenic and quaint but now it painted it’s self in shades of grey and black, and if in mourning for some loved one long since past.

Even worse then the town was it inhabitants who wandered to streets as ghosts would, floating from one place to the next in a somber mood. It was almost too much for Pride but she continued to look anyways. However her hands curled in her dress and her fists shook with rage as she saw more.

“Isn’t this place beautiful?” Dhruv asked silkily.

“Yes,” said Pride through gritted teeth.

“I just live this province, so wonderful to come too. The smell of apples and the laughter of children.”

Pride listened but she heard no laughter and all she could smell was the salty sea air mixed in with the sour smell of rotten fruit.

“Ah, here’s a good place to stop,” said Dhruv giving a hand signal.

The carriage rolled to a stop and gingerly pride climbed out accepting no help from anyone. She had her pride and she would damn well keep it for al long as she could. Nothing would be taken from her without her consent.

Dhruv offered his arm to her and pointed to a shabby looking restaurant that in a previous lifetime was probably one of the most beautiful places on earth. She walked into the restaurant without taking Dhruv’s arm and sat at the place given to her.

“Ah, care to have a drink?” Dhruv asked.

“No thank you.”

“Oh? Not even the apple cider, this is one of the world’s largest apple producers,” he said coyly.

“It was,” muttered a male voice sitting directly behind Pride only loud enough for her to hear. She made a mental note to talk to him later, asking him what he meant.

“So, what do you wish to have, my dear?” Dhruv asked in a smarmy tone.

“I shall have nothing. I am quite full from last night.”

“Oh, had some dinner did we?” Dhruv smiled. “And here is me thinking you just talked with the Neko-boy all night.”

Pride blushed and blanched at the same time, her skin changing colors as fast a Dhruv could blink. “I believe that is none of your business.”

“Oh, but it is my dear, everything you do for the next two weeks is my business, and you can’t escape from it,” he smiled at her, giving Pride the impression of a jackal or hyena.

“I wouldn’t be too sure of that,” she said through gritted teeth.

“Hm? Well, regardless, I just wish for you to have a good time. So, what would you like to eat?” he asked again.

“I shall have whatever you will have,” she said.

“Very well, I believe you will find my taste in food quite good.”

Pride rolled her eyes and looked out the window with her chin cupped in her hand. Outside she saw two finely dressed men walking towards the restaurant. They were completely different from the rest of the town, in their finery but it was old and moth eaten. However, they carried themselves with a certain air that was missing from all the other inhabitants from the town.

They walked into the small wooden building and over to their table where one man slammed his hands down on the table making Pride jump.

“Dhruv, you snake! You lied to us again!” one yelled.

“Gentleman, gentlemen,” Dhruv cooed in an oily voice, “I lie to no one, now what is the problem?”

“You promised us a new order of apple seeds last time you were here, I want to know, where the hell are our apple seeds? How are we supposed to uphold the economy of this town while you tax us if we don’t have our commerce?” he growled.

“You have apples, have you not?” Dhruv asked.

The men nodded warily.

“Well then, can’t you just use the seeds from those?” asked Dhruv giving the men an icy stare.

The men stood there with their mouths open. “How DARE you! You came in here and took over our land, forced us to pay taxes and took away our capital income, now you expect us to just go on our merry way after you’ve sucked us dry.”

“Such is none of my concern,” said Dhruv. “You may go now.”

The restaurant was dead silent.

Dhruv looked at them in the eyes, “I said, you may go now.”

But the men did not budge, here were two leaders pushed to their breaking point.

Dhruv sighed as if he was being annoyed by trifle matters as children fighting over a doll. “Guards,” he said lazily.

Pride had seen enough and stood up from her chair every part of her shaking. She pulled back her hand and struck Dhruv across the face with a deafening slap. “How,” she started, “How DARE you ignore your people’s wishes! How could you, telling them to live on their own only after they prove to be of no more use. You, you, you miserable excuse for a leader.”

Dhruv sat there stunned, as did the rest of the restaurant. Then a small clap came from the back of the room followed by another and finally what Pride thought was anger ringing in her ears turned out to be applause from the people. The man sitting behind her stood up and looked at Pride with a kindness and hope she did think was possible in the dismal town. “Thank you milady,” he whispered and walked out of the restaurant.

Dhruv cleared his throat and the applause died down. He looked Pride in the eye and smiled. “Very well, you shall get your wish this time Princess. I shall send a shipping of apple seeds within the next 24 hours.”

Everyone allowed hope to peak in their hearts once again as Pride and Dhruv left. Once outside Dhruv grabbed her wrist. “But don’t expect me to do that again,” he hissed.

Pride wrenched himself from his grasp and fixed him with an icy stare. “I shall do whatever I wish, for as long as I see fit. And neither you nor anyone else can change my mind,” she said.

Dhruv chuckled, “Except for the neko child.”

Pride gave him another glare and stepped into the carriage, but she knew in her heart that she had just presented Netto as an even bigger target then he was before.

Note: Koneko means kitten. That's Netto's offical nickname now :D

Netto=Koneko? That's such a cute nickname! Oh and I almost forgot...

*starts lobbing rotten apples at Dhruv* Take that you ba..uhh...bad person! Yeah, I meant to say bad person. :V

Anyways, that was an awesome update. I don't think I saw any mistakes, but then again, I'm not very good at English. Keep up the good work! :]

[Saito-Rockman]

Koneko means something? When I read the line, I thought Ocelot was just being creative with the word Neko. But it's a cool nickname none the less. Great update, Neko.

[Roy Tanaka]

It's official, your fics have turned me into a koneko. How am I typing...?XD Great update, Neko, I personally think that if Rockman didn't belong to Capcom your stuff could be published.

[Yue-chan]

such an awsome chapter, Neko. Huzzah for Pride slapping Dhruv, he really deserved it. can't wait for the next chapter. *hugs*
