Uchihahazel-chan: Hey guys!! This is my first time writing here in fanfiction so please be nice to me X3, I really hope you like this because I've been thinking of this story for quite sometime now and I would really like to pose it somewhere so that everybody can read it. If you think it sucks please tell me! I'm very open for suggestions! I really want to improve my writing skills so, please tell me what you think.
I've really want to make this story so much and I don't know why, giving the naruto world a different flavor is a tough job and the main cast is also hard to handle! (Where talking about the Uchiha Itachi here!!) I want to maintain there personality so I didn't change it . . I think.
Okay I'm gonna stop talking now (I know a lot of people really don't read this crap TT).
So here it is!! ENJOY!!
I'm here . . the girl sighed.
Mashirou Hikari is currently standing in the in front of the Koukyo Seimon in Tokyo, far from the really small Barangay of Bagong lote in Malabon Philippines. She was sent here by her parents right after they died 3 months ago, she didn't want to come here in the first place because she can take care of herself; she's Sixteen and just finished high school. But due to the lack of money and a mail that she received from what she calls a "Japanese men in black" on her graduation, she has no choice but to come. The mail contains a passport, a plane ticket to Japan, a credit card, a picture of her parents and a letter from a certain someone. Hikari decides to read the letter as she stood there before going in, her knees still shaking of disbelief.
- - -
Dear Ms. Hikari,
Congratulations on your graduation and sorry for this sudden interruption, I am Masato-no-miya, you can also call me Akihito-jiisan if you wish; I am the Emperor of Japan. You must be started by all of this but your father and mother must've told you about this matter correct? then I won't explain much further.
I am very sad to what had happen to your parents, your father was good man and a good friend to me, I promised him that whatever happens to him our family would gladly accept you into our residence. Your mother also told me that her daughter wasn't the kind of person who will accept this kind of offer and will not come, she also told me that you are stubborn and a hard worker so you will choose to live on your own. I just want to say that you are very young, you are sixteen and you can't support yourself yet, I really wish for you to come here and you must also know that it is for the best, so please . .
This envelope contains your passport and ticket, please inform us when you are arriving. Till then please take good of yourself, My family and I will be waiting . .
From Ojii-san.

Hikari put the letter back into her pocket, her heart was beating non-stop.
She thought that when she finally entered that gate . . . her life is going to change forever.
Chapter #1
"The Royal family and Mr. Pretty boy"
She looked around before crossing the Nijubashi bridge, there were a lot of ducks in the moat and the place looks like really interesting; it really looked much more beautiful in person than in pictures. She can't believe she's going to live here.
There was also a lot of people around the East gardens. She really wanna go there before entering the Imperial palace grounds, but its really wrong to let his majesty to wait, besides he was a really good man to let the likes of her live in his house.
Okay Hikari! Let's do it!! the girl thought to herself.
Hikari walked across the Nijubashi bridge slowly like a turtle, every step makes her want to go home. Because of this some of the tourist and locals who were in the gardens saw her as she walked across the bridge. Crap! she was noticed. One of the tourist guide called her presence.
"Hey you!!" she called "What do you think you're doing!?" the tourist guide was coming towards her. She was in serious trouble.
Why didn't I think of it!! A girl in about sixteen years with no standard in life, wearing casual clothes crossing this bridge!! Ok . . act normal . .
"Umm . . I'm really sorry, I was just lost and I was just thinking on asking the soldiers where is the nearest bathroom is! I'm really sorry!!" She lied. The bathroom!? what am I thinking!! she made the wrong move.
Please work . . or else . .
"The bathroom? but there are a lot people around here why didn't you just ask them? . . . wait, you know how to speak japanese and you don't look like a foreigner either . . you're not a tourist are you?" she asked her with a suspicious look. Who wouldn't be suspicious?
" . . N-no, of coarse I'm a tourist I just know a little japanese thats all!! . . . What!! a tourist can't learn how to speak japanese!?"
". . . you're lying are you?"
"N-no!! I'm not lying!!"
"Yes you are!! Its all over your face!!"
" No, I'm not!!"
Hikari and the tourist guide was so busy arguing that they didn't noticed a group of black cars and a limousine was waiting for them to move.
"Beep! Beep!" the car yelled at them. It was then that the 2 of them noticed that they have caused a commotion, everybody who was there was now looking at the scene.
Oh-Oh . . this is bad . .
A "long haired japanese men in black" who has gotten out on one of the car approached the 2 girls, they aren't moving because the cars has the Chrysanthemum seal in them. They both know that they were in trouble.
Mr. Emperor sir, I'm so sorry . .
"Who are you people? And what are you doing here in the Nijubashi bridge!!" The man asked them. The tourist guide immediately apologized and went out of the scene as soon as she can, leaving Hikari alone.
"What's your name? and what are you doing here?" he repeated. Out of nervousness she can't say anything. The long haired black-suited man sensed it and tried to calm her down. "Don't worry were not going to do anything to you, we just want to know why you are here?"
Hikari opened her mouth to talk.
"I . . have a . . business . . with his majesty!" Hikari yelled. She was frustrated.
The long haired man who was about 1 year older than her gave her a weird look. "Excuse me? . ."
"I said I have a business with his majesty!!" She yelled again.
The man didn't believe her, who would? His majesty has no time dealing with this things, he's a very busy man.
"You must be mistaken" he shrugged "his majesty has no time to talk for the likes of you."
Hikari was offended. Did his majesty told his subjects that she was coming? that from today on she will be leaving with them?
"Its true!! Why am I supposed to lie about this!!" she yelled again, her anger was building up. The bodyguard was a little irritated by her.
"Listen you-"
"What's taking this thing so long?" a man with a magnetic voice comes out of the limousine, he was very very handsome. If his hair was loose, he will probably mistaken as a girl.
The man has long eyelashes and long black hair that was tied in a ponytail, he has dark eyes and a nice body, in short; he was perfect. Hikari has never seen such nice features before, of coarse she has seen some on her country but he was different. He has that aura and look on him that will melt every girl in the way, she is quite melting herself.
The man was approaching her closer and closer.
"Leave us alone." he told the bodyguard. The black-suited man immediately obeyed and went back to his car.
Hikari looked around before facing him, she noticed that there were a lot of people looking at the scene than before, its like the whole Tokyo was watching her. She can see the people talking, girls who are looking head-over-heels for some reason, must be because of him and camera flashing and shooting photos of him. Who is this person anyway? She finally looked at him.
"What are you doing here?" he looked at her with his expressionless face, like she was just nothing. She was annoyed.
"How many times do I have to tell you people that I'm here because his majesty wants to see me!!" she yelled on top of her lungs, this time everybody who was watching them heard it, there was silence.
"Listen girly, I don't know who you are and I'm not interested to know too! All I want is to go inside and meet him! Its an important matter!!"
The man was looking at her with a quite irritated look, it scared her . . a bit.
"What is this matter?" he asked with a calm voice.
"Its none of you're business!! besides, I don't know you and you don't know me either, its rude asking me a personal question without us knowing each other." Hikari crossed her arms and looked at him in the eyes, she usually do that; but this is the first time she had a hard time doing so.
The man smirked at her. Does he find it amusing? She was once again irritated.
The people who was watching the scene was rather surprised by what they are seeing. Some are even recording the whole incident. Some are laughing because the they know that the girl was in serious trouble yelling at him. Who is he anyway?
"What? . ." she broke the silence "are we just gonna stand here? its 4:00 pm already, are you gonna help me or what?" she said with a little shades on her cheeks. He was still smirking.
Why the hell is he smirking?
"Why are you asking for my help? you're the one who said that we don't know each other in the first place right?" He started to walk away. She was dumbfounded, she ate her own words.
"I'm Hikari . ." she said with a low tone, her arms still crossed. He stopped, she spoke again "I just need to go there . . then I won't bother you. Its really important for me so . . "
"Open the gates." he commanded The soldiers who were in there post immediately followed, the "men in blacks" entered there cars and "girly-face" looked back at her.
"Do what you want and get out of the way." he said coldly and went back to his limousine. Why is he in the limousine?
Hikari followed him, she has no choice. The cars was passing at her, she noticed that no car was stopping by to get her. She was angry. She ran and followed his limousine, he didn't care so she yelled at him.
"Hey, girly!! aren't you gonna! let me in!! hey!!" she was out of breathe, his limousine stopped. He opened the window and spoke "I didn't say I'll take you there right?" his expressionless face and his tone finally made her blood boil. Hikari was so angry. The cars went inside and so is "the girly-face mobile" leaving the furious Hikari alone.
"You!! Girly-pokerfaced jerk!! I'm not gonna let you away with this! were not finished yet!!"
- - -
She didn't mind the eyes that was looking at her, this time she walked faster . . a little faster.
"That stupid girly-faced jerk! when I get my hands on him I'm gonna pound him like-" It was then that she noticed that she was already 2 meters away at the gate. Her heart was beating like mad again. She stopped and thought to herself
When I entered this place, I won't be the same Mashirou Hikari anymore. There is also a possibility that I won't go back to the Philippines again, and I won't see my friends ever again. Oh . . man . . don't cry Hikari! We don't know whats going to happen yet are we? Mom, Dad . . I don't know if I can do this but, I'll try . . I won't give up!!
Hikari wiped the tears in her eyes and as she looked up she saw a pale boy smiling at her . . scratch that, fake smile.
Great . . now what?
"Good afternoon Hikari-sama, I am Sai your personal bodyguard, from now on I will always stay by your side. It is very nice to meet you." As the palace guards closed the gate, Hikari's eyes began to widened.
"a what!? a b-bodyguard!!" she said in major this disbelief. "Yes, his majesty told us that your gonna live her starting for today and he ordered me to become your personal bodyguard." his fake smile was still there.
Hikari was surprised, she even has her own bodyguard. Sai walked closer to her and told her something.
"His majesty told me that you were a cute girl but looks like he was wrong, you look more like a Tanuki." He said with his fake smile. Hikari's mind went blank.
"W-what did you just say?"
"You look like a Tanuki." he repeated, still has the fake smile on him. Her anger reached its limits, and his stupid fake smile just makes her to errupt.
"Listen up Sai!! I appreciate his majesty's kindness but tell him that I don't need bodyguard! especially the annoying one!!" she shouted at him, she don't want to be rude to him since he is her bodyguard but she can't help it. He just gave him his fake smile.
"Yare-yare" he said. Hikari just let it go, she don't wanna ruin this much further.
- - -
"Hikari-sama, this way." Sai led her the way.
She was amazed by the place, it looked like the past and present japanese architecture was joined as one. There was a huge flower garden, a medieval japanese houses and many more, she felt really good just by looking at the place, it was so pretty.
Am I really living here? starting today?
"Sai, How big is this place?" She asked him, its really big inside. "Oh, lets see . . . do you know the central park in America?"
"Yeah what about it? . . " she replied. Her eyes was busy looking at the entire place. "If combined the Koukyogaien, east gardens, Kitonomaru garden and the Imperial palace grounds is roughly the size of the Central park." He said with a fake smile.
"Really!? woah . ." the girl said with amazement
Mom, Dad . . you guys are the best!!
After a while Sai and Hikari finally reached a big very old but modern looking traditional japanese house. It looks like a house from a samurai movie but with a modern flair. In the front gate the servants was lined up in two lines one for the boys and one for the girls, are they welcoming her?
"Welcome Hikari-sama!! from now on all of us is willing to take any of your request, we are very happy to meet you." all of them bowed at the same time and showed her the way inside. She felt like princess being welcomed by her subjects, It was really overwhelming.
"A-ah . . Nice to meet you too!!" she bowed, her face was red "p-please you don't need to bow at me like this . . I-its o-okay . ." she was really happy, she was never been welcomed like this before. One of the maid stepped forward and an old man introduced them selves.
"It is very nice to meet you Hikari-sama, my name is Suichiro Shirou and I am the butler of this house." said the old man "If there is anything you need you may ask me." Hikari looked at him she knew she has seen him before . . but where?
"It is very nice to finally meet you Hikari-sama, my name is Hyuuga Hinata, I am your personal maid. I will take care of your every needs. If you want something you can just say it to me." The maid has the same age as her, no doubt about it. She looks very friendly too.
"Its nice to meet you too. I am Mashirou Hikari, I promised that I won't be a trouble!!" Hikari bowed again.The servants of the house giggled at her cuz she looked nervous and extremely happy at the same time. Hikari scratched her head and felt a little embarrassed.
Sai received a call from his majesty.
"Hikari-sama, lets go, the Royal family is waiting."
- - -
Hikari's nervousness raised.
This is it!! Yosh! Gambate Hikari!!
Sai led her into large room. The room looks very beautiful, there were chandeliers, Japanese vases and many luxurious things, and there she also saw a very familiar face. The man was leaning into the wall, his eyes closed.
What the hell is he doing here?
"Hikari-chan! come here, let me see you." An old man who was sitting in the chair stood up and called her.
Is he . .
Hikari walked towards him and looked at the others who was in the room, There was a man whom she presumed to be at his 40's and a beautiful woman who looks a little like "girly-face" and the extremely good looking boy beside him.
Hikari looked at the old man and introduce herself "M-my n-name is M-mashirou Hikari s-sir i-its . ." she was so nervous. The old man patted her head and hugged her. "It is very nice to see you again Hikari-chan, I am Akihito and from now on I want you to call me Jii-chan. Is that ok?" the old man smiled at her. She felt very at ease with him, like she was his grandpa.
"It is very nice to see you too sir- I mean Jii-san . ." Hikari was blushing.
"Oh, you really look like your father now! I remember when your father take you into our summer house in Okinawa, you were-"
"Ahem! Ahem! father . ." The man who was standing next to the beautiful lady said. He looked like Jii-san.
"I'm sorry for my rudeness . . Hikari-chan this is my family." He smiled at her and led her to the other man.
"its very nice to see you again Hikari-chan, My name is Fukaku and this is my wife Mikoto. You can can call me uncle if you want." The man has an intimidating aura but has a calm disposition.
"I-its very to see you again sir . ." she bowed at him.
"Its very nice to meet you again Hikari-chan, I remember you so well. My name is Mikoto, you can call me Auntie if you want. I'll help you in every way I can." She was very friendly. Hikari remembered her, she was the one who gave her the pink kimono on her birthday, she was very happy at that time.
"Yes, I remember you too. Its very nice to see you again auntie." she smiled at her.
"Hikari-chan do you still remember my grandchildren?" Jii-chan said. Hikari looked at him with curiosity.
"I see, Hikari-chan this is Sasuke and Itachi my grandchildren." Jii-san led her to the handsome boy who was standing next to "girly-face".
Wait a minute . .
"I'm Sasuke, nice to meet you." he was very handsome and hot, he really looks like girly-face.
Could it be . .
"Nice to meet you too. . ." She smiled at him.
"Ah . . you two were so close before! I guess its different know isn't it?" Mikoto told her. Hikari made her anime sweat drop reaction. She remembers his name but she doesn't remember him well.
"And that man next to him is my eldest son, you probably remember him right?: Fukaku told her.
NO . . WAY . .
"When you first met him I remembered you called him pretty boy . . anyway he is my eldest grandson, the crowned prince of Japan, Itachi-no-miya." Jii-chan added.
Hikari's mind went blank for the second time, she don't know how to look at him now. Her expressions was mixed there was: 1/2 cup of surprisement, 2 gallons of embarassment, 1 cup of irritation and 1 tablespoons of happiness. Wait, why is there happiness?
Itachi opened his eyes and looked straight at her . .
Oh man . .
End of Chapter 1
Next chapter preview:
Hikari was busy roaming around the palace, it was already 9:00pm. The palace was very quite and beautiful, really different from the place she grew up in. And as she walks past a room she heard a very disturbing sound.
"Ugh . . nii-san don't ahh!! . . haaa . . . haa . . Ah!!" It was Sasuke. Hikari's face looked like a tomato, she was experiencing a major heartattack.
"Stand up Sasuke."
"I . . haa . . haa . . can't . . any longer . . "
What the hell are they doing in there!!
Hikari continued listening but it was over. The girl who was having a paranoia waited there for a while and a few minutes later Itachi came out, he looked quite happy.
OH. MY. GOD . . . they are . .
Uchihahazel-chan: How was it folks do you like it? please tell me what you think!! I'm very open with suggestions. Itachi's personality was hard to handle, I really had a hard time. Actually Sasuke wouldn't be in this chappy yet, but because I had a splendid Idea for the next chapter I introduced him here. Haha I'm so happy today!! I finished my first chapter!!
Watch out for Chapter 2!!
