-xXx. Chapter one .xXx-

It's good to hear my thoughts once in a while Mikan thought as she walked down the hall. Who knew so many ladies would come to this party? Most of them were crowding around me and their fathers have a… unnatural glint in their eyes.

It was true that Kyo Sakura, who was actually Mikan in disguise, was very popular with the ladies. Not only was he the most gorgeous guy most has every seen but he was also kindest gentleman and the best rider in the country, not even the most stubborn horse can withstand Kyo's charms. He was the heir of Sakura family who is one of the most powerful families in the state not to mention that the Sakura's also have extended their fortune to foreign countries.

"Sakura-sama!" a voice called out. Mikan had to use every drop of self-control she had in her to prevent groaning, running away, or ignoring the call. Instead, she spun around and forced her face into a smile, hoping whatever expression she had on her face resembled it.

"Oh, Sakura-sama! I didn't get a chance to talk to you ever since I arrived! There are so many pesky brats around here today," said a girl heavily dressed with lace.

And you're one of them, Mikan thought.

"They mean no harm Lady Shouda," Mikan forced out trying not to notice the flashing eyelashes and the perfume the girl wore. It that was so sweet that it was disgusting.

Hardly a lady she is.

"All the talk about war is madness, there ain't going to be one, I wonder why everyone's fussing around the subject all the time," Sumire said.

"Perhaps there will be war, perhaps there won't," Mikan replied. "There've been target practicing and funding all year round. It's all up to the other kingdom.

"Oh, how wonderful you are!"

Mikan almost barfed at that. The girl was so cheesy. None of the girls interested her at all for she's not lesbian and she knew all their tactics. Even though her father insisted not, her mother still taught her how to be a lady and once in a while, she'll go to a party as a girl which, Mikan might add, was incredibly boring.

"Sakura-sama, the dance is starting. Shall we go?"

Sometimes Mikan wished that she wasn't a gentleman or that she wasn't a gentleman with such strict rules for any guy in her position can't afford to reject such an offer.

"Of course, Shouda-san."

Outside, everything was buzzing with life. Most of the men crowded around each other talking about war if they're not courting the ladies and many girls were sitting around bored while a small percentage of them were laughing with their beaux. The married woman and widows sat together talking about their dead husbands or pregnancy.

"HALT!" The voice echoed through the party and caught everyone's attention. Soon, a man appeared ridding on a chestnut brown horse.

"Sire Koko," Mikan's father spoke up. "What is the reason of your appearance today?"

"Sakura-san, it's starting. The war's starting. The other side has already reached south of our boarders and the civilians are the only ones defending them. All troops are to be made in a short amount of time and the war is to be started."

Many of the guests, including Mr. Sakura, looked amused while some looked amazed and shocked. A voice shouted: "We'll lick them in a month!" then every gentleman tried to get in their own two cents. While Mikan just stood there calculating.

The guys here were nuts, there was is no way to lick them in a month for when war starts, how will we get our supplies out to sell and the money to reconstruct the damages and…

"Kyo-san, good to see you again," Koko interrupted her thoughts.

"Yes, you too."

"It's finally starting…"

"No problem! We can lick them in a month!" said an unwanted voice which belonged to Sumire.

However Koko ignored her. "You joining?"

"Yes…"

TBC…
