An Impossible Love

A long time ago (well not that long) when technology or even electricity have not yet been discovered, there was a princess who excels in everything she does. The whole kingdom admired her for kindness, wisdom and beauty. But she has a secret that only a few know, she is an angel, but not just any angel, she was the princess of heaven. They knew that because she has incredible powers that no human can achieve. Her parents were the king and queen of the heavens. But despite that they tried to keep their powers hidden so that they will not get attacked by demons who want them killed. The princess name was Hikari Hanazono.

One winter evening:

"My lady it's time for dinner", the servant said.

"I'll be right there", she answered. 'I hope that prince will go away after dinner. He's been here since New Year. I don't want to see him ever again. He's big liar, acting all high and mighty just because he has a good body. I can see through his actions.' she thought to herself while walking towards the dining hall. She's already 18 years old so her father has been finding her suitors that will marry her even though she's against it.

"Ah, there you are milady, have a seat", the prince said and helped Hikari sit. "Why thank you." 'What a gentleman but I bet that won't last long if I reveal his true nature.' Hikari thought, scheming to humiliate Prince Hajime Kakei in front of her parents to prevent their approval of marriage.

"So Prince Hajime Kakei, what do you think of our daughter?" King Jiro Hanazono asked the prince.

"Why she's so beautiful, probably the most beautiful woman in the world. She's so smart and kind, you can't find a woman like that anywhere so she's so precious that nothing could ever replace her, and if I become his husband I will make sure she's always safe and happy." the prince said, not wanting to stop talking about how great and strong he is and how great Hikari is. Hikari was starting to get irritated although it doesn't show on her face. She wants that mouthful prince to shut his mouth, finish eating and get out of the palace.

Then she started, "Thank you for your praises. If you would excuse me I would like to go to restroom." Then she stands up and winked at his younger brother, Prince Jiro. That's a signal for his brother to go with her because they always try to make all suitors like him get humiliated in front of the king and queen to prevent the approval.

"I would like to go too." Prince Jiro said then followed her sister. When they were near the restroom they went to the room next to it. It's was meant for the servants extra room to put their excess stuff.

"Okay, Can you help me embarrass that annoying prince so that he can shut up and go away?" Hikari started.

"Yeah, he's so annoying and boring I would like to get out of there or faint and die. So what's the plan?" The prince answered. "Okay I'll tell you" she whispered the plan to his handsome brother then nodded.

"Okay, let's do it!" they both shouted. Something crazy will happen.

They both returned to the dining hall, "Sorry for taking long" Hikari said.

"No worries my dear" Hajime said smiling, trying to impress the king and queen with his humble words.

"So about the proposal…. What do you think my dear" Queen Masako said, trying to get an answer from her.

"Could this wait for a little while? We're still eating, it would be disgraceful for the food to be ignored" Hikari said trying to avoid answering the question.

"Of course, you're right. You care so much about food." Her mother replied, she can see what her daughter is trying to do but she paid no mind into it.

Hikari was getting ready she has a potion in her hand that would make that annoying prince tell the truth not some lies and compliments about her. She raised her hand then dropped them down quickly that no one saw it except his brother which was a signal for him to start the distraction.

"Okay, how about some entertainment?" Jiro said carrying a violin with him walking towards the stage which is located at the right of the room. This will make an opportunity for Oichi to pour the potion on prince Hajime's plate since all of them have to turn around to face the performer. The music has begun. Everyone is now turning their attention to the prince as for Hikari she opened the bottle and quickly poured the potion so that no one will notice. Then she hid the potion and turned her attention to his brother.

The song ended everyone applauded at Prince Jiro. Then the Queen suggested: "How about Hikari give us a performance too?" Everyone nodded and agreed. Hikari has no choice and since she was finished with the mission all that is needed is for Hajime to eat it, so she followed and asked one of the servants to get the piano. All was set and she's ready. She bowed then sat down and sang:

Tooi natsukashiki keshiki

Yasashi yuki no kaori

Togire togire no kiokuo

Tsumuide michi wo sagasu

Kuru idashita sadameni

Tashi ka na moenomae mo nanimokomo mienai

Too kute mienai chiisana temoshibi

Negaru hodo miushinau mono

Fukaiya miwo kirisaeteku koto wa

Kokoni aruto kanaderu sanbihika atatakai namida

Koboreochiru ikuyuku kagiri

Sora wo aogu akai hitomi no tsuketa

Asuhe no michi arukidasu.

The song ended, everyone was entranced by her voice. It felt like an angel has sung for them, which was true but Prince Hajime was the only one who didn't know about that. The prince's praised Hikari for the lovely and touching performance and she thanked him for the compliment.

"Okay how about we continue eating?" Hikari offered.

"I'm already full so I don't think I can eat anymore" Hajime said rubbing his stomach. But Hijari insisted: "Please just one more bite, how about I feed you?" "Why from you I will eat anything Princess." he said. "Then say ahhhh..." "Ahhh..." The fooled prince ate and was delighted that she got Princess Oichi to feed him. After 5 minutes: "Mmmm... That was delicious, I can't believe I finished my plate" He was so full that he might get fat.

Hikari was smiling so brightly because the prince fell for the trap. 'What a fool in just 2 minutes you'll be going home to your kingdom empty handed and be ashamed of what will happen next.' the princess thought.

Everyone has finished eating, now it's time for the Queen to ask her daughter again: "Now Hikari, about the discussion earlier, what do you think?" Hikari talked back with a smile on her face: "How about Prince Hajime, what do you think?" "I think I was entranced by the beauty and wisdom Princess has shown. I was thinking of making her my Queen because she would make a great trophy for me that would make me the most powerful man in this Earth. From what you can see I have what it takes to protect her. Everyone will be jealous and will be bowing before me that I married the wisest and beautiful woman the whole world has seen. Ahahahaha~"

The King and Queen gasped at what they've just heard then the King said: "How dare you say that, my daughter is not a trophy that should be shown just to make you powerful and make everybody else feel jealous. I will never give her to someone who only thinks of himself and his position in this world. Get out of our kingdom and don't even think that you can go back here and be welcomed. And in addition, tomorrow I'm going to declare war between you and my kingdom. Leave at once!" "Wait I can explain. I just-" Prince Toyotomi tried to let the King listen to him

"I don't want to hear your explanation on what you said. I believe in what I hear and the best option for you now is to leave this place immediately before I have you killed or have walk you to your kingdom in the freezing snow outside barefoot." The King said furiously, trying to calm himself.

"Right away goodbye then." The prince said and left the room. They heard him stomp and said something to himself angrily. The Queen immediately attends to his husband, trying to calm him down.

"I'm glad he was gone, this one's so boastful, I can't believe he said that in front of us but it's great that he said that or else we would have agreed to let him marry our daughter." The Queen said "Anna, please clean up, we're finished now." She added. "Right away, my queen." The servant replied. "Then I'm heading to my room now mother." Hikari said. She doesn't like hearing her parents talk so she wants to go back as soon as possible. "Me too" Prince Jiro said then stood up. 'There's something weird about those two, later I'm going to make them speak about what they're hiding' the Queen thought dragging his husband to their room.

When Hikari and Jiro made it to her room, they made sure they lock it, they don't want anyone to know about what they did. "I can't believe our plan worked. He sure was scolded harshly by father" Jiro said laughing. "Yeah and tomorrow father's going to declare war against them. I really hate that man who does he think I am? An award? How about I show him what it feels like to be a trophy?" Hikari said with a face showing how angry she is.

A knock on the door was heard; she opened it to see Anna, the servant. "Her Majesty would like to have a talk with you Princess and Prince Jiro too." She said which made Hikari and Jiro thought: 'Oh no we're in trouble!'

They followed Anna towards the lounge where their mother is, seating in her hand was the potion Hikari hid which she forgot to bring with her. They already know what will happen next.

After they both sat down, the Queen quickly asked raising the potion: "What is this?" "Uhmmm... It's a…. ummm..." Hikari's trying to make the words go out of her mouth but she's having a hard time. "From the potions you always bring to me to take a look at it, it's what you named the truth potion."

A lightning struck Hikari's head, this was the 10th time she was caught using potions at the suitors, 5 times using magic and 6 using the servants but she let herself take the punishment of the servants since she was a kind-hearted person.

"How long are you going to drive away all the suitors we picked for you? This was the 21st suitor that you rejected. Why don't you give them a chance?" the Queen tried to reason with her daughter.

"Chance? Mother from what I see they're nothing but selfish people who just want to marry a princess that's beautiful to show everyone how lucky he is to get a woman like that. If I had an ugly face, would anyone like you even though you're an excellent woman? No, that's how their minds work, mother. Even Jiro here doesn't like anyone of those men you pick. If you ask me mother, I would like the suitor to be Jiro." Hikari said hugging his handsome brother. "Sister!" Jiro said, trying to be free of her sister's grip. "Or be like him. And I want my husband to marry me because he loves me, not to just marry me and forget everything and dump me into the trash like nothing or just use me for his desires. So please mother, understand me." Hikari said with a sad expression like he was going to cry.

Her mother walk towards her and hugged her tightly while saying: "I know, I love you and I want you to be happy with your life so let's look for suitors that will love for who you are. But you need to stop trying to embarrass or kill them." Hikari just nodded and hugged back.

Jiro was just staring at her mother and sister and said: "It looked like I was here just to see your drama and rate it. For me you're acting was 40/50, your lines was 24/25 and your impact on me only 5/25, the 5 points was because sister hugged me. And so you're overall performance was 69%, which is from the last 20, this is the lowest of them all. My personal favorite is still undefeated, the one when we poisoned Prince Yahiro, mother was so furious her face looked like it was going to explode and everyone in the room felt became deaf that we can't hear anything else except for mother's voice. This one's so disappointing. I trust you two will do better in the future." The three of them just laughed that Jiro has being evaluating their conversation like it was a play that you get evaluated

So after that, they were allowed to go back to their room and rest for today. Hikari was exhausted and relieved that she prevented another suitor from marrying her. Then she mumbled something before she fell asleep: "I'm not going to find the one for me if I don't do it myself."

How was it? Sorry if I have some misspellings in the story. This is my first fanfic I'm sorry if it's not good. Please review and say your opinions, I would like to see how I did. And the song Hikari sang was Hitomi no Kotoe by Noria, It's the ending song of 7 ghost. The song was lovely so I think it will fit perfectly with Hikari. I'm still going to continue the story, so I hope you would follow the story.

Thank you!
