A/N Hello everyone! I came back with a new fanfic on Prince of Tennis that I called "Destined".

It's a fairytale with Ryoma and Sakuno as main characters. I hope you will like this story as much I love it *.* Before starting your reading, I want to tell that the main idea belongs to my dear sister who made up a story after listening to 2 songs by Kamelot "Forever" and "Wander". If you have an opportunity to listen to them, I highly recommend you to do so, because the fic is filled with the atmosphere the songs give.

So, now let's read, shall we? ^_^

Destined

Chapter 1

Once upon a time there were 2 Kingdoms, but unfortunately they were not fond of each other and didn't have good relations at all.

One day happiness visited the both Kingdoms. The heirs were born and it meant that each Kingdom gained a hope.

At those times there lived a beautiful kind and golden-hearted fairy who could understand what stars were telling. And lots of people went to meet the fairy and know what awaited them in their lives.

So, the rulers of those 2 Kingdoms also wanted to know their heirs' fates. And one day they rode to the fairy's house.

Queen Sumire arrived earlier than the other ruler, and so she took her little granddaughter in her hands and walked into the room where the fairy was sitting.

Unfortunately, little heiress's parents died when she was only 2 months old, and her grandmother took her in and promised to rise her the best she could.

"I knew you would come, Queen Sumire" said the fairy.

"Please, tell me, what awaits my little Sakuno in the future. Will she be happy?" asked an auburn-haired ruler, showing a sleeping baby-girl in her hands.

The fairy smiled and said gently.

"Little Sakuno will be one of the happiest princesses in the world because she will meet her soul mate in her life and find true happiness by his side".

The Queen's face brightened and she asked enthusiastically.

"Tell me, my good friend, who will it be? Who will become my granddaughter's soul mate?"

The fairy smiled and answered.

"That boy is only a few months older than Sakuno-chan. You will meet him very soon. He is coming here too".

And the next moment the door opened and King Nanjirou entered the room with a sleeping baby-boy in his hands.

"Here he is!" exclaimed the fairy. "Prince Ryoma!"

The Queen threw a look full of disgust towards a newcomer and his son.

"What's with the scary face, baba? Better give us the way. I came to ask about my son's fate!" said King Nanjirou arrogantly and made a step forward.

"So, dear fairy, tell me please what awaits my heir in the future".

The fairy showed a soothing smile.

"Your son will become a great ruler because he will find the true happiness in his life! This little princess and Prince Ryoma are destined to be together. It happens only once in 100 years but unfortunately sometimes people can't find their other halves and their lives fill with misery and sadness".

The King's eyes glowed with joy.

"So, my heir is one of those who will meet his soul mate! And she is…" he looked at a baby-girl in Queen Sumire's hands "this girl?"

"Yes!" said the fairy.

"No!" cried the Queen, hiding her granddaughter's face with a blanket. "It will never happen! Never in my life will I give my Sakuno to your son! You and your family is lack of the sense responsibility! Back off, Nanjirou! You and your scion will never have my pure flower and if you ever dare to do anything stupid to take her away from me, then it's war!"

With those words Queen Sumire sent a despiteful glare to the sleeping Prince and with a 'hm!' sound she left.

King Nanjirou just blinked in astonishment and pressed his son to his chest.

"Ryoma, I promise, she will pay for humiliating us…just she waits…mada mada da na".
