"Presenting, their royal highnesses, Sakura and Shintaro Momomiya!" the announcer bellowed through the large corridor to meet the cheerful reply of the people.
"And today," Sakura started off.
"We will be presenting our daughter to the court." Shintaro finished.
Soon, a girl walked onto the stage, red pigtails bouncing eagerly as she stepped over to her parents.
Deep Blue had been watching in aw from the crowd of people as the girl gracefully entered his line of sight, usually, he didn't care at all about a girl. But, this one, she was the most elegant creature to ever grace his sight.
"I must have her, I must!" he mumbled as he snuck closer to the stage, trying not to give away the fact that he was a royal.
"Now, Ichigo dear, have you found the right man for you?"
"No, not as of yet mother." she stated politely as she waited for her mother to continue.
"Ichigo, I thought you said you had it handled!" her mother was furious now. "Fine! If you won't go find a husband, we'll choose for you, you have one year." she stated moodily.
A collective gasp could be heard from not only the crowd, but from Ichigo as well.
"Madame," came a voice from the crowd. This caused everyone to stare at the man, Deep Blue, his eyes shinning bright blue, his hair waving down his back. "If it will please your majesty, I will be happy to marry her."
"Guards, arrest him!" Shintaro yelled. But, before the guards could reach him, he'd jumped up onto the stage and grabbed Ichigo around the waist. And, with a strong gust of wind, they were gone.
