Summary: Princess Mizuki has been betrothed to Prince Izumi since birth but doesn't know about it, until her 16th birthday that is. Not wanting to marry a guy she doesn't know, Mizuki cuts her hair, disguises herself as a guy and heads out to Osaka Kingdom. Meanwhile she tells her family she's going to get to know her new husband. What she didn't tell them is the fact that she's meeting him as a guy. What will happen?
A/N: Hi there! This is my first Hana-kimi fanfic. Won't you be nice and review my fic? Pretty please? Anyways, this inspiration spurred when I read a fanfic about Hana Kimi and I couldn't help but wonder what if Mizuki and Izumi were royalty. How would Osaka High be different? Please read and review! Thanks.
Chapter 1 – What Do You Mean I'm Betrothed?!
"What do you mean I'm betrothed?!" Mizuki yelled across the room. "That…" she sputtered. "Is just insane! How can you do this to me? It's so overrated! This is the 21st century!"
King and Queen Ashiya cringed in fear. They knew this would happen one day. King Ashiya sighed and tried to talk to his daughter again. "Look Mizuki, once you meet him, I'm sure you guys will love each other."
"Love?" Mizuki scoffed. "You mean like love first sight father? That's only in fairy tales."
"Common, I'm sure when you meet the guy, you'll like him."
"No way! How do you expect to marry a guy I have never seen before nor have any feelings for? You guys are just insane!"
"Mizuki," King Ashiya started gently.
"Look, I need some time to think father," Mizuki said and walked out the door.
'I can't believe father and mother actually betrothed me to some prince! I'm too young to get married!'
She stormed off into her bedroom and sat on her bed. She took out her teddy bear and hugged it tightly. It's a pretty worn out teddy bear, but she loved it. With it, she felt weirdly at ease. She didn't even know how she acquired the bear in the first place. But that's not the point. The point was she's never going into a marriage without knowing anything about this Izumi Sano. Turning on her computer, Mizuki sighed and called her best friend, Princess Julia. "Hello?" Julia said. "Hi," said Mizuki. "Mizuki, do you know what time it is?"
"Yes. I am aware. But this is an emergency!"
"What is this emergency?" Julia asked her.
"I'm getting married," Mizuki said bluntly.
Julia almost choked on her coffee. "Married?!" Julia yelled over the receiver. "How? When? Did he get you pregnant or something? How come you didn't tell me? You're horrible!"
"Slow down!" Mizuki told her. "I got betrothed since birth and didn't know about it. How did you get the idea I was pregnant?"
"Well, you said it was an emergency…" Julia said slowly. "Anyways, to whom are you betrothed to?"
"Izumi Sano."
Another choking sound occurred on the other end of the line. "The Izumi Sano?" Julia asked her to make sure.
"Yes?" Mizuki answered. "Why…is something wrong?"
"No…he's quite handsome actually but…"
"But what?"
"Nothing…you'll see once you see him."
"What do you mean Julia?" Mizuki wondered what her golden haired friend is up to now.
"Because you are going to see him firsthand. Open the email I sent you," Julia told Mizuki.
"Guy chefs needed full time at Osaka Kingdom," Mizuki read.
"So, what do you think?"
"I think it's a great idea. I mean, I love cooking…but it says guys only here," said Mizuki.
"That's why my dear, you are going to disguise as a guy and get to know prince Izumi," Julia exclaimed happily into the phone.
"I find how this prince actually is and convince my parents why I should not marry him! It's perfect! Thanks Julia!" Mizuki cried happily in the phone.
"Um well that's not what I had in mind, but glad I made you happy," Julia sweatdropped.
A/N: There. How's that? Please read and review! And if I see not many people are interested (aka not many reviews) it might take longer to finish this fic seeing that I'm working on multiple fics. Feel free to check out my inu fic "Game of Seduction" though. That one is updated really fast.
