=================================================

Prologue

It was a lovely spring day, with birds singing and the sun shining. It was also the very day that the Daidouji Kingdom was celebrating Princess Tomoyo's fourth birthday.

"Can I give her the birthday present?" inquired Eriol.

"Sure," said the proud King of Daidouji.

Eriol walked up to Tomoyo and gave her a swan necklace. It showed a heart with a swan's outline in it.

"Thank you," Tomoyo smiled. "It's pretty."

Eriol just nodded before resuming following his father around.

Tomoyo just giggled and put the necklace.

During the celebration, however, nobody noticed an elderly, wrinkled old woman, who looked like she had shriveled up over the years, and whose name was thought to be Miranda. She was suspected to have wanted to take over the Hiiragizawa Kingdom for years, and was also the current queen of the "Dark Kingdom". There were rumors that said she had gone straight and others that said she was plotting to take over all the kingdoms and would start by taking over the Hiiragizawa Kingdom. But, it was known that she had two "secret" castles, one in near the Daidouji and Hiiragizawa kingdoms, but nobody knew where they were, despite the number of attempts to try to find them.

Miranda silently walked out and headed to the nearest castle, mixed some potions, and stirred them. A heavy green smoke drifted about in the cold chamber and finally, formed into an oval-shaped figure, with images of the possible future. She growled, clenched her fist, and banged it against her stone table. She looked up death spells and thought, 'If I can't have the Hiiragizawa Kingdom, nobody can!' and cackled insanely.

Suddenly, two guards banged through, grabbed her, and took her outside, only to see
Queen Sonomi.

"My Queen, she was trying to destroy you, and now we have the evidence that she was clearly plotting against either our or Hiiragizawa's kingdom" the first guard said, pointing to the book on the floor. "I think it is best if we give her a life sentence—"

"I see no need for that," she said. "She will only be banished from my kingdom, but we will also reuse that castle and change it into something else that will prove to be not so menacing."

"But Your Grace—" started the other guard.

"She will only be banished, and she will leave, NOW." Queen Sonomi turned her head to Miranda's direction.

"How dare you destroy my castle—"

Queen Sonomi pointed to the road and Miranda just smirked at her.

"I will be back one day, and everything you own, everything you love, will be MINE," Miranda snarled. "I will gain control of your 'future' kingdom, just wait and see…"

~ about two years later ~

The threat Miranda had promised had soon been forgotten, though. In a small kingdom in Japan, a little six-year-old was skipping around happily. Her name was Tomoyo Daidouji, and was the future heiress to the throne of Japan. She had bright amethyst eyes and raven-colored hair. One of her cute little smiles could just make you grin forever.

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"Do I have to see this English person?"

"Of course. You know very well that his future kingdom is as powerful as ours, and with both yours and his combined, you could live in one of the greatest kingdoms in the world!"

"I'd like that very much, Mommy. And where's Daddy?" Tomoyo gave one of her cutest smiles she could make.

The Queen Sonomi held back her tears and tried to keep a straight face. Thinking of her husband's death about two years ago was very painful. He was on a journey to visit the Hiiragizawa Kingdom until he was killed, and it was suspected a rivaling sovereignty, the one that was known as the Dark Kingdom, killed him. Others who disagreed said it was Miranda who did. Anyway, Queen Sonomi was a master of facial masks, like her daughter would be someday, and said, "I'll tell you when you're older."

Tomoyo pouted. "You never tell me anything."

She smiled and said, "I'll tell you that I arranged a meeting between you and the fine lad from the other kingdom so you two can marry."

Tomoyo wrinkled her nose and said, "Eeewwww…"

The mother chuckled, patted Tomoyo's shoulder, sand said, "We leave to see them sometime later at their castle."

~ at the Hiiragizawa Kingdom ~

"Who's that person?" asked a little cute boy, with his nose and glasses pressed against the glass window. He had bluish-blackish hair, along with azure eyes.

"That's your future wife," the King said.

"Who, the lady? I don't want to marry, and I don't like girls."

His father chuckled and said, "No, not the Queen of the Daidouji Kingdom, it's that little girl there, see?"

Eriol looked out and indeed, there was a little girl outside, and for a brief moment, felt something strange—was it destiny? The book he was reading yesterday ((haha…imagine a little tiny Eriol reading…-^_^-)) described destiny, but he quickly lost that feeling it as suddenly as it came. After about three seconds, he forgot completely about it. "I still don't want to marry. Do I even have to talk to her?"

"Yes, it would only be polite to do so. Be respectful and remember, when the princess comes, kiss her hand. Your mother would have liked it very much…"

Eriol recalled painfully the day he went to church because his mother had died from an epidemic, and how he made a silent vow to do whatever she had wished him to do before her death. "Fine, I'll kiss her hand—no wait…what am I saying?!? Bleargh!" Eriol made a face.

The King laughed silently and said, "Here she comes…"

The Queen and Princess of the Daidouji Kingdom walked in, looking around and saw Eriol and his father.

"Good afternoon, milady," King Hiiragizawa said, stepping up from his throne and gently kissing Queen Daidouji's hand.

"A good afternoon to you too, dear King," Queen Daidouji said, giving a graceful bow of respect.

Tomoyo curtsied, "Pleased to meet you."

King Hiiragizawa looked at his son. "Eriol?"

He looked up. "What?"

"Remember?"

Eriol sighed and walked up to Princess Tomoyo, and said his prepared line with extreme exaggeration so that Tomoyo knew also. "I'm very pleased to meet you." He cringed and shivered in fear, like he would never see the light again, and kissed her hand.

King Hiiragizawa and Queen Daidouji cooed, and walked off discussing "royal matters." Coincidentally, there were two different sinks at the opposite ends of the hall, and both Eriol and Tomoyo ran off to one of them (different of course). Eriol started spitting in one, wiping his mouth with a sleeve and washing it, and Tomoyo washed her hand and wiped it on her dress. After they were done, they glared at each other.

"I am sooo not going to like this," said Eriol, acting like a brat.

Tomoyo stuck out her tongue, turned away, and walked out of sight.

"Yuck, girls," Eriol said and walked the other direction from where Tomoyo left.

-------------------------

[Eriol:]

I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer I bet she doesn't wrestle, hunt or box

[Tomoyo:]

He looks conceited

[Eriol:]

What a total bummer

[Eriol and Tomoyo:]

If I get lucky I'll get chicken pox

[Eriol:]

So happy you could come

[Tomoyo:]

So happy to be here

[Eriol and Tomoyo:]

How I'd like to run

[Tomoyo:]

This is not my idea

[Eriol:]

This isn't my idea

[Eriol and Tomoyo:]

Of fun!

[Sonomi:]

*Eriol and Tomoyo playing with plastic swords trying to jab each other*

The children seem to get along quite nicely

[King Hiiragizawa:]

We'll join our lands if this arrangement clicks

[Sonomi:]

Hiiragizawa, that's my point precisely

[King Hiiragizawa:]

It's such good parenting

[Sonomi:]

And politics

So happy we agree

[King Hiiragizawa:]

I think we've got a deal

[Sonomi:]

Eriol's quite a catch

[King Hiiragizawa:]

This is my idea

[Sonomi:]

This is my idea

[King Hiiragizawa and Sonomi:]

Of a match!

[Sonomi:]

Good heavens, child, don't dawdle

We can't keep Eriol waiting

[Tomoyo:]

I haven't packed or washed my hair

And mother, I get seasick

[King Hiiragizawa:]

They soon will be arriving

Is that respect you're showing?

[Eriol:]

*throwing darts at a messed-up drawing of Tomoyo*

You make me kiss her hand again

I swear I'm gonna be sick

[King Hiiragizawa:]

One day Prince Eriol will be her intended

[Sonomi:]

Splendid!

[Townsfolk:]

Long before they met

Eriol and Tomoyo

Were destined to be wedded

[Maids:]

However, anyone could see

[Servants:]

The only point on which they didn't disagree

[Maids:]

Was that the very thought of summertime

[Maids and Servants:]

Was dreaded

[Eriol:]

She tries to talk me into playing dress-up

She's always flirting with the castle guards

[Shoji:]

I think you really sort of like her, 'fess up

[Eriol:]

I'd like her better if she'd lose at cards

Four sevens and a ten

[Tomoyo:]

I think I've won again

[Eriol and Shoji:]

Every time she's won

[Tomoyo:]

This is my idea

[Eriol and Shoji:]

This isn't my idea

[Tomoyo, Eriol and Shoji:]

Of fun!

[Townsfolk:]

We need a royal wedding

I'd love to be invited

At least we'll get a holiday to rest our ploughs and axes

Someday these two will marry

Two lands will be united

And with some luck their marriage may result in lower taxes…
