Author's Note April 2010:

READ THIS!

In case you haven't visited my profile page, here it is:

This story is one I am not proud of.

There have been parts I copied from other authors. Parts of it were subconscious - I had loved the setting of one of nerd witch's stories so much I wanted to write one too. It ended up sharing many similarities of her story. Other parts of it (the original summary and one line) were almost identical to Strawberry-d's story. For the summary, I had thought that everyone on fanfiction had similiar summaries, so it was ok. (I was new online and aged 12. I was stupid). For the line, I thought that was ok as long as credit was given. Once again, stupid.

So if you can, don't read this. It's not a ploy of reversal psychology to get you to read it, but the truth. It's a) bad. b) not as original as I would have liked it to be.

You can read some of my other works. They don't have the same issues. Also, read nerd witch's and Strawberry'd's stories. They're tons better AND original. :)

I'll say this in my defense: At the time, I did not think I was doing anything wrong. This of course, was very stupid, but I was twelve and that was an age of stupidity. I had obviously done wrong. If this were suable material, I would have no lawyer. I was also very tempted to delete this fic, but it's kept here for several reasons:

1) Some people actually like this story (but I don't deserve these good people)

2) I feel like deleting this would be like running and hiding (though I did establish a new and separate account, so that kind of is...forgive me!)

3) This will serve as a reminder to myself as well as others: don't copy/plagiarize. And I know many people are probably like the me at the time: they don't think they're copying, but they actually are.

If you want to see the back and forth arguments between myself and the other author, it's actually still in the reviews and in my A/Ns. To this, I must say: Holy crap. I sounded like a total jerk. I was trying to make light of the situation, but some of the stuff I said sounded extremely sarcastic and annoying. It wasn't intended that way, but I had a bad habit of writing with caps and using run on sentences. I'm not surprised the other author was mad.

Nothing else has been edited.

This is my SECOND Fic…so don't expect TOO good of anything…although I do hope it does attract lots of readers…YES MY FIRST FIC WAS COLLEGE LIFE! IF YOU HAVE NOT YET READ IT, PLEASE DO. ALTHOUGH MOST OF YOU PRBLY ARE READING THIS BECAUSE OF ＣＯＬＬＥＧＥ LIFE. Oh well…ON WITH DA CHAPPY!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own Shaman King. If I did, well, I wouldn't spend my time on FanFiction would I? Nooo, I'd be creating more episodes of it! (I do wish there were more episodes of it though…)

Title: Forbidden Love

By: ChibiAzn3

Summary: Anna Kyouyama. She was the Governor's one and only daughter. She was the one to marry Prince Hao. She was the one who fell in love with the Prince's brother instead.

(I got the idea from nerd witch's alone in the darkness. She inspired me to write this. Hope you enjoy!)

Prologue

Dream

"Now Anna darling, Daddy just needs to go into the palace to have a little chat with his friend alright? Stay here by the car. Daddy will be right back." A tall blonde man told his daughter.

Anna nodded. Then her father went inside.

Anna started to wander around. She couldn't wander too far, the guards would start scolding her. She walked over to the little bridge over the moat.

It was too high. She frowned. She climbed onto the railing and leaned in. There were many fishes. The fish were swimming under the bridge. The more under the fish swam, the farther Anna leaned in to watch them nd then…

SPLASH!

"Aahh!" Anna screamed, "I-c-Can't s-swim! Halp!"

The guards began to panic. Non of them knew how to swim. And the moat was deep. Some rushed off to find help. Some were climbing down fomr the side of the bridge.

A young brunette saw this. They were never going to reach her in time. He took off his jacket and dived into the water.

"Hang on!" He yelled.

"Help!" She cried one last time, now sinking into the water.

"Gotcha!" He cried as he reached in and pulled a blonde girl up close to him.

"Th-Thank-you…" She stuttered and coughed.

The boy dragged her ashore. "You alwight?" He asked panting.

Anna nodded. "Yeah."

The young boy grinned sheepishly. "Wanna play sometimes?" He asked stupidly.

Anna smiled. "Sure!"

"Anna! Anna!" A voice cried behind her. Her father.

"Father! Father! A young boy just-" Anna turned around to notice the young boy had disappeared. She sighed sadly. He was so handsome and nice.

"Anna? Anna? Lady Anna?"

End Dream

"Lady Anna? Lady Anna?" Her housemaid was knocking her door. "Lady Anna? The Governor wishes to speak with you."

Anna sat up in her bed. "It was the same dream again…"

"Lady Anna?"

"Yes."

Anna scoffed. Her father. The Governor. What did her father want this time?

There was only two things her father ever cared about: His money. His reputation.

Anna was simply something that shined his reputation, a beautiful daughter that earned everyone's respect and awe.

Her parents never so much cared for her more than they did about the commoners in the streets. The only thing her parents cared about was her beauty, manners, and what she would bring to the family name.

All her life, she had been an ornament on a tree, a decoration.

All her life, she did nothing but bring fame to the family name.

All her life, she was taught beauty, manners, and elegance.

All her life, she was nothing more than a tool.

She walked over to the window and sighed as she saw girls her age running around freely. She would never be allowed to do that. Not as long as she was the Governor's one and only daughter.

She had pretty much everything a girl could want. Yet she still missed out on almost everything a girl needs.

She had never had caring parents.

She didn't have any siblings.

She barely had any friends.

She barely had any fun.

She never experienced true love.

She was simply an empty shell. Beautiful and magnificent on the outside. Empty on the inside.

"Lady Anna?"

Anna sighed as she turned away from the spot. "Alright, alright. I heard the first time. And Tamao?"

"Yes milady?"

"Don't ever call me that again." Anna pointed a warning finger at the pink haired girl.

"B-But…Lady Anna…you know I am of no position to be your friend, and I am only a housemaid, I am of no worthy of calling you by your name." The pink haired girl flustered.

Anna sighed and rolled her eyes. "I don't care. If I am your Lady, then you will do as I say."

"I B-But…Lady Anna-"

Anna glared at the word 'Lady'. Tamao flinched.

"Yes, Lady Anna." She finished.

Anna sighed and waved her friend away. She was hopeless.

"Lady Anna. I mean-Anna." Tamao said coming back through the door.

"Yes?" Anna asked.

"Your father, the Governor wanted you to wear this." She said taking out a fancy long dress.

Anna glanced sideways at the dress her father asked her to wear and sighed. She took it grumpily and slammed the door shut to change. Turning her thoughts back to her dream, she remembered. The next few weeks after that incident, the small boy always came to her house to play. Her parents didn't know. At least, she thought. But then…

Flashback

"Mommy! I'm going to go out and play!"

Her mother stopped her. "Do you mean with that young boyyou always play with?" Her expression was grave.

Anna was shocked, but hten replied happily "Yeah! He's very nice! I told him I would meet him today! How did you know Mommy? How did you know?"

Her mother shook her head sadly. "Anna, sweetie, he's not going to come today. Nor ever for that fact."

Anna frowned, "Why Mommy? Did you forbid him to come? Why? Why?"

"No, Anna, listen…do you know what his name was?"

Anna nodded her head. "He told me his name was Peter. He had brown hair, and always smles."

Her mother shook er head sadly. "No. His real name was not Peter. He was the King and Queen's second son. Heir to the throne of our kingdom."

"Wow! Really! Then I've gotta go tell him Mommy!" Anna squealed excitedly.

"No anna, He…just yesterday, while his brother and he were out walking, they stumbled upon a group of very bad people. His brother managed to escape, but he didn't…" Her voice trailed off.

Anna looked up confusedly.

Her mother sighed. "His body was never found. He's probably dead by now…"

Anna looked up in shock, and ran away crying.

End of Flashback

That was what happened. She never even got to know his name. She only knew that the crowned Prince now was his brother, Hao Asakura. She sighed and began to sob.

"Father? Father? Father you called?" Anna asked putting on her sweet voice.

"Anna? Is it you?" Her father asked turning away from the window to face her.

Anna nodded.

"Good. Good…" Her father said, his mind clearly still on something else.

"Father?"

Her father snapped back to reality, looked up and smiled. "Have a seat Anna."

Anna took a seat uncertainly.

Her father smiled and sighed. "You certainly have grown exceptionally beautiful, my dear daughter."

Anna scoffed in her thoughts. "As if you'd care…" But of course, didn't show it. Instead, she forced a smile.

"You are almost sixteen." Her father continued, turning his back to Anna and facing the window once more.

"Yes…"

"As you know, a young lady is considered an…an adult at age sixteen."

Anna frowned she did not like where this conversation was headin.

"Yes…"

"And when you become an adult, you…get married…" Her father's gaze now fell upon her again.

Anna's eyes widened. Her father COULDN'T mean…no…

"Anna." Her father walked over to Anna, putting his hands on her shoulders. "My friend, Mikihisa, and I had a little chat yesterday, and we-er- have arranged for you to…marryhisoldestson." He said rushedly.

Anna's jaw dropeed. She looked up to her father who was beaming. Apparently, he seemed to think it was something wonderful. Anna, however, did not. "NO!" She stood up shrieking

Her father was taken aback. "Wh-What?" He stammered.

"H-How c-could you!" She slowly backed away, then she turned, and ran.

So? How was it? Awful? Well…this was a pretty crappy chappy… I'll continue if ppl like…If I do…then I promise next chappy WAY BETTER… Anna is of course, going to meet up with Yoh.
