Chapter One: Masked Ball

The young 16 year old was getting ready for her birthday party, which was a masked ball. Mikan Sakura, the princess of Japan and joint ruler of China, was going to be married in only a few weeks to the man who would change her life.

He was named Hyuuga Natsume who was a month older than Mikan. But he was a prince of China. Both teenagers could speak fluent Chinese, English, Japanese and Spanish. But they didn't know each other. But were both prepared for what they were going to do.

Mikan was sitting in her chair that was in front of the mirror and she was putting in long, diamond and silver ear-rings. She looked beautiful in a long white and silver gown that touched the ground, white and silver ballet pumps on her dainty feet and fairy wings attatched to her dress that were transparent, scattered with gold glitter.

Her hair was in a plaited bun with lilies like a crown over her head. And she wore crystal Silver eye shimmer and pearl pink lipstick. Mikan was a true beauty and many men had tried to marry her, but she had turned them all down.

FLASHBACK

"I am so sorry Prince Ruka. But i can not marry you. You are already in love." Mikan had told a sad Prince Ruka. He sniffed then smiled as he straightened up. Only Mikan knew that he was in love with Mikan's maid.

"Yes. I understand Princess. I shall tell my father what i think." he had bowed out and then he rushed over to his one true love, Hotaru Imai. Mikan's maid, and best friend. Mikan was happy for them when her father had stormed in.

"MIKAN! That is the 18th suitor you have turned down!" he had yelled and Mikan shrugged as she turned around and smiled secretly to herself. She liked to make her father mad! But he hated it and he narrowed his eyes at his only daughter and snorted. He had an idea.

"I don't care. I only marry for love" she said simply. But he smirked as she turned around. She did not like her fathers look.

"Okay then... I will MAKE you marry! You will have an arranged marriage with the Prince of my choice! You will not meet him until your wedding day! Now off to bed Princess Mikan!" he roared and Mikan gasped as he made her go to her room. Mikan sobbed on her bed for the rest of the night...

END FLASHBACK

Mikan sighed as she finished putting her ear-rings in then found her silver mask with glitter on it and white swirls. Her party would be good. But she was dreading meeting the Prince she was to marry. But she would never see him at her party.

Mikan got up, putting her mask on and straightening her dress as she headed over to the door. She then gave herself a small smile.

"He might be handsome. And sweet. Or not. I dread the day we marry" she whispered to herself as she opened her door and walked out. There in the hallway she heard loud music and chattering royals or important people. She didn't want a party. But her father had ordered it. And what the king wants... The king gets.

A raven haired boy stood by the buffet table with his uncle. He looked un-amused and bored. His arms were folded while his uncle stuffed food in his face. This boy, was Prince Hyuuga Natsume. Mikan's fiancé. So he WAS at the party!

The young prince was wearing black pants and a red shirt with a black waist coat over the shirt. His mask was black and silver and it showed his deep, crimson eyes. He remembered what his uncle had told him a week before...

FLASHBACK

"Hyuuga! You will marry this Princess whom you share your country with or else..." his uncle Jinno threatened and Natsume turned to glare at his uncle.

"Or what...?" he asked threatingly and his uncle's eye twitched. Natsume lived with his uncle and older brother, Tsubasa. Who had already been put through an arranged marriage. But liked it a little as he had married his best friend!

"Or you will have to marry your cousin! Sumire of Australia!" Jinno scolded and Natsume froze, his eye twitching at his selfish cousins name. He then turned around again and sighed in agitation as his uncle smirked.

"Fine. I'll marry the little girl... But make sure i like her" he hissed and he walked off. Natsume cursed his uncle under his breath while Jinno grinned and walked the opposite way..."

END FLASHBACK

Natsume cursed bad words under his breath again as his uncle stuffed his face. He had only come to this party because his uncle made him. But he didn't know which girl was the Princess he was going to marry. He didn't even think she was there!

Jinno had told him that it was a distant cousins party! Cheeky liar!

So Natsume was stuck with his uncle by the buffet tablet, watching his uncle get fatter and fatter by the second. Tsubasa was there with his wife, he couldn't remeber her name, but she had pink hair and was tall (I can't remember the name!) Natsume sighed and looked around. Then everything went really really quiet...

A young girl entered the room in her fairy form. Elegant and beautiful. Natsume's heart leapt and he felt his throat in his mouth. He could feel his blood run around his body. He thought his heart would leap out of his mouth! She was just a beauty and so... so breathtaking...

"Hey idiot! Your getting married in two weeks time! Don't go falling in love!" yelled his brain, but his heart had another view to this point.

"But he loves her! FDon't give a damn about the girl your gonna marry Natsume!" his heart yelled and he let his feet walk over to this young girl who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, watching her guests dance. And once she saw him. She felt her cheeks flush and her mind was fighting with the heart.

"NO! You have someone your going to marry! Don't throw it all away! He's a prince and that guy... He may be poor!" yelled her brain, then her heart jumped to it's own views as Mikan stared at the boy who stared back at her.

"Who cares about poverty! If they are a perfect match! They will be happy with each other! DANCE WITH HIM MIKAN!" her heart yelled and Mikan smiled at the boy in front of her. Tall and handsome he was. And she, elegant and beautiful.

Natsume held out a hand.

"Would you like to dance?" he asked and Mikan felt her cheeks glow with redness and she smiled, putting her hand in his as he led her to the middle of the dance floor, twirling her out then putting a hand on her waist as he hand lay on his shoulder. They started to dance

They danced gracefully together, keeping the beat in time of the music and still, they stared into each others eyes. Mikan couldn't help but smile.

"You have wonderful eyes sir." she whispered and Natsume couldn't help but smile a little. She was a gorgeus young girl who had a heart of pure gold. He wanted to just put his lips over hers.

"And you ahve a beautiful smile and... cough body" he whispered the last part which made Mikan turn red as he said it and she looked at the ground. He was a bit pervy! But still kind to say the least. She then giggled and lifted her eyes to meet his. She just wished that she could kiss him.

"You are sweet. But a pervert." she said in a small voice and he grinned then swept her off her feet and put her on the ground again. Then he put a hand under her chin and brought his face closer to hers.

"May i?" he asked and Mikan couldn't help but smile up at him sweetly, breathing in the sweet smell of the boy in front of her.

"Don't tell anyone then." she whispered, and they closed the small gap between them as their lips met each other. They kissed for a moment, Mikan's eyes closed and her arms wrapped around his neck. His arms wrapped around her small waist as they kissed.

They broke apart and stared into each others eyes, then Mikan took Natsume's hand and led him outside into the large, candle lit garden. They sat together on a garden bench.

"Erm... That was a wonderful, wonderful kiss. But i must tell you something." Mikan whispered as she held her hand in his and he stared into her beautiful, brown eyes and he gave her a small smile. Waiting for what the young girl was about to say.

"I'm getting married." she said suddenly and he froze. She was like him! Mikan looked sad as she hung her head in dismay. Natsume put a hand on her cheek and made her eyes meet his.

"I'm getting married aswell. But i don't want to marry her. I want to marry you." he whispered, and he took away his mask, showing his full features. Mikan gasped at how handsome he was, then she too, took away her mask that hel her features.

They stared at each other for a long moment then smiled to each other.

"We've only just met. But we just... click." Mikan whispered as she stared at his features and he stared at her. She was more beautiful than an angel. He wanted to kiss her again and hold her in his arms.

"I want to know your name. Please beautiful girl." he whispered and Mikan gave him a small smile and kissed his cheek softly. He embraced her tightly and gently.

"I'm called Mikan. Mikan sakura" she whispered as he smiled softly to her and put his forehead on hers and they both smiled as they looked into each others eyes.

"I'm Natsume. Hyuuga, Natsume. Beautiful, beautiful, Mikan" he whispered as he kissed her forehead and she smiled, then kissed his lips. He responded and their fingers entwined as they kissed underneath the moon.

Neither Mikan or Natsume wanted the night to end. They wanted to be together. But could never ever be with each other. Or that's what they thought...
