Chapter 1: First Visit

Kyo watched the carriages approach and scowled crossing his arms. He knew that the princess was coming here and he didn't like it, he didn't like it one bit. He glanced to his side and looked at his two close friends, Yuki and Hatsuharu. Yuki's dark grey hair was shining brightly in the sunlight and his purple eyes showed none of his thoughts. Hatsuharu beyond him leaned negligently against the edge of the gate, his white and black hair were tousled and his grey eyes seemed to be amused. Kyo focused on that and scowled larger. Why were they so amused? They would have to suffer just as much as he did. They were nine years old and soon would have three six year old girls trailing them all summer. It was absolutely horrible!

"Remember Kyo, you must be very kind to her." Kyo's father, King Kazuma said touching his shoulder lightly.

Kyo glared at his father who smiled gently back. "I don't want to be kind to some girl."

Kazuma smile widened and he ruffled the bright orange hair of his son. "I'm sure it won't be as bad as all that."

Haru wandered over his hand behind his head. "I don't know. I heard from the messenger that her two friends are…odd."

Yuki glanced up at his taller friend. "Odd?"

Haru nodded, "The messenger said one liked to fight and the other had some…mind-reading thing going on."

"Mind-reading!?! Man, that means they'll know about all the tricks we want to play on them." Kyo groaned.

Kazuma frowned at his son and opened his mouth to say more but was kept from speaking by a voice calling out. "Kazuma!"

Kazuma smiled and grinned at the lively woman who dismounted from the lead horse. She wore a beautiful though serviceable riding kimono. She approached her hair swinging about her shoulders. "Kazuma! You are looking well!" She grinned approaching.

"Kyoko!" He embraced her and kissed each cheek. "You too, you look healthy."

"Indeed, indeed." Kyoko said and turned back to the carriage as three young girls exited and wondered over. The blond on the end had her arms crossed and a scowl almost matching Kyos, the black haired girl on the other side had a calm, composed look but her eyes were seemingly bottomless and Kyo felt himself shiver. His eyes refocused on the small brown-haired girl in the middle with a wide smile.

You have got to be kidding me…Kyo though his scowl turning into a open-mouth gape. She's totally spacey!!

"Kyo, this is Tohru. Tohru, Kyo." Kyoko introduced. "These are her friends, Hana and Uo."

"These are Kyo's friends, Yuki and Hatsuharu." Kazuma introduced. Then in a moment of pure adult stupidity, Kyoko and Kazuma linked arms and wandered into the castle followed by the servants and left the three children standing confused in the middle of the path.

"It's very nice to meet you Kyo, Yuki, Hatsuharu!" Tohru said bowing deeply and giving them a cheerful smile. Uo nodded crossing her arms and Hana just continued to gaze at them calmly.

"Whatever." Kyo said and turned on his heel. "Come on guys, let's go for a ride." Kyo headed off in the direction of the stables determined to get as far from these girls as he could. Yuki tapped him on the shoulder and pointed behind them silently. Kyo looked back and slid to a halt when he saw the three girls were following him. "WHAT DO YOU WANT!?!?"

Tohru's head tilted and she looked up at the sky in confusion. "Didn't you say we were to go for a ride?" She gave him an innocent smile and suddenly he felt more annoyed than anything.

"I DIDN'T MEAN YOU!!!" Kyo snarled angrily.

Tohru's eyes welled up with tears and Uo immediately stepped in front of her. "DON'T YOU YELL AT TOHRU!" Hana wrapped her arms around the crying Tohru and nodded over her head at the boys, her eyes no longer emotionless but angry.

"I'LL YELL AT HER IF I WANT TO!" Kyo snarled crossing his arms and shoving his nose in the air.

Uo tackled Kyo to the ground and began to hit him as only a little girl who fights can; hard. "I'll kill you!!! Be nice to Tohru!!"

Yuki started to move towards Kyo but Hana was suddenly before him her hand keeping him from moving forward. "I wouldn't get involved in that if I was you." Yuki swallowed and glanced at his black and blue friend just as Haru pulled Uo off of him. Uo turned on Haru who for a while simply dodged the hits.

Tohru sat in the dirt tears running down her face, Kyo was unconscious, Hana was scaring Yuki, Uo was trying to hurt Haru who seemed to be able to dodge. And above them all Kazuma and Kyoko peered out the window laughing hysterically. "What a wonderful start no?" Kyoko said laughing.

By the end of the week Tohru had been made to try at least twelve times, Kyo had a constant black eye, Yuki had numerous mysterious headaches, Haru had random bruises from bad dodges and Uo and Hana…well they were perfectly alright.

Kyo scowled as he followed behind his father on his pony. "Father!" He moved closer and peeked behind him to make sure that the girls were far enough away that they didn't hear him "Why do we have to have those girls along every day?"

"Well Kyo, as the prince it is your responsibility to marry well. Kyoko and I decided that we wanted the two of you to wed for the alliances of our kingdom." Kazuma explained gently.

"That's grown-up stuff. Why do I have to do anything about it?" Kyo sulked looking over his shoulder. Kyoko was speaking seriously to Uo while Hana and Tohru laughed at something Haru had said. Yuki patted Kyo on the back from his side and Kyo turned to face him.

"Aren't we going to be grown-up one day?" Yuki asked. "I mean, even if we don't have to deal with it now, won't we end up with it?"

"Very astute of you Yuki!" Kazuma smiled at his young charge. "You are going to be a fine advisor to Kyo one day."

Kyo turned red and glared at his friend who seemed to always be so much smarter than him. "When is she going home?"

Kazuma shook his head and dropped back to ride with Kyoko. "Kyoko." He smiled at her.

Tohru smiled at him across her mother. "Hello King Kazuma!"

"Please Tohru, I asked you to call me Father!" Kazuma said and laughed when he heard Kyo snarl ahead of him.

Kyo kicked his pony into a trot and Yuki and Haru ran after him. "YOU'RE ANNOYING!"

Tohru looked at Kazuma her eyes wide with hurt and confusion. "Did I make Kyo mad?"

"No child. He's just a young boy is all." Kazuma said while Hana and Uo dropped back with Kyoko so that Tohru could talk to Kazuma alone.

"I don't like how that boy treats Tohru!" Uo said crossing her arms letting the reins of her pony drape around its neck. "I don't want her to marry him! He's mean!"

Hana looked up from the book that had she randomly pulled from her saddlebag. "I also think he isn't right for her."

Kyoko grinned and touched a hand to each of the two sweet girls who had befriended her daughter. "Tohru can refuse when they turn eighteen if she truly does not wish to be with him. Sometimes…two people won't always get along, especially two people who could love each other, it can be troublesome to think about someone when you don't want to."

"So you think he likes her? Against his will?" Uo asked scratching her head.

Kyoko smiled. "I hope so!"

"You know we're only six right? There is no way we understand you." Uo remarked and Kyoko laughed blushing.

"This is probably true, however, one day you will understand." Kyoko smiled and waved up to Tohru. "I just hope it isn't too late like it was for me."

"For you?" Hana asked looking up at her Queen.

"Another time alright?" Kyoko said and moved to talk to Kazuma while Tohru dropped back to her friends. "Do you think we are making a mistake?" Kyoko asked quietly, they paused at the edge of the beach and the girls raced forward to join the boys.

"Akito is still threatening you isn't he?" Kazuma asked looking out at the children. "He is mad that you thwarted his plans. He will try again one day."

Kyoko looked sad. "Yeah…I know. But until then, we need to raise them right."

And it has started.

Okay to clear things up: this won't be EXACTLY like the movie because in truth that would make it hard and dull so it will have more plot twists and turns.

Also, they are ANIME characters (obviously with Akito as a guy, for those who don't read manga don't worry about it) I won't tell you where most of the characters will show up I'll just surprise you. Also some will be tad OC but I will try REALLY REALLY hard to keep them as accurate as possible.

It will start kind of slow because I want to do a lot of time with them as kids so the details about Kyoko and Akito's relationship will be revealed as time goes on but the main story in the movie, bad guy kidnapping princess probably won't happen for a bit so please be patient and enjoy the fun!

Please review! P.S. I PROMISE NOT TO HAVE SUCH LONG NOTES ANYMORE LOL
