Hidden X

The Underwater Kingdom fills itself full of peace and joy each day. Its continent was the whole ocean where the humans split it into seven parts: The Indian Ocean, The North Pacific Ocean, The South Pacific Ocean, The Arctic Ocean, The Antarctic Ocean, The North Atlantic Ocean and The South Atlantic Ocean. At the center of the two sides of the Pacific Ocean was where the Royal Palace lies, for The Royal Family to stay. The seven seas are being split into seven noble families where they would take of the areas, but since the Sakura Family does not have any relatives, the Royal Family had to take charge of everything. At that same place, a brunette walked (swam) as she enters the ocean. She slowly went up to the carriage, and sat down on the seat with gracefulness. Right around her were the Royal Palace Guards who were ordered to escort her in case she's in danger.

Mikan looked out of the carriage, where lies the joyous Kingdom stood. Mikan felt that it was like home, but deep inside her, there was this different feeling towards what she wanted. Coming down to the ocean showed a different side of her, where she had to act differently, the Princess Sakura Mikan everyone knew and loved. Her looks were also different from the time when she was in the human world. Her short brunette hair changed, where it is near to her ankles. Her dark brown eyes were transformed into light brown, complimenting on her looks all the more. Her clothes raised her beauty, bringing out the royal aura off her.

Mikan looked at her country, her hometown, her home. The joy that people have on their faces through the city was something that one could be relieved of the well state of the place. Being prosperous was one of the good things that But to Mikan, it was more of a prison than home. What matters to her to this place was more work and no rest for herself, and people would be looking at her every step since the King and the Queen are assumed to be missing for now.

When she arrived, the Royal Guards were lined up at the side of the carpet, bowing to her as she walks through them, with her head up high and poised. But in her heart, what she dreaded the most is the palace, where all day she would have to stick to the Royal Duties.

The party was only three days away, finding that everyone was frantic for Princess Mikan's Birthday. Not only that, it was meant to be her coronation day, and where she may not see her brothers back on land, isolated from her Royal subjects who adored her, not having her freedom that she wanted. But the next would cause her a headache: A Royal Engagement. For every pain that she would have, this was known to herself that it was one of the craziest things she had to refuse to accept all these years. Like who would want to accept the man that the elders have chosen for her and never met the man once? She wouldn't want to think that the man was after her money after all. Let alone marriage, sometimes she wished that she could just kill those old geezers and get along with it.

Mikan had to go one meeting to another for the next days, preventing any problems that are starting to rise within the five gates. Even though it was known as the seven seas, the North and South Pacific was one continent while the North and South Atlantic was another. The Pacific was ruled by the Royal Family, while the Atlantic was to be ruled by the most trusted Family that the Royal Family chose. The rest was meant for the relatives of the Royal Family, but since there are no other relatives on both sides of the Royal couple, the elders had to take care of the other areas. The Atlantic Ocean is passed to the Higurashi Family, where the Queen had a best friend there.

From what Mikan heard, the Higurashi Family had a crazy scandal, years before Mikan and Youichi was born. The favored daughter of the Higurashi Family had a fight between family members, and it was until few years later that she came back from the human world and what made it all the more interesting was that she brought back a daughter whose now 9 years old, a year younger than Youichi.

Somehow, when Mikan first saw the girl on the photo few hours ago, she couldn't pinpoint on what's familiar about the newest addition, but she got a weird feeling about it. The daughter that was brought back had no memories about anything of her family, not even the man who fathered her child.

Mikan turned back to her current situation; she wore a baby blue dress, something that the old geezers would expect her to wear, and something that usually brings out her beauty and her Royal lineage. The dress reached to her ankles. Due to her short statue, she had to wear the black 4 inch killer heels. She was right in front of the door which showed anyone of its beauty.

"Presenting now, Her Royal Highness, Princess Mikan." The announcer spoke with authority. She just walked down the stairs where her head look straight up without looking down, confident that she would not fall. Men surrounded her as she started "socializing", as per said by any Royal. But her instinct was telling her to turn her head.

"Mikan-nee/ Mikan." Youichi and Rei walked towards her, a smile on their faces.

"You-chan! Rei-nii!" Mikan smiled at them, assuring herself that she was not alone and her brothers were with her.

In an instant, the majority of the crowd turned to the Royal Family, in exception of their parents, got together. It was rare that the Royal Family is seen, but even more rare seen together. The women were drooling at the looks of Youichi and Rei, while the men stared ogled on Mikan's looks.

"They agree to let you attend the coronation? And I thought they would not allow." Mikan smiled as she hugged her brothers.

"Well, we are part of the Royal Family. If we can't even see you, no doubt you will never be seen back everyone anymore. Not even your wedding!"

"I agree with Rei-nii. But I must say; something must be wrong with those old geezers' brains. Can't believe we could visit you but you can't visit us." Youichi pouted while Mikan's eyes widen.

"Really, you can visit me?! I really thought that they wanted to kill me with boredom in here." The siblings were laughing towards the joke, before Mikan slowly stop smiling.

"But I wish none of these would have happen. No royalty, a perfect family, no secrets to hide. Then we would truly be a family." Mikan looked at the glass covered ceiling, where she could see what's above. It was peaceful and nothing had gone wrong for the day, but Mikan got a bad feeling.

"Mikan, I know it's going to be difficult but we have no choice. You will be here, managing the kingdom and Red Sakura, while I would be taking Gakuen Alice and Youichi would be taking over Yukihira Corporation if that's what we are going to plan…." Rei was going to continue talking when one of the butlers walk up to Mikan, telling her that it was time. Mikan walked away, guided by the butler.

The guests were guided to another room, where she would have the ceremony. Seats were filled up in an instant, anticipating the major event happening. Mikan had to change to an orange gown, her favorite color, not to mention the color code for today. The doors opened up for her, where she could see both her brothers at the sides of the stage, Rei on the left while Youichi on the right. Mikan had to close her eyes and take a deep breath, before walking towards the center.

"Hereby, today we are able to witness one of the most important events in the kingdom….." Mikan had to practice this for quite a few times to satisfy those old geezers. Mikan took the staff and had the tiara on her head, facing the people in front of her. But before the priest could continue, a loud boom sounded.
