Hate At First Sight

Chapter One

"What are we going to do Sakura-chan? We're going to get tied down!" Tomoyo said as the two paced frantically in Sakura's room.

"I don't know. I mean there's nothing we CAN do. But we have to do something! Wait! Did otou-san say something about them wanting this too?" Sakura said beaming.

"I'm not sure, but if they weren't forced into this, then we'll be able to do something. We can just hurt them until they go crying to their mommy's saying how they refuse to marry us. Maybe their mothers will be considerate and listen, therefore saving us from getting married," Tomoyo suggested.

"Oh! And if they were forced into this, we won't even have to talk to them. just completely ignore the illiterate idiots," Sakura said sighing as she sat down on her bed followed by Tomoyo. The two just began to talk about random topics when a knock came to their door.

"Princess Sakura, Princess Chiharu, Princess Naoko, Princess Rika and Prince Takashi are here to meet with you," A maid said as she opened the door. She was well known to Sakura and all of her friends because she was nice and spent a lot of time taking care of Sakura.

"Thank-you Marie, and how many times must I tell you? Call me Sakura," Sakura said smiling at her.

"And call me Tomoyo. We're your friends Marie. You're only a little older than us," Tomoyo said smiling also.

"Alright. Should I tell them to come up, or will you meet them somewhere?" Marie asked.

"Can you tell them we'll meet them in the gardens?" Sakura asked. Marie nodded. "Oh Marie, can you please bring tea and strawberry shortcake out please. About 6." Marie nodded once more and left.

"Are we going to tell them?" Tomoyo said as she watched Sakura brush her hair quickly and put on some lip-gloss.

"I guess we should. I mean, they are our best friends and all. They'll supportive and help us out with our scheming right?" Sakura answered.

~*In the gardens*~

"No way," Chiharu answered.

"Nuh uh," said Naoko.

"Nope," Rika said also.

"Sorry. I want to help but they won't let me," Takashi answered pouting.

"Why? You've helped us out before. What's so different about now?" Sakura asked rather upset with their friend's answers.

"Sakura-chan, Tomoyo-chan. You're the only ones out of that haven't been married. I'm married to Takashi, Naoko is married to Mike and Rika is married to Duke Tarada," Chiharu explained.

"You two need to get married sometime soon," Rika added.

"Nani?! Well all of you have love marriages because your parents would listen. We aren't in love. We're in an arranged marriage," Tomoyo replied frowning. "And don't forget the fact that we're only 19!"

"We all got married two years ago Tomoyo-chan, so that's no excuse," Naoko said to her.

"Mou, why do you all have to be so mean? Ganging up on us like this?" Sakura said pouting and slouching,

"We're doing what's best for you. Anyways, what time are you supposed to be meeting them?" Chiharu said to her friends.

"Mother said she wanted us in the throne room around 2:00," Tomoyo said sipping her tea.

"2:00? Sakura! Tomoyo! It's nearly 2:30!" Rika exclaimed.

"Did you know that time was originally invented by-" Takashi began.

"Oh shut up you. You guys better go!" Chiharu said hitting him upside the head.

"Yeah, sorry about this! We aren't even married yet and they're wrecking our plans already! See you later," Sakura said gathering her skirts and leaving. They all looked at each other and sighed. This was going to be a lot of work. But they had promised Fujitaka and Sonomi they would help them learn to like them. Why did they ever agree?

~*Throne Room*~

"Sorry we're late. We had previous engagements to attend to," Sakura said as the two came bustling in.

"Well they'll be arriving soon. And you were so preoccupied in your 'previous' engagements that you had to be late for your engagement meeting kaijuu? Well not to worry. I'll try and get you two out of this," Touya said as he whispered this to Tomoyo and Sakura.

"Presenting the Prince Li and Queen Yelan Li from the Li Kingdom. Also presenting Eriol Hiiragizawa from the Hiiragizawa kingdom," the announcer said after a few minutes of waiting. The once happy princesses were now very upset after this comment.

Just as the two girls began to mumble, two tall men walked in with what looked like their mother, although the second one looked nothing like the first. The first one had messy chocolate hair and the most captivating eyes you could have ever seen. The second one had blue hair, slightly messy, and azure eyes. They both had a great build and the woman that was accompanying them, held much regal and grace; she seemed well respected.

"Hello Yelan, it has been a while," Fujitaka said bowing.

"Yes it has. How have you both been?" Yelan asked in return.

"Well thank you. I just have a question. How did yours take the news?" Sonomi asked curiously.

"Just think of it this way. worse than yours I'm sure," Yelan answered smiling to the two.

"Probably. Now how about we introduce the couples?" Fujitaka said loudly making the five cringe. (Don't forget Touya!)

"Princess Tomoyo Daidouji, this is your betrothed, Prince Eriol Hiiragizawa," Yelan said to Tomoyo. Yelan shot Eriol a look as he gulped, stepped forward and bowed, refusing to meet the other part of the critique.

"Please to be at your acquaintance," the two said in the same bored tone, which happened to shock all five.

"Prince Syaoran Li, meet your betrothed, Princess Sakura Kinomoto," Fujitaka said Syaoran. They followed the same procedure as their parents began to talk. Suddenly, a smirk crossed Sakura's features as she turned to her friend.

"Pst! Tomoyo! I have an idea!" Sakura exclaimed quietly so only her Tomoyo would hear her.

"What do you think those bimbos are talking about?" Syaoran whispered to his friend on their side of the room.

"I have no idea, but Kinomoto looks kind of creepy with that smirk," Eriol whispered back.

"What is it Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked eagerly in response to her statement.

"Well, they seem not to like this at all either and probably want to work with us so we won't have be married right?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo nodded her head. "Well, since they probably don't want us all over them, we're going to do the exact opposite. Hang all over them, and bug them until they go crazy, trust me. They'll hate us and then we'll never have to see them again!"

"Oh that's a great plan Sakura-chan! But I have only one problem. While we have to "hang" all over them like you said, I swear I'm going to gag. This is anything but love at first sight. It's hate at first sight," Tomoyo said in loathing, which soon turned into a giggle followed by Sakura.

"How about we go all evil on them once they snap to really confuse them!" Sakura suggested smirking.

"Great idea," Tomoyo said as the two continued with their version of Operation Torture.

"Well Syaoran, I don't think we have to worry about these ones. They seem to hate this us as much as we do," Eriol said to his friend.

"I'm not sure. Kinomoto and Daidouji look as if they're planning to kill us," Syaoran said, the both of them staring at the girls across the room. The two waved at them and they sheepishly waved back. Now that was the major give away, they were in serious trouble.

"Sakura, Tomoyo! Would you please show the princes to their rooms? You should know where they are located," Sonomi asked. The girls immediately groaned, but as soon as they remembered their plan, they put on grins.

"Come with us boys," Tomoyo said politely as she walked in front of them with Sakura. Sakura had to stifle her giggles or else she would have been laughing like a maniac from their reactions. They both stood dot eyed, totally freaked.

"Is this a good thing?" Syaoran whispered to Eriol as they walked. Eriol simply shrugged.

"Operation Torture Syaoran. I'm sure they have one too. Just remember ours," Eriol said as he sped up the pace to catch up with them. Followed by a very confused Syaoran.
