Chapter 6

"The engagement"

What is happening to her?

Hikari shacked her head and slapped her face as she thought of it. How. . . how can she ever get her revenge on him?

The girl decided to observe the fairy-tale like place she is in, she really felt like a princess in a japanese movie. She saw a field of flowers and many more. She decided to eat her sandwich there. The peaceful surrounding just gave her soul a nice warm feeling, it really felt nice.

. . .

"Now what . ."

The girl can't find her way back. She tried to find her map but its nowhere to be found. Hikari felt that self pity feeling again.

"Looks like I'll be staying the night here . . great . ." she sighed. This things always happens. The girl curled up like ball and stared blankly into space.

"Let's just wait 'till a nice person comes here and rescue me . . since I'll be more lost if I tried to find my way . . . ha . . ha . . haha."

. . .

One hour later.

. . .

Hikari is still staring blankly into space, her thoughts was still the same. Its just this time, the "Hikari determination section" is getting a little higher.

The girl's emotions are starting to change.

"I can't stay here much longer!!" The girl run through beaten path and let her unreliable sense of direction lead her way. Only to find out that she was more lost than before.

. . .

"Waaaaa!!"

"Hikari-sama?"

"Neji-kun!!" Hikari's eyes sparkled as she hugged her savior, finally somebody found her. Her face looks really happy and Neji was pretty curious about why the hell does this girl ended up in the end point of the imperial palace grounds. She explained what happened while they're riding a car, Neji made an anime sweat drop reaction. Hikari smiled, she was really happy that somebody found her after 2 hours.

"Hikari-sama be careful next time, make sure to bring a map with you." Neji reminded her with a serious look. Seriously, she really has "direction" problems.

The girl smiled "Don't worry I will!!" she waved at him as he went inside the car, he bowed at her and drove away. Hikari was used to it.

"Hikari-sama!! there you are . . huff . . I've . . puff . . been looking for . . huff . . you . . " Sai yelled at her, he looks really worried, Hikari blushed.

"I'm sorry!" she bowed "I won't go anywhere without your permission . . and a map from now on." she really felt bad, she forgot that there is a lot of people that might be looking for her if she goes away.

. . .

Sai led her to the dinning room, there is no one there. Looks like everybody is away, she asked him. Sai told her that his majesty the High Emperor will be attending a press conference today, Fukaku and Mikoto went to England because of an invitation from the Queen, Sasuke went to his trainning and Itachi went early for his meeting with the parliament. Hikari's eyes widened, everyone in this family is busy. Hikari felt a little sad.

- - -

Hikari went to her room after that and changed clothes. Since nobody was home for today, she decided to go out of the palace and explore the wonders of Tokyo! She told Butler Suichirou about this matter and he agreed.

Butler Suichirou told her to hide her face in public as much as possible, she felt curious. He also told her to bring Sai with her.

"What! why? I'm fine by myself!" the girl protested, she really wanna do this alone since its her first time. The butler gave her a serious look.

"Hikari-sama. you have a bad sense of directions remember?"

. . .

And with that . .

"Hikari-sama this way. We can't let other people saw you getting out." Sai was pointing out to the small door in the back of the Shrine, near the Uchiwa dojo.

"Alright coming." she has no choice. She understood it since the people of this entire country might know her now, plus there are a lot of rumors that is surrounding her.

. . .

Tokyo was beautiful and very busy at the same time. A lot of people are probably going to their work, some are hanging around with their friends and a whole lot more. There are huge T.V s, a lot of electronic shops, bookstores and other stuff! there are a lot restaurants too! Her feet can't decide where to go. But the girl decided to watch the huge T.V in front of her before going to the park.

It was a news report, and his majesty is with the press. Hikari and Sai stayed there to watch the press conference for a while. Other people was watching too.

"So you majesty talking about the crowned prince, Itachi-no-miya. He just reached 21 right?" one of the press asked.

"Yes he did. Actually last July 9." he told them, the old man was smiling. Hikari though that Jii-chan might know what are they going to ask. She turned her gaze around and saw a huge mass of people watching the scene too; kids, teenagers and adults. Sai faced her, she felt curious. She faced the T.V and watched the interview.

"Autumn is coming and a lot of people are kept on asking about the his highness's future wife. Do you have any plans about this matter? Is his highness's have a girl he likes now?" Hikari was startled by the question, Sai was still smiling. The people who were watching was starting to talk too, especially the girls.

Huh?

"Do you think Itachi-oujisama has a special somebody right now!? Kyaaaaaa!! that girl must be very lucky!! I wish I was her . ." A girl said.

"Dream on! You know the law, if the crowned prince has somebody he loves, it must be approved and accepted by the royal family first before engaging him." A girl replied.

"But still . . his majesty is a very good man. He'll approve right away! . . oh yeah we don't know if he has one yet! and his father's approval is a must"

"That's right!"

Engagement . .

Impossible!! of coarse he isn't gonna approve to it!! He already have Sasuke . . sorry girls but the man likes men . .

Hikari giggled.

"Yes!" the old man replied to the question "Fukaku and I have already been talking about since Itachi was little." the old man looking really happy. The press was starting to ask a lot of questions. Hikari sighed.

Who ever that girl is she'll probably live a miserable life with him . . his husband secretly having a relationship with his brother behind her back. Thats ruff . . and he will not probably agree to it . . but I guess if the girl is a little slow he'll probably will . . I mean he'll just torture her and then its alright.

"What a gentleman . ." she sighed, Sai looked at her.

"So Your majesty, who is the lucky girl?" a man asked the high emperor.

The whole Tokyo looked like it have been stopped, everybody was watching. Hikari felt excited, she'll be able to watch a good show. Girls in the crowed are saying their prayers.

"That girl is really close to us and her father and Fukaku were good friends, we already planned this a long time . . but my grandson and that young lady has no idea about it though . ." The old man really looks eager about this matter.

"When they were little, we gave the two of them a ring, I don't know if the young lady has kept the ring but I know Itachi still has it. I've seen it in his desk . ."

"Your majesty is this girl a really good person? Why have you chosen her?" said the man who asked the question earlier.

"That's a good question . ." the old man answered him, the camera lights are flashing everywhere. Hikari felt really excited, she wondered what does Poker-face's face looks like now. She wondered if his pokerface is starting show its emotions, an evil smile emerged from her face, she giggled. This could be her revenge, she can help that girl to get closer to him and annoy him as much as possible. She continued to watch.

"Well . . she is a very good-natured person, energetic, hyper, sporty, smart, talented, exciting, likes eating and often makes me happy." The old man smiled. The media fell from their seats . . so she's not a noble? Hikari felt curious. The crowed who was watching were also curious, what does his majesty supposed to mean?

"Y-your m-majesty isn't she a little . . different?" the reporter said, he was also weirded out. The girl who will be married to the crowned prince, the girl who will serve as the vessel of the next generation of the royal family, the next mother and crowned princess of the country isn't a noble? What were they thinking?

"Yes." he replied "Fukaku and I made a really good decision, this girl is a total opposite of my grandson. And I know sooner or later all of Japan will acknowledge her as a strong Empress. Besides the royal family needs a little cheering up too." the old man giggled because of happiness.

The media and the crowed (especially Hikari) was really surprised. This is certainly a good show.

- - -

Ring! Ring!

The office of the parliament was busy watching the press conference too, they were not surprised though, they knew this will happen. The only person who was surprised here though is the cold, stoic, handsome, expressionless man who is currently standing in his seat. Even in that expressionless face they know he was pissed, the parliament can feel it. They were feeling scared.

Ring! Ring!

A man from the parliament answered the phone that was in Itachi's table, he felt scared while doing so. The expressionless man was still watching.

"Yes, I understand . . Your highness its Kisame-san, he wants to talk to you." the man told Itachi. The prince answered the call.

"Hey Itachi! . ." he cut him off

"I know." his sinister voice told the poor guy. Kisame knows that it was wrong call so he ended up the conversation.

The parliament members are really scared.

Jii-san . .

- - -

"Your majesty who is the crowned princess . ."

The media was ready to receive the biggest scoop of the country and the people of Japan can't wait to know the crowned princess. Sai looked really chill standing beside Hikari, does he already knew? Hikari on the other want was really excited about it, happy; because finally she's getting her revenge.

. . .

She has no idea what's gonna happen to her after this.

"Japan's new Crowned Princess and the new addition to the Royal family is . . "

Hikari gulped. She was really excited, her eyes was starting to sparkle, her hat can't hide her face because of the sunlight.

Is!!

"Her Imperial highness, Mashirou Hikari." The old man declared.

The media was happy and began asking questions again, the crowed went wild. The people of Japan rejoiced.

. . .

Hikari's mind went blank.

. . .

Her eyes widened.

. . .

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

The girl yelled, the whole crowed who was watching in that same place heard her. Hikari CAN NOT believe it, her life suddenly changed by a certain declaration. Tying her into a certain man she hates and will practically never love, a man who is having an affair with his own little brother. The people started to talk.

"Hey she's the Mashrou girl right!! Our crowned princess!!" a girl said.

"Oh yeah!! there she is!! Hime-sama!!" a girl squealed. The people are approach her, trying to get her attention. Sai covered her, Hikari was still spacing out.

She was having a mental paranoia . .

How? . . dad . . mom . . ? HOW THE HELL CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME!! marrying a guy like him . . this is going to be a disaster!! And were not compatible!! Dad . . I know its all you fault the ring you gave . . AHHHH!! Now I remember . .

. . . She was having a mental paranoia . .

"Sweet heart I want you to have this ring . . keep it, don't loose it and bring it with you everywhere alright?" the man gave her daughter a ring, it was really pretty and the little girl was really happy. She accepted it.

"Dad, it doesn't fit my finger . ." the girl complained, she really wanna try it on. Her father giggled.

"Of coarse it won't . . don't wear it until you grow up, a person will personally put it in your finger when you grow up. Understand?"

"Until that person comes I won't . . I understand!" the little girl was really happy, she wondered about the person and kept the ring.

. . .

"I accepted it . ." Hikari felt she's been betrayed. "Daddy . ." she sighed. "What will happen to me now!"

"Hikari-sama." Sai called her presence, it is then she noticed that there was a lot of people who were coming towards her. She gasped.

"Hikari-sama, I already called for back up but right now we need to get out of here." Sai looked at her with a serious face. Its all her fault.

"Hime-sama!! where are you going come back!!" the people yelled, they were running fast.

"I'm really sorry . . " she told them, now its more difficult.

Sai and Hikari fled from the scene, Sai was holding her hand, she was a fast runner so she can keep up. While running Hikari noticed a camera flashed to them, they are so in trouble. The two was relieved when they saw the imperial palace cars and the back ups coming. The people around the square saw them and followed them as well, good thing the securities are there shielding her. It was the first time Hikari has been in a situation like this.

Now I know what those two feel like . .

Hikari went inside the limousine, finally sanctuary.

"Whew . . I thought I was gonna die back there . ." Hikari told herself. She can see all the people wanting to see her from the limousine, there are so many of them. and they are all fighting to see her.

Hikari looked at them.

"We just want to see her!!" a woman yelled.

"Yeah!! we really wanna see the crowned princess! I've seen her in the news, she was really beautiful." a man said.

"Can we just see her?"

They all want to see me . .

Without a question Hikari opened the limousine and smiled to the people.

"I'm sorry about my rudeness . . I am Mashirou Hikari and I'm very happy to meet you all." Hikari smiled at them, she also told Sai to let the people come close to her.

"Ah!! H-Hikari-hime I-I am very h-honored to meet you . . I . . am Hiroku Taro . . and I . ." the man approached her, Hikari stretched her hand.

"It is very nice to meet you Hiroku-san! . . I'm sorry if I . ." Hikari blushed.

- - -

"Your Highness, the crowned princess is on the news look!" the prime minister told Itachi, who is currently dealing with some papers. The man turned the T.V on.

"Looks like new crowned princess having a tough day today huh?" the news caster told the reporter who is near the the greeting scene. Itachi watched her.

"That's right Yuri, We've found out that the the crowned princess was just having stroll today and she didn't know what's going to happen . . Oh wait let's ask that man! Sir excuse me!" Itachi and the parliament was watching. Hikari looked like she was just talking with friends, laughing and having a really nice time like that. Her smile was pure and true.

Itachi smirked.

"She told as that she has no idea about it since today. She was really friendly." the guy told the reporter. "Let's see if we can get close to her. Hime-sama!"

Hikari turned her gaze to the reporter. She was surprised. "Your highness, please can we talk to you!" Hikari's face turned red, she was really nervous now.

"Y-your highness, p-please can we t-talk to you?" the reporter was nervous too, the girl was very charming. Hikari nooded.

"I- a-uhm . . what a-are you r-reactions about w-what just happened . ." the reporter was blushing, Hikari is really different today. Her beauty and charm was like of a princess, but the Hikari personality was still there.

"Well . . I was startled! I don't even know anything about it since today, mom and dad told me nothing." she was really honest. The parliament started talking. Itachi was still watching, calmly.

"Really? Uhm . . if you don't mind your highness, What was the story about the ring?"

"The ring thing is really embarrassing I . . don't want to talk about it right now . ." Hikari remembered her childish demeanor that cause this entire plot to begin, if she didn't accepted the stupid ring in the first place and threw it on a river a long time ago, this wouldn't happen.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Hikari cellphone rang, she excused herself from the crowed and answered the call.

"Hikari . ." Itachi spoke with a calm tone

"Y-yeah . . " Hikari felt really nervous, even though the man's voice was calm.

"Come here right now, I need to talk to you . ."

"A-alright . . where are you!?" Hikari's voice was a little loud the crowed heard her. She was really embarrassed "I'm sorry please excuse for a while . ." Hikari went inside the limousine.

"Where are you again?"

Itachi sighed "I'm at the parliament office, just tell Sai about it."

Hikari bid farewell to the crowed, it was really hard . . she never thought that being a princess is this tough. The limousine rode its way to the parliament office, she wondered why Itachi wanted to talk about her.

What now . . Is he gonna torture me again? No . . I'm not gonna let him this time, no matter what!! I'm also going to tell that refuse to marry him!! that's right . . I refuse. I'm not gonna get married to a man who has a brother complex!!

And . .

I will not get married to a man who thinks I'm nothing . .

End of Chapter 6

Hikari gulped.

"So why did you call me here? Is it because of the engagement?" Itachi got away from his seat and walked towards her, he looked at her. "Yes."

Hikari inhaled and let it out "Alright Pokerface! first things first . . I don't want to marry you!!" He was now standing in front of her. She looked at him like he was a wild animal, signaling him to gay away from her, he ignored it.

"Do you think I want to marry you as well?" his tone was calm but it really irks her.

She let it go . . "So what are we going to do . . how can we escape this stupid marriage? Do you have any idea?" she told him ". . . I know Sasuke-kun won't like this . ." she felt a little sad.

"And I know, even if we accept this ridiculous arrangement that MY DAD and your dad did, things won't turn out to be good. . . So how?"

Itachi smirked

"Were not . ." he spoke.

"Not what?"

"Your accepting it." he said with a magnetic voice. She blushed

"Huh?"

"Were getting married." he spoke again

"SAY WHAT . . . ?"
