Chapter 7

"Frustrated"

The limousine was making its way to the parliament office. The streets was still very busy and Hikari can still see the busy people of Japan, the electronic billboards are full of news about her and the declaration of her being the crowned princess. She felt uneasy. Why did this perfect normal day turned into a shocking revelation day that she has no knowledge about anyway? And why does her dad and the Emperor didn't say a word? Does Itachi knows?

Too many questions was running through out her brain. The office was very far, but thank God their wasn't to much traffic. They went there smoothly.

"Yosh!! Gambatte Hikari!!" she thought.

Hikari went straight out of the car, she made it fast but other people saw her coming out. Her bodyguards blocked the people so she made safely inside, she sighed. The parliament office was amazing, its halls was very big, just like the palace. It also has a Japanese flair but the western design really stands out. There were many rooms as well. She felt like she was in a museum.

Her nostalgic feeling ended when Sai called her.

"Your highness, the crowned prince is waiting for you inside that room." Sai showed her to the door.

"Sai aren't you coming with me?" she was a little nervous, she needs somebody right now. "Your highness, your husband wants to talk to you alone." He was kinda mocking her, Hikari felt irritated.

"Excuse me!? Were NOT MARRIED and WE WON'T EVER BE!! got it!?"

"Yare-yare . . " Sai faked a smile.

A few minutes later Itachi's secretary went out. He told Hikari that he is waiting for her, the girl went inside.

The room was very professional looking, it looks like the oval office in the states, but this one was a little bit japanese type.

Itachi was seating on his seat, he was busy reading papers. He looks very professional and he really looks charming with those clothes . . he really looks like a prince. The girl blushed, the man cleaned up his table and looked at her, emotionless . . of coarse.

Hikari gulped.

"So why did you call me here? Is it because of the engagement?" She was still standing near the door. Itachi got away from his seat and walked towards her. He looked at her.

"Yes."

Hikari inhaled and let it out, she wanted it to be clear "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 get 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 felt pissed.

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 again.

"Huh?"

"Were getting married." he spoke again

"SAY WHAT . . . ?"

Hikari's mind is always getting blank this days, maybe she just didn't hear him well.

"Sorry . . can you please say it again?"

"Were getting married."

. . .

"WHAT!!"

Hikari was panicking, she was again experiencing that mental paranoia she always gets. Why are they getting married? Hikari thought he was going to go against it because of his 'secret-love-affair' with Sasuke, but why does he want them to get married? She doesn't get it.

" . . Why do you think I will accept this stupid marriage? As I said IT WON'T WORK FOR THE TWO OF US 'EVER' ring a bell?" she looked at him with great curiosity and irritation. Itachi crossed his arms

"It won't work but we have to accept it." his voice was really calm, but there is something in it that she couldn't tell.

"And why? We have no idea about this marriage anyway, and you OF ALL PEOPLE has the reason to back away at this deal. I mean you can just say that you love Sasuke-kun, they would probably accept it, your the prince . . you can also tell them that I can't just marry you . ." she was trying to grasp the situation, but she can't understand it well.

Itachi spoke again.

"Do you think they would really accept it if I told them about it? Hn, you really are stupid." he smirked, It irritated her but, he looks kinda sad too even though he was always emotionless. When he spoke that sentence, Hikari thought that Itachi knows that his 'reasons' will never be accepted, even though he really loves him. Its not really acceptable, Older brother in love with his little brother . .

Hikari looked at him with sad eyes, she backed up a little. She can't see Itachi's eyes but she still looked at him. She understood it, why is he accepting this even though its hard for him. But what about her? She's gonna be tied up forever with a man who will never look at her like a real woman, a man that will never treat her with love and care; lastly, a man that thinks she was nothing. Hikari smiled whole heartedly.

"Alright . . I understand." She said happily. "I understand you now, we will get married but not with the heart. We will deal with our daily lives alone like this and when we are in front of all those people we will be a the perfect couple." she was still smiling, why is she smiling?

Itachi eyes looked at her smiling face, he was a little surprised. He doesn't expect that Hikari will understood it that fast, and why the hell is she smiling? she shouldn't be, right? Itachi let out his famous smirk.

"So, does this mean you?"

"Yes, I accept. I'll marry you, your highness."

She's also a victim here but why did she said yes? Her whole life is in the line! What about her dreams on having a perfect wedding? with a man that really loves her? with the man that she really loves? What's going on with her!? Why is she sacrificing herself too?

- - -

Hikari and Itachi went out of the room, there was something in her eyes. Hikari didn't saw Sai anywhere. She asked him.

"Where is Sai?"

"I told them to go back, I'll be escorting you this whole afternoon." his voice melted her. She was blushing . . just a little. There was still that something in her eyes. She felt curious.

"Why? You escorting me? Even though I accepted this agreement that doesn't mean yo-" she was cut off.

"I'll introduce you to the members of the parliament. They want to meet you." His expressionless face looked at her. She felt really embarrassed.

They walked quietly in the halls, Hikari's mind is traveling in the outer space, her face looked really cute and innocent, even though she was sad. Maybe because about what happened or maybe she was tired.

Itachi looked at her, she was 1 meter away from him. She was really walking slow.

"C'mon, walk faster." he said, expressionlessly.

Hikari snapped out, she walked with him. She looks really sad, the man doesn't seem to care . .

Itachi showed her a HUGE room. It was really big, there was probably hundred of seats. She looked around she saw a lot of people, she also saw a stage looking area with a speakers table. It looked like the senate office of the Philippines, this was more majestic though.

An old man saw them, his hair was white and long. He was also wearing a strange clothing that looks like the ones in the old japanese movies. He was also wearing a traditional japanese slippers. He was rushing into them, he looks really happy. He was looking especially at Hikari. The girl was curious.

"Hime-sama!!"

Before the old man was able to hug her, Itachi grabbed her hand hand and pulled her into him. She blushed. It was the first time Itachi held her close without hurting her.

"Excuse me House representative Jiraiya-san." Itachi said with respect. Hikari looked at him, he was really charming. The old man landed on the floor.

"Oh . . I'm sorry Your highness, I just too excited to meet the princess." the old man looked at her, he was still giving her 'that look'. She was really weirded out.

Itachi released her, he introduced the old man to her.

"Hikari, this is house representative Namikaze Jiraiya-san. He is the father of the decreased House Representative Namikaze Minato." Hikari politely introduced herself. The old man seems fun to be with.

"Yoroshiku, Namikaze-san." she smiled. She extended her hand

The old man blushed and took her hand. "You don't need to be so formal your highness, the pleasure is all mine."

The other parliament members saw them and introduced themselves to the new princess. They were all very friendly and all of them looks very unique.

Itachi's cellphone rang.

"Hikari, you wait here. Gentlemen please excuse me for a minute" The man exited from the scene.

The crowd were still busy talking.

"Ne Hikari-hime? you sure are tight with his highness aren't you?" Jiraiya asked her, she was seating with one of the chairs. Why did they thought they were close?

"Not really . . I don't really . ." she decided not to continue her sentence. The other parliament members were asking her questions too. She answered each and everyone of them politely. She was very charming.

Old Jiraiya was quite surprised about her, she hasn't taken her 'princess training' but her poise, form and speech was very noble. She was very polite too. But her eyes were very sad, he wondered why. Such a beautiful lady, being sad about something. He was a bit concern.

"So Hime-chan, do you like him?" the old man asked, the other parliament members were also curious.

"Who?"

"Ouji-sama?" another parliament member added. The girl twitched, why does everybody kept on asking this question or saying that SHE for heavens sakes, loves that Girly-face?

" . . Is it important? . ." She don't know what to say, she looked a little sad. Jiraiya and the other looked at her, They were surprised.

Their was silence . .

Jiraiya laughed. "Of coarse it is! hahaha! You'll be spending your entire life with him! hahaha!! I like you Hime-chan! hahaha!!"

The other laughed too. She realized what she just said and felt embarrassed. Another parliament member stepped forward and asked her the same question. The girl can't lie but, if she told them what she truly felt she might be in trouble again. She might cause an embarrassment to the Royal family . . she was sad, like she was about to cry.

" . . Actually . . I . . don't really think . ."

"Hikari, let's go." she was cut off by Itachi. Looks like he was in a hurry. She looked at him with sad eyes, did he notice?

Itachi told her that Jii-chan is asking them to come to the press conference too. She just nodded, they bid farewell and exited the scene. Hikari was following behind him, she was remembering that question.

Are you willing to love him?

Are you ready to take the responsibility?

Are you sure you want to spend your whole life with him?

Those were the same questions that was revolving through her head, before saying yes to him. Before she promised him that she will marry him. She didn't know why the hell she said yes too. She just . .

I just felt like . .

I need to help him . .

. . .

But Why do I feel like this?

"Walk faster . ." the man told him, he was outside already. He was still the same, cold and expressionless. Hikari just nodded, she's not okay.

The sky is gloomy too.

They went inside the car, their distance from each other was very far. They weren't talking. It was a really long ride. Hikari spoke, she didn't know why.

"If your relationship will be accepted, will you still marry me? . . . If Sasuke-kun and you aren't siblings will you still accept this?" her tone was very beautiful, calm . . . but sad. The question just came out . .

She didn't look at him, the limousine's glass window can't reflect her eyes. She was smiling though . . a very weak smile. The girl was restarining herself from crying again. It took a while before answering her.

"No." he immediately replied. With that same tone; cold and expressionless. His eyes weren't visible too.

There was silence.

. . .

"I thought so . . ."

. . .

Small raindrops started to fall from the sky.

Little by little . .

It started to rain . . .

- - -

The two reached the place, though they were a lot of people who was making war with their bodyguards just to see them. The two of them entered the main building of T.V Tokyo, safe and sound. A bodyguards work is really tiring, especially when you are working for this two.

When they entered the building, camera's, press people and T.V reporters who was waiting for them started to come towards them. Hikari wasn't still 'feeling well' but continued walking behind him. Itachi looked like he was used to it, he just gave them a fake smile and ignored them till they reached the press con room. They were taken in the dressing room before going in.

Itachi sighed and sat on a chair, Hikari sat down as well as their bodyguards shield the door.

"Your highnesses, we will be closing the door. Please rest yourselves for a while."

The door shut , living the two alone again.

There was silence.

Hikari snapped when he spoke.

"Don't act stupid when we get there . ." she felt pissed "You know-" she cut him off. She was feeling really bad now.

"I know! I know!" she didn't let him notice that she was pissed, she agreed to it already. Besides she's the one who declared there laws. "I'll try my hardest not to."she jut looked at him and gave him a smile. She knows she can't back up now. She has no choice. She's very frustated.

"Hn."

. . .

Itachi who was seating across her stood, there was mirror in front of so she can see him. He was walking towards her. What now?

The man grabbed her chair and turned it around, Itachi leaned forward. He was holding the sides of her chair, she can't escape. The girl was blushing badly. He leaned forward, and whispered to her ear. Why does he always do it? Does he really do it for fun? or is he gonna torture her again? But what ever is his reason, Hikari just didn't like it. Her ears are very sensitive . . especially when she can feel his breathing in her ears, its just feel so . .

"If you do run away, I'm gonna do something to you . . got it?"

Hikairi's heart had just stopped beating. His voice was so magnetic and seductive she didn't know what to do. Her face was so hot and red, she was suffocating. All her sadness was being wiped away by her pounding heart, she felt weak . .

" . . . H-h-hai . . W-wakat-ta . ." her voice was very weak. She wondered what was 'that something' but she didn't asked him. It would be very dangerous if she did. Who knows what was he thinking.

Itachi looked at her, she can't look straight into his eyes.

" . . N-nanda? . ."

" . . . When we go out there and the press asked you something about me, don't answer back." his tone was serious now, she was still blushing.

"Why?"

"Just don't. Let me answer it, understand?"

Is he tensed about something? He was expressionless but he looks really serious. Hikari's curiosity rose.

"Is it really important?"

Itachi turned his gaze from the noisy door and smirked, he looked back at her. Didn't he hear her? She felt annoyed.

"Didn't you he-"

He leaned closer to her face. That 'funny feeling' comes back again. Her heart was beating nonstop.

"They'll be coming here anytime soon . . " Hikari shut her eyes as he run his hand in his hot cheeks. Can he feel it? She feels weaker.

. . No . . I'm suffocating . . Hold on . . . s-stop . .

Itachi kept running her hands till he reached her ponytail. She leaned backwards, he leaned closer; he was still smirking. Hikari was melting, she was breathing heavy and her face is as red as a tomato.

He is just touching her . . right?

He wasn't doing anything . .

But why is she melting like this?

He's so close . . he's breathing . . I can feel it . .

Itachi leaned forward again as he untie her hair, he run his fingers through her hair. She looks so lovely, any man would fall for her with just one a look.

Their lips are 3 inches away. She's gonna die soon if he didn't let go . . and why is she doing anything too!? What's going on here? Is he going to kiss her . .

His other hand touched her extremely warm cheeks.

I'm gonna . .

. . .

"Hikari . ."

. . .

his voice its just . .

Itachi was pulling her towards him, is he really gonna kiss her?

BAM!!

The door banged open.

Camera's began to flash at them.

Itachi pulled away.

Hikari turned her red face towards it.

"Ouji-sama what's going on?"

"Your highnesses, are you two really this close?"

Eh?

. . .

Hikari felt used . .

"They'll be coming here anytime soon . ."

. . .

Tears started to roll down her face, she didn't look at him. She understood it.

The girl run out from the scene, leaving Itachi and the media alone. Some of her bodyguards followed her.

Tears began to fall non-stop. She went out from the building and run through the streets . . soaking wet. Nobody was able to know where she is.

The rain is her only sanctuary . . Her emotions are on fire, she was angry, pissed, fed up and tired . . she just wanna get out of here.

The rain was still pouring non-stop.

Her heart is going to burst with emotions, her hair flowed as she run.

. . .

She's running like she's running for her life.

She hated him.

She hated that man.

. . .

I hate you . .

I hate you . . I don't want to see you . .

I wanna get out of here . .

I wanna go home . .

Next Chapter preview:

Back in the dressing room Itachi was alone. The man sat on the girl's chair. His bodyguards were surrounding the room so that nobody can enter anymore. Neji who just came was talking on the phone with Sai.

"What!? you can't find her yet? . . Just keep looking . . Hime-sama is bad with directions . . she can't run away outside-" Itachi can't him off. The mirror can't reflect his eyes.

"Send them outside . ."

"Your Highness?"

"She's probably outside . . running like an idiot . ." He was smirking, was he happy? What the hell is he thinking anyway? Neji was wondering as well.

"When she's crying . . she'll run away . . far away when nobody can find her . . There she'll cry . . and when she stops . . there are a tendency that she will get more lost . . ." his tone was indescribable, like he was guilty or sad? but he's smirking.

He knows her . .

The girl didn't change a bit since he first met her . .

When she was little . .

She run away from him before too . .

It was his fault anyway . .

Was he guilty?

Does he feel bad?

Did he really use her?

"Your highness where are you going?" Neji was surprised.
