MY FOE IS MY FIANCÉ?

CHAPTER 1 THE ARRANGED MARRIGE

Written by Sarah Patrick

Mr. Hyuuga and Mr. Sakura were well-known people in Fukuoka, Kyuushu; talented, generous and friendly. But most of all, people respected them for what they were now, and it made them amazed to hear their childhood story. Mr. Hyuuga and Mr. Sakura were best friends. They were like siblings; brothers who cared and loved each other... nothing in the world could break their strong bond of friendship...

Their friendship were so secure that one day, they had decided that their first born child must get engaged with one another, so that their friendship would take a big step to another level closer: family.

Jet black hair, deep crimson eyes with a friendly smile, as kind as his warm beam, this rich famous painter, who was previously a son of a wealthy famous bank manager who had disowned him for marrying a pretty clerk whom he had a crush on since they were schooling in the prestigious Gakuen Alice and caused the Hyuuga tradition to fall apart, Mr. Kyoya Hyuuga talked happily to his best friend, Mr. Shirou Sakura; the best surgical doctor in Kyushu about stuff, jokes, wife, Gakuen Alice, family...

These two friends were so famous in the city that wherever they went, they would attract every pair of eyes from the citizen of the town. People started to talk about them, their deeds and their past. Every year, Mr. Hyuuga would donate a large sum of money to the Hospital owned by Mr.—or can we say Dr. Sakura to help the poor and the doctor himself had his own ways of helping others that would make every woman in the town to drop dead just to get them as their perfect husband.

Laughter was heard from the two men. The atmosphere of the cafe lightened; made others around them felt cheerier to witness the famous friends' chit-chatting together.

"I wish you'd never leave, Kyoya..." said the doctor bitterly. Kyoya Hyuuga smiled at his friend and patted his back.

"Hey, Shirou... don't say that... I'm just leaving to Sappora in Hokkaido ne..." said Kyoya with his deep voice.

"Kyushu and Hokkaido... Do you know it's like another end of Japan? Well... actually it is!" boomed Dr Shirou Sakura sadly. His hazel eyes shone dully as he hoped his best friend would cancel the plan. It was painful for him to let them leave but it would hurt him more to force them to stay and not pursue his friend's dream...

A rush of wind blew his dark hair covering his hazel eyes partially. A momentary silence strolled in after that.

"I'm going to miss you buddy... glad we become friends at that brink," said Shirou quietly as he remembered the day when their friendship bloomed—vanishing their enmity and hateful feelings away.

"Yeah...glad we did..." agreed Kyoya Hyuuga with a gentle smile.

"Sorry for causing you got kicked out of the house when you were younger, Kyoya... You really shouldn't have—"

"Hush... don't you dare to talk about that! That stupid tradition should not have continued and should long been diminished! So, shut up and be happy for we are all now free men!" began Kyoya. Then, he stared at his friend intriguingly. "Or I will marry your wife instead!" teased Kyoya and they laughed for they knew that the only person who could control the spitfire auburn haired woman, Yuka Azumi (Shirou's wife) was Shirou Sakura alone.

FLASHBACK

It had been a tradition for over a hundred generations for the Sakura generation to be the slaves of the rich Hyuuga generation. The Sakura generations were forbidden to pursue their educations and were only allowed until high school; if and only if, they had a good Hyuuga master, for they had to spend the rest of their life in slavery.

The Hyuuga's were allowed to have the Sakura as mistress too despite their age and gender nor status of married or not. The Sakura was treated like dirt if they had heartless Hyuuga as their masters.

There were also Hyuuga masters who were kind, but not kind enough to break the slavery status for they think that they were much superior. History had shown that the Sakura had ever used for sacrifices for some beliefs or killed by the Hyuuga as they wished. Yet, there has not been any Hyuuga who had ever protested about slavery until the hundredth and six generation, Kyoya Hyuuga.

Every generation of Hyuuga had different traits which they inherited from generation to another but it seems like there was only one thing about the Hyuuga which it would remained in every physical traits of every person named of Hyuuga: crimson eyes.

No matter whom they were married to, with different colored eyed person—emerald, azure, silver, umber... and yet, their born child would always possess the glistening crimson eyes, the red blood eyes... it was belief that it was a curse carried through generations in their blood.

It was a curse given from the first generation of the Sakura. The lady was famous for her beauties and her good deeds as an Alice Master. She was one of the most powerful masters existed in her time. The curse was cast upon the Hyuuga by her. The cause of the curse put on to the Hyuuga was the very Hyuuga who first brought up this slavery status upon them.

He was the only Hyuuga who possessed crimson eyes, glistening piercing bloody red as his killing and darkening aura. Famous for his good looks, he was also infamous for his cruel assassinations.

He made the Sakura generation as their slaves when their most beautiful daughter had killed herself from marrying that hatred Hyuuga. She had made a solemn imprecation before her last breath left her body with the remaining power of Alice in her dying body.

'Every person in the Hyuuga generation would possess the cursed eyes of that Satan Hyuuga... that cursed eyes of that Satan Hyuuga...'

Under the stormy night, as the rain dropped hard on the ground of the cursed land... the sight of the woman's death was very formidable... the dark sky and the bloody ground had sealed the curse into the Hyuuga. The curse remained in their body without any promising cure and even though many generations had come and go... it has really proved that the curse was flowing in their blood... but none of the Hyuuga would want to change this curse, for crimson eyes were their trademark.

A pride that they felt mighty for... crimson eyes... blood red and beauty... that was a unique 'gift' from their first Hyuuga crimson eyed ancestor who they idolized... and they would never ever wanted to break the curse at all...

As kind as his smile to the Sakura's, Kyoya Hyuuga had proved everyone that he was definitely different from his kin. As the next master of the Hyuuga family, he had helped and loved every Sakura and even treated them as a part of family made the elders felt uneasy. He let all young Sakura to go to school in Gakuen Alice and became good friends with them.

But alas, there was only one Sakura who misinterpreted his true attention, Shirou Sakura. His hazel eyes narrowed darkly as he stared at the crimson eyed boy with full of disgust. He clicked his tongue every time the boy tried to talk to him. He felt annoyed to see that irritating smile... because for him, Kyoya was just like the rest.

To him, Kyoya was being a kind person to others so that people would agree on him becoming the next master, the next master of Element Alice and Hyuuga Clan, while he, Shirou Sakura, the next master of Rare/Special Alice and Sakura Clan.

It was a humiliation to him that he was under that despicable Hyuuga... his kin should be freed, not to be captured and enslaved like this... he spat on the floor as he breathed heavily at the Kyoya who smiled.

"Get lost, Killer..." he spat in disgust and walked away. Kyoya smile faded as he disappeared. All Kyoya wanted to do was to befriend with him... He too wanted to let the Sakura to be free...

END OF FLASHBACK

"Kyoya! Kyoya!" called Shirou at the day-dreaming man. Kyoya snapped to the reality world and smiled at his best friend. "Geez man... I've called you since the last five minutes... where had your mind taken you to?" asked Shirou, smirking. Kyoya was about to answer him but Shirou didn't bother to wait.

"Ah... never mind that... look... who's coming..." sneered Shirou as he nudged him and pointed a pretty black haired woman who was coming towards them with the corner of his eyes. Kyoya blushed but then smiled at the woman.

"Honey... let's go home..." said the woman as she kissed him on his lips. Kyoya took her hand and stood up.

"Got to go, Shirou... glad to see you again buddy... See you soon..." said Kyoya as he waved at Shirou and Yuka who just appeared beside Shirou.

"Send lots of love to your parents, Hikaru..." said Yuka to Kyoya's wife. She smiled at them.

The Hyuuga's went into the car and with the last bid, they left, leaving the freeman Sakura's behind... Yuka and Shirou stared at the car until it disappeared from sight.

Yuka cast a smile on her pretty face and laid her hand gently on her tummy.

"Shirou..." she began. Shirou looked at her and grinned at her.

"We have a new visitor..." smiled Yuka.

"Visitor?" asked Shirou befuddled.

"Hmm... visitor... a new one who will come into this wonderful world..." said Yuka quietly and dreamily. Shirou gasped.

"What visitor? Oh no... The house is messy... I better call our maids to clean the—" began Shirou but Yuka smacked on his head in annoyance.

"No baka (idiot)... I'm pregnant!" growled the spitfire woman and looked away. Shirou jaw dropped.

"Really?! WOW!! I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!! YAHOOOOOO!!" screamed Shirou in happiness. He hugged his wife and whispered into her ears his love as much as his breath could say... for then now he knew that the bond of Hyuuga and Sakura can really, really get closer... when the baby comes... this baby will get engaged with the Hyuuga's...
