Royal Seventeen

Chapter 1

Tachikawa Mansion

The seventeen year old daughter of the Tachikawa Financial Clique, Tachikawa Mimi was extremely bored with her wonderful royal life.

"Mimi-sama!!"

Mimi's long wavy hair followed behind her as she dashed down the stairs, a crowd of women running after her. She wore her coral, white and crimson Royal Academy school uniform. Her coral uniform top had puffy sleeves in the shoulder area, extending tightly down to her wrists, the white ends lined with crimson had white lace lining underneath; she had a crimson bow at the front of her uniform with four buttons below it and another crimson bow fastening the lower back; her white pleated uniform skirt, which she had shortened a great amount, had a crimson lining just like on her white sailor-style collar and sleeve ends; and she wore socks that went up just below her knee, loose around the ankles, with her Royal Academy leather shoes. The head woman took out a pin cushion and pulled out a needle.

"You shortened your skirt length again! I will not let you go!!" She screamed after Mimi.

She turned back without slowing down. "Leave me alone! I'd rather die than wear a long one!"

"As the daughter of a good family, you cannot be perplexed by fashion! You mustn't lose character! You're the only daughter of the Tachikawa family! Your appearance must be that of a lily flower!"

"I'm telling you! It's not the time period where you lived! It's not the Showa Era anymore! You are so old-fashioned!"

"Beautiful features, honesty and purity, intellectuality and talent! You must have all of these!"

Mimi stopped on her tracks as she bumped into an effeminate-looking man.

"Argh! Shut up!"

Mimi was taken, rather dragged, to her royal makeup station where the household's stylists usually prepare her for school. One of them was curling and blow drying her hair, another was painting her nails and the effeminate man put makeup on her face. Mimi just sat impatiently on her chair, one leg over the other as she fretted over getting caught.

"Today, I tried to create snow crystals on your nails," said the manicurist as she examined Mimi's beautifully French-tipped fingernails.

"Your hair is in royal curls, as usual," said the hairstylist who let her long soft curls flow down way past her shoulders.

"For your makeup, I used a lot of pink to match your white lily-colored skin," said the makeup artist as he put on the finishing touches.

"Fine, fine. Just get it over with." Gosh, they won't even let me do my makeup the way I want it.

When they were done, the household physician walked over to her as she sat on her royal chair.

"Ah, Mimi-sama. I've come to check your health." He pulled out a stethoscope and examined her. "Normal pulse rate. Normal blood pressure. Normal heartbeat. Normal body temperature. Hime, you are very much healthy indeed."

(Hime = Princess)

"Ah, fine. Thank you, Doctor." Mimi sighed as she walked down the hall on the way to the massive royal doors where her breakfast awaited. I cannot go to school unless I have a physical examination every single day…

She sat on her chair, picked up the silverware and stared at her breakfast. There was a butler by her side awaiting any orders and a young servant playing a violin. The head maid in charge of straightening her out follows her everywhere she goes to ensure that she turns into a proper princess. She stood at Mimi's side opposite the butler as she read from a little black book.

"I am now going to tell you today's schedule."

Mimi sighed in discontent as she reluctantly ate her healthy breakfast.

"After you come home from school, you first have violin practice, then piano and vocal. After that, your English teacher will come to see you. On Saturday, you must practice equitation at Karuizawa… on Sunday, blah blah blah…"

Mimi's face distorted in disgust. This house's food isn't very good… ever since I was small, I never thought it was tasty… this healthy food… whatever it is. Mimi hunched forward and grimaced as she forced herself to eat her bland breakfast.

"Mistress, why are you eating like that?!" The head maid didn't agree with her posture. "Straighten your back! Use your fork in the right order! And I have already told you this a long time ago!"

Mimi picked up the table napkin and wiped around her lips. The head maid kept yelling at her.

"When one goes out to eat with a gentleman, it is said that a woman who doesn't have any manners would be easily disliked. Because Mimi-sama is an important person, please control yourself."

Mimi's expression became sad as she listened to the old bat. I don't want to be important…

The tapping of heels against the marble floor filled the room as Mimi's mother walked in for some breakfast. "Good morning, Mimi-chan."

"Morning, mother…" Mimi replied nonchalantly.

Her mother leaned in and kissed her tenderly on the cheeks. "You're so cute as always. Well, it's obvious since you came from me."

Mimi's mother was beautiful. Her wavy strawberry blonde hair went down to her lower back; she had white skin and light brown eyes. Her sexy figure showed through her tight blazer top and skirt which was lined with snow white fur, and as always, she wore high stiletto shoes.

Mother is the most beautiful woman in royal society. Everybody says I look like her, but sadly, I was not able to inherit Mother's sexy grace.

"Father's in Hong Kong right now. He said that he won't be coming home yet." She took a sip of her coffee.

"You were probably love chatting with father all night, right?"

"Oho ho ho ho ho ho~! That's because I love father very much! I can't sleep unless your father sings a lullaby for me every night!" She laughed her weird happy laugh.

Mother's morning smorgasbord is always about Father. Although it is a good thing to have parents with such a great relationship.

SFX: BEEP BEEEEEP!

Upon hearing a car honk, Mimi climbed up her chair, pulled the drapes aside and slammed the window open. She looked down below at the unfamiliar black sedan parked out front. A young man with blue hair and glasses stepped out of the car and looked up at her.

"Hey, Princess. Let's go to school together." He waved at her.

Geh! Kido Jou! Mimi quickly turned around to face her mother. "Mother!!! Why did you call him over?!"

She wiped her lips with a table napkin and smiled at Mimi. "That's because Mimi-chan always runs away to somewhere lately. Father was very worried about you, so he suggested that your fiancé, Jou-kun, take you to school."

Mimi was pissed. She clenched her fists and trembled in anger. "Why… mother…?"

Her mother turned to look at her. "Hmm?"

"Mother and Father are linked by a great love and passion, but…" She put her hand to her chest. "Why can't I even have the freedom to love?!"

Mimi's mother turned back to her meal. "It would be troublesome to have an outsider become the next successor of the Tachikawa house. A woman's happiness depends on the man. Jou-kun would not be a worry."

Mimi stood hopeless before her mother. She knew it was futile to attempt to appeal to her mother's good nature.

"He's the son of Father's associate and he's very smart. He's even your old playmate. If you have a deeper relationship with him, it will definitely form into a great love and passion… just like your mother and father."

Mimi couldn't stand to hear it. That's so cruel!! She couldn't take it anymore. She had snapped.

Her mother stared at her. "Mimi-chan?"

"I can't stand it anymore! It's too much!!" She screamed at everybody at the top of her lungs. "EVERY SINGLE DAMN DAY! Forced physical examination! Tortured hair and makeup! Paralyzing manners!" She clenched her fists and slammed them on the breakfast table. "Tutoring three days a week! Violin two days a week! Piano two days a week! Vocal lessons three days a week! Social dance one day a week, Horse-riding, English, Ballet, Tennis, Skiing, Swimming, Art Class, Golf, Tea Ceremony, Flower Arrangement!! I can't even wear my favorite clothes! I can't choose my own hairstyle! I can't choose my own friends and boyfriend! The schedule is already made up of 365 days without my own will! From cradle to grave, my life is already made up!! Who's the one that made me like this!?"

The head maid was terrified. "M-Mistress…"

Tears began to well up in her eyes as she grabbed her white school bag. "What is with the 'Mistress' calling?! You can at least give me a little freedom!" Mimi ran off.

"Mimi-chan!?" Her mother called out to her.

The head maid panicked. "Mistress has run away again!"

"Mimi-chan, where are you going?!"

She yelled back. "School! Leave me alone!!"

Outside, Jou sighed. She's so late…

Mimi ran through the miniature forest outside her family's estate, tears in her eyes.

I can't stand living a restricted life. Father, Mother, Granny… I know that everyone loves me, but…

She lost her balance and fell on her knees. She looked up at the sky as the birds flew by.

At least let me love freely just like a normal girl. I want to meet someone who would actually love me from within. Is it too selfish for me to wish for that?

Mimi was hungry. She hadn't really eaten the breakfast that was prepared for her at home. Since she was young, the only food prepared for her had always a low-everything kind of diet. She was tired of it. Instead, she took a real liking to McDonald's. Although it was cheap, it was way tastier than anything she's ever eaten at home.

She peeked in. "Wow… it's so crowded today." She stretched. But I really hate my life… that's why I can't stop running away.

SFX: RUMBLE

Gya! Granny would scold me if my tummy rumbled at home.

Mimi walked to the counter and looked up at the menu. The cashier, recognizing her uniform, cheerfully spoke to her. "Welcome!! Have you decided on your order?"

"Er… um…" Mimi looked at the cashier eagerly. "One Big Mac and a cinnamon roll with an orange juice."

"One Big Mac and a cinnamon roll with an orange juice."

Mimi was surprised when she heard a male voice echo her order. Confused, she turned to look at him and he gazed at her. She was taken aback.

His golden blond hair looked sleek under the light, his straight locks over his right eye. His crystal blue eyes looked almost liquid, beautiful and lucid, piercing the very core of souls. He had a fair complexion. Not as light as Mimi's pampered skin but just as beautiful. He had three piercings on his left ear and two on his right. He wore the Royal Academy gakuran for male students; (gakuran = a military style uniform from the Meiji era modeled on European-style naval uniforms) the top is white with a standing collar and coral lining; it is buttoned from the inside so the buttons are not visible; the pants are also coral and straight leg with a black belt containing the Royal Academy emblem; he also wore the Academy leather shoes for male students. He had a silver chain attached to his uniform trousers that connected to his black leather wallet, which he held in his left hand.

What… what's with this guy? Such a beautiful man…

She turned away from him to avoid his gaze.

"Are you finished with your order, miss?"

Mimi looked down, her cheeks were flushed. "Ah… can you add a mango pudding?"

"Then I'll also add in one mango pudding."

Huh?! Mimi quickly turned to look at him. "Um, excuse me. Please don't copy me…"

He smiled at her. "You're the one who copied me first."

"That's…" Mimi was confused. Looking closely… he's definitely wearing the same Royal Academy uniform so he goes to my school. He's so tall… hmm… was there a hot guy like him in my school?

She continued to stare at him, unaware that he'd noticed.

"What are you looking at? Are you trying to open a hole in my uniform?"

Mimi turned away quickly and blushed. "That's not what…"

"That will be 820 yen."

"Ah, yes." Mimi opened her white school bag and looked for her wallet. Eh? You've got to be kidding me. She looked for it some more. Crap!! I forgot my wallet!!! It's all Granny's fault!

Mimi's tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at her scrumptious meal. I can't eat this today? Even though that's the only fun I get to have…

Mimi sighed as she wiped her tears off. Ugh… so embarrassing… he's even watching me.

He smiled at the cashier as he took her hand and placed the bill on it. "Here, for two. 1,640 yen."

What?! Mimi stared at him wide-eyed.

The cashier blushed. "Eh? Is it all right for both?"

He charmed her with a smile. They both picked up their trays and Mimi followed behind him. "Ah… um…"

He turned and smiled at her. "I'll feed you. In return, you can date me once."

Mimi's face flustered. Eh?!

She just stared at him as he smiled and walked away.

What… what a rude man! Is he saying that my incidental worth is 820 yen?! Ugh… but I can't go calling the house to bring me money. It would be bad if they found out this is where I always run away to.

Mimi looked around. Aww… there are no seats. She sighed.

"This seat's open." He waved at her and pointed at the seat across from him.

Mimi flinched. She walked towards him and slammed her tray on the table. He leaned his chin on his hand as he watched her.

"I will not accept a date." She rested one hand on her hip and pointed at her food tray. "I'm not that hungry either. I… will return this!"

SFX: RUUUMMMBBBLLLE

Mimi's stomach spoke for itself. She was famished. He chuckled at her.

"Eat it." He held the burger out to her. "It's going to get cold."

She couldn't help it. She was hungry. She flopped down to the seat across from him and grabbed the burger.

She opened the wrapper and took big bites. She was devouring it… fast. Not fair!! So embarrassing!! But… I can't win against this taste!

He stared at her in surprise or disbelief.

"I know already. Even though I am a student at Royal Academy, you want to say that I don't have any eating manners, right?"

His gaze fell to his food. "Not really." From his expression, he looked like he cared. "It's poisonous for your body if you don't follow your instinct and desire. Eating all you want, sleeping all you want. Having sex all you want is what I think is best. Since we are still young."

Mimi choked on her drink at the emphasis of "sex". This guy is freaky. No… he's dangerous!

He stared at her. She sure eats so deliciously. "How about I serve you another set?" His hand moved over hers. "Although the date's atmosphere would become a lot 'thicker'."

Mimi's face burned so much, if water touched it, it would sizzle. She pulled her hand back to herself.

"I'm very sorry, but I already have a fiancé." She chuckled nervously. "It's forbidden for me to go out with another person." Although I don't like Jou, I will have to use him.

He stared straight into her caramel eyes. "It's an 'engagement' right? It doesn't mean you're married to him yet. That means other men still have that kind of chance."

Mimi looked down, face red. "It's… it's none of your business…" Er… why does it have to turn out like this…?

"Do you love him?"

Mimi looked up. "Huh?"

"Do you love your fiancé? Do you think you can give him everything you have?"

Her expression was shocked. Now that she thought about it, she could never do that. He smiled triumphantly at her.

When she realized he had toyed with her head, she became angry and slammed her hands on the table. "You're such a rude person! Why do I have to listen to a person that I've just met?! I definitely won't go out on a date with you!!"

Mimi's outburst was heard throughout the place. People began to whisper and gossip.

"I'll give you back the 820 yen at school!" She grabbed her bag and turned towards the door. Just as she started walking, he grabbed her wrist tightly.

She turned to him. "It hurts. Let me go!"

"Is that okay with you?" He looked at her intently. "It's not even allowed for the daughter of the Tachikawa Corporation to be in this kind of place secretly, eating like a pig, right? If you say that you don't want to date me, I will tell your parents and even let the whole school know."

Her cheeks turned red in embarrassment. She raised her hand and slapped him. She was outraged. "You knew from the beginning and joked around with me?! That's so mean!!"

He touched his cheek with the back of his opposite hand. Just when she was about to feel remorse for what she did, he pulled her to him by the wrist, knocking off all their food, and pinned her down.

"Kyaa!"

He leaned in and smiled at her. "You're so naïve. Did you know that the ones who raise their hand first are the losers?"

He closed the gap between their lips as he held her arms down.

"N-No… stop… nn…" Everyone is watching… Ah…

She tried to resist, but the more she did, the deeper his kiss. His hand moved under her head and he pulled her even closer. His other hand caressed the side of her face as he pulled away slightly, then obviously sliding his tongue inside her mouth.

Ah… his tongue! Stop…

He deepened the pressure of their kiss as his tongue slithered in different directions inside her mouth. Her body felt like it was being submerged in liquid fire. Her body shivered at the touch of his tongue, sending different tingling sensation to her sensitive areas.

No. Don't stop. Nn…

Her hand, which was on his shoulder, intent on pushing him away, gripped tightly as she pulled him closer to the best of her ability. She responded to his adventurous tongue and kissed him passionately.

After a while, she opened her eyes in realization and pushed him away. "No!"

Mimi started trembling. She was so embarrassed and enamored by his hot kiss that she completely forgot reality. What… the hell was I doing?

She covered her lips with her hand and dashed away. I can never go back to that store! I'm so embarrassed!!

Mimi didn't remove her hand from her lips. She couldn't forget the lingering sensation that kiss left her. It was my first kiss… what kind of guy does that? I won't forgive him.

Private Royal Academy

Mimi walked down the hall with her head down and her cheeks flushed. As she walked by, she could hear the chattering of rich kids who're completely happy flaunting their rich lifestyles.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

"My father bought a new cruiser. I'll invite you sometime."

"This Rolex watch was custom made."

As Mimi walked silently, a certain red-haired brown-skinned girl attacked her with a hug.

"Good morning, Mimi! Wanna go out tonight?"

"Ah! Good morning, Sora."

Sora pulled away from Mimi and examined her carefully. "Hmm…"

"W-What?"

"Mimi… your lips are swollen." She leaned in to whisper. "Were you kissing this morning?"

Mimi's cheeks turned red. "W-What are you talking about?"

Sora touched her cheek. "And your body's hot too. Were you having sex?"

"What?! You're wro—"

"So you've finally become a woman! Mimi-chan, we must have a party!"

"Hey! Listen to m—"

"Don't worry, I won't tell your dad."

"I'm telling you that you got it all wrong!!"

Sora snickered and nudged her. "Don't be shy."

They started walking down to class. "Anyway, did you hear? A burglar broke into the principal's office."

Mimi looked at her friend. "A burglar?"

"Lately, our school's gotten dangerous."

Mimi covered her lips. No way… his taste is still left inside my mouth…

All of a sudden, a hand patted Mimi's shoulder making her turn quickly. Eek! Jou!?

"Mimi-chan, you suddenly disappeared even though I was waiting for you." He had a freaky smile. "Where were you? I was looking all over for you with my helicopter…"

Mimi whispered to Sora. "I completely forgot his existence…"

Mimi pushed his hand off. "Where I go is my choice! Please leave me alone."

With their proximity, Jou's eyes automatically fell to Mimi's well-rounded breasts. "Of course I cannot do that. That's because we will live together in the near future." His cheeks turned bright pink. "That means we are going to sleep in the same bed, right?"

Mimi got goose bumps at his emphasis on "bed".

"Sometime soon, I want to host an announcement party for our engagement." He pulled out an overly decorated ring box and flashed it in her face. "I hope you will be wearing this during that time. Please accept it."

As soon as Jou opened the box, a huge diamond popped out. There could not be more emphasis on huge. It was almost the same size as the roundness of the band. A price tag was embedded to the case labeled "¥10,000,000".

There was a big silence as Jou knelt before her presenting the ring box and the huge diamond.

Isn't this a proposal? Mimi turned to Sora who was laughing so hard, tears were dripping out of her eyes.

Grr… what kind of guy would give a ring that still has a tag at this kind of place?! He sure doesn't know anything! If the relationship between us would turn into a deep love or passion, then I'd rather die!

"I don't want this kind of thing!!" Mimi hit his hand away and the ring flew out.

"Ow! Please don't throw it away!" Jou chased after it.

Sora was still laughing. "Why don't you hand it over to me? I'll send it to a pawn shop."

Math Class

"Oh my. Where did Mimi Tachikawa-san go?" The teacher asked the class.

Sora looked around and took her earphones off. Huh? I didn't notice that. Where'd she go?

Jou snickered to himself. She's probably somewhere, crying of happiness because she was touched by my proposal. Yes, Mimi-hime, I understand how you feel.

Royal Gardening Club Greenhouse

"That freaking non-understanding guy!!"

Mimi sat on one of the benches fuming. "Because I feel so stressed out, I don't feel like going to class!!" If I have to be in the same bed as Jou, I'd rather sleep with that blond guy!

She recalled the intense memory of his kiss and blushed. Out of nowhere, forcing me and kissing me like that… "I won't accept a perverted man like that! I don't know what he will do to me the next time I see him!"

But… the kiss I shared with him… tasted so good… I don't know if he's used to those kind of stuff, but… it was such a pleasant feeling… to be kissed by him. It was so… what's the word…

Her train of thought was interrupted by the sound of movement in the bushes.

"My, my, if it isn't the daughter of the Tachikawa Corporation."

Mimi jumped up out of the bench, terrified. Ack! The Academy's delinquent group!

"We were just going to divide the money we had stolen here, but I never thought I would find a feast like this."

Mimi tried to step as far away from the thugs as possible. "W-What are you planning to do?" She took a step back. "If you do something, I'm going to tell the teacher!"

For every step she took backwards, the main thug took a step forward. He chuckled.

I'm scared!!

Mimi dashed through the three men and tried to run for it. The main guy grabbed her by the hair and pushed her down on the ground. Mimi slapped him. "No! Stop!!"

He grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head. "Stop wiggling around!"

"No!" She tried to knee him on the groin but he closed in before it made an impact. She was helpless.

"Hehe… your breasts are so round!"

Before he could lay a hand on her, a cactus flew at top speed and hit him on the side of the face.

"Owowowow! Who the hell threw a cactus at my face?!" He panicked as he tried to pry it off.

"Gosh, you guys disturbed my precious naptime." The blond-haired guy sat up from behind a tree and yawned. "I hate it when they do that to me."

He looked intently at Mimi.

Oh… I'm saved…

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Go away you asshole!"

He leaned to the side and yawned again. "You're free to do whatever you want, but just don't disturb my naptime. If you're gonna do it, do it somewhere else."

The thugs were surprised. Mimi sat up. What's with this guy?! "H-Hey! Aren't you going to help me?! Aren't you a man!?"

He laid on the flower grass, his hands behind his head, and smiled. "We don't really know each other. I can help if you want me to, but what about some 'payment'?"

"I will, of course, show expression of gratitude!"

"Date…"

"Oh yes! I will go out on a date with you!" Mimi beamed at him.

He got up, propped his elbow on the grass and rested his chin against his hand. "Going out on a date is 'payment' for buying you that hamburger, right? In these cases, I have to get something 'more' than just a date." He smiled. "I have a policy of not moving if I don't get paid."

"Y-You… of all people…" What a mean guy!! I feel so stupid to let myself become a little flustered by him!

The thugs glared at him. "What's with him?!"

"Hey, let's go to another spot!" The thug grabbed her arm and yanked it. "C'mon."

Mimi's tears started to well up in her eyes. "Help me… please…"

He just sat up and yawned.

Gosh! "Okay… I got it… I'll give you anything! I'll do whatever you say! Just help me!!"

He grinned. Then in a flash of light, his foot met the thug's face in a roundhouse kick. The thug immediately dropped with a bloody face. Mimi's eyes weren't fast enough to follow his movements. In a moment, he had knocked each one of them out. He was a skilled fighter. Whoever he was. Mimi was amazed.

He clapped his hands clean. "Hm."

Mimi held her arms together as she stared up at him. He's… he's so strong!

He knelt down on one knee before her. "Did you get injured?" He smiled. "The best way to win against an enemy is to take them when they are unprepared."

Mimi's tear ducts gave way. So he really was going to save me from the very beginning. She hit his chest with her fists and cried. "That's so unfair! You're so mean! Why are you always making fun of me? What did I do…?"

He wrapped his arms around her and smoothed out her hair. "Because I wanted your everything."

Her cheeks turned red. Her trembling fingers clenched onto his shirt tightly. My everything…? What does that mean? Argh… I hate you…

He pulled her close and kissed her passionately. Mimi didn't resist. It was a continuation of the kiss from before.

I really… really hate you… for making me feel like this… right at the first moment I met you. Just who are you…?

Tachikawa Mansion

Father came back home urgently because Mother was extremely worried about me.

Mimi's mother held her as they sat on the couch together. She looked down. The head maid strolled in with a golden cart containing some rose tea. Her father walked in the room and stood over Mimi and her mother.

Mimi's father had brown-colored short cropped hair, light brown eyes, and rosy skin. He had a stern look and with the sharp suit he's wearing, he looked even stricter.

Her mother stroked her long soft curls. "It seems that your father wants to talk to you."

"I heard that you were attacked by a group of misfits. I do not believe in the Royal Academy's students' disposition anymore, so I decided to hire a bodyguard. Just for your own sake."

She looked up. Bodyguard?! Is he trying to take away my freedom even more?!

Mimi's father walked over to the door and opened it. "He is very reliable. Even though he's still young, he was professionally trained in America." He made way for the bodyguard. "Come in, Matt Ishida-kun."

The blond young man stepped in and smiled at Mimi.

She stared at him, a smile spreading across her lips. My god… is he going to be my bodyguard?

He walked before Mimi and bowed formally. "'Nice to meet you', Mistress Mimi. From today onwards, I will be protecting you."

Mimi's eyes widened. Eh…? 'Nice to meet you'? Wait…

He knelt before her and placed a hand over his heart. "In the name of honor and virtue of being a bodyguard, I will protect you from whatever danger." He looked up and stared straight into her eyes with a smile.

Mimi gripped her sides as terror washed over her.

Wait a second… don't tell me… that the only one I'm not supposed to fall in love with… is this guy…?
