Prologue
"Itachi-sama, Your Majesty has ordered you to come to the Throne Room right away." A servant informed Itachi.
"Thank you. I will be there right away."
He went to the Throne Room right away after the servant informed him. There, his brother and his parents are waiting for his arrival.
"I'm here, Father." He said bowing to his father.
"Ah, you came. Please take a seat, our guest hasn't come yet." King Fugaku responded to Itachi's greeting.
"Okay."
------------
After a few minutes, the door opened revealing a guard and a pink haired woman behind him. The guard moved aside and the lady proceeded to the room, walking towards the King and bowed respectfully.
"I am Haruno Sakura, and I come here as Your Highness have ordered."
"Ah, Miss Haruno, I see you have arrived. Alright then, I summoned you because I wanted to tell you that I want you to be my son's fiancée candidate."
'WHAT!' Sakura thought at that moment. Luckily, Sakura still managed to keep her composure, thankfully not bursting out screaming in shock.
'Haruno… Sakura? Seems like a name I know.' Itachi thought.
"But first, do you have any complains, Haruno-san?"
"Uh… um, I just barely know him, I can't accept it just like that, Your Highness."
Itachi looked at her with confused eyes, and so does his father. "Really, Haruno-san? I thought we had met before?" Itachi interrupted.
Sakura looked at him questioningly. 'He… looks familiar, but I can't remember… who… is he?'
"I… I don't know…" She said, flashes of old memories starting to appear inside her mind, causing her head to hurt.
"If so, alright then, but I hope you will accept my invitation to join the selection."
Sakura stared at Itachi's eyes again with curiosity. Wanting to find out what he's talking about he and her knew each other before this; she nodded and said, "I accept."
"Alright then, you shall prepare for the selection which is two weeks from now. The guards will pick you up at your house and drop you at our villa, so be prepared at six thirty on the day."
"Alright, Your Highness."
------------
Two weeks from now…Sakura's alarm rang, and she shut it with her hand feeling annoyed with the constant ringing. Her current alarm is her fifth alarm clock, thanks to her pretty short temper.
"Aww… I hate waking up early…" she mumbled as she walked to her wardrobe to pick a pair of clothes for today. She picked a pink tank top and jeans before washing herself in a cold shower.
After she finished bathing, she went downstairs and found her mother cooking breakfast for her, while her father is still sleeping soundly.
"Good morning dear." Her mother, Kaori greeted her happily.
"Good morning mother." She replied with a sleepy voice.
"Ah, you were never an early person, weren't you? Just like your father." Kaori giggled.
"Yeah…" she said.
"Here's your breakfast darling." Kaori gave her daughter a plate of omelet rice.
"Thanks mom." She smiled, though still with a sleepy face. Omelet rice was always her favorite menu, for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
---
After breakfast, she saw two guards clad in black formal suit waiting outside her house gate. Her mum bid her a goodbye before she entered the luxurious limousine to go to the Uchiha villa.
Arriving there she saw two girls sitting in the terrace, waiting for the other girls to arrive. As soon as Sakura walked towards the terrace, one of the girls greeted her with an open hand.
"You're one of the participants too, right? Nice to meet you, I'm Hanagata Rika!"
"Thanks, nice to meet you too. I'm Haruno Sakura." The pink-haired smiled and answered her greeting happily.
Sakura approached the other girl and offered her hand. "I'm Haruno Sakura! What's your name?"
"My name's Satsuma Rinka. Nice to meet you." She offered her hand back to Sakura's. "Nice to meet you too, Rinka-chan!" She smiled happily.
Shortly after that the other two participants arrives at the Uchiha villa.
'Huh? That girl, isn't it the crybaby pink-haired Sakura?' Sakiko thought. 'She doesn't recognize me, so I suppose she's still amnesiac.' She grinned.
They were instructed to go to the auditorium immediately because there will be an announcement from the hosts, and also to introduce oneself to the others.
---
Meanwhile, the hosts…
"Ji-Rai-Ya…" The only female host, Tsunade said in a whisper, because she's too mad, threatening her host, friend and comrade with her superhuman punch.
"Wow TonTon! You are so cute when you're like a ball!" Jiraiya, one of the three hosts said, rolling Tsunade's pet pig into a ball, after tying the pig's body with a rope.
"Buuhh…" The pig growled in displeasure from the treatment Jiraiya gave her.
"Jiraiya, I'd advice you to stop, unless you want to feel such unexpected experience." Orochimaru, the other host said.
"What unexpected experience?" He asked innocently, still rolling the pig.
"Buuuuhhh!!!" The pig growled in anger.
POP (Tsunade's vein)
"HAAAH!" Tsunade shouted, punching the white-haired host vertically into the azure sky.
"WAAAAAAAAH… MY CHEEKBONES!"
Orochimaru just sighed. TonTon immediately jumped into Tsunade's hands, and then the door opened revealing the newly arrived selection contestants.
"Ahem, so the contestants are all here already. First, I would like to introduce myself. I am Tsunade, one of the hosts here. To my left is Orochimaru, and the other host, who is most likely to fall down this very second…"
And then Jiraiya met the stage ground face first.
"Is Jiraiya."
"Oww… Tsu-na-de… you… hit… me… too… hard…" He stuttered, not being able to speak properly due to his direct hit on the face.
"Now, I would like all of you to tell me your names."
"The first one is you, the farthest left, and then the second is to your right, and so until the farthest right."
"My name is Haruno Sakura."
"My name is Hanagata Rika."
"My name is Satsuma Rinka."
"My name is Shirou Mitsuru."
"My name is Hatsune Sakiko."
"Okay then, I will tell you your room numbers, and you may go straight there to unpack your belongings."
The participants nodded in understanding.
"Sakura, you get room number two. Rika, you get room number three, next to Sakura's. Rinka, you get room number four. Mitsuru, you get room number five, next to Rinka's, and lastly, Sakiko, you get room number six."
"Orochimaru and me will guide all of you to your rooms, since the host here, who just arrived after a trip to the sky cannot even walk properly." She said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
"Dismiss!"
"Wait… for… meee…" Jiraiya said hopelessly, reaching his hand to reach them, but fainted again.
---
"Room number one until three is this way, while room number four until six is here." Tsunade said.
"Wait, who's inhabiting room number one?" Sakiko asked.
"Itachi-san."
Sakiko was pretty shocked at that, and stared jealously at Sakura. After a little jealous stare on her back, she turned to walk towards her room.
---
Itachi arrived pretty late, after a little briefing from his parents. The briefing wasn't really important though, but at least he knows the schedule from that.
Tsunade and Orochimaru were walking back towards the auditorium to pick up their fainted friend and met the crown prince on the way.
"Welcome, Itachi-san. Your things are already delivered to your room." Tsunade greeted him.
"Aa. Thanks." He said before walking to his room.

Rewritten, because I think I make too many plot holes. I often change my mind about the plot of the story --" Have to break that habit '
