The tale of the Chinese Zodiac…
…and a Rice Ball…
The meeting of the Princess and the Prince
The carriage bounced making everything inside shake.
"Sorry Princess, The road will be getting rougher from here on." A boy called from outside showing the utmost respect. The princess, a brown haired beauty, looked around nervously at her two attendants, a blonde rough girl and a calm eerie girl wearing mostly black.
"It's okay Tohru; I hear the prince is a real looker." The Blonde hair girl comforted the princess after seeing the nervousness in her eyes.
"Yes," the dark one said, now, "And if he doesn't like you I'll have to do things…many things…" She mumbled under her breath.
"Th-Thank you Uo-chan, Hana-chan." The princess smiled not wanting to upset her friends. With nothing else to do in the ride, Princess Toru had been studying the carriage they were in. Lavender silk decorated the interior of the carriage covering the window and adding color to the white cushioned seats. There was plenty of space in the carriage, that she was thankful for. Outside there were at least twenty horses ridden by fine soldiers ready to take anyone's life who posed a threat to their angelic princess.
"Tohru are you all right?" the dark haired beauty asked her, "getting married is an awfully big occasions, are you scared?"
"N-no! If I marry the prince of the next kingdom then there will be peace between our two kingdoms!" The innocent girl said trying to convince her friend not to worry about her. "I'm the luckiest girl in the world! I get to bring peace to my kingdom!"
The gothic bishoujo still wasn't convinced. But knowing that asking more questions would continue to distress her princess, she settled for laying one of her hands on Tohru's shoulder.
The princess looked down at her hands too nervous to look anywhere else. Then she noticed something… the ring she always wore on her middle finger. It was silver with gold letters engraved on it. The letters spelt something foreign so Tohru didn't know what it said but she cherished the ring despite that. For it was her only momentum of her mother who had passed away just a month ago.
A thin smiled crept onto the Princess's face as she remembered her mother, Queen Kyoko, and how her optimism had always saved her in dark times. She remembered that her mother hadn't been a royal when she married Katsuya, her father, but had been a thief, and one of the best. Kyoko was often referred to as the red butterfly in those days because of the red cape she wore when she was in the middle of one of her great and legendary schemes. However, Tohru's mom had fallen in love with the prince and overcame many obstacles to be with prince Katsuya.
"Right, just like mom was strong I have to be strong too. I can do this!" The princess mumbled to herself in a barely audible voice. Her two attendant looked at each other with a smile agreeing that their princess had full hopes yet again.
The prince, Yuki, stared out his window thinking of the day to come. Today was the day that he met his betrothed, a princess from a neighboring land. I hope she's not like one of my fans…. The prince sighed as he got up from his seat to comb his gray hair which outlined his face perfectly like a frame. His grayish purple eyes were big and had long beautiful lashes giving him a girlish complex.
After taking all the knots out of his gorgeous hair the teen took a crown out of one of his many drawers. He placed it on his head further extending his beauty. The sight could have made one mad.
"Ummm… excuse me your highness the carriage has arrived." A certain little boy said peeping his head into the room.
"I'll be down in a minute, Hiro." Yuki answered. Hiro left the room closing the door as he left. Yuki sighed. This is it. The women I'll spend the rest of my life with…
Quick as a mouse, Yuki dashed out of the room to go welcome his fiancée. He walked down the countless steps until he reached a huge room. There was a red carpet leading up to one, very huge, throne. There was also another throne next to it. Smaller but still big. That was Yuki's seat the other one was…the king's.
Yuki shuddered as he thought of the king. King Akito…
"Yuki-sama, please take a seat." Hiro said to Yuki. Seriously, don't just stand there like a stupid little kid…
"Y-yeah." Yuki said as he made his way to his throne. Once he was seated the ceremony began.
"Now presenting the princess of our neighboring country, Lyriaher highness, Princess Tohru O. Honda."
The huge golden doors at the front opened revealing… an angel. The girl standing there was plain, yes, but something about her was…special. The girl walked up the red carpet, her brown hair swaying all of the way. She was followed by two other girls. One was a blonde wearing an oh too real deathly glare followed by an expressionless person wearing almost all black.
The three girls stopped in the middle of the room. The brown haired angel bowed toward Yuki.
"Nice to make your acquaintance Prince Yuki Sohma. I am Tohru Honda; I look forward to your company." Yuki couldn't speak. He was just too mesmerized by this woman to say a thing. "Prince… Yuki…?" The girl questioned confused, "Ummm…"
"Yuki-sama" Hiro nudged Yuki with his elbow bringing him back to his senses.
"Y-Yes, welcome to Avalon Tohru Honda. I-I'm Yuki R. Sohma. Nice to make your acquaintance." The bishounen got out of his seat to walk to his future bride.
They looked at each other in a strange silence. Then, swift as a fox and as gently as a leaf, the prince bowed to his princess and cupped her hand into his.
"I look forward to our time together." He said as he kissed her delicate hand. This made the princess turn a deep shade of red.
"A-Ummm… th-the pleasure is all mine." The brown haired beauty squeaked unable to breath because of the unfamiliar treatment.
Instantly the princess's two attendants pulled her away from the princess's clutches.
"Sorry, she was about to trip." Arisa spat wearing a deathly glare on her face.
"Yes…" Saki agreed showing a slight bit of anger.
The prince took the hint. He leapt off the ground as swiftly as he had gone down and turned toward his attendant, Hiro.
"Hiro, let's show them around." Yuki called.
"Yeah," the boy agreed running to his prince. What the heck? That stupid lookin' woman is a princess?
"Please come this way." The prince walked with Tohru and her two attendants along with his own attendant to the door he had used to enter the enormous throne room.
"Hey, hold it." The Blonde girl shot Yuki a nasty glare. "Our princess has been stuck in that freakin' carriage for who knows how long and now you're expecting her to walk?" The girl spat at Yuki.
"Ah!" Yuki hadn't thought of it like that, the girl must surely be exhausted from her long journey from her palace. And coming into a strange land with only two attendants… "I-"
"How preposterous… "The blank beauty said before Yuki could apologize.
"Ah… Um...I-It's alright I hardly feel tired!" The princess said trying to save Prince Yuki from her two overprotective attendants.
"Aw, Tohru don't be like that…" The blonde said with a she-is-so-cute look on her face.
"I'm sorry Princess." Yuki said trying to calm down her two friends. "I'll show you to you're room right now!"
"Um…Okay thank you…" Tohru said putting her head down as if asking for a rest was a crime.
"They walked slowly up the stairs passing door after door until finally they came to a larger door decorated with roses and carvings. Hiro opened the room with one of his many keys allowing the royals to enter.
However, before Hiro could even insert the key into the key hole there was laughter coming from seemingly nowhere. Then suddenly with a rush of smoke a man appeared.
"Hello my beautiful rose." The man said looking at Tohru. The princess blushed madly at the remark. The man threw his long white hair off his face. "My, what a shy little kitten."
"W-Who the heck is this guy?!" Uotani yelled at Yuki both angry and surprised.
"Well-"Yuki started clearly embarrassed for this man.
"Mon Frere!!!!" the man said throwing himself on the Prince. Now that the two were so close together. The rest of them could clearly see the amazing resemblance between the two boys. "My beautiful brother you've finally met your rose."
"BROTHER!!" The three girls asked with shock.
The boy clung onto Yuki refusing to let go. "This is Ayame S. Sohma. And, yes, he is my older brother." The girls looked at each other clearly surprised. I didn't know the prince had a brother…
The white haired beauty pushed his face close to the prince's ear. "Yuki, have you told her about that?" The prince grew a bright shade of red. "Oh my, you haven't told her yet?!" Ayame gasped as he let go of his beloved brother. "What will happen when you… and then…"
"S-Shut up!!" Yuki yelled completely losing his elegance.
Ignoring Yuki's sudden outburst, Ayame walked to where the princess stood, confusion painted on her face. When he was about an arm's distance from her, he bowed low letting his white silvery hair fall to the ground.
"It's nice to meet you princess." The adult got up and lifted his hand to Tohru's face making her face turn red. He glided his hand through the girl's hair and let go of all but one of the brunette strands. "You're a very cute one indeed." Ayame raised the lock of hair to his lips. He kissed it gently and let the hair fall out of his hand. He smiled at her.
"What the heck did ya do that for?!" Uo stepped in front of her friend shielding her blushing face from the white haired adult.
"Sorry, sorry!" Ayame hurried off before he was beaten by the rough blonde girl. "Farewell, Yuki, my little brother!!! Worry not, for I will return to embrace you once again!!!!"
Yuki shook his head with embarrassment, "I'm sorry Honda-sama; he's a little… eccentric." Tohru nodded looking over her friends shoulder and trying not to let Yuki see her bright red face. What a strange person…
After meeting Ayame, Tohru Honda was even more nervous of living in the Sohma's palace. Are there a lot of people in the Sohma family who are like…that? What if I don't fit in? She shook her head. No! I can't think like that! I'll do this!
"Well, we can continue into your room now that that bit of unpleasant trash is out of the way." Yuki started interrupting the girl's thoughts. "Oh, yeah! You two will need keys to all the rooms." He looked at Uo and Hana.
"Now that you mention it… yeah" Arisa agreed.
"You're very responsible." Saki noted.
"Then, Hiro, please take the two to get keys."
"Yeah, sure." Hiro answered turning around. Sheesh, asking a kid to do all your errands for you… and you call yourself an adult!
Tohru gulped. Now she didn't have her two friends with her. The fact made her nervous.
"Well, please go in." Yuki said in his soft gentle voice as he opened the enormous door. The girl went inside and the boy followed. When she did, she was amazed.
The bed was huge, maybe big enough for five people. The covers were a light shad of pink which contrasted perfectly with the magenta curtains. The pillows had frills framing them giving a slight angelic look to the sight. There seemed to be enough gold in this one room to last a common family a life time. Just how rich is the Sohma family?
"I'm sorry. It's a little stuffy in here." Yuki walked toward the window and unlatched the hook opening and releasing a fresh gush of air into the room. "Just leave the door open for awhile."
As he said this, a small piece of stone fell from the ceiling. Tohru backed away. I have a bad feeling about this…. Then a few more blocks fell. Then the whole thing crumbled.
"Ah" The princess whispered as she fell to the floor. The brunette watched in surprise as a giant whole was made on the roof of her new room. She watched the rocks fall to the floor scattering dust all over the room. Then something fell down that was not a rock. It looked more… human.
The royals waited for the dust to clear; the prince on the furthest end of the room and the princess at the front. They both faced the cloud of dust that was slowly waning.
The dust fell, unveiling short orange hair. What a peculiar hair color…
