The Chronicles of The Ice Prince Chapter 1: The Meeting, a samurai deeper kyo fanfic

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in Samurai Deeper Kyo, but I do own Kage Kamikatana.

Summary: The story of Akira and how he became a peasant. Akira was nothing, but a weakling with a harsh past and fiery temper. Angry that he was left alone when his village was destroyed, he crosses paths with Demon Eyes Kyo who he fights because of his anger.

A/N: I hope you enjoy this story. Sorry if I something is a little off in here. I'm kind of new in writing fanfiction in this category. Akira is a little off-character, but it's only temporary…I promise. He's young, and his character will develop in this story. Can someone tell me who Lord Torii is or just tell me if that's the body Oda Nobunaga had in his fight with Kyo while they were trying to get his body? If it's not the same body, then I'll change this first chapter around a bit, unless you guys like it the way it is. I don't know what Akira's true eye color is, so I guessed it was blue. If you know what's his true eye color is, tell me please? Please Review and tell me what you think.

The Chronicles of The Ice Prince:

Chapter One: The Meeting:

He hurriedly poured the bowl of water over his pale blonde hair as he leaned over in the water of the hot springs to wash his hair. The sound of crickets in the night almost soothed him. He hated being rushed, but sooner or later his father would be calling him to meet his new master. Their family was poor, and he and his father were the family they had left.

That was until his father got sick…

He didn't want to leave his only son alone in the world, so he thought selling him off as merchandise was even better. The blonde boy was no older than eight or nine took the special care in mixing his special smelling herbs with the water he had gathered back in the bowl. He began churning the herbs in the water with a stick, making sure the herbs dissolved into the liquid before he poured it on his head.

He was glad to have finally taken a warm bath, even though he knew it was a very special occasion. Once he thought that he was bathed all over enough, he got out of the hot springs and grabbed his towel, drying himself His back was turned to his shack of a house that he had lived in for years.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk…you're going to be my new brother?", he heard a cruel boyish voice behind him.

The blonde boy instantly turned around to see who it was behind him. His azure eyes caught sparkling red eyes that burned with utter cruelness. The blonde was frozen in complete shock at the other boy's beauty. He had long silver hair that was put in a high ponytail on the top of his head, and it fell around three inches down his back.

He wore a black silk kimono with red dragon drawings in them, making him really look like royalty. On his pretty, youthful face was a cruel smirk that sent shivers up and down the blonde's spine. The blonde quickly covered his family heirloom with the towel, shaking off the red blush that was coming to his cheeks.

"W-Who are you?", he managed enough courage to say.

"You are Akira Jakidenki, aren't you?", the silver-haired boy asked, smiling at the boy.

"Y-yes", the blonde foolishly stuttered as the older boy stood before him.

"The name's Kage Kamikatana. Your stepbrother…father and I have just arrived, so don't worry about being late. My father is one of the patient types. You smell…remarkably…good…for a poor boy", the silver-haired boy said as he gave the blonde a quick kiss on his cheek, then left the younger boy in utter shock.

His stepbrother…had just…kissed him?

It was only a family kiss on the cheek right?

He shook off the thought and quickly ran to the nearby tree to grab his clothing for dinner. It was a dashing, expensive looking, blue and red kimono with black dragon drawings that matched Kage's drawings. Did they buy him this?

He didn't have time to think. He quickly put the clothing on, making sure he didn't rip anything during his rush to put them on. They fit on him pretty good, and it was pretty loose on him too. He quickly put on his wooden shoes and hurried inside of his home in the back entrance.

He ran down the hall, only to run into a very worried old man with long gray hair. He had been pacing down the hallway for awhile now. The blonde bumped right into the man accidentally in his race down the hall to the dinning room. He fell backwards and landed on his butt. His scrawny body hurting slightly because of the fall. The man turned around and let out a shocked gasped.

"Akira! Boy, what took you so long! I could've had a heart attack from waiting on you to get finished", his father said as he pulled the blonde on his feet and dusted him off. "Get in there, and don't screw this one up, Akira".

Akira nodded and walked into the dinning room as gracefully as he could. As soon as he walked into the lit room, he felt eyes glued onto him instantly. He kept his eyes forward because he knew a pair of taunting red eyes would be waiting for him if he had took a look over there.

The blonde youth presented himself before Kage first who was kneeled down on the mat, smiling at the blonde inwardly. Beside him was his father, a man with long blonde hair that was in the same style as his son.

He had a blank look on his face as his blue eyes fell on Akira. The blonde's hair covered his face from Kage, and the silver-haired boy knew he was hiding his face because of the event earlier.

"Young Akira Jakidenki, why do you hide your face from us?", Kage asked.

"That's a good question, my son", his father agreed.

"It is because he's a shy boy, Lord Torii and young Lord Kage", Akira's father as he entered and bowed at the men.

Akira almost hissed at being called shy. He just didn't want to show his face to Kage, and that was it. But why did he not want to show his face to Kage? He's going to have to some day. Did he already feel something for the older boy? No…it couldn't be. He wasn't…gay.

He bowed at Lord Torii before taking a seat beside his father. There were bowls in front of each male as were there lit candles. The room fell silent, and Kage, the silver-haired youth, looked up at Akira who was fixed on staring at the candle.

"Do you have any talents, Akira-kun?", Lord Torii asked.

"Um…", the blonde began. "I'm great with a sword".

"Really, are you?", Kage blurted out.

"Prince Kage, here, is also great with a sword. You and him can train in the training dojo whenever you guys like", Lord Torii said.

"That sounds great, Lord Torii", Akira said, unsure if he meant it or not.

"So you accept the boy, Lord Torii?", his father asked.

"Jakidenki…I believe your boy will prove of use to me…and my son. He'll leave tonight…if that is alright with you. How about ", Lord Torii answered.

"That is alright with me", his father answered with a slight sadness in his voice. "We'll have him packed and ready in a minute, milord".

Akira's father stood up, lifting Akira to his feet as well. The whole time Kage's red eyes were glued on Akira, and the blonde did everything in his power to not to look into those haunting eyes.

As he and his father walked in the hall, there was a strange tension between them. He couldn't believe that he going to be separated from his father who was going to die real soon.

Why did he need the money he was getting from Lord Torii from if he was going to die? When they entered his room, they began packing the little clothes he had in the broken-down cotton bag his father had pulled from under his bed.

After the last of it was inside the bag, he gave his father a very sad look. His father instantly began coughing. It lasted for a few minutes, and he covered his mouth with his own clothes, until it wore off. Both he and his son saw a few drops of blood stained on his white haori, receiving a worried gasp from his son.

"Father-", Akira began, but his father stopped him from going on.

"Don't worry about, Akira. Just go with Lord Torii and live a better life", his father said.

"What's the money for, father?", he asked.

"It's for sake…to ease my passing", his father answered.

"Oh…", Akira said sadly as he looked at the door, meeting the red eyes of Kage who was standing at the door, staring at them intently. "Kage…".

"I came to tell you that you won't have to packed your clothes, but I guess I'm too late", Kage said as he took forward to Akira, extending his arm. "Come…Father's waiting".

Akira nodded and turned to look back at his father. He clenched his eyes, feeling a wave of emotions flood through him. His father gave him a approving nod before looking over at a blank-faced Kage.

"Take of him…", his father said to the silver-haired boy who gave him a curt nod in return.

Akira scoffed, not knowing where that came from. He took Kage's hand, and he soon as he did the young prince dragged him down the hall and out of the shack that he called home. Outside, the pale blonde noticed that Lord Torii was already mounted on a beautiful white stallion. Kage led him over to a black horse.

"This is your horse. Our castle is a little ways from here…around a mile or so", Kage explained as he walked away to his brown horse.

"We could've just walked", Akira stated as he mounted the horse just as Kage did.

"Hm…", was all Kage said.

The two boys took off after their father, leading on to Akira's new life. The blonde didn't know what was in store for him, but he sensed something wasn't right. He was going to see what it was first though just out of curiosity. Curiosity killed the cat.

A/N: Please review. Akira gets sold off to the lord of the lands. What will happen? Will he get along with Kage? Kage seems to be the non-trusting type. What will he do to our little Akira? Find out in the next chapter. Like I said I don't know who Lord Torii is so I'm making a lord to the land and village Akira lived in. I would still liked to know if Lord Torii's body is the same body Oda Nobunaga took over and fought Kyo with when Kyo and others were looking for his body. Oh, and sorry the chapter was so short. If your review, I'll make it longer…I promise.
