ThesnakeIam: Hello! Hi! Welcome to my AU fic of furuba! In this land, Onigiri's rule. They are the lords, nobles, duchesses, kings, etc, while the humans are the lowly servants, they are usually treated like dirt. Only some specific cases had the humans has a situation where humans have higher ranks than that of maid or servant. This story takes place during the reign of King Onigiri the thirtieth. Oh! Also, some of the Sohma characters are onigiris!!!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket, however if I did, I would be so full of happiness and money!

Age of the Onigiri

Chapter One: The Introduction of Tohru Honda

"Where in the world could that dratted girl be?" The king asked to himself. As the thirtieth Onigiri King to rule, he was considered foolish to allow a human servant to be a advisor. Especially that of a female. It was just unheard of.

Humans will rebel against us!!!!

They have no use. Mindless fools. That is how we, the onigiris, were able to come to power....

Your majesty, you would be in grave danger, trusting that, that thing....

But he was loved by many of his people, so they made no riots against that of having a human, not to mention female advisor. Just then, the brunette (a/n: Is her hair brunette? What color is it?) came rushing in one of the King's many libraries.

"I...am...so...sorry...I'm...late...your...Majesty."

Tohru Honda, human servant and advisor to the Onigiri King, the thirtieth, bowed hastily and almost tripped on her gown. As she bowed, she was busy fretting over whether if she should have curtsied than bowed. Since bowing was for males, and the females usually curtsy, but all the advisors of the King were supposed to bow......

"Ah-hem!"

"Oh yes sire?" I'm forgetting about the king again!

"Dear God woman! What is wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry, your Majesty, It appears that I have gotten lost again, but this time I was careful not to feed the stables' horses."

The King sighed heavily. It's been three years since he inherited his throne and through these three years, Advisor Honda was very loyal, but continually clumsy and forgetful and too kindhearted and somewhat naïve... and the list can go on and on.....

But she had good advice. Advice great enough to help him rule his Kingdom.

"As I was in the manner of speaking do you mind if I were to continue?"

"Yes your Majesty, I mean no your Majesty. What I mean to say is: No sire! I do not mind. Please continue with your thought!" She said this very determinedly.

"Well, as I was going to say: I need more advice." The kingdom, doubtless, had problems yet again. "This time, I'm fearing rebellion."

"From the humans, sire?"

"No, I don't believe so, what I am worried about, are my nobles."

She's sure been in there long... I wonder what she is helping the King about today? Almost half a day. Kyo Sohma worried while he waited for Tohru to finish taking to the King. I should really get back to the Kitchen and finish up my work, but I don't want to leave her here. And there she is!

"So what took you so long?"

She shakes her head and smiles. A smile that makes Kyo want to smile with her.

"Oh yeah, and Kyo...Thank you for helping me again today. If it weren't for you I would have been even more late. I can't believe that I still get lost. I feel so stupid."

"Hey, that's okay. You are just more forgetful than others, look at Haru, he still gets lost around the castle, doesn't he?"

"But he's not the King's advisor, I am. The horses would not really care if Haru is late."

"Listen to me, people get lost all the time, it is okay. Nothing is wrong with that. This is a castle."

"I guess you're right. Thank you. I have to be going now. I need give the Prince a message from the King."

"Well, fine. See you around then."

"See you." And she starts walking towards the Prince's Tower.

Read Chapter Two!

End of Chappy one! So how do you ppl like it. And no! Yuki is not the Prince! For then he would have to be an onigiri. But the Prince is not an onigiri. And yes! Haru has a job as a stable manager, because he is good with horses, or he would have been an ordinary palace servant. He deals with horses, Horses. It has something to do with Rin later on...The cast of Furuba will be in this, well the main characters that is, except Kyoko, Hana, and Arisa. I'm sorry I can't fit them in... but maybe I can.

Next Chapter: Meet Yuki, Tohru's other friend in the palace.

Oh yes, did I mention that this story had no pairings except Haru and Rin? I just cannot chose between Kyo and Yuki. Gomenai. bows

Review and TTFN!
