Authoress' note: So how do you people think of the plot. Onigiris ruling the world. And yes they wear clothes! Dirty minded people! The nobles wear noble costumes, etc. The humans mainly wear servant clothing. I know not very descriptive, but I'm not a descriptive person.

Chapter Two:

Ritsu, prince of the onigiris, was depressed yet again.

How can I be the rightful prince when I am not even a onigiri?

The king had once hoped for an onigiri descendant to succeed him, however, what he got was a human baby. No matter how many doctors he had hired, they could never figure out why the King had a human son. It wasn't rare to find that it is a human they have for their child; however it was not normal for the King to have a human babe. The advisors blamed it on the mother, who was a royal duchess from another part of the world. So what they did was behead the Queen while the King was away.

This added to Ritsu's guilt. He had indirectly killed her, just because he wasn't born an onigiri. His mother was one. His father the king was one, but he was not. He could never be. Even though he was legitimate, he did not consider himself pure blood.

He just did not understand why he wasn't.

"Prince Ritsu?" A lanky youth came into the room and bowed. He could have been considered as a girl with his beautiful looks and light hair.

"Yes Yuki?"

Yuki Sohma, cousin of Prince Ritsu, Kyo and many others, was not considered royalty. Like Kyo, he was human. Like Kyo, he had to serve others. Their other relatives, who were unfortunate to be born human, were also servants to others. That is the way of life, and forever has been.

"Miss Honda brings news to you from your father, his Majesty."

"Oh. Tohru? Please, let her in."

"Yes, your Highness."

"Thank you Yuki."

"It is my job."

Outside, Tohru waited and wondered how she would tell the prince the news. The king told her to "be careful, he is still very delicate."

"Yes, but he shall become king, he needs to adapt quickly."

To that, the king said nothing.

"Miss Honda?" a voice trailed from the distance.

"Oh it's you Haru." As advisor, she was allowed to call anyone by name.

"How are you today? Fine I hope? Are you here to see the Prince?"

Hatsuharu Sohma, horse hearder of the palace, was a nice addition to the palace. He was marvelously good with handling horses and such. And he had such a nice personality too, when he's white, but we'll save that until later.

"Yes, I am here to see the Prince. I have important news for him." And I do not feel so well....

Then Yuki popped out.

"Ah Miss Honda, his Highness will see you now." They were polite friends, but apart from that they did not talk so much.

"Why thank you Yuki," she turned to Hatsuharu, "I'm sorry but I have to go now. See you later."

"It will be my pleasure." As Tohru went inside, he greeted his cousin.

"Yuki, how have you been?"

"Same as always." Simple as that.

And they had more small talk.

In the Prince's room, Tohru was with the Prince.

"I'm afraid I have grave news to tell you, Your Highness."

End of Chapter...
