Hey again! I know I just started, but this is my second fic!

Hope you like it! It is updated, thanks to the readers!

Chapter 1: The letter

Summary: Ren is the prince of China. Pirika is the princess of Japan. What happens between these warring countries when the two meet for the first time? Lol! Chaos, I tell you! And the gates of hell are opened! Please R & R!

Important Noting:

Everyone are still shamans, except the only characters that shows are Ren, Pirika, Horohoro, Tamao, Jun, Lee Pilong, and Hao! Ren is the soon-to-be Shaman King. But Hao wants the crown, too! (Leave it to Hao to mess up perfect timings) And Pailong is alive!

Freaky-Anime-Maniac: I just love these pairings too much.

Ren: Well, you don't have to go this far!

Freaky-Anime-Maniac: La la la...I don't hear anything...anyway, on with the chapter. And I tell you, I don't own anything from Shaman King!

Start of Chapter

In the castle of Japan...

A young, 16 year old azure haired girl sat up in her royal bed, yawning quietly to herself.

"What time is it...?" she asked to herself drowsily.

The window of her room was half opened, revealing the morning sun that shone brightly.

A nice breeze came in, blowing her beautiful silky hair to her face.

She scanned the room slowly, trying to adjust her aqua eyes.

A woman in a maid's dress stepped in the large room after a polite knock.

She bowed to the girl.

"Pirika-sama," she said in a kind tone. "Horohoro-sama asks you to be in the royal dining table for breakfast after you get ready."

Pirika slightly nodded.

"I will be there as soon as possible," she replied. "Please tell him to wait for a few minutes."

The woman bowed and responded, "Right away."

Then she left, slowly closing the door quietly.

Pirika got up from bed and walked into her bathroom.

After washing up, she quickly slipped on a knee-length pink dress with black linings.

Then she walked downstairs, not to keep her brother waiting.

"Oniichan, thank you for waiting," Pirika called to him. She walked into the royal dining room and greeted the king of Japan, which was her Ainu brother, Horohoro, and the queen of Japan, which was Tamao.

Pirika bowed to Tamao, and Tamao bowed back.

"Tamao-sama, ohayo."

"Ohayo, Pirika-sama."

After eating breakfast, Horohoro came up to Pirika at the Great Hall in the large castle.

"Pirika, can I speak to you?"

"Sure, Oniichan." she replied casually. "What is it that you need?"

"Well, I'm thinking that I want to retire as king for the time being." he told Pirika softly.

"Nani?" Pirika asked, shocked. "Aren't you and Tamao-sama doing pretty well?"

"Well...yeah..." Horohoro said, glancing slightly away. "But, Tamao-chan is only 15. I'm not sure if she's that ready to take over the throne with me. We did just became king and queen a few days ago. And to be king and queen, you have to get married, right? Tamao's still too young to marry, though."

She nodded. "I understand completely, Oniichan. So you want me to get married and become queen in place of you and Tamao-sama?"

"Nani?" Horohoro asked, shocked at the question. "Well, you're still young, too, but if it can work out with someone caring and who can loves you, I guess. And someone who's nice. And–"

"Okay, I get it," Pirika said, kind of paranoid at the type he wants her to marry. "I'm still too young, I guess you're right..."

She bowed to him and silently left without a word before he can reply.

When Pirika came back to her room, a maid stood in front of the door, patiently waiting.

"Pirika-sama, there is a letter from China."

"From China?" Pirika asked curiously. "You mean the country we've been warring with all year?"

The woman nodded and handed her the letter, then she left after a polite bow.

"I wonder if they want another war or something...?" Pirika asked aloud to herself as she sat down on her royal bed. "It says it is from the queen of China..."

She slowly opened the letter and read it aloud.

"Dear princess of Japan,

I am the queen of China, Tao Jun. As warring countries, we shouldn't really talk much or visit...but I would like to make a request. I was hoping that you and the king and queen of Japan would come and visit us, to discuss matters of ceasing the war. I think my brother, Tao Ren, would be pleased. I also sent a letter to the king and queen of Japan, whom I know is your brother and sister-in-law. Please accept this request; I am looking forward into meeting you. Thank you for reading this letter.

Queen of China, or if you prefer,

Tao Jun"

Pirika folded up the letter, thinking about what this Tao Jun had said.

She went to talk to her elder brother about it in the royal living room.

"So you decided that we're going to go to China?" Pirika asked Horohoro. "To have a talk about the war?"

"Yeah," Horohoro, who was sitting next to Tamao on the couch, said. "I don't really like the idea, but this Tao Jun seems like a nice woman."

Pirika nodded. "She does, doesn't she?"

As Pirika was walking to her royal bedroom, she read the letter over and over again to herself.

Who was this Tao Ren?

That was what she was wondering.

'I mean, I know that he is Tao Jun's brother...but how does he act like? How old is he?'

There were many things Pirika wanted to know about the boy.

In the castle of China...

There was a boy with dark purplish colored hair working out in his large private gym, which had a lot of exercising machines. He wore oriental Chinese clothing with golden linings, but did not have his shirt on while he was working out.

He stopped to wipe the sweat off his forehead a little.

His cold, deep, golden eyes turned into a sudden glare.

"Where's my milk!" the boy yelled loudly. "Quick, I am thirsty!"

"We apologize, Ren-sama!" Two women in a maid's outfit, cried out in panic at the same time as they ran in the gym, holding a metal plate with three filled glasses of milk each.

"Ren..." a soft voice called out to the boy.

Ren turned his glare to the door, where a green haired woman holding an oriental fan stood.

"Yes, Jun?" he asked, sounding annoyed. "What is it now?"

"Well, we are preparing to have some visitors from Japan in a few days." Jun replied calmly. "Pailong and I will be meeting the king and queen of Japan. And you will be with us on the meet."

"What!" Ren exclaimed. "Why do I have to meet them? Can't I just sit in my royal bedroom for the time being? Or at least have a replacement for myself! It's not all that special."

"Ren," Jun said quietly. "Horohoro, the king of Japan, has a little sister. Maybe you and her will be good friends."

"PAH!" Ren quickly yelled out. "I do not make friends!"

"Then at least get ready," Jun told her brother before walking out of his private gym.

"Hmph. I will, dear sister."
