Well, another day another fanfic! I really hope you like this one guys, I really like the storyline at the moment, so it gave me inspiration to write! Please read and review to tell me how you think its going. It's set in a parallel universe, so they are very out of character! It's going to be short this first chapter so yeah…

Chapter one: Meeting you

Staring out his window, Prince Takao Kinomiya watched his servants scurry about the courtyard. Life for him was boring, his deep blue eyes not holding the childhood happiness that it should. He was six years of age, a child in grownup shoes. All the other servant boys around his age where happily playing in the gardens, their laughter reaching the ears of the young prince. How he wished he could join them…to be carefree just like them.

Pouting, Takao turned to his father and frowned. "Daddy…please! Can I go outside and play with the others?" His father beamed at his vocabulary, then frowned at his request. "Now, now Kao…you have studying to do! How are you going to be a good king with no education? Don't you want to be a good king for your people?" Takao let his shoulders slump as he stared at the floor unhappily. His father knew very well that the young prince's heart was setting on being a great king for his people. Doragon was his father's kingdom and in twelve years, it was going to be his.

Biting back a pout, the young prince nodded. "Yes sir, please excuse my outburst" with that he excused himself and fled to his room. Shutting the door, the young prince flung himself onto the bed and began to sob. How he wished he was not born a prince, then he would be just like all the other kids. Sobbing quietly into his pillow, the young prince reflected on what his father said. "Now Kao, we've been through this many times. You have been born a prince, and they are servants. If you play with them it would be bad for our family. You are far more superior then they will ever be" Shaking his head, the young prince sunk into despair. He did not see the difference between his servants and himself. He just had nicer clothes and never worked hard in the fields. What was so different about them? They where certainly a lot happier then he was.

Crying harder, the prince's heartfelt sob was heard by a slightly older servant boy in the little room connected to his. Crimson eyes widening at the sound, he silently watched the young prince sob into the pillow quietly. He had seen the younger prince cry many times before, but each time it happened, the more heartbreaking it became. Shaking himself out of the trance, he realised his presence would be missed and that he had to get back to servant quarters quickly. Stepping lightly across the deeply polished floors, he reached for the handle before he heard the prince cry again. Feeling his heart break in two, he sighed and glanced at the shaking boy. Sighing, he walked quietly over to the boy and reached out a shaking hand. At contact, the young prince jumped in surprise and fell to the floor rather painfully.

Eyes widening, the slightly older servant dropped to his knees and bowed. "Forgive me your highness! I did not mean to startle you!" he gushed, praying that the prince remembered his families services to theirs for centuries. Kai was born in this household. As was his father, and his grandpa. Their family had been their loyal servants for centuries. The servant had never met the prince face to face before, but he had heard from other servants that cared for him that he was an intelligent, compassionate young man, that would some day be a great king. He prayed that they where right as he stared at the marble surface nervously.

The curious young prince tilted his head cutely, his dark navy hair falling over his shoulders. He quietly observed him as the servant went on. "Please forgive me your majesty! It won't happen again! I was just worried when I heard you crying…and I…well…wanted to help…" deep blue eyes widening at the older mans confession, he watched as the servant stole a glance at him then regained his position staring at the ground. A smile reaching the prince's lips, he glanced at the boy curiously. "How old are you?" he asked, the young man bowing lower. "Eight sire" he replied, making Takao grin. "sit up so that I can see your face" sitting up quickly, he glanced to the side avoiding the young mans gaze. Tilting his head to the other side, the prince ran a hand through the servant's hair. "You have such strange hair" he commented, earning a blush from the servant.

Before he could answer, the prince chuckled as let his hand return to his lap. "I like it, its better then my boring hair" the servants eyes widened as he glanced at the grinning prince. Sticking out his hand, the prince grin widened as the boy shook it. "I'm Takao Kinomiya" he stated, earning a small smile from the servant. "Kai Hiwitari your highness, it's a pleasure to meet you" Takao chuckled as he let his hand go. "I should hope that we will become friends Kai, you can call me Takao. No need for the formalities!" Kai nodded as he tried to register the information. His family would never believe this. "Will you be my friend?" the young prince asked hopefully, a smile finding its way to the older mans lips. "Sure…p-Takao…"
