Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, there lived a king. He was the king of the kingdom of the High Humans, humans gifted with animal attributes and special abilities credited to the beasts on Old Earth. The king was without a queen. This king did not want a queen. He wanted children. This king took a wife regardless. The only way this king was going to be able to have children was if he had a queen. He kept his queen hidden from view from the kingdom, claiming that she was very delicate and was sensitive to sunlight. The kingdom believed him.

Soon the king had a child. The child was not born to his wife, but taken from another family. The kingdom did not know it. They accepted this child as the new prince and heir to the throne.

Then, a year later, another child.

And another.

Within seven years, the king had a total of five male heirs, none of them being his. Then the king heard of some news that the king and queen of the Angel Kingdom had a son. He "produced" one more offspring- a girl. This girl was to be his tool. This girl he would propose to marry to the prince of the Angel Kingdom. But he selected a baby that began to develop a slight deformity that caused her to be less than beautiful. The king did not love this child. It could not be his own if it wasn't perfect like he was.

Once he had disposed of the old child, he found a new little girl that looked similar to he. He mercifully kept the name her birthparents granted her…Ichigo. This girl would be the one to unite the kingdoms of the Angels and the Humans. Then, once the armies were united under the bonds of marriage, they would move to defeat the Demon Kingdom.

What the human king did not know was that the king of demons also had a son…
