My Sweet Dark Lady

After a tiring day of school, homework, housework, and lady-lessons, Sunako just wants to escape. But what if her prayer is heard by the Goblin King and she ends up in a time more befitting to her and, not just that, will finally become a lady? What if it's all because of Love at First Sight?

Godchild/Wallflower(/Labyrinth) x-over Sunako x Cain

Warning: OOC and...it's called "love at first sight" for a reason.

Prologue

Sunako collapsed on her bed, tears streaming down her face.

This day had been not one she would have liked. First school wasn't going to well—well, it was, but she had math today and that was never fun. And it was worse today.

It would only get worse from there: her homework was too intense—Sunako wondered if her math teacher was out to get her!

Then she had to clean the house—that wasn't too bad, but the boys had really messed up the places that were usually kept clean.

Then, of course, they had to make her do their lady training thing afterwards, and, that day, Kyouhei especially was unrelenting.

Finally, Takenaga made them stop when our poor, favorite, little Sunako finally broke down in tears. Sunako ran away while he told her he'd make her some tea and here she was, on her bed, sobbing silently.

Jareth looked in his crystal ball and frowned at the young girl whom his goblins had befriended. Sunako was usually so strong and powerful. It was too bad he already decided that Toby would take over his kingdom. Sunako would make a good Goblin Queen.

"Is Sunako alright?" a goblin asked, looking at the crystal.

"She had a trying day."

"Poor Sunako!"

Sunako hugged her pillow to her chest. "I wish I was anywhere but here," she said.

Jareth smiled. "Alright, Sunako. I'll find a place for you to stay until you're ready to return—or until I have to return you." Jareth set the crystal ball down and picked up two others.

One of them held the image of the love of his life and heir: Sarah and Toby Williams. Jareth inhaled heavily. She was so beautiful…And Toby…that boy was growing fast! It was almost time…

The other had a young, handsome man in a bathtub. Jareth winced at the scars on Cain Hargreaves' back and he looked at the other ball again.

This time it showed someone else, but it didn't seem right to Sheshomaru to dump Sunako in his arms. He was still considering Cain, so he waved the ball again.

L Lawliet? Nah…he was too busy trying to solve the Kira Case in a different dimension. Sending her to Cain was looking like his best idea for Sunako's situation. Plus it might help Sunako's housemates.

"I just hope Cain can handle her," Jareth muttered before picking up the crystal with Sunako's image in the glass and held the one with Cain, who had finished his bath. Jareth pressed the crystals together and, as though they were water, they began to merge into one.

Sunako felt all material around her begin to fade away. She opened her eyes and looked around. Everything was fading.

She fell, gaining speed and momentum.

Sunako screamed as she fell, trying to grab onto something, but all she caught was air.

She fell to the ground.

When she opened her eyes again, Sunako was in the middle of the street. There were no cars around.

The road was made of stone brick and the sky was entirely black. Her only source of light was the lamp posts lit only by fire. She was surrounded by buildings of red brick all around her.

"Are you alright, Miss?" A man shouted at her in English.

Sunako stood on her feet, shakily and tried to speak, her voice was choked back and she was shaking heavily. The man stepped towards her and wrapped his arm around her waist and took her hand with his other hand and led her swiftly out of the street.

He was dressed in a tuxedo and cape. On his head was a top hat. "That's right, Miss, just breathe. My name is Count Cain Hargreaves, or Earl Hargreaves. If you need a place to stay, you're welcome to one of my guest rooms."

Sunako nodded. "Thank you," she said, also in English, still shuddering. "I think I'll take you up on that offer."

Cain released her and offered his arm. Sunako blinked, confused, but decided she ought to not offend him, so she linked her arm in his and he led her down the street.

As she walked, she realized she was wearing a dress of some sort that squeezed her ribs terribly. "Where am I?" she asked.

"Got some amnesia, eh?" Cain asked. "You're in London, Miss. Do you remember your name?"

"Su…Sunako Nakahara," Sunako answered. "I remember that I'm Japanese and from Hokkaido."

"Hokkaido?"

"A region in the north of Japan."

"So you remember your home, but not your time in London?"

"No."

"Do you remember anything else?"

Sunako tried to conjure up her memories, but other than where she was from and her name, nothing came to mind. She shook her head. "Well, that's alright," Cain said. "Take your time remembering. You can stay in my house until you remember."

"Thank you so very much," Sunako said. A carriage stopped before them.

"Lord Cain!" a man said coming out. "Thank God you're alright…who's this?"

"Ms. Sunako Nakahara," Cain answered. "She's caught a small case of amnesia, Riff. I've offered her a place to stay until she remembers."

The man, Riff, sighed and allowed them to enter the carriage. Cain followed Sunako inside and, once the door was closed, they headed to the Hargreaves' estate.

"Good luck, Cain," Jareth said, throwing the ball into the air. "Keep her safe."

Her is the prologue to another crossover with the Wallflower! Originally, I was going to have Sunako end up with Jezebel, but...it just never worked out that well...so, it's Cain x Sunako.

Reviews may be optional, but it'd still be very nice ~puppy eyes~
