A/N: Welcome dear reader. This story has been floating around in my head for quite some time and I have to at least try to put it down. So here I am! Anyway the majority of this tale takes place twenty-one years after the end of season four. It will also switch back to 'the good ol' days of Louise and Saito (like this chapter for example). I'll also be making some of my own non-canon 'adjustments' to the story.

S/N: The majority of the story surrounds OC's such as Louise and Saitos' twin sons, a 'savage' noble from the east and the main character who was mentioned in the summery. So without further ado...

2012- Inagi, Tokyo, outside the Hiraga house

Saito stared at the name plate for a moment in silence. Seeing his name written in Japanese again was strange but comforting. He looked down at Louise- his wife. She looked uncomfortable. "Nervous?" Saito asked "N-no way" she looked forward determined. He took her hand and squeezed it lightly. Saito took a deep breath and went through the front gate, walked along the path to the door and rung the bell. The familiar chime helped to ease his nerves.

"Coming!" rang a female voice from the inside.

The door opened to reveal a woman with dark shoulder length curled hair. The woman gasped as she saw Saito, tears running down her pale face. Her hands went over her mouth. She didn't even notice Louise as she launched herself at Saito crying into him.

"S-saito my baby boy!" She pulled away so she could look at him "where the hell have you been?!" gasped the hysterical woman.

Saito broke the hug and looked back at his mother "That's... a long story mom." Saito turned to Louise "Mom this is Louise, my wife"

Louise couldn't understand a single word but caught the gist of the conversation. Saito's mother missed him and questioned his whereabouts, Saito weakly tried to come up with something. Then Saito turned to her and most likely introduced her. "Lady Hiraga" as Louise had taken to calling her, finally acknowledged her. Lady Hiraga looked back and forth between Saito and Louise a couple of times before settling her glare on Louise.

Louise squeaked out an incorrectly pronounced "O-ohaiiyo" that Saito taught her while trembling slightly and smiling as sweetly as she could. Saitos' mothers glare deepened as she narrowed her eyes and turned back to Saito "I see you've married a foreigner whilst on you're trip" She said anger dripping from the word trip.

"Well... you see t-there were some situations- of which I had no control a-and." Saito paused and sighed. "I think it'd be best to show you and dad rather than tell you" he said meekly.

"Show us wha- ...Saito if you show me a child I will cut of your penis right here in front of your wife, child and god" She stated seriously. Saito instantly covered his nether regions and stuttered "N-NO Nothing like that I swear!" He recomposed himself. "Is dad home?"

"Yes." She looked at him tenderly. "But when I get him I want some real answers" Saito looked at his mother seriously. "of course"

And so for the next hour Saito explained to his parents what had happened to him, where he had been and what he had been doing (After of course, the inevitable "how much you've grown!" etc). Akia (Dad) and Satomi (Mom) looked skeptical and concerned as he finished his retelling. Saito seeing their concern for his mental health turned to Louise "open the portal" he told her.

Louise nodded and complied chanting quietly to herself then she pointed her wand and a green oval appeared. In it's middle was what seemed to be a picture of rolling green hills and an old yet beautiful manor. Akia and Satomi were immediately taken back. They both circled the portal several times making a few 'hmm's 'ooh's and 'ahh's. Louise giggled at Saitos parents as they reminded her so much of her husband with their curiosity. Satomi was the first to break the circle.

With a serious face and tender eyes she finally spoke "Okay sweety this is pretty impressive but it still doesn't prove your sanity" she stated, concern in her voice. Akia was busy sticking a pencil through one end and 'oooh'ing on the other side when nothing appeared.

Saito smirked "that's not the impressive part" Saito turned to his father."Dad, why don't you step through" Akia turned around, his foot already through "huh? You say somethin' son?"

Saito chuckled "no, go on ahead Dad" Akia disappeared beyond the green oval. Louise followed. Saito had one leg through and reached his hand out to his scared and suspicious mother. "Come on mom, let me show you my new home" he gestured toward the portal.

After some thought Satomi reluctantly took her sons hand and followed after him.

Year 1587, Tristain, Lord Hiragas manor

The Hiragas (Tokyo) were pleasantly shocked that their boy was not a schizophrenic- but a Lord! Saito gave them a tour and because Louise was back in her realm she was able to use all types of magic not just void. This enabled her to cast a language spell to understand and speak to her foreign in-laws. They introduced themselves and were proud to learn that their son married a noble. Siesta was introduced next and they were interested in her families unique Japanese background. The group later took a tour of the village on the Hiragas' (Halkegenia) land. They ran into Tiffania outside her house in the village and introduced her. Akia noticed the well endowed half elf and nudged his son "Oi" Saito didn't even look up at his father, he already knew what he was going to say. "They're real, trust me I know" Akia smirked "That's my boy".

The tour continued until dusk. They came home to a feast prepared by Siesta. Which was hungrily devoured by the men and daintily taken in by the women. The group adjourned to the hot spring and relaxed until midnight. The Hiragas (Tokyo) were shown to their luxurious room and comfortable beds. Needless to say they slept very well.

In the morning Akia said he would love to stay but he should probably get to work to explain his absence and Satomi insisted she leave. "You two should be alone, and remember I want grandchildren before I'm 50" she said sweetly. Saito and Louise turned red but laughed it off and said goodbye. Saito promised to visit in a week. He turned to Louise. "I think that went really well" he smiled down at her. "Do you think they liked me?" Louise asked hopefully looking up with pleading eyes. Saito leaned down and kissed her forehead reassuringly "They loved you" she smiled brightly. "Wanna go for a walk before we head to the palace?" asked Louise "I'd love to". The couple walked off into the distance, hand in hand, each silently wondering what the future would bring.

Epilogue of a Prologue

Four years later Saito and Louise began to have children. Twin boys, Louis, Gaston and their youngest Kimiko (Saito demanded at least one of his offspring carry a Japanese name). Louis and Gaston (age 17) attend the Tristain Academy of Magic as third years. Kimiko (age 16, nickname Kim) attends the Academy as a second year. The twins inherited their fathers hair style and dark eyes but their mothers pink hair while Kim inherited the exact opposite (Black hair Louise style, maple colored eyes).

When the twins were born Saito realized he wanted to provide a great life for his children. So he resolved to become a wealthy influential noble. They could have a good life living off his land but Saito wanted great. He wanted to give them everything the world had to offer, wealth, knowledge, adventure. While also being able to watch them grow. He handed all estate matters to Louise and because she shared his dream vowed to restore their land to it's former glory and more. This gave Saito time to train, he learned the art of the Halkagenian sword as well as returning to Tokyo and mastering Kendo. Once mastered he was able to combine the two into a single fighting style. It looked foolish but was extremely effective. Because of his odd awkward looking style Saito was given the name 'Saito the Bloody Jester'.

Using this style Saito proved to Queen Henrietta that he was worthy of being her knight. She sent him on the most dangerous missions she had but they still weren't enough for Saito. With the mighty Saito (her 'trump card' as Saito called himself) at her side Henrietta gained Tristain great wealth and reputation by conquering many of the untamed smaller countries to the east.

This wealth and reputation became Saitos by extension. House Hiraga became one of the most powerful noble families in Tristain. Louise contributed to this power by increasing their influence. She did this by using the money Saito earned to expanding their small village into a great city of trade which they named Shishon (offspring). Shishon grew rapidly over these 21 years and became the commerce capital of Tristain as well as a cultural hub. It was Hiraga houses infamy that drew many to take residence in Shishon. Because of it's mass Louise became the de facto 'mayor' of Shishon. She governed the city with an iron fist at her right and a tender caress to her left.

Saito and Louise raised their 'babys' well. They had a wonder-filled childhood full of adventure, knowledge and rich memories. The twins became talented battle mages and as such summoned twin Pegasus... Pegasees? Pegasi? Whatever, winged horses. Kim was considered a enchanting prodigy, already casting complex enchantments.

Though the Hiraga children grew up happy with out a worry (like most noble children) some children aren't always so fortunate...

TBC

A/N: So what'd you think of the prologue? If you happened to like it don't get to attached to Saito and Louise because they aren't the main characters. However they will show up, just older. If you didn't like the prologue PLEASE give me usable reviews. Good ex: Your plot was slow and your characters lacked depth. Bad ex: It sucked. By the way I'm sorry this isn't like the summery but the next chapter is. I ask you to trust me loyal reader. Alrighty I'll try to post more soon.
