Timeline: I am throwing them into the world similar to Lord of the Rings. Heheh... sort of... What? Never heard of that movie/ book? Well, imagine the world of knights, wizards, elves, and whatever magical creature I can think of. Mwahahaha...
Characters: All PoT characters of my choice.
Background: There were three parts of lands in this world, separated by border such as rivers, or mountains or whatever. One of them known as the Mainland where Shitenhouji Kingdom, Seigaku Kingdom, Hyotei Kingdom and St. Rudolf Kingdom were located. This land was populated mostly by Man and Elves. The second "land" was the Snow land which was populated by the Wizards and the Fairies. The third continent was the Fire land which is ruled by the Dark Lord and all sorts of evil magical beings such as orcs who were under the command of the lord live there.
Plot: A Dark Lord 'sent' a prince to an adventurous journey to find the Great Stone of Zaricof. The epic journey leading the prince to various places while he made new friends, fend off enemies, find true love, and laugh at stupid jokes along the way. Okay, maybe not laugh... -wink-
Genre: Adventures, Humor, Romance
Pairings: no male to male pairings... I think...
The war began!
"Your daughter is here, my Lord," Sanada bowed before the emperor of Rikkai, after he entered his lord"s private chamber.
"Bring her in," the emperor told his loyal knight.
Sanada did what he was just instructed and brought a young girl in. He also made sure that nobody was near that part of the castle.
"Father," the girl looked paled and nervous, probably overwhelmed by the aura emitted by the man before her, who also happened to be the greatest dark sorcerer ever. She even afraid to look at him, keeping her eyes to the ground instead.
"Tell me about this prophecy that you saw," he told her softly, although one should never interpret that wrongly. Behind the smile, this man would kill mercilessly the second that person was of no use to him anymore.
"The only person who can find the stone is a prince who live in the Kingdom of Shitenhouji," the girl said.
'There are two princes of Shitenhouji. Which one is it?'
'The vision wasn't clear, father. My vision didn't really showed his face.'
The Dark Lord stood silence, deep in thought, thinking of the prophecy that he just heard. The stone. The Great Stone of Zaricof to be exact. He had sought that magical wishing gem, which could grant him one wish, for such a long time; his desired for immortality so that he could conquer the world and rule forever.
"However, the prince would also destined to..." she hesitated for a while, afraid that she would be punish if she said it.
"Continue."
"The prince would also destined to... d-defeat y-you." The girl closed her eyes, waiting for the pain. Surely this would anger the Dark Lord.
Instead the Dark Lord gave out a blood curdling laugh which filled the whole castle. "Kabaji!" the Dark Lord summoned.
In an instant, Kabaji magically appeared before them, bowing, waiting for his father"s instruction.
"Send her to the Mainland," the Dark Lord said before turning to the girl. "I will give you a limited amount of power so use it wisely and make sure that the Shitenhouji"s princes go out of his castle to find the stone."
"Yes, father," said both of his children. With that, both of them disappeared into thin air.

"And why should I trust you?" Asked the King of Hyotei to an old witch before him. "I could easily throw you into the dungeon for your insolence of entering my castle?"
"You don't have to trust me," the witch replied, not fazed by the king's threat. Not even to the officials standing around her in the Hyotei palace. "I am here to offer you an easy way to conquer Shitenhouji. It is up to you whether you accept it or not."
"Without anything for you in return?" Atobe found it hard to believe that.
"Not for you to know but I can assure you that I have no ill intent towards your kingdom."
King Atobe thought of the suggestion, unsure what to say.
"I apologized for my imprudence but I would have to ask you for your answer now," she said, "However, need I remind you how long had you been waiting for such chance to defeat the Shitenhouji. Surely, you don't want to miss it."
"Know your place, you commoners!" Atobe told her angrily. How dare such pathetic commoner talk to him like that?!
"My king, I do find the logic in her words," Renji chimed in.
If Renji wasn't his wisest strategist general that he had, he would have chopped his head off for not asking his permission to speak. "Explain yourself."
"Shitenhouji's strength lies on the defensive devices that kept their enemies away from their fortress wall without sacrificing their actual army. If we could somehow render the contraptions useless, we could easily infiltrate the fortress and conquer it."
After a while of thinking, Atobe finally agreed with his general. After all, Renji was his most trusted man and as long as he remembered, Renji never made mistakes regarding his war tactics. "And how would you do that, witch?"
"I am a witch, Sire," she said, "I have my own way. That is all you need to know."
"I see," Atobe said before standing up and turning to his knights. "Renji and Momoshiro, go and prepare our army. Lead them to a war against Shitenhouji!"

CLANK. CLANK.
CLANK.
CLANK. CLANK. CLANK.
In a training arena, outside Shitenhouji's palace, Ryoma continuously attacking his brother using his sword but easily fended off by Osamu. "Come on, Ryoma. Is that all you've got?"
"How am I suppose to learn how to fight if you keep defending," Ryoma told him in frustration, between his pants. "Why aren't you attacking me in return?"
"How could I hurt my beloved brother?"Osamu joked, although he meant it inside. In fact, everyone knew that he had a soft spot on Ryoma and always pampering the boy.
"Stop playing around and attack me!" Ryoma shouted, charging towards the other prince. Yes, Osamu and Ryoma were the princes of Shitenhouji. As an older brother, Osamu was the crown prince and, despite of his playful nature which sometimes irritated Ryoma, he was a capable prince who helped the old king to manage the kingdom. For that reason, Ryoma harbored a deep respect towards his brother.
CLANK.
"Now, now. You should know that patience is the basic thing you should have in swordsmanship," he said as he easily disarmed Ryoma.
"Prince Osamu, the king wants to see you," said a man making both prince turned to him.
"Mitsu-chan," Osamu smiled to his bestfriend who was also his most trusted subject. "How many times do I have to tell you to call me by my name?"
"And how many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that?" retorted the young knight.
Ryoma watched both men in silence. He knew how close his brother was to the knight before him. Tezuka Kunimitsu was a man he respected the most other than his brother. Not only that he was the youngest knight promoted to a commander, he also was known for his bravery and righteousness. His swordsmanship skill was in a class of its own and was rumored to even surpassed his brother's skill.
"Do you like him too?" Osamu teased playfully, snapping his brother out of his reverie.
Blush. "W-what do you m-mean?" Ryoma stuttered, looking away.
"Awww... you look cute when you blush, you know that?"
"Keep your nonsense thoughts to yourself, Osamu." Tezuka said monotonously. 'Stop poisoning your brother's mind.'
"But it is true, isn't it? Your beauty does attract men and women where ever you go," Osamu said, smirking. "Remember that day when we were on our way to the fortress wall? A man bent down and asked your hand for marriage. You have to admit that it was hilarious!" Osamu laughed and continued. "Oh... and remember a maid who 'accidentally' spill tea on your lap-"
"It was no more hilarious than seeing you drunk as you shamelessly dance with a monkey that night." Tezuka interjected.
"Hey, we agreed not to mention that to anybody!"
"Then you should not start it first."
"You are no fun, Mitsu-chan."
"I am not," Tezuka retorted, began leaving the two princes. "And stop calling me that."
"Okay, Ryoma. I guess we would have to continue the practice for next time," Osamu turning to his brother before running to catch up with his friend. "So, what do father want this time?" he asked when he caught up with Tezuka.
"I don't know. I was just instructed to deliver the massage."
Osamu sighed. "I hope he is not trying to find me a wife again. I couldn't bear to see another woman crying in disappointment."
"..."
"How about you?"
"What about me?"
"Do you still dream about her?"
"She does not exist, Osamu. She is just a mere dream."
"Although, you could never forget about her since you dreamt of her every night."
Tezuka sighed and wondered what had possessed him to tell the prince about his dream in the first place anyway.
"You know what? I have a great idea! How about I pass the girl introduced to me over to you?"
"I refuse."
"Oh come on. Maybe your dream is a sign for you to get married."
Tezuka decided to ignore him.
'What did you guys do last night? Was it a rough one?'
"I told you to keep your perverted thought to yourself, did I?" Tezuka retorted.
"Awww... is that how you talk to a crown prince, Mitsu-chan?"
"Then behave like a prince," Tezuka retorted. "And stop calling me that."

"You are saying that the Hyotei armies had cross the border and are heading towards us?" Osamu repeated, not really believing what he just heard. His voice echoed throughout the the meeting chamber in the presence of the king and most ranking commanders, strategist generals and other knights.
"They should be here by tomorrow evening, sire," Chitose informed.
"Father, I would like to send for a healer team to those soldiers guarding our border. They probably injured badly defending the border." the crown prince said, in serious tone. "And we also need to bring in our people inside the fortress."
"I had sent people to be in charged of that, but-" Chitose said.
"But I had instructed Chitose not to send any healer team to the border." interjected the king.
Osamu was surprised by his father decision. "What? Why did you do that?"
"Because I am the king and I am responsible for this fortress's safety."
"But-"
"The men at the border probably dead already. I will not tolerate any misuse of resources especially when we are in war at the moment."
Silence. Tezuka noticed Osamu's fist tighten in frustration, hearing the king's decision but there was nothing can be done since the king had made up his mind.
After a while, the crown prince began to relaxed. "Okay, let's focus on the defense then. This is what I propose we should do, he said turning to another young knight beside him. "Ootori, bring me the map."

As you can see, I didn't really dwell much on describing the background because I don't like to do that. Partly because my English is crappy and I tend to forget about the actual plot once I start explaining not to mention trying to cut down the amount of work and imagination needed for that. So, I figured to leave them to your imagination.
Wokie! It's time for bed. Tell me what you think okay? Should I continue this or if there is exactly the same fic as this one, should I stop this. Reviews would be loved. Suggestions would be highly appreciated. Questions will of course be answered. If anyone have too much free time and would like to help me beta-ing this fic, you are totally needed here!
Review!
