SUMMERY: SetXKono Konoka Konoe is target to become the heir of the dark mage's throne. Konoka, not knowing the history behind these accusations, refuses to come. Setsuna Sakurazaki pleads to be taken in place of Konoka. She then agrees to be taught in the dark magic, thus becoming the enemy of every thing light and good--even Konoka.

"SET-CHAN!" she screamed falling to her knees. Setsuna Sakurazaki was just torn away from her friend, Konoka Konoe. Konoka just sat there, tears falling down her face as it began to snow.

A few minutes passed; her Sensei, Negi, and one of her other friends, Asuna, came up to her. "Konoka, we'll get her back some how! I mean we have two very powerful mages and Tatsumya-san. There's also Chachamaru-san! So-" "No…" The shorter girl cut off Asuna. "Wada ya mean?" Asuna asked. "Yes, Konoka, why not?" said Negi in a concerned tone. "Set…Set-chan left willingly! She… she doesn't care any more!" exclaimed Konoka standing up. She started off towards the school, Mahora Academy, to tell her grandfather of the news; her friends followed close behind.

Later that night Konoka lay awake reliving the event that had taken place not to long ago.

Flashback

"Who are you people and what's your business with Konoka Ojou-sama?" "We've come to reclaim the heir to the dark throne! You, annoying gnat, are in the way. MOVE!" "D-dark throne? Set-chan w-what are they talking about?" "Konoka Ojou-sama, you are not a dark mage don't listen to them! Tell me, will you leave her alone if I go with you?" Setsuna questioned. "No, she must come!" argued the man. "I mean it please! I beg of you!" she begged. The man in the dark cloak kicked her. Setsuna tumbled against the cold wet ground and her Yuunagi flew out of her hand. She went to ask again, but the man just harmed her as before. This went on for a while; the tall, longhaired, girl could do nothing for her shorter friend.

Finally Setsuna stood up and knelt in front of them one last time. "Please! Please I beg of you take me instead of taking her!" she pleaded with all of her might. The man in the black cloak came over to her. " I suppose, since you've stood up to us all this time, we could honor your plea. You must become a warrior of the dark and learn the dark magic, you will fight against all light and good beings—even her—you know?" "Yes." stated the shorter girl with gloom. She fainted after the word. The men picked her up and dragged her off. "SET-CHAN!"

End flashback

The longhaired girl closed her dark brown eyes with the sound of her last words ringing in her ears; tears ran down her face once again.
