Hi readers! This is my first time to post a story in this site. Usually I just become a reader, and I have read a LOT of story. Sailor Moon is one of my favorite anime. And I use SM character now to create this story. This story is inspired by the story of Chu Liu Xiang. Has anyone ever heard about him? He's a very famous character in wuxia (Chinese story that involved Kung Fu, if I'm not wrong) world.

The Legend of Chu Liu Xiang, yeah that's what inspired me. Especially from the TV series in 1995. It's a very good one. The story will be focus on Darien and I'm afraid that Serena won't be appear early. She will appear much later.

And English isn't my first language, so if there's a mistake or many, then I apologize first.

This story has bug me a to be write and here it is. Just read the prologue first and tell me what you think. Enjoy then ^0^

Miyuu

Prologue

The first memory that Darien could remember when somebody asked about his childhood life was when his first meeting with his old-annoying-man. Never asked about anything before that.

He didn't remember how he could be on the street, collapsed and in a state of starving to death. That was his condition when his old man found him. He could still remember the arms that lifted him from the street and carried him to wherever the person would take him.

The strong arms that carried him made him felt so safe at that time. How long since he had felt so safe again, he didn't know. Exhausted and so tired, he closed his eyes and when he woke up his master face was the one that he saw. Never he thought that the person in front him at the moment would become a very special person to him. The one that would make him who he is right now.

Yeah, he could describe the moment, the long years that he had spent with his master. And if you thought that because he's so happy that's why he remembered it, he would make you into a bloody pulp. Don't tell that I didn't remind you. The bloody years of training and practicing with the demon master of his.

After his master had saved him from the life-death situation, he then became his disciple. The one and only. Fortunately, or you can say unfortunately, his master never took any beside him. Oh, his master was a very famous for his high skilled in sword and art technique. But he'd also known for his infamous way of being a weird one.

No one that didn't know his name at that time, even till right now. Many had asked him to be his disciple but his master always rejected them. With an unsatisfied and annoying reason too.

"I don't want any disciple. I don't think there's someone who could follow what I would teach and train. And if there's someone, it's me that would find him and that person is definitely not you."

When Darien heard about this, he felt so pity to every other person that ever asked his master to be his disciple. But beside that, people never stopped asking his master to be his disciple. What a bunch of masochist, was what he thought.

All of his skilled was came from his master. From writing, mannerism, reading, playing chess, to his sword skill. And later his master also taught him to battle with a fan. A technique that his master was famous with. Although his skill to charm people, definitely, he didn't learn it from his old man.

And as the result, he has come out as a man with a very skilled in art, an intelligent mind, a very manner one and of course good with sword. Not just good but mastered it too. Plus with his handsome look, fit-sturdy body and charming ways. He has become famous in his own person.

At first many people knew him because he was his master disciple. Everybody was so curious to know who was the person that lucky enough -unlucky in Darien thought- to become the disciple of the master that always said he never need a disciple. People, especially the one that once asked his master, always threw him questions of what he had done to become his master disciple. And to this day, Darien himself didn't know the exact answer. And honestly, he didn't care and never thought about it.

He lived with his master until he reached 20 years old. After that he left his master. His master has left to other part of the world once Darien left and since then, he never met his master again.

Actually the one that left first was his master. One morning Darien woke up with only himself in the house and no sight of his master. The only remain thing of his master was his fan that he always carried and used as a weapon too. Somehow Darien knew that this time would come. So without any thought he prepared himself, bowed to the house that he had grown up with the last several years and stepped to the outside world, to begin his own journey.

Which would begin the start of this story. People knew him as Darien Chiba. But later many would know him also as the knight that always helped the poor people with stole from the corrupt rich people.

A knight that always left a lingering fragrance from the place that he had stolen from. A fragrance of rose. And that's why people called him, a Rose Knight.
