"Glowing.... growing.... something.... bright.... What is it?" Hazuki was walking in the night until she saw something bright in front of her. She picked up the glowing object and noticed it was an old key. She looked up and saw a run down place which was nearly buried by a horrible storm.
Hazuki walked forward towards the dusty road up ahead and the key rumbled in her hands.
"Huh?!" she gasped, and the key forced itself to unlocked a broken door which was impossible to open.
"What did I do? What is this place?"
"Hehhehe..... You're in my home, intruder. Why are you here?"
"Whaa?! Who are you?"
"Me? Me?? I'm Hiyomi Suzaku. Hiyomi Suzaku is the girl you are talking to. I am the daughter of Lucia Suzaku."
"Never heard of her."
"THEN! Hazuki... Where do you live?"
Hazuki chocked on a word she was about to let out. Hiyomi blinked at her and shook her head.
"No, no, no. You don't live in your clothes, do you?"
Hazuki was messing with her white ribbons.
"No, I don't. I live in a house somewhere faraway from here. I-I have a slave back at home and--"
"Wait, wait! A slave? Your personal helper??? I've been trying to get a slave since mother set me free. Teach me how!" Hiyomi clutched onto Hazuki's dress.
"Before I can help you get your own slave, please tell me where I am."
"Okay, okay. Welcome to Moon Paradise! This used to be mother's home when she was young, until her mother, my grandmother, Luana, left with a pack of wolves. No, really, she actually did." Hiyomi giggled a bit.
Hazuki didn't understand what she was taking about.
"Wait. What pack of wolves?" asked Hazuki.
"The wolves who lived with my brother Kaitou. They killed him instead..."
"The wolf pack!" Hazuki reminded her.
"Oh, yeah! My sister Mizuki told mother that she would give me the honors to take care of Moon Paradise. Mother agreed, and left to find Luana. Mizuki took care of one little wolf cub named Miyabi until she, the little cub, became the Paradise's most honored wolf. They took her away from Mizuki, and they never gave her back and--"
"Hiyomi! Forget it!" Hazuki gave up on trying to find out about the wolf pack.
"Hey! HEY! We were here first!" a girl, appears to be a vampire, was standing on top of a broken down house with another vampire girl at her side. Hazuki and Hiyomi sniffed the air and found out that the other two vampires had fresh blood from other humans.
"WE were here first! Why are you still here?!" said the tall vampire.
"Who are you?!" asked Hazuki.
"Heheh... Me? I'm Kagami and this is Kira. We're sisters and we live here!"
"Well, Kagami! I suppose you were born here before, hm?" said Hiyomi.
"Nope, but Kira and I found it before all you lazy vampire cats!" Kagami turned away from them while Kira just sat facing forward, licking her hands/paws.
"Do you have a say in this, Kira?" asked Hazuki.
"............" All she did was just nod her head at Hazuki and Hiyomi. "Sorry, fellas! She can't talk after what happened two years ago."
"WHAT exactly did happen, Kagami? Why isn't she talking to anyone besides us?" asked Hazuki. Hiyomi sat still on the rocky ground while Kagami began her story about the past of Kira.
"While Kira and I were at Sunnyside Villa, south of Moon Paradise, a small comet appeared out of nowhere, where Kira decided to take care of it until... it became a Star Egg. Star Eggs are Cosmic Babies from out of nowhere. They only say one word: Mama, even if a boy takes care of it: Mama. Kira got the Lucky Star Egg. Lucky Star Eggs are Cosmic Pine Children, an evolution from the Star Egg. Kira was happy to have a 'sibling' for a few years. The Child introduced itself to her as Ai Hanako/Hanako Ai. Kira and Ai became fast friends after Aiwas born two weeks later. She told stories to the elderly when she was five. At the age of 10, she was captured by Little Lady Hanuka. Little Lady Hanuka is the princess of Sunnyside Villa. She usually acts like a kind friend to her people, but on some occasions, she would act bratty and strict. Kira never knew that Cosmic Pine Children would age. She was ten when she first had Ai, and I was twelve when she was born. After Kira discovered that her 'sister' was abducted by Little Lady Hanuka, she promised herself that 'she will never speak again, only when she reunites with Ai again.' She was almost mute for eternity until she screamed, 'COME BACK, AI!' She didn't want to become a mute girl forever, so she wanted to restart her 'year count of mute' again. Hints were everywhere around Sunnyside, but Kira never found Ai ever again."
"That's the story of why she never speaks?" said Hiyomi. Kagami nodded. "I feel sorry for her. What can we do to make her happy again?" Hazuki spoke.
"We can speak with Hanuka and see what she knows, and if she tells us that she let Ai free, we have to take her with us. She's really skilled at finding missing people far and close."
Hiyomi and Hazuki agreed with Kagami.
Kira herself had a dark expression on her face.
"Let's go sleep somewhere dark. The sun's rising," said Kagami. "Hey, Kira! Come down from there, will ya?!" Kira nodded at her sister and jumped as high as she could to get down from the house she sat on.
"Ai has to be with Hanuka for a little longer," Hiyomi spoke, "until we find her and make Kira happy again."
"Excuse me, Kagami," said Hazuki.
"Hm?"
"How old are you guys?"
"If Kira was ten when Ai was born, then ten years later, she was abducted, and for two years straight Kira became silent... She is 22 years old and I'm 24!"
Hazuki and Hiyomi were silent for a while, with surprised looks.
Kira leaned her head against the side of Kagami's head, and transferred a portion of her thoughts to Kagami's mind.
"What's she doing?" said Hazuki puzzled.
"Mind Transfer. That's what Lucky Children do after the Cosmic Pine Child is born and begins to bond with its mother/father, or young child."
"Lucky Children?" said Hiyomi.
"That's right. Lucky Children gain the title after a Lucky Star Egg is hatched or evolved, somehow." Kagami was done explaining about Lucky Children.
"Sun's rose," said Hiyomi. "Kira just told me that it's safe for us to go outside. We brought you two here because we know that you vampires will die in the sunlight. If only you had the mark on the left side of your thigh, you would be protected by the sunlight." Kagami also finished talking to them about the markings.
Hazuki and Hiyomi frantically began searching on their left thighs.
"Want me to give you the mark?" Kagami asked them.
"OH, YES PLEASE!" Hazuki and Hiyomi pleaded.
Kagami then told Kira to transfer their marks to them, so all four of them are protected.
"Thank you, so much!" said Hiyomi.
"Thanks a bunch!" said Hazuki. An idea popped inside of Hiyomi's head.
"HAZAKI!"
"It's Hazuki," Hazuki corrected her calmly.
"HA...ZAKI! MY WISH!" Hiyomi pronounced her name wrong for the second time.
"Your wish is for me to teach you how to get a slave?"
"Slave?" Kagami heard her.
"I'LL TEACH YOU SOME TIME SOMEDAY, BUT NOT NOW!" shouted Hazuki.
"But why?" asked Hiyomi.
"No time left. We have to find Ai--"
"Not just Ai, Hazuki," Kagami interrupted her. "The Crystal Fangs of the wolves in Sunnyside and Sun Paradise."
"What does it do?" said Hiyomi.
"It activates the gateway to Ai's Universe. We have to go there in order for her to be recognized by her peers."
"And if we don't?" asked Hiyomi again.
"Then she is banned from the Universe if we don't take her back within a month."
"Well then! Let the adventure begin!" Hazuki decided.
