This is my very first attempt at fanfiction. If the story goes well I may ask for help in proof reading/editing.

I do not own Magic Knight Rayearth. My inspiration for this story was based on Greek Mythology, Hades and Persephone.

Thank you for reading!

"Hikaru please do not go too far. We need to get back before the sunset."

Hikaru waved away her protective brothers with a bright smile. The youngest princess of the light clan was all but sunshine. At the age of eighteen she has just celebrated her birthday. While everyone adored her with precious jewels and flowers she asked for just one thing...to be free for one day. To be able to go out beyond the land of shidou clan and explore outside.

She got her wish under condition that her three older brothers to escort her.

"I never knew there were places like this...isn't it beautiful?"

"Yes, it is but not everything is as beautiful and innocent like you."

"Oh you worry too much. Besides I never got to see the sunset. I would like to see one."

"Hikaru, we need to go back before then. As soon as sun starts setting night hunters will start showing up. "

"Night hunters?"

"They belong to the powerful land of darkness and storm. Have you not heard of story of princess Emeraude who was kidnapped by them?"

Zagato was enjoying his dark wine when his brother walked in. Lantis was the younger leader of the dark clan. His power and skill as a swordsman were well known and feared by all. But it was his looks that made him exquisite and irresistible. Anybody who saw him once could not forget his stormy violet eyes. His tall masculine stature was always clad in black armors.

"I will be heading out early today."

"It is not dark outside yet. What's the hurry?"

"I sense something different today. Maybe I will fetch some exotic creatures."0

Zagato gave a small chuckle.

Nothing less from his younger brother.

"Go. Bring me back something good. And while you are out bring back some white lilies for my Emeraude as well."

Lantis gave a small nod and disappeared into a thin air.

"Where is hikaru?"

"She said she was going to drink some water from the crystal lake."

"And you let her go on her own?"

"Of course not! I swear she was just few feet away from me!"

Satoru's jaw hardened

If she fooled her brothers to enjoy her bit of freedom...she could potentially be in danger.

Hikaru was always good at running. She was always fast and her petite body seemed to be a help.

Satoru cursed at himself and knew exactly what he had to do.

Hikaru was chasing after a small exotic animal. She could not tell what it was but it looked like a fox. But this one had a lavish tail that was glowing with a light. She wanted to catch it and bring it back as peace offering for her brothers for running off from them.

When she thought she almost had its tail suddenly the amimal disappeared into a dark spiral. Suddenly there was a thick tension in the air.

Before she could even register anything she saw him.

His violet eyes bore into her ruby orbs. She was terrified but drawn into his presence. He was wearing all black armour with deep violet cape

"...are you a night hunter?"

Her voice trembled lightly with a fear.

"Yes and no."

Lantis could easily tell hikaru was from the shidou, light clan. They usually kept to themsleves and rarely came outside of their land.

"Are you going to kidnap me?"

"...kidnap you? I am here to hunt some animals not a human."

He handed her a small animal she was chasing after.

"This is...?"

"This white kitsune. Its original form is fox but can turn into a woman to seduce hunters."

Hikaru's fingers traced lush of white fur.

"It is beautiful...but you caught it first so you should have it."

"You were chasing after it. I just happen to run into it. If it were a bloody dragon or thunder bird I would have kept it."

"Hikaru!"

When hikaru turned around she saw her brothers with several warriors with them.

Her eyes widened when she saw their weapons.

"Please do not hurt him! He did not do anything!"

Lantis chuckled.

This young woman did not know anything about him. She had no idea that if he really wanted to

he could wipe out whole entire land with chaotic storm or pure darkness.

She wanted to defend him and protect him. That was a heart warming thought.

When they closed up and saw Lantis Satoru dropped his weapon.

"My Lord..."

"No need for formality. I am not zagato."
