So this is the 1st chapter of my story… I hope you all like it.. it just struck me one day to start writing it.. after I had read so many wonderful stories I thought… why shouldn't I try it too? I would be glad if you read and review telling me what you like or not like or any possible suggestions. Hope you enjoy.

Note: Mihat and Alina are actually parents of Yaten according to Naoko Takeuchi's interview. They are actually very much alike Yaten , you know the hair color and character but I had to change them a little to fit with the profile of the other too guys. The starlights are originally not brothers but for my story let's say they are. This fanfic will focus very much on :Yaten/Minako, Taiki/Ami, Usagi/Mamoru/Seiya

CHAPTER 1 : ROYAL DECISION- THE MISSION

It was early morning and the sun had just started shoving his rays over Kinmoku. King Mihat , a tall well-built man with long black hair that started to become grey, a grayish long beard and purple decisive eyes ,was resting along with his wife, Alina , a beautiful and mysterious woman with very long white-blond hair which reached her waist and dark blue eyes. The couple was sleeping peacefully in their oversized royal bed with silky light-blue shits , when they were awoken by a sudden noise…

"Come here you nosy brat… I am not finished with you ", a rather short silver-haired man shouted to his opponent.

" Leave me alone you cocky dwarf !! You should know by now that there is no way you defeating me… I am ALL MIGHTY!!" , the raven-haired boy cried with pride , showing himself off to his brother.

"You guys , please stop. You are getting on everyone's nerves. Stop acting like you are 6 years old. Mostly you Yaten… You are 20 for heaven's sake . Stop whining at once", ordered the brunette boy , with words that seemed to have an impact on his brothers, mostly the older one. Then he went straight in the middle of the quarrel in a desperate attempt to cease it.

"Taiki I am sorry for my…. well immature behavior but Seiya the major baka here seems to think that he is the centre of the earth. Do you know what he said? He said that Princess Kakyuu , who is de jure supposed to be married with me, loves him! Can you believe that? " ,asked an irritated Yaten showing with his index finger his younger brother ,who was boasting proudly at this time.

"I don't want to be braggy but it is true", Seiya confessed, " She likes me.. in fact every girl on Kinmoku likes me !! And you know why pampered boy? Cause I am "the guy"!! I am handsome, easy-going, mysterious, seductive and well to be completely honest much more smart than you are Yaten… Not to mention the fact that you will need a ladder to reach Kakyuu… dwarf!!" ,smirked Seiya looking at his annoyed brother.

"Well then that's that!! We are at war!! In the end we will see who will Kakyuu choose and who is going to be King.. haha" burst into a devilish smile Yaten removing quickly his scimitar from his belt.

Taiki could not help by resign in defeat hitting his head with his book, shouting "I've had enough of you two…if you want to kill yourselves then go on! I can't take it any longer… I surrender", he said strolling back to his room annoyed and wanting nothing more but to continue reading his scientific book.

Yaten was very talented in the use of any kind of sword, but he mostly liked the scimitar with the crooked blade that could cut even deeper his opponent. Seiya, was mostly fond of the martial arts and although he had known how to use any kind of sword, he rather preferred to eliminate his opponents with his physical strength and martial arts' moves. Taiki …. Well he was a whole other story…..

At the site of the scimitar being held by Yaten's right hand , Seiya took a defensive position ready to block him with his bare hands. At the exact moment that Yaten was ready to thrust his sword into his brother a voice cut them off..

"STOP RIGHT NOW!!" ,shouted an exasperated King from his window. He couldn't stand it any longer. His sons would bring his death. He was thrown into pieces every time he witnessed his three sons to fight each other with so much hatred and passion. His wife always thought that they were simply immature, boys fighting like playing ,but he couldn't help but think that they would bring the down fall of his kingdom. "When will you stop fighting with each other?", he cried "Do you have to see me in my grave, to stop? Will this make you happy?" The King was clearly highly irritated and angry. He couldn't help it.

"I am sorry father" ,said reluctantly Yaten with eyes looking on the ground embarrassed and with a small blush on his cheeks. He didn't like to upset his father. He hated seeing him being angry or sad because of his behaviour. He was after all the first born and the heir of the throne. He should show a more mature character but he couldn't stand his arrogant brother showing off all the time, pretending to be the one and only that mattered and boasting about his achievements with young women or fights.

"We are really sorry to upset you father" ,sighed also embarrassingly Seiya ,feeling guilty of provoking his brother and ending up in this worthless fight.

"So be it. I want you to be in the assembly room in exactly 20 minutes. We have an urgent matter to discuss" , ordered king Mihat, then closed the window and went straight to his wardrobe to change into his royal outfit. He was still dressed in his bedtime outfit with loose silky trousers in khaki and a nightgown-like long shirt with buttons on the front .He then turned to face his worried wife with eyes full of love both for her and their children. He knew he was harsh towards them but he had to be. They had to understand their responsibilities and duties. Some day one of them would rule the kingdom. Alina supported her husband on every decision. She knew that sometimes he could be tough with them but most of the times he was just. She returned his gaze and went close to him to hug him.

" Onegai my love, don't be sad. I am pretty sure that they indeed love each other. But they are boys and no matter how old they grow, the will always act on impulse. My only hope is that someday soon they will realize the burden they have to carry, being princes with duties.", Alina said in an apologetic tone, trying to sooth her husband's anger.

Mihat lifted slowly her chin with his hand and pressed gently his lips on hers. "Alina…. You are the only one who understands me. I feel the need to tell you that I have reached a decision. It may look dangerous and harsh but I hope that our sons will endure it and hopefully they will become better individuals" he finished. Alina nodded and added "I always trust you my love. I wish that everything will end up good" She smiled elegantly and left his arms to reach her wardrobe and wear a long emerald green gown.

In exactly twenty minutes the three brothers showed up in the assembly room, a large room with maps covering almost everything and a huge library with foreign books, most concerning law and strategy. This was the place where all the important decisions were taken, where the king had meetings with his generals and ministers. The king was sitting on his throne alongside with his wife behind a large square wooden table with curving on it. On the table the Latin inscription "IN OMNIA PARATUS" prepared for everything was written. Yaten, Taiki and Seiya were dressed lightly wearing some sort of tight pants according to the fashion of this time of course, loose shirts with a great opening in the cleavage, big leather belts around their waists and black leather boots. Yaten's shirt was light blue , whereas Seiya's was a deep red and Taiki's a plain white one. The three brothers bowed at the sight of their king and father and rose with their heads still facing the ground. The king spoke first:

"My sons as I told you before, there is an urgent matter we need to discuss. As you probably know I am well in health but and one of these days something might happen to me and I might leave you…." His voice trembled as his words were spoken, creating an unbearable atmosphere in the room. Seiya immediately cut him off , "Father you cannot mean your words!! We all know that you are a real fighter with a lion heart. You have faced many battles and you were the winner. You can't be possibly afraid by some kind of illness." ,Yaten added "Father we understand that we made you angry with our fight before this meeting but I can assure you that this won't happen again". Taiki was irritated by his brother cutting off the important speech of their father, who also happened to be their king and quickly hissed "Father you may want to continue with your important speech before there are any other….. disturbances " his eyes looking from right to left at his brothers.

Mihat immediately continue holding his wife's hand in his hands , her eyes fixed upon him with a sense of sadness and worry. She was not only confused and sad by her husband's worries ,but also afraid by what might happen next. The king smiled to his wife kissing lightly her hand and continued, "As I mentioned before, something might happen to me. Besides I am getting old.. I want to be completely sure about my heir… the next king of Kinmoku. I can't leave my kingdom at its fate. I own to the people. I must find a suitable heir".

Yaten was looking at his father totally confused not being able to understand what Mihat was hinting , since he was the first-born and the de facto next king of Kinmoku. He started speaking waiting until his father had finished his sentence. "Father I am sorry to interrupt your thinking but am I not supposed to be the next king of Kinmoku? I am the first born. Besides you can't deny that from your three sons I am the only one really capable of taking the throne" Seiya and Taiki looked down at him with death glares but waited to see what he said next. "You can't seriously believe that a guy like Seiya, the lover-boy of the kingdom can take the throne. The whole kingdom would turn up-side down with his mischief ….." Seiya immediately interrupted him feeling highly offended "Hey you brat.. it is not my fault that I am the most handsome guy in Kinmoku and that gals really like me…. You must be thankful , he said with arms at either side of his waist and a "you-owe-me" look on his face with one eye-brow raised. "If it wasn't for me being chased by all those girls you wouldn't be able to live in your solitude, not to mention Taiki over there who seems to be married with his books" ,Seiya finished mocking devilishly his brothers. Taiki was outraged at his brother's words but he wouldn't burst. No… he was a gentleman. So he looked down at his younger brother and just commented "At least I am not the laughing stock of Kinmoku singing every night love songs for a different girl waiting to receive eventually a kiss but most of the times receiving…let me think buckets of water or threats by their fathers". Taiki grinned devilishly and was utterly satisfied with himself since right now his black-haired brother was ready to explode.

Before Seiya was able to defend himself Yaten added while laughing loud "You are right Taiki. Did you hear what happened the other day? He was singing a serenade to princess Kakyuu under her balcony and he ended up being chased by the guardian dogs. The rottweilers bit his ass……." , An outburst came "Why you snobby worm… that didn't happen. The red-haired angel is in love with me… She was ready to come down to me and kiss me when her dogs…aaa… interrupted us. But they didn't bite me.. I left in time… ohh and just for the record.. SHE LOVES ME!! Ohh yeah… take that!!", Seiya was completely happy now seeing his oldest brother being ready to fight over Kakyuu's love.

Kakyuu was the daughter of the army's general. Her father was just below the king in status and that's why they all called her princess Kakyuu. She was a medium height slender woman with very long silky red locks. She wore them in some sort of pigtails looking rather like bows. She had expressive ,understanding brown eyes and red full lips. She was a real beauty. Yaten was not in love with her. On the other hand Yaten never really cared about anyone else rather than himself… At least that was what he showed

to the others. He was very secretive and high tempered. He was a solitary man and he enjoyed it. Seiya on the other hand was a very easy-going character . He was smart and sporty and he was really flirtatious. He had many fans but would never take advantage of an innocent maiden. He just liked to play and flirt around. He seemed to be very interested in Kakyuu but he was clearly not in love with her. At least he never admitted anything like that, not even to himself. Taiki was also a rather reserved person but he was not so secretive as Yaten. He was just dedicated to his studies and always felt that when the right time came he would find a proper woman to love and care for.

Yaten and Seiya were ready again for one of their epic fights when the queen this time cut them off. " Enough of you two!! Listen finally to your father… sometimes you make me so proud of being your mother and other times….." she couldn't continue. She didn't want to continue. She loved them too much to hurt them. Queen Alina burst into tears and quickly left the room. The three brothers immediately felt embarrassed for making their mother hurt. The king shouted at them "Look now what you have done… your senseless fights have made your mother cry. I can't stand this any longer. I thought you were just immature , just boys playing around but I WON'T TAKE IT ANY LONGER!!" Mihat had blushed from the shouting…. He stopped for a moment to catch his breath and then continued with his fist hitting the table "I want you to know from now that I don't consider you to be my sons. You never deserved so much kindness. Seiya and Yaten you always fight like a bunch of drunk men and you Taiki… you are always closed in your room reading your damn books never caring what happens outside your chamber. Is this the attitude of a king? Tell me can any of you truly become a king?" his words were painful like knives straight to the heart. His sons were red like tomatoes from embarrassment, Taiki hiding his face in his hands , Yaten crossing his hands in the classical Yaten-style looking away and Seiya looking on the ground pretty much ready to cry.

King Mihat knowing the impact his words had on his sons, continued further with his accusations and his statement. "Although I know Yaten is the oldest of all of you three but I have decided that the most capable of you will become my heir. I won't give up my throne so easily. I need to find a respectable successor. So from now on you should know that I am sending you on a mission. You will bring me the most powerful object that exists upon this earth. You will split up and search for it. There are many magical objects but I will decide which one is worth the most and the one of you that carries it will become my successor. You have one year from now to search and find them… You are dismissed" , ordered the king sending his sons to their rooms to get packed and ready to leave for the unknown places where lie many secrets and treasures of all kinds…..

In the meantime in a distant land two women where speaking…

"Tell me priestess what do you see?" asked a slender medium height girl with long blond hair tied in a big red bow in the half-ponytail way. She was wearing a long navy blue dress with long loose sleeves. She looked down at the other girl who was wearing a cape covering her body and head, revealing only big, purple decisive eyes. The priestess tossed some kind of stones with runes on a tripod table paying attention to the outcome. "Our peace will be disturbed. An unwanted stranger will arrive… The ring.. he is after the ring… ohh my princess…" the priestess stopped in a worried expression looking up at her princess not wanting to reveal more. Her sorrow was great. Their world would change if this stranger took what he wanted. Princess Minako touched the girl's shoulder and looked at her with concern. 'what can she mean?', she thought. She was disturbed and needed to learn more… so she asked in an alarmed tone "They are after the Ring? How can this possibly be? Don't worry they will never get it. For as long as I live I will protect it and only the man that defeats me will get a grip on this ring. This will never happen" ,she smiled slightly being confident of herself. The priestess immediately continued feeling guilty for not telling the complete truth, " Princess Minako ….. this stranger won't only get a grip on the Ring… he will also… steal your heart!!"………

Two days had passed since king Mihat had decided to send his sons on the quest to bring him the most powerful object on earth. He was hoping that this journey would make them more self-confident , caring, alert and last but not least responsible. His

whole kingdom was depending on them. So, early in the morning he and his wife strolled in the gardens just a few meters away from the gates of the palace to say good-bye to their sons. Queen Alina was very sad that her boys were leaving for a long time, however she knew that it was for the best. With tears running down her eyes she kissed them one by one and wished them good luck and safe journey. The king hugged every one of them wished that the most capable will bring the most powerful treasure. The three boys all dressed in their royal outfit – tight pants with some short of matched jacket and the armor. Yaten's outfit was midnight blue, Seiya's total black and Taiki's deep purple that almost looked like black. They had packed with them maps, gold, spare clothes, water in some sort of leather bags, fruit and bread. They jumped on their horses' backs and left saying goodbye.

After a 5-day journey they decided to stop for some rest. They headed towards a city nearby and ended up in a small motel named "The traveler's inn". They had food and rested a while and then they decided that it was time to split. Yaten , being the eldest chose first to head to the north, having heard many tales of dragons and maidens, magical swords and artifacts. Taiki was second and he decided to head to the south-east having read many books mentioning the knowledge of the people in these lands … the divine secrets as they were mentioned. Seiya , being the last , decided to head towards the east…. Maybe there would be treasures in these unknown lands…. He was clearly motivated by the words of tradesmen, who mentioned coming across stunning beauties living in these places and he really wanted to challenge his fate. He might not come back with a treasure… but he might come with the fairest lass the world has known! He smirked devilishly at the thought ' hehe…. Here I come East… ladies beware! Seiya the heart-snatcher is loose!!' The three boys parted with a goodbye absorbed in their thoughts. Were should they go? Wo would they meet? What kind of treasure could be the most powerful of all?
