Crystal of Love

Prologue: The child's destiny

Author's notes: RK doesn't belong to me, neither does YYH, which this will be a cross over with, just only latter on.

Corny title, I know, but, I'm watching Legend of the Crystals, based of Final Fanasty, and the crystal part just came. Any way, this story is an AU, and well, its strange, to what I think any way.

And for the reviewers of Resident Vampire, I'll continue it as soon as I can get on the school's computers and see if the files I made last year are still there... and, from the first few tries, I couldn't sign on at all... they have a new way on how they want us to sign on, and its not all much fun.

Any way, on with the prologue.

~*~*~*~*

The wind says trouble, thought a young man as he watched the sea crash against the cliff rocks below him. He turned, his long cloak blowing in the soft breeze as he left the cliff side slowly walking to his small cottage home hidden in the forest.

The wind never told him this before, and so he was worried. His lips set into a thin line, black eyes with brows furrowed, concentrating on the information the mysterious wind gave him. It didn't happen like all the others, this time it came to him suddenly, not after hours of meditating at the cliff side to hear the ancient wisdom of the wind. The troubled voice of the wind chilled him to the bone, telling of nothingness coming if a child wasn't raised to mate with the child of the darkness... it was confusing and troubling the more he thought about it.

Nothing has been going right since Lady Tasashi's child was taken... he thought. The Queen's child was suppose to be the most powerful warrior in the world, the one that would be able to tame the wild child that the evil of the world spawn... But all that information came from the insane old woman's mouth that disrupted the shower of gifts upon the young prince.

~FLASH BACK~

"The child will grow to be a powerful warrior--strongest in all the world, and will face the challenge of destroying the evil our own hearts have created. He will fall in love with the spawn of this evil--and she will return these feelings along with the will to die at his own hand to protect his very life! --this country--no the world!--will then gain the leader it has always wanted!"

"Shut up you old woman! There is no need for your warning of doom at our happy occasion!" cried out the king as he signaled for the guards to take the woman away. The queen was hugging her baby child to her chest, her violet eyes full of fear and worry. The old woman's words had deeply affected her.

"No! You cannot fight destiny! The two will love and prosper! Or the world as you know it will be swallowed by darkness for ever!" The old woman said, quite calmly, as she was dragged from the hall and out of the castle.

~END FLASH BACK~

He didn't know where she was taken, but he was sure that it was no place for anyone sane. Suppressing a shiver, he stopped at the sound of a twig snapping. Looking about, he sensed the ki of a demon. Putting his hand to the sword at his side, he was prepared to draw at a moments notice.

"You there, believe?" came the croon of an old woman as she stepped out into the clearing, making herself visible. Realization hit him; it was the woman who disrupted the celebration. "Do you believe?"

"Believe what?" He replied, taking notice of the small bundle in her arms.

"The words of the white wind, telling of the darkness if this one and milady's child do not wed and live." So, the child in her arms was the young prince. She had taken him.

"Yes, yes, but the time is not for questions. You must raise the boy so he can live his destiny! You must do so, teach him your sword style, teach him listen to the wind. Help him awaken the power sleeping within him so that he can help those in need! Do so, please!"

"All right." He didn't mean to say it, the words just came, but, he knew that the answer was right.

AN: If any one has any idea on how the "teacher" is, tell me in a review and you'll see in the next chapter, I don't really want to offer any thing other author's might do because, well, I don't just know, but I'll tell you in the next chapter if you can do any part in this story, or what ever it is. But, I'm pretty sure every one knows who it is. ^.~

Also, can you tell me if there is any grammar/spelling mistakes? I had my sister read it, but, she's just as horrible of a speller as I am (though, I am better at it then her).

Please review my story, I would be very grateful.

Thank you Susan for proofreading this chapter and all the others.
