Disclaimer: Not mine. Don't sue.
AN: Well, this fic originated by my idea of creating a Marmalade Boy/Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne fusion. However, it quickly escalated into something much more dark and haunting. It soon became a strange tale of how one eliminates darkness when it already has gained control, and of the delicate balance of light and darkness. So read on.
Do I sound like a textbook here? -_-;;;;
Prologue
Destiny is never one to be trifled with. She always finds a way to bring about her future, and exacts a terrible revenge on those who stand in her way. It is known that her victims are no more that wretched souls who have long ago abandoned the hope of life.
Destiny is not God's creation, nor is she alone. She is the sister of Hate, daughters of the fallen angel Lucifer, created by him to stand against Love and Freedom, God's beautiful daughter. The two are of similar power, and, as such, are the polar opposites of each other. Love is the very essence of goodwill and purity, of everything good and right, while Hate is the queen of vengeance and spite, evil and dark. The two have long been at war with each other, fighting to eliminate the other from existence. However, they each fought in different ways. Love cast herself into different mortal forms, fighting off Hate's influence on humans. Hate merely stayed in the background, a dark shadow in the minds of men. Hate made humans stray form the light, deceiving them to think that their horrible actions were in the right.
The two have fought against each other since they were created, and will continue to do so, until either one or both is eliminated.
However, this fighting soon got out of hand. Love's latest crusade as the noble Jeanne d'Arc had both failed and succeeded. She had loosened Hate's control over the mortal realm of Britain, but she had been killed and she was still weak from the battle of spirits. Love was immobilized for the next few centuries. Hate refused to fight with her opponent crippled. She swore that she would fight Love in person next time, but she still influenced minds in the human world.
So, God and the Devil made the first and last pact between them.
God took the soul of the first human he had created, Adam, and fused that soul with His power. Lucifer did likewise with his most corrupted human soul, and infused it with utter darkness. They held these souls in their care, nurturing them and feeding them power, until the time that Love and Hate could begin their fights again. So, when Love and Hate prepared themselves to cast their souls into human form, God and the Devil got ready, too. The two daughters went into the mortal realm to be born mortal. And God and Lucifer cast the souls they had cared for into humans, as well. These two beings, one good and one evil, would be drawn to their "mate", or the one aligned with the same supernatural power. So Love and Hate would have to moderate their fights because they held something else dear to their hearts, now. It was rather ironic that Love was to be chained by her namesake.
But something happened that they did not intend.
They had forgotten Destiny and Freedom, the lesser children. Angered at being forgotten, they conspired and threw the timeline out of order. Love and her "mate" were thrown far apart by unstoppable means, and Hate and her "mate" were cut off from the Devil's control.
And so Destiny created a new fate for the world.
This is where our story begins, at the cleaving of the known path…
