Prologue.
Life is a spinning wheel it has been said. With each spoke a tale to be told. Now keep silent along the backs and I'll tell you one of these tales. A story as enchanting as romance itself. A tale of pride and power and treasure, about evil and greed. But mostly it is about love.

A young teenaged boy stepped out of an old mansion in Tokyo, Japan. He had sun blonde hair in a Surian hairstyle, (Two strips of hair down to right above the chin the rest pulled back in a ponytail.) a golden brown tan and crystal blue eyes which most of the time you could read like a book. He was tall for his age and uncannily skinny. The boy leaned on the ancient doorway and peered down the misty alleyway. Remembering the way him and the aged mansions occupants had met and gotten where at the moment was home to them.
They were pirates. Space pirates to be exact. The boy Hotsuma was one of the three Catarians in this group.
******** Catarians were a type with extrodenairy powers. Like the ability to float and form lightswords and energy balls called blasts. And of course their namesake. Catarians were a catlike person what with their catish structure and agility. Also they had the ability to transform into a certain and selected number of cats the basic limit to the number of selected cats they could turn into was three. Another power they had was an age limit. Boys aged to 19 and stayed that way physically all their lives yet they could live to 10,000! Females were the same only they aged to 18. Yet unfortunately the planet was destroyed. In exactly less than 24 hours the beautiful rugged desert planet,Cataria was turned into a dead planet. Anyone who hadn't been killed in the attack was tortured to death on Juria. Out of more than 700,000 people who had been slaughtered mercilessly only 8 lived to have that memory haunt them for the rest of their days. All eight were children some of whose parents or friends dyed in their arms. Of these eight were the three older brothers and sister of the heir to the throne, their cousin, the son of the ancients Leranz, The two daughters of two famous warriors, And the last is a mystery person some say he is the heir to the throne, the prince yet others say he's just another civilian that shared the same name. But what about the fact that he's the most powerful person in the universe? That and the boys past remain a mystery all we know is his name. Hotsuma.
******** Many weeks ago the pirates were being chased by the Galaxy Police when Krystal the Arcrean had tried to use her magic to speed them up, wouldn't you know she accidentally cut the engines forcing them to make a emergency landing with Ryoko's cabbit /ship Rio-Oki. Ryoko's cyan hair put up in a spiky Catarian hairstyle and mischievous golden eyes made her seem like a daring and The-devil-may-care type of person which ironically she is. She is the second Catarian in this mixture of pirates. Blade, Hotsuma's best friend and right hand man- or rather teen, was the third of the Catarians. With his dirty blonde hair with white blonde sun streaks, deep golden tan, fang earring, light muscled build and bright green eye's he was any girls dream man. Which he obviously knew and was proud of it. Still reluctant to understand why Ryoko was no interested he flirted whenever possible. The four and a cabbit made their way thorough the winding streets of Tokyo to The house of the Eternal Pledge. A legendary house of romance. Exhausted and stranded seeing as the cabbit needed recovering, the four pirates made this place home.
A scream followed shortly by an " Blade! Did you curse the showers again!!!!!" jerked Hotsuma from his thoughts. The day had started. Another day of pickpoketing and dodging rotting stairs. Hotsuma turned just in time to see a but-naked girl with a towel wrapped loosely around her chasing Blade and waving a spatula in the air.
" Come back here you fifthly Catarian scum!!" howled the girl chasing Blade towards the door.
" AAHHHH!! Crazy girl pirate Help!! Krystal stop it!!!!! I'm soooorrryyyyyyyy!" yelled the Boy leaping out the doorway and heading for the alleyway followed closely by Krystal. The two disappeared into the fog along with the screaming banging yelping and blasting. Hotsuma shook his head smiling. A very drowsy Ryoko appeared beside him.
" That Krs and Blade?" yawned Ryoko stretching lazily. Hotsuma nodded.
" Yep. Apparently he bewitched the showers again." Hotsuma answered. Ryoko rolled her eyes.
" Well should we fix breakfast?" asked Ryoko leaning on Hotsuma's arm. Hotsuma winced slightly at the word we.
" Uhh. I'll make breakfast you set the table." Hotsuma replied. Ryoko laughed.
" Oh that hurt! Com'on let's go." She said. Hotsuma's looked towards the alleyway. Ryoko followed his gaze.
" I wonder how far they'll go this time." She asked. Hotsuma smirked.
" My bet's 20 yen they get outta town." Ryoko looked up at him incredulously.
" You have a lot of faith in them!" she remarked as the two walked in the kitchen.
" I know'em. Now what're we having?"
" I don't know what do you want?"
" I was asking you."
" Well I'm asking you"
" Pancakes" Hotsuma said the first thing that came into his head.
" Can you make them?"
" Looks easy."
" Well can I help?" Ryoko asked coyly.
" Uhh. I guess.."
" Good now where's the box!?" Hotsuma gulped he knew he would regret this but.
End ye part 1.
