A/N: Howdy-do! I wanted to be the first one to write a Charlie Bone/YYH crossover. Well, I think I'm one of the first… I wonder… Oh well! It's partly inspired by Long Live Asato Kido's "In the Shadows of Psychics and Wizards" (which is awesome, you should read it) and from re-reading Midnight for Charlie Bone. This prologue thingy is taken straight from the book, except for the last part, so I don't own it. I hope you enjoy! And if you don't, well TOO BAD, I'm writing it anyway.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own YYH or Charlie Bone. I wish I owned Kaname Hagiri… I own a homemade plushie of him tho!! -huggles plushie-

Long, long ago a king arrived from the North. They called him the Red King because he wore a scarlet cloak and his shield was emblazoned with a burning sun. It was said that he came out of Africa. This king was also a marvelous magician and each of his ten children inherited a small part of his power. But when the king's wife died, five of his children turned to wickedness and the other five, seeking escape the corruption that surrounded their evil siblings, left their father's castle forever.

Brokenhearted, the Red King vanished into the forests that covered the Kingdoms of the North. He did not go alone, however, for he was followed by three faithful cats—leopards, to be precise. We must never forget the cats!

The manifold and fabulous powers of the Red King were passed down through his descendants, often turning up quite unexpectedly in someone who had no idea where they came from. This is what happened to Charlie Bone and to some of the children he met behind the grim, gray walls of Bloor's Academy.

This is what happened to six new students soon to arrive there; Kaname Hagiri, Asato Kido, Mitsunari Yanagisawa, Kiyoshi Mitari, Amanuma, and Yuu Kaitou.

A/N: Wheeeeeeeee! That was fun, all I had to do was copy from the book! No thinking at all! . This one's a bit short… I'll try and make the next really long, but knowing me I probly won't even come close. BTW, Hikari-chan (you know who you are), if you're reading this, YOU HAD BETTER REVIEW NOW or else I won't be getting you a good Christmas present. Don't forget, I know where you live. -bright smile- Review, please!!!
