Rise of the Dark Angel
DG32173
This is the start of a new series. I hope it turns out good. Though, I'm not sure exactly how I'll write this story. I know there are going to be at least three fics in this series. And, crazy as it sounds, I got the idea for the third fic before I got the idea for the first two. And by the time this is posted, I will already be several chapters into the story so I can try to post regularly and still work on the story. Well, someone do the disclaimer.

And how she had found love in the most unlikely of places. (Hiei/OC)

Prologue
Childhood Meetings and Running Away
"Princess Lunetta! Where'd you go? PRINCESS LUNETTA!" one of her maids calls out from far away.
The ten-year-old princess doesn't respond. She's hiding in one of the many secret passages in the castle and is running toward the other end, which will let her out in an old abandoned temple several miles from the castle.
Soon, she reaches the exit and pushes the door open slowly, so that the Japanese style tracks that help the door open don't squeak from disuse. She moves the tapestry and nearly runs into a slightly taller demon. They stop and stare at each other for a few moments. She notices that the demon has eyes the same kind of red that the crimson carpets are at the palace and that his black, spiky hair has a white starburst.
"Who are you?" he demands.
"Lunetta," she says softly. "And who are you?"
He cocks his head to the side as if considering her question. "Hiei," he answers. "Can I call you Luna?"
"Sure," she says, nodding, and moves to go around him. He watches her cautiously. She notices this. "Is something wrong?" she asks.
He blinks. "No," he says shortly.
Lunetta shrugs. "You don't have to tell me if you don't wanna," she says. He looks at her strangely. "Well, I gotta go," she says.
"Wait," he says. She turns her ice colored eyes back towards him. "Where do you live?" he asks curiously.
She freezes. "There's a tunnel behind that tapestry. If you go through it, then you'll be in my bedroom," she answers shortly.
He looks slightly startled at her sharp reply. He nods. "Can I see you tonight?" he asks.
She looks at him, startled. "Why?" she asks.
He looks at his feet. "I don't have many friends, and I was wondering if you wanna be my friend," he says softly.
Luna smiles and touches his arm gently. He looks at her, surprised by the sudden touch. "Sure, I'll be your friend. I don't have many friends either," she responds just as softly. He smiles slightly. "I'll see you tonight, Hiei," she says, smiling at him. He nods and smiles back.
That night at about ten
Luna is sitting on her windowsill and looking outside at the moon when she hears the secret panel open. She turns a smiling face at Hiei. He looks around the room in amazement. "You live in the castle? Are you the princess?" he asks.
She lowers her eyes. "Yeah," she says softly. "I don't wanna be a princess. I just wanna be a normal person."
Hiei looks at her oddly. "But you can have whatever you want," he says, confused.
"That's just it. I wanna work for what I want, not get it just because I want it," she says, scowling. "I'm gonna runaway soon." She looks at him after she says this. "Can I stay with you, Hiei?"
He looks startled, the lowers his own eyes. "But I'm a thief," he says softly.
Luna cocks her head to the side. "But I don't care," she says. He looks at her, shock written all over his face. "We're friends, right?" she asks. He nods slightly. "Friends don't care about what each other is or does, because that is what makes that person who they are."
He smiles slightly. "Okay, you can stay with me," he says, happy to have someone who likes him for who he is. He's also happy that he won't be alone for much longer.
"I'll run away in one week at midnight. Meet me at the other end of the tunnel, okay?" she says.
"Okay, I'll wait there," he says, smiling at the young princess.
One week later
Luna slips silently through the secret panel, carrying two small sacks. One of the sacks is on her back, the other is in her arms. When she is through the panel and it closes, she turns and seals it shut with her psychic powers, so that the panel can never be used again.
She runs quickly through the tunnel and slows as she nears the end of it. She silently slips through the hidden door, moving the tapestry out of her way, and sees Hiei there waiting for her. She smiles at him and hands him one of the sacks. He looks at it curiously. "It is food and clothing," she answers to the unspoken question. "I'm gonna seal the door shut so that it can't be used again."
He nods and watches as she seals the door shut the same way she had the panel in her room. "What are you gonna wear? Anyone would be able to realize that those clothes belong to a princess," he says.
"That's why I grabbed some of the servants clothing that is so old that it has holes and stuff. And I can use some of the soot in the fireplace over there to rub on my face and arms and the clothes so that I'll look like a street kid," she says. "And we can sell these clothes at the black market."
"You have this all thought out, don't you?" he asks, impressed. "Have you come up with a name to be called? I can't go around calling you by your real name. The guards who'll be looking for you will recognize it immediately."
Now she looks thoughtful. "How about Shadow Silversong?" she asks.
"That's a cool name," Hiei says, smiling. "From now on, you're Shadow Silversong."
She smiles back. "We better get to work with the disguise. I wanna be as far from the palace as we can get by the next sunset," Shadow says.
"Okay," Hiei says. He politely turns so that she can get changed and then helps her look like a street kid. They mess up her hair and cover it and her face, arms, and clothes in the soot and dirt in the fireplace. Now, Princess Lunetta Avian is no longer, and Shadow Silversong is born from the one formerly the princess.
That's it for the prologue. Chapter 1 will be up soon … I hope.
