Summary: A thief and a princess ... Dark/Riku.
If there were any mistakes, I'm sorry ...
Chapter 1
"Stop that thief!"
Everyone turned to the direction. A group of strong men was chasing after a dark fellow. He was jumping from one roof to another. Before anyone could get any closer, he had disappeared in the moonlight ...
-
"We must think of a plan to get him!" said Tanaka Harada, the King of Gendou as he slammed his fist on the table. He was in a meeting with the dukes and merchant and they were discussing about the phantom thief who had stolen many valuables from the dukes and merchants such as portraits. It had been two years since he appeared and no one had managed to catch him or even know his identity. Tanaka knew that he had to find some ways to catch him or else it would trouble more people.
Wearily, he sat on his chair as the meeting dragged on. If only his intelligent wife was here ... Yes, his wife had passed away a year ago, leaving him with their twin daughters. Specking of them, Tanaka felt like he had forgotten something important. He slapped his forehead as he remembered. It was their birthday.

Riku Harada was looking out from her balcony at the sea. The wind swept her reddish brown hair away from her face, revealing her wondering brown eyes. Today was her 16th birthday. Any girl would be excited about it. But not her! Riku knew that there would be a ball tonight just like every other year. She had to force herself to wear a fluffy dress and danced with a stranger.
"This is not going to be my day," Riku sighed.
She walked to her dressing table where there was a necklace with a small ruby diamond. It was shinning brightly as the evening sun shone on it. She picked it up and touched the diamond.
'Flashback'
"Riku-hime! Where are you?"
A ten years old Riku ignored her nanny as she continued to walk deeper into the wood. She remembered there was a place where beautiful white flowers grew.
"Should I turn right?" thought Riku.
Before she could move a step forward, she heard a low growl. She turned to the sound and saw a big grey wolf staring hungrily at her. It was walking slowly towards her, ready to pounce. Riku ran quickly as fast as her leg could carry her without knowing where she was going. Soon she came to a dead end.
The wolf was coming closer. Riku quickly picked up a nearby wood and hit him hard. She was not going to give up yet. Since she was such a small girl, it did not make a big difference as the angry wolf just shook the pain away. It pounced at her. She closed her eyes, waiting for the attack. Suddenly, she felt herself being lifted up.
Riku opened her eyes blurry and stared at the stranger's dark purple eyes.
"It's going to be alright."
After hearing it, she fainted, being exhausted from the earlier saga and her shock.
-
"Riku-sama! Wake up!"
Riku groaned and slowly opened her eyes to see her nanny looking worriedly at her. Just as she was about to ask what happened, memories of the wolf and the stranger rushed through her head.
She felt something on her palm and looked at it.
It was a necklace with a ruby diamond.
'End of flashback'
"It must have been from the stranger." Riku thought.
"I hope I can meet him someday."
What she did not know was that tonight's ball was going to change her life.
