Disclaimer: ...okay, this is my first Magic Knight Rayearth fic since I've never had enough courage to write one and have dwelt on DBZ/SM crossover fics. Okay, so now here I am. I don't own Magic Knight Rayearth or its characters, Ithink Clamp owns them, ne? Oh well point is I don't own them. 

A/N: Alright, it's Hikaru/Lantis. I might bring Umi and Fuu in...demmo, I'm not sure if I should do seperate fics for each focused on them and whoever I decide to pair them up with or not, please tell me in your reviews!!!!

Crimson Shades

Prologue
By:
FireflyOfDeath

Hikaru looked around the empty corridors of the castle, it had gotten late and everyone was asleep. Hikaru sighed and began to hum a soft tune which echoed quietly off the walls. 
After wandering around many hallways she groaned in annoyance, and gently tugged at the ribbon which held her flaming hair in a tight braid. She closed her ruby eyes as she brushed her hair back into a high pony-tail. Currently she was wearing the nightgown that had come with the uhh....'hotel room' Mokona gave them. She walked on.

After ten minutes of walking and turning corners, Hikaru sat down giving her barefeet a rest. One thing registered itself clear in Hikaru's mind wich was, she was lost. Hikaru stifled a yawn. "What time is it?" she muttered to herself more then anything. Right now she just wanted to be in her comfortable bed, asleep. With fluffly pillows...warm blankets...

"It's passed midnight..." a low voice answered from the shadows.

Hikaru turned chibi-neko; y'know with her cat ears and tail?, 'mreoow' She squinted through the darkness barely able to make out a figure...a very tall figure. 'It's gotta be either Lafarga...or...Lantis.' She thought to herself. "Who's there?" 

The figure stepped into the light which was cast by a window which brimmed over with the light of the moon. It was indeed Lantis, full-clad in black armor. 

"Lantis...what're you doing up at this hour?" She asked losing her 'neko uniform'. 

"I should be asking you the same question"

"ehh...I thought it was a nice night for a walk, and I wasn't tired..." She thought for a moment before sweatdropping and adding. "Then I got lost." 

"That's easy to believe...it is a big palace..."

"Um if you don't mind, or if you want to...um um um, can you show me the way to the room Guru Clef gave me, Umi, and Fuu while we stayed in Cephiro?"

"Hai..."

"Arigatou Lantis!"

"it's not a problem."

As they walked down the halls (A/N: Lantis knowing exactly where to go) they started talking about a lot of different things. Currently Lantis was smiling at something Hikaru was saying when they reached the door to Hikaru's room.

"Thank you Lantis" Hikaru smiled up at him. "I had fun tonight Lantis, um see you tomorrow?"

Lantis looked at her (A/N: with those eyes that could melt the coldest heart... *sigh* oh, sorry! ^^')

"Of course, sleep well Magic Knight" Lantis began to walk off when Hikaru stopped him. 

"Um...Lantis? Hold on....uh....never mind...godd night, Lantis. ... ... ... ...Lantis, ...Umi, Fuu, and I are leaving Cephiro tomorrow, and we'll miss you all..." She tried to smile but her eyes were by now glittering with tears. 

Lantis looked at her, then knelt down to her height, he smiled. "Well then, ...Hikaru, I'll see you when you come to visit again....all of us will await your return." He kissed her forehead gently, turned, and walked away.

Hikaru blushed, then turned chibi-neko 'mreow' 'I wonder why he did that?' She shrugged and walked inside. She quietly crept into bed where Mokona was still sleeping, and she drifted into a peaceful slumber filled with peaceful dreams.
