Notes: I did post this before but I didn't like how I started it so I replaced it.

The fire crackled merrily, the party that sat around it each wielding a stick of some sort, pierced on which was a fluffy white marshmallow. A boy with greyish lavender hair and violet eyes leaned over towards a girl with brown hair and turqoise eyes, "Are you enjoying yourself hime-chan?"

The whisper in her ear sent a shiver down her spine, she turned to the other and smiled warmly. "Very much so prince," the blush that spread across the boy's pale cheeks only intensified when she kissed him appreciatively on the cheek. He smiled warmly back at her.

"Hime-chan," the girl turned to look to her other side to see another boy with orange hair and passionate red eyes, "this…is for you." He brought a package out of his pocket and handed it to the girl at the same time she was presented with a similar package from the previous boy.

"Oh, what's this, you didn't have to get me anything, both of you," she clasped her hands, the two packages still unopened in her lap. "The fact that you're all here together is enough for me, I couldn't possibly compare all this with what I did for you on Valentines.

"Silly, silly hime-chan," a blond haired boy said from the other side of the first boy, "you always put other people's feelings first, that's one of the things we love about you."

The orange haired boy leaned over again, "I think you should open your presents now." She nodded and smiled as she unwrapped them both with scrupulous precision, from each she pulled a single crimson ribbon. "Do you like them?"

"Very much so, they're really pretty," she gasped slightly as each was pulled out of her hands by the one that didn't give it to her. She relaxed when she realised what they were doing, each took a strand of her hair and tied it up in the crimson ribbons.

"Now sissy is going to love Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun," said an orange haired girl this time.

The flaxen haired boy next to her turned and asked, "What do you mean Kissa-chan?"

"Japanese legends talk of red ribbons that made a link between future couples that only gods and spirits could see," the small girl explained smiling at the first girl.

"Then clearly there is a rd ribbon between me and my Kyo-koi," a girl with cropped brown hair jumped up suddenly and wound her arms enthusiastically around the neck of the orange haired boy who panicked and began trying to pry her off him while she declared her undying love.

Suddenly they all stopped, the fire flickered and nearly went out as a cold air swept around the campfire.

…---…---

Akito sat up in bed, disturbed by what he'd seen. Yuki…his Yuki…doting on that silly little girl, calling her 'hime-chan', the way they all looked at her like she was some sort of Goddess. A bead of sweat ran down his forehead, "No," he muttered darkly, "I am the head of this family, I am their God, they cannot turn against me." And yet, those words that had so far brought him so much reassurance now seemed ineffective. Turqoise eyes stilled shined in the back of his mind, haunting him, warning him that that girl would have to go. That girl, the one they called Tohru Honda.

Well that's the prologue...review please and I might just update BEFORE I go to France tomorrow, or else you'll need to wait a week.
