I'm moving quickly through this section of the series.
Since one of my favorite reviewers squirms every time he reads
about Yuu in girl's clothing.
-chuckled-



As the two romantic little birds continued their private dance on the elegant marble floors, wisped into their own world. Just the two of them.

A guard tapped the little miss on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, Empress. But the Prince has requested a word with your companion." His eyes darted from her to Yuu.

Knots formed in his stomach.

"Whatever for?" Tianzi, of course, was reluctant to let him go. There were so many possibilities.

What if they had found out Yuu wasn't a girl? What if they found out he was with the Black Knights? What if she never saw him again? So many 'what ifs'.

"It's alright, Empress." Yuu gave a bow before moving to stand beside the guard. "I'll be back soon."

Tianzi was left to watch as they disappeared into the crowd of people.


The room Yuu was brought to wasn't what he expected. Perhaps an office, or even the dungeon. But not, in the young man's wildest dreams, would he be led to a bedroom. Moreover, a Prince's bedroom.

"Who's room is this?" Yuu forced a smile, though he was overly nervous just at the thought.

"Prince Schneizel."

Yuu's jaw dropped.

'Somebody kill me now.'

"I really think you've got the wrong person, sir." Yuu laughed anxiously as he pulled up his dress a tad bit, giving him more room to run. "I must get back to the Empress now." He made a bee-line for the door.

The guard pulled out a long sword, thrusting it out in front of the startled boy. "I'm afraid you'll be staying here."

"Now, now. Don't be like that, Raiko." Another male's voice purred.

Yuu felt his heart pop out of his chest.

"So miss Yuuki. I never got your last name at the party." Prince Schneizel almost appeared out of thin air.

Yuu turned around, hiding his smile behind the familiar paper fan. A smile that was anything, but kind. "I don't believe I even talked to you, Prince."

Prince Schneizel laughed, "I suppose you're right. So how about we start our little chat right now?" He moved to sit on the edge of the bed, patting the graceful sheets.

Yuu forced himself to bow to the royal man. "Terribly sorry, but I must return to the party."

"What's the rush?" He was quick.

Prince Schneizel was already standing in front of him, his fingers twisting one of Yuu ponytails in an affectionate manner. Yuu felt sick. Schneizel leaned his face down to the shorter boy's, "I find himself so very captivated by you, miss Yuuki."

I find myself very disgusted by you, prince frog.
