Author's Note: This chapter was fun to write. Partly cause I've always wanted to see what would happen if Tsubasa and Soichiro got together and how Yukino would feel. Well, have fun reading! Thank you all for all the reviews!

And so it began, the battle to win the fair prince's heart. Was it one sided love for them, or was it true? Neither of them knew their true intentions, nor did they respect the other's opinion. With that, a love war began.

Soichiro awoke the next morning to a grey day. It wasn't because of the thundering clouds or the pouring rain, but because of the fact he had a girlfriend just to make another girl jealous. He put his head into his hands and moaned, "What was I thinking?" He got up, got dressed and walked downstairs just to face the sight of a soaking wet Tsubasa.

"Soichiro! I ran all the way down here just to be with you on this stormy day!" Tsubasa panted running up to him and tackling him to the ground. She kissed him on the cheek and whispered, "I love it when a man protects me from thunder." Soichiro pushed Tsubasa off and said, "Sorry….honey…..but I have to uhh…go talk to a council man about….uh…that cherry law…." He quickly found some random person and started going on and on about cherries.

"I'll wait for you, my love!" Tsubasa yelled as Soichiro closed the two doors leading to the royal hallway. After standing there for a few minutes, her heart racing, she decided to go explore the castle.

"Oh wow! A corridor just for my beloved's use!" She giggled after saying my beloved, happy that she could call him that. She continued exploring various rooms and stairways, eyes wide in fascination.

"I know that my plan is working! Sure, he's using forced love right now, but eventually, he'll start to love me for me and start hating that other woman," she laughed a little evilly before spotting Soichiro down the hallway. She began running toward him when she heard him say to himself, "Oh, I wish Yukino were here. I can barely stand that Tsubasa after what she did three years ago," Tsubasa stopped, hidden behind a suit of armor, "I don't think I could ever have a relationship with her after what happened then." He continued talking to himself as Tsubasa sadly crept away and hid in a closet, crying silent tears.

"I thought that my plan would work!" She said putting her head in between her knees, sniffling, "It was three years ago! I didn't mean to hurt her! It was a total accident! She fell into the river by accident!" She cried louder and yelled out, "But I can't even make him understand! I can't even make him stop loving that woman! Why? I thought I was loved by everyone!" She wiped her eyes off and decided to continue this relationship. Who knows? Maybe Tsubasa could find a way to make Soichiro love her! Maybe there was hope for her yet!

She walked down the stairs into the entrance hall and saw Soichiro.

"Oh, it's you Tsubasa," He said, "I was just looking for you."

"I think I'm going to go home now. I shouldn't have barged in like I did," Tsubasa said looking at the ground. Soichiro heard her sadness and decided to try and cheer her up, since it was part of his nature. He went behind her, put his arms around her, and whispered, "Why don't we go to town, just the two of us?" Tsubasa looked up at him and said, "Really? I thought you had to discuss some cherry law?" Soichiro smiled and took her by the hand and went outside.

"Where do you want to go? There's the park, lake, café, shopping, we can go anywhere!" Soichiro said as they walked down the cobblestone street. Tsubasa shrugged before she noticed the candy store, her sanctuary. She let go of his hand and dashed to the window, gluing her face to the glass as she saw all of the sugary delights. Soichiro joined her before escorting her inside.

"What can I get, Soichiro?" She asked licking her lips at all the goodness. Soichiro gave her a bag of coins and said, "Anything your heart desires! I'll wait outside, have fun!" He waved to her and stood outside, watching the crowds.

"Your Highness?" A woman's voice said. Soichiro turned and saw Yukino holding a basket of eggs. She smiled and said, "I didn't think I'd see you here!" Soichiro did his best not to smile and said, "I'm here with my girlfriend, Tsubasa." Yukino got a sad look on her face and said, "Oh, so I guess the rumors are true," She looked at Tsubasa as she came out with two buckets filled to the top with candy and said, "Well, I better be going. You two have fun!" She waved and walked across the street

"Soichiro? I got you some candy!" Tsubasa said giving him a bucket, pretending she didn't see Yukino. Soichiro ignored her and thought to himself, "If I want her I have to work for it." He grabbed Tsubasa's shoulder, leaned down, and kissed her right on the lips.

"Oh…my…god! The prince is kissing Tsubasa Shibahime!" A girl shrieked. Yukino turned around, saw the sight, and saw Soichiro staring at Yukino straight in the eye.

"Do you want me now, Yukino?" He thought as he stopped kissing Tsubasa.
