Author's Note: Really sorry I haven't updated. And sorry if the story seems it's going to fast. I'm just trying to get Rika, Aya, and Tsubaki into the story. They should be making their appearence in chapter 9 if everything goes as planned.

The next morning, Yukino arose with a feeling that she had conquered the world. Soichiro was in a conference today, so the world was free for her to take charge! She put on her favorite work dress, tied a bandana in her hair, and after a quick check over in the mirror she walked out and smiled as she went into town.

It didn't take long for Yukino to notice all the girls were glaring at her. She still smiled, a bit nervously and waved at two girls. One girl whispered to another and they burst out laughing, and Yukino's hand shot down. She went into the bar and sat down, getting a glass of apple fizz.

"I don't see what's wrong! It's as if they all hate me," Yukino said before taking a sip. The barkeeper looked at one of the bar maids who was sending Yukino death looks and said, "Well, you must've done something wrong. What else could get all the girls to hate you so badly?"

"I really don't know. Alls I've done is go out with Soichiro!" Yukino said putting her head down.

"You're too busy playing around with him. Since then, you've become little miss tramp," The bar maid sneered as she picked up the glass next to Yukino. She went on, "Personally, I think any girl who thinks she's in the right of mind to steal a royal from another girl is downright dirt." Yukino stared in shock after the bar maid and turned to the bar keeper.

"I've never 'played around' with Soichiro! How could I be this tramp?" Yukino slammed her fist onto the table and said, "I didn't steal him from Tsubasa! Not at all!" The bar keeper looked at Yukino and said, "Well, it seems like you have to clean up after your mess. Start by finding Miss Shibahime, she seems like a person who'd start this. Though good luck finding her, she's been gone for a while ever since that nasty breakup…." Yukino laid down a gold coin on the wooden table and left.

"If I was Tsubasa, where would I be…?" Yukino muttered looking around town. She went to the food district and looked in all the shops.

"HI—YAH!" A girl yelled tackling Yukino to the ground.

"You stole him from me! You little wench! I hate you. I hate you so much!" The voice said, clearing out to be from Tsubasa. Yukino kicked Tsubasa off and stood up.

"Why you little…" Yukino said. She stopped before she punched Tsubasa and took a deep breath. She smiled and calmly asked, "Why are you mad at me, Tsubasa?"

"Because you stole the prince from me you bitch!" Tsubasa screamed running toward Yukino. Yukino placed her hand on top of Tsubasa's forehead so Tsubasa couldn't reach her.

"Now let me ask, didn't you tell Soichiro that he should go out with you so he could get me?" Yukino asked. Tsubasa froze as Yukino went on, "Didn't you tell him that'd it make me jealous? I say that he thought it was just some big plot and that you were just trying to help him, but you must really love him right?" Tsubasa's eyes teared up as she turned and ran down an ally. Yukino followed and found Tsubasa crying. Yukino knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, but if you really wanted to have Soichiro, then maybe you should've been more upfront with your feelings instead of making this confusing plot," Tsubasa nodded as she cried some more. She looked up at Yukino and sniffled, "You're not as bad as the other girls say you are," Yukino smiled and Tsubasa stood up, "Thanks. I guess you're right, but it's too late to win him back now, I'm sorry for being so mean," She walked out of the ally as Yukino followed.

"So I guess you're wondering who started this all?" Tsubasa asked rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah, it'd be nice if girl's stopped calling me a tramp," Yukino said as a girl tried to trip her.

"Well, I heard from another girl who knew a girl at the ball who said it was Lady Maho, who's staying her for a few months on political stuff. I wish I could help you find her, but I've got more important stuff to do instead of helping you with your stupid problems," Tsubasa said.

"Do you know what she looks like?"

"Nope. Never seen her. Well, have fun searching, I guess," Tsubasa shrugged and ran off, leaving Yukino alone.

"Maho…Lady Maho, why would she want to ruin my reputation?" Yukino asked sitting down in a chair.
