I have discovered something. I can't understand Scottish people when they talk. No offense to anyone that is Scottish! I just can't understand you. XD I actually bet it would be hard for some to understand me so... Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! About time I update right? So, lets see how our friendly kitty-cats react to seeing Tigerclaw shall we?

Disclaimer: I own nothing my duckies!

Enjoy and vote on the new poll on my profile.

On the outside Tigerclaw showed confidence as he scrambled down the incline with his new clanmates. On the inside he was a mess.

He was still unsure of his decision in becoming the deputy of ShadowClan. He was still afraid that some of the clan born ShadowClan's cats had not warmed up to him. He also had to attend every gathering unless something important came up. That led to him seeing Darkstripe. Which also led him to seeing... Firepaw.

He frowned. What was he going to do about Firepaw? He was generally a cat the didn't care what others thought of him. Yes, Firepaw was special. Ever since Lionheart had asked him those questions, something in the back of his mind was telling him that he was missing something. That it was so obvious, he just wasn't looking in the right place.

He stopped as he watched Blackstar jump up to sit beside the other leaders. Bluestar was giving him a death glare while the other two leaders looked confused and interested.

Blackstar started.

"Quiet! Our clan has been doing extremely well," he boasted, "We have plenty of fresh-kill and there have been plenty of kits and apprentices named and apprenticed. I have named my deputy: Tigerclaw."

Many gasps could be heard from the ThunderClan cats, who had gathered into one group.

Bluestar's eyes widened and she let out a soft hiss. "You can not be serious, Blackstar! Tigerclaw betrayed ThunderClan! He even murdered a WindCLan cats for StarClan's sake!"

ThunderClan cats yowled out their anger as RiverClan and WindClan gasped in shock. ShadowClan showed no emotion, having heard the true story of the monster from Tigerclaw himself.

Tallstar stepped up and meowed softly. "Is this true, Tigerclaw? Are you the cause of Lexiflight's death? My only *daughter?"

Tigerclaw looked up with pleading eyes. This was a gathering. If he told the truth at this moment, chaos would ensue. "Tallstar," he said softly, "the death of your daughter was not necessary; but it happened." He said no more and hung his head.

Bluestar hissed out in anger and leaned on her haunches, as if ready to jump from the rock and attack Tigerclaw. Which is exactly what she did.

A streak of blue/gray was all anyone saw as Bluestar raked Tigerclaw across the muzzle and over his left eye.

He yowled and let out a rough hiss. He stood back up and leaped at Bluestar.

The hissing cats tangled and continued to attack each other. As RiverClan and WindClan stood in shock, ShadowClan cats and ThunderClan cats slowly started spitting insults at each other. They soon followed the example of Bluestar and Tigerclaw.

Chaos continued for a few loud moments, until a shiver went through the spines of the clan cats.

A large, gray cloud slowly made its way across the full moon. The natural light that had lit the gathering was now gone.

Many cats stopped fighting, though Tigerclaw and Bluestar both continued on with their spat.

ThunderClan and ShadowClan cats watched in astonishment as the cloud past by the moon when they had stopped but not when the ShadowClan's deputy and the ThunderClan's leader continued to fight.

The two cats jumped apart, both bleeding heavily from scratches and gashes. Bluestar looked worse, with several bleeding gashes on her stomach and back. Tigerclaw had one gash on his flank but the rest of his injuries consisted of large scratches, most of which would most likely become scars.

Bluestar, having caught her breath first, was ready to pounce on her ex-clan mate again when a cry came from the crowd.

"Stop!"

Bluestar and Tigerclaw bother turned to see a scratched up Firepaw.

"You need to stop! Won't StarClan get mad? Didn't you see that huge cloud? You two have to stop!"

Bluestar hissed at the tom. "Stay out of this!" She turned and launched herself once more at Tigerclaw.

Tigerclaw glanced at Firepaw and saw extreme conflict in his eyes. He looked back at Bluestar and jumped out of the way. "I will not fight you any longer."

Bluestar widened her eyes in surprise at this. "Why are you backing down?"

Tigerclaw glanced at a confused Firepaw before replying, "There is no reason for us to fight. Firepaw is right. StarClan would be disappointed in us."

Bluestar looked at Tigerclaw then at Firepaw. Realization came unto her. "You like him..."

Tigerclaw's eyes widened at Bluestar's sentence. "What!"

"You like him! You like an apprentice! Even worse! You are in love with a tom!" She had a confident, disgusted look on her muzzle.

Tigerclaw pulled his lips back into a snarl as the cats around them gasped and looked from him to Firepaw. "You have finally lost it Bluestar."

Blustar threw back her head and laughed. "No, Tigerclaw! It is you who has lost it!"

Tigerclaw glared at the leader before glancing at Firepaw. His orange ears were perked up in interest and his brown eyes shined in a strange light.

"Bluestar." Lionheart padded up behind Bluestar. "This gathering has gone too far. We must end it, now." Lionheart layed his bloodied tail on Bluestar's shoulder. He gave Tigerclaw a small nod.

Tigerclaw's eyes softened. Lionheart was helping him.

Bluestat huffed before glaring back at Tigerclaw. "Yes. Tigerclaw, you disgrace StarClan!" She motioned for the ThunderClan cats to follow her. One by on they passed him, spitting insults at him.

All but one. "Meet me in two day at the border."

Tigerclaw snapped up his head to see Firepaw walking away. He glanced back and nodded lsightly before running to catch up with his fellow clan mates.

He felt a tail touch his shoulder and turned back to find Raventalon looking at him. "Are you...?"

Tigerclaw nodded at the unasked question.

Raventalon stiffened before nodding. "It is okay."

Tigerclaw smiled sadly at Raventalon and Icepaw, who had been listening to their short converstaion.

"Come on you two!" She mewed, "Blackstar has called us back."

The other three clans quickly embarked unto the trek back to their territories.

Tigerclaw padded next to Balckstar silently.

"You will be excepted by ShadowClan."

Tigerclaw looked at Blackstar. When Blackstar didn't look back at him he just smiled. "Thank you." He mumbled out as the made the trek home.

Gwarr! Okay, I actually don't think Tallstar had any kits so... that was just me throwing that it. Not beta'd... oh! And this chap was my dad's idea so give the old man some props! Remember! Vote on the poll or I will take even longer then I did this time to update!
