Yame: HOORAY!!! We made it to chapter 13 yuppie!!

Tokono: let's get right into it desu!!!

Pepe & Daichi: HAI!!!

n o o n e liked having Porla as a Guardian! Sure they smiled and acted like they could stand being around her when they had to but in all truth they hated it greatly! Porla was selfish, demanding, stuck –up and rich but more than anything she didn't have a Guardian Character and that's what concerned the others gravely. Being a Guardian meant being different, it meant having a Guardian chara and protecting the student body from unfair school rules and treatment –not bossing people around and wearing the cool cape (although that could really be seen as an added bonus!)

"I need more tea over here!" Rolling his eyes, Sora leaned back in his seat and pulled a face causing Daisuke to chuckle as he ruffled his own messy hair and sighed. Chewing away on her lower lip, Yame shifted about continuously seeming a little uncomfortable as her eyes darted between Kenshin and the exit. Maiya seemed to pick up on the uneasiness of the redhead and quirked a brow as she leaned forward. "What's up Yame –chan?" She probed and green clashed with blue and Yame offered a wry smile to the older girl.

"I just remembered that I've got ballet today…and I really can't miss out today!" She exclaimed and Kenshin seemed to hear her and placed his pen down, "if it's that important –then you're excused Souma –san." He stated and grinning Yame popped up, snatched a scone and hooked her bag onto her arm. "Bye –bye!" She shouted as she disappeared out of the garden and Porla ran a hand through her hair and released a frustrated sigh. "She's really rather pathetic you know…and isn't she just a little too young to be a Guardian?"

This earned the attention of the other Guardians who had almost certainly heard the snobby brunette. "I dare you to say that again –oh and this time loud and clear so we can all hear it." Sora growled earning a curious glance from Maiya while Daisuke sat up straight and glared dangerously at the new Queen's Chair.

"Ryuma –san…we as Guardians respect one another greatly and I can assure you that Souma –san is of a lot of importance to this team." Kenshin stated curtly and Maiya agreed, "a lot more important than you are," she muttered blowing her hair out of her face. Porla flipped her hair over her shoulder before taking a sip out of her tea. "I was just asking –why do we even need a baby on our team anyway?"

Her question seemed to strike a nerve because Sora's right eye began to twitch and Daisuke had to bite on the inside of his cheek to control his temper. Maiya on the other hand wasn't so easily controlled, "just shut up okay! Don't act like you know her –like you know us because you don't! She's a great person and a hell of a lot more important to this team than you'll ever be!" She spat from where she had sprung up out of her chair and was glaring at the brunette dangerously. The garden was silent before Kenshin cleared his throat and everyone apart from Maiya and Porla turned to look at him.

"That's enough Tsukiyomi –san. Ryuma –san I'm sorry but if you're not going to respect the fellow Guardians you're going to have to ask you to leave." Porla stared with wide gold eyes at the King's Chair before she nodded slowly and rose to her feet. No one said a single word as she strutted down the steps but once she reached the bottom, she turned sharply on her heels and fixed them all with a dark glare.

"You'll be sorry you impeached Porla Ryuma from the Guardians!"

"Yea, yea, keep on dreaming sister." Daisuke announced and gasping she whirled around in a flurry and stormed out of the garden for good.

Releasing a breath she didn't even know she had been holding, Maiya collapsed into her seat and blew her short bangs out of her face. "Guess we're back to being Queenless," Sora mumbled and Maiya agreed while Daisuke sat forward and snatched another scone off the plate. "I'd rather be Queenless than to let that stuck –up priss bag on Yame like that," he said and Sora chuckled as he also reached for a scone and Maiya giggled softly.

"Yea Dai –kun's right but…what do we now though?" he probed her gaze darting over to Kenshin who sighed loudly and shrug his shoulders in defeat.

"We find a new Queen."

"Okay my little dancers…gather around!"

Madame Mai shouted and Yame's entire ballet class skipped over towards their instructor and sat cross legged on the floor. Settling down beside a jittery blonde, Yame rested her arms in her lap and stared up at the aging lady. Clearing her throat, she placed her hands on her hips and smiled brightly at her young dancers or fairies as they were affectionately called. "As you all know we have been practicing for a very long time now and you are all progressing wonderfully so –I have decided to schedule a dance recital for the last week of May!"

The entire class gasped and a round of jitter broke out amongst the girls and Madame Mai silenced them by whistling loudly. "Now, now girls…this means that now you have to work extra hard and do your best -" everyone seemed to tone out the rest of their instructor's words. "I'm so excited," the jittery blonde beside Yame squealed and nodding Yame grinned broadly. This meant that now she had to work harder and spend more time practicing; this was going to be a very interesting two month period.

"Yame, phone!"

Yaya shouted and picking herself off the floor, she strolled out of the den and into the kitchen where both her mum and dad were talking in hushed tones; her mum standing right beneath her dad's chin his hand running through her hair. As Yame ran her hand along the countertops, Kukai caught sight of her and pulled away from his wife grinning. "Hey there kiddo," he grinned and Yame smiled as Yaya pulled away and handed her daughter the phone saying 'it's Maiya –chan.' Smiling, Yame took the phone and pressed it to her ear.

"Hi –hi Mai –chi!"

"Hi Yame – I'm calling to let you know that we don't have a Queen's Chair anymore –Porla got impeached today." Yame's eyes widened and she leaned back against the countertop.

"What? Why –I thought we had to use her, what happened!" The other end went silent before Maiya finally responded although her voice was a bit shaky and low when she did.

"I don't know the deatials – Sora and Daisuke don't know either all we know is that Kernshin impeached her for one thing or another."

"Oh…okay then. So we don't have a Queen?"

"No Yame." Maiya sighed and Yame knew that the older girl was probably sitting on her bed, rubbing her temples as a heavy silence fell over the line.

"I'll see you tomorrow Yame –chan."

"Yup, yup…bye –bye Mai –chan!"

Sighing, Maiya dropped the cordless phone onto her bed before groaning and crashing back onto her bed. Why had she lied to Yame? Better yet, why had she been chosen to tell the Ace about Porla's impeachment? She knew why, it was so obvious, "stupid boys –being sexist." She mumbled as she flipped onto her side and rested her arm over eyes.

As soon as Yame had hung up she had been met with the curious gazes of both her parents. Releasing a deep sigh, she placed the phone on the counter as her shoulders slumped forward. "You okay?" Kukai asked and looking up Yame stared at her dad who had a brow quirked and his arms wrapped around Yaya's thin waist. Nodding, Yame forced a small smile onto her cute face as she stared down at her purple and pink striped knee –length socks. "I'm great papa! But we don't have a Queen anymore," she replied and Yaya smiled apologetically at her while Kukai chuckled. "Aren't you happy? Last time I checked you didn't even like what's –her –face!" Yame stared at him with incredulity written all over her face as she squeezed her tiny fists together.

"That's not the point daddy! The point is we don't have a Queen's Chair anymore and the workload is too much for me!" She shouted and silence fell over the kitchen before Kukai ruffled his hair and moved towards his daughter.

Standing in front of her, he crouched down to her eye level and she looked up, large eyes shaking dangerously and bangs falling into her eyes. "If it's too much for you you can just say and -" he stopped as he placed her tiny hands in his larger ones. "And your mum and I will forgive you if you decide to drop out of the Guardians –heck you wouldn't be the first!" He stated and Yame gasped as she shook her head about and stood up a little taller. "I don't wanna drop out – I like being a Guardians…it's just that -" she trailed off and Kukai grinned broadly. "People come and people go…it's a part of growing up. Trust me I've been in your shoes before –sometimes you don't want to let go but when you do you sometimes find that it was worth letting go of." He explained and Yame let the words sink in for a moment before she nodded and grinned broadly. "You're right…thanks papa!" She chirped before hugging him loosely and running out of the kitchen.

Ruffling his hair, Kukai sighed and Yaya giggled slightly gaze landing on her still crouching husband. "Nice lecture but –what do you mean by you've already been there?" She probed and grinning, Kukai rose to his feet and turned to face his petite wife. "Firstly, I want you to know that I meant every word I told Yame and secondly – I was referring to the day you joined the Guardians…best day of my grade school life." He said and Yaya's cheeks flushed as she pouted and punched him playfully. "You're a smooth talker Souma," she replied and his grin broadened. "Well, I try to be," he murmured as he wrapped his arms around her and pulling her into his their lips crashed into each others.
