Hello readers, I am so so so sorry that it has taken me so long to update, but I've had to rewrite the chapters as my laptop went kaput taking all my stories and more annoyingly my IT AS level course work, I know what you're thinking why didn't I keep a backup well I did only it was put through the washing machine a few day before branding the small device useless, so now I'm out £400 for a new laptop and about £70 on all the programs I bought for my old laptop which I now can't put on my new laptop, sigh oh well enough about that, here is the latest chapter, sorry I haven't replied to reviews again it's a bit hard to do with a computer, oh and a quick Thanks to the reviewer who corrected my spelling on Baron's name.

A return

Baron watched as the others left the forest. He stood in his spot, not moving once even when the others had disappeared from eye sight. What Yuki said had struck a cord in him, and no matter how hard he wanted to go after his friends, his legs just refused to co-operate.

Once Haru and the Order of Grace had made it out the other side, Haru collapsed to her knees and burst into tears, she heard the pleading in Baron's voice, but she had made up her mind. It was safer without her, for everyone.

"Miss Haru, please don't cry, here let me take you to your room," said the female cat as she pulled Haru off of the floor and began leading her down the halls.

Haru and the toffee cat entered the room at the end of the hall, it was a small pleasant room, the walls were painted a light blue, in the corner was a small bed. Beside the bed sat a small vanity mirror.

"I'm sorry the room looks so bare," said the toffee cat looking at Haru, Haru looked up from the floor to look around the room for the first time.

"It's ok, it's nice," said Haru sadly as she put on a small sad smile for the cat.

"I admire you Haru, you are a very brave women," the cat said trying to strike up a conversation, Haru just nodded and walked over to the bed to sit down.

The female cat sighed a sad sigh for the girl. Her heart wrenched, was this really the only way, she felt tears come to her eyes, "Yes, this is the only way to keep the world safe," she thought sadly to herself.

"Thank you, for being so nice," Haru said hesitantly without looking to the cat. "Heh I don't even know your name, and I'm thanking you for..........." Haru trailed off before the need to cry kicked in again, the cat looked to her sadly.

"Caramel, my name is Caramel," the cat replied in a whisper.

"Caramel, it suits you," Haru said absentmindedly as Caramel silently left the room.

"Lune we can't go back to the palace, your father will have us arrested!" cried Yuki as she ran by the side of Lune.

"But we can't find Haru without help from the guards," replied Lune looking sadly to Yuki, as they stopped running.

"We have no choice Lune," said Yuki grabbing Lune's paws in a comforting gesture.

"But, he is my father," said Lune hopefully.

"Your Highness, Lady Yuki is right, I'm sorry but he's gone crazy," said Natoru, his ears dropped in sadness.

"But...." started Lune before he was interrupted by a voice coming from behind the group.

"I'm afraid they're right your highness. Your father has been put under a spell. He will not listen to reason," the voice said as he stepped into the light, reviling himself.

"Olivander Dizz what are you doing here?" questioned Natori once he recognised the newcomer, and sure enough standing in front of them in his robes was none other than Olivander Dizz the palace's most trusted magician.

Caramel re-entered Haru's room, she had visited Haru twice since arriving. Once to show her to her room and once to deliver her food. She sighed as she saw the plateful of food had gone untouched and that Haru hadn't moved from her spot on the bed, staring at the wall as if she was looking past it.

"Miss Haru, please you need to eat," said Caramel trying to get the brunettes attention. Haru didn't acknowledge the toffee coloured cat, still staring straight ahead of her.

The atmosphere in the room screamed sadness and depression. What once was a strong young women was now nothing more then a broken child. Caramel kneeled down in front of Haru, grasping her paw between her own paws causing Haru to glance at her.

"Haru please!" she cried as tears ran down her furry face. Haru looked towards her for a second before her eyes glazed over and Caramel knew that the girl was no longer look at her but through her.

Caramel couldn't take anymore. She turned and ran out of the room, the door slammed shut behind her, drawing Haru's attention to the offending sound, tears made their way down her own furry cheeks.

"I'm sorry," she whispered to no one before she returned her attention back to the wall in front of her.

"Your father has been placed under a spell of great magnitude," said Olivander Dizz as he stood in front of Lune, "I do not know how to reverse this spell your highness as it consists of powerful black cat magic. Though I do know the means of this spell, I cannot tell you who would posses this much strength to perform such a feat," explained Olivander as he looked to Yuki giving the group a small frown.

"No, then what good are you?" asked Muta only to be clawed by Toto.

"Don't be so catty Muta!"

Before a fight could start out between the two Yuki jumped in.

"Muta! Toto! Enough! Please Mr Dizz continue with your explanation," said Yuki looking back towards the cat wizard.

"It seems that someone has placed a lust spell on his royal highness, meaning that he will not give up until he gets what, or in this case who he wants," Olivander said pausing in his speech to let the others take in all he had said, "And I fear that the only way to end the spell is to give him what he wants," he finished. Muta looked up in anger.

"What?! No way is he getting Haru!" he shouted at the cat positioning himself in an attack stance.

"Calm yourself Muta, there is no way that we will hand Haru over to my father, we will just have to find another way," started Lune, placing his paw under his chin as he thought.

"I'm afraid the only other way out is for the king to perish your highness, or he will stop at nothing," said Olivander in a tone of regret.

"What can we do? We can't kill his majesty, that's treason, we'll be executed!" cried Natoru, gripping his head in panic as he pulled at his fur.

Yuki placed her paw on Lune's shoulders, sensing that he needed support, he looked to her and attempted a crooked smile before returning his gaze back to the floor, only one thought went through his mind.

"Father."
