A/N- I feel like I'm always apologizing for late chapters. I guess that's why they call you faithful readers because you have faith that I'll write. So here's a treat for you.

"Just wait, little prince, I'm going to tell everybody." Shigure smirked at Yuki and walked pass him. Yuki quickly caught Shigure's arm and pulled him back. Shigure tried to push Yuki off, but Yuki held tight to his arm in determination

"Shigure tell me," Yuki voice had seemed to darken and he glared at Shigure. Shigure looked playfully at Yuki. A smirk was dying to be spread across Shigure's lips, but Shigure kept it inside. Shigure just pushed past Yuki. Yuki tried to make another grab for Shigure's arm, but Shigure was too quick. Yuki stumbled and Shigure quickly darted into the crowd.

"Shigure!" Yuki yelled as his scanned through the crowd. He tried to go in the direction that Shigure had headed, but he could find him.

"Look every body the rare flustered Yuki has been spotted!" Shigure was standing close to the front of the crowds with one hand pointing at Yuki and the other cupped to help project his voice. Yuki watched as every eye slowly turned to him. HE felt heat rush up to his cheeks and he did the best to remain stoic, but the pink color showed.

"Look and now it's blushing!" Shigure yelled even louder with laughter laced in his voice. Yuki felt a renewed flush of heat, but this time it was from anger.

"Shut up." Yuki snapped at Shigure when he heard giggles emerging from the crowd. The giggles stopped instantly as they heard the tone of Yuki's voice. Yuki's eyes found Shigure who was looking very smug at the moment. Shigure's smirk widened as their eyes met and the glint in Shigure's eyes only gleamed brighter. Yuki, fueled by anger, started to make his way towards Shigure. Shigure broke from the crowd and calmly walked to the front. The zodiac hadn't noticed Shigure coming up to the front because they were bent over Kyo.

Kyo was still on the ground because of his collision with Hatsuharu. He looked up at he was surrounded by angry faces and eyes that were glaring at him. They were mocking him, but not out loud. Their lips remained silent, but their eyes were teasing and jeering him. Kyo looked around for someone to help him, but everyone was angry with him. When he saw that he had no help him switched to aggressive mode. Kyo started to snap insults and a few choice cuss words at the faces of the zodiac. He saw that they were closing in of him with Black Haru as their leader. Haru was grinning like a fox as his sought his revenge on Kyo. Kyo began to feel a prickle on fear run down his back because of the look in Haru's eyes. Kyo felt the palms of his hands touch the earth as fell back on them. Kyo's face was hard and dangerous on the outside, but inside he could feel the thousand year old year old rift that had been created between the cat and the zodiac. Kyo was relieved when his help came in the most unlikely form, a bossy dog that wanted the attention on him instead of Kyo.

"Ahem," Shigure cleared his throat. The crowd heard the sound and, with a few glares to Kyo, turned their focus onto Shigure. Shigure waited a moment before he began

"Hello my fellow zodiac," Kyo coughed in annoyance, some glances fell back to Kyo who had pushed himself up from the ground and onto his feet. Shigure gave him an annoyed look, but continued. " And cat. I've come before today to announce a announcement."

"Really," said a random voice from the crowd. Shigure glared at the mass, but he didn't know which member had said the jeer, so he didn't know who to glare at. In the back of his mind, he thought it was Ayame, but he couldn't give much thought on it.

"Before I continue, let Yuki come up here." Shigure smirked in Yuki's direction. Yuki paled as everyone around him took one step back. Soon, a ring of people who were looking at him expectantly surrounded him.

"Come on Yuki," said Shigure excitedly. Shigure had a teasing grin on his face and he tapped his wrist when Yuki met his eyes. Yuki slowly made his way to the front. The people around him cleared a path because they didn't want to get in the way of an angry Yuki.

"Shigure…" Yuki's tone was harsh as he glowered at Shigure. Shigure saw Yuki's face, but he kept his happy-go-lucky grin.

Shigure, unfazed by Yuki, continued. " This morning we received a letter addressed to Mr. Yuki Sohma. Now this letter wasn't a bill or a love letter."

Yuki felt the heat rush up to his face, he fought to keep them down, but it showed. Yuki did the only thing he could think of at that point, glare at Shigure.

"But this letter was of a different sort." Yuki inwardly sighed as Shigure continued to talk. "I know you probably won't believe me, but this letter stated Yuki as Royalty."

Yuki heard nervous laughter from the crowd, but it died quickly. The people saw the serious face of Shigure and quieted. They mulled over what they had just heard, deciding wither or not to believe the dog. Hatori scanned the crowd trying to see if they believed Shigure. He saw that many were dismissing it as one of Shigure's jokes, so he stepped in.

"Many of you won't believe Shigure, due to his joking nature," Hatori glanced over his shoulder at Shigure, who shrugged. "But he is indeed telling the truth. This is a real letter, I have it here for anyone to read when we are finished."

Hatori reached into his coat pocket and found the letter hidden inside. He rasped for it and pulled it out, so that the members could see it. Hatori saw amazement mixed with some disbelief cross the zodiac faces. Many were lost for words and stood there looking at the letter as if it were a piece of gold.

"How is that possible?" Rin spoke first asking the question that had crossed the minds of everybody there.

Hatori answered before Shigure could make some smug remark.

"Yuki's mother was born into the royal line, but she wasn't queen. Sakura left the court and went to Japan where she married Yuki's father. She never told anyone about her royalty, so nobody knew this was coming."

"May we see the note, Hatori?" Hatori looked down to see both Hiro and Kisa looking up at him.

A smile threatened to escape Hatori's lips, but Hatori kept it at bay. "Certainty"

Kisa and Hiro began to read and soon others who wanted to read surrounded them. Kyo and Tohru moved beside Yuki, who had remained almost silent for Shigure's announcement. Tohru moved slightly closer to Yuki.

"What did Akito say?" She asked in hushed tones. Yuki looked down to see her looking up at his face. Yuki smiled at the cuteness in Tohru's light voice. He felt warm inside as he relized that Tohru was worried for his well being. He smiled gently.

"I don't know, Shigure didn't tell me." Behind him, he heard Kyo mutter a cuss word. Kyo had been wondering about Akito's reaction to the news as well.

"What did Akito say about this?" Haru's voice rose from the silence that had occurred while the crowd was reading.

Shigure looked slightly nervous as he answered Haru's question. "He didn't say much of anything. We asked him what to do and he told us that he would deal with it later."

Yuki shuttered thinking about what Akito would and could do to him. Yuki was worried about his fate. He hated being left in the dark, where he could see his way out. Now, Yuki was stumbling because he didn't know what was in store for him. That scared Yuki more than anything.

"Yuki," He looked down at saw Tohru gently touch his arm. She had seen the fright in his eyes and it worried her. Yuki must remember not to worry Tohru too much.

"I'm fine, Miss Honda." He smiled a fake smile at her and she moved her hand away from his arm. Yuki could feel the warmth as it left and his skin longed for it. Truthfully, he want to tell her that he wasn't alright and that he was worried to death, but he couldn't. He couldn't worry Tohru because he was worried. He needed to be strong.

"Yuki there's a call waiting for you." A maid had appeared in the doorway and shook Yuki from his thoughts. Yuki turned towards the maid and followed her out into the hallway.

Tohru watched as he left. She had seen the flicker of fear in Yuki's eyes and she wanted to help. Yuki said he was fine, but she knew, deep down, that he wasn't. Yuki still feared Akito because of the abuse that Akito had done to him and Yuki still hadn't healed from all the mental scars. Tohru wished that Yuki would let her help, but she couldn't force her help. Tohru decided to wait. She would always be there for Yuki and when he felt ready to call on her, she would come.

She heard Yuki's footsteps before she saw him. Everyone heard the footsteps because of the silence that he occurred in Yuki's departsure. Yuki came back with a confused expression on his face. He found Hatori's eyes and came to him.

"They have a plane waiting for me." Yuki looked at the ground like he was ashamed. "It's at the airport. They want me to come, so they can take me to Nievea and they told me to bring my whole family." Yuki looked up at Hatori. Hatori saw not shame in Yuki's eye, but confusion. He understood because this boy was having his life changed in a very short period of time. Today he had been told that he was a prince, now he was being swept into a plane to be taken to a different country. Hatori felt slight sympathy towards Yuki.

"Hatori," Hatori turned when he heard Shigure address him. "Go find Akito and tell him the latest twist of events." Hatori left and the zodiac waited. They didn't wait long because Hatori came back too soon.

"Shigure," Hatori sounded serious and slightly worried. "Akito isn't here. He's gone."
