Akayuki's POV

~Two weeks later~

I was currently sitting in the audience chamber of the palace in front of Ryouta. He sat lazily in his chair, his kimono hung loosely on his body and he held a bowl of sake in his hands. To even think that he's the ruler of the Ouryuu Palace. But I wasn't to judge since I was sitting lazily in my chair as well, the only differences were that I was wearing my clothes properly and instead of sake, I held a smoking pipe. The stupid boy won't even speak. Does he think this is some kind of staring competition? Sighing, I decided to break the silence," Ryouta, I've come up with my decision."

"Ohh..." A sly smirk was plastered on his face like he knew what I was here for," and what is it?"

I really want to punch him in the face but if I do Rima will be sad. Contain yourself,I mentally chanted in my head. "I've decided to go with you and RIma to the Hiryuu Palace. But I have two conditions." By the mention of conditions he turned completely serious. "Go on." Was all he said. "Well firstly, I will be going in my human form, not matter how uncomfortable it may be and secondly, you will not mention who I really am to Seijuro." Giving him a knowingly look, "do you give me your word?"

"You have my word Yuki." He reassured.

~Flashback to a few days earlier~

Rima and Ryouta sat in front of me in their guest room, which I was currently in due them rescuing me. Silence took up every inch of the room, we didn't know how to start the conversation. Hurry up and say something.

"Yuki you remember me right?" The stupid blonde kitsune asked.

"Ah, Ryou-kun you haven't changed. Still as ignorant, stupid, and bratty." i tauntingly said. Well treating him nicely is now far out of the window.

"You two Yuki. You haven't changed at all as well, still a old hag." (A/N: Yuki is a yokai and yokai's tend to age slower so they may look young but they be like dead great great great great great grandparents type of old, but they look smokin hot since they age slower.)

"You really asking for it, Ryouta." I said while cracking my knuckles and a sickening sweet smile plastered on my face.

"Ma ma~ Yuki-chan, Ryou-chan. You two should calm down." Rima tried breaking the tension between us.

Reluctantly, Ryouta became serious. His eyes turned sharp and void of any emotion. "Ten days from now, Rima and I will be leaving the palace and heading to the Hiryuu Palace."

"I see and your here to ask me if I will accompany you two or not, am I correct?" They both nodded. "Well Ryou-kun I can't give you a solid answer right now. Give me five days and I will come to you to give you an answer."

"Alright, five days and you'll give me your answer." His firm voice said. You really have grown into a fine leader, Ryouta. "In the mean time, relax and get your strength back as soon as possible."

"I will, you needn't worry. I'll be just fine very soon." My voice softened.

~End of Flashback~

~3 days later~

"Yuki-chan you ready to go?" Rima peeked her head into my room as I sat by the window thinking.

Smiling," I hope so."

"Ah! Your nervous aren't you?" The joy in her voice hadn't left.

My aren't you a genius." Yeah I am, Rima. I haven't seen them in so long I wonder how everyone has been doing in these 10 years of my disappearance." The word softly left my lips.

Rima tone softened," Yuki don't worry. I promise everyone will be delighted to meet you again. They've been taken good care of by the boys so don't fret to much."

"I know, but to think I missed out of watching everything change in 10 years saddens me." I gently voiced out.

Silence filled the air. Rima couldn't find the right words to say and thankfully they were interrupted as Ryouta came into the room telling the girls that the carriage was ready and they would depart soon.

Rima and I slowly left the room, walking through the hallways with me trailing behind Rima. Sigh, we'll meet again won't we, Sei-kun. But sadly you won't remember me this time."
