Prologue

It's Time

"Miyuki come here, take a look at this."

Miyuki leaned behind the coach to see what Tatsuya wanted to show her. On the screen was a message from Hayama-san

To: Tatsuya-dono and Miyuki-sama

From: Anonymous

This is orders from the head Maya-sama. In 2 months time prepare yourself appropriately, Miyuki-sama will be introduce as the next heir during the Ten Clan's selection meeting. Please do not reply to this email.

We will contact you if there is a need to.

"So the time has come Onii-sama?" She asked while looking at the screen. She read the e-mail five times before speaking. Making sure the e-mail wasn't just some illusion.

"Yes."

Miyuki wore a sad expression it seems the time has run out for the both of them. Nothing would ever be the same.

That night they went to bed quietly. As if waiting for a storm to come Miyuki slept tightly under her covers and fell asleep.


A day after the graduation ceremony Tatsuya's usual group gathered around the table at their usual hangout at café Mirage.

"Hey, I heard interesting news that during this upcoming selection of the 10 master clans the next head of the Yotsuba clan will be introduced." Leo announced to his group of friend.

"I heard the news as well. Usually people are too afraid to mention that clans name but that kind of news is spreading fast."Mikihiko took a sip from his tea.

"It's the most mysterious clan. No one knows what the clan really does in the shadows and there are many rumours about their unbelievable influence and power." Erika chimes in.

Miyuki and Tatsuya only listened to their friends' gossip about the mysterious Yotsuba clan. Unable to speak a word because they fully realize that soon all questions will be answered by them.

Tatsuya looked towards Miyuki to sense if she felt uncomfortable with the current situation. She only replied with a slight smile. He knew that she had the ability to mask her emotions and from all the commotion happening with the main house and the gossip spreading about Yotsuba the only thing he could do was stand by her side.

Leo glanced at Tatsuya. "Tatsuya, it seems that the students of the Magical University and the affliated high schools can attend."

"I see."

"I thought only those of the 10 master clans and the 100 families would be allowed to attend."

He knew everything regarding the upcoming selection meeting and the motives behind inviting students and teachers of the Magical Highschool. The motive behind such action is to introduce Miyuki as the next head of the Yotsuba clan.

"No, I also heard from my father that students may witness the meeting but will watch from a larger hall equipped with a large screening of the meeting. Aren't you guys interested?"Mikihiko said. He thought it was very interesting that the officials allowed students of the Magic University and high schools to attend.

"Let's go. It's not every day students like us get to watch a 10 master clans meeting. Not to mention the Yotsuba clan will finally show their faces."

Leo, Shizuka and Honoka nodded in agreement while Erika snuck a glance at Tatsuya's way watching for any sort of reaction to the earlier statement made by Mikihiko.

Miyuki shivered at the thought of everyone finding out her true identity. But the fact of the matter is she must do this in order to find the freedom for both her and her brother. But what would her friends think of her. Would they still treat her as a friend? Would they keep their distance from her when the time comes?

To her it was better to become the next heir instead of being used as a pawn by another Yotsuba other than her aunt. She would rather become the leader herself than continue to watch her dear brother take orders from the clan. At least with her as clan head she can finally protect her brother.

She took a sip of her tea.

"Let's go." She replied. Using every ounce of strength within her, she looked at everyone. "I'm sure witnessing the 10 master clan's selection meeting will be interesting."

"Then it's settled! Let's all go and watch." Erika concluded as she slammed both hands on the table.
