"I'm sure you do." Shiki stopped then said, "Sorry, we can change the subject if you'd like." She didn't want to upset Aqua; it was the last thing she wanted to do.

"You don't need to..." Aqua frowns to herself. Shiki didn't need to what? Be kind? Let the girl be. "How about we get something to eat?"

She nodded, "Alright." Shiki walked over to the food tables with Aqua. There was a very large assortment of foods spread across their surfaces. She shouldn't have been surprised at what Namine pulled off. She picked up a plate and carefully picked at what she wanted.

I sighed and turned to Namine as Lea vanished back into the crowd of figures.
"Please don't mind him; he's just an idiot."
I sighed; Lea'd gotten totally the wrong impression. I wasn't scoring with Namine - exactly the opposite, really. I don't even know why I gave her that kiss; I should have... should have made her tell the truth. That she really didn't want me to. And then I should have given up and gone home, rather than making her feel guilty like this for not being able to mean it... I pulled my mask back on.

I couldn't help but to smile when Lea walked up to the table. "Ah, and here I was thinking I'd be sitting all night." I stood up and placed my mask back on. "I guess it wouldn't hurt to dance." I reached for his hand with a smile. The mysterious man was gone from my mind, and I allowed my walls to drop, at least for a moment.

"He's just being your friend," And obviously hasn't been told you want nothing of the sort with me... I'm just your only trust worthy composer after all...Nothing beyond that... Stupid, stupid, bad Namine... You should... Go check on the rest of the party. "Excuse me... Hostess duties call." And I walk around him and off into the crowd. Straight for Shiki and Aqua... But I need someone to gush to... I don't care if the bitch will hear it too.

"Thank you," Aqua had said as she follows behind Shiki and grabs a plate of her own. Hers is filled with foods that she both has had and ones that she is yet to endure. She is about to grab a glass of punch when she bumps into near tears Namine.
Uh-oh... I hope this is from stress of running a party... and not... MEN problems.
"You alright?" She turns and watches as the blond throws her arms around Shiki. "..." Crap...! This has got to be serious.

"Is the hostess of this enchanting party alright?"
The voice was sympathetic and concerned, the voice came from a man behind Aqua. He wore an all black suit that was unbuttoned all the way, no tie but a neckchain that was a black cord with a single grey round gear-like object on it. His dress shirt was unbuttoned at the top, his mask was very skeletal like adorned with red lines over the eyes from the very top of the mask all the way to the bottom.
He was VERY familiar to everyone, but who was he...?

"N-namine!" I called out after her, starting to follow... then let her go. She was probably just... just... goddammit. I felt like an ass. I shouldn't have forced her.... Dammit, I was no better than Angel!
I clenched my fists and closed my eyes; I was glad that I was still wearing my mask, because if I was going to end up crying tonight, at least no one would see.
I went looking for Lea. At least I could clear up his misconceptions now. I mean.... I kissed a girl. And it made her cry. At her own damn party.

"Come to the party" Tom had said "It'll be a great time" he had said "You might get to see me drunk" he had said. Well he hadn't said anything about him having to wear a damn mask until the last minute had he? Shizuo hated the idea of wearing a mask, not only did it cut off his vision around the edges slightly, it made him feel uncomfortable being surrounded by so many people wearing similar masks. He shuddered as Tom told him that he was going to go and grab a drink, leaving him stood cross-armed surrounded by people who he could only guess were strangers. He hated parties. |

The man with the fox mask smiled; of course, to anyone who had ever seen the man, the silhouette of Shizuo Heiwajima was impossible to mistake. He wandered over to the tall man, still grinning, a drink in hand, the lights playing through the embroidery on his clothes making them seem like they were in motion.
"So," he said in a voice that he made sure was only somewhat familiar to the strong-man bartender, "are you enjoying the party?" His smile had become polite, his demeanor, humble.

A man in a fox mask approached him, and his voice... Shizuo couldn't place it but for some reason he really, really, really just wanted to punch this guy in the face. But he contained himself for now, it wouldn't look good for him to start throwing stuff with so many people stood around them. The last thing he wanted was for him to accidentally kill someone, it wouldn't look good on his record of disliking violence.
"Are you enjoying the party?"
Shizuo growled "Does the Pope shit in the woods?" he looked down at the man "And before you even answer, I'll tell you outright that the answer is no."

Shiki wrapped her arms around Namine, worried. She hadn't seen her friend until now, so what could have upset her? "Namine, what's wrong? What happened?" There were a few ideas floating around in her head, but she wasn't going to voice them in case they made things worse. At the voice she turned her head to the man behind Aqua. His voice was very familiar...Is that...? But she said nothing; that would be dealt with later. She turned her attention back to the blond and waited for her to speak.

He raised his hands in front of him, a gesture of peace. "My apologies; I didn't realize that you were in a foul mood. I meant no harm, nor any disrespect." His words were soothing and kind in tone.

Shizuo simply grunted at the man, again resisting the urge to fling this guy through a wall. His tone showed no sense of aggression but his voice alone was driving Shizuo round the bend. He looked round to see Namine crying, the mask cutting his peripheral vision and preventing him from spotting Aqua's distinctive blue hair. Shrugging he decided it wasn't his issue before turning back to the black haired man who stood in front of him.
"Yeah, well my mood's as foul as a sewer at the moment..." he rumbled as he looked around for the way out again, he needed a cigarette to calm down, and this guy wasn't helping at all.
