What seemed like hours was only minutes to me. Dancing with Darla in her silky black dress made me feel that even though I had darkness inside me it wasn't all bad and that it could be beautiful.
"Darla, let's go sit down somewhere." I asked but out of the corner of my eye I saw someone with a silver fox mask standing behind beside Shizuo. I didn't know who he was but he gave me a bad feeling.

He smiled and held out a hand. "Then let me escort you, my lady," he said with a bow and a flourish. Tifa had been teaching him how to dance, just for this very moment. He'd neglected to tell Neku that all of the knowledge he'd given his best friend was second-hand from the bartendress.

"Sure," I smile to him, my witches hat had fallen off during our dance. But I didn't care, it was a cheap one anyways.

"Shiki... I... I... I forced Neku to kiss me!" I say with heavy sadness. "And he obviously doesn't like me like that! I'm such a... A... A cruel bitch sometimes..." Tears burn on the edges of my eyes, but I refuse to cry.
"What do I do?"

Aqua shakes her head, "No." She smiles to the mysterious man. "But I'm sure she'll be... Oh... Boy troubles." Her head shakes as she scans the party, wanting to help Namine, but having an odd feeling the blond will push her away.
She then asks the man, "How are you tonight, sir?"

"Oh, Namine." She held her out at arms length, "You're not a cruel bitch. I'll bet any money that if Neku hadn't wanted to kiss you, then he wouldn't have. But he did. If anything, I bet he's just not sure what to say now that he's done it."
She gave the girl a sympathetic smile, "He's probably upset now because he thinks he made you sad. So if I were you, I would go find him again. If you feel like you owe him an apology, then give it to him. But no crying tonight, okay? Because then I'll have yell at him later for upsetting you. And I'd rather not do that."

I stare at Shiki a moment. And something clicked.
"You... You think so?" I'm beaming now, mind working over time as I'm already flicking my eyes through the crowd for orange hair. There is one way to find out if he likes me or not... And if Shiki says its not bad to kiss him... Then this idea is golden. "If you really do... Then I'm gonna go explain something to him~."

Shiki nodded with a smile, "Go for it. Oh and Nami," She grinned, "Nice work."

"Thanks," I giggles as I let go of her and then search one more time before making a beeline for the masked Head Watcher. When I get close I call out his name in hopes he turns around, take a few running steps, and jump onto him.

Shizuo was deep in angry thoughts at the moment...
"I don't like the atmosphere here."
"Tom hasn't returned yet."
"I don't know anyone here."
"This black haired runt's annoying me."
"I should be outside doing what I do best. Killing demons."
Shizuo had been on a self-destructive path recently, he wasn't ashamed to admit it. He knew that word was going around how much his demon hunting was increasing, how much stronger his opponents were getting. Tom had asked him to tone down already, as had Kasuka, but he couldn't he needed to prove something, to himself, and to others.
Grah! This party was just hindering the process!

I turned, seeing Namine. She seemed to be smiling, so I relaxed... and immediately got bowled over.
"N-Namine!" I exclaimed, as I hit the ground with the blonde on top of me. "W-watch... whatch where you're..." A blush spread across my face. "....where... you're going..."
Dammit! What was going through her head?! I would never, ever, ever understand this girl.

Aqua sighs and shakes her head. She doesn't wait for the mysterious man to respond, suddenly she had spotted Shizuo and he looked upset. Now She can't have that. So she walks over and puts her arms around him, "hey... What's wrong?"

She nodded to herself and watched Namine walk away. Then she turned around, seeing Aqua go towards who she believed was Shizuo. So that left her and the mysterious man. Oh yeah, she could address that now. Shiki clasped her hands behind her back, "And that leaves you and me. Enjoying yourself so far?" He was very familiar, but best not to embarrass herself yet.

I giggle and whisper, "So... Did you enjoy our kiss earlier?" I reach out and pet his hair as I speak. I really do love his hair.

Shizuo felt a pair of arms around him and looked down to find Aqua, at first he wondered how she recognised him with a mask on, but then it sort of hit him. He didn't exactly have the most conspicuous body shape in the world. He smiled and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, wanting to kiss the top of her head, but his mask would only get in the way, he'd settle for the hug, the hug was just as perfect anyway.
"She's the reason I'm doing this"
"What's wrong?" he echoed her raising an eyebrow, for a brief momen contemplating spilling out everything all at once before getting a hold of himself and deciding that it wasn't the best course of action. But he didn't like the best course of action either if he was being honest.
"Lie to her, don't be a burden"
"Nothing's wrong, Tom's just abandoned me here is all" he said, feigning a smile "But yeah! How are you?" he asked, shifting the conversation away from his own feelings.

Aqua felts her worrying side kick in, He's lying to me... I can tell. Call it the power of a mother, but she could tell he wasn't telling her the full truth. And it irritates her to no end, but she'll let it slide. Maybe she can make his night better. But first she has to respond, "Perfect now that you're here." Her voice was a whisper and she flushes and looks down as she said that. "So besides being left here... How are you doing?"
