Private Party A Sakamaki Laito Story March 15 It was five days before his birthday and the final arrangements were being made. An attendant approached him and said, "Prince Laito, here's the list of guests for your party. This sheet has the food that will be served and the last one has the list of entertainment. Is this fine with you?" The attendant waited for Laito to respond. Laito was studying all the lists thoroughly. He had a serious look on his face because he noticed one specific name was not on there. He sighed and handed the lists back to the attendant. "She refused the invitation. Everything is fine make the final preparations." He said. He had not seen her "Dark Princess" in weeks maybe months because she would appear then disappear before he could even approach or find her. He was unaware that she used her given name not her alias when she RSVP for the party. She was closer than he thought and it was a masquerade party as well. She was like a ghost to most because she would randomly appear then disappears from everyone's field of view in an instant. Dark Princess was just a code name no one knew her given name. Laito sat around until his brothers came to find him because a mysterious woman was at the mansion looking for him. "Laito, there is a woman at the door looking for you with a letter." Ayato said. Laito got up and headed to the door. He got there and noticed the seal on the letter. "Where is she at?" Laito asked. Ayato and Kanato walked back to the entryway. "The information you desire is in the letter. She will be at your party though." Dark Princess' messenger disappeared after handing Laito the letter. "Who's messenger was that?" Kanato asked. Laito opened the letter and read it. He nearly tore the letter in half when he got to the end. The letter burned itself after he got to the end. "That seal belonged to "Dark Princess" why would her messenger come here with a message for you. You invited her to your birthday party. What was in the letter?" Ayato questioned his brother. Laito disappeared in search of Reiji or Shū to get information on The Vampire's Den. He knocked on Reiji's door and did not get a response. He went to find Shū who would most likely be sleeping somewhere quiet in the mansion. Shū was also nowhere to be found. He walked back to the entryway and heard Shū and Reiji's voices there. "The Vampire's Den what a place to keep hidden. Dark Princess has kept it in top order though only renting it out for exclusive parties of the rich and famous for those outrageously high prices." Reiji said as he noticed Laito. Reiji tossed him a key. "She left you something in the room that key belongs to." Laito left the house and headed to "The Vampire's Den" in an abandoned building in a back alley in Tokyo. He entered the building like he did several times before. He went straight up to the second floor where there were private rooms. The room they used almost every time he came out to the building the clover room of lust and desire. He stood in front of the room holding the key. He stuck the key in the lock and turned it. He opened the door and nearly fell over. He saw a large nude statue of "Dark Princess" in the middle of the room. He walked over to it and touched it. He noticed a note or a card next to the statue. He read it to himself and smiled. This was the room where they spent many nights playing and enjoying each other's company. He exited the room locking the door behind him. He stuck the key in his pocket with a smirk on his face. His anger from early had dissipated and he headed back on home how the masquerade party would turn out.
