Life After You
01 – Lady-disaster.
It was early evening when the uniform and coordinated steps of the couples were present in large festive hall; outside a carriage, somewhat unique, made his appearance by the stone path leading to the huge castle. The most anticipated guest every ball was coming.
Could be only impression, but for seconds before the music was played, cheering the huge hall, stopped, making the back with the same intensity in which had begun. And of course, could not be less, after all with eyes as cold and piercing as those; and a stand so firm and elegant, any being would freeze on that presence so important and imposing. Even time itself could undergo such a person.
But the moment the only thing that really were ceased in the footsteps of such an important figure, before your eyes wander around the room in a search need, after all if it were to stay there for a whole night, at least would decorate each place of that room; not that it really necessary at all so do, but to see that man, it would always be a need above all others.
- Lord Alaude Hibari! - Introduced the Lord to the crowded room. Of course the high voice that announced its entry into the deeply irritated. Held a sigh and a run of eyes as he followed calculatedly to the bottom of the stairs.
He spent the look for uneven crowd. Saw several ladies smile in his direction and look wishing fervently that this invite a beautiful and fortunate for a dance. Dreamy, not even imagined how demanding the imposing Lord could be.
Ignoring all the attention he receives, his eyes targeted a point of the hall ends, was away from a large population of people - of whom roughly appointed herbivores. Crowds, to be see, have always been something as unnecessary, as the parties who always invited him to go and, out of respect to his title of nobility and duty, the Lord always had to be.
However, come to these parties increasingly generated it unpleasant consequences, in which had always tried to avoid; and behold, one of these will soon occur. Women already looked at each other with interest and the most daring even if invited to dance with the Lord. The lute always dispensed, but to finish speaking with one another already addressed. And, determined to stop it, would have to find a woman, in his view, interesting enough to share a song.
An impossible task? Maybe. The determination to find a lady among so many other also was not much. But just wanting a stop here picking up a push. His fingers entwined in a glass of red wine in which a waiter a few inches you carried, and little by little, began to ingest the liquid dark tone. Soon the melody ceased, not delaying to be replaced by another friendly and perfect. And amid this exchange sounds a distinct tone - not coming from the instruments - caught his eye. A voice, that was what had awakened him from his thoughts, not just words, but a laugh.
Sweet and melodic; smooth as an expensive wine.
He spent looking around the room more not even managed to locate that sound so magnificent.
And when he found the scene saw can not help it to him intrigue. A woman dressed in a navy blue dress, adorn his gaze. Chic dress, not so exaggerated, it was straight neckline along with a small loop at his waist in black, running zigzag with dark ribbons, almost bluish, shimmering with reflections of lights. His sleeves had yoyos in crochet and finished with a French frill as black as a moonless sky, followed by white gloves up to her elbows. By silk dress be long and show little feet, Alaude can only realize that their doll shoes were also black.
The hair of the girl was loose and smooth, slightly wavy at the ends, falling in curls in front of your shoulders to the bust. The brown tone that it had to fall very well in the pale skin of the girl. His eyes also brown, but in different colors, were expressive and full of joy, especially the long thick lashes that they had; course could be part of the makeup, with the blue shadow in his eyes, not very strong, finished in a light black tone.
The lips painted in light pink bridesmaid move with dexterity while smiling and talking to a lightly colored silver in front, where the olive green eyes seemed much to observe and worship every detail; far as the eye trained Alaude. The Lord, in this case, can only compress the smile born on his lips.
Does this time your lady for a dance would be so easy to be found?
Blinked, not looking away from the fiery and interesting woman. Took back the cup to his lips, drinking - even without even enjoy - the expensive wine, but at no point looked away from the beauty. At the end, when the bowl lay empty between his long fingers and gloved, the Lord had already decided. Mentally traced its way toward young, I knew what I would do; what would speak and had to matter to while they were to dance. It had everything meticulously planned, it was sufficient that your invitation was accepted.
- Lord Hibari. - The soft voice touched his ears. Eye corner can see the approach of a family woman. And almost growled as identified Baroness Spade. - It's so great to have you here with us my Lord. - Smiled gently, while further back the approach of Spade Baron was noted and next to it, of course, her twins; both as peculiar as his father.
The Lord merely give a simple nod the lady who had stood before him, interrupting his vision for the singular young brown hair. Again heard the cheeks and soft laugh of the chestnut, at least the girl was still there.
- Something wrong my Lord? - Questioned incisive Spade Baron. Soon after his son mumble something about such a Lady Sawada and darn dog.
For a few seconds his attention was diverted from the point previously seen by your eyes. The lowest Spade spoke something of interest. So this woman had the title of Lady Sawada?
The noble surname not was unknown. Little is remembered of the acts that the owners of this surname had, but treat to remember.
- Who is it? - Merely say, such arguments addressed to the son of Spade's so intriguing hair, Mukuro. The same seemed minimally awed question to you, after all, very cost to the attention of the Lord was addressed to anything else, when your mind and vision already took aim at another being.
- Kufufu ... - the peculiar laugh was quick to echo the voice of the younger Spade. - Why would I tell you? - The question sounded in mockery, just annoying little Alaude patient.
- Mukuro-nii-sama! - Rebuked the sister of that Mukuro, Chrome Spade. The girl could have an extremely like that of Mukuro appearance and his father, and even like to wear their hair in fruit hairstyles, but it was one of the people in that family that less incited the wrath of the Lord, along with Elena. - Lord Hibari, that's Lady Sawada Tsunayoshi. - And the speech of the small Spade gave a smirk, imperceptible to any looks, just then a nod was given to lower an answer.
- Lady Tsunayoshi ... - muttered, perhaps more to himself than to the other gifts as he looked at the smiling beauty a little farther. And before he could realize was being targeted by soft laughter of Baroness Spade.
- Oh, it's so wonderful to see my Lord in love. - Said it with a sigh of charm. Out almost instantaneously to the Hibari the phytase intensely. In Love?
- Nufufu... French Lark in love with Lady-disaster? - Commented Daemon with his typical laugh. - Oh, this is certainly interesting.
- Daemon not call her that! - Scolded the older woman giving a light slap on his shoulder.
- I'm not lying my flower. - argued in return, Spade Baron.
Throughout the dialogue between the Baron and Baroness, the icy stare of Lord never stopped staring at the farthest lady who smiled and laughed for the same silver-haired boy who had seen before - this apparently angry - and now, for son oldest of Spade who ran the Lady a strange smile.
Clenched his eyes wishing he could strangle - both the son and the father - the young Spade.
The lady directed her brown eyes for the first time the figure of the French, it seemed for a few seconds his eyes evaluated in completely, bringing the Lord a different feel to have those eyes all over you.
Again brown eyes turned to move, and not that for the tiniest fractions of time, the shock of having those two orbs fixed itself shed a pure dose of ecstasy and adrenaline in the blood Lord. More than ever he needed to know more about that as single lady.
But his thoughts were interrupted by calculating laugh that both hated and at that time more than any other, wanted to finish Daemon.
- Nufufufu, take the first step lark, but do not say no one warned you; there will be no return. - And once again the sinister laughter sounded Baron. The Lord had not called, after all, had Daemon class for a jester. And at the moment, the intriguing feeling inside her was enough to give you determination not fear the likely steps would. Even intrigued before that warning, the Lord did not fail to feel a certain seriousness in these words, but, anyway, he ignored the man.
- Good luck Lord Hibari. - Baroness Elena smiled to himself as the man was heading for the Lady to ask her for a dance. - That the sun protects you from the evils of the shadows. - Heard the murmur, even though distant, and this hesitation once ran through his veins dissipating just when he saw the girl staring at him again with a white and innocent smile.
- Good evening my Lord. - Smiled her and bowed, friendly to the imposing Lord, both guys present only waved as gazed with some distaste the important figure of Hibari now stood too close to the beauty of brown hair.
When the music stopped again, been able to notice the whispers that cited on the "Lady-disaster" and also questions about why an important and beautiful man like Lord Alaude was to approach the ordinary lady of the night.
Ignoring them, bowed taking the small hand and depositing a warm kiss on white glove.
- Give me this dance, my Lady? - Asked staring at the warm brown orbs.
- It would be an honor Lord Hibari. - Smiled at the sweet. - If you'll excuse me guys. - Said it followed with the blonde to the center of the room.
The music started again. He turned on his heel before he felt the hand of Hibari on her waist to pull over next to you. Laughed the sweet, when they started dancing gently, as if they were floating around the room. They ran a few seconds in silence before the lady to comment.
- I'm curious Lord Alaude. - Started looking at the eyes, something that few were able to do, intriguing man. - It is the first time we see ourselves and have the audacity to invite me to a dance...
They turned following the tone of the melody.
- Maybe you can have aroused my curiosity, Lady Sawada. - Whispered it in the ear of the girl, eliciting a smile from it. Of course in the process man can not help but feel the sweet smell of clear skin lady.
And similarly Alaude can almost hear the growls of envious and jealous young people all aware that the Lord was giving the lady with whom she danced at the time.
The soft laughter echoed Tsunayoshi low, almost mesmerizing blonde. And for a second the mind of the platinum-haired man had been empty, wanting only to hear more of that soft laugh.
- Or maybe just want to fix me audacious enemies. - Answered it after another turning, the man looked her arched eyebrow. - Take a good look around my Lord, tonight the ladies are to pluck me from your arms.
It was the time of Hibari smile. A single smile that surprised everyone who stared at her dancing with Lady Tsunayoshi, after all was never seen the man in a dance with some lady - since no aroused your interest - let alone the blonde was seen smiling or even laughing so so natural.
- I would not allow them to do so. - Said he, still smiling. - You are my by now.
Once again the sweet laughter of Lady filled the halls, a brief laugh, but hypnotist. And a gift for acute hearing of the Lord.
- My enemies can be dangerous my Lord. - The voice was low, after one of the hands of the French down to her waist on a swivel double in the small space where the other couples afforded.
Even if the Lord Hibari's smile has had the end, its always cold eyes gleamed tenderness, little feeling could be almost imperceptible, but Lady Tsunayoshi was too close-to itself, not to notice the light flicker in his metallic eyes.
- I will fulfill my word, my Lady. - And with these words, the small out caught off guard on a swivel to the end of the song. The ruffles dress messed you and heel of her shoes were not help. But even before his nickname could do it lives up, behold, the hand of the French encircled her waist. - Trust me. - The melody came to an end with the last chords. - And give me one more dance. - Smiled small as a suggestion.
- Always my Lord. - Again his hands touched, and other music kicked off the dance in which could be a sheer boredom to Hibari, became two dances with the same person in which contained his interest. - I don't understand my Lord. - Lady began, after a long time guided by melodic music. - Among the many ladies, why then the Lady-disaster? - Asked curiously, after all, beautiful ladies stared at all the wishing blood Tsunayoshi.
- I don't know. - Said, among the last seconds of the song. And it was true, he did not know. His only certainty was the sentimental glimpse inside him telling him to go to that beauty and make her the happiest girl in the kingdom, and it the blond also looked forward to learning every secret that Lady kept, under both his lips, as in their clothes. - Maybe you can answer me why arouse my interest. - And once again, another emotion can be seen in the icy orbs always bluish, the Lady increasingly fascinated with the man in front. However, it still does not lose its charm, was limited to laugh softly, with her sweet voice ever.
- Perhaps the darkness interests you. - Smiled intriguing Lord, for the second time he had heard it, but before he could even ask something about that, the song was over. - My Lord, now I have to go. - Smiled her, leaving the middle of the room with a brief farewell and returned to the people who attended it before.
And this time, Lord Alaude, which always hated being in ignorance of something, enjoyed the doubt and curiosity about the mysteries surrounding the lady who so fascinated him.
