The Masqurade

"Help! Somebody! Anybody please help me!" The voice was undeniably female, and terrified as she begged for assistance.

"Romeo, I-I have to go." Momo said as she rushed for the maze, and heard footsteps right behind her. She reached out for his hand smiling simply, As he grabbed her hand she tripped and almost fell.

"God damn it! Those were Maiko's favorite shoes! It's gonna take me forever to get her to lend me shoes again." She swore, tearing said shoes from her feet and throwing them. His brow raised in a questioning look, Romeo admired the way her long blonde curls whipped around behind her as she ran.

If he had thought she was a beautiful woman before, then surely she was a goddess now. She gave him the impression that if he looked long enough that she just might grow wings and fly away. He should have known that his Juliet wouldn't hate him even if she had a good reason to, she just didn't have the heart for it.

They were stopped, and she was pale as the moon, and still as one of the statues. The next thing that happened was a blur to him, one second she was there the next she was gone. And he heard a sharp gasp then he too vanished over the hedge wall. What he saw next was truly intriguing, she was bent over the an almost dead girl eyes closed and hands glowing… orange? 'Shoulda known.'

"No! Matsuri you will not die! I won't allow it!" Momo whispered, "This will not happen, tonight or any night for that matter." Her hands started glowing a more vibrant orange, as she placed her hands on the girls heart. When the silence was interrupted by a gasp Momo leaned back, and looked up at her Romeo. "What are you waiting for? Her condition is still critical, she could still die! Go get help!"

"Sorry just entranced by your beauty." He said smoothly, and as he walked away he heard the word "Smartass" and replied with a soft "Maybe but yours is better,"

"Yeah, sure loverboy." Momo said softly, her head feeling light. 'Shit! I knew I should've paced myself.' She thought just before everything went black.
