A coincidental scene
By: Misa-chan46
"I must not lose. I won't fail. I won't let him die just yet." I said, taking a deep breath and showing my determination on my face.
Then I stepped out into the party.
The music was livelier than what I was expecting for a masquerade ball. The decorations were indescribable, something you wouldn't believe to see in even the grandest balls in England, let alone a hotel's massive rooftop.
It was unbelievable how they managed to fit 50-75 tables or so and a considerably large dance floor and have enough space to mingle around; you could just stand there with a few beverages on the tables against the wall and chat with other people.
Clearly, this was no match for anything else I've ever seen in my entire life.
There was this sort of red carpet where couples would walk arm in arm and flaunt each other. I quickly looked around me and saw that the girls I'd been with in the elevator were already flirting with the boys from the other elevator.
A separate elevator for boys. Which I've never seen.
…
WHY THE HECK IS THERE A SEPARATE ELEVATOR FOR BOYS? THIS HOTEL IS NUTS!
…
I calmed down after a few minutes. "I have to keep a straight head if I'm ever going to find that alien!" I muttered to myself.
I looked again at the now-empty stretch of red velvet. I thought it over again in my head and decided that going alone wouldn't hurt anybody.
I hitched my dress up higher and proceeded to march towards the carpet. Just as I was going to step on the damn thing with my stilettos, someone suddenly grabbed my hand and started walking with me. I kept my head down and didn't dare to look at my savior. Well, not so much.
I heard mutters all around me.
"Who does that girl think she is, hanging around with one of the hottest guys here!"
"I should be with that guy, he's rich!"
"She's ugly! She isn't good enough to be in the hands of that guy!"
'Hottest guys here'? Rich? Could it be him? Could it be Usui? , I thought . I turned my head a few degrees. Just as I was about to see his face, I heard a whisper that completely turned my mind into my old 'demon' mode.
"That's Igarashi Tora, isn't he?"
"Yeah, the heir to the Igarashi Foundation."
I slapped myself mentally and wished that I started walking sooner. Tora squeezed my hand, urging me to finish the walk.
After what seemed like a million years, we were finally off the carpet and into the mix of people. He kept close to me, as if I could get lost in the crowd. I gritted my teeth together. This guy is seriously getting on my nerves.
"Get the hell away from me, pervert." I said through my teeth, pulling my hand away from his. He seemed to find that funny, and he just laughed and snaked his arms around me. The pervert.
I decided to let it go, but as he pressed his lips on my neck, he crossed the line, and that line triggers the "demonic president" façade I had. I quietly pushed him away as hard as I could without making a commotion, but he remained stubborn. He put on his fake smile and locked his fingers behind my back, making it impossible to escape. For now.
"Come on, Ayuzawa-san! Can't you forgive a lone bachelor on this night of masks?" he said with a laugh.
I just glared at him.
The song that was playing ended. Everybody in the room clapped, and after a few seconds of silence, the next song played. It was just as good as the first one.
I put my arms around his neck while visualizing that I was doing this to paralyze him. I steered him slowly but surely towards the small bit of wall that prevented people from falling off. Once we got there, I aimed for his private part and hit it with my knee. I had a little trouble, considering my dress, but it was all worth it. He grunted a bit, but kept his hands on my waist.
I pushed him away and smirked at him. "Now you say you like me."
He just showed me an amused face and finally let go of my waist. Good thing he did. I was getting sick of his filthy hands. "You're as feisty as ever, Ayuzawa."
"Hn. How did you know that it was me? I'm wearing a mask, neh?"
He chuckled and put his hands on his hips in a … boyish way. "No one is gutsy enough to walk on that carpet alone."
I stepped back and crossed my arms. I looked him over, and for the first time, I noticed how handsome he really was. He wore a black tux which hugged his body in a good way, he had his hair messy- and incredibly, he looked cuter with his blond hair all messed up. Just like Usui's had been.
I gritted my teeth after seeing his face in my mind. Tora noticed it too.
"I guess you're still not over him, eh?" he said with a sigh. He ran his fingers through his hair. Damn him for making himself look good.
I 'hmphed' , then walked away. Who cares about that "lone bachelor".
I started wandering around the party, noticing how low girls were getting to seduce the men. Blind idiots. I started getting hungry, so I started to walk towards the other side of the roof, where the food and drinks were.
After a few minutes of walking, I was just halfway there. I started walking faster, when someone grabbed my hand and pulled me backwards. I dragged my heels in an attempt to stop the pulling, but the grip was too strong. I closed my eyes and prepared for impact.
Lips met mine.
Sparks flew, and I was in heaven. The person started kissing me further, deeper, with more intensity, and I could only respond by kissing him back. This kiss so familiar, I kept my eyes closed. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I started to think that this was wrong, and that this guy could have some bad intentions. I tried to push him away, but something about this kiss kept me glued to him. An aphrodisiac? Maybe this guy was drunk, and he was giving me alcohol every second that he twisted his tongue around mine.
He steered me somewhere where there were no people. The voices got quieter, and I was starting to feel dizzy from lack of air. I struggled to push him away, but he was strong, and he kept his lips glued to mine. With a final struggle, I broke away from him.
I couldn't remain standing. Even after breaking apart from him, I still felt light-headed and dizzy. But this wasn't the right kind of light-headedness. This felt different. I was trying to breathe again, to feel the air rush through my lungs. I lost my balance, and I fell.
Strong hands caught me, and I felt myself being carried away from the party. I tried to open my eyes and see the kidnapper, but the most I could see was a flash of blond hair and a blinding light. I shuddered, and finally surrendered.
Hi guys! This will probably be the last chapter that I will be able to bring to all of you for a while. School's starting tomorrow (as of June 6,2011) , and I'm a freshie in high school already. Yi-pee.
Anyway, I have a maid-sama blog, and I am looking for awesome stories under all genres to feature there. I will be retaining the Fanfiction link, but I will be providing a background for the story.
If you are interested in having your story featured in my blog, please contact me through private messaging.
Enjoyed this chapter? Tell me what you think!
