"Um.." Yusei took the clothes and closed the door, before asking to his friend on the other side of the door" what hour is it?"
"Humm..3h28...why?"
"I need to go see Nerve"
"I see, you're going with Rua?"
"Yeah..." *Opening the door* "Nee...Crow, what did you wanted to tell me?"asked a girl with brown eyes and black hair who was wearing a white loose shirt with a cobalt sash wrapped around her waist on top of a long black skirt that came up to her ankles.
"..*Grin*..." Crow took Aoi's hand in his " Yusei..."
"W-What?...Why my...real name..."
"Come with me...To the Rose Ball"
Chapter 6
"W-What?"
"Come with me to the Rose Ball"
"Why would I go there?, no...Why are you going there?"
"Hehe, well you see, Sherry and I decided to make you a suprise for your birthday" (a/n: I just saw that I made a mistake in the last chapter..I wrote that Martha and Crow did the outfits but it was Sherry and Crow)
"Why would you?"
" I Just told you why, it's for your B-Day"
"I won't go..."
"Eh?! Why?"
"It's not a place where I would fit, I mean look at me, Crow..."
"Don't worry about that"
"Even if you say so..."
"If you go, you wont need to hide your hair or the color of your eyes"
"Eh? Wh-What?"
"I already talked with Aki, you won't need to put contact lenses"
"R-Really?"
" *Grin*"
"Ah..haha...I mean..."
"I will give you some time to think...You never know what can happens neither who you can meet..."continued the orange haired man before walking away
"Crow..your hands...I Wonder what happened to them..."Crow's hands had scratch all over them..Like if he hurt himself with a needle, more than once...
XXXXX A THE SAME TIME IN THE PALACE XXXXXX
(During a competition of pegasi)
"Grand Duke, on which Pegasus did you bet?"asked a Brown haired man
"Akutsu,is it?Where is Jack?"asked a blond haired man with sharp brown eyes (a/n: Akutsu is ZigZix in the English version)
"I'm afraid I haven't see him, Perhaps, he is flying off over the city again"continued the man
"Father" the men turned to face the person who just talked
"Jack"said the Duke
"Well, I will let you talk to your son, Grand Duke I hope to see you again today"said Akutsu before walking away
"Forgive my lateness"
"Where you out in the city again?"asked the 'King'
"...Well in order to gouvern Neo Domino...I have decided that I must learn more about the voices of the people that dwell here"
"And after you've learnt that? If no one holds the reins or wields the whip, a Pegasus would simply fly in the direction it faces. The people are no different..."continued the Duke, while looking at all the noble around them who were staring at the pegasi's competition.
"..."
"A monarchs must wield his strong will as a whip. If he did not, those same foolish people would be swept away like chaff"
"Grand Duke, Lady Carmin has arrived" said a domestic before bowing and leaving
"Grand Duke, I am happy to see you in good health"said a Young woman who was wearing a green dress with delicate white lace all around it.
"Lady Carly,it's my pleasure to see you too. May I ask you to offer your hand for my son during the Rose Ball, tonight?" Carly glanced at Jack before smiling and blushing " If Jack-sama has no objections"
"Jack favors you. Certainly he would not object...right Jack?"said the man while giving his son a sharp stare
"...Certainly"said Jack
"Good, now Lady Carly, a seat has been prepared for you over there"continued the Duke "Jack, offer her everything she wishes"
"Yes Father" Jack Advanced to take the hand of Carly "This way" As soon as he took the woman's hand in his, Jack smiled. He remembered the Sapphir Whirlwind.
"..Um..is there something strange about me?"asked Carly
"Ah..N-Nothing...it was nothing.."
"I Wonder why he smiled?"thought Carly
Jack's Flashback
"Take my hand!"
The Sapphir Whirlwind did as she was told to, but the hand that the noble took slipped from it's glove
...! "Shiroiyuki! Faster!" The nobleman ordonned to his pegasus to go faster.
"There you go!" He successfully catched the young woman's hand this time "You're arm is more slender than what I expected"
"Let go of me"
"Of course I can't do that"He pulled her on his pegasus
End of flashback
"Let go of me, she said...Haha,what an unusual person"thought Jack
XXXXXXXX BACK WITH YUSEI (AOI) XXXXXXXX
(In the auditorium)
There was on the scene, a blond woman who was playing with a man a play. On the left of the stage was some decoration: A big tree and a little house, on the right: two person were disguised as sheeps.
"No! No no no no, It's no good at all! You two are lovers who finally met after a long time!" said a man with a bandana on his head
Annoyed, one of the sheep (Rua) asked "Oi, Just how much time do you want them to start?!"
"Silence! Sheep aren't supposed to talk!"
"..!..Hmpf"
"Hey, Nerve, get Aoi to play opposite me! I'm sure that she would be a great actor, she could play the role of my lover"said the blondish woman
"No, don't want to, Aoi already has a role"
"What?..." She turned and looked at the second sheep and asked"What do you think about it, Aoi?"
"..Sorry Sherry...I'm not really..."
"What are you saying? Come on, you want to enact a wonderful love story with me, don't you?"
"...I don't think...I mean for a love one, I'm not sure..."
"Oh forget it, we're done for today"continued Sherry
"H-Hey! We only have one more week until opening day!"said Nerve
"Then hurry up, and finish writing the play!"yelled the woman on her brother. In the corner of the stage, we could hear and see Rua chuckling and Aoi lost in her thought"...love..huh..."(a/n: In this story, Nerve is the brother of Sherry and their mother is the one who let Aoi and the other live the Leblanc mansion.)
XXXXXX IN NEO DOMINO PALACE XXXXX
"You should make haste, Carly is waiting you below" said a blueish white haired man to his friend, who was in front of a Mirror with domestic arranging his outfit for the Rose Ball
"Hum"
"Being so popular must be diffucult"
"...Talk for you"
Kiryu looked at Jack before asking him"...what is it? Do you dislike Lady Carly?"
"No, It's not that.."said the prince while turning to face his childhood friend
"Oh? That's not like you"
" I think that Carly is a lovely person,but..."
"..You're not in love...right?"continued Kiryu with a gentle smile on his face
"..." Jack looked away before sighing
XXXXXX IN THE AUDITORIUM XXXXXXX
It was now around 7 pm. The actors of the play were gone and Rua was surely playing the garden. Aoi stayed with Nerve to help him storing and preparing some stuff for the play that was due to next week. She was holding in her hands a big bag of accessories.
"Hey, Nerve..."
"Hum?"
"...What sort of thing is love?"asked Aoi to the man in front of her. He was writing the rest of the script.
"..Why ask that, out of the blue?"asked Nerve with a smile on his face
Aoi looked away" Eh?...no reason"
"..*Chuckle*..Well, 'love is that wich balks not at laying down its life,' shall we say?"
"...hmm.."
XXXXXX WITH JACK XXXXXXXX
The Prince and his friend were walking in the hallway of the palace
"Hey, Kiryu...What do you think love is?"
"...What's gotten into you?"
"...Just answer me"
"Well...a feeling that burns so fiercely, you feel you wouldn't detest dying, if only you are with the person you fell in love with..."
"Is that what it is?...Has it ever happened to you before? Love, I mean"
" *Chuckle*...That's a secret"continued Kiryu with a slight blush on his face. One that you couldn't really see. He was thinking of someone...
"What's with that? Tell me"
Kiryu's Flashback
"I didn't know that it was bad...I mean...giving nicknames to people...you're the first person who told me...that it was wrong of me to..." What's the problem with me, excusing myself...
...*Chuckles*
"...! Why are you laughing?! Are you making fun of me because I told you that I was sorry?!" He turned his head to see his passager's face, he thought that he would had a plain face with freckles and green eyes because he had orange hair, but in front of him, was a beautiful young man smiling with grey eyes...no...silver's
End
"I wish I could see him again" thought Kiryu
XXXXXX BACK AT THE LEBLANC MANSION XXXXXX
"Aoi, could you put that costume back in the changing room?"asked Nerve
"Which one?"
"The orange one, after that you can go rest"
"Ok"
"Thanks for helping me"
"No problem" Aoi took the costume and walked toward the room
"That's right, Aoi" the girl turned toward Nerve "What?"
"With a smile he told her "Be safe"
"...ok?"She turned and walked once again "...be safe...I Wonder why he said that, its not like if I was going somewhere"thought Aoi
XXXX AROUND 8:30 PM XXXXX
"...* Sigh*...I'm Exhausted"said Aoi while opening the door of Crow's room.(a/n: To go to her room, she must pass through the chamber of Crow) She closed the door and opened the light to find behind her a dress. It was a really pretty one. (a/n: the dress is on my profile, please go see it)
"What is tha-"
*Toc Toc*Aoi turned around and opened the door to find in front of her Crow and Sherry.
"You like it?" asked the two of them
" It's for me?"
"Yeah"continued Crow
"But"
"No Buts!"said Sherry
"Did you take your decision?" asked Crow wth a serious face
"What decision?"asked Sherry to Crow "He's going to go, We didn't do those outfits for nothing!"
"You two...You did it?! I mean the dress?"
"...Yeah"Continued Crow while passing his hand in his hair
"You know Aoi, or should I say Yusei, only the nobility are supposed to go, but apparently everyone wear masks. You should go,you're always helping everyone,accept..it's our wa-"
"It's our way of thanking you" we could see in front of the door Bruno with a smile on his face.
"Did you really need to cut me Bruno? I mean what I was saying?" asked Sherry
"Haha,Sorry"
"...So Yusei,will you go?"asked Crow
"Yeah,I will go"
"Really?! Haha, well then we can't waste more time! Bruno can you prepare the carriage?"continued Crow
"Yeah"
"See you later...Ah, that's right, dont forget your outfit!" said Sherry
"OK"
"Eh? Bruno is also going?"asked Aoi
"Yeah..now,Yusei I will help you to put this dress, during that time Sherry will prepare the make-up"said Crow
"wha-What make-up? I never needed to wear some before"
"Well Yusei, If you're going to a ball,as a girl, of course you'll need to wear make up"added Sherry
"It's not like if I could go as what I really am...What's more,I don't have the right...even tonight"
"come on Yusei, It's just for tonight,...Now hurry and go change!"said Crow with a happy face
" Okay,Okay" Aoi (Yusei) and Crow entered in Yusei's room. During that time, Sherry was preparing some stuff. On the other side of Yusei's room, we could hear Yusei yelling "No way!"
"Come on"
"I'M not going to wear a stuffed bra! I never needed to wear one before"
"Yusei, that's because you always wore a loose shirt!"
"Even so!"
After a long moment of weird sound like a broken vase and some falling objects, the two of them got out. Crow had some scratch on his arms and on his face,but he had a victorious smile. Yusei was wearing the blue and black dress, with a fake chest.
" *Smile* Oh? It looks good on you,Crow was right about those colors, they suit you"
"..."
"Now Crow, you also need to wear your outfit, go"said Sherry to the orange haired young man
"Yeah, see you later" Crow took his outfit and entered in Yusei's room
"Now...took off this wig and those contact lenses" Yusei compleyed and took them off.
"First, I am going to straighten your hair, ok?"
"hum" After that, she worked on Yusei's had really pretty eyes with long eyelashes so she didn't need to do much for those. She added some colour to his cheeks and finished it with a touch of pink 'gloss' on his lips. Crow triyed to have a peek of Yusei but of course Sherry didn't let him. As a finishing touch, she gave the cobalt eyed boy some earrings that you could 'clip' (because his ears didn't have holes)
"There you go, look at yourself, I could definitly fall for you, you're beautifull.." Yusei looked at himself in the Mirror. His hair, jet black with golden highlights, were tied in a really awersome bun with some wavy and curly locks of hair. His cobalt eyes were of the same color of the dress and he had a red rose in his hair It felt like if he was someone else...another person.
*Opening door* "...Wow"
"Sherry and Yusei turned to face Crow. "You see, now there isn't even a difference between you and the nobles. If not, I think that you're even better than them"continued Crow with a smile
"..Crow your hair..."said Yusei
"Ah, Yeah, I also straighten them...how do it look like?"
"..well, It's actually not bad..."
"Haha,right?" (a/n: I also posted on my profile, what Crow would look like with straight hair)
"Now,now, you should be going, dont' you think so?"asked Sherry
"Hum, Yeah...but"said Crow.
"What is it?" asked Yusei
"I think that you would look better without this" Crow approached Yusei and took off the red rose that held his hair in a bun. Yusei's hair fell down on his shoulder.
"...?"
"Ah,sorry..but I like you better like this. I think that a red rose doesn't suit."continued Crow with a smile before taking Yusei's hand and exiting the room but then before Yusei also passed trough the door, he turned around and told Sherry, with a smile "Thank you, Sherry"
"You're Welcome, Be safe"
XXXXX IN THE CARRIAGE XXXXXX
Crow and Yusei were Inside of it and Bruno was holding the reins of the Pegasus.
"I'm happy to know that you accepted to come"
"...No,I..I should thank you..for inviting me"
"..*Smile*...You know, Yusei...I preferd you like this"
"Like this?...You mean as a girl?"
"No..as yourself, I mean...with your real name, your real eyes and hair"
" *Smile* Thanks"
The carriage stopped. Bruno descended and opened the door "We're here"
