CHAPTER EIGHT: ANOTHER DANCE, HER LEFT SHOE
"Everybody can dance now." Narumi said and added something "When the tower clock bell rings, that means my dear newcomers, it is your curfew."
And just when they were about to sit down, somebody tapped Sumire's shoulder. She turned to face him or her or...it. But found a dirty blonde boy with big brown eyes and a goofy smile.
"Can we dance?" he asked
"Why not." she said quite unsure.
And with just a blink of an eye she is already having the best time of her life. Her smile is plastered on her face and it seems like her jaw had locked. After Sumire being swallowed in the middle of the dance floor, it is now Mikan's turn. Somebody tapped her, and they turned to see a raven-haired boy with crimson eyes..
"Can I have this dance?" he said in a Scottish accent. (Imagine Natsume in a Scottish accent.)
"Sure!" Mikan said, all bubbly and still happy as ever.
Hotaru looked at them as they disappeared to the crowd. Just then somebody whispered to her ear.
"Can the next dance be mine?" ooh,guess what, it's Ruka.
Hotaru started to panic, of coures she wouldn't show it especially if Ruka is the one she is with.
After 30 minutes of dancing and twirling, the tower clock rang, signaling the curfew of the newcomersThe others started running to go out, and Hotaru removed the hand of Ruka from her waist,and just about to run when Ruka accidentally stepped on the hem at the back of her dress. so the result: Hotaru stumbled, her mask went flying across the room and so does her left shoe. Sumire and Mikan saw that and told her to keep her head down while Sumire 'rescued' her mask,they totally forgot her left shoe.
When Sumire gave back Hotau's mask. They helped her stand up, Hotaru removed her right shoe and clutched it, then off they go.
While Ruka was left dumbfounded. Someone yelled,"I found her shoe!" yelled Kitsuneme
"Kitsuneme, would you mind if I take it?" Ruka asked him.
"No, I don't mind. But don't tell me you're-" Kitsuneme was cut off by Ruka's glare.
"Don't you dare continue that sentence, if you don't want to see a legion of snakes in your room, waiting to devour you." Ruka's voice was full of venom.
"Y-yes, s-sir." Kitsuneme stuttered
...ooOooOooOooOooOooOoo...
Meanwhile at the newcomers' secret dorm. Hotaru was going berserk for losing her shoe...
"But your highness, you've never been mad for losing your shoe before." Sumire stated.
"Well,first of all, it is a gift from my mother. And I promised her that I will take good care of it." then she turned to Mikan.
"Mikan, Call my hairstylist and and I want him here IMMEDIATELY!" she ordered, which Mikan did what she was told to do.
After 3 minutes of waiting, Hotaru's hairstylist came with all the equipments he needed.
He bowed and said, "I can see it is an emergency, your highness."
"Cut it short." Hotaru commanded
"Too short or just below your shoulders?" he asked
"Three inches below my shoulders." she said and he did his job perfectly.
"Nice job." Hotaru said
"Anytime your highness." he replied, bowed, then walked out.
"We had a long day, I guess we all deserve a rest."
they all nodded and changed into their pajamas and removed their disguises and washed their faces.
They had a long day indeed.
