Yup, hello there...I know it's been what? a year? that I haven't updated...whahaha just kidding. Anyways you enjoy this chapter :D


LUKA

"Well…well…what do we have here? A princess in disguise…in a raggedy suit, that is… what a pleasant surprise Captain Jack Sparrow, yes?"

Lily stated teasingly circling Luka while scrutinizing her from head to toe.

Apparently, Luka is wearing a pirate costume [Mind you it looked more like of Penelope Cruz's outfit, she looked hot right? Hehehe] of course with a black mask that only covers her eyes.

"I'll take that as a compliment…Why I am too stunned of you than me…and who might you be? Little puss in boots, I guess?"

Luka retorted sarcastically, sounding a bit annoyed while twitching slightly her right brow.

"Oh my why I didn't realize…must be the lights' doing, won't you agree?"

Lily is evidently sweat drooping while averting her gaze to where the disco light is. On the hand, Luka just face palm.

Baka…she's too embarrass to admit hehe well mine's better who cares, Luka thought but she didn't dare say it out loud. Lily seemed to read what's on her mind so she distracts Luka in her trance.

"Come on Luka the party is almost starting…we better not miss a second to meet your bride to be hehe"

Lily teased Luka while dragging her to the Ball room.

Finally they've arrived at the Ball room wherein guests are already gathering around. Luka and Lily were standing at the stairs that goes down to the vast dance floor while drinking wine.

There, you can see rich people dressed in different costumes such Zorro, Batman and whatnot. [Yeah seems like a cosplay gathering to me than a masquerade ball whaha]. But there were a group of people that did catch Luka's attention. A blonde who wore a fitted black tuxedo with a red tie and black shiny shoes, he let his hair fall on one side of his face and tying the rest in a ponytail while wearing a red mask that covers his eyes only. The other blonde wore a strapless red gown with a slit on her right leg while tying her hair in a bun wearing a black mask same style with the blonde boy. Also she's wearing a black lipstick with 6 inches of black hells. [Take note both of them had matured looks…physically actually…so Rin had enough boobs to hold off her gown and a long blonde hair as well…though Miku's boobs is still bigger than her haha]. Lastly, a teal haired girl wearing a fitted white backless gown that's enough to touch the ground with a see-through lining on both sides of her curves while wearing a killer red hells and a red mask (looked like from the phantom of the opera mask). She let her curly hair down on her left shoulder while wearing crimson lipstick. [At last, people who understood that it's actually a MASQUARED BALL (^o^)]. Of course there were others who wear typical gowns and tuxedos but didn't quite stand out. [I have no idea for apparent reasons…I mean really really hehe]

Certainly, they've been the center of attraction until the butler formally announced the start of the ball and welcomed everyone. That made Luka winch out of her stupor to the beautiful creatures in the middle of the crowd, especially the teal haired girl that's painfully familiar to her.

"Are you eying someone Lu-ka-chan~?"

Of course Lily knew from the beginning coz' she's also eying someone.

"Oh…I wonder who's eying a certain blonde girl who's wearing red gown, ne?"

Lily just twitches her brows and crossed her arms across her chest while looking on her right side pouting, for she's been caught off guard by her own teasing.

Luka retorted triumphantly but she was caught off guard in a minute.

For a moment they've realized that their outfits were no match for that certain group but that didn't bother them to the bones for they were not the only ones. Then, Luka's parents came out of nowhere with smoke around them and currently standing in the middle of the dance floor with a spot light. They greeted and welcomed everyone and wished them to enjoy the rest of the night and everyone applauded. The ball has started, some guests where slow dancing on the dance floor, others were just chatting in the corner with a glass of champagne. While Miku's small groupie started talking to Luka's parents and this boosted Luka's curiosity.

"It's wonderful you made it here Hatsune-san, you look gorgeous"

Luka's father stated as a matter of fact of course.

[Yep…did I mention that Miku attended the Victoria's Secret Show as VIP of course then after that she had her own show to handle for her winter collection, so she hastily flew back to Japan to find out that she had little time to prepare for this ball so she had to rely on her mother's capacity…and I think you know the story from then].

"Yes, indeed hon…she would make a wonderful daughter-in-law"

Luka's mother added that made Miku blushed in a deep shade of red.

"Well thank you but please enough with the flattery already…you yourselves Mr. and Mrs. Megurine were gorgeous and wonderful as well"

Miku retorted while genuinely smiling.

"You're right Miku-chan they're a lovely couple"

Rin agreed while Len simply nodded in agreement. [Don't know why Len is being so quiet all this time…maybe I'll give the guy some love? Don't you agree? Hehe maybe later].

"Okay…so let's drop all the formalities here shall we?"

Mr. Megurine said with a snap of his fingers to capture the attention of the waiter. After that they've found themselves having a toss of champagne.

Not from afar, Luka and Lily were watching Miku's conversation the Megurines.

"Can you guess what they're talking about Luka?...it's like they've known each other for what? Months? Years?...any idea who they are Luka-chan?"

Although Lily had a hunch already she pretended to look as curious as Luka. [Hehe I made Lily in this story a bit smarter than Luka but not boastful at all].

"Nope…haven't seen them before, though the teal haired one is painfully familiar to me"

Then Luka took a sip in her champagne while Lily only smirk hearing Luka's comment.

Back to Miku's table

"Care to dance Lenny~?"

Rin is already standing, looking a bit seductive while offering her hand to her twin. She on her right and give Miku a wink.

"Yeah…you seduced me already"

Len dryly responded to his twin coz' he knows there's something up in her sleeves every time she do that but he still took her hand.

"Please excuse us"

Rin stated as they headed to the dance floor merging with the crowd and poof they're gone, they vanished from Miku's sight.

Miku knew that Rin understood that she needed to be alone with the Megurines for they had important matter to discuss, aside from that Rin knew nothing about her betrothal coz' Miku told them that the Ball is all about Business.

"Now, shall we discuss the cause of this Ball?"

Miku nonchalantly blurted with a straight face while smiling on the side of her lips. She actually handles this like proposing a business deal. [Well of course how would she know things aside from business, she actually never had romantic interest to someone. But she do have Platonic love for herself, parents and her best friends.]

"I thought you'd never ask, dear"

Luka's mom commented and definitely looked quite amused by Miku's bluntness.

"Well…we might as well care to have a private room coz' it seems a bit noisy here, yes?"

Luka's dad added warily, and then he leads the way to a silent room.

The room looks like the study room coz' there's lot of books in the shelves, a mahogany table and a laptop on it. Also, there's a round table with four red soft chairs and a flower vase full of red roses on it. All in all, it's vast that it had a comfort room inside.

The moment Miku sat down comfortably on the chair, she suddenly asked,

"So…where is he?...I want to meet him"

This shocked the couple for they didn't think that Miku is such a straight forward person. [Perhaps it's a habit that Miku acquired from her busy schedule]. But they've noticed that Miku referred to Luka as HE but they didn't mind correcting her for it might have been a slip of a tongue.

"Oh, that's right we can't start until everyone's here"

Then Luka's dad snaps his fingers and a butler came out of nowhere, then he whispered into the butler's ear. The butler then bowed humbly to them and hastily goes out of the room.

Unfortunately, the phone of Luka's dad rang then he excused himself and started to talk to someone on the other line. His face suddenly turn into grim when he heard about something and his voice now is sounding a bit angry, not wanting to hear from what that person might say he hung up the phone.

"Hon, is everything all right?...What happened?"

"Ah, it's about our branch in China…We have a competition and our sales are dropping in the first quarter of the year", he looked so anxious and a little embarrass in front of Miku.

"Oh, what a very bad timing…We better have an urgent meeting this instant?"

"B-but wh-what about Ms. Hatsune?"

"Well I definitely can handle myself sir, I think… as long as he doesn't bite, that is… right now, just do what you must do…I understand your current situation"

Miku stated while still having a straight face but deep inside she's nervous as hell, not showing any kind of weakness.

Then the butler came as a sign that he completed his task already and now ready to serve to again.

"Oh, I see you must have passed the details already, I suppose?"

Luka's mom asked the butler.

"Yes Madame", the butler responded.

Then she focused to Miku.

"Hatsune-san thank you for your consideration…I do hope you two would have a good time…please excuse us"

Right then and there the couple hastily got out of the room leaving Miku in a painfully nervous situation.

And because of that she felt like she needed to go to the comfort room. So she did, just right after she closed the comfort room's door, Luka came in the study room.

"Oh where's everybody?...any idea?"

Luka asked the butler.

And the butler motioned to the comfort room.


Well I did Promise that I will let them see each other but I just can't let go of the THRILL...hehehe
