It felt empty to her within the noisy ballroom as she hears ice cold marble hitting her heels. Her brown hair hunched up gave her a strange itch at the back of her head as she drags self to find a partner to dance. Like any young women her age and time love was a want then a necessity. Reading books about forbidden love, childhood romance and even mortal enemies finding comfort within each other it gave her excitement within her aristocrat life. The smell of paper hitting each other was stupefying to her. The cloudiness of her inner thoughts hazed her sight as she bumped into him. She quickly secured her mask as she looked up into glacial blue eyes, but his smile was tepid. Half his face was covered by a beautiful black mask and his blonde hair was slicked back. She was studied his appearance caused him to chuckle at her. She quickly mustered herself to reality.
"Do you always observe people you bump into?" His voice was surprisingly smooth. Her cheeks suddenly resembled roses as her amber eyes begun to avoid his eyes. Meanwhile he was committed to resumed eye connect with the addition of small talk. "Let me recommend for a solution. You give least one dance for your clumsiness."
"Fine, but you have to keep up. I do find your ignorance insulting for having such refined appearance." Her red cheeks disappeared as she seized his hand as the man was yanked into other heart of the room. As a rush of confidence risen within her. She held him close and waited for the next song to begin. "I hope you can keep up. My dance instructors have told me I was prodigious dancer. A modern prodigy within the art itself."
"Will I not be entrusted with a name before you gloat?" He chuckles as new song begin, and they soon started dancing. She shrugs at him and ponder at his question. She smirked at him in which she was returned with a puzzled looked. "If you give me a dance that will amaze me. I will award you will with me my name. A fair exchange."
"I hope you know that you bumped into me, but this dance would be considered an exchange. I will give you a dance just do not turn into a klutz." He gave her a bright smile then beautiful dance. At times she would try to out do him but somehow could match her and even at times would out do her. Soon enough eyes begin to watch them with the music was trying companied their steps. In the distance she could see her brother in the distance watching. Like any little sister the heat of bashfulness that she tries to keep at bay. The dance itself was stunning as she startled as his abilities to match her so effortless. Within a blink of an eye the dance was done and suddenly eyes were withdrawn. His smirked was planted on to his covered face.
"Hikari." "Huh?" "My name is Hikari, Hikari Yagami."
"A beautiful name for a beautiful lady." He slowly removes himself from her and gentle grasps her right hand. He made sure she stared at his freezing blue eyes and planted a kiss. He coolly walked away into a crowd as she was stunned as she brought her hand upon her chest. He was quite tall with pearl white teeth and he was surely handsome gentleman under that mask.
"I do not recall his name." She whispered to herself. She was sitting in her desk as she was writing within her diary. She could not think of his name as the saw her candle flicker. She brashly grabs her hand as she slammed her elbows on top of her desk causing the room to echo. How could she so inattentive to not notice she did not brag his name.
"A fair exchange."
"How can I be so negligent. He must have found no need to talk to me. Maybe I could put out a search? Yes of course. He was roughly a bit taller than brother. Blonde hair and blue eyes of course those blue eyes. So chilling and yet hypnotizing yet so rude. Yet those eyes are so freighting once I think about it. If I was some prey towards him." She whispered. Her eyes were soon caught by the window as warm glow seem to shine. She slowly walks towards it to stare at a butler outside as she sees him push forward into the dense forest. Curiosity swept her off her feet as she looked for coat near by to cover her night gown. She blows out her candle before she could follow him.
She forgot her how big the manor was with long hallways and endless stairs. She quickly hidden herself as she saw the same butler confront her father. She usually will not snoop into conversations that do not incorporated her but at times a lady must breach her lessons. She hidden herself in the stairs using the darkness in her favor.
"Sir, he is starting to act up within the shed. He is starting to act more brash" The butler voiced his concerns to the head. She noticed her father tense up a bit more. "What do we do?"
"Keep him under control. I will send out a maid to fetch more of that drug to out the thing down. I do not want that thing out of the shed. I need to find away to put that thing into rest."
"Sir, what if we- "
"NO! Do not let appearances fool you. That thing does not deserve to be treated like a man. It's a beast of pure chaos. You understand me!?" the yelled almost caused Hikari to jump but she was lucky to keep to herself. The butler how ever does not as he immediately nodded and rushed to do his next task. Leaving her father to contemplate as if lucky stuck her; as her father took the left staircase instead of the right that she concealed herself with.
Hikari quietly gotten herself up and begun to walk outside of the manor slowly pushing the door and closing it behind her gently. The words "shed", "beast", and "drugs" storming within her head. She would usually would not go outside at this night, but something came over herself. She speculated where the butler went to find this so called 'beast'. She walked where her bedroom window was based. She soon begins to walk in the direction she predicted the butler went through. She saw thicket of trees and bushes. She carefully made sure her night gown was as clean as possible to insure no suspicions. She was soon graduated towards a large shed.
The shed was a bit run down but it grows of moans and groans. The noises curled into her ears as she felt a push to check upon it. Not shockingly it was locked but as if lady luck were on her side; as she could make an oddly place rock. She pushes the rock to find a key. She quickly unlocked the door to meet eye to eye with a man in chains within a small cell with a piece of wood stuck between his mouth. As the if the same glacial eyes stared at her from the dance earlier within the night. No tepid smile to compliment it but instead a loud growl. He soon rushes towards her she falls back in pure fear. His chains stopped him from charging at her. The chain itself was connected to the wall as he soon falls back. He looked weak, tired, and with dirty old clothes. His hair was too long as only his piercing eyes can be seen though. He slowly got up lonely to be introduce to the floor was more. The icy cold floor.
"Hello?" Her voice weakens as she was scared but also sympathetic toward his eyes. She slowly came closes as she pulls herself across the floor to the cold cell. She had many thoughts as she procced with her next action. Was she stupid, dumb, naïve, childish, idiotic, brash, or maybe just maybe smart? She placed out her hand between the two cell poles for him to slowly let his head connect with her hand.
Upon the next day Hikari needed a plan for action. She felt obligated to save the man she met within the shed. Something just came over her as she was allured by the unknown man that completely fogged her subconscious. She dropped her teacup on a beautifully laced tea table. Her associate shrieked as she pushed herself away from the table which caused Hikari to snap out to notice the hot spill staining her brand new tablecloth. She pushes back her chair and saved her dark red silk dress. As the maids within the courtyard rushed in.
"Hikari. Are you okay? You are never this clumsy. That is more of you brother's trait." A young woman with pinkish hair hustled towards her. As she picked up her green gown to cheek on her. She analyzed the younger woman's face. Hikari shook her off and patted her skirt and gave her a weak smile. "Oh, nothing Mimi I was just thinking. OH! ABOUT THAT MAN! From the ball I dance with I was telling you about.
Mimi placed her fingers on her check in which Hikari started anticipated if she caught her lies. Mimi's hands slapped on her cheeks giving her a foolish smile. She started humming to herself thinking of Hikari's little love dance. "OH YES! He must be handsome and of high status with his appearance and his skills. I can envision it! Two young boys with a beautiful quiet estate in the north."
Hikari sighed at Mimi's imaginative rumblings. The more she thinks of the mysterious man the more questions she had. The similarities between him and the 'beast' in the shed was astonishing. The same shade of blonde, the same freezing blue eyes and even to the similar skin tones. Something about the 'beast' felt more welcoming. It was odd the the the chained man nearly assaulted her.
"Oh how was you and my brother doing?" Hikari expressed as the maids left to do their courtyard work. Both ladies found themselves sitting down once more. Mimi glanced at two men nearby horse riding. A taller one with brushy like who could resemble prince within fairy tales. The other a redhead a bit femininity looking and shorter who seems to be more of a reader. "Fine I guess."
Hikari smiled at she looked at her brother direction not regarding her more concerning look.
After Mimi left Hikari started walking around the manor. She needed to find a key within the cellar itself as she walks towards the library, she saw the redheaded boy from before. He noticed her and patted his robe clean to make conversation.
"Koushiro good afternoon."
"Hello Lady Hikari."
"I was wondering if you may have seen a key. I lost it for some type shed." Hikari sighed falling into her lies. Koushiro shook her head but an idea appeared within his head. He brought her close and told her about a little trick with bobby pin.
Hikari backed a little bag for herself as she placed a blanket, some food, water, a lighter and a candle. She waited for the butler to head back into the manor, and she began to make her way towards the shed this time lighting up her candle. She went into the thicket then pushed the rock to find the key. She notices he was on the ground less responsive then yesterday. She quickly unlocked the cellar door and made her way towards the man. She placed his head on top of her of her knees. She figured the wood was connected to two pieces of cloth that tied around his head. She gently on untied it and patted his head.
"Takeru! TAKERU!" his brothers voice called for him, but he was too weak. The flames were too hot. Why are flames so hot he wondered. He always wonder if they were okay. He hoped so then him entering this burning home would have been so childish. He chuckled to himself as succumb to the heat. Why did he need to be the hero?
"Hey, wake up are you okay?" Her voice was nice and comforting as if he was a child with this mother. She smelt nice like flowery spring day. He was stormed with many thoughts. DRinK Her BLoOD. hOW dARe THeY TRiP uS HERe END hER. He pushed those wicked thoughts down not fancying thought of hurting someone so gentle. His mind begun to cloud about time. How long was he here? It felt like days but he knew it was years. "I brought you some food and a blanket. Let me get you out of there."
Hikari anxiously helped him. She used the bobby pin to unlock the chains. Soon enough she was graduated with a firm tender hug. His reaction was enough words for her to understand his gratitude. She was soon released, and he just stared at her. She took a deep breathe and came closer to her. She pushed backed his hair away from his face and if the stars aligned.
A handsome face for a beautiful one.
Tender amber eyes staring at chilling blue ones.
