Yamato looked frantically around. She was nowhere in sight. Oh how it hated those bright glittering lights, the sounds of glass clinking and people laughing. It made his head spin. Yamato looked to the left and to the right, and then out of the corner of his right eye he caught a glimpse of silver. Knocking over a man, and then scrambling to his feet, Yamato rushed over the punch table where she was.
"Here let me get that for you." He tried to offer some punch to her. Yamato could smell her flowery perfume.
"I am not a handicapped you know. I can do it." Yamato felt ice-cold fingers grip at his heart. She was turning him away! Still, he could not help but glance her over.
"I know that, you look very able breasted, I mean able bodied!" Yamato blushed furiously. "Just let me get that for you." He took the ladle from her soft hands and scooped a cupful of punch into a glass. She caught a glance of him from the shadows. He's very well put together. "Here is your punch. And by the way, my name is Yamato."
"What is your title?" She asked curiously.
"Does a title matter at all?" Yamato knew some Dukes were against his father and his liberal plans for the kingdom. His father's plans were not bad; they just weren't for the tradition sense. Duke Takenouchi was a man who led the group against his father. "What is your name?"
"Sora, Sora Takenouchi." Yamato gulped at this.
"Are you okay? Are you breathing!?"
"Oh...my punch was swallowed too quickly." The hired band started to play, and the lead singer started to croon out a fast song. "May I have this dance?" Sora giggled and slightly blushed as Yamato took her hand. Putting down their glasses, they enter the dance floor. Stepping to the beat, the pair cruised around on the dance floor, talking as they danced. Soon Sora was a little breathless as she excused herself for more punch. At the table a familiar face stopped her.
"Sora! You look so...breathtaking in that silvery dress!" Her best friend Mimi Tachikawa stepped up to her. Handing her a cup, Mimi asked: "So who was that you were dancing with?" Sora motioned in Yamato's direction, as Taichi had found Yamato again. "You were dancing with Taichi!" Mimi gasped with a twinge of jealously.
"No, no Mimi. I know he's all for you. I was dancing with Yamato." Mimi gasped again.
"What! What is the matter with that?"
"Sora, you know that Yamato's father is the Duke of Yorkshire right? And that his father and your father, the Duke of Kensington, are arch-rivals!"
"He-he can't be! Oh Mimi, what do I do? I-I-I like him!" Mimi sighed, for when Sora fell for some guy, she falls hard. Handing her best friend a cup of fruit punch, she walked over to the two guys.
"Hey Taichi, hello Yamato." Both guys greeted her back. "Taichi, will you please excuse us?" Yamato nodded to Taichi, and with a look of disappointment, Taichi turned to leave. "Wait just a minute mister!" Taichi turned around as Mimi jumped into his arms. She kissed his cheek with her soft pink lips. "I need just a few works with Yamato, and then I am yours for the rest of the night." Yamato smiled as Taichi's face lit up. Taichi turned around and headed to the buffet table.
"So Yamato, I see you've snagged another girl." Mimi motioned with her hand to the waiting Sora, sipping at her punch. It seemed to Yamato that a glow surrounded her body: her shapely legs, her curved hips, her... "Snap out of it!" Mimi waved her hands in front of his face.
"She is very special. Sora is so intelligent, so interesting. She is so easy to make laugh, and to blush. She seems easy to please, if you know her." Yamato sighed. "And our fathers would have a laser fight if they found out we are dancing together."
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about." Mimi replied. "She knows who you are, now that I've told her. Yamato, this love is doomed from the start, you and her parents would never allow it."
"But I do not just want to let it die! I want to find out if it was meant to be. What if we are star-crossed, are fates sealed in the Heavens? I have to know if we can work it out with our parents! I at least have to try."
Mimi nodded at this. "Then try." She leaned up and kissed Yamato's cheek gently as he hugged her lightly. Sighing, she made her way to where she last saw Taichi. Yamato shuffled though the partygoers to find Sora again.
"Mimi holding you up?" Sora asked. "She was always the one to talk for an eternity." She joked. Yamato took her hand again sadly as a slow song was being played. Yamato sighed as he swirled Sora around, her silver dress sparkling.
He whispered gently in her ear. "I know who you are. And I know who I am." Yamato turned her around. Their hands let go as the dance proceeded. Bowing fully, Yamato stood up and grabbed Sora from behind, and let her go again. Sora found an opportunity to talk.
"Our parents will never allow it. What shall we do?" Sora whispered back. The dance dictated they part again, and this let Yamato think for a bit.
"Run away with me." He breathed. Sora's voice caught in her throat, she did not know what to say. If she left, her father would be greatly upset and would have parties of men searching for her. If she stayed, she will be missing something. And that something will be Yamato.
"When?" Sora caught another chance before he twirled her around with her arm flung out.
"After the party. The guards will be full of alcohol and will be asleep at their posts." Yamato tickled her ear with his hot breath. She gulped and nodded at him. The song continued. Yamato and Sora were perfect dance partners, never misjudging the distance, never missing a beat, never stepping on each other's feet. A large amount of the dancers had stopped to witness the spectacle of the pair. Also in the crowd were Yamato's mother and father.
"Hey, I did not know Yamato was such a wonderful dancer." His mother exclaimed as she watched her son.
"He takes after his father. A regular old chip off the block. Say, who is the exquisite girl he is dancing with?"
"Well, she looks familiar. Yes, butler? Who is Yamato's dance partner?"
"The mademoiselle who is Yamato's partner? Oh she is Sora Takenouchi." Yamato's parents took a sharp intake of air.
"No..." Yamato's mother whispered. "What has my child gotten himself into?" The song ended as applause followed. Yamato's father walked over to his son, who happened to be at a dessert table.
"Hey son, great dancing out there." His father could not help but be supportive.
"Father, I know I cannot see her anymore, but-but I love her!" His father's face turned dark. "Excuse me." Another song had started and Yamato sought Sora out. They danced smoothly. At the end, Yamato swept Sora into his arms and leaned over. She put her arms around his neck as he put his around her slim waist. Stepping into the shadows, Yamato placed a firm kiss on her lips.
"Sora, I-I..."
"Hmm?"
'It is nice here with you." Yamato led her out to a balcony.
"Wow!" Sora exclaimed as they turned their eyes to the sky. "The stars are so bright, and so close. And cast your eyes to the moon! How pure and white it is tonight." Sora turned nervously to Yamato, who had been watching her this whole time. She shivered.
"Cold?" He asked as she nodded. Wrapping his arms around her, they once again lifted their eyes to the sky. Funny, Yamato thought, the moon does not seem as white anymore. In fact, it has a tinge of red to it. He placed his doubts to his eyes, which had been for the past two hours, inside with laser lights.
"Yama? Does the moon look a little...red now?" Looking at the moon a final time, the couple noticed in alarm the moon had turned a bright blood red. "Oh no..." Sora breathed.
"Something is not right. We should head back to the..." Yamato was cut off with screams of horror, coming from inside. "That sounds like Mimi!" The two rushed inside, to find Sora's father standing in the middle of the dance floor.
"For the last time, I do not know where your daughter is!" Mimi shouted at the Duke Takenouchi, who had her by her neck.
"Let her go!" Taichi slammed a chair into his head. The Duke barely flinched as the chair splintered into a thousand pieces. He roared and then punched Taichi squarely in the jaw. Yamato and Sora watched the whole scene in awe. Then something inside Sora snapped as she saw her best friend dangling from the clutches of her father.
"Father! What is the matter with you? I am here." Sora stepped out onto the shiny dance floor.
"Well daughter, it seems that it is time for us to take our leave." The Duke smiled evilly as her threw Mimi to the floor. She crumpled up into a ball as she tried to scour away from the man. Taichi scooted over to her side. "Now I have heard you have been a very naughty girl, dancing with my rival's son. You know that is against the rules." Yamato walked out of the shadows and to Sora's side, taking her hand behind her back.
"Something is not right. I feel a strange, evil force here. This is not my father." Sora whispered to Yamato. Yamato's parents ran to his side.
"Duke Takenouchi, how dare you ruin the night like this. What is your explanation?" Yamato's father shouted. The Duke just roared at this, and smiled. His fangs protruded from his mouth. His fangs!? Yamato thought. The Duke's face and arms started to change, his arms rippling and muscles bursting out of the suit he was wearing. His face becoming longer, more pointed. The Duke's sking turned a horrible shade of black. He become much taller than most people, Yamato guessed about twelve feet. To complete the change, great black wings burst from his back.
The yuoma laughed evilly. "You are not my father!" Sora yelled. "What have you done with him?"
"That's right my pretty. I have done something with him! Killed him that is what I did! Actually, I am your father. I am his hatred that lived inside him, eating away at his heart. And I gained enough power and overtook his body No the Duke of Kensington is gone! Mwahahaha!" He extended his claw for his hand and swept it out over the guests. Load gasps were heard as the yuoma struck fear into the people.
"Now it is time to go home, daughter!" The former Duke grabbed Sora, Yamato had no time to react. It all happened in slow motion. Yamato jumped up at Sora, and the Duke hit Yamato with his other claw. Yamato fell to the floor with a loud groan and the yuoma swooped his wings open. Taichi grabbed onto one foot of the Duke, but was kicked off.
"Yamato! Yamato! Yamato..." Sora screamed for her love, but with no avail. The former Duke swept his claw and shattered the skylight window, sending glass shards raining down on the people. Everyone covered their faces and heads. By the time Yamato recovered, the black demon and Sora were out of sight. Yamato got to his feet and ran outside, with Mimi and Taichi hot on his heels.
Outside in the crisp air Yamato could just make out a faint figure of a winged demon against the blood red moon. "Sora! Sora! Sora!!!" Yamato fell to his knees, covering his face. When Taichi and Mimi reached him, he looked to the moon with a single tear running down his cheek. "I will get you back Sora. Even if I die in the process. I will get you back..." With that Yamato collapsed.
