Chapter Eight: The Dance
"You look great!" Yukari said to Hitomi as she made her way towards her friends. She was wearing a long green spaghetti strapped dress; it brought the color of her eyes out very well. She also had a thin gold necklace around her neck, which made it appear even longer than usually.
"Thanks so do you." She replied smiling. Yukari had on a short blue skirt that showed off her legs every well and on top, she had a white tank top. Yukari always had the talent of making simple things look great.
"So where's prince charming? Aren't you here with him?" asked another pretty girl standing beside Yukari.
"Hi Merle, you're dressed to kill, as always," Hitomi replied trying to ignore the hint of annoyance in her friends voice. Merle wore a black leather mini skirt and a light pink tub top that was under an unbuttoned see through white blouse. Surprisingly, the ensemble made her look extremely hott but not even a bit slutty. "He's over there talking to his friends," she answered the question pointing towards the corner where the jocks usually hanged.
"Amano is with Gadeth getting us a drink." Yukari said while moving to the beat of the music.
"I didn't know you came with Gadeth, Merle" Hitomi said while still looking at Allen. '*Sigh* is he going to stay there all night'
"THAT'S BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T KEEP YOUR PROMISE!" Merle screamed out. Lucky, the music was very loud, only the people around them could hear her scream.
"I didn't promise you anything!" Hitomi shot back confused.
"You said you'd hook me up with Van!" she said calming down a bit, "I waited till the last minute for your call then I gave up and called Gadeth. I felt so embarrassed calling him right when he was going out the door!"
"I didn't say that I'd hook you guys up tonight!!! I said I'd try, I didn't mean right away."
"Okay calm down, it's a big misunderstanding. Lets just forget it and try to enjoy ourselves," said Yukari.
"What's a big misunderstanding?" asked Amano who just walked up with Gadeth.
"Lets go dance," Merle said while grabbing Gadeth by the arm and walking towards the dance floor.
"Um…nothing, you guys have fun, I'm going to go see what Allen is up to," with that Hitomi walked away without saying another word.

'She just had to make me feel worst didn't she?' Hitomi thought to herself as she tried to make her way through a crowd of people, 'damnit! This is supposed to be my night! I'm supposed to be happy and spending the whole time in Allen's arms. Instead, here I am, alone, feeling horrible about what happened with Van, Merle is pissed at me and I don't even know where the hell my date is!!!'
"Hey baby, wanna dance?" a weird looking guy ask Hitomi, breaking her thoughts.
"Go hump a tree!" she yelled at him.
"Touchy, touchy…" he said shacking his head, "I was just being nice," he added while moving closer to her, "you're not supposed to snap at people like that, and now, you have to make it up to me." Hitomi tried to move away but the guy caught her by her wrist.
"Let me go, you freak!" she screamed trying to break free. 'This is not happening to me!' Hitomi closed her eyes, as if afraid to see what he might do to her.
"You heard the lady, get you hands of her!" said a voice from behind.
"I was just trying to get to know the girl, I'm not hurting her or anything," the guy objected.
"I said let her go!" the voice said again, this time more aggressively.
"Fine I'm going." Hitomi felt her wrist being freed from the grip. Slowly she opened her eyes to see who helped her.
"*Gasp* Van!" she almost cried.
"Are you okay?" he asked with his voice full of concern.
"Yeah…I'm fine," Hitomi said avoiding his eyes. "Thanks…"
"No prob, you sure you don't need anything?" he reached out his hand to touch her arm.
"No, I'm fine…"
"Hey! Get your hands off my date!" she heard someone yell out. Turning around, she see saw Allen jogging up towards her.
"What do you think you're doing?" Allen yelled at Van, while removing his hand from Hitomi.
"Allen…Van is a friend…"Hitomi said quietly afraid Allen might hurt Van. "He just came to helped me."
"Is that so?" Allen said looking at Van suspiciously, "looks to me like he's helping himself to you." By now, people have stopped dancing to watch what was going on.
"Please Allen, stop…" Hitomi pleaded, trying to hold back tears.
"Ah…I think I'm going to go" Van said quietly.
"I think that's a good idea," Allen replied coldly.
"I'll see you around," Van said to Hitomi.
"Not if I can help it!" Allen said. The music has stopped now; everyone was watching to see what Van would do.
"Whatever…" the black hair boy said walking away.
"Don't you whatever me!!!" Allen snapped, putting his fist up, ready to hint Van.
"ALLEN! STOP!" screamed Hitomi breaking into tears. "I want to go home."
"But baby, the dance just started," turning around to look at her.
"I think you better take her home now," Van said with his voice still tranquil, "if you don't, than I will."
There was a long moment of silence. Hitomi could see Millerna among the crowd. Millerna was saying something to her but Hitomi couldn't hear a thing. The only words she heard were "Grab your coat and lets go," coming out of Allen's mouth.
