Chapter 2: The Ball

Tira finished getting ready and walked out to where everybody was waiting at. Tira pushed two strands of hair behind her ears. She smiled and looked at Carrot's, Marron's and Gateau's.

"You look very nice, Tira," Marron told her. She smiled wider with a slight blush. Chocolate came in the room. She wore a black tight dress that didn't have any sleeves and strapped platforms. She instantly appeared at Carrot's side.

" Darling, I'm ready!" She said. They walked to where, Big Momma said that the ball was being held. Marron held out his arm for Tira and she took it happily. Chocolate and Carrot walked in together and Marron and Tira walked in together. 'I need to get her alone,' Marron thought.

" Carrot, you and Chocolate go look for the sorcerer on the dance floor, Tira and I will look for her by the refreshment table. Gateau.just.walk around," Marron told everyone. Chocolate pulled Carrot to the dance floor. Tira blushed slightly at the thought of her and Marron alone. Marron took her hand as the walked to the refreshment table.

" Do you want any punch?" Marron asked Tira.

" Yes, thank you," She said as he began to pour punch. He handed her a cup of punch and took a sip of his own.

" Remember when I was about to ask you a question, but Big Momma called up?" He asked. Tira nodded.

" Well.I wanted to let you know that I really like you." Marron started. Tira smiled.

" Really?" She asked.

" Yes, and I wanted to know. Do you want to be my girlfriend?" Marron asked almost shyly. Tira's heart skipped a beat and her smile widened.

" Yes, I'll be your girlfriend," She said hardly able to control her excitement. Marron smiled and took her hand in his. He bent a little and kissed her fingers lightly and slowly rose again. Tira and Marron stared deep into eachothers eyes, leaning in slowly in kissing postion and.

" Uh oh! Marron, I always knew you had it in you. The girl chasing genes finally kicked in," Carrot exclaimed and hit his little brother on the back. Tira and Marron both blushed, pulling away from each other. An anime like sweat drop appeared on both their faces.

" Carrot do you ever stay in your own affairs?" Marron asked calmly with slight embarrassment. Carrot laughed.

"Do you ever loosen up? So do yall go out or what?" He asked. Tira and Marron looked into each others eyes and Marron took her hands.

" Why yes my brother, we do," Marron said glazing into his loves eyes.

"This is so sweet I think I'm going to throw up. Please, don't show your affections in front of me!" Carrot said and walked away covering his eyes. Marron and Tira paid no attention to his antics. They stared deeply, and made another attempt of meeting at the lips. Marron cupped her chin in his hand and slowly pressed his lips to hers. A light kiss turned into a passionate kiss with which had caught the attention of Gateau and Chocolate.



" Look at those two!" Chocolate exclaimed happily.

" They need to get a room," Gateau said bitterly and sourly. Chocolate knew of Gateau's longing for Marron.

" Hey look at it this way, you can dance with anybody here," Chocolate said. Gateau looked at her then began talking to a group of women who of which were all impressed because of his large muscles. Chocolate sighed and looked over her shoulder. Her eyes turned to anger and her teeth gritted as she saw Carrot flirting with an attractive girl.

" Carrot," She whispered in an agitated tone. She dragged him by his ear to a corner and began to continuously hit him hard.

" Ow,Ow! Help! Ouch! Hey! OW! AAAAAHHHHHHH!," He screamed in pain. Tira looked over at the scene and laughed.

" They are something aren't they," Tira said. Marron smiled but the it faded a little.

" I remember when you helped your sister in the torcherings of my brother when ever he did such things." He said string blankly at Chocolate and Carrot. Tira sighed.

" Lets forget about the past," Tira said. Marron smiled and took one of her hands in his.

" Lets dance," He said and they slowly walked out into the dance floor. Marron took one of her hands in his and placed his other on her hip. He danced with much grace, but Tira wasn't surprised. She knew how graceful he was. Their bodies moved together as if it was one. The stared deep into each others eyes and.

" Ladies and gentlemen," the host said into the microphone. Everyone stopped what they were doing at looked toward the stage. There was a throne and a person wearing a silky black cape and a gothic tuxedo was. He had a single back rose sticking up from his coat pocket. Carrot, Chocolate and Gateau walked up to Tira and Marron. They looked at the man who just walked out.

" That's the sorcerer," Marron said in a low calm voice. Chocolate looked at the man in black.

" Hmmm.He's a cute little sorcerer." She said smiling.

" How are we going to get rid of him with out causing a scene?" Gateau asked. Marron, Tira, Chocolate, Gateau, and Carrot looked at each other . Then Tira smiled.

" Chocolate how honored would you feel to get to know our host a little better." Tira said with a smirk. Chocolate smiled. The sorcerer chatted on for a bit and then turned it over to the musicians. He walked slowly from the platform.

" Now's your chance Chocolate," Tira said. In a low whisper. Chocolate got close to him and "accidentally" bumped into him.

" Oh I'm so sorry, how clumsy I am!" Chocolate said. The sorcerer chuckled.

" Oh it's quite alright my dear miss..?" He trailed off leaving her to finish.

" Misu, But please call me chocolate," She said with an innocent smile. He licked his lips.

" Mmm. Chocolate Misu what a delicious name!"he said smirking ( lol! Sorry I couldn't resist putting that. And if you didn't know chocolate misu is a type of food). Chocolate laughed absent mindedly.

" Do you care to dance?" He asked with a glinting smile.

" Oh I would love to. I would be much happy to get to know you a little better," She said, making the last part a little seductive sounding. He held out his arm to her and led her to the dance floor. Tira, Marron, Carrot and Gateau watched as their plan began to progress.

" It'll be no time before we have that sorcerer destroyed.," Tira said smiling.

" I'm just glad that she's not chasing me," Carrot said in a frank voice. A sweat drop appeared on the hunters faces.

" Ok.Now I'm going to get chocolate alone for a minute and tell her our plan, " Tira said, " Uh. what is our plan?" Tira questioned. Everyone began to think, or in Carrots case pretend to think while he stared at pretty girls. Marron suddenly thought of something.

" How about this," He started. He explained his plan to them, " Get Chocolate to ask him to give her a ride home and we'll be waiting just inside the forest right next to the path. Chocolate will ' accidentally' drop something on the ground and when he stops we'll ambush him"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lata that night~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tira, Marron, Carrot, and Gateau were in the woods. Tira was cold so Marron wrapped her in his arms.

"Oh how sickening" Carrot said in a cutish voice. Marron and Tira ignored him. They then heard something up the path. Marron hushed everyone. They heard twigs snap and crack. Then they heard their cue.

" Oh I'm sorry, I just dropped my purse, can you stop please?" She asked. He stopped and she got out. Gateau ran up and hit him. He fell but got up quickly.

" Ha! I should have known this was trickery!" He said moving his hand through his hair so that the hunters saw the sorcerers mark. Marron threw a ward aimed for his mark. The sorcerer let out a horrible scream and changed into a hideous creature. Tira stepped infront of Marron as the demon shot a fire ball at him. Tira took out her whip and whipped it away. She shot into the air bringing her mallet down hard on the demons head. Then chocolate shot him through his back heart with her garrot. The sorcerer fell over convoluting. He disgustingly melted into a puddle of melted bones, skin and blood. The hunters looked at their filthy clothes and then at eachother. Marron took Tira;s and they walked back to the house.
