Ball Masque (chapter 4)

When they entered the hall, they stared their eyes out. The hall was decorated beautifully, with garlands and balloons. At a table at the side stood food and drinks. A DJ was playing songs, and next to the DJ stood a table with a few teachers sitting behind it. It turned out that they were the jury.

The group walked over to a few chairs, and sat down. Matt and Izzy went to get drinks for everyone, and they talked for a while.

Matt was staring at Tai. Tai was talking to Davis and Ken, and apparently what they told him was rather funny.

Tai's smile was really beautiful. It could light up an entire room... Tai turned his head, and saw that Matt was staring at him. Matt smiled, and a blush crept up Tai's face...

Matt thought it made Tai really cute.

Suddenly, Matt heard a song he really liked. It was kind of slow... So he stood and stuck his hand out to Tai. "Can I have this dance?" Tai smiled, and accepted his hand.

The dance floor was full of other couples, and Matt and Tai joined them. They danced for a while, and Matt really enjoyed being so close to Tai. Their body's fitted perfectly together. And Tai smelled really nice too... it was intoxicating.

Matt smirked. 'I think I'm getting addicted...' He pulled Tai even closer. Then he spotted the jury to his left. They where watching the couples that were dancing, and were taking notes.

"Taichi.." He whispered in Tai's ear "time to impress the jury." Tai looked up and smiled. "Okay..."

They continued to dance, but they stayed near the jury. When Matt was sure that the jury was looking at them, he flashed them a smile, showing his fangs. Then he bit down at Tai's neck.

Tai gave a small yelp, and slumbered against him. Matt catched him easily, and kept him close, pretending to suck up blood. He flickered his tongue out, and licked at Tai's skin.

He got some fake blood on his tongue. It tasted quite nice... He heard Tai giggle softly. Then he pulled back. He saw the two puncture marks he had in the wax, which contained the fake blood that Mimi had attached to Tai's neck.

The fake blood made two trails down Tai's neck, and Matt felt the sudden urge to lick it up… So, to contain himself, he looked up, and saw that the jury was still watching them.

He smiled at them, and licked his lips, to remove any fake blood that was still there. Tai was still hanging against him, and was becoming rather heavy. "He Taichi…" Matt whispered, "You can stand now…"

Tai sighted and whispered back "It's a shame… I'm rather comfy this way." Matt smirked, and helped Tai to stand on his feet again.

Suddenly, someone tapped Matt on the shoulder. Matt turned, and saw their English teacher, Mr. Otoshi, who was one of the jury members, standing there. "So…" Mr. Otoshi said, "I'm guessing you're a vampire Yamato…"

"Yeah…" Matt reacted. He was wondering why Mr. Otoshi came to them. The jury usually stayed behind their desk…  Mr. Otoshi continued. "I think you want to know why I came to you."

Matt nodded. "Well… we," Mr. Otoshi pointed at the rest of the jury, "were wondering who the lovely lady is you're with."  Matt looked at Mr. Otoshi, surprised. "You don't know who this is?"

"Should I know?" Mr. Otoshi asked, and he looked at Tai. Tai became very red. "Great" he muttered, "this is the last time I let you talk me into something…"

Mr. Otoshi blinked a few times. He knew that voice… "Taichi?" Tai became even redder, and nodded. "Yes sir…" Mr. Otoshi blinked again, and looked at Tai more closely. Then a smile came to his face. "Ah, I see it now… I must say Taichi, you look very pretty."

Matt hugged Tai from behind, and said "He sure does…"  Mr. Otoshi's smile grew bigger. "You keep an eye out for him Yamato…" Then he turned, and went back to the jury table.

Tai turned to look at Matt. "What did he mean with that last remark?" Matt shrugged. "I don't know.. It doesn't matter." They danced for a while longer, and then they went back to the table they where earlier.

Sora, Mimi, Joe and Cody where also there. They talked for a while, when Tai whispered in Matt's ear  "I have to go to the boys room. I won't be long…" Matt nodded, and Tai walked to the toilets.

When he entered, he saw three boys at the other end of the room. Tai couldn't see what they where doing, and he didn't want to know either. He quickly went into one of the cubes, and locked the door.

Mimi had made him wear panties, and now he knew why girls complained about them so much…

When he came out of the cube, he saw that the boys where looking at him. He quickly went to wash his hands. When he turned to leave, he saw that his way was blocked.

"So, what have we got here…" One of the boys said. Tai looked him in the face. Somehow, this guy looked familiar. He had seen him before, but he didn't knew where… "Aren't you in the wrong room?"

O great. These boys also thought he was really a girl. Mimi had done a great job, but he had to kill Yama later…

He backed away, but the boys followed him. Suddenly, his back touched a wall… Tai realised he was standing at the wrong side of the toilet… the door was at the other side of the room…

He looked down, and saw a few bottles standing there.. They had been drinking. Tai was almost sure the boys where drunk.

Two of the boys where standing next to Tai, one at each side, and the one that had spoken earlier was standing in front of him. He had his hands leaning against the wall at each side of Tai's head.

"Mmm… pretty…" The boy in front of Tai murmured, and he reached with one hand to touch Tai's face. "Don't touch me." Tai said. The boy stopped in surprise, realisation sinking in that this was not a girl in front of him.

Suddenly, a smile came to the boys face. "I recognize you now! You're Taichi Kamiya, right?" He didn't wait for Tai to answer. "Oh, this is really wonderful… I come to all of your soccer games, you know?"

'So, that's why he looked familiar', Tai thought. "I love to watch you. You're so graceful when you play soccer… One time, I got a closer look at you, when I walked past you in school… and I realised that you where just beautiful…"

Tai was starting to get a bit scared by now… He didn't like the way this was going…

"And I started to wonder what it would be like to kiss you… But you are never alone… Did you know that? There are always people around you… I can understand though… But now, you're finally alone…"

At this point, Tai was really scared. He tried to get away, but the boy in front of him said to the others  "Hold him."

Tai felt how at each side, two hands gripped his wrists tightly, and he couldn't move…

TBC….
