**********

"Guimel, watch your mouth" Dallet snapped and Guimel covered his face with his hand; he blew it even before he had a chance. "Don't sweat it Guimel, you still have a chance, we have ALL night" Viole tried to assure but Guimel just groan. "Group huddle" Miguel whispered to the other except Guimel and all the Ds (Except Guimel) nodded and huddled.

"What's the plan?"

"For as long as I've known Guimel has never shown interest in a girl"

"So we thought he was gay"

"Until now! We have seen that he's as straight as the rest of us and for that we must have him accomplish the romantics dream!"

"What are you talking about Miguel?"

"Ohhh I know! Guimel's in love? With a woman??? Are you sure??"

"Did you see the way he look at Hitomi? Or his pants at least?"

"And why were YOU looking at his PANTS?"

"Hey I drop my vino on my pants and I happen to glance!" Viole defended but was met with snickering "That's enough, back to Guimel" Chesta stated furiously which caused all the slayers to look him surprised. "This Guimels childhood sweetheart; the first girl he's ever had feelings for, we can't let him pass up a chance like this" Chesta explain and the ds nodded vigorously. "Yes, we must have him strive for the romantic dream!!" Dallet stated enthusiastically with Viole (they're so fun to write) everyone operation; Dancing in the moonlight will commence"

"I want in!"

"GAH!! Gabrielus-sama! Er why?" Gatty ask with suspicion and Gabrielus just smirked "I happen to be a hapless romantic my self" he explain "Heh heh heh, little do they know it's part of my payback to Dilandau" he thought viciously. "Ok, you can help strategos, but how are we going to stop Dilandau-sama?" Miguel spoke and Gabrielus had a big grin plastered on his face "Just leave that to me gentlemen" he offered. Guimel gave them a strange look "What were you guys doing?" he ask taking a sip of his wine and they all laughed nervously "Nothing Guimel, nothing" Viole assured.

"Say lets dance"

"I'm up for some dancing how bout everyone else?" Miguel stated and everyone nodded, except Guimel. "Er, I'll stay here" he spoke "what afraid to ask out a girl, or a guy??"

"What was that Dallet!?!?!"

"No need to be embarrassed, you don't have the guts to ask a guy out" Dallet answered. Chesta cringe at this; he could literally see a dangerous red aura coming off of Guimel "Are you implying I'm homosexual, Dallet?!!" Guimel ask, dangerously. Gatty glanced behind him and saw Dilandau currently trying to get to Hitomi; the good thing was a lot of other guys already got to her before he did. "Good, chances are once he dances with her, we'll never see her again" he thought. He then noticed Gabrielus sneaking around and sweat formed n his brow "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to let him in on this..." he thought again.

"May I take over?"

As the man bowed down to Hitomi she was taken by another gentlemen and begin to waltz around the floor she let out a shy smile. Back on earth she was too shy to even consider someone asking for a dance but here, it felt wonderful. She glanced at the table; Yukari was giving her a thumbs up and making Millerna more irritable stating the obvious about Hitomi and how gorgeous she was and the fact she already dance with four different guys while Millerna was yet to be asked out. She also saw Allen watching her and she scowl inwardly "He's probably undressing me with his eyes" she thought disgusted. She then noticed that Gaddess was no longer with them and brows furrowed with puzzlement

"Where did he go?" she thought and her gaze went to Van; he had his head down and his knees to his chest while Merle continued to pester him; it seemed he drank a bit too much or was to depressed to be drunk. He gently rocking back and forth lost in his own little world while he held to the empty glass of vino in his hand. She tried to ignore it after what he said she should be furious at him but seeing him like that, it was too much for her to bear. "Excuse me" she apologized to the man and begin to walk towards Van. She felt her throat tightened and rubbed her arms nervously "What am I going to say; it's obvious he hates my guts, why am I even going there? Because you feel sorry for him Hitomi, that's why" She mentally spoke to herself. She then felt someone grabbed her hand and turned around she felt the blood drain from her.

"My exotic one you look stunning tonight" Dilandau purred to her and pulled her to him. As this happen Van look up and gritted his teeth as he saw the albino touching Hitomi. Wobbling he stood up and begin to grip his sword, evident that alcohol was taking influence over him. "Van-sama, wait" merle pleaded as she saw him slowly take out his sword and trying to balance himself.

"I will avenge Fanelia," he slurred he was ready to lunge and cut his head off but Merle wrapped herself around his legs and Van fell with a thud. "I knew I shouldn't have let you drink; you have such low alcohol tolerance," she exclaimed as Van struggle to get his legs out of her grip. Van just glared at Dilandau with murderous eyes how much he wanted to kill that bastard right now.

"Shall we?"

"Dilandau, here you are" Gabreilus exclaimed a little too happily. Dilandau scowled at him "What the fuck do you want?" he snapped at him. Gabrelius still gave him a cheerful smile "Oh, Dilandau you remember Grunhilda do you?" he ask and saw Dilandau's face pale.

"You wouldn't dare strategos"

"After slashing my room I have nothing to lose" he stated as he grabbed Dilandau and shoved him behind him. Dilandau stumbled and felt someone caught him he look up and his pale skin became paler "Dilandau, your so feisty tonight" the girl exclaimed in a high pitched voice and hugged him; suffocating him with her chest. As she dragged him to the dance floor Gabrielus let out a satisfied chuckle seeing the Albino giving him a death glare "Oh yes, he's definitely killing me tonight" Gabrielus said to himself and turned to Hitomi. He outreached his hand towards her "Come. He's waiting for you" he explained and with his head motioned to the fluffy headed slayer currently trying beat the crap out of Dallet.

"Who are you?" Hitomi ask and Gabrielus smile at her charming "A hapless romantic" he answered and begin to lead her towards the Ds "Uh, can I bring my friend?" she ask motioning to Yukari who was know covering her ears trying to shut out Millerna's talking.

"Sure"

"Yukari, psssst" Hitomi exclaimed and caught the red heads attention. "What?" she mouthed to her and saw Hitomi pointing to the Ds and more so at Gatty Yukari let a huge smile show "Scuse me princess, the night is young and so are the men" she spoke and quickly from the table to join Hitomi.

Dallet look up gasping and his jaw dropped "Holy shit, strategos pulled it off after all"

BAM!!

X.X

"That's for calling me a homo you dyke" Guimel exclaim victoriously and gave the other slayers a warning glance, especially Miguel and Viole. He gave them a strange look "Hey, why are all of you grinning" he ask with suspicion.

"Hitomi, Yukari, hey there" Viole said happily and guimel froze where he stood. "Guimel" Hitomi spoke with warmth and Guimel turned around. "Oh wow," he thought as he got a closer look at the second time she really did look gorgeous; hardly the cute five-year-old girl he met ten years ago. Hitomi look at him shyly, her emerald eyes glowing and Guimel gulped as color from as on his cheeks.

"Chesta, shall we" Yukari ask and gently grabbed his arm and Chesta let out a shy smile and nodded, leading her to the dance floor "Our little mushroom is all grown up" Dallet said in a maternal voice while Miguel wiped a fake tear from his eye. "Hitomi, I..." he began and outstretch his hand "Will you, what I mean to say...." this was so hard for him to say his uniform was choking him. "What guimel means to say is, will you do him the honor of giving him one dance" Gatty cut in while Guimel nodded sheepishly.

"I would love to" was Hitomi's answer and Guimel felt his heart explode from pure shock and joy then just remembered something, he didn't know how to dance. "Oh shit" he thought to himself and Hitomi knew what he thinking "Don't worry I'll lead" she said as he took her to the dance floor "okay put your arm on my waist and your other holding up with my arm" she explained and Guimel followed. Hitomi put her other hand on his shoulder "Then we move back and forth" she said beginning.

"This isn't so hard"

Guimel begin to relax and listen to the music played he look down shyly while Hitomi look back up smiling "I was worried about you" she said and not noticing came closer to him "I thought you might have gotten hurt when they came to rescue Yukari and I." she explained. "I was worried too" guimel replied and dance closer to her "Hitomi, did you ever forgot about me?" Guimel ask and Hitomi look up a bit surprised "Why would you say that?" she ask. Guimel shook his head "It's nothing important, I've never forgotten of you, I well, guh I'm not making sense, am I"

"It's alright, what matters is we're here," Hitomi answered. Guimel let out a satisfied sigh she was right now he was content all the anger, the sadness, the hate he had just melted away and the only thought was how lovely Hitomi look tonight and he didn't want it to end.

"Wow..."

"What is it, Viole?" Gatty ask and Viole motion to the dancing couple in front of them "I've never seen Guimel so happy like this; Hitomi must mean very much to him" he answered and Gatty nodded in agreement "But, it's too sad..."

"What do you mean?"

"Viole, it will never work out"

"Huh?" Viole said a bit confused "What are you talking about?" he demanded. "Viole, we are the enemy, it can't be, it never can," he said. Viole bit his lower lip he knew Gatty was right but Guimel look so content damn it didn't he deserve it? After everything he gone through?

"Wait, we can convince her to come back with us, that way she won't have to fight us or Guimel" he exclaimed a little hope shining "I don't know Viole, it's her own decision to make, from what she may see we may be working for an evil cause"

"Gatty, do see us? Working for an evil cause?" Viole ask. Gatty look at him with a serious demeanor "To be truthful, I do question what we are doing but I do this to support my family in Zaibach; it is the only way they can survive, even if it may mean selling my soul to the devil."

".....Me too, I have a little sister to think about, We may be working for a wrong cause but, it's the only way I can allow my sister to have a future, she's only eight but, when this is all over, I'm going to take my payment get my sister and we'll start a new life; one where she will be able to grow up with all the opportunities she should have; just like our father wanted." he replied. And Gatty chuckled at this "I guess we each have own little story behind our reasons."
