Disclaimer: Nope, Saiyuki doesn't belong to me! Man I feel kinda lazy
writing this over and over. Anyway, this chapter is kinda ok for me. Enjoy!
Chapter 7 Waltz of the Moon
A waltz music filled the ball room.
"Hi Nataku!" Chinatsu called, running to him and slapping his back. "Don't just stand around like an idiot here. Join the fun!" She raise her hand above her forehead and begin looking around. "Hm... let's see if there is any handsome guys around here." Then she caught her eyes on a pretty handsome guy and went to join him.
Nataku stood around awkwardly. His golden eyes swept around the ball room, watching the many god and godesses dancing.
Yuki swept her winter grey eyes around at the 'rejects'. Nah, too fat, she thought. Nope, too tall, I'll crick my neck! Too short, too stupid looking, too boring looking, too skinny.....
Yuki sighed. All the best are taken, she thought. Her eyes stopped at Nataku. Ah, there's someone who looks okay. What beautiful eyes!
Nataku too caught sight of Yuki. Her white tight dress which only reached up to her knees glimmer among the other's dark blue outfit which made her look attracting. She raised one finger, smiling. Nataku's head tilted a little in puzzlement.
Yuki strode over to Nataku.
"Ah, you're the best-looking 'reject' I've ever met," Yuki said. She grabbed one of his pale hands. "Come, dance with me!"
Nataku looked away.
Yuki looked at him curiously. "Oh, I get it," Yuki said. "You'll only dance with someone you like. Alright, look into my eyes. You're-gonna-like- me, you're-gonna-like-me. There, did it work?"
"No, it's not that," Nataku said. "I can't dance."
"I'll teach you then," Yuki said. "Come on, it's easy! I can't stand alone on the dance floor."
And with that, not giving Nataku a chance to agree or not, Yuki half led and half dragged him to the dance floor.
Another music started. Yuki placed one of Nataku's hands on her waist, grabbed his other and laid her own hand on his shoulder. Then she started dancing a few simple waltz dance steps.
Nataku tried to follow, but only ended up stepping heavily on her feet. Yuki didn't seem to mind though. Her smile widened everytime he stepped on her.
"Geez, you sure are hard to teach," she said, smiling, after he tripped over and bumped hard into her.
"I gotta go," Nataku said and made to leave but Yuki pulled him back.
"No, no, wait," Yuki said. She grabbed one of his hand and started dancing. Nataku tried to follow. He did it! Until...
He bumped right into a couple.
"Hey!" the girl cried out.
"Watch it, man!" the blond boy said angrily, pushing Nataku roughly.
"Gomen," Nataku muttered.
"Knock it off, jerk!" Yuki said, sticking her tounge out at the blond boy.
"What did you say, you..." the blond boy was cut short. His dance partner shook her head at him. He gave Nataku a last rueful look and reluctantly continue dancing with his girlfriend.
Yuki smiled at Nataku. They continued dancing and soon Nataku got the hang of it. Well, mostly because he kept on glancing at other dancers, but at least he managed to avoid bumping into more dancers.
Fireworks flew up and banged. The dancers stopped dancing and stood side by side, their faces occasionally lighted up when the fireworks banged. Nataku felt uncomfortable at the sight of the blond boy kissing his girlfriend.
Yuki beamed at Nataku. Nataku smiled back. Yuki suddenly seemed to caught sight of someone over his shoulders.
"Okay, I gotta go now!" Yuki said. She winked. "Nice dancing with you!"
She pecked him on the cheeks and left to join somebody else. Nataku went red. He turned and stared after Yuki walking away.
Not far, Li Tou Ten stood watching his son. He sipped some wine and smiled.
AN: Phew! I'm rather satisfied with this one. Though I gotta admit my friend Kanzeon Bosatsu did most of it. To tell you the truth, I don't really know how to write this chapter so she offered to help me write it if I help her to advertise her stories to you readers. But hey- I do all the story thinking ya know! I added a few things in it to make more interesting, hope it's satisfying enough for you. Anyway, please review. And to all Nataku fans, don't get me wrong. Yuki and Nataku is not in love with each other, ok.
