Masquerade
-I'm back! Uhh, finally! I know I haven't updated in three months…(And it's way past Halloween…but let's just go with it.) Blame my giant writer's block. (And my demonic Internet provider…my Internet got shut off so I couldn't update for so long!) Can anybody lend me a hammer? (Or a marshmallow gattling gun? ) Oh, and I plan on concentrating one story at a time now, so I can actually finish this one, then I'll move on to another story, ect.
-Are any of you guys also on ? If so, I have an anime and writing guild that I started, called F a l l i n g S t a r s, so please stop by and join- I'm SapphireIceRubyFire.

Well, I thought I did pretty well with the grammar…any who, thanks for reading my fics!
-White Spirit Angel-
You will just have to wait and see! You see, I update at least 3 days after a post, so I can get all the reviews you guys send. But most of you guys I guess don't know when I update, so I suggest you guys put me on your author notification list, so you know when I update.
-TNTiggris-
I don't think when I posted my Fanart link, it showed right, and so I'll put it here again: Fanart , and look for Kitsune Crystal. and yeah, you should do that…
-Natasha-Li-
This isn't soon, but it's an update…
-UlTiMaTe KaI LuVa-
When I finish this, there may be a sequel…
-darkness-fire-tiger-
I don't really have a lot of time lately, but now, with the chance of snow days, who knows? But the demonic new superintendent said, and I quote, "I will never cancel school unless it is extremely necessary." So, yeah, he sucks, the pompous bastard.
-hyperness-
I didn't mean to make Rei naive, so how does he act that way? And if you think those costumes sound good, wait for Kai and Rei's…they are going to be really cool…or at least I hope you guys think they are.
-Forfirith-on-a-sugar-high-
Like I said to hyperness, Kai and Rei's costumes are gonna be really cool, (or at least I think so.) and they go together...
-Shiroi-Tenshi-Tsubasa-
You're leaving ? Why? I hope you'll at least continue reviewing me…and it's sad about ESOUD…but I guess he loaded to many marshmallows in the gun…shakes head sadly Stupid Styrofoam…I hardly knew ye…
-ChibiNekoSakura-
Bwahaha…I'm sooo evil, aren't I, keeping everybody in suspense?

Tala and Wolborg walked around the store. He, Wolborg, Bryan, and
Falborg had split up, with Bryan and Falborg looking for Rei, while they
were looking for Kai. It was all part of the plan…stage 1: get them to get
costumes that go together.
"Where IS that guy? I think we walked around the whole mall 3
times!" Wolborg had changed back into his wolf shape, with which, he said,
he supposedly had better stamina. "My paws are getting sore…" The key
word there being supposedly.
"My ears are sore with all your whining. You're a wolf, which are
supposed to be great hunters. Sniff him out." Tala said, with a sarcastic roll
of his eyes.
Wolborg looked at him with a look of mock canine horror. "Me? A
great wolf spirit reduced to a sniffing dog?" he gasped. "The horror! The
hooorrrrooorr!"
Tala cuffed Wolborg between the ears. "Shut up and sniff." With a
dog-like snort, Wolborg started sniffing.

"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes!"
"No!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"Stop it Kai! You're acting like a toddler!"
"I'd rather be one than a thousand year old rooster!"
"I'm not a thousand years! I'm only nine hundred and ninety-nine."
Dranzer retorted, with a huff. "And I'm NOT a rooster! Repeat after me:
Dranzer is a PHOENIX! NOT a ROOSTER, a PHOENIX! Now come out,
or I SWEAR I will burn down that door, with or without you near it. And
I'm NOT paying for it! "
"Fine…" Kai said with a huff, opening the door, and stepping out.
"If that was so hard…" Dranzer paused here, taking out the hair comb
and pins that held Kai's hair in the proper place and putting them in his
mouth. "I assume your plan for asking out Rei to the dance will be a cinch,
right?" he said around the pins, fixing Kai's hair and putting the pins back
in place. Kai looked mildly surprised.
"So you were listening to my thoughts."
"Yep."
"Sneaky, Dranzer, real sneaky." Kai said, looking at a hand mirror, then
angling it behind him to look at the full-length mirror to see his hair. It had
been combed back onto a loose ponytail at the nape of his neck, then taking
the 'tail' and doubling it back through the hair, pulling it tight. Dranzer then
used the comb, in the shape of a gold phoenix rising from flames, with eyes
that were carved from a shimmering stone that flickered with all the colors
in a fire, and a onyx beak and talons, to hold the hair in place. The two three
inch long golden pins that crossed on either side of the comb were topped
with flames carved of the same stone of the phoenix's eyes. Two double
toned bangs curved to frame his eyes.
"Thanks for lending me these hair things."
"Just make sure you take extremely good care of these, Kai. You know
I've had these for practically forever."
"Don't worry. I know how important these are to you. Now, does
which jacket looks good?"
"Go for the one with the gold embroidery around the collar, cuffs,
and hems. And get the black pants that match. I'll get your shoes. Are you
sure you can walk in them?"
"Yes, I am, so…oh boy, look who's here…" Kai groaned as Tala and
Wolborg came walking up.
"Hey Kai. Oooh…nice hair. So what are you supposed to be?"
"Not telling."
"Please?"
"No."
"Pleeeeaaassseee?"
"Nooooooo."
"Don't make me sick Wolborg on you! You KNOW how he likes to
slobber over you." Kai paled.
"You WOULDN'T…"
"Yes, I would. Now come on and tell me!" Kai looked at Wolborg,
who was smiling, his tongue lolling out, dripping saliva, and Kai grimaced.
"FINE! But after, you tell me what you're gonna be."
"Deal. Now spill!" Tala listened to Kai, then excused himself after
telling Kai what he's going to be.
"Nice idea. We will SO kick ass at the contest! Okay, I got to go find
a new collar for Wol to wear at the dance. See ya around." After they were
out of ear and eyeshot, he flipped open his cell phone.
"Hey Bryan, I found out Kai's costume...he got it at DarkFire. Help
Rei, them meet me at Naratii's, okay?… I Love you too, bye." Clicking shut
his phone, he smiled. "Perfect…"

"I can't find anything, Drigger! We've been in so many stores
already, but I just can't find the one!"
"Don't worry, Rei. We will find it. Oh look, there's Bryan and
Falborg. Maybe they can help."
"Hey Rei, Drigger. Need help with your costume? I found mine, so
why don't we help you guys?"
"Okay. What do you think I should be? Have any ideas?" Bryan and
Falborg, who was in falcon form on Bryan's shoulder, looked at each other,
then Rei.
"Actually, yeah we do. We saw it in a store called Crystal Stars. It
was not right for me, but it would be so perfect on you! Come on!"
(-)-(-)-(-)
A few minutes later, Rei was dressed in his costume, turning in
front of the dressing room mirror.
"It's perfect! What do you think, Drigger?"
"It really suits you…wait, hold on a sec, lets try this on with this …"
Drigger got up and took a cloak of white faux fur, and attached it on Rei's
shoulders with two small round pins made of clear faceted crystal, then
smoothed it so it fell to the floor and made a small train. "Okay…hold
still.." Drigger unwrapped Rei's hair, giving Rei the binding. "Hold that."
He brushed the ankle length hair, after taking the two long locks
of hair from behind Rei's ears, braiding each, then gathered them and
twisted them together at the back of Rei's head, held in place with a silver
bobby pin, letting the end hang down, weighed by a diamond and onyx clip
carved into a yin yang. "I'll do your hair better before the dance…this is
only the first step."
"Wow, Rei. You are going to turn heads in that get-up. Are you going
to be all set now to get your other stuff by yourself? I need to go meet Tala
and get a collar for Falborg to wear to the dance. See ya around." Bryan and
Falborg walked out of Crystal Stars, heading for Naratii's. He smirked and
flipped open his cell-phone, dialing Tala.
"Stage One Mission Completed. Get ready to start Stage Two…Operation
LOVEBIRDS is about to be set in motion!"
