My Masked Hero - SakuraYang

Chapter 6 - Process of Elimination

"Are you sure that's him?" Tomoyo asked.

"That's your masked hero?" Chiharu asked anxiously when she heard Sakura whispering. That caught the attention of the other girls also.

Sakura blinked her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Am I dreaming? No.. This is real. That is really him. "Yes, I'm sure."

He didn't talk at all when he was supposed to. He just whispered to his servants and they spoke for him. The workers and servants had everyone circle up around the dance hall. There were too many girls for the outside circle, so another group of girls formed another circle in the center of the room. The outer circle and the inner circle faced each other. They were spaced at least five feet apart.

Sakura was standing on the outside circle. Tomoyo stood next to her. All the girls stood patiently as he walked around and passed each of them. Whoever was standing across from each other had to switch places when they were told to. Behind each of them stood a guy who was masked to tell the girls if they were to switch or stay.

The masked boy walked down the stairs and between the girls. His face showed neutral feelings. No one could tell if he was happy, sad, or angry. He would signal the guys to tell them if he wanted them switched. Most of the girls he went pass had to switch. When he walked to Sakura, he slowed down and smile at her. He raised his speed when he passed her.

From behind Sakura, his masked companion pushed Sakura urging her to switch. She saw that Tomoyo and Chiharu were also switched. Naoko and Rika stayed on the outside circle.

They stood in that position until the son walked back up the stairs. His bodyguard announced, "Those of you on the outside circle please step outside."

"Good Luck, S." Naoko and Rika whispered to Sakura as they left the room. They knew Sakura was going to stay in the game. As the girls left, following them was the same amount of guys who were masked.

Sakura looked at her Masked Hero and noticed he didn't look too happy. He looked bored in a way that can't be explained.

"I'm sorry for the news but I need one more person to be removed from this next round." The bodyguard announced. No one volunteered. "If no one is going, I will personally select one to leave like it or not." He said forcefully.

Chiharu stepped up. "I will be glad to leave."

Sakura and Tomoyo looked at her. "C.."

"It's okay S, T. Good luck, S." Chiharu said to Sakura and followed the rest of the girls who didn't qualify. Following her was another masked attendant.

"For this next round..."

The Other Room

Chiharu followed the failing girls into another room. It was a lot smaller than the one before. It was dark. There were barely any lights. As she entered, she heard the loud booming of the music shaking the floor and entering in her ears. She walked over to the refreshment table and saw Naoko and Rika.

"Hey, Chiharu! You got kicked out too?" Naoko asked.

"No, I volunteered to come here. I didn't want to leave you two alone, and besides I know that you both will be missing a lot of fun without me. Isn't that right?"

"You're good."

"Excuse me my lady, can I have this dance?" A guy approached Naoko. Soon two other guys approached Chiharu and Rika.

"Sure." They all accepted the offer.

Soon, the door opened again and more of the girls entered partying.

The Dance Hall

"Now that we have limited it down to twenty, we shall see which one should be the lucky winner. Music?" The bodyguard commanded.

The music slowly came on as the dance floor was opened for dancing with the masked son. He slowly stepped up to each girl and took out his hand asking for a dance. Sakura and Tomoyo waited patiently as he danced his way around. Sakura was getting nervous. One part of her wanted to meet him badly, but the other didn't want to meet him. "Tomo, I'm scared."

"Don't worry, S. You'll be fine." He came up to Tomoyo and grabbed her hand twirling her around.

I hope you're right. Sakura wondered.

He came back around and stopped on front of Sakura. He bowed and held out his hand. Sakura bowed in return and took his hand. She was shaking for the first few moments. Her heart was pumping a lot of blood to get her moving. She felt joy, yet also hate. She didn't know if she was supposed to be happy or not. She looked at him in the eyes wanting to know who he really was. His mask really covered his eyes. She thought, Maybe if I just saw his eyes, I just might know who he is. He looked away noticing her eyes focusing on his. He finally let her go and moved on with another girl.

"Hey, T. Did you see his eyes?" Sakura asked. "What color were they?"

"I saw brownish-colored eyes. Why?"

"I'm not so sure. To my surprise, I'm still shaking and I... I don't know... It seems like I know him."

"You only see him in your dreams."

Sakura gasped. "This reminded me I didn't have a dream of him on Thursday morning. Which is a problem because you said every Tuesday and Thursday morning right?"

"Yes, I'm positive. Maybe you're getting over him."

"SSHHHhhh!!" The attendants told them to quiet down.

"Master," His bodyguard whispered to him as he left the girls, "what do you want to do now?"

He just smiled and nodded. His bodyguard nodded in return.

"Our Master has decided on his bride. After a long time of eliminating, he will now decide his bride." He moved out of the way and bowed.

He walked pass each of the ladies and looked at them each in the eye. The ladies were then told to turn around. He walked around again making the girls more nervous.

(A/N: I guess this really wasn't all that irony... :- ... but then this was what I can do for now.. I'm sure you all knew what was going to happen... :D... review please...)
