It was the night of the Grand Ball. The entire Palace was full with lights, music, and royalty. The Ishida was one of the first to arrive. Yamato was searching all over to see if he could spot his friend.
"Damn it! The Kamiya's are always late!" he cursed under his breath. He then spotted something else he had been looking for. He walked up to the girl who was a glass of champagne while talking to two other boys. She laughed at one of the boys and then noticed the prince walking her way.
"Good evening, Prince Yamato," she turned around and greeted the boy. Yamato knelled down and kiss her hand.
"It is a grand evening, Princess Mimi." Yamato got back up to his feet. "Mimi, may I ask you to do a favor?"
"Sure, excuse me gentlemen." Yamato offer his arm and Mimi took it as they walked around arm and arm. "So, what is it you wanted me to do for you?"
"Well, you probably heard that they're trying to get Taichi married."
"Yes I heard, but I didn't believe it to be true."
"Yes, it is. Now my favor is that I want you to help me save him from what could be his future wife." He then gave her a wink which made Mimi grin evilly.
The Takenouchi's were the next to arrive. King Takenouchi was the first one to step out of their carriage, helping his wife step out.
"Good, I thought we were going to be late." She said as she got out of the carriage.
"Mother, it was Tasia and Sora's fault that we couldn't get here early enough." Melandra commented when she came out next.
"Mela put a cork in it!" Sora yelled at her sister. The girls were having a hard time deciding on what to wear. Mela and their mother wanted them to all match but Sora and Tasia complained while Sustain remand neutral.
"Girls, please try to fight. If you can't be nice to each other when you're near each other then don't be near one another. Plus, Mela you should be busy." Her mother order Sora and Mela.
"Yes, Mother." They both replied. King Takenouchi escorted the Queen as they walked into the Palace together. Melandra followed along with Tasia and Burlan. Sora remained outside with a disgusted face as she heard all the commotion inside. Sora turned to her sister with her tongue sticking out.
"Do I really have to go in there? I hate coward places!"
"This time you do. This ball means a lot to mother. We'll just stay together and stand around during most of the night." Sora nodded as the two entered.
"That's her." Yamato pointed as Melandra enter the room, still following her parents.
"Yuck, poor Taichi. They picked the ugliest one." Yamato laughed at Mimi.
Mela stayed by her mother side. Luckily, the Kamiya's hadn't arrived yet. But she cursed herself when she thought that, because that's when the family entered.
King and Queen Kamiya headed over to the Takenouchi's with their two children behind them.
"Good evening, old friend!" as King Kamiya greeted the other king. Taichi greeted Melandra, like he was order to do earlier. "I only count three. Where are the other two rugrats?"
"They're around. But I fear Sora might try to run away. She hates social gatherings." Her mother said.
"My Sora wouldn't run away. She said she stay here. But what I'm afraid of happening is her killing herself here." the King laughed. The four parents started to talk. Kari then introduced herself to Burlan and Tasia and asked if they wanted to go look around. The two agreed as the three took off into the crowd.
"Father, I am going to go look around for Yamato."
"But take Princess Melandra with you." Taichi winched as he told Melandra to follow him. They walked around for a while but there were no sign of the boy. Taichi stopped to lean against a pillar and sighed.
"I saw his parents, but where is he!" Melandra stood by him quietly. "So, how have you been?" Taichi tried his best not to act like a jerk, but it was hard.
"Fine," she nodded. The two pretty much stood there for a while.
'This is crazy! I'm not spending the rest of my life with someone that I can't talk to well!' Mela thought. Then Yamato came up behind Taichi and grabbed his shoulder.
"There you are!"
"Hey! I've been looking all over this damn place for you!" Taichi turned to Yamato and had his back to the princess.
"I've been here. Hey, Princess Mimi needs to have a word with you for moment." He gave an obvious wink for the girl to see.
"What the hell? Why does she want me for?" Taichi was confused with the odd behavior Yamato had.
"She does not want you, she needs you. Go on. I'll stay here with her." He pushed Taichi towards Mimi who was waiting nearby. Taichi walked over and started to talk to the other girl. Yamato let out a sigh.
"It's sad."
"What is?" Mela had her eyes on Taichi while listening to Yamato.
"Those two were once so deeply in love. It was hard to separate them. Well, until his father order them not to be together anymore." Mela eyes were full of hurt as she watched Mimi jump into Taichi's arms as he held her tightly. Then anger filled her.
"Well, they don't need to worry. They can have each other!" She then went over to cry to her mother.
'How can I marry someone who's in love with another girl?'
Yamato laughed as he watched the girl storm off. He then went over to his friends.
"Mission's accomplish!" He gave then the thumbs up.
"Really?" Taichi filled with hope. "Thanks, but if you excuse me, I'm going to go hide before my father strangles me." He walked off.
Sustain and Sora was standing around just like they said they were going to do. Well, until a gentleman asked Sustain to dance. She hesitated on leaving her sister alone but Sora ordered her to go and have some fun. Once alone she noticed a couple a guys just drooling over her. She gave a disgusted sigh as she saw them walk over to her.
"Hello, missy, do you care to dance." These guys were perverts for sure.
"Sorry I can't."
"And why not?"
"Just because I can't!"
"You know it's rude to refuse a dance."
"It's also rude to harass a girl." Taichi walked by as he spotted the Fourk's brothers bothering another girl, like they always do. He walked up to the group.
"Funny, missy, now why can't you dance with us?" Sora opened her mouth to say something but she was interrupted.
"She cannot dance with you because she already promised she would dance with me." Sora suddenly felt all tingly when she saw the boy reach out his hand. "Miss, are you going to keep you promise?" Sora nodded as she accepted his hand. Taichi then lead her to the dance floor. They wrapped each other in each others arms then began to dance with the others.
"Thanks." Sora's voice cracked. Sora didn't was losing it. She never had this feeling before. What could it be?
"Your welcome, those guys are jerks. They always harass the pretty girls. But I'm surprised that they went after you." Sora's face got all mad as she starred up at the boy.
"What are you trying to say?" Taichi laughed at her angry face.
"They normally don't go for the beautiful ones." Sora face turned red as she buried it in his chest.
'Taichi, what are you doing? You don't act like this. Not with a girl you don't know. But there's just something about this girl'
"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!!! King Kamiya was full of anger when Melandra told them all what happen. "MY SON IS TO PIG HEADED! DOES HE NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEAN FOR THE KINGDOM'S FUTURE?"
"Calm down, friend." King Takenouchi was more tranquil then the other one. Queen Kamiya was not paying attention to her husband. He always acted like this to Taichi to make sure he was a strong leader. She found amusement watching the dancers on the floor. That's when she spotted her son dancing with a girl she never saw before.
"Look, dear, there's Taichi. He's there dancing with some strange girl."
"What? Taichi never dances!" He turned around and spotted his son as well. "Well, I'll be." King Takenouchi took his turn to look and spotted his daughter with the boy. He laughs.
"I thought I died before I saw my daughter dancing at a ball."
"Your daughter?" Queen Kamiya was confused to what the men where saying.
"Looks like my friend, we chose the wrong daughter to arrange a marriage with my son." Kamiya laughed.
When the song stopped playing, Taichi held Sora's hand and lead her to one of the empty balconies.
"I don't want to leave you alone. That's a perfect time for them to strike again." Sora nodded as she starred up to the sky covered with stars.
"Thank you." Sora then started to shiver since there was a cool breeze. Taichi noticed this and wrapped his arms around her, giving her heat. He felt the girl's body tense up but then soon relax. Sora whispered another thank you to him. Taichi just nodded as he breathed in her heavenly smell. It was making he's body feel all crazy. 'What is this girl doing to me?' Sora turned to Taichi as she starred into his chocolate brown eyes. She felt like she was going to faint. Taichi smiled at the girl as he looked back. They then felt force pulling them self to one another. While their lips met, Taichi ran his hands up and down her back while Sora had her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her. They kiss deeply and with compassion
for awhile until they had to separate for air. Both were grasping for air afterwards. Taichi laughed as he still held the girl.
"It's funny, how you can do this to me and I don't even know your name." Sora let out a weak laugh.
"I know what you mean."
"Ok, then," Taichi let go of her as he did a bow in front of her, "I am Prince Taichi Kamiya." Sora's eyes widen. 'Oh no! Some sister I am! I just kissed my sister's future husband.' Taichi eyes grew with worried as Sora started to turn pale.
"What is the matter?"
"Everything…" Sora barely got out of her mouth. Sora was in major shock.
"What do you mean?"
"Because I am the third daughter of King Takenouchi. I am Princess Sora Takenouchi."
Ok what do you think? I hope I did a good one on this one. Did I? Help me out here and review for me! Lol!
