Glitt & glam: Thank you for your review. I'm glad you like the people. It took me a long time to see where I was going to go with this. I think I love the fairy godfathers the most! LOL.
Fruit is NOT a Dessert: Thank you for reviewing and I will try to update more.
Part Four—Having a Ball
"Oh, it's so big!" Sapphire whispered.
"Don't worry. It'll be okay." Amia reassured her.
The girls then walk down the great hall and into the ball room where everyone's names were being said out loud to the on lookers and the princes were bowing to every lady that came up when her name was called.
While in between bows…
"We should have never come back, Hiei. We should have known father would do this to us." Kurama said to his brother. Bows
When done bowing… "I agree, but believe me we'll get him back, one of these days." bows
Then the boys look up to their father who is looking very irritated.
To the King…
"Why are they just standing there and bowing? They aren't even taking an interest in any of them!"
"Sir, true love takes time. You can't just hope that in one night that two people will fall in love!" The adviser explained.
"And why not! That's how Keiko and I fell in love!"
"Trust me, if anything is to happen they will talk to some of them while dancing and find someone they would like to get to know and then they may consider marriage."
"Well guess, something is better than nothing." Then the King turned back to watch his sons take on interests in any of the women.
Now let's go back to see what the girls are doing…
"Amia, did we have to sign in or something?"
"I don't think so…Maybe I should look around."
"I'll come with you. I don't want to bump into our step family and have to make-up with a lie by myself." Sapphire whispered.
"Okay, but be quite and don't attract attention to us." Then the girls started to look around.
"Do you see anything?" Amia asked.
"No."
"I thought it was just me."
Back to the princes…
"Do you know who those two girls are?" Hiei asked Kurama.
"I don't know. Why?"
"Because the one in the black dress looks like my type." Kurama rolls eyes
"The one in the blue dress seems kind of familiar. Maybe we know them from town?"
"Want to?" Hiei looked at his brother and they nodded and went over to the girls.
Back to the girls… (Amia first)
"Do you see anything…?" Amia asked.
"See what?"
"What do you mean by that?..." Turns Amia then turned bright red as she sees it's one of the princes.
"Oh nothing…never mind." Amia shuddered. Hiei smiled.
"Would you like to dance?" Hiei started to take her hand and Amia's hand went behind her back quickly.
"I couldn't. You still have to be introduced to the other guest." Amia smiled a nervously.
"That can wait. Dance with me." Hiei insisted and held out his hand.
"You know, I really should find my sister. She gets lost easily and all. It was really nice meeting you, but I have to go."
"I'm sure your sister will be fine for just one dance, besides maybe she's already found a dance partner."
"If you're sure…" Amia said as she put her hand in his. Almost as soon as her hand was in his they started to dance.
Now let's check on Sapphire…
"Excuse me Miss?" Sapphire turned to see who had addressed her. When Sapphire saw who it was she want to shrink into nothing. 'Did I do something that attracted attention to myself? I hope not!' Sapphire thought.
"Ummmm…Hello?" Sapphire said weakly.
"Would you like to dance?"
"I really can't; I have to find my sister…"
"Please I promise it will be a short dance." Kurama persisted.
"That's tempting, but finding my sister is a high priority at the moment." Sapphire laughed nervously.
"How about this if you give me a dance I will help you locate you sister in this huge crowd of people. I am also sure she has found a dance partner, so I think you may have some time to spare."
"Well if it's a short one then I guess I could…" Just then Kurama took Sapphire's hand and swept her to the dance floor. As they dance the music went on and the lights dimmed. Sapphire looked out of the corner of her eye to see Amia dancing with the other prince. Sapphire felt relived to know that her sister wouldn't be mad at her for accepting to dance with the prince.
While the two danced the princes made their way to the door to the garden. As soon as the velvet shade came down the princes stop the dance and lead the girls in different directions.
Hiei took Amia to the left side of the garden.
"So, tell me who I have the pleasure of entertaining tonight." Hiei looked over to Amia who had her attention on the flowers thinking that Sapphire would be having a field day with them. (A/N: Sapphire loves flowers if you haven't figured that out with the dress and the flowers and all that stuff.)
"My name is…Amia" Amia answered hesitantly.
"That's a nice name. I sure you know my name."
"Yes." Amia smiled up at him.
"So, where do you live with your family? Do tell me who raised such a lady." Hiei questioned Amia.
"Well, why do you need to where I live? I mean is that important to find me?"
"Yes, of course! Don't you want me to visit?" Hiei smiled wickedly.
"WHAT? Oh! Umm… sorry I don't get this much attention. It's my first time being alone with anyone outside of my family." (What is this guy a stalker????)
"Oh, come on, do you think I'm going to buy that?" Amia looked at Hiei upset that he didn't believe her.
"Excuse me! But I have never lied and I'm quite proud of it! I think I'll go and find my sister now; Thank you very much!" Amia yelled as she started back to the ball room.
"Wait, I didn't mean to offend you! It's just…how can you not have contact with other people? Do you live in a cult? If you do I can help you."
"A cult? Are you kidding me? Look you can't help me; I can only help myself and my sister that's all! Please just leave me alone!"
"No, I won't! Why are you so upset? I'm only trying to help. My brother and I can help anyone."
"I don't want your help, so please just leave me alone. I can do this on my own." Then Amia walked off.
Sapphire and Kurama…
"You're a very good dancer." Kurama complemented.
"Thank you. But to be truthful I have done better." Sapphire smiled up at him.
"You have a beautiful smile. Did anyone ever tell you that?" Kurama asked her.
"No. If anyone did, I don't remember." Sapphire looked over to the red rose bush trying to hide her blush.
"Well, I'm telling you now. From what I see you are a very kind individual and very beautiful." Kurama then took Sapphire's hand and sat her down on the edge of the white marble fountain then sat down beside her and keeping her hand in his. "Could you tell me more about yourself? Or am I going to have to guess?" He smiled.
"There's not much too tell. I like roses and I'm very good at cleaning, but not so much at cooking that's my sister's area. She's the best cook. I like some music, but I'm sure there's more I haven't heard. What do you like?"
"I like music more in classical area and I love flowers; I know a good amount about them. I know there scientific name and common name. I also like to read any kind of book, doesn't matter, and I like to dance." Kurama smiled down at Sapphire "Do you like the beach?"
"I don't know I've never been to the beach. I'm normally cooped up in my house doing chores and other important house work." Sapphire told him feeling really uncomfortable.
"Well then it sounds like you need a break; we aren't far from the beach you want to walk for a little?" All of the sudden the clock struck one. 'It will take us half an hour to find each other and leave. I have to find Amia.' Sapphire thought.
"Can I give you I.O.U? I have to get home. I'm sorry, but I have to find my sister." Sapphire stood and started in the direction in which she came from.
"I'll help you. Do you know where your sister might be?"
"I already know where she is." Sapphire answered.
"Where?"
"With your brother."
Well what do you think? I really like my story I just wish people would REVIEW! You people that don't review make me want to cry…tear tear. Anyway R&R.
