-Chapter 5
-Secret Affairs at Invidia Masque
A/N- NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! IT ISN'T SO! –Sigh- I'm sorry to say that school is starting over here in Florida…DAMN IT ALL! School for me starts TOMORROW, meaning, don't expect me to update as much as I normally do. SORRY
-THANKS FOR VOTING/REVIEWING EVERYONE! THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN THE CHAPPIE!-
Full-Frontal-Otaku – Lol, yeah you gave me really good ideas. Hmmm….yeah I can imagine it being awkward. Luckily I'm used to it since all of my friends are always going out with people I know, so for me it's never really awkward at all.
darkriku01 – YAY! Another RJA fan! 'Face Down' is my favorite song from them. Thanks for reviewing.
AbnormallyWeirdPerson – Hmm…I'm not so sure about that. Is Invidia Masque Latin? Well, I kinda just tend to think up of random stuff and this is what hit me at the moment. I think Invidia is Latin for "envy" and I guess Masque would be Latin for "Mask" although I'm not really sure about the second one.
Tysonkaiexperiment –LMAO!
Kaiamara – Thanks again for the awesome Fanart!
Oro-sama – In this story, Riku is the dominant one, not Sora. It may seem like it, but I personally think it's weird whenever Sora is the seme so it won't be happening in this story. I already explained why Sora ran away in a previous chapter; you are welcome to look it up if you wish.

"See I told you it would work!"
A silver haired French maid glared at his Master's reflection, a deep blush marking his pale face.
It was finally the night of their 'date' as Sora called it, and they were both dressed up and ready to go.
Well…not that the genie really had a choice.
It turns out Invidia Masque was a 'costume' club, meaning everyone dressed in costume and in masks.
The brunette boy smiled innocently back at the genie, who rolled his eyes in return.
Sora was dressed up as the infamous Count Dracula, his long black cape and expensive looking ensemble went perfectly with the whole 'rich vampire' look.
"Turn for me," Sora spoke to his genie, who obediently turned for him to inspect his costume.
Riku's outfit was quite feminine, with lace trim and ruffles, black leggings and shiny black high heels, hell, all he was missing was a feather duster!
Sora nodded, as Riku turned to face him once more with an emotionless face.
"Yeah, it fits you pretty good…oh, wait hang on!"
The maid raised an eyebrow as he watched Sora dig into his pants pocket, only to pull out a piece of black fabric.
He held out the fabric in his hand, "Here, put it on."
Riku took it, and held it up, only to see a diamond on the fabric.
It was a black choker with a diamond in the middle for decoration.
The silver haired boy frowned, as he placed on it his neck, carefully watched by a curious vampire.
The brunette nodded, "Good…," he trailed off as he walked over to the bed, and held up two masks.
Both masks covered only the top part of a person's face, one was black with white feathers and silver glitter designs, while the other was black with red glitter designs.
Sighing, Riku walked over and took the silver mask, putting it on before Sora could order him to do so.
"Hey! Who told you that was your mask?"
The masked maid raised an unseen eyebrow, "Well isn't it mine?"
The brunette pouted, "Well, yeah…," he trailed off, not knowing what to say
"Exactly," the genie stated rather triumphantly, a smirk on his face.
The pair walked over to the wall mirror in Sora's room, analyzing their appearance.
The silver haired boy lowered his head in shame as he realized how truly girly he looked, his pale pink lips turned downwards in a pout/frown.
The brunette smiled at this, looking back into the mirror and inspecting himself once more.
Oddly enough, they made a good couple.
The genie turned his head to check the clock, his eyes widening at once.
"Hey Master, when are we going to the club thing?"
The brunette boy was currently busying himself making scary faces in the mirror, and so replied without even glancing at his genie.
"We leave here at 7:30, and we should be there by 8:05…why do you ask?"
The maid/genie/slave sounded calm as he spoke, "Because my oh so naïve Master… it's already 7:40."
Sora did not register this however, as he continued to make stupid faces in his mirror, he turned to Riku and opened his mouth about to speak…only to slowly close it as the news hit him.

"WHAT!"
The brunette panicked as he checked the clock, his bright blue eyes and a squeak escaping his lips.
"Kairi's gonna kill me! Damit! We have to get to the limo NOW!
Without thinking, Sora grabbed Riku's hand and ran out of his bedroom, slamming his door open as they ran out into the hall.
XoXo
"Cloudykins, you really should think about wearing those sunglasses I gave you…"
Cloud raised an eyebrow at his sister, who at this moment was playing around with a saltshaker.
Rikku looked up at her brother, "What?"
The elder blonde shook his head softly and smiled fondly at his younger sister, "Nothing, I'll keep that in mind kay?"
Rikku nodded enthusiastically, her smile slipping as the pair heard loud sounds coming from the hallway.
The siblings looked alert at once, stepping out of their chairs; they walked over to the entrance.
Rikku looked down the hall, only to find a sprinting vampire that looked quite familiar to her brother and an unknown sluttish looking French maid hurtling straight at them!
"What the hell…," Cloud whispered at the strange sight, his hand on Rikku's shoulder.
The vampire and maid however, simply maneuvered their way around them and continued running until they reached the doors and slammed it shut, causing the blonde siblings to wince at the sound.
"What the hell…"
"Was that…," Cloud finished Rikku's sentence, sounding rather dazed.
The pair looked at each other, then back at the door.
Cloud put on a stern face, "This never happened," he stated in a strong voice.
Rikku nodded hurriedly, "Ditto," she replied.
XoXo
"NO."
"Yes."
"NO."
"Yes."
"NO."
"YES DAMIT!"
Riku gave the petite brunette beside him his best death glare, causing the younger one to recoil back slightly.
Sora pouted, his shoulders sagging, "Why not?"
The genie crossed his arms looking extremely perturbed, "I am not gonna carry around a feather duster just for your sick amusement!"
The brunette sighed, "Alright fine…no feather duster."
The maid smiled triumphantly as Sora put away the grey feather duster away in one of the limo's compartments.
After some freaking out on Sora's part, they finally made it to the limo.
It was already 8pm; luckily the driver would be able to get them there by 8:10, which wasn't that bad.
Not that Riku cared of course, all that running had made his feet hurt.
How on earth do girls run in high heels anyways?
The silver haired genie sighed as he stared out the window; they were already in the downtown area.
The brunette cast his eyes downward as he found himself staring at Riku yet again.
He really did look like a girl with that dress on.
The younger one glanced back at his clock and sighed.
It was 8:05.

"Axel! Hold still damit!"
A tall black cloaked figure chuckled at the smaller red head, who was attempting to position him for a photo in front of the club.
Invidia Masque was like a haunted house, the whole décor attracted teenagers from all over the town.
The outside looked it was made of stone, with a couple of stone steps before you reached the double oak doors.
There were no windows, nothing but a flickering green neon sign that stuck out around the middle of the building for all who walked this way to see.
There was an attendee at the door, a handsome man with a top hat and tux. A cane at his side as he welcomed the people inside, a suave smile never leaving his face, girls often came here just to see him of course.
A woman appeared at the entrance sometimes too, her face hidden by a black lace veil with designs making her look like a woman of wealth.
She wore a long elegant black dress, with long black gloves covering up whatever her dress didn't, her shiny copper hair tied up in a French twist.
Sometimes she lifted her veil ever so slightly, granting visitors a glimpse of a red lipsticked smirk.
Tidus, who had seen the mysterious woman a couple of times, swore she was never around inside the club.
But that doesn't make sense now does it?
A witch happily giggled alongside a werewolf, who was holding up a camera, waiting to take a picture of an annoyed princess and sheepish looking grim reaper.
"Ok now!"
Tidus grinned, "Alright say 'Banana!'"
"Banana!"
-FLASH-
The werewolf also known as Tidus, checked his camera and grinned at the couple, "Yeah it's done!"
Selphie smirked, "Wow, you guys make a weird couple with those costumes."
The two red heads chuckled, "Yeah like a witch and a werewolf are a perfect match either," Kairi retorted playfully at her best friend.
"I beg to differ," Tidus said, raising a finger and making Selphie latch onto his arm.
The group laughed, causing several passers by to stare.
I mean, who would expect to see a princess, a grim reaper, and a witch arm in arm with a werewolf while walking downtown at night?
Suddenly a limo pulled up, causing Selphie and Tidus to walk onto the steps.
"Hey Sora's here!" Selphie yelled gleefully making Tidus grin in awe of his girlfriend's cuteness.
Kairi grinned as well, while Axel simply looked confused, "Hey is this Sora kid rich or something?"
Kairi turned to find her date eyeing the limo with interest, she nodded, "Yup! He's one of the richest boys in the city!"
Axel grinned, Oh yeah, I get to meet a rich dude!
The chauffeur smiled at them, and went around to open the limo door for the passengers inside.
The group waiting in anticipation as a cinnamon haired vampire stepped out of the car.
He grinned at his friends, then quickly turned back to offer a hand to the remaining passenger in the limo.
Suddenly a hand reached out for the vampire's and a slim black lace covered leg with shiny black high heels appeared.
A head of long silver hair covered up the eyes of the passenger.
Then the group gasped.
A woman with long silver hair and in a French maid outfit, complete with diamond choker and all…was Sora's date?
O.O
The limo door closed and shortly after the cinnamon haired girl drove away, not turning back to see the shocked expressions of the four standing by the club.
Sora's hand was still holding Riku's as he looked up to grin at this friends, "Hey guys."
Selphie jumped up in happiness, "Hiya Sora! Your date looks awesome!"
The hyperactive witch pranced over to Riku, who had a puzzled look on his face, she grinned.
"Hiya there! I'm Selphie! What's your name?"
Selphie put her face close to his as if studying an interesting specimen, Riku frowned slightly but didn't back away, "Riku," he said glancing at Sora who gave him a nod.
Selphie began bouncing in front of the bewildered teen, "Yay! I like your name!"
"Ok calm down Selph, I think you're scaring her," Tidus said as he walked over to his girlfriend and put a hand on her shoulder.
The werewolf grinned at him, "I'm Tidus, Sora's friend and Bouncy here's boyfriend."
Riku looked both of them up and down, deciding he liked them.
Selphie had a pout on her face, one that reminded him of Sora. She had big green eyes and shoulder length brunette hair. Her outfit was one of a traditional witch, with a long black dress, shiny pointy shoes, and a tall black witch hat.
Her mask was covered with feathers that shined a greenish black color, making her eyes stand out.
Tidus on the other hand, wore no mask. He didn't need it really; his costume was that of a werewolf.
His body was covered with fur, even though it was just a costume, it looked like there really was hair all over his body. He wore ripped up jean pants, a white shirt with blood stains on it, and shoes, luckily no furry toes stuck out of them.
His eyes were calm and friendly, and his hair blonde and healthy. He had kind smile, this Selphie was a lucky girl to get a boyfriend like him.
"Hey! Don't forget about us you guys!"
The four turned to find Kairi with her arms crossed and Axel playing around with his scythe.
Selphie placed a sheepish grin on her face, "Sorry Kai!"
The four walked over to Axel and Kairi, Axel looking up once they got close enough.
"Hey Kairi!" Sora said rather enthusiastically to the red head.
Kairi smiled at him, "Hi Sora, this is Axel."
Axel gave him a grin, "Hey kid, nice ride you had there."
The brunette nodded with a polite smile, "Thanks."
"This is Sora's date, Riku!" Selphie piped up as the two red heads turned to look at the silver haired maid.
Riku turned to study them as well, frowning at the girl almost instantly.
This Kairi chick was dressed up as a princess of all things!
What a bimbo…
Her dress was pink and full of ruffles, with a silver crown on her head. Kairi had big blue eyes, a lighter color then Sora's, shoulder length red hair and a pale face. She was pretty; there was no doubting that but, to Riku, her smile seemed fake.
And boy did it look fake!
Kairi smiled at Riku, "Hi Riku, nice to meet you."
Fake…
Riku blinked, "Same here," he grunted, getting stares from the group.
He coughed, making his voice higher, "Sorry about that!"
The maid gave them his fakest smile, which they seemed to buy. Axel looked Riku up and down.
"Sora! Nice date you got here!"
The genie glared at the red head, who was busying eyeing his legs.
Sora took this into account, and frowned as well, "Yes I know," he stated putting his arm around Riku's arm protectively, getting him a weird stare from Riku.
Axel got the hint and backed off instantly, "Sorry man," he said, grinning sheepishly while Kairi glared at him heatedly.
"Come on, let's get inside!" Tidus exclaimed, hoping for a change of subject.
The group silently agreed as they walked up the steps with their dates by their sides. The door man appeared as soon as they got close to the entrance.
His smile as handsome as ever, he spoke to them, "Welcome to Invidia Masque, please enjoy your stay."
Flashing a grin towards the direction of a certain French maid, who grimaced slightly, the man tapped his cane on the door, allowing it to creak open slowly.
The man bowed his hat, shading his eyes as a small smile graced his face.
Kairi peeked inside the club only to be greeted by an unwelcoming darkness; she huddled closer to her date.
Axel grinned in glee at the spookiness, walking in eagerly beside a not-so-eager princess.
Tidus and Selphie were up next, both looked excited. Tidus had been here several times before with his friend Wakka, none of the others had come before however, making him less excited then the rest of the group.
Selphie bounced in happily, letting go of her boyfriend's arms as he walked behind her, both studying the darkness like children in a candy store.
Sora and Riku were the last ones to go inside, one looking rather bored.
They entered with their arms latched together, hearing the door slowly shut with a creak as they were swallowed in darkness.
Walking up a bit more, they began to notice the hall become illuminated with a glowing green light.
The floor was made of wood, and made loud thudding sounds when they moved; the walls were covered with red wallpaper and portraits of people hung on the wall.
The people frowned at them disapprovingly; some of their eyes seemed to follow them until they were out of sight.
Sora shivered at the thought, getting closer to the silver haired genie as they walked.
Riku raised an unseen eyebrow, glancing at the small brunette vampire beside him; a small smile appeared on his face.
He held his master protectively as they past more strange paintings, finally coming to a simple wooden door at the end of the hall.
Sora blushed once realizing the proximity between him and the genie, backing off at once.
Riku ignore this as he reached out and grasped the cool door handle in his hands.
The door opened, and music began pounding through their ears.
Sound proof, go figure?
The pair immediately put their hands to their ears as they walked in into the loud room.
They looked around; people crowded the large three floor room. In the middle of the room, there was a bar…A THREE STORY BAR!
HALELUJAH!
The bar was round, and held by pillars at the very center of the room. If you looked up, you could see the walk ways that connected the bar to the rest of the floors.
There were rails placed on the walkways just in case some idiot walked off by accident.
In middle of the ceiling, there was a glass opening where a large white moon shined, letting sunlight enter the room. It was quite an amazing sight, or at least Riku thought so.
"Sora! Riku!"
The pair turned to find the rest of the group nowhere in sight, puzzled expressions covered their faces.
A giggle was heard, "Up here!"
They looked up to find Selphie standing over the door, Tidus by her side.
Apparently the door wasn't completely on the wall….the wall kinda came out to meet with the door.
Sora and Riku were speechless; the door was technically under the stairs!
Tidus chuckled at their faces, "Come on, Kai's saving us a seat, she went ahead with Axel."
Selphie gave them an evil grin, "She was sooo scared when she was walking down the hall…MUAHAHA!"
Tidus backed away slowly from his girlfriend as Riku and Sora began coming up the stairs, immediately regretting it.
Selphie gave them a sweet smile once she was done with her evil laugh and bounced off to find Kairi and Axel.
Tidus gave them a sheepish grin as he rubbed the back of his head, "She kinda surprised Kairi when we were walking in here…,"he trailed off looking somewhat embarrassed.
Riku smirked while Sora chuckled at the blonde boy, who was now staring at the ground.
Tidus raised his head, "Let's go, they're probably wondering where we are."
The three walked up the rest of the stairs, walking past people who were either making out or deep in conversation.
Sora felt somewhat uncomfortable as he glanced at the ones heatedly making out, their eyes closed in concentration.
He stole a glimpse of Riku, who didn't seem to be the least bothered by these public displays of affection, making feel rather childish without even trying.
Finally they came upon, a large area with tables and chairs, one of them occupied with their friends.
Selphie waved at them eagerly, "Guys over here!"
Grinning, Tidus walked them over to the table where Kairi and Axel were discussing hair products.
Riku took a seat beside Axel, Sora took a seat beside him, and Tidus sat next to Selphie.
The table was round and black, with white chairs to sit on.
Riku smoothed out the ruffles on his skirt, whilst Selphie decided to lash out a question on Sora.
"Soooo how long have you two been dating?"
The conversation between Kairi and Axel stopped; they turned with interest on their faces as Sora stared back blankly.
"Ummm…,"he turned to Riku, who looked up from his skirt to meet his gaze.
The silver haired boy turned towards Selphie, "Will you excuse us, I'd like to get some punch and Sora is accompanying me…right sweetie?"
Sora blinked, "Right."
The maid flashed him a lustful grin, as Sora stood up from his chair. He held out his hand to Riku and helped him stand from his chair, leading him away from their friends.
Everyone except Selphie and Axel had their jaws open.
Kairi was in complete disbelief; she turned to Axel and frowned at the bored looking boy.
"Why can't you help me from my chair?"
Axel lifted an eyebrow; he wore no mask but instead had black designs on his face.
"What? You can't get out of a chair on your own or something?"
Kairi glared at him, "Well, Riku can, yet Sora's still willing to lift a hand to help her."
Axel frowned, "Well I ain't Sora!"
Kairi's face was growing red from anger while Axel was starting to look annoyed.
Selphie and Tidus however, were watching this with high interest.
The witch turned to her boyfriend, "Sora and Riku really look good together don't they?"
Tidus turned to face her and nodded, "Yeah, good thing too," he lowered his voice to say the next few words, "Poor guy's liked Kairi for too long, he deserves someone to like him back."
Selphie nodded, her face serious as she turned back to the bickering couple.
Sora's needed someone for a long time now…
XoXo
"My heels hurt my feet!"
Sora stopped walking as turned to face Riku, who was staring at him indignantly.
The brunette frowned, "Suck it up you big baby!"
They were considerably far from the rest of the group but, not too far away that they'd get lost.
Riku's eyes flared in anger, he crossed his arms and smirked, "Oh yeah? Is that anyway to talk to your date?"
-Silence-
Sora remained speechless, his eyes widening at what his genie had just said.
His date?
Well…they weren't really dating…but when Riku said it…it sounded so real…
The brunette blinked, gazing at his triumphant looking genie.
"Now get me some fruit punch…darling."
Riku smiled sweetly as he said this, making the brunette cringe at the word 'darling.'
The vampire pouted, "Alright…I'll get you your damn punch. Go back to Kairi and the others; don't answer anything they ask about us, got it?"
"Got it," Riku replied in a serious tone, even he knew when it was time to be serious.
The two parted ways, each wondering the same things unknowingly int the back of their heads.
Why does this seem…so real?
