Shona smiled as her children enjoyed themselves and when the song finished and everyone was laughing and smiling the weight lifted off her chest some, they had friends here and people who could make her children laugh and smile in ways she had missed since... well she couldn't remember when.

"Ok then next Yuki, Kanae your up!" she called out as Yashiro stood and made his way over to the little dance area while although Kanae was already standing she didn't move it wasn't hard to pick up on her indecisiveness as Shona looked at her expectantly but without speaking.

"I... I didn't know whether we would be asked to change clothes again today and my sister in law gave me one of her old dresses." Kanae looked at at Shona then to Yashiro and finally to Kyoko who nodded enthusiastically as Kanae breathed in steadying her nerves before slowly pulling off the long woolen long sleeved dress she had worn over the top. If anyone had recorded... oh wait Lory did he couldn't decide who's reaction was best. Kyoko squeaked surprised but then went completely fan mode over Kanae with Chiori agreeing with her, Koun and Shona both wolf whistled simultaneously which made Kanae blush and huff out a Mo, Aoi decided there and then that she wanted to be exactly like this beautiful woman before her while Masaru's and Yashiro's jaws dropped.

"Well such a beautiful dress, let us allow you to show it off shall we." Shona took Kanae's hand and with her simple movement initiated a twirl from the younger now very embarrassed woman, as she handed her off to Yashiro whose mouth had gone dry. I feel like I've seen that dress before Shona said thoughtfully as she tapped her finger too her chin giving her brother time to compose himself as he took off his suit jacket and tossed it over to Ren who caught it and layed it over the back of his chair.

"Doi... Doi Madoka!" Shona said snapping her fingers together in a decisive way as shocked Kanae nodded "Yes she was such a wonderful dancer, shame about her family though my mother always said it would come to bite them in the ass the way they pushed her." Kanae simply continued nodding as Shona smiled "Remember me too her when you next see her." Kanae again nodded as Shona clapped her hands together and Yashiro stepped back beside Kanae his composure regained.

"They were good friends once Madoka-san and Shona, it's probably why she remembered the dress they used to go shopping together and choose their dresses." he looked down at the red dress which clung so beautifully to the porcelain looking body and hoped he could get through this dance without... complications as there attention was drawn back to Shona who was asking the girls to input their chosen music. It was as Aoi jumped up from her chair and raced over to Chiori smiling that everybody wondered just where she got that cheeky grin as she whispered with Chiori who nodded and Kyoko who motioned for her to proceed as Aoi punched in the new song she had chosen for her uncle and his partner.

Shona almost snorted as the song title came up and Yashiro couldn't help but groan internally, this was definitely punishment for all those years he had pushed Kyoko and Ren he decided as Aoi spoke out without prompting "I'll let the song speak for itself." and she winked leaving Yashiro too his joy and misery to dance with the beautiful woman who scanned the song title and blushed.

The Music was slow and sultry as Yashiro composed himself into his professional dancing stance and took Kanae in his arms as Chris De Burgh, The Lady in Red pumped out of the speakers. As Shona watched them dance her heart clenched for an entirely new reason as step for step her Yuki led one of the most beautiful woman in Japan through one of the most sensual tango's she had ever seen and she new in that moment that some how and in some way last night there two hearts had connected it wasn't love she was sure, but it possibly could be if they wished it... yet it was there clear as day before Shona as she wondered if her Yuki would ever be able to truly dance with her as they once had now he seemed to have found another partner with whom he could let the music flow.

When the song finished and Yashiro looked deep into Kanae's eyes he knew in that moment... as he smiled and held back assisting her into a stable position and awaiting the next music choice. Chiori watched over Kyoko as she input her chosen song and patted her back when she did it correctly first time to a gracious smile.

When Shona's expectant eyes hit her Kyoko smiled guiltily, which made Shona's brows lift. "Honestly?" Kyoko asked to Shona's nod of affirmation "I just thought the song fit Moko-san." when Shona looked up at the title she nodded and Kyoko pressed play.

Yashiro smiled at Kanae as they danced he could see she was listening to the song intently and by the time it reached the first chorus her smile was radiant as the beat from Alicia Keys Girl on Fire pulsed around them as they danced into what Yashiro wished was oblivion.

"They dance so beautifully." Kyoko sighed as she watched from her seat between Chiori and Kuon who both nodded.

"They look like they were almost made to dance together don't they." Chiori said as Kyoko nodded

"Yes." Inside Kuon couldn't help but smile for his best friend as he had seen the sign's in his friend the look in his eyes as he looked upon the woman before him and he wondered if Kanae was even aware of the feelings she had awoken inside his manager and best friend, he had never thought about it before but just the same as he had not dated in years neither had Yashiro to his knowledge... Well now he thought about it had Yashiro ever dated since becoming Ren's manager? He had never asked for an evening off to do something special or booked holidays for romantic getaways... saying that he had never really booked a holiday for anything well apart from helping Shona with her moving he was as Kuon decided simply as work obsessed as his charge was.

Yet before Kuon now he could see a man who was completely enamoured by the woman before him, was this brought on by the music he wondered? Was Yashiro acting through the dance as easy as he did on set? He doubted it after seeing his reaction to Kanae's dress unveiling as the dance came to a close and Kuon was almost egging his best friend on to kiss the woman before him, yet shrugged internally as he did not. It was only as everyone else applauded and Shona complimented them highly that Kuon realised it was his turn now... his and Kyoko's! What music would their friends have in store for them?
