Halloween

There was nothing wrong with Satoshi Hiwatari's attire. He actually really liked it. He wore black everything, equipped with a long, black coat, and a pair of black sunglasses. He felt like he was in The Matrix, but he didn't mind. He looked rather handsome. BUT... there was a problem with Risa Harada's outfit.

Short, one piece red dress with thin straps. It barely went below her knee cap, and had slits along her torso area. She wore devil horns over her head and was currently leaning on her red trident. Bored, she began to twirl the pointed tail that was attached to her dress. She was more than beautiful.

Blushing furiously, Satoshi turned away as Risa called to her sister. "Riku! We're going to be late for the party!"

Daisuke, who was dressed in a magician's outfit, checked his pocket watch. He fiddled with all the gadgets in his jacket, placing his monocle at his left eye. Finally, Riku Harada came stumbling down the stairs, fiddling with the halo that accompanied her angel outfit. She smiled sheepishly and apologized, while Daisuke only turned a dark shade of red, told her not to worry, then shyly took her hand and the two walked out the door to the car.

Satoshi and Risa exchanged looks, nearly bursting into laughter.

"Finally! You guys came!" Takeshi greeted the four of them when they arrived at his house. He looked at Risa a certain way that made Satoshi clench his fists. "Did you take forever getting dressed again?"

"Hey!" Risa scowled. "That was actually Riku this time!"

"My, my, that's surprising," he said, not really taking his eyes off of her.

The lights were down low, and the music on the stereo was quite loud, but it wasn't horrible. People were laughing and drinking punch, and dancing. All the costumes were amazing. Time passed.

"Are you alright?" Risa asked as she approached Satoshi, who had been sitting in a chair for the duration of the party. Satoshi shrugged, and Risa glanced over her shoulder at the dance floor. She looked at him again and held out a hand. "It's the last one. Dance with me?"

He could never refuse her. As he placed his hands on her waist, she tugged on his tie. He looked down at her.

"Come on. What's wrong?"

Satoshi shrugged again. "I don't mean to be such a burden."

Risa paused. "It's ok if you don't like Halloween, Hiwatari-kun. I just thought you'd have fun at the party..."

"I don't hate the holiday. On the contrary, I enjoy spending any type of holiday with you." He stopped for a moment, taking off his coat and placing it over Risa's shoulders. She was confused, but he just took her in his arms again and leaned close to her ear. "I simply don't like it when other men stare at you."

She was silent for a moment, blushing furiously. When she managed to control her beating heart, she relaxed, then kissed his cheek. "Well, aren't you just a gentleman?"

He smiled. "I try."
