Chapter 3 – The ball
Nemu walked into the room behind Rangiku. Everyone went silent when the two walked in. Whispering immediately started when everyone saw Nemu. She looked stunning and everyone knew it…even our bald prince, Ikkaku. Across the room he stood talking with his friends a moment ago until one of them elbowed him and pointed towards a girl asking him wasn't that that girl. It was Nemu, all right.
Matsumoto saw Ikkaku and taking hold of Nemu's arm she pulled her across the room to dear Prince Ikkaku.
"Hey! Sorry we're late!" Matsumoto grinned, taking a bottle of sake from someone and took a swig at it.
"Nemu, is that you?" Yumichika smiled, "I always knew you were beautiful like me!"
The girl blushed while Ikkaku shot daggers out of his eyes at his friend. He was jealous…plain jealous. Tee hee♥!
"Ah! Yumichika! I know you love this song! Why don't we go dance, so you can show off your beautifulness! You guys too," Rangiku pushed the rest of the guys and gave a wink to Nemu. This left Ikkaku and Nemu all alone as in no one but them. Nemu loved this song too, she often would sing along with it when Mayuri or her sisters were around. She smiled, as her favorite part came on it was a love song.
Ikkaku noticed this and he ever…no…never had saw this girl smile before. "You like this song?" he asked her and she nodded, shyly. He smiled as he took the girl in a dance position. "No lady should dance alone tonight."
"Ah…" Nemu blushed deeply as Ikkaku's hand was on her waist. He also knew this song and resting his head on her shoulder he sang into her ear. His voice was soft and soothing, she had to strain to hear him but it was nice. She got up her courage and began to sing with him. It surprised him at first but soon he relaxed once more. Their voices sang in harmony and their unspoken love showed through the song. Their voices matched and weaved together naturally like they were a part of each other.
The song ended and Ikkaku raised his head, slowly like time didn't matter they kissed on the last few beats of the song. Their lips parted a moment later and they smiled sweetly at each other. Nemu glanced at the clock…oh no! Mayuri, Annie, and Mickie would be arriving home soon.
"Sorry, Ikkaku-san. I really must go…I'll see you some other time…" Nemu said goodbye to Ikkaku and ran off, leaving him standing there alone. She was beautiful, yes, and she was nice. So quiet and shy and attractive in her own silent way. Her voice was like a magical tune and their kiss so sweet. Would they ever be together?
"Hm…you should go after her," Rangiku somehow materialized beside Ikkaku. The boy was too full of thoughts of Nemu to even be surprised.
"You're right, Rangiku…" Ikkaku went off after Nemu. He had a feeling something world happen to Nemu and his feeling was, unfortunately, right.
