Cougar's ballroom party has started and has invited thousands of holy members to his party, including the Kiryu heiress and the Ryu heir. What could happen during the ballroom party? Read and find out.
Chapter Seven:
Did we lost eachother?
Mimori looked up to see Cougar, but not to realize that she within five feet away from the person she is trying to avoid.
"I have invited you especially to this party for a reason…" continued Cougar. "Ms. Mimori, would you like to go out with me on a date?" asked Cougar with excitement.
Everyone in the ballroom was shocked and surprise to hear Cougar's request.
Mimori, herself, as well was surprised by this, for she had no idea on how to answer this.
As for Ryuhou, he is now stuck between the decisions of to either stop Mimori from answering Cougar's request or let her go.
Everyone in the ballroom had their eyes going back and forth from Cougar to Mimori.
Cougar still looking excited, waited for the Kiryu heiress to respond to his request.
The raven-haired is now stuck between answering the request or not; but she couldn't resort to not answering the request.
Ryuhou, on the other hand, was still fighting with his decision.
"Go to her…" thought the Ryu heir as he looked straight forward at the silent Mimori.
But, he didn't move, just kept watching and waiting for what action would Mimori do.
Mimori kept thinking on how to answer Cougar's request. It's not like its hard or anything, she go on answering 'yes' to the eagerly speed demon. But, he's not the person she has the 'saved feelings' for.
The feelings that still wander fiercely strong within her heart belong only to her childhood friend; Ryuhou.
Then, she looked up to crowd ahead of her.
But, it's pointless, knowing after the incident from yesterday…it was heart breaking.
She wept and wept yesterday hoping that the tears would actually erase all that she has seen from Ryuhou's dorm…but, it didn't work.
The Kiryu heiress looked up to Cougar to finally have enough courage to answer his request.
Then, Mimori speaks, ready to answer Cougar's request. "Cougar, I accept your request"
Everyone in the room screamed in content, while some where shocked.
Cougar was first shocked from the answer, he doubted that the Kiryu heiress would deny him in going on a date, but she actually accepted it. So, to show that he was the happiest man a live, he started talking over the microphone again.
"Ok!" Cougar said. "Now that my request has been accepted, I have to initiate the second part of the party!" he continued while pointed at everyone in the room. "Ladies and Gentlemen, you have a flower that gave to you all who were invited…as you know already, the flower will be used to find your other self. Which, you should be looking for the person with a different color-flower than yours. So, lets begin!" he yelled while telling one of the VIP members to put some music on.
The music was turned on, and it sounded more like jazzy-blues type of music. As the music started playing, everyone in the room had started looking for their partner.
"Wow…" said Sherrice as she kept looking over raven-haired female. "I never knew that she would actually accept Cougar's request" she said while looking at Ryuhou, who still didn't show any signs of reaction to what just happened right now.
"Sherrice, I will be back…" Ryuhou said putting his glass of wine on top of a long white table.
"Ryuhou, where are you goin…g" she asked, but Ryuhou had already started to walk towards the crowd as if he was looking someone.
Meanwhile, Mimori was sitting in one of the tables with her name on it.
She felt rather sit somewhere than dance with someone.
"Great…I've just accepted Cougar's dream…now…what do I do?" thought Mimori as she continued to observe the scene of dancing people in front of her.
She also thought why hasn't Cougar come to her? Since he did ask her out already.
"Strange…" Mimori said internally as she looked everwhere in the ballroom. "Maybe…I should search for him…" she said again internally.
She, then, gets up from her chair walks into the crowd.
As everyone in the ballroom continues to search for their partner, the raven-haired female seems to have it tough finding her the person who has asked her out.
But, as she looks around through the crowd, Cougar isn't there.
Then, the Kiryu heiress had an internal feeling of not being here, not in this place for one reason; because of him. But, she knows perfectly that her other self like the flower that she has attached on her upper part of her dress is here, and is already looking for her.
The Kiryu heiress hides in the crowd not wanting to look for her other half, since she knew who it was. If he were to come to her, who knows what she would do or say. No, she can't allow her to be overpowered by his appearance nor talk. She needs to be strong for herself no matter what.
She looks around to see if he's somewhere near or even close to her, but he wasn't. She takes this as an advantage by leaving the party. Just as she starts walking, she stops; not knowing the reason why she stopped.
Then, she starts to feel something yearning within herself, from her heart.
Could it because she wants or feels the need to talk to him? Does this internal feeling really has what it takes to control her from leaving the ballroom party?
She's only a few steps away from the entrance door, yet she bulge to move.
She questions herself on why won't she move, the entrance is a few steps ahead of her. She needs to leave in order to avoid him, but she won't move.
She finally forces herself to move, but a very tiny step. She's not even close to the entrance yet.
As she continued to be lost in her endless thoughts, someone from behind her interrupts her, getting her attention.
She knows whose voice it is, but doesn't turn around to face the person behind her.
Just a few seconds from the mysterious person interrupted Mimori, the music changed from jazzy-blue to slow and romantic type of music.
"I'm sure you would be able to accept my request as well" said the person from behind her.
And, yet, she won't answer him nor turn around to face him.
"Now, hear my request…" said the man as he got closer to Mimori from behind. "I hope you are able to accept it…like the last one that was asked by the other man earlier today" the man whispered by Mimori's ear, giving her some chills run up her spine.
The mysterious man took a few seconds before continued.
Then with calm, yet, soft tone of his voice he asked, "Would you care to dance with me?"
Mimori knew who it was, it was him. And she wanted to avoid him, which she wouldn't have to remember the terrible incident of the day before the party. So, she could at least forget about it. But, no…today had to be the day where she has to see him again and yet answered another request. Just how many requests does she need to answer today anyways? More than a hundred? No that's just insane!
She, then, turns around to find the person who she wanted to avoid today was right behind her; Ryuhou.
"Ryuhou…" Mimori said as she looks up to the emerald haired man's eyes.
He looks down at her as well, but not with the eyes that would show no life in them. Why would he show eyes with no life in them? He revealed his feelings to her, so knew that there was no need for him to show is usual cold exterior to her. No, not her.
"Mimori…yes or no?" asked Ryuhou, still in front of Mimori.
Mimori doesn't answer the question being asked by the man n front of her, she instead just looks up to in the eyes.
A few seconds past between them, and it seems that Mimori was using it at her advantage. She used the few seconds she had to just observe him, to see if his eyes are telling her something. And they did.
His eyes told her…the same thing that she wants…the need to talk to each other.
"Yes…I accept your invitation…" she finally answered.
Ryuhou didn't say anything except grab the Kiryu heiress by her hand and take her to the dance floor, where everyone else were dancing with their partners.
Then, they both at each other as their eyes were locked. Ryuhou, then, puts on of his hands by the Kiryu heiress waist as the other hand grabbed one of Mimori's hands while closing the gap between their bodies.
Then, they start dancing with the still going romantic song.
With the music still going, Mimori felt her heart start beating fast. Since, she was dancing with the person who she needs to be with right now. But, all she wants to do right now is just leave her mid to rest and dance with the one she wants to be with right now.
A few minutes passed by… and still more romantic music was put on.
Then, one of the two got tired of the silence that was going between them.
"So…" said Ryuhou who broke the silence between them. "Why did you accepted Cougar's request?" he asked whispering by her ear.
No, this is not what Mimori needed. Typical how Ryuhou can actually ruined the moment with his usual questioning about some things he didn't like.
"Ryuhou…I…" Mimori said but was interrupted.
"Is it because of me?" he asked still whispering by her ear. "Did you accepted his request to just take it as revenge against me?" he asked while tighten his grip on her.
"No…Ryuhou…it's just that…" but Mimori was interrupted again.
"Is it because you finally moved on?" he continued to ask.
"No…Ryuhou…" she said loud enough to be only heard to Ryuhou. "I…just need…" she continued, but stopped.
Then, she didn't say anything else but just stay silent while dancing with Ryuhou.
The emerald-haired man observes the Kiryu heiress with his eyes. To much from what he can tell, she isn't saying anything from her facial features.
"Mimori…" he says as he sees that Mimori looks up to him.
He gets close to her face just one inch distance between his lips and hers.
"Mimori…" he whispers by her lips. "Did I lose you already?"
