.:The Fourth Night Part 1:.
Aria's POV
I backed away, completely stunned, and stumbled towards my dorm- hearing Zero call my name behind me. Did he say he loved me?
Oh god- this is SCARY.
I closed the door, and just before shutting it I heard the sound of pounding footsteps coming my way and suddenly my door flew open and I watched as Yuki ran in, blushing like crazy.
"Yuki, what happened?" I asked, checking for a temperature.
I hadn't read her mind in awhile so...
I quickly tapped into her thoughts and I smiled at what I heard. Oh god Kaname-sama kissed me!
I smiled, covering it with my hand.
"Oh my god, he did?" I gasped running up and hugging Yuki cheerfully. She looked at me warily.
"You read my mind again didn't you Aria?"
"Yeah…"
"Oh, Ichijou wanted me to tell you something." Yuki said and I pulled back to look at her.
"What about…?"
"Well he wanted me to give you this and he wrote you this note." Yuki handed me a box with something soft in it, and I knew it was a dress and then I quickly snatched away the note, reading it warily.
It read: "Aria, tonight is the ball. Two things: One, you must tell me your answer; Two, I got you a dress to wear to the ball. I heard you were singing and I knew you would like this lovely piece."
I stared at the sheet of paper, which was folded neatly, and I tore open the box. I instantly gawked.
There was a light blue dress with a white trim, it had spaghetti straps, a black and blue flower on the right breast. The dress was silk, it went just bellow my knees, and fit almost like a cocktail dress so it moved very nicely. It came with a dark blue silk scarf and a hair tie that had a dark blue rose decorating it. I looked at it and suddenly Yuki was looking over my shoulder.
"Oh my god did Ichijou get that for you? Oh go try it on!" Yuki insisted, pushing me into a small bathroom. I nodded and held the dress close to my chest.
I put on the dress, put my hair up in a bun (lose strands of bronze hair falling from it) with the hair tie, put the scarf around my neck and let it fall from my shoulders. My bangs fell over my eyes, curling slightly. I smiled. I brought out a pair of gold colored high heels and walked out into the room where Yuki sat in a chair.
"Wow, Aria looks so cute!" Yuki yelled, hugging Aria tightly. I smiled.
"Thanks, Yuki. When is the ball?" I asked, and Yuki looked down at her watch.
"Um, 10 minutes; OH I HAVE TO GO GET READY!" Yuki exclaimed running to her closet.
I giggled- stepping out towards the door. I needed to go on watch. I opened the door, grabbing a bag. I opened the door and hopped out and suddenly I saw Zero; my Zero. He was wearing a tux; a TUX!
"Hi…Zero." I whispered, looking up at him with my big dark blue eyes. Zero looked at me and blushed.
"Uh…Aria about what I said-" I cut him off.
"Uh…l-let's get to that ball!" I yelled, grabbing his hand and dragging him off towards the auditorium. Zero sighed and we finally got to the auditorium.
*Nobody's POV*
Aria hurriedly sped to the stage, and watched as the band glared at her.
"You're late." They growled, and Aria looked at them apologetically.
"I know, I know. I'm so sorry." She bowed to them and snapped up. She giggled and grabbed the mike and spoke into it, voice like honey.
"Hello everyone! Welcome to the annual Cross ball. Please enjoy the music, does anyone have suggestions for the song?" Aria asked, looking around. She saw someone's hand, Aido.
"Arms of the Angel!" Aido yelled as girls swarmed around him.
"Thank you so much for your suggestion!" She yelled.
Aria fixed the mike and coughed slightly to the left and began.
"Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel "not good enough"
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the Angels, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the Angels, far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here."
Aria stopped singing, and looked out into the crowd and stepped down from the stage as another singer came up. She smiled at her and the blonde looked at her with a smile. Aria walked down and felt a gust of air and suddenly Takuma Ichijou was in front of her, smiling.
"So, princess, what is your answer?" He asked softly, tilting her head upwards. Aria looked up at him and smiled warmly.
"Takuma Ichijou I love you." And he leaned down to kiss her.
A/N: Yup, lets see where this leads. BWAHAHA! I hope the next part surprises you! See you in the next chappie!
