"That had to be the best dinner, movie and dance club I've ever been to and had!" Marie said with a huge smile on her face as she turned onto the old dirt roads that lead to the mansion. Yuki sat in the front with her while two other friends, they happened to bump into at the diner, where with them. Behind Yuki sat Sarah a silent little brunet the same age and grade Yuki and Marie where in. She had the brightest blue eyes Yuki ever saw and the most perfect little perfect pâté body. She wore a dark blue dress that came down to the floor with small slits on each side that came to her knees.
Behind Yuki sat Zeke. Zeke was Sarah's neighbor and closest friend since they where basically born. Zeke had bright golden blonde hair and amazing hazel eyes, his skin was slightly tan and smooth as silk. He was the most popular guy at school and had once asked Marie and Yuki out but they both turned him down saying that he was no more than a friend to them. He accepted it after a while and gave up, he did not date now, but Yuki and Marie had a feeling that he had feelings for Sarah but did not want to admit it.
"I agree!' Zeke shouted out and jumped so high in his seat that he hit his head off of the top of the car making everyone in the car burst up laughing including himself.
Yuki had to admit that this one of the best days she had ever had since Lady Yakima had passed away. She then began to wonder what the party would look like inside. Did her other friends destroy the place or what? She then got this weird feeling that something wasn't right.
oOo
Deep in the basement of the Yakima mansion the old stilled air again had finally began to stir as an old spell began to fade and the ones underneath it began to awake, while the ones above where oblivious as to what was going on right beneath their feet.
oOo
Marie drove her Mercedes up the drive way and did not stop till she came to a small drive way that lead in to the back of the house. She took this small drive way and pulled to a stop near the back door.
"Why are we parking back here?" Yuki wondered as she got out of the car. She was about to look around when warm hands covered her eyes, blocking her sight from anything around her.
"We told you that your party was a surprise. You can't see anything until you get changed." Zeke said from behind her, as he was the one covering her eyes.
"Dressed? Am I not dressed enough for the party?" Yuki sighed. She hated to dress up more then what she was already wearing. If it was up to her, she would have worn faded jeans to her party.
"Nope, we have a special outfit picked out for you that matches the theme of the party." Marie said taking Yuki's hand and began to lead the way while Zeke still had her eyes covered.
"Theme?..." 'Just great….. Now what did they just do to my house?' Yuki sighed as she was lead through the house. As they entered the house, through the kitchen as Yuki could tell cause of the smell of the fragrance of cooking food and hear the pots clanging together. But it wasn't until she was lead through another door did she hear the music. It sounded old but familiar all the same, like ball room music. 'Why would they be playing ball room music?' Yuki wondered as she was then lead up a flight of stairs. As they go to the top of the stairs Zeke removed his hands and followed Marie, who still held Yuki's hand, down the hall.
Marie lead Yuki into her bed room and closed the door behind her and Sarah leaving Zeke in the hall way.
"Hey don't leave me out here!" Zeke joked form the other side of the door and began to knock on it. Sarah locked it with a grin.
"We'll be out soon Zeke; your outfit is in the next room over!" Marie said with a smile then turned to look at Yuki, who was glaring at her. "Don't worry, you are going to like this, trust me." She said and walked over to a bed where three clothing bags were laid upon it. She grabbed a dark blue bag and held it up. Whatever was inside made the bag look huge, this had Yuki scared. Then Marie began to unzip the bag, as she did so Yuki almost fainted.
"You've got to be kidding me!"
"Nope, the theme of your party is a Masquerade Ball. Just like the ones that were once held here many years ago, like the pictures on your walls." Marie smirked as she pulled the dress fully out of the bag.
Yuki sighed and closed her eyes and out stretched her arms. "Let's get this over with."
Marie and Sarah looked at each other, grinned and ran over to Yuki as they began to dress her.
oOo
Down in the basement, things began to stir a lot more. A soft voice echoed on an invisible wind. "It is almost time to wake, my dears. For the time to make a better future has arrived."
oOo
"Are we done yet?" Yuki asked. She had been sitting in a chair in front of her beauty stand for the past hour; after they had gotten her dress she was surprised she could even sit cause of the size of the dress, while they did her hair. She had no idea what she look like cause they had her back to the mirror and had her promise to keep her eyes closed.
"Almost Miss Impatient." Marie said as she pulled at Yuki's hair. "And… we… are … done!" Marie said with over excitement as she grabbed Yuki's arm, helped her stand, Yuki was also stuck where a pair of high heels and wasn't used to walking in them, and lead Yuki over to a body length mirror. "Okay open your eyes!"
Yuki sighed and took in a deep breath as she slowly opened her eyes. She had to blink a few times to let her eyes adjust to the lighting then let out a soft gasp as she looked at the person she saw in the mirror. "Is that me?" She asked glancing back to Marie and Sarah.
They both nodded with huge grins in their eyes, they were happy with their work. Yuki then looked back at the mirror still unsure if that her that she saw standing there, but as she moved her left arm, sure enough the person in the mirror copied her movement and ever movement after wards. "I can't believe that's me." Yuki said with a gasp still shocked. The girl in the mirror was wearing a long black dress with silver lacy trims, which came down covering her feet. It flared out below the waist and the top was snug and hugged her waist and chest showing a bit too much cleavage for Yuki's likening but she didn't mind. At the end of the long sleeves it flared out to covering her whole hand, that was covered with a pair of long leather gloves that came up to her forearms. On her feet where a pair of open toed heals with laces that wrapped up her legs to her knees in a comfort fit. Her hair was pulled back in a bun with pieces hanging down from center of the bun, most of the pieces where silver streaks that the girls added to match the dress.
Yuki turned and looked at the girl's. "Thank you. I didn't believe I would ever look this good." She said smiling twirling in one spot.
"You are welcome but we are not done yet." Marie said and pulled out a black leather box off of the table next to the bed and handed it to her. "We found this in the room down the hall, we didn't know if you would wear it or not but this note was in it, like someone knew that we would find it for you." Marie then handed her the note.
Yuki opened the note first, it read;
Dear Yuki;
This is for you. I hope you will where it and put it to good use one day. It was passed down to me from my mother and to her from hers and so on. This is will bring you good luck; please take good care of it.
Lady Sanyo Yakima.
"Oh, Lady Yakima…." Yuki said as a tear ran down her check as she opened inside the box. Inside the leather box surrounded in more red leather was a silver tiara, with a big sapphire gem in its center surrounded by smaller light colored crystals.
"Thank you guys, this has to be the best birthday ever." She smiled as she whipped the tear away with the back of her hand.
"Let us put it on and see how it looks." Marie said as she carefully took the tiara and placed it on top of Yuki's head. It fit her perfectly, the sapphire gem came down a bit covering some of her forehead, but all the same it matched her outfit. "It matches your eyes too." Marie smiled and Yuki nodded in agreement. "Now one last thing then you can help us get ready." She said pulling out another small leather box. "This was once my great grandmothers but I think it will match you better." She said opening the box to show a black masquerade mask. It had silver and gold feathers on its left side and covered her eyes and nose. Once she had help putting it on, Yuki did not recognize herself at all.
"I think everyone will be jealous of you." Sarah finally said something the whole night. "I know I am." She said as she began to put on her own dress. Her dress was a lot thinner then Yuki's and a light blue to match her eyes. She put on with ease and sat in the chair as Yuki and Marie put her hair up, with beaded hair pins. She then too put on her mask, gloves and heels then helped Marie put on her dress.
Marie's dress was a dark emerald with gold swirls on it. It was big like Yuki's and showed a decent amount of cleavage like the rest of her clothing did. The girl's put her hair in a curly bun that was half braided. She took put on a small gold tiara and mask with emeralds on it. After she put on her golden heals and dark emerald leather gloves they smiled at each other as a knock was heard on the door.
"You girls ready? Everyone else is waiting." Zeke's voice came from the other side of the door.
.
"We will be right out." Marie called out; made sure her mask was on right then headed over to the door and opened it. She walked out into the hall with Yuki and Sarah right behind her.
"Wow you all look amazing. Now who is who?" Zeke smirked as he looked the girls over. Zeke was in a simple tux with a small black cape tied around his neck. He wore a black mask with silver swirls on it that covered half of his face.
The girl's giggled and glanced at each other. "You of all people should know, Zeke. You've known us longer than anyone else." Marie smiled and stood behind Zeke as Sarah stood on his left side and wrapped her arm through his, and Yuki took his other arm. She only did this cause someone had to lead the birthday girl down to the others.
As they neared the stairs Yuki could hear the music from down below, what room it came from she did not know but it was right below them. As they got to the top of the stairs Yuki froze in her spot. For all of a sudden all of her strength was zapped from her body and she blacked out falling to the floor.
oOo
As a party continued on up stairs a light blue light began to light up the basement and a soft voice began chanting. "The time has come my dears. Wake and help save the world from the eternal darkness that is to be its future. It is time for you to awaken from your many year slumbers and awaken to a new world. I will warn you. This world is different from the one you once knew, the people are a lot different, then that of us. But have patience for the future rest in your hands and that of the selected few above. Now go, join the ball upstairs and find the chosen ones and protect them with your lives. You know of your duties, now awaken!" The voice chanted, once it faded soft grunts and yawns began to fill the room as creatures once in a deep slumber awoken once more to fulfill their final duty.
