Author's note: I'm sorry for the VERY late update. Anyway, here's chapter 3 of Eternal!

Summary: Raspberyl is getting frustrated with Mao, he won't say if he sends her love letters or not. By the way.
no songs in this one.

"UGH! Why can't Mao be honest for once?!?!?! And tell me he sends those letters!" Beryl screamed

"What if he's being honest already, and he's not writing them at all...?" asked Kyoko

"It's a possibility, My lady." answered Asuka

Raspberyl turned to her subordinates.
"Do you know how UNLIKELY that is? What if he's lying to ME?!?!? His best friend!"
"That's not good to lie..." said her subordinates in unison.

All of a sudden Almaz came running again to Raspberyl.

"Delivery for Miss. Beryl!" said Almaz and handed her a letter and a gift, before running off.
"You say it wasn't him...? Mao likes to hurt Almaz enough to be a slave for him!"
"Anyway...you got a letter..." they both said again.

Again in completely neat male calligraphy.

Dear Raspberyl,
I know how desperate you are to find me.
But don't worry. I shall not keep you like this for long.
Because I want you to be my date.
For the 10-grade masquerade dance this Friday.
Oh just to be sure. I'm not Mao.
He gets really mad about that, and I hate to see him like this anymore.
I also hate to see your cute face being like this too...

See you soon,
Secret Admirer.

Raspberyl looked on in bewilderment. Mao really hadn't written this all!
Looking in the package, Raspberyl expected to be something dorky like a dress or a mask. Instead she found a single rose.
plastic.

There was a note attached.

"My love stays eternal, until that rose dies."

Obviously plastic never died...rather decomposed. But he didn't say decompose, he said dies. In other words his love stays eternally.

Asuka and Kyoko breathed on in a faint gasp of whispers.
"Hey Auka! Kyoko! If I do go to the masquerade dance...you have to help me."
"How would that help...? Everyone would be in masks...?"
"Pull of his."
"He could be ANYONE!"
"I know, but try."
"Okay then, but first shouldn't we get ready...? I mean it IS in two days..." said Kyoko "Right! We should prepare!" agreed Asuka

"Sure! A nice disguise is perfect!" Beryl replied.
"My lady..." answered Asuka and Kyoko again in unison, in disappointment.

After two days preparation, the dance was just about to start in a few hours.

"My lady! You look extravagant!" complimented Asuka "Indeed! No wonder your admirer loves you oh so much!" replied Kyoko "Stop complimenting me...Look at yourselves!" Beryl replied in much modesty.

Kyoko had been wearing a nice slighty revealing outfit, slightly like Megurine Luka's except violet and didn't have as much accesories. Asuka on the other hand had more of a ball gown slight magenta but very nice towards her figure.
Raspbeyrl was mre on the lacy side, and she picked it out with gloves and a spider-net leggings.
It had just the right touch of pink for her.

"Okay then...it'll start in 45 minutes now..." said Beryl "My lady, I believe your forgetting something." said Asuka "What would that be...?"
"Your mask." said Kyoko handing it to her.

The masks they had matched their outfits.
"Alright! Let's get this dance started!" said Beryl

45 minutes later...

Every possible student at Maritsu Evil Academy was there. Or perhaps the majority. Flocked me Demons in masks dancing, it was hard to tell the difference between everyone.

"Oh...it's going to be hard...!" said Beryl,
until someone lightly tapped her on the shoulder.
"Miss Beryl? Would you care to dance...?" asked a deep-voiced demon.
"Uhm...okay." she answered lightly taking his hand.

The male demon led her to center area of the room. Suddenly all eyes on them as if scheduled. Beryl felt the heat coming on. Sensing her discomfort, the male demon quickly pecked her on the cheek to let her know it was alright. Soon the room was filled with a more majestic music perfect for ballroom dancing. Raspberyl and her partner spun and danced to ballroom while not taking eyes of each other.

Asuka and Kyoko were standing from afar-not wanting to dance, but was asked many times- watching the two.
"Mao...is so tsundere...doesn't want to let her know it isn't him." they breathed heavenly.
Their breaths became a short squeal when Mao appeared from behind, accidently stepping on one of his feet.

"What did I ever do to make you step on my feet?!" he asked in obvious pain.
"Mao?!!?!"
"Yes...it's me. I decided to come. By the way, who's the guy dancing with Beryl? He looks oddly familar..."
"Er...we don't know."
"You don't eh...? I think I'd like to know!" then he unsheathed his sword "I'll know his identity."
"Mao?! NO!" they shrieked but they were too late. Mao jumped into the center blade towards the unknown.

"Speak your identity here!" he growled "Student of Maritsu Evil Academy." Uknown coolly replied.
"Reason for being at the dance."
"To dance, is there any OTHER reasons...?"

Raspberyl looked shocked. She was dancing contently with this'Unknown' having her head on his chest when Mao suddenly appeared interrogating him deliberately. All eyes on them again.

"Being smart eh? What kind of Demon are you?"
"I'm an honor student who keeps his grades high."
"Impossible!"
"I don't go to class or near the school but I ask for my homework sent to me, so I can finish and send it back."
"Alright...what's your name...?" he growled "Then what's yours?"
"It's Mao! Speak up!"
"*sigh* If I told you my name you wouldn't believe me. Just call me Unknown, if you will."
"Alright 'Unknown' what kind of relationship do you have with Beryl?!"
"Best friend being fiesty I see. Well it's no intimate relationship. Just friendly."
"Grrr...Well than Mr. Unknown. How old are you...?"
"Same as you." Unknown replied smirking quite interested in tricking Mao.
"Your clean." he muttered "I win is it...? Well than...I shall leave." Unknown replied, quickly giving Raspberyl a kiss on the cheek and softly on the lips.

Raspberyl looked in shock and content as Unknown went away... Was his name truly Unknown? Was he the one truly sending her letters...? Either way she didn't pay any attention to her surroundings. Not even to Mao who looked like he was kicked in the face.

Cliffhanger: Ooh...sorry guys. I kind of just dropped it there...anyway hope you enjoy this segment of Eternal!
I bet you guys REALLY want to know who 'Unknown' is right? Well tough luck, not this chapter! Or the next! Keep reading!
