Dancing the Night Away
AN: Hi. I just thought, because it has been a while since I updated and that it's my birthday, I'd give something to you guys in celebration of today. I apologize for any errors. If you want to point them out I will fix them. There might be a few due to this being a little rushed. I just wanted to give you guys another chapter while I' thinking about it. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Chapter 6 of Angel with the Harem from Hell.
Yuu was surprised when he heard that the Japanese Imperial Demon Army would be having some mandatory dance in a few days. When he heard, he had practically spewed his entire lunch onto Kimizuki and Yoichi in shock. He instantly began worrying about the three girls vying for his affections killing either him or each other over this. However, he soon dismissed this as he believed none of them were that foolish. After helping clean up the mess he made in his surprise, he went to seek out Guren for advice and an explanation of what was going on with this sudden announcement.
In Guren's office, Guren had been sleeping at his desk when he was awakened by loud knocking at his door. He looked up to see Yuu at the door, frowning slightly. Guren motioned him inside and for him to speak.
"Guren. I have several questions. First, why is there a military dance? Second, what the hell am I supposed to wear?" Yuu asked.
"OK. What you have to wear is up to you to get. If I were you, I would get my uniform cleaned up nicely and wear that, minus the hat. As for the dance, I have no idea. I heard rumor that someone convinced Kureto to hold it. He tried to say no, but they were extremely persuasive" Guren said.
"Thanks Guren. Hopefully, we both survive this. I have a bad feeling about all of this" Yuu said as he left. Guren thought about his statement, but just waved it off as Yuu being paranoid.
Later that evening, Yuu is in the library researching dancing techniques and general formal dancing. While he is deep in thought, Mika walks in and asks "What are you doing, Yuu-chan?" She walks in and looks over his shoulder. "You're trying to learn to dance just from reading those books? That's not going to work" she said.
"Do you have a better idea? Cause I don't" Yuu says as he pinches the bridge of his nose. Mika smiles devilishly as an idea formed in her head.
"I could teach you! I hated it, but Ferid gave me dancing lessons a few years ago. I could show you exactly what you need to do" Mika said eagerly.
"Great! When can we start? I have to be ready by tomorrow and I have to get my uniform really cleaned up by then as well" Yuu said.
"We can start now if you want" Mika said. "I don't have anything going on tonight."
They head up to the roof of the building. Mika explains the basics and demonstrates each general technique. Over the next few hours, after many, many repeated explanations, Yuu and Mika begin dancing on the rooftop in the moonlight. Mika blushes as Yuu takes her through the smooth movements of waltzes and the dips and dives of various tangos. Unknown to them, Shinoa and Asuramaru are watching them from the doorway to the roof, seething with jealousy.
The next day, Yuu walks into a newly captured and restored building in the city where the dance is being held. He is shocked to see all the finery of the formal ballroom restored to its former glory. Yuu goes over to a section of the large room where tables and chairs are set up. He locates a chair near the front and sits down, watching as soldiers and their dates dance to the music. After a while of just sitting there, Yuu notices Guren dancing with someone and see a flash of pale purple hair, although this person is much taller than Shinoa. He gets up to go investigate, but stops when he hears the soft clicking of heels on the floor, the swish of fine fabric, and the slight jingle of multiple bracelets. Yuu turns around to see Mika walking up to him in a pure white dress that goes down to her ankles. It glitters with uncountable, near invisible jewels sown into the gown itself. The dress is very low cut and Yuu's face turns scarlet at the sight. A beautiful diamond necklace hangs around her neck and numerous silver bracelets decorate her wrists.
Mika walks up to Yuu and holds out her hand palm down. Yuu quickly understands what she wants and gingerly takes her hand and places a light kiss on it, before gently releasing it. Afterwards, Mika gives a twirl showing off her beautiful gown. "What do you think?" Mika asks Yuu.
"Wow" Yuu says in bewilderment. "You look breathtaking tonight. Where did you get a dress like that and all that jewelry as well? Not saying it looks bad, but where would you get all that?"
As he stops speaking Mika places a single finger on his lips. "That's a secret. I can't go around revealing all my tricks, now can?" Mika says a devious smile on her face. "Now don't you have something to ask me?"
Yuu instantly realizes what she is implying. He bows slightly. "May I have this dance?" Yuu asks holding out his hand for her to take.
"Yes you may" Mika responds with a smile. She takes his hand and allows him to guide her to the dance floor. Yuu gently takes one of her hands and rests his other hand on her waist. A slow, smooth waltz begins playing and they gently move through with the crowd, moving with the music.
As they dance, Yuu realizes that nearly everyone else on the dance floor is watching them intensely, with looks of jealousy at seeing a low ranking soldier dancing with such a beautiful girl or awe at their perfectly synchronized movements. "It seems we have an audience" Mika whispers in Yuu's ear. "How about we give them an impressive show?"
"Alright, let's do it" Yuu says as the song changes from a slow waltz to a fast paced tango. They went through the various twirls, dips, and dives perfectly causing all those around them to gawk in awe. From across the room, Guren sees this display in the corner of his eye and grins slightly before turning back to the beautiful red-eyed girl he was dancing with.
Soon the tango ended and a slow dance began playing. Mika rests her head on his shoulder and draws him closer as they move to the slow beat of the music. Mika turns her head to face Yuu and smiles. They both lean forward and their lips collide in a heated kiss. The moment seems to last forever, even though it was only a few moments. They were immersed in a cloud of their own love and fantasy. They dance the night away.
As the evening ends, Yuu carries an exhausted Mika back to his room as he was not sure how to get to Mika's. When they reach Yuu's quarters on the nicer side of the barracks, Yuu lays Mika down on his bed before collapsing from exhaustion himself. Mika awoke briefly during the night and dragged a sleeping Yuu onto his bed and fell back asleep in her previous position. They both dream of the wonderful night they spent together.
AN: there you are. You asked for something to happen outside of Yuu's room, so here. Like I said, today is my birthday, so I thought I'd do this because I didn't really do anything else today. Hope you enjoyed this. If not, as usual, please don't hate me. Peace.
