Aura exhaled deeply, as she left the classroom, leaving an extra pair of clothes and her weapon belt hidden under one of the desks.

Tonight, I have to follow the images. If not, the bastard might run.

"I'm not going to let him get away for what he did," Aura muttered to herself, "He's going pay."

Later that night

Everyone else had arrived on time, except for one person.

"Oh yeah, where's Aura, Kid?" Maka asked, "Did she arrive here earlier?"

"No,"Kid shrugged, "Haven't seen her at all."

In that moment, Aura appeared in strapless light blue dress, a darker blue ribbon decorated across, the skirt bellowed above her knees, and finally silver sandals completed it. Aura simply had her hair up, as wisps of her bangs framed her face.

Speed walking, Aura greeted the group,"Good afternoon everyone. I'm sorry for being late."

"Aura, is that really you?" Maka blinked, "You look great!"

Liz whistled as she joked,"Not too bad, I thought you were going to wear a suit."

Aura's eye twitched,"Let's just say I went into a deal with someone and lost the bet."

Patty laughed,"Ahaha! You lost the bet!"

In truth, the people who won the bet was none other than the Thompson sisters.

The punishment was for her to wear a dress and to dance with Kid.

Why did I lose to them in Old Maid?

Aura cried internally.

"It really looks good on you," Tsubaki complimented.

"Thank you, Tsubaki," Aura thanked the polite girl.

"Not to bad. Although you coul-" Soul ended up being interrupted by Aura shunning him with a glare,"Don't make me give you a chop, Soul."

Her gaze moved over to Kid, who just recently noticed her presence.

"Aura..." Kid started

"What? Does something seem asymmetrical to you?" She frowned, Aura really didn't want to hear about being asymmetrical today at all. Although to her surprise Kid responded differently,"No."

She's suddenly symmetrical tonight.

Kid accidentally bit his tongue after taking in her new appearance,"You look quite lovely tonight."

"Huh?" Aura blinked, did she hear wrong? Death the Kid didn't ridicule her about her symmetry for the first time!

"I'm so hungry..." Black Star jeered.

Sweat dropping internally, Aura thought.

How uncivilized...

Maka and Liz nudged Aura, giving her the knowing look.

Aura sent them silent shut up rejecting the idea of her liking Kid. Falling in love with a fictional character was the last thing she ever wanted.

It was bad enough these two wanted to shove me toward Kid.

~Time Skip~

Now to escape...

"Where do you think you're going, Aura?" Patty linked her arm into Aura's.

Shit. I've been found.

"C'mon Aura, you have to!" Liz linked Aura's empty arm as she and Patty shoved the poor girl toward Kid's direction.

(Found Me ~Persona Trinity Soul OST~)

"W-Whoa!" Closing her eyes, Aura hoped on falling straight to the ground, but someone caught her before she could fall. Opening her eyes, it was none other than Death the Kid holding her steady.

"I-I'm sorry! Liz and Patty pushed me ove-"

"Great timing. I wanted to talk with you alone." Kid interjected as he continued his words, "Will you spare some time to dance with me?"

I need to excuse myself soon! I have to go underneath the DWMA immediately!

Aura reminded herself.

"I'm not that good at dancing though," Aura made yet another half truth to Kid, but unfortunately Kid was persistent,"Doesn't matter. Just follow my lead."

She felt her hand grasped by Kid's as they began dancing. Her hand draped over Kid's shoulder, as Kid held her waist keeping their distance close enough to speak.

Aura inwardly gasped as she found herself staring at Kid's eyes.

No...I didn't want to be alone with you of all people today! Ugh, why did I lose the bet?!

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Aura started the conversation doing her best to hide her emotions.

"I wanted to apologize about forcing you to answer my questions about your past. I didn't mean to bring back old scars." Kid explained

Was this the reason he wanted to talk to me...?

Aura shook her head in response, "No. It wasn't your fault. What happens in the past stays in the past."

"After all you knew nothing much about me since the day we first met. I should be the one saying sorry."

A small smile was placed on Kid's face, as he leaned to whisper in Aura's ear, "Thank you. You're an interesting person, Aura."

Aura felt her face heat up, "I'm not amazing. Its called being admirable over what you do. All it takes is the courage to do something brave or something beyond one's own capabilities."

"Hm, is that so? Maybe I should follow your example once in a while."

Talking to Kid, it doesn't feel all insensitive anymore. Insults have transformed to compliments. What's wrong with me? I shouldn't feelings for the guy characters here. I said so even before arriving here. My heart swelled beating rapidly upon contact of Kid's breath against my face. So why? Why am I accepting to be this close to Kid?

"Aura? Are you all right?" Kid asked halting our dance, "You seem kind of red."

She wanted to yelp, "M-Maybe it's just fatigue from earlier...ahahahaha! I'm going to go get something to drink. I'll be back soon."

Kid's POV

After the speech I tried to finish successfully, I searched for Aura.

Until...

"W-Whoa!" As I caught the person falling toward me, I realized it was none other than Aura in hold. I look up to find Liz and Patty giving me the thumbs up. I raised a brow, before returning to face Aura. Perplexed, Aura apologized for nearly raming into me, "I-I'm sorry Liz and Patty pushed me ove-"

Interjecting Aura's speech, I respond, "Great Timing. I wanted to talk to you alone."

"I'm not that good at dancing though," Aura reasoned with me, but I didn't back down,"Doesn't matter. Just follow my lead."

Grasping her hand, she placed her hand over my shoulder, as I held her waist keeping our distance close enough to speak.

Again, I've found myself staring back at Aura's clear blue eyes.

A symmetrical sight to behold.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Aura started snapping me out of my focus on her eyes.

"I wanted apologize about forcing you to answer my questions about your past. I didn't mean to bring back old scars." I respond in return.

Aura shook her head in response, "No. It wasn't your fault. What happens in the past stays in the past."

"After all you knew nothing much about me since the day we first met. I should be the one saying sorry."

As I made a small smile, I leaned closer to Aura's ear, "Thank you. You're an interesting person, Aura."

Aura began to stammer in her speech, "I'm not that amazing. Its called being admirable over what you do. All it takes is the courage to do something brave or something beyond one's own capabilities."

"Hm, is that so? Maybe I should follow your example once in a while."

As we danced together, we continued discussing a few things about ourselves.

"I've noticed lately whenever you're in class," I mentioned, "You're always reading a book or grading papers for Professor Stein. What kinds of genres do you prefer?"

"Mythology," She spoke in a blunt manner, "And sometimes mystery or historical books."

I wasn't surprised about how she mentioned her love for greek mythology. Before meeting the nauseating creature, Aura was holding a book on greek mythology when she recited the story of King Arthur.

As we dance, it didn't feel bad. Our first meeting may have not been so perfect, but we were able to reason with each other. I didn't mind her presence. This feeling...is quite calming.

Soon I became aware of how red Aura's face became.

Is she becoming sick?

"Aura? Are you all right?" I asked halting our dance, "You seem kind of red."

Stammering again Aura responded, "M-Maybe it's just fatigue from earlier...ahahahaha! I'm going to go get something to drink. I'll be back soon."

As her fingers brushed off my hand. The warm feeling left still lingered as I watched Aura merge into the crowd of DWMA students enjoying the gala.

I didn't want her to leave my sight.

Yet, why did I let her leave?

I questioned myself silently as the gala continued on.

Aura's POV

Making a mad dash away from Kid, I hid myself within the crowd while heading outside. While jogging I felt horrible for abandoning Kid, but the mastermind who drowned me is bellow the school. Luckily no one noticed my absence as I jogged over to Crescent Moon classroom to change.

Entering the classroom I rushed to changed my clothes. A white long sleeves dress shirt, black neck tie, black blazer, black battle skirt, and sneakers.

"I swear KHR and Men in Black influenced my color preferences," I uttered to myself as I clicked the belt onto my waist.

(Dominator ~Psycho Pass OST)

"Time to meet the damn bastard."

I rushed out the door. As I followed the images that lead me to the monster.

Unknown to Aura's awareness, a snake followed her watching Aura's every move.
