Chapter 22 is up! Hope you all like it. :D


"My beautiful Akari..." I suddenly hear someone say. I look up and see my ... prince standing in front of me.

I sighed. "Hey."

"What's wrong? Is it what had happened earlier?" he asked.

"What!? You saw that, too?" I said, shocked.

"No. Someone told me. I didn't think it was true but now..." he said, kind of angrily and his words drifted off. I saw him clench his fists.

"Umm...But don't worry. It was an accident. He got pushed. It's not that big of a deal." I said, nervously laughing.

"I wonder how long it will take to make you mine?" he muttered.

"What?" I questioned.

"I'll just steal you for the rest of the night and make it last." he said, smiling down at me as he held out his hand to me.

"Alois... I don't really..." I started to say. He bent down and reached for my hand. He pulled me up towards him and pulled me close. He then put his hands on my waist and pulled me closer to him.

He looked intensely into my eyes. I looked back into his. They glistened in the moonlight. We had shut out the outside world and were in our own, just the two of us.

Little did we know, though, that the people from inside had come outside and brought the masquerade ball out to the school courtyard. Everyone was paired up and holding on to each other as they danced lively on the courtyard to the music that now played, and the singing which was being done by none other than Sakura and Tamaki. Tamaki played the guitar and sang along with Sakura.

Sakura: Our love is unconditional

We knew it from the start...

Alois pulled me closer to him. We smiled at each other, then blushed and quickly looked down. We started dancing smoothly on the courtyard along with the music.

Tamaki: I see it in your eyes...

Sakura and Tamaki: You can feel it from my heart...

Sakura: From here on after let's stay the way we are right now

Tamaki: And share all the love and laughter

Sakura and Tamaki: That a lifetime will allow...

Alois spinned me around and held me close again. I made a small smile and looked him in the eyes once again.

Tamaki: I cross my heart

Sakura: And promise to give all I've got to give

To make all your dreams come true

Tamaki: In all the world...

You'll never find a love as true as mine

Sakura: You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete...

Sakura and Tamaki: And as long as there's a breath in me I'll make yours just as sweet...

Alois then pulled me into a hug. I was surprised but hugged him back.

A love as true as mine... Sakura ended the song and everyone started cheering and clapping for Sakura and Tamaki.

"Akari...I... I really love..." he sighed, hesitating to say the rest, as he let go of me.

I was looking down at the ground, not wanting to meet his eyes. I then looked up because I didn't really hear what he had said.

"Huh?" but just as I raised my head, I felt a nice, soft warmth on my lips.

Alois and I both gasp and quickly move away from each other.

"Um, I was only going to... I...Sorry." said Alois, blushing.

"I-it's fine..." I said, blushing, too.

"I was honestly only going to give you a kiss on the cheek...but..." he said.

"No, really. It's okay." I said.

Alois and I were both just staring at the ground.

"Sorry, but Alois has to get back home. I hope you two had a... wonderful time." said Alois' butler, Claude, who appeared beside Alois with a small grin on his face. Alois then left with Claude and never said another word to me.

"Akari!" I heard Sakura yell behind me.

"Sakura? Hey... What's wrong?" I asked, looking back at Sakura who was walking furiously towards me in her long dress.

"Are you crazy?! You just made out with that freakin' creep, Alois!" she exclaimed.

"Wait, what?! No...We didn't make out, he kissed me." I said.

"Still, what the heck?!" she said.

"It's not my problem everyone loves me." I muttered.

"What did you say?" asked Sakura.

"Nothing." I said quickly. "By the way, have you seen Shaye?" I asked.

"Shaye...? Ohh...No. Why?" said Sakura.

"Because I could feel his creepy little presence in the music room. I'm pretty sure there were two other guys with him." I said.

"What would...Nevermind." sighed Sakura. "So, other than...the Alois thing... How was the other part of your day?" Sakura then asked.

"Hm, it was crazy." I said with a laugh.

"Crazy? What happened?" she asked.

"Umm...Well...Hikaru accidentally kised me...on the lips!" I blurted out. "Fuck..." I then muttered under my breath.

I looked at Sakura and her jaw dropped wide open in shock.

"And you'll never guess who had bumped into him, which made the "accident" happen..." I went on.

"Freakin' Amara." said Sakura angrily.

"Correct." I said.

"Wow, I just... Dang, Akari...two guys in one night..." said Sakura.

"Whatever." I said and started heading ou the courtyard.

"Wait, you're already leaving?" said Sakura.

"Yeah, I've got nothing else to do here." I said.

"Or do you?" said Sakura and she appeared in front of me.

"Huh?" I said.

"Bye, Akari. Have a great night." said Sakura sweetly, which creeped me out.

"Akari...I want you to meet some friends..." I heard a nice, soft voice say. I turn around.

"Remeber them?" he said. 3
