Chapter Thirteen: The Triangle Begins.

Keimo and Coletta exited the theatre, hands intertwined, both sets of eyes catching the tryout list accented by the waxing moonlight. They both gasped when they saw who would be the leads.

"My, they must have done well." Coletta murmured.

"So it appears," Keimo murmured with equal care. His emerald eyes perked up as he read down the list, wishing his name was on it. "Hey, is that-?"

"It appears to be." Coletta sighed softly. She then followed Keimo's gaze to find Sheon calmly leading Mhera up the steps. "He treats her well, you know." She murmured softly in his ear.

"I do, but I can't see past his looks." Keimo muttered somewhat darkly.

"But she does, and that's what matters. I'll tell you, if he was available, he wouldn't be so for long." Coletta responded. " I think she really wanted you to get the Phantom's role, but the cards weren't stacked in your favor." Coletta drew back as Keimo's facial muscles twitched.

"Don't remind me." Keimo half-vehemently hissed, emerald eyes fully employing their paternally inherited icy glaze. Keimo then sighed, disgusted at his reaction to a simple remark. A look of surprise crept across his features when a hand placed itself on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up so soon. It was a natural reaction." Coletta said softly.

"No, it's fine. Forgive me for reacting so hastily." Keimo softly sighed.

"Already done, Keimo." Coletta smiled fondly.

Sheon led Mhera to the glass door, where the tryout list was posted, and read as follows:

The Phantom: Bakura Royou

Christine Daae: Mheralo Ishtar

Raoul deChangy: Sheon Yagasawi

Mme. Giry: Tea Gardner

Meg Giry: Kim Yagasawi

Firman: Tristan Taylor

Andre: Joey Wheeler

La Carlotta: Coletta Sangrashi

"Amazing…" Mhera breathed as she traced her own name on the list with her fingers. "I can't do this."

"You can, Mhera. I'll be beside you all through this. Nothing will let me break this promise to you." Sheon sighed softly as Mhera laid her head gently on his shoulders

She stole a glance at her brother. He was smiling with Coletta at his side, deep in conversation, which caused her to smile as well. Sheon watched Keimo with somewhat unbelieving eyes. Mhera smile wider, laughing lightly "He's really quite the conversationalist." Her gaze panned to Sheon's steel gray eyes.

"Mhera. You're looking at me funny. Is there a reason?" He took her left hand into his two.

"No," Mhera half-lied, carelessly placing her right hand on top of Sheon's hands, which were still cupped around her left one.

"Your, hand… does it hurt?" Sheon asked with concern in his voice.

"No…it doesn't." Mhera hesitantly said.

"You don't have to lie to me, Mhera. Please tell me why your hand is glowing." Sheon pressed.

"I can't." Mhera said softly.

Seth's voice then entered her mind, "You never made that second Seal; you can always tell him. He almost died for you, Mhera; that should tell you he cares deeply."

Sheon's voice swayed her mind, singing to her softly,"No more talk of darkness, forget these wide-eyed fears; I'm here, nothing can harm you, my words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears. I'm here with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you... Let me be your shelter, let me be your light, You're safe, No one will find you; your fears are far behind you... "

"Sheon… not here." Mhera giggled softly

"Anywhere you go let me go too. Tell me, that's all I ask of you." Sheon sighed as Mhera laughed softly at his lyric flub. "I meant love me, that's all I ask of you."

" I know." Mhera sighed softly, her laughs leaving her. "I can't tell you yet. " She looked over to the other couple on the steps. " Not until we have my brother's full attention."

"I know how we could easily get it." Sheon grinned as mischievously as he could.

"Oh, and how would that be?" Mhera arched her eyebrows.

"Easy, like this." Sheon planted a kiss firmly on her lips, holding it there until the reaction desired was obtained.

"Hey, get away from my sister!" Keimo came running over to them, a look in his eyes, that if looks could kill, some one would be hurt. Once he realized that it was Sheon, he sighed. "Trick of the moonlight. I, um, thought you were someone else."

"It's understandable; I've been mistaken for less than desirable people." Sheon flashed a smile that caused Mhera to blush. "There was a reason we pulled that on you though. Mhera now will you tell?"

"Tell what?" Keimo arched an eyebrow.

"It's about Bakura." Mhera said resolutely

Both young men looked as if they would faint the moment the name was mentioned, which pleased the pair of watching eyes greatly. I love this part. The owner of the same eyes watching at the docks mentally laughed.
