Hello
I know I said this in my last chapter - but I'm saying it again - I'm going to be starting a new story for D. Gray-Man, I'm still thinking about the storyline but I know for sure it's going to have Tyki Mikk as one of the central characters. (and it's going to be romantic LOL) I hope you guys can take the time to read that too :D

Arya's POV:
The song ended just as quickly as it had started. People started heading back up to their rooms; more than one with a drunk member on their hand.
I turned to Rogue. "Thank you for the dance."
"My Pleasure," he replied with a smile, and kissed my hand before departing. I watched him go, until he faded into the crowd.
I waited until everyone had dispersed before analyzing what had just happened.
What had just happened?
It was almost like leaving this world for a moment, leaving behind my worries, enemies, the pressure… like bursting up from under the water to catch your breath, before sinking back down.
I reached for a glass of wine and downed it. I looked around to see if I could find Yukino, only to discover everyone was already gone.
"You'd better shove it," one of the caterers told me, smirking "The drunkards gonna wake up real soon. They'll be in the halls, everywhere darlin'."
The dress lifted around my ankles as I sped towards the exit. No wonder everyone had left so soon.
I had just stopped outside my room when something hurtled into me. I held up the tiny mass, as it squirmed in my hand. "Let go!"
An Exceed?
"LECTOR! I heard someone yell around the corner. LECTOR!"
I let the exceed go as Sting lurched around the corner. You didn't need to be a genius to know he was blind-drunk.
He smirked at me, running his eyes over me lecherously.
I tossed his Exceed back at him, and shot him a glare. Bending down to pick up my key, I didn't realize him sneaking towards me until he had grabbed my arm.
"SLUT!" he bellowed, yanking me towards the opposite wall, where he pinned me down. "I… saw you… dancing with Rogue." He said loudly, as pain exploded in my upper back.
I tried to knee him in the groin – but my dress was too tight. Cursing, I spit in his face, now realizing the gravity of this situation.
His grip tightened as he leaned forward and smashed a messy kiss against my lips. He reeked of beer.
ENOUGH. I had had enough.
I threw him off in a second, in a sudden burst of strength, cracking my back in the process again. Grabbing my shoulders, I gritted my teeth and sent a stone pillar crashing into his stomach, knocking him out.
"Arya!" I heard a shout. I looked down the corridor to see Rogue. He'd seen the whole scene – even the kiss. He ran down the hallway and nudged Sting. "I was looking for him, I knew he'd try to go bother someone…" he mused, angrily
I wiped my lips. "Is there anyway I can report this idiot? I can't get his filthy stench off my lips."
"Saber tooth doesn't have anything like that. All the members have to care for themselves – it's a sign of strength, apparently."
My eyes widened. "Are you serious…?"
He looked at me. "What happened to your shoulder?"
"He slammed me against the wall," I groaned, bracing my back against the wall as I fell to my knees.
"Let me see."
He gently swung my hair across my shoulder, and made me lean against him. Holding my arm back firmly, he examined the area around my shoulder blade. I could feel myself growing red as he examined the bare muscles. I shivered as his cold fingers held me still.
Why was I so nervous?
"You'd better see the nurse," he said after he was done, helping me up. "Can you walk?"
I nodded, and he fell into step beside me.
"I'll take care of Sting when I get back."
