The glamorous ball was set as everyone who was invited laughed, and had a good time. The banquet was filled with mouth watering delicacies, something everyone would die to eat, and many would stack their plates high and gorge the whole dinner down their throats.

Everyone, whether they wanted to, would receive a blare of the trumpets announcing their names. It was as if they were the main guest, which made them feel warm inside.

Of course, there was one that got annoyed of this...

"HEY! Who told you to shout my name up in the sky!" Tsuki grabbed the announcer's collar, looking rather pissed off at him. He let him go, letting his warning be a glare. "Now I can't surprise those two that I came."

"Now, now, Tsuki... The President is always like this. He is, after all, rumoured to be... flamboyant," Vidka scrutinized at the thought. "Although, maybe too much?"

"Yes, it's too much."

They both entered the room, surprised that they gave off an aura that humans seemed to love. It was as if they were celebrities.

Everyone would stare at them, surprised at how perfect a picture they seemed, and would be surprise even more when they started to talk to the Tsuruga Ren. Who were they?

Then again, who was the girl with Ren? She was clinging onto him the whole time, almost as if he was her possession. She didn't let go of him once, and it almost looked like she couldn't do anything if she let go.

Tsuki raked his hair with his fingers as he smirked. "Having a grand time, I see?"

"Yes! I was surprised that you got an invitation!" Keiko exclaimed.

"The President gave me one, and he told me I could bring anyone else if I wanted to," he looked at Vidka. She glanced up, but hid a blush by refusing to look at him.

"I... My name is Vidka. Nice to meet you, Tsuruga Ren," she held out her hand as they both shook hands.

"I would assume you are also that?" Ren asked, emphasizing it.

She nodded, understanding what that meant. He knew that she was also a shinigami.

"Why, of course I am. Why else would Tsuki invite me if I wasn't?"

"True, that's true."

The foursome was soon led to the table. They soon had to leave as they found out that Tsuki would pile 20 plates up high just for his "snack". Believe it or not, he managed to not waste the food and wolfed it all down. Even if he wasn't human, that just seemed insane!

He really does eat like my father. They both have this gigantic black hole of a stomach. Yet... I don't think he could be related to me. Could it be just a coincidence?

As Ren was contemplating, he didn't notice how Keiko was eating. She opened her mouth widely, to make sure it would get in, but the food would keep falling onto the plate. It was noodles, and she couldn't hold the chopsticks properly. She could have done the lazy way of using chopsticks, which was twirling the noodles rather than let it grab the food each time, but she didn't know that.

She soon let out a frustrated sigh.

Vidka saw this, and saw how Ren was in thought. She didn't want him to break his thoughts, as that might be rude, so she helped Keiko.

Except, this seemed odd as a group of girls gossiped.

"What does that girl think she's doing? Is she some princess that she needs to be fed?"

"Oh! Why is such a girl with Ren?"

"The way she clings onto Ren, it makes me furious!"

"Who does she think she is?"

"She's Ren's sister," came a reply. The reply came from Tsuki, as he just finished eating. He wiped his mouth with a napkin. "Do you think she has no right to be near him? You got some nerve to say that about my cousin."

"C-cousin?" stuttered the group. They looked back and saw no resemblance to the girl and him.

He sighed. "Cousins and siblings don't have to look the same." He turned around as he was about to walk away. "Oh, by the way. The reason why she clings onto him is because she's blind. She can't see."

This only left the group gaping. Other people who were listening in on the conversation were spreading it across the whole room, letting it be the talk of the night.

Except one thing popped into their mind:

Why haven't they heard that Ren had a sister?

"Tch, what a mess. That boy put those girls in their places, but now everyone is asking me why I didn't tell them Ren had a sister." Lory shook his head as he went through the crowd. "They never asked if he had siblings, so I never said anything."

"Sir, the fact that Ren san is the #1 celebrity in Japan would make this news a buzz," said Sebastian, using his normal calm voice.

"Yes, but all this must be scaring Keiko. The last time I saw her, Ren was leading her away from everyone else. Along with Tsuki and... was that guest he brought called some alcohol?"

"No sir, not the least. It was Vidka."

"Oh! I keep mistaking it for Vodka."

"A common mistake if you dowse yourself in strong drinks, sir."

"... Er. Anyway, I think we should-"

"KEIKO!"

They both whirled around to the sound as they gaped at the fallen girl on the floor.

This chapter isn't long... Sorry... Anyway, if I don't finish the other chapter in time, then I'll just say this now. Hope you all have a nice Christmas! (Even if I don't celebrate it, I can still say it, can't I?)
