Chapter 10: Cupid Love Dance

Few more hours before the memorable night which is the dance. Ema has mix feelings for it all truthfully. Before she met the cold-hearted Jiro her emotions were pure excitement. Just for one night she wanted it to be a magical fairytale. She doesn't believe in fairytales at this point.

Ponytail girly is in her bathrobe and blow-drying her long brunette hair. In a few minutes Louis is supposed to show up in her room to do her hair for the dance. It has been awhile since she last spoke to him. Ema is still fluster and worried if Louis is somewhat upset with her of the accident awhile back. She knows for sure that she will apologize.

*Knock*Knock*

"Chii-chan it's me?"

Ema turn off her blow dryer and look at her door. "Juli?" she walked over to the door and open it her eyes met with the sweet gaze from the hair stylist.

"Oh Louis it's you...?" Ema surprisingly exclaimed and peek over his shoulder too see if Juli was in the hall.

"Haha yes. Ready for me to glamour you up?" He close his eye shut while smiling bright. Ema blushed and nodded.

In the room Ema is sitting on her chair while looking at her enormous mirror watching Louis doing his work on her hair. It was quiet and Ema is getting this awkwardness from Louis which never happens. Her mouth is about to say words till Louis spoke up.

"You excited for the dance chii?" Louis eye Ema through the mirror.

"Y-yes..." Ema frown a little but won't expose it.

"Your boyfriend...Jiro was it? He seems very charming." Louis did not look through the mirror. Ema gaze up just a little to watch Louis facial expression. You can tell he is hurt by it. It surprise the girly that Louis would be bother by this. All she can say is.

"He...is." after saying that she wanted to vomit her words. Felt like poison to her. She haves to act like Jiro is this amazing guy ever. Getting distracted she wanted to bring up the incident that happen few days ago. "Louis...I am sorry."

"Um? What are you apologizing for?" Hairstylist question meeting her gaze again.

"I impulsive ran out of my room and did not watch where I was going. I am sorry for...falling on you." Ema blush saying it out loud.

Louis blush while smiling at her. "It's okay. Actually...I did not mind at all."

Ema eyes widen while blushing like a red dr. pepper can.

After what was said Louis finally finished Ema's hair. It was half up in a bun and loosely her long hair is dangle down by her back it was curl up. Also added Louis put in some pins one was a baby pink heart and her bangs became side bangs. Total transformation Ema was in love with her hair and blush while smiling she turned to Louis.

"Thank you so much. I look so-" She got cut off.

"Beautiful yes." Louis lean in and gave her a hug. It was long-lasting it made Ema's heart to race like a hot wheel. The quiet hairstylist is enjoying this little moment between the two. Their hug apart when someone knock on the door.

"May I come in?" quiet voice asked politely.

Ema recognize the voice and smiled. "Yes Iori."

Iori slowly open the door and stare at Ema dumbstruck all he mutter was "Wow..."

"W-what something wrong?" Ema question while her eyes widen by Iori's reaction.

"Nothing...you look beautiful." Iori smiled and walked toward her. He gaze at his older brother and grinned. "Your amazing Louis-nii."

"Hehe thank you Iori. Well I must go. I will see you downstairs Ema." Louis left the room leaving the flower lover and ponytail beauty alone.

As the door closed behind. Iori became extremely shy...he hasn't felt this way about a girl for longtime. His hazel eyes admire the beautiful Ema and he smiled.

"I could not wait any longer to give you this...if you don't mind?"

Ema watch Iori brought something behind his back and her eyes widen. It's a baby pink rose corsage.

"It's so beautiful..." Ema smiled so brightly.

The shy prince walk over to her and put it on her wrist. Iori's touch made Ema's heart skip a beat.

"I am happy it fits you just right. I hope you like it." Iori said in a shy tone.

"Yes! I love it so much thank you Iori." Ema wrap her arms around giving him a hug. Iori face became red and he almost wrap his arms around her but he was scared too. Ema felt odd that Iori did not join in the hug. She didn't think it was a huge deal as she a parted the hug and stare in his hazel eyes.

"This is such sweet thing. Thank you so much." Ema continue showing gratitude.

Iori nodded while smiling and about to leave her room. "Well...I am glad. I will see you downstairs when you're ready." He closed the door behind him. As he was alone in the hall. He crunch his chest feeling his heart beat fast. He is not positive if he is happy feeling this way or not.

Ema felt so lucky to have people care about her. As she walked over to her closet and grab her baby pink dress it's so elegant and long. She put it on and walked over to her mirror. "I look like a..." she got cut off.

"You're a princess, chii!" Juli exclaimed by the window.

"Thanks Juli. Say were you in the hall awhile ago?" Ema question.

"No I was outside collecting more hazelnuts. Why?" The squirrel jump off the window and landed on her soft bed to continue staring at her.

"It's not important. I..." She turned to him and became worried. "Can I do this...?"

"Yes you can my princess, chii! Forget about that skunk bag Jiro and just dance the night away or whatever you humans do at dance's." Fluffy Juli ruffle his tail and smiled at her. "But! If that skunk bag does anything too you...then I will get him personal!"

"Hehe thanks Juli. I love you." Ema walked over to him and hug him. Juli smiled and also replied. "Anytime and I love you too, chii."

After their cute interaction. Ema left her room went straight to the living room. As she gaze at the corner she can hear the brother's talking. Girly felt nervous showing her brothers this different side of her. She took a step forward as her high heels kept making clack clack sound. It became dead silent as the Asahina brothers gaze up to see the beautiful Ema.

All of them were breathless and their jaws are wide open. Only Wataru broke the silence.

"Big sis! You look like a princess! Wow!" Wataru exclaimed excitedly while clinging to Masaomi.

"I agree you look stunning Ema." Masaomi nodded while smiling.

Ema smiled about to take her first step on the stairs with high heels. Tsubaki rushed up the stairs and extended his hand out while his eyes sparkle of beauty. "No princess should take the stairs by herself." Beauty girly blushed and grab a hold of his hand. They both slowly walk down the stairs and landed safely on the ground.

"Thank you Tsubaki." Ema smiled kindly.

"Anytime..." Tsubaki is just love-struck at this very moment.

"Ema would you like me to take some pictures?" Ukyo offer while holding a camera.

"Yes! That would be wonderful." Ema felt someone put their arm around her it's no other then the pop star.

"Ukyo-nii-san. Take a picture of us two first." Fuuto had a cat smile and gaze his eyes to Ema. Her face became red.

"Alright 1,2,3! Click!" Ukyo smiled. "Alright let's take more."

Each and every brother took a picture with Ema. This made her ultimately happy. These are memories that she always want to remember and cherish them.

It's close to the time when Jiro makes his oh so appearance. Right on time the door bell rang.

"I get it!" Wataru exclaimed he dashed up the elevator and went down the stairs. As he open the door his perky spirt went flat as he gaze up to the familiar cold gaze.

"Hello there little boy. May I come in?" Jiro ask in a polite way.

"Yes..." Little Asahina mutter being annoyed.

Wataru show Jiro the way back upstairs too the living room. The rich boy is wearing a black tux and underneath a pink shirt. In his hands is a crosage in a fancy box. He took the stairs and met with the girly's gaze.

"My Ema you look amazing." Jiro smiled while leaning in giving her a kiss on the cheeck. Ema eyes widen in shock while blushing. As Jiro is admiring her he look down at her wrist and question.

"Why do you already have a crosage?"

"Oh...well orignial when I didn't had a date. Iori made me one...I am sorry I forgot the date is supposed to bring one." Ema felt apologetic.

The Cold-hearted Jiro had a poker face. He only fake smile. "Oh I see. It's alright. Well since I am here why not wear it?"

Ema had cold-feet. Iori felt jealous in the inside because he put all his love and passion of making Ema the crosage. Kaname is studying his younger brother's behavior and very surprise. To solve it Kaname think fast.

"My good man. This can be easily solve. Why not she wear both? That's normal right Hikaru?" The Buddhist gaze to his dress up brother.

"Oh yes! It would be more stylish. It will make Ema more on the spotlight." Hikaru smiled and knowing what Kaname was doing.

Jiro smiled to the both older males and gaze back to the beauty. "True I supposed. Let me put it on for you, sweetheart?" he put it on her other wrist.

"Would you two like to have your picture taken?" Ukyo asked.

Ema wanted to say no but Jiro smiled. "Yes thank you." He put his arm around her.

Yusuke, Iori, Louis, Fuuto and Tsubaki are hating Jiro with all their might. They hate seeing another male hugging and kissing her on the cheeck.

The red head is very quiet he hardly spoke this night. Natsume notice and whisper in his ear.

"I am sorry. I had no idea she would have a date." Natsume whisper.

Yusuke brush off some dust of his black tux. "It's my fault I should of ask sooner..."

"Alright Ema ready to go?" Jiro sapphire eyes looked down to the girly.

"Yes I am..." Ema turned around and look directly at Yusuke. "Want to come with us...Yusuke?"

The Red head eyes widen with surprise. "Sure...if your date is okay with it?"

Jiro flitch a little and nodded. "The more the merrier. Let's go."

Ema form a smile but not at Jiro at Yusuke. He blushed seeing her smile at him like that.

All the brother's waved good-bye to them and wish them to have fun. About fifteen minutes they arrive at Hinode high school. You can tell it's crowed with so many people. They step out of the limo and walked inside the school. It was so colorful and lively.

There are hearts everywhere up in the ceiling walls and cupid's everywhere. It's dark in the gymnasium. Lights like pink, red and white are shimmering everywhere on the dance floor. So many young teens are partying it on. Right now the song is a lively one. Yusuke gaze at Ema's excited facial expression and looked down at her hand. He wanted to grab it and run on the dance floor with her. Instead Jiro grab her other hand and walked her over to the dance floor. Ema looked back seeing Yusuke drifting far away then by a second she lost sight of the red head.

The girly tried having a good time but it's hard because Yusuke is stuck on her mind. She is wondering if he is having fun or...lonely? Jiro snap her out.

A slow song turn on and Jiro hold out his hand. Ema grab it and the two are slow dancing. It's a romantic song but Ema is not feeling no romance at all.

"I was mad that you did not throw away the corsage." Jiro whisper.

Ema eyes widen and whisper back. "Iori put a lot of thought into it. I am sorry I did not tell you sooner that he was making me one."

"Pfft. Who cares? Mine is way more elegantly looking. His...just looks too dull." Jiro rolled his eyes while using a bad attitude.

Ema felt anger what he said and whisper rudely. "What's dull is your lack of respect. I don't care what you think. I love this flower Iori made for me. It's beautiful and I can feel the warmth from it."

Jiro became silent and was surprise that Ema had the guts to talk back at him.

Meanwhile Yusuke is by the snack bar. Drinking red punch like there is no tomorrow. He is having a horrible time. The girl that he absolute adores is dancing with another guy. He is hating himself for not making a move longtime ago. His left hand is in his pocket and feels something smooth inside.

"The bracelet...I bought this for her. I guess I will not give it too her. Because of her dumbass rich boyfriend." Yusuke angrily mutter while chugging the red punch.

"Haha aren't you going to get sick by drinking so much punch?" A soft voice asked. Yusuke look to his left and it's a girl with long purple hair up in a bun wearing a long purple glitter dress. Her eyes are emerald and they sparkle kindness toward the trouble red head.

"Who cares. I am somewhat enjoying the stuff. I recommend you taking a sip of this." Yusuke close his eyes while turning to his right to pour himself another cup. The girl walked toward him and grab a hold of his cup and sip it. Yusuke reaction was surprise while his jaw is hanging down.

The purple hair girl lick her lips and grinned. "Your right it's good punch..." she winked at him.

Jiro could not handle Ema giving him the silent treatment. He slowly open his mouth. "Look I am...sorry. There are you happy now?"

Beauty is still not saying anything. She just wants this slow dance to be over and try to find Yusuke.

"Can you at least try to have fun with me." Jiro asked in a cold tone.

"Okay." That's all she can say. After the slow song was over. Ema let go of his hand. She is about to go look for Yusuke. "I will be right back."

Ema tried finding red hair sticking out from the crowd but no luck. She did see some red but it's her friend Rio.

"Hi Rio how is it going?" Ema smiled. Watching her friend dancing with her date.

"Ema!" she hugged and they both exchange giggles. "I been trying to find you. But obviously it's a full house right? You look absolute beautiful!"

"Aww thank you. You look beautiful as well. I am all the way over the other side of the gym." Ema pointed to show her eager friend. Rio's date said something to her.

"Hinata look over there is that Yusuke! And with another girl!?" Rio date shouted excitedly.

Ema heart started to race and turn so fast that her hair fly. Her chocolate eyes are not deceiving her. Yusuke is dancing with another girl and he looks very happy...too happy...seeing this is making Ema's heart ache a lot.

Rio jaw drop while hugging Ema. "OMG! That's Kiki I can not believe she would dance with Yusuke!? Ema I thought you two might of gone together?"

"Um...n-no. I already have a date. In fact he is waiting for me...I should get going." Ema left in a hurry she could not stand seeing Yusuke with another girl.

Ema did not go back to see Jiro. Her mind was not with her at the moment with her actions. She went outside to get some fresh air. There is a special cherry blossom tree up in the hill. She walked their after taking off her white high heels. She carried them on her hand while the other holding up her silky pink dress. At last she made it on top and slowly sat down on the grass and leaning on the tree.

The flashback of Yusuke is making her really sad. She never had this feeling before this jealously...Ema glad that he is not alone. Truth be told I think she wanted to go with Yusuke to the dance. Since they are in the same grade and home room. Slowly a tear is dripping on her red cheeck.

Jiro is concern for Ema. She has been gone almost twenty-minutes. He started looking around the whole gym. He came across from the red head boy.

"Uh Subraru!" Jiro exclaimed but Yusuke did not respond. So he pulled him from Kiki. He looked and became angry.

"What the hell! I did not know you were calling me. For you information that is my brother's name dumbass. I am Yusuke!"

"Whatever. I need your help." Jiro asked in a concern tone.

"Where's Ema?" Yusuke got the hint and became serious.

"That's the thing I can not find her at all. She told me she would be has not return. I thought she would be with you." Jiro felt bad.

Yusuke tighten his fist and look straight in the cold hearted man's eyes. "I will go and find her. You keep Kiki company." Without a reply he left the two in a hurry.

The Red head is thinking really hard where Ema might be at. He look all over the gymnasium, the hallways and he asked a random girl to check in the bathroom to see if she was in there but not luck. The only place he has not tried was outside.

Out in the spring breeze the moon is out shinning down. Yusuke walk all over campus grounds and he remember that Ema like this certain tree but right know he is clueless of which tree it might be. He tried every single one and the last was this big one on the hill. He hike up and without a surprise Ema was leaning on the tree crying her eyes out.

Yusuke sighed in relief and walked toward her. "There you are."

"A!" Ema squeal and look behind her. "Yusuke..." she turned away hiding her face.

The red head sat down next to the girly. He can tell she has been crying and he became concern.

"What's wrong. Did Jiro do something to you." Yusuke question with seriousness.

"N-No...It's nothing...go enjoy the dance. It's going to be over soon." Ema wipe her tears but more kept coming.

"Like that's going to happen. I am not leaving you. Please talk to me." He put his hand on her shoulder.

Ema chocolate eyes gaze up to Yusuke hazel eyes. "I...was not having a good time like I thought I would have been. When...I saw you with that girl...you look like you were having the time of your life."

Yusuke froze to process what Ema is saying...and he might of a hint. This is where he will be honest.

"Not really...At the beginning I was by myself. Then Kiki came to keep me company. She kept me not thinking about something..." His voice became soft.

"What do you mean...?" Ema question.

Yusuke hug Ema and whisper to her. "Thinking of you."

Her heart started to race and blush crazily. She continue to listening Yusuke whisper.

"On that day, when Jiro came by the house. I wanted to find you and ask you to the dance. I realize I was too late. Also...I bought you this." He let go off her and show her the sliver bracelet with a pink stone on it.

Ema eyes glitter under the moonlight and grew a smile. "It's beautiful."

Yusuke put it on her to connect with Iori's crosage.

"I wish you ask me to the dance. I would of said yes." Ema blush while smiling.

Yusuke smile grew while blushing he stood up. "May I have this last dance then?"

"Yes." Ema grab Yusuke hand to stand up.

The two walk hand-to-hand back inside the school and walk in the gymnasium. It started playing the slow song. Ema wrap her arms around Yusuke neck. His hands are wrap around her waist. The two close their eyes while their foreheads touch. Listening to the harmony.

At this moment Ema felt romance she thought it would never happen at this moment. Yusuke felt the same.

People drifting away because this is the last song of the night. Jiro is standing outside the guidelines and finally saw the two. For some crazy reason he felt mad seeing them dance. As the song ended. The two exchange a stare from each other. It got interrupted.

"Ema there you are!" Jiro exclaimed. He grab a hold of her and hug her. Yusuke felt anger again.

"Y-yeah...sorry Jiro for the wait. I-." She got cut off.

"Don't worry about it." He look at Yusuke and gave him a fake smile. "Thanks for finding her for me. Let's go get ice cream. Oh and Yusuke Kiki is waiting for you outside bye." Jiro grab a hold of Ema's hand and basically dragging her. Beauty looked back seeing Yusuke standing there. she could not say anything. They left the gymnasium.

That moment Yusuke realized something that he is helplessly in love with Ema Hinata.
