They all sat in the dorm lounging area. Kaname had declared that he'd had an announcement to make, but most of the attention was on Yuki, whom most night students found entertaining and interesting. Indeed...she was the most beautiful of them all...the most unique...but in certain students' eyes...it was dangerous. "Did she really attack Sara-sama? She looks pretty harmless." Rima said. "Well...expect the unexpected as she said." Kain sighed. Suddenly, Kaname appeared at the top of the staircase with Takuma and everyone was silent. Yuki stood at the bottom of the staircase with a bored expression. "This year, it is our turn to host the Winter Ball." he started.
Some students groaned, most began to whisper. Yuki clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth. "And the committee in charged has decided the theme, as Black & White Masquerade." While Kaname and Takuma went over details, Yuki scoffed. A "Black and White" ball? How mainstream. As the announcement audience was dismissed, Yuki started up the stairs to her dorm room; a few night class boys followed asking her, tempting her...begging her (some even on their knees) that she'd go with them. She only gave them her chilling, yet smooth smile as she reached the top of the stairs.
As if there were a forcefield of radiating caution, they all backed off when Kaname flashed them his dark and death-asserting stare and took Yuki's wrist. She turned to him slowly. "May I be the first to ask you to the ball?" he said. "I believe they already beat you to it, brother." she said softly. "Well then may I have an answer?" She stared at him a moment then leaned forward. "Persuade me." And with a simple mischievious wink, she was already disappearing down the dim hallways.
And so this is what Kaname did. Up until the final two days until the ball, he tried to persuade her. He'd gotten 2 rejections and 3 maybes. His sister must have been enjoying this game just a little too much, because while he used his temptations...whispering in the ear, tickling the wrist, talking about the multiple offers he'd gotten...she used her own temptation like a gun to his head. She may have not thought so but he'd picked it up. Playing with the buttons on her shirt, letting herself flash the black lace lingerie under her clothes; twirling her hair around her finger; the way she'd look at him, scoff, then look away. He had no idea she was like him in most areas of teasing.
But he believed with this last chance to win her over (practically demanding a 'yes')...he'd win this flirtatious game. She sat in her room painting her nails a blood red. Just as she finished applying it upon her last fingernail, a knock came at the door. She turned her head and the door seemed to open on its own. Seiren stood silent, watching the door open itself. "What?" Yuki said tediously. Seiren bowed as she held out the box. "A gift from Lord Kaname, Princess Yuki." she said. Yuki got up and took the box curious, dismissing Seiren with a hand. She set the box on her bed opening it slowly. Perhaps this will bring back a few memories. I will see you at the ball - Kaname, the note read. She rolled her eyes tossing it over her shoulder, pulling out the She tilted her head and scoffed. It could use a bit of adjustment.
