The Day of the Ball

<Yami's POV>

'It's the day of my ball.' I was frustrated. 'We've been down this path and nothing has change, they should know by now that I'm not going to choose a girl right off the bat.' I looked out the window. Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door. "Come in." "Hey Yami, you should get ready for your ball, not just sit around. It starts in an hour." I turned around, I knew it was Kira, but I wanted to look at her. "Why aren't you dressed?" I asked her. "Well I don't want to go, it'll only make it harder for you to choose someone and besides I thought you didn't want me there." I pouted and she giggled softly. "What are you giggling about Kira? That wasn't funny." She took a deep breathe. "You looked so cute when you pout. You kind of remind me of Phera." I turned to face the window, trying to hide my blush. 'She thinks I'm cute. She thinks I'm cute.' I smiled.

"Yami, you should really get ready." "Oh all right, mother." And I stood there looking at her. "Uuhhmm...Kira..." "Oh, did you want me to leave." "NO!, I mean, umm...c-c-can you help me....find some..thing to...wear?" There was silence. "Please?" She smiled at me and nodded. 'Yes!' "Come on we don't have much time." I grabbed her hand and pulled her into my dressing room.

She was in awe, I guess. "You have a lot of clothes, for a guy, kind of makes you..." "Makes me what?" "I don't want to say, you'll get mad." I closed my dressing room door and turned on some candles. "I promise I won't get mad." I was still holding her hand. Her cheeks turned pink. "Are you ok? Do you need to lay down?" "Umm..no." "Are you sure?" "Yes, now we have to choose something for you to wear." She pulled her hand from my hand and started looking through what I had. I pulled her arms and held her close, so we were face to face. "Don't try to change the subject!" She looked scared of me. 'Oh great. Now look what you've done Yami, brilliant.' "Kira, I..." I put my arms around her and rubbed her back. "I'm sorry, I was just worried about you."

<Kira's POV>

'His hugs feels warm and comforting. I wish I could find someone with that kind of hug someday.' I didn't know how much had past by, but it was getting late. "It's okay Yami, I know you only did that out of concern, so don't worry about. I'll be fine." He let me go and I turned to pick out the clothes for him.

When he was finished dressing he came out of his closet. "Well, what do you think?" I looked head to toe. He looked really good. "Umm...Kira?" I snapped out of my trance. "Hm? Oh! You look great, I think a lot of the suitors are going to like it too." Suddenly Phera barged in. "FATHER!" She looked at both of us and a smirk grew played on her lips. "Was I interrupting something?" "What?" We bother said in unison. He looked at me and I looked at him. We turned our head to the opposite direction. I was blushing, but no one saw. "I'll leave you two alone." I heard the door close. "Uumm...I'm going to leave. Yami you should be getting into the ballroom by now." He looked at me for a while and nodded, then he opened the door for me. "Thank you." "Your welcome." I decided to smile, 'What harm can a smile do? None...I hope.' Yami went down the hall and I went to my room.

I laid on my bed and thought about stuff, the things that happened in the past, thing that happen just now and things yet to come. I let out a sigh, but then a weird feeling fell down upon me. It felt like someone was watching me, from...everywhere. 'I never told anyone this, but lately I been feeling FallenAngel's presence again or someone like her. I wasn't too sure, but I know it's trying to get to me somehow, but can't. As if it feel threatened by something or someone. Well who or what that person or thing is, I'm grateful.' I laid to my side, my room was pretty dim, I never really like the dark, that's why when I train I find the stop with most moonlight at night. Ever since I was a child, whenever I was in the dark, the winds, shadows and every sound around whispered terrible thing. It still happens, the winds whisper hatred and anger, through the skies saying that I was going to have a slow and painful death if I ever returned to the dark.

I shifted to the other side and thought about other things, trying to get my mind off of those things. I stared at the candle, it was vibrant and it looked happy, dancing on the sting, melting away the wax. I walked over to it and I sat on my desk. The flame was warm, it reminded me of when Yami held me in his arms. I blushed as I thought about him. 'I can't lie to myself, I do like him, maybe even love him, but that's too strong of a word. He probably, already found his 'love' right about now. <sigh> I wonder if I'll have love that's true and loving. I wish it was Yami, but I bet he'll do the same thing to me like last time. Hey, I think I thought up a poem.' I started writing. 'I wonder how Yami's doing?'

<Yami's POV>

The women came one by one and introduced themselves to me. 'All of them are the same. Good personality, good with children, trustworthy... How will I know if it's true? I just met them...' "Now we will have a dance." 'Oh great...now I have to dance with these people.' I went down and as I went down I saw a familiar face. 'OH NO! NOT HER AGAIN!' And she was the very first one to dance with me. I glared at her, but she didn't seem to care. She grabbed my hands and made me dance with her. "Hello Yami, it's been awhile. I've missed you." "Is that so? Well I didn't." She laughed quietly. "Oh you we're always the joker." I was confused. "No I wasn't. Listen Tea, what are you doing here? I thought I never wanted to see you again." "We both know that that's not true Yami. You love me and you can't help that." "No I don't, I love someone else." "Then why are you having this ball?" "Because my advisers set it up as a surprise." "Well anyway, how's Galatea?" "It's Phera, I changed my daughter's back when I kicked you out." The ball was long and at the end I still had no bride but Tea.

"Why don't you leave, like all the others?" She gave me her flirtatious eyes and came closer to me. "I was wondering if, I can spend a night here with you?" I grimaced. "Don't you have to go home?" "No, I told my father that I'd be here with you, and you know my father." "I don't care if I know your father, your not staying!" I gave her the death glare, then she started to beg. "Please~, I'll be good." She fluttered her eyes, which gave me the chills. 'I'm too tired for this nonsense. I'll just let her stay in a room far from mine.' "Fine, guard." A guard came up to me. "Yes, my lord." "Show her to her room..." He was about to leave, when I whispered. "Far away from my room." He nodded.

I went towards my room, I decide to check up on Phera and Kira. Phera was asleep, I tucked her in and gave her a kiss good-night. Afterwards I was infront was Kira's room. I saw light coming from the room. I could hear Tea complaining how she wanted to sleep with me. 'Whore.' I went in quietly, she was laying on her bed facing the ceiling. "Aren't you sleepy?" She was startled I could tell and she was shivering. I went up to her with my cape in my hands and I wrapped it around her. She blushed I could tell. "Why aren't you asleep yet Kira? It's not good to stay up late." "I don't care." My arms were wrapped around her. "How was the ball?" I let out a heavy sigh. "Really, really bad." "Why?" "Tea came back." "Oh." She didn't sound so happy. I sat a little closer to her to comfort her. "She wanted to stay here for the night." "Did you let her?" "Yes, I put her..." "Your room." I looked at her angerly. "Kira how could you say that?" "Don't you love her still?" "No." I thought for a moment, then I saw it, 'I never knew that Kira would be the jealous type.' "Kira, I never thought that you'd be jealous."

Her face swiftly turned to my direction, her expreession was anger. "What is there to be jealous of, Yami?" I smirked. "I was never jealous Yami and I'm not jealous now." "Then why did you suspect that I'd put Tea in my room. The only person I would put in my room would be y..." I stopped before I finished that sentence. "I thought you'd want her back, like the time when we....you know." She blushed. She turned her face down. There was a moment of silence. "Ummm, Kira, you still didn't answer my question." "What question?" "Why are you still up?"

<Kira's POV>

'Should I tell him?' "Kira, it's just a simple question." "I know, but there's a..." I hung my head. Then I felt fingers underneath my chin, it was Yami. He turned my head so we would be face to face. We were so close I feel his breathing brush across my face. We were eye to eye. I was too scared to tell him. I could feel tears forming in my eyes, my vision became blurred by the tears and they dropped. A chill ran down my spine and I shivered. Yami's eyes softened. "Kira, what's wrong?" He said softly. He gently wiped my tears away and held me close. His strong arms wrapped around me and one of his hands, gently pushed my head to rest on his chest.

"What's wrong tell me? It's okay. Is this about Tea? Cause if it is...?" I shook my head. "Then what is it?" "It's...about...something...from...the past." "Something from the past?" I nodded and wipped my tears. I pulled away from him, but not too far. He still held my arms. "I've been having weird feeling that something is watching me, someone like FallenAngel, but it can't get to me because..." "I know." My eyes widened. "You do." "Don't worry, I will protect you, whatever the cost." "So it was you." "Yes, it was me, I tried my best, so you won't notice, but I guess she's using something to make you..." "She's using the dark to scare me." I looked at him straight in the eye.

<Yami's POV>

"That's why you had the candle on, because..." She nodded. "I've always been scared of the dark. Ever since I was a little girl. Everything around me would threaten me or make predictions on how I would die or just make me like I'm worthless and a lot of other things that would just make me scared or feel like I wasn't suppose to be born, feel like I was a mistake." "No your not, you shouldn't listen to all the taunting. I mean I don't think your a mistake, no, I know your not a mistake." She smiled, but forced. "Thank you for trying to make me feel better, I really appreciate it." She looked at the time. "You should really get some rest, I'm very sorry I took up your time." 'What is she talking about? I'm fine as I'm next to you my love.... Where did that come from???'

There was silence, we just sat and stared into eachother's eye. "Did I ever tell you how beautiful you look?" I helded her hands. She blushed a shade of pink across her cheeks. Then she asked me, "Did I ever tell you how comforting and warming your hugs are..." That made me blushed. "Or, how I..." This time she was more serious and was struggling with words. "How I....still...love you." My eyes widened. "Or how grateful I was when I had Phera?" Without hesitation I pressed my lips on her and kissed her passionately.

After a few minutes, we broke our kiss for air. I continuously repeated, 'I love you and I always have.' I laid her on her bed and after an hour or 3 our clothes were scattered around the bed and Kira laid on my chest. "This reminds me of that night, doesn't Yami?" "Yes, but it's going to have a different ending." I kissed her one last time. "I'm sorry you didn't get any sleep because of me and it's morning." "I'm sorry too." "Why?" "Because of me your going to go through pregnancy again." "Oh, don't be sorry about that, I've been through already it so don't worry too much."

There was a knock on the door and I looked towards the door, "Hey Yami are you in there? It's me Tea." I looked at Kira, she stared at me, then turned her head to the opposite direction. "Go, I know you want too." "I'm sorry."
