~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~
“You realize that means I have to go too right.” I said. My dad who was drunk glared at my as he got up and he punched be in the ribs. He preceded to beat me for the next hour. He was so lucky I can’t fight back or he would be dead. I dragged myself upstairs to get out my first aid kit and decided to use my abilities to heal up leaving just the sprain and the burn I had before. I fell asleep planning on healing the burn and sprain tomorrow.
~~~~~~~
I woke on the morning of the ball with many bruises from me ‘family’. they really didn’t want me to go. I knew that my ‘mother’ had already locked my door during the night to prevent me from going. I thought a lot through the week about the unmasking. I already knew I was going as Silver but… do I stay for the unmasking? I knew I needed to tell him and this was the perfect opportunity. ‘I suppose I’ll have to just decide when I am there. Sango and Inuyasha and Miroku are going to break me out at 2 pm and the ball starts at 6 ending at 1 in the morning.
I sat there on my bed listening to my step sister squealing and giggling about how the prince simply had to choose them after seeing them all dressed up. I snorted. As if Hiei would care. I finally accepted that I have fallen for Hiei and I knew he liked Silver…but what about me, all of me, both Silver and Kagome. I sighed heavily even as my sharp ears took in the soft thump of a ladder hitting just below my window. Sango and the others were here. I got up and opened my window. Neither of us talked till we got to Miroku’s car.
“you okay?” Sango finally asked when we had set out in the car. She was referring to that I still had a few unhealed bruises
“Yeah I’m fine. I’m pretty used to it.” I replied. I concentrated more healing the rest of the bruises and cuts. Until finally by the time we reached Sango’s they were all gone. I got out with Sango and we went to her room saying hi to Kohaku on the way. We had bought ballroom gowns the day after the announcement and Sango once more took them. As we finally finished dressing it was 5:20 and the guys had been waiting for 10 and getting highly impatient. When we went down like last time mouths dropped. I was once more Silver with the same mask as last time but I was wearing a black dress that was tight at the torso and flared out at the waist to my ankles which were softly wrapped in silver colored high heeled sandals showing the pale skin of my feet. My skin was devoid of makeup save for a deep blood red colored lipstick that was lightly applied my hair which seemed glossier was down spiraling down my back in a waterfall of black and silver tresses. My eyes silver and blue eyes were encased in my mask and my dress had a silver blue see-through gossamer hanging around off the waist opened in the front to better show the skirt underneath. The sleeves were long but tight encasing my arms in the silky smooth material of the dress straight up to the wrists.
Kikyo who had already arrived was also wearing a similar dress in a light green with dark green gossamer with the same mask as last time and green eye shadow and a medium red lipstick with light blush on her cheeks as well. Her hair was half up and half down.
Sango was wearing her hair down as well with ruby highlights and was in a ballroom dress exactly like mine in deep almost black red with the gossamer being a black color to better show the dresses red color. She was wearing a black mask with red sparkles and her face had a light dusting of blush with a light red colored lipstick. Needless to say we looked dame good. The boys just decided to wear a tuxedo with white masks.
Miroku was the first to recover and adorned a lecherous grin. “Seem you three are once again going to be the belle of the ball.” Sango blushed but me well…
“Wipe that dammed gin of your face letcher. don’t forget what I told you the day we met.” I growled.
#flashback#
“Fair maiden.” miroku said taking my hand. I looked at him annoyed he was touching me. “Would you bear my child?”
“No” I said. “And if you ever ask that to anyone or do anything perverted near me I will do worse to you than I did to the last buffoon whom dared touch me without permission.” I then punched him in the stomach then kneed him in the balls. He passed out.
#End flashback#
Miroku paled and shuddered at the memory. We quickly got in Miroku’s car once more and left for the palace. The palace was gorgeous with its spiraling ivory towers and stained glass windows it was quite a sight. We got out of the car handing the keys to the valet and went up the 20 some steps and along the halls as directed to the ornate doors to the ballroom. As we walked through many in the room including what could only be Hiei in a white shirt and black slacks the shirt had the royal symbol on it which was a black flame inside a ball of blue ice. It looked good but obviously he was uncomfortable in it. When he saw me he smiled and walked up through the crowd of dancers many of whom including my steps stopped to see what he was doing or to let him through. Sango and the others gave me a quick good bye as he approached and left for the dance floor. Sango sending me a knowing smile. I scowled at her. I hate that smile. I turned to Hiei whom paused for a moment seeing my scowl but presses back on shaking his head. I knew he now had a slight idea of who I was but was dismissing it as impossible. I couldn’t say if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
“Silver, it is good to see you again.” Hiei said his tone a little less cold than normal as he inclined his head at me. I gave him a smile and once more I saw him freezing thoughtfully for a moment.
“Figured out who I am yet? I assure you I’ve give you plenty of clues. Both as I am now and as who I really am.” I said my smile morphing into a smirk. He shook his head slowly.
“No but I’m starting to fell like I’m being incredibly dense.” he said in quietly so no one else would hear. He scowled a little but then relaxed. “will you allow me this dance?” he said clearly offering his hand.
“I suppose” I said somewhat playfully which was highly unlike me but I was in a relaxed mood tonight. We danced for a while but he would look up at the door each time it opened and frowned when it wasn’t who he was looking for. At one point the grimaced and when I asked why he did he told me that Azuki Moon just walked in and that he despised her. But that wasn’t who he was looking for though he quite clearly avoided her as he still kept looking up each time the door opened. I frowned, who was he looking for. I felt my hart drop . As we stopped for a while to get refreshments I decided to ask.
“who are you waiting for?” I asked softly after he handed me my drink. He froze and swore.
“I… well you see I… I barley know you and I kind of fell for this girl I know… her names Kagome and she hasn’t shown up yet.” he said acting rather out of character as he had all night. I blinked. ‘wait a tick did he just say…’
“Wait Kagome… Kagome Higurashi?” I asked shocked. He nodded and I smirked. He looked a little shocked. “well if its Kagome then I really couldn’t care less. Why haven’t you told her though? Also why go through the ball when you already have someone you like?” he breathed a sigh of relief.
“well while I l…love Kagome I like you a lot as well and I felt like I needed to see you one last time before I told her and well I have no idea how to tell her. I’m not exactly experienced in this sort of thing.” I smiled which caused him once more to stop and look at me thoughtfully once again. ‘you just did stupid’ I thought amused.
“Oh, im sure you’ll figure it out and ask tonight and you may as well stop looking. Shes already here.” I said in a knowing way. ‘So this is why Sango uses that dammed smile, it feels really good’ I thought vaguely amused. This year has done a lot towards opening both of us up. Hiei scowled.
“your using that same smile Seshomaru has been sporting all week.” Hiei said grouchy. I laughed and Hiei looked at me suspiciously.
“You have a friend doing that to you too then” I said smoothly. He scowled more. I sipped my drink slowly.
The night was passing quickly and all to soon it was midnight. I made my decision I would stay. Hiei dragged me off the dance floor once more. He looked nervous as the countdown commenced.
Ten
“Silver I think I know who you are know.” Hiei said unsteadily and somewhat embarrassed.
Nine
“is that so Hiei” I said my lips slowly smiling as I prayed he didn’t think something stupid like Kagura or something though he isn’t exactly an idiot so I doubt he would.
Eight
“yes it is so.” he said shakily.
Seven
“it all makes sense now.”
Six
Your eyes and hair,
Five
The picture and unpopularity,
Four
Hojo,
Three
You are…,
Two
Kagome”
One
I smiled
Zero ladies and gents take off your masks
My hands shakily go upward and I took my mask off and the world seemed to freeze as my face showed.
“You finally got it. What took you so long.” I said quietly waiting for the ‘why didn’t you tell me’ or ‘I never want to see you again’ or ‘traitor‘. Instead I feel a soft but callused finger under my chin forcing me to look into Hiei’s unmasked ruby eyes. And he pulled me forward into an embrace.
“why didn’t you just say so sooner” he said softly in my ear. “it would of saved me quiet the hassle.” the whole room had gone unnaturally quiet seeing their princes actions and unnoticed by the two a group of four fought their way forward to get a better look at the girl and when the did looks of rage passed their faces one by one as they knew who the mysterious dancer who caught the princes eye was.
“I guess I was scared,” I said quietly. “before coming to that school I didn’t have anyone. I didn’t know what having someone felt like.” Hiei frowned. Again unnoticed by the two, Kagome’s friends gleefully restrained her family and Hiei’s parents scowled at the four as guards carried them off while the screamed treats of revenge to their oblivious fifth family member. Then thy turned towards the two smiling and nodding.
“never again Kagome. Never again.” He said through gritted teeth. I rested my head against his shoulder as some music finally registered to our ears. “May I have this dance fair Kagome.” he said playfully
“But of course prince Hiei” I said using for the first time his title and we danced, slowly others in the room backing up and most unable not to smile. The two were just plain good together.
As the song slowed to an end and their life together began Hiei whispers softly
“I love you Kagome, forever.” as he leans down and catches Kagome’s lips gently in their first kiss and the rest of the world faded leaving nothing but the two young hearts but old souls in each other embrace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I may have gone a bit out of character here especially towards the end. Like I said there will be one maybe two more chapters depending on your votes on weather you want this last chapter to be also done from Hiei’s point of view tough again it may take a while to get it done. The very last chapter will of course be an epilogue
