"Bo?"

I undid the knot that held the mask to his face. I couldn't see his hair because it was dark. I gently removed his mask and saw him. The sight in front of me made me smile.

"Kenma." Even though I barely knew him, I pulled him into a hug. I could tell that he didn't know what to do. "Hug me back, silly." He wrapped his arms around me, and I melted into the hug. "How did you get in?"

"Bokuto got the invitation and made copies." That is something Bokuto would do.

"Is he here?"

"Yes."

"Where?"

"Still in the ballroom."

"Who were you talking to back there?"

"Guess."

"Kuroo?"

"No. It was Akaashi. We were planning your escape." I was shocked.

"Escape?"

"You can't marry Kita." I knew that.

"If Kita finds out that you guys are here, he's going to kill you guys."

"We got that figured out. Come on. You need to get back into the ballroom before someone gets suspicious. Just go with the flow." I was surprised that even came out of his mouth, but if Kenma and Akaashi have something to do with this then I am not worried. I walk back into the ballroom to be engulfed by a pair of arms.

"Asteria! Come dance with us!" I knew exactly who it was even if they did have a mask on. I flicked him in the forehead. "Ow. That hurt!"

"Let's go dance, Atsumu." I grabbed his hand, and I saw two boys following us.

"I got that on video." I looked over at Suna.

"He deserved that flick." Osamu and Suna both agreed which hurt Atsumu. "Come on, let's dance." We all held hands and started dancing in the center of the room. I was having fun until Kita butted in.

"I'm going to steal her for a minute." My happiness was soon gone when I felt him pulling me away. "Let's talk." He sat me down at a table. He sat in front of me, so my view of the ballroom was obstructed. "Go to your room and get ready for the wedding. There should be everything you need. You have two hours to get ready before I come and get you." I nodded and headed to my room. I can't believe I'm getting married today. The walk to my room was long and sad. I knew I was dragging my feet, but I couldn't help it. When I got to my room, I jumped on my bed and laid down. I just needed a tiny nap and then I will get ready.

A noise from my closet cut my nap short. I got up and tried to make the least amount of noise. In horror movies, the person doing this is usually the first to die. I'm going to die. I opened my closet door. It was dark, so I could barely see anything. Of course, the world wants me to die. I could feel a sneeze coming on. I did everything to make the sneeze go away, but nothing worked.

"AHH-CHOOO."

"Bless you!" I looked towards my left and saw a rather large figure. He covered my mouth and brought me out of my closet. His eyes. His hair. "Please, don't scream. I'm removing my hand." I nodded.

"Bo?" He took off his mask, and my assumption was correct. I jumped into his arms and wrapped my legs around him.

"Hey, Princess."

"I've missed you."

"Me too." I grabbed his face and kissed him. Everything about right now felt right. His kisses felt different from Kita's kisses. Kita's were cold and emotionless while Bokuto's were passionate and needy. "We need to go, now." He tried to pull me, but I wouldn't budge.

"Bokuto. I can't." He seemed upset.

"Why?"

"Kita said that he would kill you and everyone in that room if I do something stupid. Running away on my wedding day is stupid, Bokuto. I can't you or Akaashi or any of them die." He placed his hand on the side of my face.

"No one is going to die. I lost you once and I'm not doing to do it again. I'll be the first to admit that I am not the best with my emotions." I nodded. "You didn't have to affirm that." I let out a tiny giggle. "When I'm with you, I want to be better. Granted I did try to kill you, but I'm trying. I barely know you, so this is probably weird for you, but I want to get to know you. I can't do that if you are married. Please come with m-" I cut him off and kissed him.

"Okay." His eyes widened and the biggest smile appeared on his face.

"HEY! HE-" I covered his mouth.

"Bokuto, be quiet."

"Sorry. Let's go." This boy will be the death of me. We ran out of my room and down to the corridor.

"Bokuto, where is everyone else?"

"They all left. They should be behind the palace. We can exit through the fancy room that has tiny chairs and tea stuff."

"The tea room?" He rolled his eyes.

"Sure, but I didn't see any tea." I just ignored him. I was not arguing about tea with him. We had to take a long way around because of the event that was happening, my wedding. We ran downstairs and through hallways: I felt like I was a kid again. When we arrived at the tea room, all the memories started flowing back. They weren't good memories either. We were almost out. I could see the cars parked out there. I could see Kenma, Kuroo, Akaashi, and Oikawa.

"Again, I told you one wrong move, and Bokuto will die. Do you think I was lying? Do I look like someone who would lie?" Bokuto stood in front of me blocking my sight of Kita. "Bokuto. Still, taking stuff that isn't yours?" Bokuto reached behind him for the gun that was in his pants.

"HEY! HEY! HEY! KITA! I'm not fond of people who make beautiful girls do things. Sorry, if you lost the fight between Daichi and his clan, but that doesn't mean you have to come after her. She obviously doesn't want you, so back off." I peaked my head behind Bokuto and saw Kita grabbing his gun.

"WAIT!" I backed away from Bokuto and stood in between the two. I hate violence. Someone always gets hurt. "Can't we talk about this, please?" Both guys looked at each other.

"No," they both said simultaneously. This is stupid. Bokuto seems stronger than Kita. If this was a fistfight with no guns, then Bokuto is sure to win, right?

"What if you guys fight, but without guns or weapons? It will be solely based on strategy and strength. Whoever wins, I will go with."

"Fine," they both said.

"I need your guns. I don't trust either of you." They both handed me their guns, and I placed them across the room in a drawer. "Okay. You guys can start."

Bokuto was just using his pure strength while Kita was using his brain. It would go back and forth. Bokuto would hit him, then Kita would return the punch. In a blink of an eye, everything stopped. There was blood splattered on the carpet. I couldn't think straight. I felt someone carry me bridal style out of the tea room. I saw people running into the tea room to see what happened. Soon everything became dark.

I woke up to a towel on my forehead. I slowly got up, but every bone in my body hurt. I knew this room. I've slept in it a few times. Why can't I remember what happened? The bedroom door handle jiggled, and there he was. He walked in shirtless with parts of his body wrapped in gauze. I could tell he was hurt. He walked over to me and climbed into bed. His arms wrapped around my body and pulled me closer to him. I was confused. I thought he would be angry for what I did or at least upset? I looked at my hand and saw the ring still on my finger. I turned my body, so I was facing him. I was able to get a better look at his face. He had a bruise right under his eye and a busted lip. I brought my hand to his face, and he opened his eyes to look at me.

"Hey, beautiful."
