Tenma's Pov:

I looked at my cuckoo clock, it was 11 p.m. and everyone was asleep by now, I waited for a signal from my best friend meanwhile I was checking if my disguise was all set up correctly.

I didn't have to wait long when I heard my name being called out of the castle.
I looked down at my window and I saw Kyousuke also disguised with a big ladder in his hands placing it under my window.

Kyou: Ok it should be ok, be quick!

He said yelling-whispering to me, without losing anymore time I went down the stairs, trying to be as careful as I could.

I was almost there when I missed one of the last stairs, making me almost fall.

Fortunately Kyousuke was able to catch me (bride style) before I could get close to the ground.

We looked into each other's eyes for a bit, but we immediately came out to our senses.

T: Thank you kyou

I said looking at him, while he was laying me down.

Kyou: No problem but, be careful next time.

We didn't loose any time and we headed fastly to the village.
At first I thought that it would have been completely dark, with just some lanterns lighted up, but instead, I found the all village having a party.

We could hear the music even if we were still far from it, and when we finally arrived, we could see all the people dancing and having fun, it was amazing!

T: *whispering* Wow! Look at this! Look at what I was missing!

Kyou: *whispering* Yeah I know, but be quiet, I don't want you to get in danger, or I-

T: *whispering* Wait- you brought your sword with you?! Why would you do that?

Kyou: *whispering* Of course, my dad always says "a soldier never goes around unarmed".

T: *whispering* Ok ok, but don't hurt anyone alright??

Kyou: *whispering* I'll try, but no promises!

I looked at him, bothered about his answer, but I knew that I couldn't convince him, so I had to accept his response.

We walked among the crowd and carefully looked in any corner so that we couldn't have any "surprise". When we reached the center of the square, we could see some musicians playing instruments and other people dancing, but not the dancing that I'm used to it, it wasn't precise, or gentle, or composed.

It was... free..

I don't know how to explain it but, I wanted to try it.

T: Hey, Kyou, can I.. go dance with them? *looks at him*

Kyou: Well.. if you want to, but be careful, we don't know who these people are, they can hurt you.

T: Would you PLEASE relax for once and stop being so protective, I appreciate that you want to keep me safe but you can't be aware for all your life, or you will never have fun!

Kyou: Ughhh ok.

Narrator's Pov:

The two young adults were now on the "dance floor", dancing. Tenma felt free, he was dancing freely without anyone telling him to compose himself or stop being childish, he was finally being himself.

XXX: What a nice moves you got there young boy.

Someone said at Tenma's back, and even tho the person didn't mean any harm, Kyousuke was still on guard.
