Akihiko's P.O.V

The lady that was at the top of the steps was being bullied by a group of noble woman. I knew they were rude and snobby but now like this. No one at the ballroom were looking, only just conversation going in their own worlds.

Suddenly I saw them handing their ginormous fur coats to her, making her loose balance and fall. I rushed to the rescue and opened my arms for her to fall into. Her eyelids were squinted shut as she was still in her own little ball, bracing herself.

A second later, she opened her eyes and blinked at me like she was breathless from the fall that almost took her.

"Are you alright? That would've been a nasty fall if you got hurt."

The lady scanning my face as if she was trying to remember something, then a minute later her face seemed normal and she calmed down.

"I'm alright" escaped from her mouth like a mumble

She looked around herself and spotted the position she was in. She squirmed out of my grasp and gave a nervous laugh.

"A-anyways, thanks for catching me. I o-owe you one." And like a lightning bolt she was gone in a flash, into the crowd, just like how she appeared. I looked behind myself and saw the group of women on the stairs throwing daggers at the woman that went away. Then they looked at me and gave flirtatious looks as if I would look at them better after what they did.

I looked back into the crowd, wondering if I've ever seen her before.

'Mysterious but familiar looking.'

                 Misaki's P.O.V

I was embarrassed to the brim. I can't believe that person had caught me in the brink of that I was almost gonna be in a world filled with pain and humiliation if I actually hit the ground. But on the bright side, I was pretty grateful for the caring he showed me. I'll have to find him later to probably talk to him.

Not too soon my thoughts were interrupted as I bumped into someone. "I'm sorry I didn't see where I was going."

Good thing I still have my mask on, I couldn't be more embarrassed than usual.

The person turned around and I saw his face and gasped "It's fine, it is hard to concentrate when there are so many people on the dance floor." That someone was Shinobu.

"Hey, I'm glad I finally found you." I was really relieved to find him. I then hugged him, but never got a hug back. "Shinobu?"

"Do I know you?" He asked tilting his head with his eyes furrowed even with his face paint on.

I realized he doesn't recognize me with the new clothing, so I take the mask and tilted it to the right, making it only show half of my face.

"It's me! Misaki!" I shouted to him.

His eyes widened and his mouth formed a circled "O".

"Wow...you look...different! What happened to the dress that my sister made for you?" He asked

I shrugged my shoulders, scratched the back of my neck, and nervously giggled.

"It's a long story, I'll tell you later, anyway were's Miyagi and Risako. I wanna see them." I said changing the subject

"Finding my sister is as good as your guess as mine, haven't even seen her as I stepped in and had been here. However, Miyagi was gonna get punch. He's over there, right by the food table." I look to where Shinobu was pointing and saw him standing right there. I nodded to him."I'm gonna go say hi." I replied, Shinobu grabbed my hand and walked with me"We'll go together, that old man has been taking forever just to get drinks."

We both walked the same, arms linked when we weaved ourselves through the other people around us. However, I felt as if imaginary daggers were being thrown at the back of my head. As if a person is plotting revenge against me.

"Miyagi!" Shouted Shinobu, knocking me out of my thoughts "It shouldn't take this long, what were you doing?" My friend let me go, so that he could continue his pointless argument with his lover.

'I'm just gonna...go away and find them later when they aren't having an argument.'

I backed away slowly and as I was gonna turn around, I pumped into a being and fell. The bad thing about it was that something wet and sticky fell on my dress. I looked up to find the girls again, only this time they "accidentally" poured chocolate sause on me.

"Oops. My bad." The lady said with a easily known sly smile "I guess I don't know how to control my own actions. So clumsy of me."

I felt Shinobu and Miyagi pulling me up and the room was silent and everyone's eyes were on me. Shinobu stared dead at me "Are you okay?" He asked

I gave a soft smile and nodded "Excuse me" I pushed him away and scurried to an unknown room as I heard the buckets of laughter from behind me. I shut the door behind me and sighed. I looked at the mirror in front of me and sighed. Nearly the majority of my dress was covered in the chocolaty goodness. I would have to cut it off to make it look normal.

I shook my head and smeared 2 fingers in the chocolate and licked it off sadly.

'Wait a minute' I thought "Maybe I can just cut it off."

My mind went off like a lightbulb as I got a new idea for a dress design. I walked behind a long curtain and closed it. I magically made a pair of scissors come into my hand from home and started to cut to where the chocolate had stopped.

I heard a shimmering noise, it should be Aikawa-san again.

"Misaki, it's me your fairy godmother. I was wondering if you were all right since I saw everything that happened."

I gave a "mmhmm".

"I'm okay, I'm just doing something right now. Don't come behind the curtain."

I was almost done with my corrections and I didn't want her to see me naked AGAIN.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A few moments later I was done and also I added a couple of stuff myself. I walked to the curtain and pulled it to the side.

"How do I look?" I asked Aikawa

She looked me up and down with amazement. This time the dress was shortened to a black layered dress that was up to my knees. The sleeves were cut off and so was the neckline so it only surrounded my chest and under my armpits. I brought my long black gloves that went under my armpits and had black boots that went to my knees. The mask and the face paint were the same since I liked it in the first place.

She gave me a thumbs up and a smile."I like the way you think Takahashi. Now I hope you have a good time the rest of the night and dance with someone."

But before I could catch her, she went away in a flash.

"Tsk. That's getting really annoying that every time I wanna talk to her, she just disappears. Welp, I better go out there."

I opened the door and as always I got a pair of eyes staring at me. A familiar set of royal violet staring at me, just like when I came in.

"Would you care to dance with me?"

(A/N: Squaaaa!!! Sorry for the late chapter. My parents wanted to go to a carnival In Detroit but we wasted our time since it was too late then when we got back home we had to go today and we did. Also we we watched Now You See Me 2 at a theater. Anyway here is the chapter and be expected to have more of this story in the future.
