A Mobster's Fairytale

The Auction

Later that same night, I am sitting on my bed, reading a wedding magazine. ///yes, a wedding magazine, get over it/// When my bedroom door opens, and in comes Eisuke. 

Eisuke walks over to my closet and takes out the dress Ota gave me earlier. He then tosses it to me. "Put it on, and try to look descent."

"Come on in, Eisuke. The door's open." I mock him, while sitting up on the bed. 

"Tsk, whatever. Just hurry up and get dressed." And with that, Eisuke leaves the room, closing the door behind him. (Why did I ever like Eisuke again? Oh yeah, I remember now. He's one of those friends I have a love hate relationship with). 

After I finish changing, I pull back half my hair with a pastel blue flower, and curl the rest of my hair, excluding my bangs. I then put on a light layer of make-up and start walking down the stairs. When I get to the bottom of the stairs, I trip on my dress and fall forwards, into Soryu's strong arms. 

"She has a fiance, Soryu." I hear Eisuke say, with a slight laugh. 

"SHUT UP, EISUKE!!!" Soryu and I both yell. 

"HAHAHA!!!!! You two are so cute!" Ota laughs.

Soryu and I both glare at him, and Ota suddenly looks scared. I stand up and take a step away from Soryu. Baba walks up to me, smiling, and hands me a black lace mask. 

"What's this for?" I ask.

"We all must wear masks after the IVC. Don't worry, Sor will tell you when to put it on. Right Sor?" 

"..." Soryu looks away from me, and I notice that he is slightly embarrassed. 

"Hehe..." I let out a small laugh. 

"What are you laughing at?" Soryu asks me with a cold expression on his face.

"Nothing~" I smile up at him, and my cheeks blush lightly.

"How do you not stutter when Soryu glares at you like that?!" Baba asks.

"He wasn't glaring at me." I answer. "He's just embarrassed~ hehe." 

"I-*sigh* let's just go." Soryu gently takes my hand and we all walk into the elevator. All of us including, Mamoru, Baba, Ota, Soryu, Eisuke, and I. 

We all enter the IVC and I see multiple famous people scattered all over the room. "Wait! Is that Taylor Swift!?!" I asks Soryu, somewhat excited. 

"No..." Soryu answers, as the girl I thought was Taylor looks back at me, with an amused expression on her face.

"Oh... Oops. Sorry person I don't know!" I call out to her, and I see her laugh lightly. My cheeks blush and I see Soryu look over at someone in a weird outfit. 

"I'll be right back, don't go too far." Soryu says looking down at me.

"Alright." I answer, as I watch Soryu walk towards the strangely dressed man with Eisuke by his side. All three of them start talking and I walk towards a nearby table with glasses of water. I pick up a glass of water and take a sip from it. *cough cough* (So that's what Vodka taste like. Wait, shit... I was going to take my first drink of alcohol with Yakov.) I look around for Soryu, but I see a stocky guy come over. 

"A pretty little girl that likes to drink. Hmmm, just my type." The guy leans in close to me and takes my hand in his. "How about you come to my room with me. I promise you won't grow bored." He smiles up at me and I take a step back, retracting my hand away from his. 

"Sorry, but I have a fiance." I answer.

"Is he here, little lady?" He asks.

"Um... no, but I'm not supposed to talk to strangers anyways, so sorry." I take another step away from him, and feel my waist against the table. 

"Well, my name is Mister Nouveau Riche. I'm not a stranger now, so what's your name missy?" He leans in closer to me and I forcefully push him away with my arm. 

"That's none of your concern." I answer.

"How dare you touch me like that?! Do you know who I am?" I step towards him, and stand up straight, I end up being a couple inches taller than him. 

I look down at him with soft eyes. "I do know who you are. Do you know who I am?" My eyes suddenly narrow. "I am the Princess of Alteria, and captain of martial arts." I take another step towards him, and he steps away from me. "Now, unless you want both of your arms to be broken by a 'little lady', I suggest you turn around and never enter my sight again!" 

He takes a step away from me, and I notice that he is frustrated. I then feel someone's arm around my waist. I take their arm in my hand and flip them over my shoulder. "This is what will happen to you if you don't leave, now!" I yell at the stocky man, as I see him turn around and leave. I look down at the man I flipped over and see Soryu laying on his back, glaring up at me. "Sorry Soryu!" 

I help him stand up, and see him smile down at me. "Is that really how strong you are?"

"No, you were just an example." I answer.

"What did he do?" Soryu asks.

"He was hitting on me, and I grew annoyed." I answer, and look to my left to find a scared Baba.

Baba quickly runs up to me and nervously laughs. "You won't kill me if I hit on you, right?"

"No, but you shouldn't flirt with me, I have a fiance, Baba." 

"R-right! Ha ha ha!" He nervously answers.

"Okay, Baba..." I turn to face Soryu and I smile.

About ten minutes later, I start to walk towards the door to leave, but Soryu takes my arm, and lightly pulls me towards a staircase. "Where are we going, Soryu?"

"To the auction..." He answers without looking down at me.

"The what?"

"Put on your mask." Soryu's expression is truly cold. 

"Alright..." I put on my mask, and walk into the suite seats of a large theater. I sit down next to Soryu and the guys fill up the seats next to us, all of them wearing masks. A look towards the stage, and I see the strangely dressed man from before enter the stage. 

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party! We will soon start the first bid once all of the guest arrive in their seats.
