The Fate That Binds The Will(Yu-Gi-Oh! AU Story)

Chapter 8

Shun: Kotori. Ruri. Once you enter, you have to be careful.

Kotori: It's alright. Don't worry about us. Right, Ruri?

Ruri: Yes sis.

Father: We have arrived. Let's get in.

The whole family left their carriage and went in. The ballroom was decorated nicely.

Kotori: This is beautiful.

Ruri: I agree.

Both sisters were really happy. Yuma was standing at the throne with his younger brother Yuto.

Yuto: So people did came.

Yuma: Why are you surprised?

Yuto: I don't know, to be honest.

Yuma: Well, it's your birthday, so enjoy.

Yuto: I will.

After the room became full, Yuma rose up.

Yuma: I thank everyone that accepted our invitation to take part in this ball. It is organized for my brother's birthday, which of course, is a special day. You may enjoy yourselves.

Ruri's gaze was fixated at prince Yuto. He was serious, but there was something about him that made her heart flutter. He also noticed the purple haired girl. One thing that stood out were her eyes. They were a beautiful pink. Very shortly, he found himself walking to her.

Ruri: Oh, my prince.

She bowed to him politely.

Yuto: May I have this dance?

Ruri: Yes.

She smiled at him, which caused him to blush. He brushed it off and they started dancing.

Yuto: What is your name?

Ruri: Ruri.

Yuto: Ruri... The bakery's youngest daughter?

Ruri: Ah, yes.

Yuto: My brother's right hand told me.

She looked away shyly.

Yuto: You plan to become a baker too?

Ruri: I don't know. I haven't thought of that yet. But I like it there. What about you, prince? What do you like to do?

Yuto: Blacksmith.

Ruri: Really? That's amazing.

Yuto: I'm glad you think that way. I liked it since I was little.

Ruri: Nice.

Suddenly, Yuto felt a slight burning on his right arm.

Yuto: I'm sorry Ruri, I have to go.

Ruri: Alright.

He got her away from the dancefloor and left to go to his room. Yuto rolled up his right sleeve and saw the birthmark had a strong glow.

Yuto: It reacted to something. Maybe I should go back and check.

He returned and saw Ruri was in the same place he left her.

Yuto: Sorry for leaving like that.

Ruri: It's alright.

Their fingers intertwined with each other.

Yuto: How about we go away from the crowd to somewhere less noisy?

Ruri: Good idea.

They sat on a bench close to the fountain in the garden.
