What Goes Up Must Come Down

Take A Piece

Azami's POV

It was finally here, the dance we put together in a matter of two days. It's crazy what we can do when we put our minds to it. Looking around I see everyone chatting as we wait for the music to start playing. I saw Kuma with Kenjirou, and Shasi with Yutaka, and Nozomi with Kogen. While some of the pairing were obvious there were other at surprised me a bit.

'Mizuko came with Hideo, when did they become a thing? Are they a thing?' I begin to speak in my head as I notice how all the girls look in their dresses. The guys wore typical black slacks and jackets with white button down shirts. Then they each had the same color tie as their dates dress. 

I look over at Mizuko again to see her in a burgundy dress. The top was a halter top that got hit with a blitz gun, the the skirt was simple satin. It rested above the knee. Her hair was pulled into a loose pony tail, it was curled and went really well with her horns.

After a few minutes Calvin and Shizuka walk in with a wagon what was decked out to be a DJ stand. They offered to be in charge of music and soon made good on their promise. Music started to play as couples spilled out onto the floor dancing.  Luckily they would play some pop music so that it wasn't all just couple dances. When I look at the two guys I remember that Shizuka is the only guy not wearing what the other were. He had on a feminine white suit. It looked really good on him too. 

Out of the corner of my eye I saw my brother talking with some of his friends. After watching him for a few minutes he finally makes eye contact with me. Taking a deep breath in I start to walk over. Akio says something to his friends and they walk away. Once I am standing in front of him I hug him quickly and tightly. It doesn't take him long for his arms to wrap around me pulling me as close as he can. His head rests against mine. This is how we talked things through, we both knew things were going to get better. It was like a secret language or feeling we had.

Once I pull away I begin to chat with him about the party. We decided to stay away from the topic of the villains for now. Soon I was pulled away from my brother by Tora and Kuma. "Guys!" I laughed being pulled by them. We were heading toward the big group in the middle to dance. Tora had on a dress that had smooth red skirt and silver halter top, that had sequences all over it. Kuma's also had a lot of sparkles on her dress. It was a very light pink, almost white, color.  They pulled me along and once we made it they let go and we began to dance. Slowly a smile formed on my lips as I began to dance with my class mates.

Kirishima's POV

The car went forward following the directions given to us by the spy on the inside. I had a smirk on my face as I adjusted my black tie. We decided to pick and choose who we wanted to come. We knew we didn't want to bring everyone one but we wanted to bring enough so we could really give them a fright. Noa was driving with Shinhon in the front seat. She had on a white dress with beach waves in her hair. At least that is what she told me she was doing with her hair. I could care less.

I was sitting behind the drivers seat with Urenna beside me. On the other side of her sat Eriko the male Botan twin. Behind him sat his sister Elara Botan. The last two seat were filled by Kaminari and Jirou. I had a feeling tonight would go exactly as planned, we would get Amachi back along with Azami. They were our two main goals, whatever happens we would not leave with out them. The added bonuses would be whoever we took along with them. Tonight we would not only take a piece of them but a piece of their hope as well.

We pulled up to the area where Amachi told us to be. "Remember to put your masks on. It is a masquerade party after all." They all let out some kind of giggle while my own chuckle rung through my ears. As we waited we were all making sure our masks fit. Amachi was going to come and open up the back door to have us sneak in. Once she came she lead us through a tunnel that had a small crystal wall up. On the side there was a curtain with a hidden door. She gave a special knock and it opened. "Nice touch Amachi." I said being the first to walk through.
