"i would like that alot kira" she said and smiled brightly at him

"your sweet" she said and felt herself blush a little. "is something wrong?" she asked when he looked away a little confused

Shinu's heart nearly jumped out of his chest. He was such a sucker for romance. Kira wasn't exactly asking Kairi to be his girl, but he was quite the gentlemen for his offer. He earned a lot of respect at that very moment from Shinu. Shinu was already quite the fan of Kairi, he loved her upbeat personality.

That's a great idea! And you were part of the mission! You saved almost all of us with your great healing power!

Kira was shocked when Kairi said that she would like to walk in with him to the ball. He turned back around with a smile on his face, but completly turned red when she called him sweet.

Oh nothings wrong, i just tend to get really shy at times like this hehe

Kira rubbed the back of his neck for the second time in ten seconds. He lifted up his rght arm and offered it to Kairi and turned towards the ballroom.

So shall we go in?

Raven looked over at Kairi and his eyes widened a little. She did look really nice in that dress. He then shook it off though

"Hello Kairi," he said in response

He then sat down and waited for Nia. He Zoned out what the others were saying and just closed his eyes.

kairi blushed at Shinu and his flattering "ahhh i tired to help you" she laughed brightly "i am still learning. its rather difficult for me still..." she said and fiddled with a piece of her dress

"but sensei says ive been improving steadily since i got here. its all thanks to this great school" she smiled brightly

"alright" she said and smiled blushing as she wrapped her arm around his

Shinu took a seat next to Raven again and waved over at Kairi and Kira.

Have fun you two! Save us a seat at the table!

Again he turned his attention to the entrance. He couldn't wait to see Nioelle, his heart was pounding now.

Kira walked off waving to Raven and Shinu, with Kairi wrapped to his arm. He took his time as he walked. He didn't know what kind of reception he would get has he was one of the people who took part in the first mission. He looked to Kairi. "God she looks beautiful tonight." He swung open the doors to the ballroom and entered, only to be littered with red and orange confetti. Some of it got in his hair, so he tried getting them out by shaking his head. He made himself look like a right idiot and he started to blush again.

Looking up he noticed a banner saying "Congratulations on a mission completed!" and the entire ball room looked like the inside of a volcano. The tables where covered in red silk coverings and the candles where red and orange, placed on a tri fork holder. He guessed since the mission was to tame Ifrit the celebration would take the theme of their mission. Kira looked to Kairi and said "So where do you want to sit? Or do you want to dance first?" Blushing again ever so slightly.

Nia looked at herself in the mirror for the last time before she walked out her room, she was nervous like always before a ball. It wasn't her first time when she was on a ball, her family was well known and ritch so they were on many different ones, but still, it made her nervous. It was first time that she had a date for it that her parents didn't choose for her. While thinking about all that she fixed her sdress and checked if her shoes were looking good. Then she just fixed her tiara and smiled. Her hair was tied up showing her neck and shoulders.

Knowing that she was already late and not wanting Raven to wait longer for her she left her room holding her dress up a bit so she wouldn't stumble as she was walking down the stairs. No long after she saw Raven, Shinu, Kira and Kairi in the main lobby. She was glad that they didn't enter yet, she would feel really bad having to go in on her own especially that she didn't take part in the mission. Nia walked up to them and bowed slightly still smiling brightly.

"Good Evening"

kairi blinked pressing close to him in suprise when the confetti exploded and she blinked and smiled at him leaning up and pulling a strand of it out of his hair and laughed slightly

she smiled and felt much more relaxed all of the sudden and looked up at him

"it doesnt matter to me. im just excited for being here" she said and pulled a sting of confetti out of her own hair laughing at it brightly
