Snippet #1991677

It angered May, that look on his face as he listened to the music. That expression was one that she'd wanted to see for so long but he'd never show her. Jealously nipped at her being. She wanted him to listen to her like he was listening now. Why couldn't he just be hers? Well, soon he would be. Whatever he had seen in Skylar Viello was about to be crushed before his eyes all thanks to Kengi. As much as she hated that guy, he was useful whenever she needed his assistance.

For the first time that evening Piper appeared, floating just beside her bearer's head. "Good afternoon," she smiled, voice quiet.

May didn't reply. She frowned, glancing down at the hand that was holding Akuryo's. Why had his grip tightened? It was around that point in time that she noticed his line of sight - the piano where Kengi and that she-devil were standing. Her frown twisted into a childish smirk. Her free hand crossed to hold lightly onto Akuryo's arm and she walked closer to him.

"Well lookie there~" she chirped. "Kengi made a friend. Come to think of it, she goes to your school, doesn't she?"

Rue's heart felt as if it was about to explode into a thousand pieces. Another music lover! And a character at that! She smiled gleefully, eyes bright and hands tingling. "Skylar loves music too," she sighed in satisfaction. "It's great that her family has the money to pay for her dream." The character seemed absolutely mesmerized with him, even to the point that she didn't realize what was going on down below.

But there was a character who realized that something was up and that was Jinx. She left Vin at one of the nearby shops and flew over to the piano.

"Aw common, Sky, loosen up," Kengi whined.

"I don't even know you," Skylar argued back. "Where the hell are my guards?" She looked wildly around but realized that her guards were no-where to be seen. What? Hadn't her father told them to keep close? When her gaze flickered back to Kengi she automatically knew what had happened to the guards. "You bastard," she hissed.

"Sky!" came Jinx's voice.

In an instant she had character changed. She gave Kengi a rough push back and hurried out of the roped area. Thanks to Jinx, people avoided her almost completely, not really noticing her all that much. She was busy hurrying through the crowd when she realized that there was a familiar face in the crowd. Akuryo. Skylar stopped a couple of feet in front of him. And he was with another familiar face, but she couldn't put a name to a face. "What the hell is going on?" she muttered. Was he here to fight her as well?

"Oh Skylar~!"

"Damn." The redhead ducked out of the arms of Kengi and ran straight at Akuryo, racing straight though him and the girl. There was a moment of resistence - her mind quickly inspected that they'd been holding hands - before she continued onwards.
