"Time had always been at a standstill. The clock which had ran out of sand was once more being filled to the brim. All of this is due to meeting you whether it is for the good or bad, I want to know if it's worth it."
Although, the words that Inoue's familiar spoke to him at that time. About not to say goodbye. Not to give up. Daitokuji was not just used to it. Khalid knew there was basis for that. There is truth to that. However, he believed it would be for the best. Because, it was the same thing he was doing for quite some time. The trick to it, one must endure at all cost. Even if everything else about you is crumbling, you must still smile. You must never falter before that person. Never. So, he was bit grateful that the white-haired girl did keep his distance from him. Because he had inkling that he might not manage to stay away from her for the second time around. But, he does miss the times she would notice and be annoyed over his bangs.
Unconsciously, he reached for those two intertwined forelocks of his. There was a small yet sad smile on his lips. Yes, he definitely misses those times. He slowly removed his hand from his fringe and then looked at the completed garden project which was the Rose Archway. It would be wonderful if Keilani was here with him. His sister liked such things especially since she liked roses very much. But, the letter he had sent never gained a reply. Perhaps, she was still mad at him or finally gave up on him. Somehow, he was relieved and a bit sad if that was the case. In the end, he knew that there would be a more wonderful person fitting for her. More than he could ever be.
Thinking about, he had sent Orpei to fetch him some of his tomato juice. He was feeling a bit parched and hungry at the same time. It had become a bit more frequent ever since that day. Perhaps, he was just too concern about his relationship with the two girls than he can comprehend. Where could he be? "Good day, Tamesis-kun!" However, his thoughts were interrupted when a group of senior students wholly females from the Day Class approached him. They called out to him and he greeted them with a polite smile which even made them more brave for the request they were about to ask of the Prince. "Good day to you all. Is there anything I can help you with?" The girls looked at each other first with obvious shyness and then they all took one deep breath. The continuation would be at the Halloween Party itself.
So, the time had finally arrived. In all honesty, he was rather regretting the very fact he had agreed to this. However, they were very insistent with tears and that was his main weakness. He really does not like seeing girls cry. In the end, he was not able to say no. Taking a deep breath, he slapped both of his cheeks to prepare himself for what was about to happen once he enters the ballroom. "Master, I know that you have bad luck with girls but..." Those clear blue eyes looked at his familiar who was hovering beside him with a very amused expression. As for Khalid, he was narrowed his eyes in displeasure. "This is because you took too long." Orpei looked away and pretended not to hear anything. Actually, he got sidetracked along the way. There was this delicious sweet-smelling and there was no reason to explain anymore.
Shaking his head in disappointment, Khalid knew there was no other way for him but to face the music. He entered the grand hall and was mesmerized by the setting and props. It was really hauntingly beautiful. The committee outdone themselves wonderfully. Looking around the crowd, he could feel a few eyes on his form. They were trying to determine who he was exactly. Well, he cannot blame them at all. Because, he was not certain how it came to be like this. It would have been better to have dressed as zombie or even a vampire which from the looks of it was done by most of the night class. There were witches, ghouls, princes, knights, characters from horror movies and everything else.
But, Khalid had to be this. He had to be a... "Tamesis-kun!" That was the clincher. One of the girls who had asked of him for this favor had finally found him. Everyone who was rather uncertain of who he was now earlier had great surprise now upon their faces. It was not only limited to the day class but also to the night class. They cannot believe it. Actually, they were wondering if she was a special guest related to Khalid or the infamous sister which no one had yet to seen and met personally except for Inoue. Who would have though? The Prince had become a Princess. He wore a beautiful black tube ballgown with detached sleeves, It had beautiful silver embroidery and blue lace at its hem. The gown fitted him perfectly. His sky blue hair had been attached with very long extensions fashioned into twin-tails. She was a vision of beauty.
People began to gather around him as he felt very embarrassed with his cross-dressing. Orpei was no help at the moment. The familiar simply remained perched on his shoulder. Anyway from the corner of his eyes, he spied the two prefects. Nightless was wearing a white kimono resembling that of a Japanese ghost. Well, it definitely showed her hair and eyes very vibrantly. As for a ghost? She was rather a sexy vixen than anything else. Perhaps, she was a ghost of seductress or something. But, he would say this much. She was truly a beautiful sight to behold. However, he was more concerned with that sharp look. He followed the direction where Nightless was looking at and saw two white-haired females. His eyes widened recognizing who they were. Just like that, he excused himself and made way through the crowd.
"Daitokuji-san! Tsukumo-san!"
