Kai jumped at the sound of someone shouting her name, and she whirled to see a man running towards them. "Whoa, hold it buddy! Or I'll kick your ass so fast, it'll make your head spin!" She took a defensive step in front of Sully. "Between Kraven and Dante, I'd say I could use a little face breaking!" She clearly didn't recognize him with the mask on.

Kai stumbled and fell to the ground. She felt unclean. She brought both hands to her face and suppressed a sob. She wasn't sure why she wanted to cry, aside from feeling Kraven slither through her mind, and sensing Dante's eyes upon her, even at this very moment. She was never one to cry, about anything. You're being a baby, Kai. Just get up and go. Run, before Dante comes back. Though she kept mentally urging herself, she remained upon the ground, fighting the urge to become a blubbering pile of sobs.

"Sully?" Sulos questioned, Sully hushed him as she turned to look at Kai. She knelt close to her, as she placed a reassuring hand upon her shoulder. "Lets go..."

As Sully's hand connected with her shoulder, Kai felt a numbness wash over her and she looked up with a forced smile. "Yea, let's go dance awkwardly without masks and be proud of who we are!" She pulled herself off the ground, nodding at Sulos. "Sorry for almost striking you down where you stand, it's been a crazy night."

"None taken" Sulos stated as he removed his mask, exposing his dashing face, "Well let me join you's on this act of awkwardness." Sully snickered as she made her way towards the ball.
The music was of gentle melody, as those around them danced in a patterned fashion, Sully looked around as they were being stared awkwardly without their masks. She looked at Sulos and Kai and smirked. "Well I'll leave you two be" She said as she walked off leaving the two be. Sulos looked around for Sully, unfortunately his search was futile. She was no where to be found. "Well I don't know if we've properly met" He said as he shifted to look down at Kai, he was alot taller then she was.

She wanted to protest when Sully left them, but she too happened to notice the people gawking at the masque-less people at a masquerade and suddenly felt very uncomfortable. But her thoughts were interrupted by Sulos' voice, and she looked up at him, suddenly feeling very aware of his presence. She didn't have time to dance, or canoodle with some strange guy, Dante and Kraven were out there, and either of them could swoop in and try and take her again, and swooping was bad. She needed to get out of here, to run away and lose Dante again. "What? Oh, right. No. I guess not. Look, I'm only here to thank you, really. So... Thank you." She bowed her head and tried to smile, but her eyes drifted to the side, and she spotted Dante's face. As she straightened, the face disappeared among the crowd. Feeling that she was safer to stay here, she looked back at Sulos. "On second thought, this is my first ball, so I guess I could try and enjoy myself." She took a deep breath and smiled as she let it go. "Let's try this again." She turned away from him, waited a moment, and turned back to him. "Why hello again! Forgive my rudeness, my name is Kairi." Her smile was now warm, and almost genuine. And it seemed that, for the first time, she actually saw him. He looked like Sully, but not. He truly was remarkably attractive. That's no surprise considering how attractive Sully is. Damn Gods and their beauty.

Sulos flashed her a smile, it was a warm smile her pulled out his hand, "Well let us go back into better terms then" He bowed to her as though she was a queen. "Akkai, I am Sulos 'the oracle' twin of Sully's, and M'lady may we have this dance?" he placed a hand under hers as though being a gentleman. It was quite hard for him to do so considering he was one of the three odd ones out, being maskless and all.

Kai felt her face flush slightly. "Ah, well, you see... About dancing. That wasn't me earlier. I swear. I'm a mess on the floor. I really have no idea what to do. Like I said, this is my first ball and all." Get it together, Akkai! she snapped at herself upon realizing that she was rambling like a nervous schoolchild. Smile politely at the nice man and simply say 'No thank you'
[[Say no thank you! Saaaaay no thank you! If the food leave you cold, you shouldn't sputter or scold, just say no thaaank you! xD]]

"None sense" He said as he grabbed her hand. Bringing her closer, and then whispered softly in her hear "I'll teach you as we go along" and with that he began to guide her into a small waltz.

Feeling her defences skyrocket, Kai felt herself struggle internally; let him teach her how to dance, or shove him away and ask him what the hell he thinks he's doing. She decided to compromise. Pulling away slightly, but not too much as to mess up the dance, she gave him a small glare. "Easy, Tiger. That's a little too close for comfort." Once she felt she was close enough for the dance to flow, but not so close as to be completely overwhelmed by him and let him whisper so intimately in her ear again, she let herself pay attention to the steps, and eventually got the hang of it. "Well, this doesn't seem so bad. It's actually quite fun." She looked at him, pride and amusement dancing in her eyes. "I wonder if Sully is also dancing. Hey, wait, where is Sully?" She looked around as they danced, hoping to spot her, but too many people crowded them. As she attempted to stretch and look over them, someone behind her knocked into her, causing her to lose her balance. Instinct took over and since she was already holding onto to Sulos for the dancing, she tightened her grip and felt her face hit his chest. She pulled away quickly and whirled, ready to tear the person to pieces.

Sulos snickered to himself as she temporarily made way for his chest, it made him lose his footing a little but nothing to serious. However; her question did made him wonder. To be honest he didn't know where Sully was, perhaps dancing, maybe socializing, she was a social butterfly after all, and it was then that his eyes finally met hers for what would seem the first time sense they first met. He felt his cheeks redden, until Sully interrupted them, with a belch followed by a slur that parted her lips "Glad *hick* you guys are having fun!" She swung her arms around Sulos and Kai "Apparently brother Lucas is here as well...so I've heard *hick*" Sulos rolled his eyes as he broke apart from Kai, he patted his sister's head "Its ok sister lets take you home"

Noticing Sully, and the smell radiating off of her, Kai couldn't help but laugh and forget about whoever knocked into her. "I see someone's found the bar and decided to have a good night!" Just as she made to help Sulos with his sister, a light tap on her shoulder stopped her. She turned to see a tall man in a tuxedo so light blue, it was nearly white. He wore a sort of yin yang mask; one side was white, and the other black. His eyes were what completed the yin yang effect, because one seemed to be all black, and the other all white. "I beg your pardon, miss, but I couldn't help notice that you no longer dance as you did earlier. I was hoping you might allow me the pleasure of dancing with you, and perhaps teach you a few routines. I believe that I can help you return to the graceful woman you were earlier, without any trick masks." He smiled gently and bowed deeply, reaching for her hand. Uncertain, Kai looked around to see nearly the whole room had stopped what they were doing to pay attention to her conversation with this strange man. Pressure beginning to make her uncomfortable, she forced a polite smile and curtsied. "But of course, sir. I would be delighted." Turning to Sulos and Sully, a look of panic now on her face, she shrugged. "You go on without me, I'll come find you later." The man escorted her to another place on the dance floor, turning back to wink at Sulos just before the crowd engulfed them. Once he felt he'd found a good, spacious spot, he turned to her, his smile never faltering. "All right, first thing is first, your frame was weak. Try to keep you arms as such." he said as he guided her arms to their proper positions. "You want them to be strong, yet relaxed. Good. Now try these simple steps." He continued to coach her, and in a few minutes they began to sweep lazily across the dance floor. "I knew there must have been a part of you dancing earlier. A spell can't make anyone such a magnificent dancer, especially when the one they are dancing with is terrible." Kai knew she should smile and thank the man, pretend that she was oblivious to what he was saying, but it wasn't her style. Besides, something about this man was setting her alarms off. "What are you talking about?" she demanded, her eyes holding his. He let out a small laugh. "Kraven's cursed masks, the ones you and your friend Sully wore. They couldn't have made you the dancer you were while under his spell, because the spell would have made you as good a dance as he himself. And he is quite terrible." "How did you--?" "That doesn't matter. What does matter is that Dante is watching you as we speak. And Kraven is planning an ambush for your friends outside. And I am your distraction." His arm tightened almost unbearably around Kai's waist as she made to break free and go warn them. "Ah, ah. Can't have you ruining anything, now can I? You are going to stay right here and dance with me."

Sulos's attention continued on the stranger that swooped Kai away from them. He wasn't sure why his heart was suddenly racing as a man came to claim his dancer, especially when it came to Sully's drunken state. He knew he had to take care of his sister, however; that man shot a feeling of uneasiness. He couldn't place his finger on it, but he knew he had bigger things to worry about it. He held his sister's hand as he hinted her to follow, she did so, clenching his hands as she giggled followed by a drunken snort. "Kai held these hands" She stated as she brought herself closer "bother...you had fun didn't you" His only answer was the silent shake of his head. They finally exited the castle walls, as Sully swung herself back to lay on the walls that kept the castle safe. "That is a fabulous ball..." Sully smiled.

"If I can't come to Kai and win her, then I'll have to force her to come to me. And the only way to do that is to take something she cares about. And that, unfortunately for you, is you." Kraven's voice echoed in the empty courtyard. He stood, leaning against the entrance, a gleam in his eyes and a taunting grin. "Now I understand that you are quite the fighter, Sully, but it seems you are incapacitated at the moment. So this should be easy, but you," he said, now looking at Sulos, "will be a problem. Lucky, I planned ahead." A group that was seemingly chatting away contently, fell silent and began to advance on them.
Inside, Kai was still trying to find a way to escape her captor. "Let me go, right now, and we won't have a problem." she hissed, eyes blazing with anger. The man simply smiled and continued to sweep her across the floor, as though nothing was wrong. "I'm not kidding." Her fangs grew and her eyes turned red. For a hybrid, she certainly had the short temper of a full vampire. The man's smile finally vanished. "Dante is beginning to suspect something, Kai. If you wish me to let you go, then so be it. But know that I am the only thing preventing him from stealing you away into the night. And as for your friends, I am quite certain they can take care of themselves." Kai wasn't so sure, after all Sully was trashed, and she didn't know if Sulos could even fight. Oracle or not, no one can really fight with a drunk hanging off their neck; a drunk that is a target would could disappear if out of sight for a minute. She had to go help them, trap or not.
