tsuna: me too. But we have to go.

The invitation continues P.S. If you don't come,people will really die.

______________________________

They reach the place. The house was big and the door opened by itself as if inviting them in. They walked in and there was no one in the house. It was empty.

harmoni: helllo...?

Her voice echoed the rooms. Just than the music played through the speakers and tables wheeled in with food on them.

Than a person walked out from one of the rooms and stood from above on the second floor. ' welcome to this ball. Thank you for bringing the storages to us.'

The big door squeaked close.

ryohei: what are you trying to do?!!!

knuckles: yea!! Say it! !!

' please be patient.  Allow me to introduce myself to those who don't know me yet. I am edgar. Now... allow me to show you the star of today's show.'

A man dressed in tuxedo and a lady dressed in a dress was hung on wires and slowly put down.

tsuna: that's so cruel.

angie: YOU MANIAC. PUT THEM DOWN.

edgar: hahaha... I'm afraid not. They are the stars of this show.

mini: what do you want? If its a game,than say it. *smiles* I love games and... I never lose.

edgar: oh...is that so?This would prove to be interesting. But today's game is not about you.Its about these two stars.

angie: LET THEM GO!!! YOU PERVERTED!!!

harmoni: what do you want exactly?

ieyasu: what is your aim?

solo turned around and took out her scythe.' I'm out.'

edgar:try slicing the door and I will drop them.

lyes: ohya? Threatening?

edgar: no no. I mean it.

mini: just tell us the rules of the game.

edgar: not much. First I would like my guests to enjoy the ball.

mini: don't be long-winded. Your prologue before the start of the game is boring me.

edgar: how rude

He lit up his thunder flames and like nets he caught all the girls and lifted them up. The huge volts electrocute the girls and they faint.

Than a black wall came between them.

tsuna: what's going on?!!!

After a while the black wall came up.

The girls were suspended in air like the first couple they saw.

hibari: you are going to pay for this.

alaude: how dare you... to my solo.

ryohei: wild!!!

knuckles: YOU BASTARD!!!

G: angie!!! Can you hear me?!!!

gokudera: she's not responding!!

asari: mizu!!! Damn it.

yamamoto: tsk... mizu!!! mizu!!!

tsuna: something's missing. Where's.... harmoni?

' what... have you done...' ieyasu's fist lit up with sky flames ' with harmoni?'

edgar: I will give you a clue. She's in one of these rooms. One which is the opposite of me. That is the darkest room with no lights. The other, right behind me. Make the right choice.

Alaude: The thunder flames are connected.

asari: so if ieyasu makes the wrong choice....

edgar:hahaha... bye bye. They will drop below in a tank of acid.

The floor opens and it shows the acid.

edgar: now... please enjoy the game.

He walks into another room and closes the door. Lampo run up the stairs to chase him. Lampo opens the door edgar went through just now but realizes that edgar is gone and the room is empty.

lampo: he is gone. Like poof gone.

G grabs onto ieyasu's shoulder 'there's another possibility. You open the right door and they still drop.

asari: no stress ieyasu.We trust you.

knuckles: yea!!!

tsuna: um.

alaude: I trust you.

hibari: I don't. Choose the right one.

ryohei: hibari!!!

yamamoto: maaa maaa...

daemon: you can do it.

ieyasu: that says a lot coming from you.

Suddenly one of the wires loosened and mizu was released.

asari/ yamamoto: mizu!!!

They two run forward trying to save mizu. Just than lyes jumped and hugged mizu, pushing her away from course of the acid.

lyes: oh shit...

They both were going to land hard on ground when mukuro just walked casually to where they were going to crash.  *bam* Both of them crashed onto mukuro. Mizu on lyes and lyes on mukuro.

lyes: hehehe... arigato.

mukuro:you okay?

lyes: erm.

mukuro: unlike you to be so rash.

lyes: she was going to drop in there.

daemon:looks like there's a time limit to how long you can make a decision.

lampo: that...was risky. Don't expect ne to do that.

lambo:I'm not a gay. Obviously I won't catch you.

knuckles:waittt!! How come... you're here...?

lyes: using this kind of minor illusion doesn't even need flames.

ieyasu: I don't trust myself. But...

He walked up the stairs and held onto the door knob. He was at the one behind the girls.

'I trust you.' he turned the door knob and it clicked open. Suddenly the room flamed with storm flames.

tsuna: harmoni!!!

All the wires loosened and all the girls were dropping into the tank of acid. G used flames and coated his arrow and bow. He shot towards the ground and created a big hole.

G: asari!! ice it!!!

asari understood and so did yamamoto. They lit up their katanas and jumped down the hole . They released a big concentrated slice freezing the acid.

hibari: its not enough. They are going to reach impact.

Than asari and yamamoto spread a thin but strong flame over that area. The girls were falling but at a slow rate.So slow that it almost as if seem its stopping.

lyes: wings.

ryohei: what do you mean?!!

hibari and alaude understood and made wings using cloud flames. They flapped a little.Hibari smirked.

alaude smirked too ' a little race?'

They both flew at fast speed towards solo.

'me.'

They both had grabbed her at the same time. One hand each. The rest followed suit and got the girls down safely.

Meanwhile....

ieyasu pov:

' Harmoni!!! ' I called out but there was no response. The roof is about to give way. I ran in to save her while tsuna released a large amount of sky flames and ceased the storm ones. Of course... not all the flames is his.

I carried her in my arms and lookes and her with a gentle gaze. Her face had some soot and so I rubbed it off for her.

I'm so glad she's fine. I carried her down the stairs and realised that they had got the others down too.

Ryohei and knuckles treated them with the sun flames and they woke up.

solo pov:

I opened my eyes and all I could see is darkness.Than I heard a voice ' how is my little lollita?'

*blush* must be that damn hibari!!

' don't call me that!!' I squeaked softly.

Than suddenly my back  was being pulled backwards and I land in someone else's embrace.  My back against a sturdy chest. ' who is that?'

' take a look.' this voice... I looked up and it confirmed what I was thinking. Alaude. He stroked my head ' you okay?'

'um.' I answered. He's so gentle to me... I unconsciously lean onto his chest. So... comfortable. I was about to close my eyes to drift off to sleep when I was  being pulled to the other side.

' hi...bari?' oops... what's with that soft voice.  I was too tired to care about how I look in front of him. 

'so cute...' he whispered in my ears. *blush* Too tired...I fell asleep in his arms...

mizu pov:

I opened my eyes and I see asari . He was really happy that I could see tears at the edge of his eyes.

mizu: asari...

He took my hand ' hai?'

mizu: am... I dead? Are we all dead?

He just giggled 'of course not.' He lifted me up gently and hugged me in his embrace ' almost but no. I wouldn't let you.' Than his tears flow.

Asari... he really loves me. I squeezed him back tightly... do I really... deserve... to be my your side?
