Raien shook his head. "I'm afraid, I have not been. My parents did not have the same relations there as they did here." He saw Drake go talk to his sister. "I hope she chooses not to be difficult..." He looked at her, his red eyes twinkling. "I hope your mans up for a challenge, Katie."

Kilyo was a little startled but hid it instantly. She looked at him, her red eyes kind but were trying to to figure out why he would ask. "I am not much of a dancer when it comes to the slower dances.. I'm sure you would do better to ask another fine lady who would likely make you look better and who doesn't only know how to tango and do the pasa doble." She smiled, one that was warm on the surface but was obviously challenging underneath.
(I hope I spelled that right and i'd be up for it in a sec. :XD)

((YAY!!! :eager:))

Drake nodded."Okay.."He said and turned,walking to his quarters and going to sleep. ((xD))

Katie looked around seeing everybody left except for the King,Katie, and the princess."Go ahead and come tommorow night,just say I invited you."She paused."I'm sorry..But I have to go."She said and kissed him on the lips since he had seemed to be flirting with her all night."Goodnight Raien."She said and turned,going out of the ballroom and to her room.She soon fell asleep.

MAGIC TIME SKIP FORWARD!

WHOO!

Raien was in a bit of a shock after she had left. He did not expect that to happen. Kilyo laughed and tugged on her brothers arm, leading him to the carriage. "Come on, baby king. Time to go home" They got in their carriage and left, Raien thinking the whole time about what just happened. He had no idea. They got home and went to sleep.
(had to get that in there)

((Oh yeah, Katie invited him to come to OnYeens ball. I edited my post > . < xD))

((Now that everyone's home...my people need to decorate!))

They all worked on something, Ryu and Emily did food and drinks, Eclair and Bob did decor, and Shadow and OnYeen tried to find outfits for everyone.

(got it :P)

"Why? This is so stupid. Two balls in a row, Raien? YOU know it kills me to have to pretend to be so bloody proper. That isn't me and quite frankly. It never used to be you either. What happened to my brother who loved to have fun and not be stuffy?"
"Kilyo, you know things like these are important if you want to continue to have the freedom to have fun. I'm still the same person but unlike you, I know when I have to be 'stuffy' as you call. Now stop your complaining and start getting ready. We'll be leaving soon. The Clubs kingdom is farther then Spades and it will take longer to get there."
"To hell with you, Raien Dimund. I am not going."
"DO not use that language, Kilyo and stop acting like a spoiled brat." Both pairs of eyes were bright red with anger.
She growled at him and turned on her heel, going to her room, where her maid, Fresla, had her things ready. Kilyo glared and her maid only glared back, having found that formalities don't work with her mistress. She held the dress out. "Ky, its for your own good. If it helps, I added a leg strap for you take your dagger without anyone knowing." Kilyo actually smiled a little eyes returning to normal slowly. "Thank you, Fres." She began to get ready, this time making sure that her maid did NOT put her hair up, leaving it free and flowing instead.

Katie got into her silver dress that had spades all over it,she put on her spade necklace and earrings and called down to everyone."Get ready! Showers and best clothing!"She said loudly.Alexander put on his best suit,Cole always looked good,Samantha wore a blue and pink dress,Drake wore his butler outfit,and they all did their hair.

"I think that this isn't a good idea, OnYeen.",Shadow protested. OnYeen kept looking through gowns,"Why?". Shadow glared,"Did you see what happened to you? This damn ball is just a way of you getting more hurt!". OnYeen sighed,"It is something I must do...". Shadow grabbed her shoulder and spun her around,"Nobody made you do anything OnYeen!" She shook her head,"I made myself do this." She patted his shoulder and took the clothes downstairs.

OnYeen went to everyone and gave them an outfit. OnYeen is wearing a sapphire gown with a necklace, earrings, shoes, and crown to match; it may not be her Kingdoms color but it was her favorite. Ryu wore the same thing as last night but instead of purple as a detail color it was emerald, Bob's was the same too but instead of pink his color was gold, Emily wore a pearl colored dress with stuff to match it like OnYeen, and Eclair wore a ruby colored dress with stuff to match. Shadow wore a tux like the other guys but his color was blood red.

OnYeen clapped her hands,"Nice everyone."

Katie looked down at her slim silver dress and took the earrings off."There."She said,letting her hair out and then calling down."Everyone get in the carriage!"She yelled,going down the stairs and outside.Everyone was in the carriage.
Alexander was wearing a black and blue outfit,Cole was wearing black and gold,drake wore purple and black.The pulled up in front of the clubs home and got out,knocking on the door.

Emily answered the door,"Hey guys! Come on in!" She led them inside,"Here's the ballroom." It was an emerald room with black and white details."Like it? There's a garden out that way and we have all kinds of food and drink! BOB START THE MUSIC!"

Bob yelled back,"DONE!"

Emily smiled,"THANK YOU!"

Ryu smiled as he and his sister walked toward them,"Hello people of Spade!"

OnYeen bowed,"Please forgive me for not being able to go to your ball." Then she looked over at Eclair.

Eclairsmiled,"Come on father! You must dance with mother!" She giggled.

Shadow sighed and walked with Eclair over toward to OnYeen and Ryu. Shadow had strange markings on his cheeks ((The face ones)) but ignored them and put his arm on OnYeen's waist and glared,"Katie..."

OnYeen sighed,"Your mad already?"

Raien and Kilyo were in the carriage, neither saying anything. Kilyo was exuding anger, obviously not very happy. Her deep purple gown fit her perfectly and she could feel the pressure of her dagger on her leg, the only thing giving her happiness. All her accessories were black to match the purple. Diamond shaped amethysts adorned her ears and her neck. On her finger was her mothers favorite ring, an onyx diamond shaped thing that wasn't large but not terribly small. It had their shield encrested on the band.
Raien wore all blue this time, except they were darker blues with diamond shapes on as trim. His own finger held his fathers ring, the ring all kings and leaders of his country had worn since the kingdom began.
They arrived and this time, he didn't escort his sister and she didn't want to be escorted. They walked side by side, Kilyo smiling the smile of a princess and Raien not smiling but not frowning. He mumbled, "Be kind Kilyo and if someone asks you to dance, do it." His bodyguard knocked on the door and they waited to be admitted.

This time Ryu answered,"Hello. Please come in we're just getting started."

Katie nodded."It's beautiful."She said softly."And I forgive you.."She said quietly and then heard Shadow say her name. She had never been fond of Shadow." What? Is it that time of month already?"She grinned and looked over towards Ryu.

Cole looked at Emily and then patted Drake on the shoulder."Have fun pool boy."He chuckled.

Samantha went towards where Bob was."Bob?!"She asked,brushing her blue hair out of her face.
Drake growled at Cole and looked around the room..there was no one he was interested in at the moment.

Alexander looked at Eclair."Hello."He said with another one of his handsome smiles.

Shadow went stiff.

OnYeen hugged his arm and whisper,"Calm yourself..."

Ryu walked back over,"I'm back everyone!"

Shadow rolled his eyes,"Wonderful."

Eclair giggled,"Hello there."

Emily looked out the window.

Bob flew behind his-"Goddess! You came!". He lifted her off the ground and twirled.

The two came in and greeted OnYeen and Shadow the same as they had Katie at her ball. "Your majesties, we apologize for intruding but Queen Katie said that it would be alright. I hope that you do not mind? I am King Raien of Diamond and this is my sister, Princess Kilyo. Your home is quite lovely."
Kilyo merely smiled, noticing familiar faces from the day before. She noticed that the man that had asked her to dance was wearing the same color scheme as she herself was. She would have grimanced if she could have but she wouldn't hear the end of it from her brother if she had.

Samantha giggled."Well, If i'm your goddess then your my knight in shining armor."She said blushing brightly and kissing him.

Katie smirked towards Shadow and heard Ryu say he came back."Hello, Ryu."

Cole tapped Emily's shoulder."Miss me?"He chuckled.

Alexander smiled."Want to dance or explore?"He asked, since he knew nothing at the moment of this place.

Katie smiled toward Raien."You made it."She said, her smirk turning into a smile.

Raien smiled back at Katie, his red eyes deepening only a little. "Yes, I did." He leaned forward and whispered, "It was hell trying to get her here. And her birthdays in barely over a month and we're supposed to have a ball for her. I shudder to think what kind of hell she will raise then." He smiled when he came back. "Thank you for inviting me and I hope the Queen and King of Clubs don't mind that you did."

Katie smiled."No problem, You seem like a nice guy that I would like my family to get to know." She said,brushing hre bangs out of her face."I bet her birthday takes a toll on your money."She said with a smirk."But she's a nice girl..she just doesn't seem to like to be royal."She said with a small sigh, thats how she herself had felt when she was a teenager."My husbands birthday was supposed to be in a few days but he passed recently.."She said, looking towards Alexander."It's a shame he looks so much like him."She said with a smirk.

OnYeen smiled,"At least we have people coming! Now then..." She walked off to get a drink.

Ryu bowed,"So much royalty. Greetings Queens and Kings of all kinds. And Katie I'm so glad you came. My sister has been wanting to see you."

Emily giggled,"I could ask you the same thing, Cole."

Eclair thought about then nodded,"Explore."

Bob laughed,"It's fitting!"

Shadow followed OnYeen having no interest in anybody else.

Kilyo walked away from her brother, going to see what food or drink was offered. She wondered if she was going to be just as bored as she was with the last one. She again noticed the Drake, wondering who he was. She stopped herself. Why am I thinking about that, I have no interest in him...

Raien smiled sadly. "Loss isn't something we get over quickly." He nodded towards his sister, who's back was to them at that point. "She is very much like my mother, the only difference is that my mother knew when to keep her temper in check. You loved him very much, I assume?" He offered her an arm to escort her. "Should we get a drink, Katie?"

(( WHOO now ALL Kingdoms have at least one ruler! Spade=Katie Diamond=Raien Club=OnYeen and Shadow Heart=Serenity and Yuki))

Queen serenity is worried about the other kingdoms but she is worried about her own and her love king yuki.

"King yuki was in the throne room and talking to the knight the head of his guards.

Mamoru and the king were talking about the plans to keep the kingdom safe.

Princess nina was in her room not like the other princess her sister was shy half the time princess kiki was shy half the time.

Princess kiki was not in her room she was out in the rose place and looking at the kingdom and wishing for someone to take her away from here.

OnYeen got a drink and walked over to her childhood friend and the King of Diamonds,"Hello. How have all of you been?" Her back was throbbing in pain but she ignored it.

Shadow stood next to his wife. Keep it under control....for OnYeen...

Ryu looked around the room wondering who to dance with...

Eclair stared at Alexander,"Where do you wanna go first?"

Emily giggled at Cole.
