= A Masquerade Ball =

- Sabo -

I woke up with a headache, I groan as I set up & look around. How did I get to my room? I look around again & I stop as my eyes landed on a figure that sat at my desk

I stood up & noticed it was a girl & she had white hair, I start walking towards her & I reach my hand out to her

"Kizu..." I put my hand on her shoulder & she shot up, with her head hitting me in the chin & I fall back

"Ow..." I rub my chin while she clutches her head, she turns around & my eyes widened. I blink a couple times & Kizu was gone & Kiruko appeared "Are you okay?! I'm so sorry!"

"Yeah, it wasn't your fault Kizu."

"Kizu?" I tense up a bit & I felt tears appear "Oi oi oi! Don't cry!" I start crying in my hands while she comes over & wraps a arm around my shoulder

"You looked just like her!" I kept crying while she tried to comfort me

"Stop crying Sabo, this isn't like you."

"B-But I miss her! I haven't seen her for 10 years, & she w-was the nicest sister I could e-ever ask for...!" she then chuckled

"But would she want you to cry?" I look up & saw she was smiling

"No..."

"So wipe your tears, & smile!" she wiped away some of my tears & kissed my forehead, my eyes widened a second & I looked at her with a blush creeping onto my face

"You just..."

"I know, I knew it would be the only thing that would calm you down." I sniff & wipe away the tears with my sleeve

"Hey, did you change my clothes?" she started rubbing the back of her head

"Uh... kinda. Anyways I'll be taking my leave."

"Aren't you going to give my clothes back?" she looked down before standing up

"No, I kinda like your clothes. They make me feel fancy, & who knows, might need them." then she ran out the door while laughing

"Kiruko!"

"Come catch me if you can...!" I sigh then chuckle, I touch the place where she kissed me & blushed

"You really do remind me of Kizu..."

- Time Skip / Third Person -

"Wait wait wait, a Masquerade Ball? With dresses & suits & other shit like that?"

"Yes."

"Then count me out, I do not like wearing dresses." Dragon sighed

"You need to find another ancient artifact, a dagger."

"What does it do?"

"When you push the jewel on its hilt, it'll be able to turn back time for only a minute & only the user is able to see it."

"Hmm, if I get to keep it."

"Keep it?! But--" she smirked at him, he sighed "Fine, you get to keep."

"Yes! Oh & one more thing, I'm not wearing a dress."

"Then who will?" she looked at Sabo

"Do you still know someone named Ivankov?" he raised an eyebrow, then got what she was taking

"Yes."

- 'Kizuato' -

I cover my mouth as I try not to laugh, I look down at Sabo & see she was blushing a dark red
