His Eyes

MASK MAKER

"Hey, Uta?" I say.

"Yeah?" He replies.

"Teach me how to make masks.....*whispers* senpai." I say back.

"You really want to know?" He asks, surprised.

"Yes. I'm interested to see how they are made and I'd like to have a go!" I say enthusiastically.

"Well! Let's get started!" He says back smiling.

For the next few days, Uta shows me how to design a mask, measure the right lengths, find a design that matches the person, and how to decorate them.

We use basic colours at first and then add designs to the ones we think would suit it best.

After torturous amounts of time being spent on the masks we finally finish them.

Gold, black and white are the three basic colours we use and for some we add designs.

I have to say.

It was a lot of fun.

A couple hours after finishing the masks, I find a pack of water balloons.

And I get a terrifying idea.

Hopefully he'll take this well.

I grabbed some dye and paint and filled all the balloons with it.

I snuck up on Uta and said, "Psst!"

And he turned around and I saw his eyes widen before the balloon landed.

I screamed and ran as he chased me.

Bombarding him with balloons.

Sadly he found my backup pack and began to throw them at me.

By the time we were done, we were covered in paint and dye.

As we finally calm down, we realise we haven't used all the balloons.

Then we hear the door open and a young man walks in.

He has black hair and has fair skin. He has a white eye patch over one eye.

I wonder why.

He looks around, clearly shocked and looks at us as we peak our heads just over the counter.

"What happened?" He asks.

And Uta and I look at each other before we bombard him with balloons.

One manages to hit him in the face and I run forward and steal his eye patch.

His hands instantly come up to cover his eye and Uta has stopped throwing the balloons.

"P-p-please! Can I have that back?" He asks, almost hysteric.

"I know you're a ghoul. Why are you hiding one of your eyes?" I ask.

"Nothing!" He replies. He's getting angry.

"Why not!?" I yell back.

He suddenly pulls his hand away and I understand.

He's a one-eyed ghoul.

I grin and he seems confused.

And I let my eye change.

He instantly looks shocked and I realise he's never net anyone like himself.

"OH MY I'VE FOUND ANOTHER!" I scream.
