'Nathan' shrugged and looked at his watch,"Hmm, looks like it's time to get moving. The party should be starting soon". He stood up, carefully placing his book in his pocket and turned to Night, waiting for her to move.

Night stood up, “I guess it is best to get started.” She wasn’t all that enthusiastic now she was enjoying the single person company but she needed to start the party or at least mingle and supervise. “I guess this was nice while it lasted.” She headed out of the door into the main ballroom.

Hannibal was waiting in the ballroom for his lady to help get it started.

'Nathan' followed her swiftly, trying not to gawk at the decorations that must have cost a fortune. Suddenly it occurred to him that he had no idea how someone who had been hiding in an abandoned house a few days ago had ended up hosting a party in such an expensive place.

Night could hear the chattering as she moved down to the main room. I know I’ve met him before, but I can’t imagine where or why we met. She kept thinking. She faced the crowd, “Welcome everybody! And Happy Years! Do enjoy yourselves!” when everyone pretty much went back to what they were doing she let her head drop in a way and sighed feeling relief that she hopefully wouldn’t have to address the large crowd, just a little stage fright not much but still for the size of the crowd she was. She turned to face ‘Nathan’, “Well? Go enjoy yourself.” She used her hand to direct him down to the party.

Hannibal noticed that the masked man was still too close to his lady. He swiftly made his way through the crowd to get to his lady. When he did he bowed, “Milady, if I may I’d like to take my place as your escort back,” he eyed the unknown man coldly, “from your um, ‘new friend’.”

Behind his mask 'Nathan' raised an eyebrow,"I guess I will be leaving you then". He turn swiftly and melded into the crowd, his coat flying out behind him. He made his way to the back of the hall, keeping an eye on people. He wasn't really there to dance. Actually, he didn't know why he was there. Party crasher maybe?

Night went to turn but he was already gone. She looked at Hannibal, “Geez that was rude!”

He looked at her, “but who knows what he was planning getting all cozy near you!” He exclaimed in response.

Night started to walk away in ‘Nathans’ direction. “I need to make sure he isn’t upset or offended by you!”

Hannibal grabbed her wrist, “stop! Why is this guy so important to you? You don’t know him!”

“That’s just it! I think I do! I just don’t know where!” Night shouted but only a few people looked with as crowded as the party had become not very many people paid any attention to yelling or shouting.

“Where could you possibly know some shady guy like that?!” He questioned her with a mixture of jealousy, worry and rage growing in his voice.

She pulled her hand out of his grip and headed right for ‘Nathan’ hoping to get some answers and apologize for Hannibal’s behavior. “Don’t follow me! If I need help I’ll call!” She started off.
She managed to make her way through and finally caught a glimpse of the bright red jacket and knew she was on the right trail. She caught up, and grabbed at the bottom rim of the jacket, “Wait… please wait. I need to talk to you if you don’t mind, do you?”

'Nathan" paused and turned,"Not at all. What do you need to say". Oh no, I hope she hasn't recognized me., he thought. He caught a glimpse of the steaming Hannibal and instantly became guarded.

Night was breathless a bit between Hannibal’s behavior and trying to catch up to ‘Nate’ in high heels and she was flustered again. She naturally moved her hands to his shoulders with her head bowed trying to catch her breath. Then she realized that if ‘Nate’ put his arms on her waist and held her closely it would look like they were kissing. That thought made her blush again. “Um,” she cleared her throat covering her mouth and hoping to hide the blush, “could we talk in private? I feel like I’ve met you before but I’m afraid I don’t recognize you, it’ll bug me if…” she stopped talking and didn’t know why.

'Nathan looked at her, eyes and mouth even,"I don't recall ever meeting you, and I'm sure I would remember. But if you want to talk...". He motioned to the glass door near them, that lead to a balcony- full of potted plants-that looked out on the grounds.

Translations/Notes~ Tsuki no utsukushii = beautiful moon Na, okasama = right, mother? Tanjoubi omedetou = happy birthday, the literal translation Tanjoubi = birthday, omedetou = congratulations Watashi ni = to me; me
She followed his motion and walked to the balcony’s railing and leaded on it. Then Night turned now facing ‘Nate’ with her elbows keeping her up on the rail then turned back to star up at the night sky covered with stars and a shining full moon. “I could’ve sworn that we’ve met… but I guess I’m wrong if you say we haven’t met then I guess it must be true.” She continued to look up trying not to glance at ‘Nate’. She sighed in a lovely way and kind of muttered to herself out loud, “tsuki no utsukushii…” almost forgetting she wasn’t alone for a moment while she was dazed by the beautiful sky she whispered, “na, okasama?” Her necklace, the one she never takes off was showing and she gently fingered and rubbed it in her hand as she watched the night go by. She then sighed depressingly realizing what time and day it was, it was starting to near midnight (about 11:25pm), the time when bells would ring after everyone made the count down to zero. “Tanjoubi omedetou… watashi ni…” She felt like she was going to cry, the whole point to having a party was to keep my mind of the past, she thought as she remembered the horrid things that happened before…

'Nate' watched her, entranced for a moment,"Happy birthday to you too", he muttered, turning to look at the party going on inside. He sighed, noticing Hannibal again. "Sorry to drag you away from this moment, but your friend is starting to get impatient".

"Oh, it is probably best to ignore him." A ton of mental bricks just hit her. "How did you know what i said?" she lit up with excitement for some reason she didn't know...
