Sound of crowds cheering flooded the sound of a bell, swung by a tight grip, with a jingle of a melody and a continuous thumping of a drum. Her sleeves flowed with her movements, her long silky raven black hair and her fox like eyes with lips shaped like cupid's bow was all covered by a piece of wood a fox mask as people look at it.
"Do a twirl!" As a voice chimes from the crowd, with a sword that was tied to her bell she held It with a small bow, agreeing to the request given to her.
As she gets in her stance, holding the blade close to her cheek pretending to look at a target, in a blink of an eye the fabric of her robe flew with the wind as the bell made a chime. As she did a twirl.
The crowd got even louder than before with a smug look on her face she giggles under the mask. She looks to her side noticing a male with a look of enchanment in his eyes, as sly as a fox she tilts her head raising the sword and putting it in It's case on her side.
With gentle movements, holding the bell on her hand she dances to It's melody following the sound until she found herself near the man trailing the bell on his shoulder.
It was all good when the crowd all gasped in shock.
The bell that was once held by the girl was now on the ground rolling away, with the mask falling near it.
Visible shock was seen on her face looking at the man with wide eyes, her bum on the hard and dirt filled floor with newly made scrapes on her hands from the fall she sat there.
'Why?..' She was confused with the look on his face, she was expecting someone mad but 'Why do you look like that young master..' she was surprised to see a flustered look on his face, with lips that seemed to be trembling and hands that covered himself.
The man that wore silk on his body suddenly retreats and runs away, she sat there frozen as she watched him fade from view.
"Oi, Yuko! Are you okay?.." A friend of hers rushed to her side helping her up she quickly looked at him.
"Yuko Kitsune. I told you to stand up for yourself when someone does that!" Receiving a hit on the head by her friend she winces followed by a whine. The crowd immediately scattered knowing the show was over.
"Oh come on Azuki! He's royalty let him off!" Trying to calm her red haired irritated friend that was oozing such a scary aura, she just nervously prayed for her life with It.
"Royalty or not. He shouldn't have done that!" He was raising his fist, holding his drum with his other hand, she angrily waves it around at the direction of the rich fellow.
"I would've hit him with this drum If I wasn't so surprised!" He followed with a huff.
"Calm down~ He already payed me for the scrapes~" From behind her she takes out a pouch, tossing it in the air as it land perfectly on her hand with the sound of clinks possibly silvers she smiled from ear to ear.
[Yuko Kitsune, a concubine owned by the Bushida's, a sword dancer with a habit of stealing to live freely from royalty sly as a fox and captivating as a phoenix.]
Azuki seemed dumbfounded as he hugged the girl with glee, impressed by what she pulled and also worried at the most part that she might get into big trouble if they ever find out.
"Oh you rascal! I never thought you'd pull it off!" He chuckles hugging her closely.
[Azuki Bushida, The youngest prince of the Bushida family, the rebel and the one that want to decide his own path. A thief but feels guilty for stealing.]
As they shared a hug, they broke off while looking at each other before turning their attention at the pouch.
"Sake?" Azuki offered.
"My treat?" She said with a grin.
"Ofcourse." With their arms linked to one other they happily skipped towards the bath house to get all the ladies and the drinks they desire.
Finding themselves infront of the main host asking for the drinks they've been craving, she with a cocky aura took out the pouch and settled the money down on the table, in the vast of silvers and golds, lays a pendant made of Marble. with curiousity she looks at it closely.
Taking a glance if her partner noticed, but all she saw was Azuki being flooded by ladies, she simply shrugged and kept the pendant inside her robe. "Might aswell see the fortune i can get from this" She said with a smile.
"One Bottle of Sake pretty sister!" With her hand raised and a pretty smile she was granted what she wanted.
Meanwhile, the flustered prince that ran off found himself with crimson red cheeks and a heartbeat that's ready to explode with how rapidly It's thumping.
"That stupid girl! Who does she think she is touching me like that!" Feeling around his robe, he finds that something is missing.
With his aura darkening he immediately froze in place. It felt like the whole world was shaking but It was only him with his rage. With a flick of his finger he calls out his right hand man.
"Yes Master?"
"Find me the woman who wears a fox mask, immediately bring her to me.." He said while clenching his fist.
"The reason?"
"She has something that is very precious to me.." He groans feeling frustrated.
The guard bows and takes his leave, seemed like he was holding in something, with the young prince out of his sight he was letting out small laughs. 'I shouldn't laugh but why does young master look so cute when he's angry, like a little mouse"
Clearing his throat, he seeks out to continue the task given to him.
