It was Saturday night, the night of the masquerade party, shinchi called ran and apologized for canceling tonight's date. he told her he had to participate in a case that is highly important. She asked him what was the case about or where is he going she wanted to join him when she knew it was a party but he quickly rejected and said that it will be dangerous for her to go.
Ran on the phone : then tell me shinchi will there be girls ?
He was so dense to the small details when it comes to feelings specially when it come to love and jealousy feelings: of course there would be girls ran it's an open party
Ran: then then don't flirt with them don't even talk to them
Shinchi finally realized what she meant and laughed: is ran turning into a green monster?
Ran got angry at him but he calmed her down: fine I will not talk to the girls unless I have to, deal? Besides everyone will be disguised
With that ran told him to call her when he is done with the case and hung up.

It was 8:30 when shinchi looked at his reflection in the mirror he disguised as dracola wearing a black suit and, a long cape and, fake fangs and, a fake blood stain on the corner of his lips, he felt weird and wanted to laugh at himself but "since that's the only way to see shiho that's alright" a message arrived and he knew that akai and Judy are outside he took his phone and his mask so he could hide his face.
And off they go to the masquerade

Meanwhile wherever shiho is on this world Gin raided her room with a cigarette in his hand: let's go we're late sherry
: how many times do I have to tell you my name is not sherry, and for the last time I'm not participating in this mission.
He didn't talk and grabbed her by the arm and took her mask and forced her to the car, and the masquerade is their destination.

They stopped the care in front of the gate Judy looked at them: did you bring your masks?
They nodded and akai said: no matter what keep your masks on specially you kodu, they remember that they killed you, we can't risk them knowing that you're alive, and remember focus, and if you see anything suspicious give a signal got it?

They wore their masks and stood at the gate shinchi took a deep breath and whispered to no one and maybe to himself "shiho please be there" and together they stepped in to the castle that was decorated like a hunted castle , and they found this poem crafted neatly at the door to the hall, where it says:

The dark hours approaches
And magic fills the air..
For the masquerade has begun
Come join if you dare..

(I found this poem on the internet I don't know who wrote it)

Shinchi was standing in a corner and surveying the hall, looking at everyone his mask was on his eyes so no one could recognize him, he searched for a certain girl with a strawberry blonde hair
"Anything yet?" Said akai through the earphone
"Nothing" annoyance was visible in his voice
"Don't lose hope we have a long night ahead"

Shiho was there in fact but shinchi couldn't see her at least yet, Gin was grabbing her arm and he was grabbing so hard her arm is turning purple: you're hurting me
Gin: listen you traitor I didn't want to bring you here but it was an order so, I'm gonna go now finish the job and then We might have a drink or two so be a good girl until I come.
He freed her arm that was now purple because of the pressure on it, and he went to the stairs.
Shiho wanted so bad to kill him, when he left she looked at her bruised right arm: asshole
She stood in a corner and watched the people dancing and laughing there were clowns, and pirates and, ballerinas so many costumes and the place looked so colorful and, full of life it was a literal carnival, she felt sad that the night will end up like this .. and a thought came to light in her mind "unless.... I ruin it for them" she held the thing she hid in her thigh and the plan she was waiting for a long time to execute was happening tonight, she walked to follow Gin. she doesn't know anything about their plan they won't trust her after all she's a traitor so, she walked and looked left and right and suddenly someone out of nowhere grabbed her hand and took her to the dance floor.
:umm excuse me sir but I really don't want to dance
The man was wearing a pirate costume: I've never seen such a beauty, i can tell that you're a real diamond even if I can't see your face clearly.
She looked around wanted some help but, duhh she doesn't know anyone here she kept stumbling and trampling on his feet hoping he would let her go but there was no use. So she looked at a girl who was standing alone near the dance floor and singled to her, and the girl came shiho looked at the man and smirked: time to switch partners, pirate
And she quickly went upstairs to look for Gin.

Shinchi was starting to lose hope and his eyes lazily searching the guests, looking for someone when his eyes slowly widened between all these people he found her dancing with a PIRATE?? . He saw a girl wearing a black silk dress that has a slit that reached her thigh with black tights underneath and, a black mask that covered half of her face he wouldn't recognize her if he didn't see her hair . He looked at her and tried to know if it was her she looked like she was struggling and needed help so, he sprinted away to reach her but, if you want to go to the other side of the hall you have to pass through the dance floor and, unfortunately he too a random girl grabbed his hand and started to dance with him : oh dracula I'm ready you can have my blood
He looked at her, he was so confused he forgot he was masked : what? No what are you talking about?
:come on let's dance the night away dracula
Shinchi: wait what?, umm excuse me but I'm really trying to go to the other side so...
he kept on moving and moving and spinning the girl with him to reach the other side of the hall, and he saw her going up the stairs he flew behind her

Slowly tiptoeing looking for Gin "damn it there's alot of rooms which one did he enter?"
Suddenly, a hand touched her naked shoulder, and goosebumps spread all over her body she turned quickly and grabbed the knife she hid in her thigh and, the hand quickly covered her mouth to stop her before saying anything and, attract attention she was slammed to the wall behind her , her other hand where she was holding her weapon was slammed against the wall above her too
She slowly opened her eyes and her heart pounding so hard
She saw a tall figure and, a mask hiding the man's face but she knows these eyes she could recognize them very well and, her eyes widened at that realization
All he said with his chest moving up and down a sign that his heart was beating so fast is and a smile is painted on his lips : I found you
She froze there what could she say she didn't expect to run to him after all these months
All she said with  a shaky voice : you found me



That's the dress I had in mind for shiho, I decided to post it so you can imagine what she looked like , I know stunning right 😛
