Intertwine (Strings of Fate)-UNEDITED

Chapter Twelve

"This band was famous because of their heartbreaking song and dynamic melody that we always love." Yuji said. "Without a further ado, let's all welcome, the Candy Crown!" Then, the lights went out, after a few moments all the lights are on the stage, the band start to perform. "Wow! The band is so energetic and fabulous! Let's give them a hand!" The crowd applauds in Ayaka's voice.

            "Tonight, we have a very unique surprise. We call it!" "Find Me in the Dark Game!" Huh? Did I hear it right? But I never knew of this. What's going on? I advance on the stage but someone block my way. "What's going on, Jiro?" He slightly smiles at me. "Don't spoil the night, nee-chan." I have a bad feeling about this, why I am so nervous. "So here the mechanics of the game. We are going to choose among the boys and blindfold them. Then, they will roam around and they will grab who will be their first dance among the girls." Yuji announces, while the crowd is howling and shouting out of excitement.

            "So let's start the game folks! Turn off the lights." The lights went out, and a beam of light is roaming around for its target. After a while, the light stops on top of Sho. All the girls are going mad and crazy because Sho will choose someone among them. "So, Sho senpai will have the chance to choose one among the girls here!" Suddenly, Jiro step up and blindfold Sho, he turns Sho three times and Sho starts to walk around with the spotlight beam on him. I stand glued on the floor while I watch him striding around, when he was infront of me, he suddenly stop.    Thump...thump...thump...thump. My heart was beating so crazy. I can't breathe like normal as before. The only thing I can hear is my heart pounding heavily in the thin air. He reaches for my hand and touches it firmly this time.

            "Hmm, I found you." He said while grinning widely on his face. "Now, we got the first couple of the night, Sho and Meter senpai!" The crowd applauds while, my mind doesn't sink in the process of events. Jiro untie the blindfold and step out. Before he walks away, he give me his wildest smile that say 'Congrats, nee-chan.'

"Why are you spacing out, Meter?" My mind was still in chaos and I can't comprehend what is happening at this time. I must be dreaming, can I hurt myself to confirm if it was real or bluff?

"Why are you spacing out, Meter?" My mind was still in chaos and I can't comprehend what is happening at this time. I must be dreaming, can I hurt myself to confirm if it was real or a bluff?

            "AAAHHH! It's Akiyama-san! I'm so jealous!" "KIYAA! They are a lovable couple! They are perfect!" I frown by the comments the other girls are shouting in my face, while Sho is still smiling at me.

            "Now, we have the first couple, now let's start again, lights off!" The lights went out again, but I feel Sho hold my hand tightly and lean closer to me at my back. I can almost feel his breath on my shoulder. The game was continuing, now we have 9 couples beside us. "Now for the last couple for the night, light's out!" now the crowd are getting crazier than before. This is their last chance. But,  it doesn't  mean anything to me, it's just a game. The spotlight beams on top of Kaname, so that means that he is the last guy and that he need to find his first dance. Jiro step up behind him and blindfold him at the back, and then he turns three times before he can roam around. But after he turns, he suddenly grab someone's hand not far from him. To my surprise, he grabs Kannon out of the dark and pulls her closer to him.
