15 Almairusks (1/2)

In Chao's room, there were strange noises coming from inside. One second it was quiet and the next there were roaring peels of laughter.

”Look at it! It keeps wiggling its butt!”

”Shh, shh. Wait for it. Dearie, you're so cute!”

A piano played J.S Bach - Prelude in C Major. ”It's time for brunch Darling.” The woman nodded her head and both changed their outfits. Chao wore a purple jumper that reached her mid thigh. She also had light black and yellow silk wrapped around her waist. The woman wore a long yellow sundress and held black and purple gloves that reached her elbows.

”I hope you don't just introduce me as Darling. I'd like a proper introduction to the dears.”

”Would I ever do something like that?” The woman's response was to cast a long side glance meaningfully.

”Ahem. I won't.”

”What are you planning Chao? I can only see it vaguely since you've filtered out certain details like always.”

Chao looked into the distance and smiled. ”Come on,” she grabbed the woman's hand. ”You must be hungry.” What the woman didn't see but felt was the mischievous smirk on Chao's face. She glowed in psychotic happiness. ”I'm going to play a little trick is all. All I'm going to do is play some games. Innocent, little games. That's all.”

. . .

”My dears, give me a smile on three! THREE!” Automatically, almost everyone started smiling. The people who made up the minority that didn't smile were Gladys, Albus, Luna and Ignis.

Gladys didn't smile because it would mean that Chao was worth smiling for, (he was still being petty since Chao was loud earlier). Albus didn't smile because before arriving, Furvus called her cute which made her embarrassed, and she didn't usually smile much anyway. Luna didn't smile because she was too busy being angry at Chao for no reason. Ignis didn't smile because Marianna told him not to smile in her form and even if she did allow him, he was studying Chao and the woman beside her.

The woman giggled and strolled over to Luna. ”What's your name dear?” Somehow, Luna couldn't deny her so she answered absent-mindedly. ”You yourself are quite pretty dear.” Leaving behind a blushing Luna, she made her way back to Chao who had already sat down.

”Take a seat everyone! I have someone to introduce!” With sparkling eyes, she started to speak. ”This lovely woman is my Darling Serenus. She is my -”

”Almairusk. One out of two of her loves. I am her other love.” A man who looked similar to the two women appeared behind them and slung his arms over their shoulders.

”My Inamorato!” shouted both women. Chao dragged his head over to her lips while Serenus clasped her hands over his. ”What are you doing here? How long were you spying on us?”

”From when Red occupied Darling's body.”
