AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hi everyone! It's been a while! :)

I'm just posting to let everyone know I've started a new story for 07 Ghost called Vendetta! A snippet of the chapter is below!

Warm light spills from crystal chandeliers, each small hand-crafted gems sends a unique pattern on the marble dance floor. It casts a soft light on the glittering ballroom as couples elegantly twirl about the center, dancing to the dramatic tune the live orchestra was playing. Even through the floor was crowded and everyone was dressed extravagantly, there was one couple that seemed to shine brighter than the rest. A slightly short, slim young man with brilliant golden hair and emerald eyes was leading a thin, young woman with raven black hair and grey eyes in a sweeping waltz. With every turn they made the lady's silver dress flared out and cast sparkles about the room. The young man's white knee-length coat had lapels decorated in a gold filigree embroidery pattern which complimented his partner's dress. The couple both had donned masks, as it was in the nature of a masquerade party, but many of the attendees knew who the couple was.

The young man was rather infamous for being sweet with words and bold in action, yet undeniably kind. He quickly gathered the favor of many and was almost always welcome at parties. He is the only son of the Usotsuki family and was taken in by the lonely elder of the Usotsuki at a young age.

The woman, is the young lady Mr. Usotsuki was pushing the younger Usotsuki to settle down with, the mysterious yet sweet Miss Angel. Then again, this hadn't been the first woman that the Usotsuki elder had tried to pair the younger with.

The music reached a crescendo and Usotsuki raised the Angel into the air only to have the room turn pitch black. Several screams erupted from the startled party goers, but a sweet, calming voice rose above the the other voices, cutting through the sounds like a knife, "It's all under control. I'm sure the attendants will have the lights back in no time at all." People tried to find the voice and saw Miss Angel standing still with a small zaiphon light cupped in her hands, staring towards a door. After a moment of silence she looked at her rapt audience and smiled. "Mr. Usotsuki has already gone to find someone. It's only a matter of minutes now." Just as she was speaking the lights flickered back on and the crowd breathed a sigh of relief. Darkness was never liked, as it was the domain of Verloren. However, it seems as if this was yet again, another small and harmless moment. Mr. Usotsuki came through a side door with a flawless smile upon his fair face, just visible beneath his pale, leering joker mask. Miss Angel returned his smile with a dainty nod. He gracefully took her hand and they danced one last time before leaving the grand hall. As the doors closed behind them with a dull thud, a shrill shriek echoed, heard even through the marble walls of the manor.

"HE'S DEAD!"
