DemonLord #2 Kasanoda Ritsu:>:D The face isn't scary, right?

[mintages]

Kasanoda blinked. "Huh? Shouldn't all of us at the host club make her happy? That's what Tamaki wrote in fancy letters to me when I requested to join... See, I still have his letter..." He showed her the fancy guidelines on how to please a customer written by Tamaki.  

[Valiant_Moon]

True.. But in every girls life there should be one guy to make her very happy  

[mintages]

Kyouya's face flushed red. "Yes... But I believe it should take time! And... I can't even talk to people correctly just yet... So I can't be anyone's knight in shining armour just yet either!"  

[Valiant_Moon]

If you believe it so... then who am I to argue? Now, Valencia. We must practice you dance, but I feel you must practice out of the class.

Wh...What?  

[mintages]

Kasanoda made a wave of his hand. "If your sensei believes we're a problem, then you shouldn't protest to be better. Right?"  

[Valiant_Moon]

No no! I mean she must practice out of our dance classroom. She performs beautifully, but is scared to openly perform in front of an audience!

Val blushed and looked down  

[Mitsuba Okita]

"Knight in shining armor..." Mai sighed slightly as she sipped her tea. She curiously looked to Val's teacher. "Oh my..." She muttered to herself, seemingly losing the short self esteem she had. She picked up her phone and stared at the background picture.  

[mintages]

Kasanoda saw Mai. "Mai-chan! Welcome back!" He looked at Val's teacher. "Ohhhh... Well, why should you be so afraid, Val-san? I was taught by a great group of friends to do what I love without anyone else affecting me... You should do the same, huh?" he said with a smile.  

[Valiant_Moon]

I'm... always afraid I will make a fool of myself...  

[mintages]

Kasanoda smiled. "I once stayed after with a friend of mine at her drama club meeting because she was tutoring me... And her drama director said something... 'When you want to go for something that's beyond all extremes, break through the stupid wall!' And I think she's right.... If you truly enjoy it, just do it! Don't think that you'll fail... The worst thing that can happen is you getting constructive criticism... And it'll always help you to be better!"  

[Valiant_Moon]

Val bit her lip, then nodded to her teacher, who smiled and pulled out a stereo and played Val's music  

[brokenbarrier]

Haruhi began reading books and writing down notes without drawing any attention.  

[Valiant_Moon]

The cd started playing "Almost Here" by Delta Gooderm. Val danced, she acted out the emotions played in both voices singing. The music and her dance brought tears to her eyes, and her teacher even had to pull out a handkerchief to dry her eyes  

[mintages]

Kasanoda began to shed tears like a demon under a waterfall. His whimpering sounded like a roaring battlecry.  

[Valiant_Moon]

Valencia is very graceful. But what she needs to excel in her art is a partner. She needs a male partner who could dance with her, who can keep up. In our class, we have enough males for every girl to have one, but Val can never dance with them. She is to light, and they can never catch on. Lifting her in her leaps, she ends up flying as they end up throwing her accidentally....

Val twirled and ended the dance. Her teacher clapped, applauding her student
