Escort Services(Rin Minamoto)

It was an unusually sunny, late afternoon at the castle of storms. Rin was getting ready to attend a ball for nobles that was to take place in Era. Rin was attending this ball for a mission she picked up at the guild hall. She was to be the date for a young nobleman, who had personality issues. The pay wasn't great but great pay or not, she needed some money. Her maids helped Rin into a beautiful gold and black ball gown that had been prepared for her in advance. Her maids did her her hair and make up as well. With her dress she wore a pair of golden stilettos. Once finished getting ready, she thanked her maids for their help and headed out. She went down to the docks and climbed aboard the boat docked there and headed for hargeon town where she was to be picked up and taken to the ball. Once, in Hargeon town, there was an elderly looking man waiting by a car. He was to drive her to Era for the ball. On the way, Rin began to wonder what this nobleman was like. From what the client told her, he had lost his mother at a young age and became quite anti-social and stuck up. The client wanted to see him be able to smile again. Then the car stopped, for they had arrived. The driver got out of the car, and opened the door for Rin. She stepped out, being sure her long ball gown didn't drag on the dirty ground and looked up to see a large, lavish castle-like building towering before her. There was elegant music pouring out the windows of this place. She look around hoping to find her "date", but no sign. So she proceeded inside as the car drove away.

The ballroom was full of glamorous diamonds and gold trimming and those were just the other people. The ballroom itself, had a pearly white and glamorous golden color scheme with guest dancing on magic platforms that were floating in mid air. It was a real sight to behold. Beautiful crystal chandeliers, hung from the ceiling shining brightly make the entire room light up. Her gold and black ball gown was shimmering in the chandelier's light. Then suddenly, a male voice called out to her. "excuse me but, are you Rin Minamoto?" Rin turned around to see a young nobleman dressed in black and gold with soft blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes. She quickly and nervously replied "y-yes, but how did you know my name?" He smirked, "Because you're the dumb girl who's supposed to be my date tonight, duh.." That remark made Rin furious, but she had to control herself. She thought "Remember Rin, he went through hardships, he had a tough life, I have to be nice no matter how much I want to strike him with lightening." She took a deep breath "Y-yes, I'm Rin, its a pleasure to meet you." she said as she curtsied to him. He then bowed and replied "yes, I know it a pleasure to meet me, My name is Len Ichinomiya."

They went to sit down at a table, Rin didn't feel like dancing with this stuck-up jerk. Rin then stood up and said "I'm going to go get something to eat" and headed for the food table. She came back five minutes later with a plate of food and some punch. She began to eat her food while Len sat there watching her, he noticed how she ate her food quite lady-like. He thought to himself "this girl must have been taught good manners..." Rin finished eating several minutes later. Then drank her juice. "hey, do you want to go dance? This IS a ball, isn't it?" She hesitated for a second then, decided, she might as well. They both stood up and began to walk towards the magic platforms. Once they stepped onto it, it began to magically rise. Rin being a klutz, fell into him and he caught her. "Hey Rin, you're really..." She looked up at him "Really what?" He replied "flat-chested aren't you?" Now Rin was FURIOUS. Before she knew it, she had struck Len with her lightning spell. "WAAHH!" The platform lowered back onto the ground and Rin walked off. She was simply appalled by his rude and tactless comment. Len finally came to 5 minutes later and went to look for Rin.

Rin, out on a balcony was crying. "why did I ever take this stupid job in the first place? That jerk is sooo rude, how can someone like him, have been a nice person ever?!" She continued to cry. Then Len finally found her "rin!" he called out to her. She quickly dried her tears and turned around, "what do you want?" It was rather obvious that she had been crying and Len could see that as he walked over to her. Rin was prepared to tell him to get lost when he bowed his head "I'm sorry!" Rin couldn't believe what she was seeing and hearing. He continued, "I crossed a line, I shouldn't had been so rude and tactless as I was to you. It's just, ever since my mom died, I haven't been very good at dealing with people, nor have I been able to make any real friends." Rin understood how he felt, she understood that from what he told her, that he's had a tough life. Rin then patted Len on the head and said "Look Len, I understand you've had a tough life, but regardless, you need to treat others with the same kindness, you want to be treated with."
"If you want to make friends, that's what it's gonna take." She smiled softly at him. He looked up at her her smiling face, he couldn't explain this feeling in his heart, all he knew was that he wanted to make Rin his so before she knew it, he kissed her. Rin couldn't believe it but for some reason she didn't fight back. After that he looked her in the eyes, "You're the first girl, who's accepted me and treated me with kindness, Rin." Rin couldn't look away, she was so confused by what just happened to her.

Shortly after that, they decided to go back and try dancing again. Still shook up by what happened, they stepped onto one of the magic platforms again and the next song started up. It was a waltz song and so a waltz it was that they danced. Len and Rin were both quite good at dancing. Rin was taught ballroom dancing by demyx at a young age. The other people on the other platforms stopped dancing and watched them. They ended up as the center of attention and Rin became the bell of the ball. They danced together so gracefully. Rin still didn't know why he kissed her back then and it made her heart hurt. Maybe, that kiss made Rin fall for him, but she didn't even know herself. after dancing for so long, they decided to go back and sit at the table for awhile. Rin couldn't bring herself to look Len in the eyes, it was so nerve-wracking sitting there with him, alone.

Time flew by quickly, and before they knew it, the ball had ended. Len walked Rin outside to where the car that had brought Rin to the ball had returned to pick her up. Len looked at Rin and smiled softly at her, she was surprised because it was the first time she seen his smile. Len then, kissed her on the cheek and said "thank you so much for the wonderful evening Miss Rin, I can't remember the last time I was this happy." She began to blush big time but shook it off, smiled and said "And I'm glad i was able to see your smile Len." They both smiled at each other. They then said goodbye as Rin got into the car and drove off. She had a lot of fun on this job and was happy she took it even though she knew she would probably never see Len ever again. The car arrived back in Hargeon around midnight, letting Rin out, she thanked the driver and headed home. [finished]
