Tonight was the night! The Snow Ball was finally taking place and Dante could decide whether to be ecstatic or terribly, terribly nervous. The day itself had been a bit or an ordeal in and of itself though to be honest. Dante had managed to stay out of the way and in his room for most of it thankfully. His mother was preoccupied with helping his younger sisters get ready because they of course were going as well. That had taken any unwanted attention off of the blonde pretty damn sufficiently and also meant that he was able to get dressed in peace without anyone checking in on him. He was seventeen, he knew how to put on a tie by himself by now, not that it stopped his mother from straightening it before he, Felicia, and Guiliana left the house. Yes, it was unfortunate that he also had to play escort to his two younger sisters, but it was only for the journey there and back. The two youngest members of the Giovanni family had made it immensely clear that he was not to babysit them while they were actually at the dance, much to Dante’s relief. That would be disastrous having to divide his attention up between his sisters and Natsuki. It would also end rather badly since he had no doubt that if Nat thought for even an instant that he was ignoring her that he would be in big trouble. Still, picking her up from the Shibusen dorms had been nothing short of harrowing. His sisters never ceased their chattering the entire walk there. They’d never actually met Natuski and were understandably excited, “So what does she look like? She’s pretty right? Of course she’s pretty, you’d never ask out anyone who wasn’t drop dead gorgeous.”“Shut up, Felicia.”“Is she in the NOT class too or is she better than you at everything? The look on your face says yes.”“Stop it, Guiliana!”“Oh, I wonder what she’ll be wearing!”“What do you think she’ll wear, Dante? Is she the proper type or is she gonna be all short skirts and high heels, because that would be amazing.”“If I give you each five dollars, will you go play in traffic?”“I’m telling mom you said that.”’“Yeah me too, you’re the worst big brother ever.”“Neither of you are going to tell on me and you know it.”“How’s that?”“Because I can’t make you two tiramisu on your birthdays anymore if mom kills me.”That had been sufficient enough for the two girls to shut up thankfully. At least for a little while. Of course they couldn’t keep their mouth shut for long, Dante just tried to tune them out for the rest of the journey to Nat’s dorm. If he could ignore them he may actually keep his sanity for the rest of the night but if he continued to listen to the two he may have wound up ditching them earlier than expected. This was nothing though. The walk back home would be even worse if he knew his sisters as well as he thought he did. Dante knew this was just them revving up for the unavoidable barrage of questions he’d face on the way home once the night was over. However, they had at last reach Nat’s dorm. It was near enough to the school that lights could be seen from Shibusen and faint music could also be heard. Hopefully they weren’t missing too much. Having ceased to walk, Dante leaned up against the building and texted up to Natsuki that he was waiting for her.

Nat had to have been up most of the day just getting ready for this dance thing and she didn't seem to mind it. She had a lot of things she had to do before her date got there to pick her up and they went off to the dance. She woke up rather early, which hadn't been much of a problem for her because she was a morning person anyway. She was sent a text early in the morning demanding that she got on her computer so that her family could skype her as well. They just seemed to want to do nothing but bother her while she got ready for the Snow Ball.
They didn't seem to have moment when they weren't going to criticize her about what she was doing or in her older brother's case something embarrassing. Nat wasn't someone that could budge easy when it came to blushing and getting flustered but something she absolutely loathed about her older brother was that he had that ability. He was a year older than her so he knew practically everything about her and so he had that dirt to provoke such a reaction out of her. Her parents didn't seem to have much to say in the criticize department though until it came for her to do her hair or when her dad asked about her date. Her mom was yelling at her about how to curl her hair in the proper manner and at the same time her dad was being a typical dad asking a bunch of questions about Dante.
Natsuki took a liking to when they left the computer alone and her younger siblings came on to talk to her. She sighed in relief as they watched her do her makeup and paint her finger nails because they weren't nearly as annoying. They more or less tried to troll her about what her parents had said and were asking about her date in a less imposing manner like their dad had. Anyone who was anyone knew that trolling Nat was like the worst idea ever so her siblings should know better and yet they still tried. She just trolled back ten times worse not even breaking out a sweat but in the end she just smiled and told them good job.
They were Nat's little siblings after all and she was proud to admit to this because they were indeed little trolls in the making. Her family finally all left the computer and she was left with just her big brother again. She sighed as he just sat there smiling at her and almost punched her computer when she heard him say she looked terrifying. WHAT DID HE KNOW?! With a huff and an angry goodbye she shut her laptop and pulled on the boots she was going to wear with her dress as it was the last thing left and sat on her bed waiting for Dante's text saying he was there.
It wasn't long after she had sat down to relax a tiny bit before heading off to the ball she received the text she had been waiting for. She sent a quick reply back to him as a grin came upon her face and she double checked herself in the mirror. She didn't want her brother being so rude having messed up her outfit and especially not when her hot, sexy date was there waiting for her. She left her room in a jiffy stuffing her phone into her bra like she usually did and was at the door leading out of the dorms in no time. She walked outside and her eyes fell upon Dante and two girls who she assumed were his sisters; they looked like him a tiny bit.
"Whoa~! Hey there sexy~~" Nat said in greeting to Dante as she walked over to him and looked him up and down. "And who are these cuties~?" She continued as she looked at his younger sisters with a smile on her face.

Dante had known that Nat would be downstairs quickly but he didn’t notice her come outside at all. She really was a ninja. Hearing her address him, the blonde blushed a rather dark shade of red which was of course his sisters’ cue to giggle. Felicia nudged him in the side and winked,
“Cattura nizza, fratello. Lei è bellissima.”
“Ma può cucinare?”
“Tranquillo, tutti e due!”
In terms of trying not to be nervous, his sisters were helping Dante absolutely none with their banter. He turned to Natsuki to try and stutter a reply but actually seeing her all dressed up didn’t help at all. If anything the Italian turned even redder if possible and managed a shy smile,
“Veramente bella...erm, I mean um, you look beautiful, Natuski.”
Oh wait, his sisters were still around weren’t they? Even more terrifying was that Nat was asking who they were. Wonderful, introduce the troll so they could join forces against him. There wasn’t much Dante could do about that now, though. Sighing, and stepps back a bit and waved a hand towards his sisters and went about introducing them,
“The two chuckling chipmunks over here are my little sisters, Felicia and Guiliana.”
Being called a small rodent made Felicia immeidately stop laughing and glare at her brother while Guiliana just shrugged. Yeah, he’d definitely be hearing about that later but for now he wasn’t going to worry about it. Guiliana waved at Nat and smiled, as did Felicia once she was through sending death glares at Dante,
“E 'bello conoscerti.”
“Yeah, what she said. Nice to meet you.”
Dante was glad the two weren’t being as embarrassing as they could be. Once they got to the actual dance he had no doubt that they’d simply run off, or at least that’s what he hoped. He didn’t want to wind up playing babysitter for the entire night, that was never any fun. Still, he wouldn’t put it past his sisters to try and make him miserable and makehim look a fool. They certainly made a point to do things like that on a daily basis, why would tonight be any different?
Looking to Natuski once again, Dante supposed they should probably get going. Being around the dorms, Shibusen wasn’t all that far off and music could in fact be heard or at least the base could. Doing his very best to act like a gentleman, the blonde held out his arm for Natsuki and smiled,
“Now that the introductions are over, shall we get going? Judging by the music coming from Shibusen’s general direction, I’d say the party’s already started.”

Who would expect anything less than a smile to grace Natsuki's lips as she noticed Dante's blush? Just about anyone really. She may be a ninja but at times she could be really rather predictable. It was funny really. But she was easily entertained by the blushing people especially Dante. All she could ever really do about them is grin and tease them.
It seemed she wasn't the only one after embarrassing the poor blonde though. His sisters as she had been assuming seemed to giggle in response to him blushing at Natsuki's words. One even took the effort to nudge him in the side and wink at him while speaking going on to say something in Italian. Those fancy words were lost on her as per usual so what the three siblings were saying to each other was completely unknown to her. She just stood there not awkwardly though like a wonderful ninja girl that she was and waited for them to finish.
It didn't take them very long, which made Natsuki happy. She didn't like being kept out of the loop and she had tendencies when she was too. She didn't want to end up trolling Dante to death she already trolled and teased him enough. He turned to look at her obviously about to say something to her but he ended up turning an even darker shade of red and the grin on her face just got wider. He managed to give a shy smile to her and started out saying something in Italian then quickly shifted back to English.
"Well thank you, Dante~" Natsuki said with a smile instead of a grin doing a curtsy that probably looked awfully silly coming from her. "I'd tell you that you look sexy but I already said that~ Although it couldn't help to remind you~" She continued on back to her normal teasing self; she just couldn't help herself.
Nat was subtly awaiting to be introduced to the two adorable blonde girls that he had brought with him. They were giggling away like little school girls and they seemed to make a game out of messing with Dante as well so they must be his sisters. It was the only thing that made sense after all and she, herself, knew what it was like being a little sister as well as how much fun it was to troll her brother. She heard him sigh then watch him step back a bit and wave a hand at his sisters as he introduced them as chuckling chipmunks. She just let out a little laugh at the comment and nodded her head at the two of them.
One didn't seem all too pleased to be called a chipmunk and went about glaring daggers at Dante and the other girl just shrugged it off. They were so cute! That was her first and foremost reaction to them honestly. They both waved at her, the one who had decided to glare at Dante speaking in Italian, and the one who shrugged saying in English that it was nice to meet her; she needed to make a note to learn Italian some time. She grinned at the two of them and then group hugged the both of them as this was her way of showing affection.
"You two are just the cutest~!" Nat said in a sing song voice. "You're both about my little sisters' age~ Are you two wonderfully trolly to Dante~?" She continued practically gushing over them but she let them out of her hug before she death hugged them.
Natsuki wondered what their reaction to her hugging them and calling them cute would be. She had already said something about them being cute but it was more official now because she was introduced to them. She'd have fun talking about bugging older brothers with them even though and probably even give them tips. She found it fun to troll older siblings but she would feel a tad bit bad for Dante. She'd make it up to him though.
She looked over at him when she heard him speak again and smiled at him. It was only polite to return his smile and all. He was asking if they all should get going since the introductions were out of the way. She giggled at his comment about the party having already started and thought about how Bang was already there. It was a party when that girl showed up and it'd be a double party once Nat got there as well then a triple party with Misaki.
"Bang's there of course its a party. It'll be even better when we get there and Misaki too~" Natsuki said with a grin and took a hold of his arm. "I hope you've met Bang already, Dante, because that girl is wild! And she's crazy. I promised her a dance if you don't mind~" She continued on her grin only getting wider once again.

Oh man, there went Nat again making him blush. He really needed to get used to this but he supposed it was a honed skill. Plus she probably only said such things just to make him blush in the first place. Not really knowing how to respond to his date calling him sexy, the blonde just hunched his shoulders and nodded while trying not to turn as red as a tomato,
“Y-yeah.”
He wasn’t surprised when Nat hugged both of his sisters. Dante knew that she would probably get along with them just fine, unfortunately this meant the three of them would likely team up to troll him collectively. He only hoped he could handle it. Felicia laughed and threw her arms around Nat while Guiliana squirmed a bit before turning a bit red like her brother. The older of the two Giovanni sisters was the first to speak up,
“I’m glad you think so, but I must say you are very pretty miss Yoshida. Yeah, we troll Dante lots.”
Guiliana cast a glance over at her brother,
“Oh the stories we could tell you.”
Dante sighed. Yeah, he should’ve expected that,
“Stories you will never tell if you ever want me to cook for you ever again.”
“Aw, you’re no fun big brother!”
To be fair, there were only a few stories that were really bad. Mainly the ones involving their younger years where his sisters had tied him up and dressed him in drag for Halloween one year, going to far as to call him Diana for the entire rest of the day. Then again there was also the incident of the great frosting explosion but that wasn’t embarrassing so much as disastrous and hell to clean up. The worst that could happen was that Nat and his sisters got together for embarrassing Dante story time, but he guessed he could deal with that. They couldn’t troll him forever right? He hoped not.
Dante had no idea who Bang was, but he’d heard her mentioned before. He knew Misaki was Nat’s best friend just from talking to her before. Chuckling a bit, Dante shook his head,
“I don’t think I’ve met Bang, and I certainly don’t mind if you dace with her. I can’t just keep the amazing Natsuki all to myself, that’d be selfish of me!”
Now that the initial butterflies of seeing Nat all dolled up had worn off, Dante could manage to actually be somewhat charming, or at least he could try. He could talk, he knew that, Nat just usually found some way of rendering incapable of speech, usually because he was blushing and stuttering all over the place. She just knew how to get him flustered, but that was okay by him.

Excellent there he went blushing again. She absolutely loved it when she was able to send him off on a blushing spree. It was like her favorite hobby or something. He hunched his shoulders a bit while nodding and saying yeah with a bit of a stutter to it. Well, at least he agreed with her on the matter of him being sexy. She was sure that wasn't the case but what else could he say to her? She'd definitely would just have kept it going if he were to deny that fact.
His sisters were such cuties! One of his sister's laughed when Nat hugged the both of them and threw her arms around her to return it. His other sister seemed to be more like her older brother although she squirmed in the hug her face also lit up. That was a wonderful response honestly! It almost made her miss her little sisters and her little brother. They always reacted as such when she hugged them because she usually did it to embarrass them in front of their friends. Her big brother was another case though since he managed to do that to Nat instead believe it or not.
After she let go of the Giovanni sisters, she was greeted with an answer to her question about whether they trolled him or not. It made a smile come onto her face and she tried to hold back one of her mad laughs. She had a habit of using several different laughs after all and this one in particular was very nutty. She was not only received an answer to her question but a compliment as well and it made a big grin grace her lips. It made his sisters seem a whole cuter from that comment although she didn't like being called Miss Yoshida. It was too polite and formal for her!
"Thank you!" Natsuki said in response to the compliment she was given. "Please please just call me Nat! Or you could call me Onee-chan if you would like~!!" She continued on correcting them although the Japanese would probably wind up lost on them.
Natsuki laughed a bit more when she heard one of his sisters say something about the stories they could tell her about their trolling escapades. This caused some protest from Dante who sighed and threatened them with never cooking for them again. Felicia piped in after this claiming that he was no fun but that was to be expected. He was a big brother that was what he was meant to do no offense to him after since he was much better than her older brother. Their point in life was to be a bit grumpy frumpy bumpy bear when you leave them but always be that pain in the butt to make sure you're okay.
"It's okay girls. You can tell me all about them later." Natsuki said with a smile directed at them. "I'll be sure to keep your brother at bay~" She continued as she looked at Dante and winked at him.
The question she had asked to him about whether he knew Bang or not was finally answered with a tiny chuckle and a shake of his head. How could he not know about the great and wonderful Bang!? Oh well maybe that was her fault. She'd make absolute sure that she'd introduce him to her weapon and possibly warn him about her. She was certainly wild and from what she had heard about the last ball from Misaki she had a habit of randomly making out with people. She didn't mind in her case but it might traumatize Dante if he wasn't prepared for such an action. At least he was fine with her saving a dance for Bang, which she had thought he would be fine with. It was great to know. He said, of course, that he couldn't keep the amazing Natsuki all to himself as that would be selfish.
"Well I'll make sure to introduce you to her! She's my weapon after all and I warn you of her surprise make outs officially now." Natsuki explained to him. "Oh but its okay for you to be selfish though Dante~ Keeping me all to yourself would be quite fun~" She continued with a sly grin coming onto her face.

Dante could gather enough from having heard Natsuki say random stuff in Japanese before that Onee-chan meant big sister, but he still made a mental note to try and learn Japanese himself at some point. He’d already learned French, Greek, and several others, he may as well add Japanese to the already long list, especially if it meant he could have another way to talk to Nat. Not that he’d stop occasionally lapsing into Italian. Even if it was generally accidental due to excitement or something, he was fairly certain that Nat liked it. His sisters seemed to like the idea thought, both nodding although Felicia only went so far as to try and pronounce what Natsuki had just said,
“Onee-chan? Hm, I like it! I think I will call you that, Onee-chan.”
The stories thing still had him worried. Mainly how Natsuki claimed she’d keep him at bay and then winked at him, making Dante’s face heat up again as he quickly took interest in kicked at the ground. This girl was going to be the death of him, but he supposed that he was just fine with that. Death at the hands of a beauty was nothing to be ashamed of in Dante’s opinion, although death by embarrassment and heart palpitations may not be necessarily enjoyable. Guiliana snickered and elbowed Felicia in the side,
“Look, he’s blushing again.”
Felicia nodded and waggled her eyebrows before glancing at Nat,
“I’m sure he wouldn’t oppose to you tying him up while we talk to you.”
Dante couldn’t fainted but remained standing, although he did sound a bit shrill reprimanding his sisters,
“Per l'amor di Dio, Felicia, un po 'decenza!” ((For the love of God, Felicia, have some decency!))
Of course that only earned him a round of maniacal cackling from his oldest little sister, but he had to say something, right? The blonde tried not to think of the multiple ways Nat could potentially keep his sisters from spilling the beans on several family stories that really should remain in photo albums, never to see the light of day again. Then again all she’d really have to do was smile at him and Dante would be instantly distracted, but that was beside the point!
The prospect of meeting Natsuki’s Weapon was a bit exciting. To be partnered with her, he expected nothing less than explosive energy which he could certainly handle. The surprise make outs did make him wonder just what kind of girl this Bang person was, though. He was confident that he could handle meeting her, but the more Natsuki talked about her, he couldn’t help but just be a bit nervous. She wasn’t totally serious about the make outs right? Dante guessed he would find out at some point whether he wanted to or not. He’d had something charming lined up to say, being Italian of course, but then Nat had to add to her statement and there went Dante’s entire thought process.
Darn this girl and that sly grin of hers! If at all possible Dante’s face reddened even further as he tried to stutter a response,
“T-that it w-would, Nat.”
Oh yeah, he was screwed. Two trolls in training plus Nat? Dante would be lucky to survive the evening at this rate. At least the youngest of the Giovanni family would disappear once they got to the dance. His sisters ditching him at some point was inevitable, and Dante looked forward to it if only for the peace that would follow. Not too much peace sine Natsuki would still be there, but he was fairly certain he could handle anything she threw his way. At least he hoped he could. Thankfully the two seemed quiet for now, although they were still giggling at the look on his face. Clearing his throat and trying not to look quite so much like a strawberry that someone had tossed into an oven, the blonde timidly offered Natsuki his arm,
“Trolling aside, shall we?”
