Moon Child Childhood Days

Chapter 1: Dream

Just like any other day, Momiji was in Kawaii Shop making another lovely item. He snipped the sleeve of the dress with a pair of golden scissors and then nodded in approval.

"Perfect."

Momiji held up the new lovely item: a pink Lolita dress with cherry blossom designs. Momiji was beaming at the creation, when Nanato entered the shop.

"Morning Momiji," greeted Nanato in a hearty tone. Momiji looked back at Nanato and greeted him back. Nanato noticed the new dress and smiled.

"I see you made another lovely item."

Momiji nodded and said, "It's an item that will be worn by someone special."

"You mean Sasuke?" asked Nanato. Momiji giggled and winked at Nanato.

"Who knows?"

Momiji placed the dress down. Nanato sat on a close chair and looked at the rack of dresses.

"No matter how many times I see the dresses, they always look beautiful. You have a wonderful talent."

Momiji nodded and said, "You wouldn't believe that I used to hide them from everybody." Nanato looked at Momiji in shock.

"You hid them, but why?"

"Well, I used to go to an old boy school when I was younger and my classmates believed in manliness, so I couldn't show them my lovely items. It was…embarrassing."

Nanato looked back at the dresses and asked, "Then why did you decide to show them later on?" Momiji smiled.

"It was a long time ago when I was seven during the cherry blossom season…"

Momiji, seven-years-old in boy elementary clothes, was sitting in class sketching a dress design in his notebook. Momiji blushed as he looked at his drawing.

Momiji flinched and slammed his notebook shut. He looked at his classmate with flushed cheeks.

"What?"

"What were you drawing?"

Momiji became even redder, but then shook his head and showed a serious look.

"None of your business," he said in a serious tone that sent chills down the student's back. Momiji turned away from him and continued to do his sketch.

Momiji in his school was seen as a striking young man with top grades. He was also the best when it came to sports. He was a man among men, but he had one weakness: cuteness. He designed clothes that were overly cute, but kept it a secret. A man with a secret.

After class that day, Momiji walked home on the cherry blossom path. Cherry blossom pedals fluttered around him. Momiji broke out of his serious mood and pranced around the cherry blossoms.

"So lovely," he chanted. He suddenly heard someone giggling and flinched. He looked behind him and saw a small girl in a preschool uniform looking up at him.

"Hi," greeted the small girl. Momiji waved at her nervously and asked, "Did you see what I was doing?" The small girl nodded. Momiji turned pale and fell to his knees thinking that his image was ruined. The small girl poked his shoulder making him look at her.

"I like your cherry blossom dance, can you show me too?"

Momiji blushed and nodded. Momiji stood up and began to show the same movements he did before she giggled. The small girl imitated each of his moves. Momiji began to have fun with her until he realized something.

"Where did you come from?"

The small girl paused and looked at Momiji with a bright smile.

"I'm lost."

Momiji sighed and said, "How did you get lost?"

"I was playing hide and seek with the other kids and BOOM I was lost," she stated with a nod. Momiji gave out another sigh and said, "Maybe we should go to the police."

"Is police yummy?" asked the small girl. Momiji looked down at her and noticed her stomach growling. Momiji rolled his eyes and said, "My house is close by, so we can get something to eat there." The small girl nodded.

They went to Momiji's house and immediately headed toward the kitchen. Momiji made two instant ramen and handed one to the small girl.

"Eat up and then we can head to the police to find your parents," stated Momiji. The small girl nodded and blew at her ramen.

Momiji ate one noodle and then asked, "So what's your name?" The small girl looked at Momiji with a blank stare and then smiled. She stood on the chair proudly and announced, "I am the great Sirius, the brightest star of all time!" Momiji stared at her and concluded that her name was Sirius.

"Well, my name is Momiji Mabui. Just call me Mabui-San."

"Mabui-San?"

Momiji nodded and began to drink the soup. Sirius giggled and stated, "What a funny name." Momiji choked on his soup. He coughed and then said, "My name is not funny." Sirius giggled.

"It is funny, so can I just call you Momiji, it sounds cuter?"

Momiji pouted and just told her to do what she wanted. Sirius nodded. Sirius finished her ramen fast and then ran out of the kitchen. Momiji gasped and chased after her.

"Where are you going?" called Momiji. Sirius giggled and stated, "I want to see around your house before I go." Momiji turned pale at the thought of Sirius discovering his room. His fears came true when Sirius kicked open his bedroom door.

Momiji's room was filled with dress designs, stuffed animals, and frills. Momiji was completely red as he stared at Sirius. Momiji shut his eyes thinking that Sirius would burst out laughing.

"How cute!"

Momiji looked at Sirius in shock. Sirius ran into Momiji's room looking at his overly cute possessions with admirable eyes.

"You like them?" asked Momiji in surprise. Sirius nodded and looked back at Momiji.

"Everything is so cute. It's like a magic shop," cheered Sirius. Momiji stared at Sirius and then smiled.

"Then how about I make you one lovely item to take home with you," offered Momiji. Sirius's eyes lit up.

"Really?" asked Sirius excitedly. Momiji nodded as he pulled out his sewing kit. Momiji never told anyone, but he could see a person's exact size without a measuring tape with just one look. He immediately began to work on the new item with Sirius watching him.

"You work fast," said Sirius in amazement. Momiji nodded and said, "Of course because I am an expert." Momiji did one final touch to the new item and then held it to Sirius.

"Try it on," urged Momiji. Sirius nodded and took the item. She was about to remove her uniform, but Momiji stopped her blushing madly.

"Wait for me to leave the room," Momiji said quickly. Sirius nodded and watched Momiji leave the room.

Momiji leaned against the closed door with flushed cheeks.

She may be young, but I still need to be a gentleman.

Momiji's door suddenly swung open pushing him forward. Momiji lost his balance and fell on his face. Momiji groaned as he got up.

"Momiji, are you OK?"

Momiji nodded wondering if he was hit by a boulder. He looked at Sirius and blushed. Sirius stood before him in a Lolita dress with rabbit designs at the hem. Momiji held his hands together squealing.

"So Kawaii~! I could just eat you up," squealed Momiji like a little girl. Sirius stared at Momiji. Momiji gasped and cleared his throat.

"You look nice," said Momiji simply. Sirius giggled and did a small curtsy.

"Thank you, Momiji," said Sirius with a bright smile on her face. Momiji stared at her smiling face and felt warmness surround his body. Momiji scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"I'm glad you like it," said Momiji. Sirius nodded and held her hands together.

"You are very talented. If you ever open a shop, I will definitely go there every day," stated Sirius. Momiji smiled.

Momiji and Sirius were soon walking to the police booth. Sirius was back in her uniform with the new dress in her arms. The minute they reached the police booth, Sirius saw her parents and smiled brightly.

"Mommy, Daddy," cheered Sirius. Sirius looked at Momiji and wished him farewell as she ran to her parents who were crying in joy. Momiji watched Sasuke hug her parents and showed a small smile, before leaving. As he walked he thought of her smile and blushed.

Momiji sighed at the memory and added, "It was after meeting Sirius that I decided to show my creations. Of course my classmates thought I was gay, but I didn't care."

Nanato smiled and said, "That's cool. She sounds like a nice girl. Did you ever meet that girl again?" Momiji gave out a sad sigh.

"Alas, I never met her again. She simply vanished," said Momiji sadly. Momiji remembered Sirius' smile and smiled.

"Even though I never saw her again, she helped my dream of owning a shop become reality. You could say that she was my first love."

"First love?"

Momiji nodded and added, "I actually made a promise to myself that I wouldn't love another girl except for Sirius."

"So she's the only girl you will marry?"

Momiji nodded. Nanato chuckled and said, "Hopefully, you'll meet her again." Momiji nodded again.

Nanato placed an index finger to his chin and said, "I just realized something. What that girl said when she said her name sounded oddly familiar." Nanato thought long and hard and then snapped his fingers.

"Now I remember. There was an anime I used to watch as a kid. It was called 'Star Fairies'. It was very popular and the main character was called Sirius. She always said 'she was the great Sirius, the brightest star of all time.' It was her famous introduction."

Momiji looked at Nanato in surprise and asked, "Does that mean Sirius was quoting from an anime she watched?"

"Maybe."

"Wait a minute? Then what is her real name?"

The door to the shop suddenly swung open revealing Sasuke in a star design Lolita dress. Sasuke waved to them.

"Hey Momiji, Kudou-San," greeted Sasuke. Momiji and Nanato greeted her.

"Did you come to buy something?" asked Momiji sweetly. Sasuke scratched the back of her head sheepishly as she held a plastic bag to Momiji.

"I actually came to see if you had this dress design in my size," said Sasuke with a blush against her cheek.

Momiji took the bag and peeked inside it. Momiji's eyes widen when he saw the preschool sized Lolita dress with the rabbit designs in the bag. Momiji looked at Sasuke in shock.

"Where did you get this?"

Sasuke smiled and said, "I got it from a boy when I was five. I don't remember his name or face, but he was kind. I used to wear it almost every day until I out grew it. I kept it though in hope of finding another one just like it."

Momiji gripped the handle of the bag and said, "I can make a dress like this one in no time." Sasuke's smile brightened as she thanked Momiji. She did a small bow and exited the shop.

Momiji looked at the dress again and showed a small smile. Nanato stared at the dress in the bag.

"What do you know? You met your 'Sirius' after all these years, but she's already engaged to someone else. It's a little sad."

Momiji nodded. He stared at the small dress in his hands and remembered Sasuke's smile when he first met her in his shop. A small tear managed to slip out, but he was still smiling.

Sirius allowed me to follow my dream and Sasuke gave me life. They are the same person.

Momiji hugged the dress and said, "I love Sasuke, so I am willing to let her go to be happy with the one she truly loves." Nanato smiled saying that Momiji was a wonderful person. Momiji chuckled as he embraced the dress full of memories.
