Luna sat on the edge of Toshio's bed and sighed. She stared up at the moonlit sky and smiled thinking about Queen Serenity.
"Toshio can finally live a normal life," she smiled at the moon. Queen Serenity smiled down at Luna silently thanking her. Toshio pushed open his bedroom door and tossed his bag to the floor. He stretched then sat on the floor in front of his table.
"Luna," he smiled, "today was a good day." Luna jumped on the floor and listened to Toshio as he recounted his day to her. Luna listened carefully and silently. Finally he stretched and laid back on the floor. A soft smile spread across his face thinking about his friends.
"Toshio," his mother called from the bottom of the steps, "don't forget to finish any homework you have." Toshio threw a quiet tantrum kicking his feet and flailing his arms around.
"Alright, mom," he called back as he glared over at his school bag. He crossed his arms and pouted. "I hate homework so much," he sighed as he pulled out his school books. He cracked open his Mathematics book and stared down at the problems. "When am I ever going to need this?"
"Eliana," a guy knocked at her door and pushed it open, "are you finish with your homework?" Eliana turned and looked at him. She chewed on the top of her pen and smiled.
"I'm almost done, Kei," she smiled staring at the tall silver haired guy. His silver eyes smiled back at her and he closed the door behind him as he left her room. He stood outside her door and shook his head.
"She's very focused today," Kei said to himself. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a cooper brown head of hair bouncing his way. The guy bounced up to him and smiled.
"Good evening, Kei," he blushed and adverted his emerald green eyes to the ground. Kei pulled the guy close and whispered in his ear,
"Good evening, Zui. How are you tonight?" Zui blushed and brushed his brown hair out of his face.
"I'm doing well," he felt his face turn red. He nodded towards Eliana's bedroom door. "How is her studying going?"
"Very well," Kei said as he released Zui, "she seems focused this evening." He picked Zui up and held him in his arms. "Let's leave her alone to study." Zui nodded and hid his face from Kei as Kei carried him toward their room. Eliana giggled and pushed herself away from the door.
"I want a love like theirs," she gushed and bounced back on her canopy bed. She looked up at the golden linen that Kei had draped across her canopy and smiled. She slid her hand under the cover and pulled out a gold and silver pendant. She caressed the golden sun and the silver moon gently then held it over her heart and smiled. "I hope I find a love like theirs in this lifetime," she whispered quietly. A knock at her door interrupted her little moment and Eliana slid off the bed and back to her stack of books.
"Eliana," a blonde woman peeked her head around the door. She spotted Eliana on the floor and smiled. "You should get some sleep now," she cooed softly, "you have school in the morning."
"Yes, Jade," Eliana replied and set her pen down on the table. She packed her books up in her bag then laid her bag by the bedroom door. Jade pushed the door open and held out her arms for a hug. "Good night, Jade," Eliana smiled and hugged Jade.
"Good night, Eliana," Jade smiled back and ruffled Eliana's blonde locks. Eliana climbed in bed and pulled her yellow sheets up to her neck. Jade flicked the light off and closed the door. "She is such a precious girl," Jade smiled to herself. Eliana pulled the pendant out from under her pillow then walked over to the window and sat on the ledge staring up at the moon. She held the pendant close to her heart and sighed.
"I always feel so lonely when I look up at the moon," her heart ached softly and she closed her eyes leaning against the window frame. Her lips tingled softly envisioning a blonde guy kissing her lips. She allowed a soft smile to spread on her lips. "Somewhere out there is the guy for me," she whispered to the moon.
"You know," Toshio smiled up at the moon talking to Luna, "I think this is going to be the best year ever." Luna nodded in agreement and curled up by his pillow. Toshio flung himself back on the bed and closed his eyes. "The best year ever."
"Come back here," the guy screamed as he chased behind the little blonde girl. She rounded the corner and continued running through the streets. The rain beat down on the ground and showered her. She entered an old abandoned building and listened as the guy rushed past the building. "Where did she go?" The little girl held her breath and covered her mouth. His footsteps passed the building and she sighed a bit relieved. She clutched her plushie tightly and curled into a ball.
"I'm going to find it, Mama," she whispered to herself, "I promise." The next morning Eliana walked to school with Kei and Zui, her other two companions stayed home because Norio wasn't feeling too well. She felt the sun beam down on her warming her to her core. Eliana's short blonde hair blew lightly in the breeze. Kei and Zui whispered between each other and occasionally Zui's face would turn red from embarrassment at Kei's words. Eliana stopped suddenly in front of an old abandoned building and just stared at it quietly. Suddenly a little blonde girl came running out and plowed right into Eliana. The little girl clung to Eliana's right leg tightly and closed her yellow eyes. Eliana tried prying the girl off her leg.
"Kei, Zui, a little help here," she called to them. Kei and Zui turned around and rushed to Eliana. They successfully pried the little girl off Eliana's leg. Zui held her up in the air.
"What's the big idea attacking Eliana?" Zui questioned the girl.
"Let go of me," she screamed as she started kicking and flailing wildly. The little girl freed herself from Zui's hands and ran down the street.
"Such a weirdo," Zui sighed and looked at Kei and Eliana. Kei knelt in front of Eliana and smiled at her. Zui folded his arms and pouted a bit jealous. Eliana looked past Kei and giggled at Zui's reaction.
"No need to be jealous," Eliana smiled as she stood to her feet, "Kei only has eyes for you." Eliana patted Zui on the back and continued walking towards her school. Kei offered a pink rose to Zui and smiled at him.
"You know she's right," Kei smiled at his lover and held the rose in front of his face. Zui took the rose and smiled brightly at Kei. "My heart beats for you only, Zoicite." Zui blushed and pushed Kei playfully. Hearing his name sent chills down his spine.
"Come on you slowpokes," Eliana teased, "save all that love for when you're home alone." She winked at them and rounded the corner. After escorting her to school Zui and Kei headed back for the estate. Jade flung the door open and smiled brightly at them.
"Did she make it to school alright?" She asked as they handed her their jackets.
"She did," Kei laughed and shook his head. Jade placed her hands on her delicate hips and pouted at Kei.
"What's so funny?" She inquired.
"The fact that you were reincarnated as a woman," Kei laughed loudly tossing his head back.
"I think I make a great woman," Jade growled, "much better than you ever would." Kei rolled his eyes and walked out of the foyer. "Don't forget to clean your part of the house," Jade called behind him then turned to Zui. "Do you have something you want to say?" Jade's shadow loomed over Zui causing him to become uneasy. Zui shook his head rapidly. "Good," Jade smiled, "now let's get that rose in some water." She plucked the rose from Zui's fingers and placed it in the vase on the dining room table. Zui hurried out of the foyer and up to the room he shared with Kei.
"Jadeite makes a pretty testy woman," Kei sighed as he laid back on the bed. Zui climbed into the bed and slid close to Kei.
"You would be too," Zui laughed quietly.
"Would you love me any less if I were a woman?" Kei inquired of Zui.
"Of course not," Zui blushed and caressed Kei's face gently. "I'd love you the same, Kunzite." Kei pressed his lips against Zui's in a passionate kiss. He wrapped his arms around Zui's waist and held him close never wanting to let go. Finally the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
"Akio," Toshio called running up to him after school, "where are you heading now?"
"Over to Ren's," he smiled.
"Good," Toshio smiled back, "we can go together." Minoru came running up to them.
"Everyone heading to Ren's?" He inquired. The two guys nodded. "We can all go together," he smiled linking arms with Toshio. Toshio smiled and linked his arm with Akio. The three guys began heading to the Hikawa Shrine. Down the street from the Shrine Toshio spotted Takashi and Mayu. Takashi stood talking to a short haired blonde girl.
"Toshi-chan," Mayu called out waving at him as Takashi continued talking with the blonde girl. "Wait for me!" Toshio smiled and waited for Mayu. She dashed up to him and hugged him tightly. "I have missed you," she smiled.
"It hasn't been that long since we've seen each other," Toshio smiled back. Toshio looked over at Takashi and the blonde then down at Mayu. "Who's that woman he's with?" Toshio inquired.
"No idea," Mayu shrugged and pouted, "But I think she's flirting with my Taka-chan." Takashi and the blonde exchanged goodbyes and she disappeared around the corner. Takashi walked over to Mayu and greeted Toshio then knelt down in front of a still pouting Mayu.
"What?" He inquired as he stared at her. "She's just a friend from school," he assured her and grabbed her hand. He kissed it gently then smiled at her. "We're destined for each other, remember?" Mayu smiled at Takashi and hugged him tightly. "I expect you to come home right after you're done here," he said to her. Mayu nodded and kissed his forehead. Takashi waved goodbye to them then headed down the street.
"Ready to go?" Toshio smiled down at Mayu. She looked up at him and nodded. The two of them headed up the Shrine steps and were greeted by their friends. Eliana walked down the street by herself heading toward her estate. In her ears echoed someone else's footsteps. Whenever she stopped the steps behind her stopped too. She spun around and braced for an attack.
"You're that little girl from before," she gasped looking at the little girl.
"Who are you?" The little girl shouted pointing to Eliana.
"My name is Eliana," she replied and stared at the girl.
"This kid is a weirdo," she thought to herself. The little girl dashed up to her and grabbed her hand.
"Eliana, I need help," she whispered, "will you help me?" Eliana stared down at the girl a bit uneasily. "My name is Nima," the girl finally said as she stared up at Eliana, "you'll help me right?"
"I guess," Eliana responded. Nima gave Eliana's hand a squeeze and smiled.
"Great," Nima smiled up at Eliana with a huge smile, "now let's get going." Nima tugged on Eliana's hand, but Eliana didn't budge.
"I actually have some homework I have to do," Eliana whispered and stared at the blonde headed little girl. Nima turned and looked at Eliana then sighed.
"Then let's go get your homework done," she groaned. Eliana led Nima to her estate and stood outside the front gate. Nima's eyes grew wide as she stared at the estate. "You live here?" Nima inquired. Eliana nodded and pushed the gate open. Nima followed behind her as they headed to the front door. Suddenly the front doors flew open and Jade stood there smiling.
"Eliana," she cooed, "I'm so glad you're home. I was terribly worried." Jade's gaze shifted from Eliana to Nima. "Oh, who's your little friend?" Nima cowered behind Eliana as she peeked up at Jade.
"Her name is Nima," Eliana smiled. Eliana entered the house and Nima followed behind her. Jade watched quietly as the girls ascended up the stairs and to Eliana's room. After hearing the door close she paced back and forth a bit worried.
"Jade," Kei called as he entered the foyer. He paused and stared at Jade. "What's wrong?" Jade pointed up the stairs.
"There's a little girl with a strong aura in the room with Eliana," she said, "I didn't say anything to Eliana because she claimed the girl was a friend." Jade began panicking, "what if she does something to Eliana?"
"Calm down," Kei tried quieting Jade, "the whole house will be in an uproar if you don't calm down. We'll keep an eye on her." Jade nodded as her eyes traveled up the stairs with Kei. "A little girl with a strong aura," Kei thought to himself, "who could she be?"
