Moonlight Dessert

Chapter 1: moonless night

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in the story except for Shuura Kairi

Note: I wrote it on actual paper, and drew a doujinshi for it (the doujin was created first)

Yako stared at the starry sky intently, but something seemed to be missing, just like how Neuro left her without a sayonara. It was the moon. This time, Yako had taken Kanae with her in order to investigate the Crystal Castle, which was a castle that contained demonic power. It was also partially made into an inn, and staying there wasn't too bad, either. She was hopeful that she would see Neuro there because of the numerous legends that she heard about the castle. "Kanae, what part of the castle should be explored through first though? We can't just run around and let those stupid cops catch us, so we need a plan." The two friends chatted on the balcony of Yako's room. "Oh, don't worry that much! We'll be able to survive as long as we have the anti-demon diamond spears. I'll probably run through the Demon infested secret chamber, but according to the legends, barely anyone survived long enough to share their discoveries. The demons that infest the chamber are also said to strike at weary travelers when the Emerald moon is displayed on the night sky." Kanae replied playfully. "But, Yako, you should get something to eat before we lash out tonight. I wouldn't want to drag you along the dark hallways if you faint … Yako?" As expected, Yako was gone in the blink of an eye.

It was too late when Kanae arrived in the French restaurant. Yako had finished 67 cups of vanilla pudding, 12 black forest chocolate cakes, and tortured the poor chef enough with her orders. Before Yako could finish the piece of dark chocolate in her fingers, Kanae snatched it away. "Yako… You are practically eating like a pig! We need to pack the tools needed for tonight's adventure!" Kanae yelled fiercely. How could Yako ever forget? It was mandatory to find Neuro. "Okay! I'm sorry! But you'll have to pay for me!" Yako turned away happily after her afternoon tea time, while Kanae's face turned five shades the color of burning fire. After they returned to their rooms, midnight had struck. They each picked up their own diamond spear and each packed a small bag with their own belongings.

It was 12:00pm already, so they scurried along the bushes in order to hide from the police. They humiliated them selves by rolling, flipping, or crawling under bushes, otherwise, they would be caught red handed by the police. Finally, they reached the garden pathway to the entrance. "Um…Yako, do you think you're ready for this? Kanae whispered quietly. "Yes." Yako replied with confidence. I hope Kanae won't be too surprised when she knows my real intention, but onto finding Neuro first, though. Yako thought. "Yako, look. The Emerald moon actually exists. Now I'm starting to wonder what kind of bogus we'll find in there." Kanae commented. Yako had not noticed it until now, and it was there, sturdily planted into the dark blue night sky, as if representing Neuro's eye. It also multiple rings in it, giving it a wheel like appearance. Ugh, now the weird surroundings are eating up a lot of time, just get the hell over this. The moment Yako set foot on the blue crystal path, a sound like a sneer could be heard from behind them. It sounded awfully familiar. "Kanae, did you hear that?" "Yeah. It sounded soft, yet it contained a demonic hiss…" The two girls dashed down the path at full speed, and rolled down a set of spiraled stairs. They ended up in a heap at the bottom of the stairs, with Kanae mumbling about being crushed by a pig. Another menacing sneer could be heard from above. The creepy voice of cackling demons could be heard loud and clear. A pitch black path rolled out in front of them into the seemingly never ending darkness. Suddenly, Yako's cell phone rang with a spooky tone that she never heard before.

Okay, this is the first chapter, so it's short, but the next few chapters should be three times as long as this one (because this chapter only took up one page inside of my notebook)
