The Tears That I Cry
Chappy Two- Maybe This Wasn't Such A Good Idea
I have a question for Crescent Moon fans, did anyone ever notice that Misoka started out as a girl in the first volume, but gradually became a guy in the second? Just curious if I was the only one who caught that.
Anyway, enjoy the second chapter.

Crescent Moon The Tears That I Cry Chappy TwoAn Unplanned Marriage
Misoka stepped through the mirror after Oboro.
"I'm expecting you to come Mitsuru." He said before disappearing.
Nozomu and Akira went through as well.
"Are you ready?" Mitsuru asked Mahiru.
"Yep." She answered.
"And you're going to be ok this time?"
"Yes, I promise."
Even though she said this is a confident voice, she was squeezing Mitsuru's hand.
They followed the others through the mirror. There was a sensation of falling, and then it ended. Mahiru opened her eyes to see the beautiful palace that she had seen two years before.
"Just as gorgeous as always." She said with a smile.
He couldn't help but smile when he saw her bright and happy face.
"Where did they all go?" Mahiru asked, looking around.
Suddenly, Mahiru felt two arms wrap around her from behind, and they weren't Mitsuru's.
"Hiya Mahiru!!" Akira said.
"Akira!! You scared me." She said.
"Sorry."
"It's ok. Where is everyone?"
"They already went inside. Follow me. I'll show you."
The three of them walked inside.
Strange creatures with fish heads stared at them.
Mitsuru knew why. He looked over and Mahiru. She merely smiled at him.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"Of course I am. I'm just fine." She answered.
"Come one guys. Just a little further." Akira said.
They walked over a small bridge and saw a wedding commencing.
"What's this?" Mahiru asked.
"They're here! Restrain the Tengu and grab the girl!" A guard yelled.
Two goat headed men secured Mitsuru by the arms, and Misoka's Aunt grabbed Mahiru's arm and began pulling her towards the palace.
"Mahiru!" Mitsuru yelled, struggling to get free.
Akira transformed into a wolf and ran towards Misoka's Aunt.
"Akira stop!" Oboro yelled.
The wolf screeched to a halt and turned to Oboro.
"This has to be done." Oboro said, turning his gave to the podium.
Standing there was none other than an adult Lord Shirogane.
"What the hell?! Wasn't he a little boy?!" Mitsuru yelled.
"He was, but his kind grow quickly." Masumi said as she dragged Mahiru.
"Where are you taking me?" Mahiru asked.
"Lord Shirogane is the true Descendant of the Demon, Princess."
"But…no! Mitsuru is!!"
"Ha! That pathetic Tengu?! He's not suited to be the Descendant of the Demon! He was birthed by humans!"
"So was I! My parents were human!!"
"So was the Princess back then. Stop arguing, we have to get to ready for your wedding."
"Her wedding?!?!" Nozomu yelled angrily.
"Mahiru has to merry Lord Shirogane." Misoka said.
"You knew about this?!" Mitsuru yelled, still trying to pull free from the guards.
"No, this is the first I've heard about it, I just pieced it all together. I was told that we were bringing the Princess here for political reasons."
Nozomu clutched a handful of Oboro's shirt.
"So you betray us!?" he yelled.
"I had no choice…I did it for her…" Oboro replied.
"For Mahiru?! How is this good for her!?"
"Not for her. For Masumi."
"My Aunt? But why?" Misoka asked.
"I…fell in love with her."
Mahiru and Masumi disappeared inside the palace.
"So you did this for your own selfish desires?!?! I'm going to kill you!!" Mitsuru yelled, finally fighting off the guards and running towards Oboro, his eyes changing as he moved.
"Mitsuru, wait! He's not worth it." Nozomu spat, turning away from him.
"He's right, we need to concentrate on stopping this marriage and saving Mahiru." Misoka said.
"Where's Akira?" Nozomu asked.
They all turned when they heard whimpering. Akira was back to human form, sitting like a dog, with his head turned towards the ground.
"What's wrong Akira?" Misoka asked.
"I could have saved her. If I hadn't listened to Oboro I could have knocked Masumi away and taken Mahiru back home where she'd be safe. But when Oboro told me to stop, I thought he meant for Mahiru's safety." Akira whined.
"Quit crying you stupid dog! It's not your fault! We all trusted him!" Mitsuru growled.
Akira perked up a little, his tail wagging a mile a minute.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Mitsuru asked.
"Mitsuru was nice to me! Mitsuru does like me!!" He yelled, prancing happily around on all fours.
He pounced on Mitsuru, knocking him to the ground, and licking his face.
"Gyah! Get off of me!" he yelled.
"Come now, Akira. We need to rescue Mahiru."
They four boys started off towards the palace entrance where Mahiru has disappeared.
"Wait!"
"Jeez! What now!" Mitsuru yelled, turning to see Lord Shirogane running towards them.
"I need to speak with you Mitsuru." He said.
"Shut the fuck up! I'm not going to let you marry my Mahiru you bastard!"
"I am the rightful Descendant of the Demon, she is my Princess and I will not let a pathetic mortal born demon like you get in my way."
"Mitsuru you deal with him, we'll go and get Mahiru!" Nozomu called, he and the other two ran inside the palace.
"I'd die before I'd let you have Mahiru." Mitsuru growled.
"I can arrange that. In fact I'll take care of it myself right now." Shirogane unsheathed a sword and pointed it towards Mitsuru.
"That hunk of sharpened metal isn't going to beat my control of the wind!!"
Neko: There you have it; the second chapter. I hope you liked it.
Mahiru: I don't want to marry Lord Shirogane, I want to stay with Mitsuru.
Mitsuru: As long as I am around you're not going to marry anyone; except maybe me.
Lord Shirogane: We'll see about that Tengu.
Mitsuru: I'm going to win this battle! I know I will right Neko!
Neko: Well…
Shirogane: Why not finish the battle right here and now!
Mitsuru: Fine! You're on!!
Neko: (Hits them both on the back of the head) Stop it you fools! You're going to ruin the next chapter! And I'm not going to tell you who will win! You'll have to wait! Oh, and don't worry Mahiru, you'll like the ending…of the first conflict anyway…
Mahiru: You mean this is only the first??Neko: Eheheh, sorry. Anyway, please R&R.
