Disclaimer: I do not own Dynasty Warriors by KOEI. If I did, I would beg Hollywood to make a film with them in it.

Bonus Story - A Date Among The Stars

Time-skip to July

"Onechan, thanks for picking out my princess yukata and geta for the Tanabata festival. You didn't have to buy it for me, you know," I smiled at onechan as we both arrived at the train station. She was going to drop me off before meeting up with Hou Sanjou-chan and Sai Bunki-chan for their outing and their day time together for the afternoon festivities at the local temple.

Onechan smiled back at me, her dark eyes warm and gentle, "But I want to, Shoukyou. It's the least I can do for helping me choose which more berets and hair accessories to go with my new look. Son Saku-kun has been complimenting me non-stop, imouto. You deserve to shine on the Tanabata festival like the prettiest star in the sky."

Onechan's beauty seemed to radiate more even since I helped her with a mild fashion makeover. Now with her new rimless glasses, she looked much younger and her eyes seemed to sparkle more. And she so looked like a real princess with her hair down! Right now, she was dressed in a powder blue sundress with a matching beret. For the added effect to her beauty, her long hair was fixed with some heart pins to compliment her beret.

"Onechan, you and Son Saku-nichan won't forget to meet me and Shuu Yu-kun later tonight, right?" I had to ask as I stood near the turning stiles, not wanting to board the train just yet.

"Of course not, imouto. It'll be exciting to spend the rest of the night in a different venue this year. Son Saku-kun will be picking me up later and we have to do our ritual in making our wishes and watching the fireworks together like we always do," onechan leaned down and kissed my forehead. I really loved her kisses; they were always so sweet and make me smile, "Have fun with Shuu Yu-kun, okay? I'd better not keep Hou Sanjou-chan and Sai Bunki-chan waiting too long at the ice cream parlour."

"I'll see you later, onechan! Send my regards to Hou Sanjou-chan and Sai Bunki-chan!"

Soon after watching onechan leave the platform, I boarded the train and watched the doors close behind me, my heart was steadily beating fast with excitement of our very first official date. It was a promise we made when we got together after the Masquerade Ball. Sitting down, I clutched the cloth bag close to me, relishing the cushiony feel against my front.

Throughout the rest of the journey, I wondered how Shuu Yu-kun was going to react when he would see me in my new yukata and how our first date would turn out...

"Shoukyou-chan! Over here!"

My heart leapt with joy the moment I heard the warm deep voice of my prince as soon as I stepped off the train. Sure enough, I was able to spot Shuu Yu-kun on the other side of the platform due to his strong stature and his handsome face. Gods, he looked so smart in his polo shirt and dress jeans. He smiled at me as I navigated through the crowd and ran into his open arms. He chuckled warmly and nuzzled his cheek against my head as I snuggled against his chest. Gosh, he felt so warm and solid and it made me sigh on how perfect his strong arms were around me.

"Right on time, my little flower..." Shuu Yu-kun said as he pulled back to peck my cheek, "You certainly are livelier than usual, Shoukyou-chan."

"Of course, silly! It's our first official date! We made an important promise, remember?" I gave him a puppy pout for good measure, "How can you forget, Shuu Yu-kun? Are you not excited for tonight?"

Shuu Yu-kun chuckled and laced one of my hands with his, "Of course, I am. It makes me smile to see you light up like a firework. Let's go home first. Otousan and Okasan are curious and want to meet you before we head off to the festival."

I always liked meeting new people. For this situation, the excitement in meeting Shuu Yu-kun's parents was tinged with a hint of nervousness. What did Shuu Yu-kun say to them about me? Would they like me?

"Don't worry, Shoukyou-chan. My parents are looking forward to your visit," I looked up at him in surprise. Was he a mind reader or what?! His dark eyes shone warmly, "All I want you to do is just to be yourself, okay?"

I smiled back up at him and nodded, "I can do that, Shuu Yu-kun."

"Good."

Shuu Yu-kun's house was big and beautiful. I knew he was wealthy but not that wealthy! Despite the overwhelmingly grand design, it still retained a warm homey traditional atmosphere. Their back garden was a breathtaking sight because I has never seen so many roses in my life...that must be why they were his favourite flower. I watched Shuu Yu-kun's face light up upon seeing a middle-aged couple sitting talking quietly and having a lovely tea spread together. They looked up and smiled at him. Oh, they must be his parents...it was then I saw two extra chairs...were they waiting for us?

"Otousan, Okasan," he greeted them reverently as he bowed to his father and kissed his mother's cheek, "I'm home. I see tea is ready. I hope you didn't have to wait long."

"Good to see you, my darling. No, no. You two made it in good time. I made your favourites," his mother said before turning to me. I had to suck in a breath...she looked so serene and beautiful, reminding me of Okasan for a moment. Her smile widened as she stood up and shook my hand, "Ah, you must be Shoukyou. Welcome to our humble home, my dear."

"Ah ha ha, so this is the beautiful flower you mentioned! Why, she's even more radiant in person!" his father clapped Shuu Yu-kun on his back, his voice loud and cheerful. He looked almost identical to Shuu Yu-kun, save for his slightly bulkier build and the perpetual smile on his face. His voice turned softer as he addressed to me, "As my lovely wife said, welcome to our home, Shoukyou-chan."

After thanking them for their kind hospitality, we sat down to join them. I found myself beside with surprise when I began talking and joking amiably with Obasan and Ojisan with ease in such a short time while we drank tea and sampled the traditional sweets and pastries that Obasan made. They were divine! As we talked about each other's families and answered their questions about my hobbies, my friends and my days at school, I felt more and more at home with them and they treated me as if I was already one of their own...they were such kind and interesting people. They didn't care that I came from a middle-class background or that I wasn't as academically acclaimed as their son.

"What matters to us is that you are always try your best and give your all each day, Shoukyou-chan," Obasan had told me with a wise twinkle in her eye. Her words truly warmed my heart, "I can see you have a bright and cheerful spirit and it is a blessing unique only to you. So don't you lose that sparkle, my dear."

I didn't know how much time had passed but the fading sunshine alerted Shuu Yu-kun's attention that we both should get dressed and make our way to the local fair where the festival was. It wasn't far from his home but I needed some extra time to assemble my princess yukata. Since I have yet to see the whole interior of the house, Obasan offered her help to put my outfit together after a short impromptu tour. She ushered me inside a spare room and I showed her the princess yukata I was going to wear. She cooed in delight and wasted no time to help me get dressed. In addition, she tied up my hair in a top bun and helped me fasten the princess rose ornament into it.

The yukata fitted me well as expected and I got a chance to fully look at myself in the full length mirror. Obasan beamed at me, her dark eyes glowing with mirth.

"My goodness, you remind me so much of myself when I was your age. You look wonderful, my dear," she complimented, "My son will surely be pleased with your look for tonight."

"Thank you, Obasan. I couldn't have looked this pretty without your help," and it was true.

I couldn't help but gush at what I saw before me. The garment and matching cloth bag was coloured in a golden tinge of orange and was patterned with bouquets of dark pink and red roses with baby's breath. I wore a black obi which was tied in a butterfly knot which was decorated with crystal beads and miniature gossamer flowers. Sparkling soft frills covered the collar and the cuffs of my sleeves. My matching geta had orange and black braided straps and a dark pink fabric rose rested on each one. Gosh, I really hope that Obasan was right that Shuu Yu-kun would like what he saw...

But there was no time to waste as Obasan reminded me that I shouldn't keep Shuu Yu-kun waiting. After checking that I got my fully charged mobile phone, my purse of money and tissues in my cloth bag, I followed Obasan to the front of the door where Shuu Yu-kun was waiting. I relished the surprised awe flooding his handsome face upon seeing me. Just like before, his beautiful smile reappeared on his lips as he linked my hand in his and carefully pulled me towards him whereupon I snuggled up to him.

"You look beautiful, Shoukyou-chan. Like a princess of the roses..."

I felt my cheeks warm at his sweet words, threatening to turn my insides into mush...

"Your father and I will be leaving shortly for our own outing as well, Shuu Yu-kun. Be careful out there and be sure to come home as soon as you can, the both of you," Obasan reminded the both of us, a sliver of worry present in her eyes, "If there are extra guests that need to sleep overnight, be sure to use the other guest rooms."

"We will, Okasan. Have a good time with Otousan."

The journey didn't take us too long and the sun was nowhere to be seen when we arrived. The Tanabata festival at the local temple was everything I expected it to be...but even better! I could see the other visitors excitedly going on with their own agendas and I waved at some of the children that smiled at me.

There were so many stalls to browse and I could smell the freshly cooked takoyaki and other special sweet and savoury treats that made my mouth water. There were carp and floral lanterns lighting up the vicinity everywhere, casting in a pretty golden glow. I could see several small children laughing and dressed up in their best as they played on the streets and at the game stalls. It was a very lively sight and reminded me of myself and onechan as little girls whenever Otousan took us out for the festival.

It was then I finally chanced to examine Shuu Yu-kun up close. He was wearing a simple and modest black yukata with red crane crests. It was then I noticed that he plaited back some of his long black locks, making him look more regal and handsome like an elvish prince in fantasy stories. I must have sighed with a lovesick look because now he was looking at me with some amusement on his face.

"Shoukyou-chan?"

"Sorry, Shuu Yu-kun, it's just that you really look handsome tonight."

"I'm glad that my attire is suited to your taste. Now come on, let's have some fun before your sister and Son Saku-kun comes," just then, we heard our stomachs grumble and we chuckled sheepishly, "Why don't we start with some food first? Fancy some takoyaki and yakitori?"

I agreed with his idea wholeheartedly and followed him to the nearest stall. However something sparkling stopped me in my path. I bent down and picked up the object: it was a hair ornament. It was a lovely comb tinted in silver with sparkling pink gem flowers shaped like stars and it was no bigger than the palm of my hand. It could belong to a young woman or even a little girl...

"Shoukyou-chan?" I looked up to see Shuu Yu-kun looking down at me curiously, "What's that you have in your hand?"

"I found it on the ground, Shuu Yu-kun. Look how pretty and well made it is. I wonder who it belongs to...I'm sure it's very precious to its wearer."

"Indeed...keep it inside your bag and then hopefully its owner will show up. Otherwise we can take it to the local police and turn it in tomorrow morning."

"Good idea, Shuu Yu-kun. I'll keep you safe, precious little thing," I carefully placed the trinket inside my bag and patted it to make sure it was still there before following Shuu Yu-kun.

Even though we had tea earlier, Shuu Yu-kun and I shared a lot of treats between us. It was also a pleasant surprise to find his uncle there running a stall to sell yakisoba. I discovered that he ran a regular stall at the festival in order to attract new customers and to keep his regulars happy. I was extra excited because he gave us a bigger portion than the others and it was so yummy!

"Shoukyou-chan, look this way!"

I turned to Shuu Yu-kun's direction and smiled at him. He was holding up his digital camera he brought for the occasion. I was slightly embarrassed since I was in the middle of sampling my fruit jellies and red bean taiyaki and there were some stains near my lips. But he insisted that I still looked cute all the same and helped clean my cheeks after I was done. Now with my belly full of food, I found myself energized to see what the fair has in store for us.

I found myself darting at each stall that had cute stuffs such as dolls, stuffed toys, traditional novelties and candies. Shuu Yu-kun followed me closely behind with that sweet patient look on his face and taking photos of me showing of the things I bought for myself, onechan and for my friends. From the browsing, I bought three lots of mochi and bags of red bean candy to share with my friends once we return to school, two stuffed bunnies with star decorations on them for myself and onechan and a wooden carving which I thought Otousan would like.

Then to my surprise, I was encouraged by Shuu Yu-kun to enter the local Miss Tanabata beauty pageant. I took his suggestion at heart and walked up to the podium where I joined the other contestants. I noticed that there were several girls like me dressed in their princess yukatas, all looking very beautiful and pristine. It took a simple quiz, a round of karaoke and the modeling of our yukatas to determine the finalists and I was pleased to say that I made it to the top two! After much deliberation from the judges, I was eventually crowned the winner and my prizes were a small bouquet of pink roses and a small tiara to fit onto my head. In my head, I honestly thought that my yukata had clinched the win so I really have to thank onechan once we meet up later tonight.

To celebrate my victory, we played at some of the game stalls. I didn't care that I didn't win at any of the games. I was far too happy seeing that Shuu Yu-kun was having as much fun as I was and seeing him so relaxed and happy was what really mattered. He really looked different than when he was all serious and level-headed in school. I snapped a picture on one of his smiles...it was that lovely to witness because it never failed to make my heart warm and go a-flutter...

"I wonder whether where the fish catching game is, Shuu Yu-kun?" I wondered.

Shuu Yu-kun looked thoughtful for a moment before he pointed to the stall that had several couples and children with nets. He smiled at me again...once again, it never failed to make my heart skip a beat.

"Shall we see whether my experience on the basketball court can help land you a goldfish to call your own?"

After I offered to hold onto his camera, Shuu Yu-kun set about his task. It was pretty comical to watch my boyfriend look so concentrated in his task as the tiny gold fish darted away from his net the moment he dipped it into tank. But pretty soon, his endeavor to win me a goldfish attracted some of the younger children and cheered him on along with me. After a few minutes, Shuu Yu-kun managed to snag two goldfish in one go in his net, causing the children to cheer and clap for him. As he smiled at them and patted one little boy's head, I couldn't resist but take several pictures of him being surrounded by these kids. He just seemed so natural around them and the tender way he was looking at them was something to behold. Before long, he was back and he held out the water filled plastic bag filled with the two goldfish. I took it carefully from him and admired the little creatures swimming inside before thanking him.

"I think it's high time to let your onechan and Son Saku-kun know where we are. We did say to meet up to make our wishes and watch the stars together," Shuu Yu-kun suggested, taking my goldfish carefully and gestured to my bag.

I agreed to his suggestion and texted onechan's number to let her know know where we were. Son Saku-nichan should've picked her up by now. Shortly after, I received a reply from onechan who said that they just arrived in the area and should reach to us within 5 minutes. I was about to relay the news to Shuu Yu-kun when...

"I didn't mean to lose it, Papa!"

"I know you didn't, my little Yukiko. I should've made sure it was secured properly."

"Now Mama will be sad that I lost it. She'll hate me!"

"No, my sweet one! She won't hate you for it. It was an accident."

"I'm sorry, Mama!"

From the distressed conversation, it was then we noticed a commotion going on nearby. A little girl in a bright pink yukata was crying and a middle-aged man was kneeling before her and holding her tenderly while patting her back. Feeling sorry at the sight, we approached them. I stepped forward to address them.

"Excuse me, is there something wrong? Is there any way my boyfriend and I can help?" I asked, kneeling down to their level. The little girl sensed my presence and stopped crying, "Hello there, cutie."

"Oh, hello there, young ones. Please forgive us for disturbing you," the young man said as the little girl burrowed further in his arms, "We lost a precious hair ornament that once belonged to my beloved wife. My daughter was wearing it for the festival and now it's gone."

My heart thumped slightly...could it be the beautiful trinket we found could be their lost treasure? But I had to be sure.

"How does it look like?" I asked.

It was then the little girl stopped sniffling and answered back, her wet face looking shy, "It...it's silver...and...and...it has sparkling pink star flowers...it was Mama's...but now it's gone..."

Now I knew that the distressed little girl, Yukiko-chan before us was the comb's real owner. I nodded to Shuu Yu-kun as I reached into my bag to retrieve it. Shuu Yu-kun took the cue and addressed to Yukiko-chan.

"Yukiko-chan, my girlfriend has found your precious momento of your Mama," Shuu Yu-kun said in his deep gentle voice, causing the little girl to look up with hope.

I smiled at the couple and held out the comb in my hands. We both watched Yukiko-chan's eyes light up and her father's worried glance melt into one of gratitude and relief. He shook Shuu Yu-kun's hand and smiled at me as I carefully placed the glittering comb into his hand.

"Thank you, young ones! Thank you so much!" the father smiled as he carefully slid the comb back into his daughter's hair. Yukiko-chan was practically beaming now and her tears were a thing of the past as she embraced her father tightly. The shiny comb looked wonderful on her as the tiny star flowers glittered under the lantern lights, "Now I made sure it's better secured, my little one..."

"Thanks for helping find Mama's comb, onechan and onichan!" the little girl's smile was wide and sweet to match her charm.

"You're welcome, Yukiko-chan," I said, returning her smile.

"Come along, we mustn't be late for our meeting," the father said before bowing to us, "Thank you once again for helping us."

"That was very sweet of you and Shuu Yu-kun to do for that little girl and her father, imouto."

We didn't have time to say goodbye to them when I recognised the new voice. I quickly stood up and turned around to find onechan and Son Saku-nichan there. Onechan looked positively radiant in her deep crimson princess yukata and her hair arranged in a rose bun. She was smiling at me and I ran as quickly as I could to embrace her. Meanwhile Shuu Yu-kun clapped Son Saku-kun's shoulder with a grin on his now serene face before they talked between themselves.

"Onechan! You look soooo lovely! Red has always been your colour," I watched onechan's cheeks turn slightly pink at the compliment, "You and Son Saku-nichan made it!"

"Of course, imouto. I told you we'll be here on time," she beamed at Shuu Yu-kun who embraced her, "Shuu Yu-kun. It's good to see you again, I'm glad to see Shouykou is well looked after."

"As am I. The pleasure is mine, Daikyou-san," I nodded and snuggled up to Shuu Yu-kun, watching onechan link her hands with Son Saku-nichan, "Shall we get going to the bamboo grove to make our wishes? It's not far from the local temple and Son Saku-kun and I know the perfect spot for stargazing."

I held onto onechan's hand as the boys guided us from the temple and one of the nearby bamboo groves. The air surrounding us smelled freshly sweet and the chirping from the crickets added the serenity of the night. Already we could see the colorful slips of paper decorating the branches and shrubberies in scattered patterns. I took a glimpse at some of the talismans. Some had standard wishes for good fortune and luck for their work and studies while others were folded into miniature carps and kimonos for added charm.

"Here we are, girls!" Son Saku-nichan's voice alerted our attention and we finally stopped in a secluded clearing. He beamed at us, "Shuu Yu and I used to always come here all the time since we were kids. It's great for stargazing and the best place to catch crickets."

"And the place hasn't changed one bit...I'm glad that the temple guardians still maintained the beauty of the groves..." Shuu Yu-kun added with a nostalgic air.

"It's beautiful, Son Saku-kun. I'm glad that imouto and I get to visit your very special place," onechan said as Son Saku-kun wrapped an arm around her and kissed the top of her head, earning a sweet smile in return.

"He he he, I'm glad you like it, Daikyou-chan," Son Saku-nichan replied, his tone deep and gentle.

I had to agree with onechan. From where we were, we could oversee the fairgrounds and view the vast expanse of the starry night sky before us. There were also gentle sloping knolls and hills where some of the families and couples were sitting to enjoy this beautiful night. It was a wondrous landscape that would inspire an artist or photographer to capture its beauty. Shuu Yu-kun shortly joined my side, pressing a kiss to my temple.

"Hey, shall we write our wishes for the festival?" I turned to onechan who started taking some marker pens and slips of colorful paler from her pouch, "Let's hope that they'll reach to the stars."

"You're so well-prepared, Daikyou-chan," Son Saku-kun praised as he took his supplies from onechan.

I took a purple slip of paper and a marker pen from onechan. Now I was in a bit of a dilemma; there were so many things I could wish for...like...good luck for my school studies...wishing health and prosperity for Otousan and onechan...praying for my romance with Shuu Yu-kun to continue blossoming...or even wishing to keep on seeing Okasan in my dreams...

What should I wish for?

"Papa...do you think Mama can see us from up above?"

My thoughts were interrupted upon hearing that nearby innocent voice. It sounded like Yukiko-chan. I carefully shifted and looked down to the nearest knoll within my sight. Sure enough, I recognised the little girl cuddled in the arms of her father. Both of them were looking up into the sky.

I caught the tender look on the man's face...and felt my heart ache upon seeing some sadness tingling his features...oh...so that meant that...

"Yes, she can, my Yukiko. I'm very sure she's looking down on us, wishing we could be up there with her."

"It's very lucky that onechan and onichan found the comb before coming here, Papa...Mama would've been very sad if she couldn't find us without it..."

The man's large hand rested on the child's head where the comb rested. The fingertips gently caressed the sparkling jeweled flowers as he kissed her head.

"Yes...but you know...she can still find us regardless whether we have the comb or not. She will always find us no matter what as long as the stars keep on shining bright and we keep on thinking how much she loved us...especially you, my sweet daughter."

I found myself choking with small tears gathering in my eyes. Yukiko-chan was just like onechan and I, having lost Okasan when we were young...

"Papa...do you think we'll get to be with her among the stars one day? That's my wish..."

"One day...we will be, my little one. We'll be together again someday. But for now, let's enjoy the rest of the night, okay?"

"Okay!"

Despite the heartache and the tears I felt for them, I knew exactly what to wish for...and I've written it down onto my talisman...poor Shuu Yu-kun looked worried upon seeing the tears in my eyes and wiped them away gently. He asked me what was the matter but I assured him that it was nothing to be worried about. And it was true. Because i had a feeling that Yukiko-chan would be fine without her Mama around because her Papa was still there for her just like Otousan had been for onechan and I...

We ended up sprawled on the grass, each with our respective boyfriends after hanging up our wishes. I laid comfortably on Shuu Yu-kun's warm chest with his strong arm cradling me close. The stars were bright like diaminds...what a lovely view...

"Shoukyou-chan?"

"Hmmmm?"

"What did you wish for?" he asked curiously.

I pushed myself up so that I was leaning on his chest and looked down at him. He had a patient look in his eyes...how adorable. I smiled as I leaned in to give my reply.

"It's a secret..." I whispered before snuggling against his collarbone.

"Come on, Shouykou-chan. Couldn't you at least give me a clue?"

"No, otherwise the stars wouldn't grant my wish, Shuu Yu-kun. I'm sure a boy who is so smart and clever like you should know that."

I felt his body rumble with his chuckles and his lips pressed on my temple, "Fair enough, my little flower. But I sincerely hope your wish comes true."

This time, it was Shuu Yu-kun towering over me as he brushed a hand on my head and gazing at me with that gentle loving stare in his eyes. I thanked my lucky stars on how I ended up dating this wonderful boy who saved me from the bullies and romantically serenaded me at the Masquerade Ball. I could never ask for more other than to stay by his side to support and love him as he deserved.

"Shuu Yu-kun?"

"Yes?"

"I had a great time at the Tanabata festival today. Thank you for bringing me here, Shuu Yu-kun," I sincerely said.

"Anytime, Shoukyou-chan. I too had a blissful time. May we have more wonderful dates like this."

As Shuu Yu-kun carefully pulled me up to my feet and carried our prizes, I sleepy clung onto him, pleasantly tired from the festivities. I felt his strong arms holding me close and his lips on my forehead.

"Let's head back to my place for the night. I'm sure you're very tired."

"And onechan?" I couldn't help but yawn.

"She and Son Saku-kun will be staying too," he said reassuringly, "Come, my little flower. The sooner we leave, the sooner you'll be able to sleep and have sweet dreams.

It was a bit of a slow journey back to Shuu Yu-kun's place as both onechan and I were on the verge of falling asleep. But we finally got into our designated room and dressed down for the night. Shuu Yu-kun found a glass bowl for the two little goldfish before he tucked me in bed and kissed me good night before retreating to his room where Son Saku-nichan would be joining him. Onechan was already in a deep peaceful sleep and there was a small smile on her face. I bet she was still thinking of Son Saku-kun's goodnight kiss on her forehead...

Briefly glancing at the starry night sky outside the window, I thought back to the wish I wrote on my talisman in the bamboo grove.

What did I wish for?

Well...I wished that Yukiko-chan would be blessed like I was...to continued being loved by her Papa...have her Mama watch her always...and one day, attain the boy of her dreams who would love and treasure her like Shuu Yu-kun did to me...

Yukiko-chan...may your beloved wish to the stars come true...

And...

I just had to say one last thing before I fell asleep with a smile on my face...

"Thank you, stars...for making my first date with Shuu Yu-kun the best ever..."

The End...
