Mahiru slowly walked up the stairs. She sighed. Mitsuru had to be gone by now. She stared at the door to his room. She walked over to the door then leaned her head onto it. 'I miss him already...' The door opened unexpectedly. Mahiru fell forward. "Whoa!" Mitsuru caught her. She looked up at him. "Sheesh... what the hell are you doing?" Mitsuru asked. Mahiru stared at him. Mitsuru shook his head.
Mahiru stood back up and walked into his room. Everything looked the same. "You didn't pack yet?" "I did." He smiled. "Before you go... can you... um... fly me around the town, Again?" Mitsuru rolled his eyes. "Any reason?" He asked leaning onto the wall. Mahiru smiled. "Yeah." She smiled. "Why?" "The view looked great. I loved it... and also... I'm starting to like flying..." Mahiru answered. Mitsuru sighed. "Maybe..." He smirked. Mahiru smiled. "Hm... only on one condition..." Mitsuru grinned evilly. "What?" "I won't tell you... unless you say, 'yes'." "Yes?" Mahiru said. Mitsuru grinned wider.
"Come on..." Mitsuru directed her out of his room. He then dragged her towards the stairs to the roof. Mahiru smiled. He opened the door and the sun beamed in. A mild wind was around them. Mitsuru and Mahiru stood on the roof. Mitsuru smirked and a wind surrounded them. Mahiru smiled and spread out her arms. Mitsuru grabbed her hand and they lifted off the ground. Mahiru shrieked at first then quickly wrapped her arms around Mitsuru. Mitsuru chuckled. They flew up towards the clouds. Mahiru closed her eyes nervously. She shivered. Mitsuru stopped once they made it past the clouds. "I thought you said you liked flying." Mahiru tightened her grip on Mitsuru. "Heh, remember that condition?" Mitsuru asked. Mahiru nodded. "Well, here it is." Mitsuru closed his eyes. He wrapped his arms around Mahiru tightly.
Then the wind around them disappeared. Mahiru opened her eyes. They started to fall. Mitsuru kept his eyes closed. He looked very calm. Mahiru screamed. "M-Mitsurruuu!" She cried. Mitsuru smiled. "M-MITSURU!!!!!" Mahiru screamed. Mitsuru opened his eyes. They were coming in closely to the Moon Shine's roof. Wind surrounded them and they came to a stop.
Mahiru's hair practically stuck up. "That was fun." Mitsuru chuckled. Mahiru looked at him. He looked out into the distance. The wind shifted and they flew out towards the ocean. Mahiru watched as they grew further way from the moon shine. She glanced at Mitsuru. "Your mom... was murdered?" She couldn't help but ask. Mitsuru looked down at her quickly.
He looked back up not saying anything. "Mitsuru.... it's better if you tell someone how you feel!" Mahiru snapped. "Stop keeping things bottled up inside!" Mitsuru frowned.
"I'll do whatever I want." He muttered. Mahiru looked down. "Both my parents died..." Mahiru explained. Mitsuru looked at her. "I don't want to talk about it." He growled. Mahiru starred at him. "But..." "No," Mitsuru said sternly. Mahiru stared at him. "Change of subject then... why were you in my room.... no.... my bed with me?!" Mahiru glared at him. Mitsuru closed his eyes letting the air blow into his face. He smiled ignoring the question Mahiru asked.
"Mitsuru..." Mahiru watched as he ignored her. Mitsuru opened his eyes. They were approaching the beach. He sighed. "It's nice today." Mitsuru changed the subject. Mahiru rolled her eyes. "I hope you didn't rape me..." She muttered. Mitsuru's eyes widen. He said nothing. "Did you?!" Mahiru snapped. "NO!" Mitsuru shouted finally. Mitsuru in a way giggled. Mahiru glanced at him. "What?!" She looked nervous.
"This..." Mitsuru whispered as they were about to land in the sand. He then over shot and they went flying right into the cool beautiful blue ocean. Mahiru stood up in shock shrieking. Mitsuru sat up laughing. They were in the shallow waters.
Mitsuru stood up looking in pain. He clutched his shoulder. "That was fun." He grinned then walked over to the dry sand falling back into it. "Gah, damn forgot about my cuts." Mitsuru gasped. Mahiru made her way over to him looking outraged. "Bastard!" She shouted. Mitsuru looked at her in shock. "These are my favorite pajamas!" Mahiru cried.
"Everything is your favorite thing…" Mitsuru mumbled. Mahiru splashed him.
"I hope you don't plan on flying me back to the Moon Shine while I'm wet like this." Mahiru sighed. Blush appeared on his face after she finished the sentence. Mahiru stared at him. "What?" She couldn't help but ask. Mitsuru covered his face, still blushing.
"It's so funny, you're so naive." Mitsuru snickered. Mahiru blinked, "Okay then." She shook her head. Mitsuru sat up bending his knees. He leaned forward onto his knees and gazed out towards the ocean. Mahiru watched him for a little bit then finally sat next to him. She hugged her knees. A quick chill came over her. She shivered, scooting closer to Mitsuru.
Mitsuru glanced over to her. He ran his hand through his hair. Mahiru laid her head onto Mitsuru's shoulder right after he finished messing around with his hair. "I thought you were mad at me…" Mitsuru frowned. He moved his shoulder trying to get her off. But she didn't move her head.
"My pajamas can dry…" Mahiru admitted. Mitsuru wrapped his arm around Mahiru's shoulder then felt her forehead. Mahiru smiled.
"That would be useless to check… wouldn't it be? Humans and Demons probably don't have the same body temperature." Mitsuru moved his hand away from Mahiru's forehead. He left his arm around Mahiru's shoulders though. Mahiru shrugged.
"I'm just doing this because it makes my shoulder hurt less." Mitsuru quickly said before Mahiru would even think to question it. Mahiru giggled. "Isn't it your other shoulder that was injured, Mitsuru?" She couldn't help but blurt. Mitsuru rolled his eyes.
"You can't hide it anymore now… I know you like me." Mahiru finally said. Mitsuru quickly moved his arm away from her shoulders. He stood up backing away from her. She watched confused. "What's wrong?" Mahiru questioned. Mitsuru crossed his arms, he then gave a half hearted glared. Almost as if he truly didn't want to but was forcing himself to. Mahiru stood up too, but she didn't move.
"What makes you think that I like you?!" Mitsuru snapped. Mahiru's jaw dropped.
"Are you kidding?!" Mahiru shouted. Mitsuru quickly looked around.
"I better take you back home." He whispered. Mahiru said nothing. The wind around them picked up. Mitsuru ran over to Mahiru. "Close your eyes!" Mitsuru shouted. Mahiru closed her eyes and felt Mitsuru's arm wrap around her waist. She felt them lift off the ground. "Damn it…" Mitsuru growled. Mahiru couldn't help but open her eyes out of curiosity. All she was able to see was Mitsuru's shirt. A huge gust of wind hit them and they went flying towards the ocean. Mahiru heard a familiar laugh.
"I-isn't that..?" Before Mahiru could finish her sentence, they landed into the water. Mitsuru still clung to Mahiru as they kept going underwater. Mahiru squirmed out of Mitsuru's grip.
As he kept sinking deeper into the water, Mitsuru opened his eyes and reached out towards Mahiru helplessly. She grabbed his hand and started swimming up until she and Mitsuru reached the top. Once she broke through the water. Mahiru gasped for oxygen. Pulling Mitsuru up, he did the same while cough out some of the water he accidentally inhaled. There was a strong current where they were, making it harder for Mahiru to keepher and Mitsuru's head above the water. She began to grow tired almost immediately as she kept fighting the current. "Mahiru, Let go of me!" Mitsuru shouted over the waves that went past them.
"No, you'll drown." Mahiru cried and she attempted to keep staying above water.
"Duck then!" Mitsuru screamed. Mahiru looked over to him then went under water. Before she pulled Mitsuru under, he quickly pointed up to the sky blindly letting a lightning bolt shot out from his pointer finger, he was then dragged under water by Mahiru.
~At the Moonshine~
Misoka and Oboro were standing on the roof looking over the small city. "Misoka, have you seen the princess around by any chance?" Oboro asked nonchalantly. Misoka shook his head.
"Not recently, earlier, Mitsuru screamed at her, and she went to her room afterwards." Misoka recalled. Oboro shook his head. Misoka squinted his eyes and spotted a lightning bolt oddly shooting up towards the sky. He grimaced. "Did you see that?"
Oboro nodded. "That looked like it came from the beach… gather Nozomu and Akira." Misoka nodded and dash over to the stairs. "That must have been Mitsuru. No nature lightning bolt is purple!" Oboro shouted after Misoka. Oboro felt a tingle in his spine then turned away from the rail. He headed towards the downstairs over to Mahiru's room. He rapped on the door. "Princess?" He called. After no reply, he opened the door to find Mahiru's room empty. "Damn it." He muttered under his breath. Slamming the door, he rushed over to Mitsuru's room. The kicked the door open to see the his room was also empty. Oboro place one hand onto his hip then the other at his mouth.
"Akira, Misoka, Nozomu, wherever Mitsuru is, he has the princess with him!" Oboro shouted.
~Downstairs~
Akira and Nozomu quickly looked over to Misoka. "What if his father returned?!" Akira whispered, "It's not like we can stop him!"
Nozomu grabbed the keys to the van. "Mitsuru should have known his fricken father would hunt him down! For him to even of taken the princess was completely reckless." Misoka hissed rushing over to the front door. Nozomu followed.
"Akira, you run over to the beach west of here. You'll make it before us! If you see them and that moron's father, try to keep him occupied until to get there. Akira nodded. He ran up the stairs and up to the rooftop, jumping onto the next building and so on. Misoka and Nozomu hopped into the van and revved the engine.
"Do you have a plan?!" Nozomu glanced at Misoka after putting the van into drive. Misoka nodded uneasily. "I'll take that as a no." Nozomu sighed and sped off.
~At the Beach~
Mitsuru opened his eyes to find himself on land. He gagged then coughed out more water. "A human girl… you fell in love with a human girl." Mitsuru stood onto his feet in a flash. His father stood in front of him in his transformed tengu form. "I might as well not call you my son." His father grinned.
"Where is she?!" Mitsuru couldn't help but scream.
"Somewhere…"
"Where is somewhere?!" Mitsuru shouted. Circles appeared in his eyes.
His father smiled more the shrugged. "You ask me as though I would know."
Mitsuru transformed. "Tell Me Now!" As he screamed out to his father, wind swirled around him pushing back Mitsuru's father.
"You pose no threat to me!" His father laughed.
Mitsuru formed a ball of lightning then prepared to throw it at his father. "How about now, Mitsurugi?!" Mitsuru smirked. His father then whipped his cape around to reveal Mahiru. She shook in fear. Mitsuru froze the ball faded.
"Still no threat." Mitsurugi dropped Mahiru to the ground. Tears dripped from her eyes. "I'm thinking about keeping the little human. She seems to be able to… energize my powers. Mitsuru clenched his fist. "While I'm at it, I'll have some pleasuring fun with her." Mitsurugi licked his lips. Mitsuru flew towards his father is rage. Mitsurugi kicked sand into Mahiru's face, getting it into her eyes. Mahiru cried out.
Mitsuru stopped dead in his tracks.
"I've been longing for your blood son, little weak demons don't deserve to live. I was ashamed once I learned you were just like your worthless mother." Mitsuru transformed back into his human form. He shifted his eyes nervously.
'Where the hell at they?!' Mitsuru gave his father a death glare.
~Somewhere around the beach~
Akira frantically sniffed the air. He hopped around as fast as possible. "Oh man… I can't pick up on their…" Akira paused. "…Scent!" He ran towards where he smelt Mitsuru and Mahiru. "Bingo!"
