Chapter 41: Underneith The Pale Moon.

The moon a pale white covered the ground with it's beautiful glow, which tonight somehow seemed sad and lonely. The water rippled gently and the grass swayed in the wind. The breeze was gentle and warm. Stars hung in the sky eachone shimmering and lighting up the night sky. Fire flys zipped by as if they were dancing. They layed there looking up at the sky.

" I'm sorry...about Black rose...I really am...you didn't know...where she was...it wasn't your fault..." Elk breathed deeply his eyes slightly looking over at him.

" I know..I know that...I just wish...she was alive..and happy somewhere...not...dead...even if she didn't want me..If she was happy and alive it would have been fine with me.." He sighed touching a piece of grass.

" I..I'm sorry..." Tears ran down Elk's face

" Why are you crying Elk?" Kite asked

" I just...It hurts...to see you so depressed..you're usually so happy and full of energy...but you look dead inside..." Elk whispered.

" I'll be ok I promise.." Kite reasured him.

" Please..yes...please get better..don't be sad forever...I couldn't bear to see it!" Elk cried a bit more but whiped his tears away with his sleeve.

Kite laughed a bit and smiled tenderly

"watakushi no kawaii yasashii chibi usagi..."

Elk closed his eyes smiling softly as his cheeks turned red. He felt as Kite's hand touched his cheek.

" Come on..we can't sleep here..lets go home.." Kite stood up taking Elk's hand.

" I wish we could stay here..." Elk sighed looking up at the moon.

Kite's eyes narrowed slightly and he smiled.

" We'll come back here again...don't worry...lets go home and listend to music, eat candy, and talk...we havn't done that in a while have we?" Kite laughed.

" Yeah...you're right...lets go..." Elk smiled and they through the field to the empty street.

Elk looked down at the ground his heart beating fast and his breathing deep, he searched inside of himself trying to find the right words. Kite looked up at the sky as they walked home...Elk followed closely behind walking in a bit more of a fast pace.

" I......" Elk whispered

" I know...you don't have to say anything...." Kite whispered back.
