A/N: Well, hello again everyone, Kitty-Chan (or Akapunky D.) is back and with a new ficcy this time! I thought about making a Crescent Moon ficcy in the past, but didn't really do it until I was bored in 4th period today, so here it is! On the other hand, I hope Ducky-Dono and Emy made the cut for softball! I love you both!

-I made Mahiru a senior in this ficcy because usually when you're 17, you're a senior and not a junior. Right now it's January, just 5 months before Mahiru graduates from high school. All the ages for the characters are still the same-but Mahiru turns 18 on June 29th.

"Come on Mahiru, gotta get workin" Nozomu yelled up the stairs to a still sleeping princess. "Ok, I'll be right down!" Mahiru called back down to Nozomu in a way too happy voice for being up so early on a Sunday morning. Mahiru got dressed, made her bed, and went downstairs to the Moonshine.

Akira was in the kitchen waiting for any food orders and Nozomu was talking to him, most likely on what they watched on TV last night. Mahiru looked around for Mitsuru, with him being nowhere to be found.

When she saw the first customer come in, she put on her apron and greeted him, "Hello sir, welcome to the Moonshine. My name is Mahiru, and I'll be your waitress this morning, is there anything you would like to get?" The man looked up and smiled at her before he started to order, "Yes, I'd like a cup of coffee with no cream, and a…." he started to go on, but Mahiru was too busy staring at Mitsuru, who just made his way behind the bar. She watched him intently before her customer got her attention again by waving his hand in front of her face, "Hello, I said did you hear what I wanted to order?" he asked her nicely. Mahiru snapped out of her daze and apologized kindly to the man, "I'm sorry, I was just day-dreaming, what did you want after the coffee again?" He sighed deeply before starting again. She soon finished the order, said that she was sorry to him again, and gave the order to Akira.

Truth be told, Mahiru hadn't gotten much sleep last night. She was up most of the night, trying to get him out of her head, without success. She couldn't get these feelings that she had for him, she got bewildered of how she even ended up liking, or even loving him. He thought nothing of her except a tool to get the Tears of the Moon, and he hated her guts. Sure, he's softened up some since she came to the Moonshine, but never enough to tell Mahiru what she's waiting for him to tell her.

She sighed before Akira told her that the food was done. Mahiru took the food over to the man, and then went to Nozomu. "Since it's so dull right now, can I go to my room for awhile, and you can just call for me when it starts to get busy down here?" Mahiru asked, expecting to get a 'yes' out of him. But instead he just shook his head at told her, "You can't go right now, by-time you get up to your room, we're gonna be swamped, and then you'll just have to come back down again. I'm sorry, princess. You don't hate me, right?" he joked. Mahiru gave a small laugh, "No, I don't hate you, but what am I supposed to do until it gets busy then?" "You can go talk to Mitsuru over there-he's looking pretty bored himself." Nozomu answered, pointing his finger to Mitsuru who was sitting on a barstool, with his head resting in his palms. "I guess." Mahiru sighed before heading off to sit with him.

"Hey Mitsuru! Whatcha doin?" Mahiru asked him, trying to sound as cheery as possible. "What do you want, damn girl?" Mitsuru spat at her. "Um, I just wanted to talk with you, that's all, is that ok?" Mahiru asked softly. Talk. She wanted to talk. With him. 'If she only knew how I felt about her.' Mitsuru thought. 'Wait- what the hell am I talking about? How I feel about her? I don't feel anything for her……or do I?' He finally realized that she was gazing at him, "Whatever." He said.

Mahiru took the seat to Mitsuru's left side and they sat there in silence for a couple of minutes until Mahiru spoke up, "Hey, I was wondering if after school tomorrow you'd like to go and take a walk in the park with me or do something else?" she invited him, while holding her breath until his response. Mitsuru gave a small annoyed sigh and then reluctantly replied after she wouldn't stop staring at him, "If it'll get you off my back, sure, but I won't fly you there, and I an't staying long, got that you damn girl?" Mahiru let out a large sigh of relief, "Ok, wanna meet me by my school after they let out then?" "Hn." Mitsuru grunted before getting up and walking towards one of the empty tables and re-sitting himself there.

Mahiru walked up to the now-empty table of where the first man was and cleared off all the dishes. Then she went back, pocketed the tip she was given, and then took the tab and money to the counter and put it in the cash register. The Moonshine was starting to get packed pretty quickly now, so she greeted the people at the first table and started to take their orders, leaving no time for her to think about what's going to happen tomorrow.

A/N: Short, I know, I know-please don't hurt me! It's gonna get a lot better in the next chapters, so just wait until then…please? I thank anyone in advance that reviews this-in which I'm asking you to do nicely right now. BTW- if you haven't figured it out yet or didn't read the summary- this is a Mitsuru/Mahiru ficcy with slight Akira/Keiko in it. In the future, I warn you that this ficcy will contain sex, angst, pregnancy, and maybe some self-mutilation. That's why I'm warning you for.

Love,
XOXO,
Kitty-Chan
