A/N: Thank you for reading! Keep those reviews coming!
Luna's body was thrown to one side of the curb, she was half naked her clothes torn. Some of her nails were missing or lifted from all the scratching she did on that floor of that van.
"Mi..no..ru.." She said her mouth bleeding. She felt faint as she had silence consume her from all around, she vaguely heard the van driving off. She felt dry, bite marks along her neck and arms, her legs and along her thighs. She felt sickened with herself as she lay there in the grass, small tinges along her skin where the dirt mingled with her bite marks were bleeding.
'I won't let you win.' She thought as she forced herself up from the side of the road where she was tossed into, her eyes holding a dead glow, one similar to the one she had before but it held more of a dead glow.
'When you find out what she did...' She thought as her legs dragged slightly as she lifted the opposite one to walk. Little droplets of warm rain starting to fall on her as she looked up at the sky, she allowed herself to smile, her blood running down her face. She saw odd shapes and shadows as she walked; she knew she was going to pass out soon.
'I'm not going to forgive you.' She thought as she walked along the empty road, everything stung. Every muscle she used to walk with hurt, those men.. Their bites... Minoru made them do that to her. He paid them to do it to her, he smiled when she bled. It made him happy that she was in pain.
Her eyes knitted together slightly as her long lashes closed over her pale cheeks, currently red from blood stain and scratches. 'Minoru wants me dead; he wants me to stop living.' She thought as she looked at her hands as she walked.
'I won't give him that satisfaction. I'll fight him until I can't fight anymore.' She thought as she felt cool wind brush over her wet skin. The rain was washing away the blood, leaving her to the wounds that she had been given for that day.
'He won't believe me...' She thought with every step she took. 'He won't forgive Luna for what she did. I am...Luna now.' She thought as she felt her tears weld up. 'I'm no longer Yuzuki... that woman...that actress... she is Yuzuki now.' She thought as she stopped slightly and looked up at the sky.
'I have power with this body...' She thought as her pace turned more secure, her long hair wet now, and her clothes soaked through. 'Minoru has changed...' She thought as she looked at what road she was in. She sighed... roughly 2 hours away from home.
'Perhaps... Minoru was never what she thought he was. Maybe that was programming too?...Maybe he was always like this... cold and ruthless.' She thought as she heard a light honk making her thoughts stop as she turned to the bright light weakly.
'Motorcycle?' She thought vaguely as the light made her eyes ache, she shielded herself from it slightly and she noticed familiar voice. "Y-Yuene..." Noku's voice came as she jumped off of the Motorcycle, her small form getting wet slightly.
"What happened to you?" Noku shouted in worry as she took hold of her shoulder. 'People I know...' She thought as her knees gave way. "Yuene!" Noku shouted again holding her light body up. Tsutomu looked at both girls, he noticed Luna look weak and far too pale, she had cuts and bite marks all over her skin, and blood on her clothes... cuts on her cheeks and a wound on her forehead.
His eyes traveled to her hands where she held herself up with Noku's help. They looked swollen... 'Did she break them?' he thought as his breath caught in his throat when she saw some of her nails missing. 'What happened?' He thought worry entering him.
"I...fell.." Luna spoke, her breath coming out shallow as she tried to force a laugh. "I don't quite remember...what happened." Luna lied smiling weakly to them, Tsutomu's face turned angry.
"Bull shit." He spoke as he got off his bike and picked her up; she seemed to flinch when he took hold of her. Screamed a bit when they were too close. He carried her to his bike as Noku took her place behind him as he drove with her in his arms. Luna was wheezing slightly as he drove down the road.
"Where are we going?" She asked looking to both of her class mates. "We're going to the hospital." Tsutomu spoke, Luna began to struggle. "NO!" She shouted as Tsutomu braked his motorcycle slightly. She got off, falling to her knees slightly, "What are you? Idiot! Get back on; you need a professional to look at you-"
She turned to him, an angry face displayed on her face. "I refuse to go into a hospital!" She shouted her voice hoarse. She shook her head, "I have enough things to deal with, not having Mr. Yue-..." She paused for a bit. "My father, I don't want him to...worry about me anymore." She spoke as she fell back slightly.
"Yuene-san!" Noku shouted.
Luna fell against Tsutomu's chest. She froze and made an attempt to push away but he held her there, pressing his hand against her rib cage, his fingers found a swollen part on her as she screamed out in pain. His eyes widened, and he released her quickly. "What..."
She tipped back slightly holding her stomach. "You couldn't have gotten that messed up from a fall, tell me what happened." He demanded, she shook her head. "I WONT take you to the hospital if you tell me the truth.
Humiliated she looked down. "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you, Tsutomu-kun." She said in a gentle voice. Tsutomu took her by the shoulders, making her look at him. She looked up at him with incredibly sad eyes. "Tell me Yuene."
She smiled to both them, "If you insist..." She whispered and she coughed slightly, he picked her up and put her on his bike, "We'll go to your house."
Luna smiled weakly, "Hai..."
Once they were on the road again, Luna began to tell them a story about a little boy who had gone through a divorce. The only member who protected him through it all was his big sister, but his sister came down with a strange sickness and died rather quickly.
Noku and Tsutomu listened carefully, a bit confused as of why this had anything to do with her being in this state, but didn't interrupt her.
Luna continued talking about how a persacom was made carrying the exact data that his sister had, as the boy grew he started to feel a certain attraction for this persacom, so he refused to continue giving her his sisters data, and let her unfold having her to make her own personality instead of continuously being fed the reactions that she should say or act out.
She began to feel a type of affection for her master too, one that she confused for glitches and malfunctions. They became more frequent as the boy grew, and then one day.. The boy made an experiment, making her almost completely human.
Tsutomu sputtered slightly as he looked down to Yuene, she merely smiled to him. As they snuck in her house and into her room Noku bathed her while Tsutomu just turned around and continued to hear the story.
Yuene continued about saying how their relationship had changed, the persacom was no longer following rules but did things on her own, she had love for her master, so much that she had to tell him herself. Tsutomu sighed slightly understanding the story but confused still as to why she was telling it.
Noku started putting on ointments for her cuts, Noku never noticed so many bites.
"After so much drama they finally accepted they loved each other... but an ex of his didn't want to let go. She had tasted his fortune you see, and she loved it, she wanted to own it, own him." Luna spoke and smiled weakly to Tsutomu as he turned to her.
"One morning his ex had the girl taken away..."
They both stilled as they faced her. "Wait.. Yuzuki is that...half human girl?"
Yuene nodded. "Let me finish." She pleaded weakly as they put her to bed, "You can leave or stay whether you believe me or not. But I need someone to know, I need someone to believe that it's there. Or else I know I'll go mad..." Luna spoke looking at both of them. They nodded and stayed quiet.
She continued to tell them on how the girl woke up with a completely different body. And then they explained it to her that the ex of his had bought a man from inside of her ex-lovers company.
"They traded us..." Yuene finished as she stood up weakly to them. "Minoru.. Is that man. Yuzuki was the half-human and-"
"You are.. The ex." Tsutomu said shocked.
Noku shook her head, "But now you're...Yuzuki..right?"
Yuene nodded smiling weakly. "It might seem impossible to you, and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't believe me-"
She suddenly felt warmth from a body, her held her gently. Careful of her wounds and bites. He kissed her now bandage covered forehead, his breathing uneven.
"This explains why I find Yuzuki so distasteful now." Tsutomu spoke to Yuene smiling. Luna looked to him in shock as her eyes glassed over once more. "You-... you believe me?" She asked her voice shaking. Noku hugged her as well, "Hai we believe you..."
Relief filled her and she held them letting out light sobs. "Now tell us what happened..."
"We sure as hell won't believe that, that bastard dropped you off at home, if he thinks you're still Luna and Yuzuki's personality changed that fast cuz of what you did, he must have done something awful to you." Noku spoke as they both stilled.
"He did...this?"
Luna didn't answer.
"He..."
"I'm going to forget him.." Yuene spoke looking to both of them, and smiled prettily. "I'm going to forget everything and live in this body.." she spoke and felt her body slack slightly. "Sleep for now, it's a good thing we have a 1 week vacation, it'll give you a chance to heal up." Tsutomu spoke.
"I'll be fine."
"You won't be able to walk right in weeks, try to get as much rest as you can...Yuzuki."
My name...
With that they stood up, "W-where are you guys going?"
Noku turned to her, "I'm going to see Tsutomu-kun out, and I'm sleeping over for the next week." Noku decided in a wide smile. Both blinked, as Yuene sat up slightly, her dark wavy hair flowing down tucked behind her shoulders as the night air tousled it slightly. Her gentle blue eyes smiled even if her mouth did not, 'That is Yuzuki.'
"You're welcome anytime Miss Noku." Luna spoke, she was then pointed to by the tan haired girl, "Don't give me that attitude Yuzu, You're gonna tell me everything and the truth! Don't sugar coated shit like you always do." Spoke and then turned to Tsutomu and pushed him out, leaving her alone in her room for a bit.
Luna stood up from her bed, her chest hurting slightly as she straightened herself. Her hair fell from its place on her shoulders and flowed to her waist, slightly below her belly. She took her first step to the mirror, her body ached. She noticed bandages on her bites as she heard her phone ring. Blinking she walked to it, and placed her hand on the receiver.
'It's him...' She thought and picked up her phone, her knees going weak as she heard his voice.
"How'd it feel bitch?" He asked his voice swirling. She felt tears overwhelm her as she let out a slight sob. He stopped a bit hearing the strange sound come from her. "You don't believe me, you had me raped. How do you think it felt?" She said her breathing harsh. After a long silence she heard him in take a deep breath, "You know what?" He asked his voice slurred.
She stilled as heard him breathe out slightly, "What..." She asked her voice weakening as she leaned on her table, her body ached so badly. "She smells like you did... before the accident. Her kiss is different, her taste is dull..." Minoru rambled she heard him sniff slightly. "You act like her former self... your personality, your grace..." He said coughing.
"I am her, Mr. Minoru..." Luna whispered, as she heard her voice in the background, screaming something to him. He chuckled ignoring it, "so how did it feel, you still haven't answered that to me." He spoke to her. "It hurt..." She told him holding herself, "They bit me and hit me... what you wanted correct? They took advantage... almost as savagely as you did when you were drunk that day ...when I was practicing my archery out in the rain." She told him tears falling.
Shock hit him hard. "How did you-"
"I'll learn how to fall out of love..." She spoke and cut him off, her tears angry. "One day I won't love you anymore."
She heard his breath still and he was about to say something, but before she could hear it she slammed the phone down on the receiver. 'I'm a dirty, filthy person...' She thought as she chocked out tears. 'I'll show you my pain... I'll haunt you...' She thought covering her mouth as she felt her knees buckle, 'I'll make you regret.'
She landed against something firm and warm. She clung to it and cried her heart out; she felt a warm hand pet her head as she cried. 'You believe me...' She thought as she held onto the body tighter. 'You believe me...'
"It's all right." A male voice spoke as it held her, Luna went stiff completely. "Where is Miss Noku?" Luna's soft voice asked. Tsutomu smiled and looked to the door way, "We've both decided to stay with you." He spoke seeing her shaking.
"Did..."
Tsutomu looked at her curiously. "Did you hear...?"
After a long silence both of them nodded, "Hai." Luna flinched, and clutched Tsutomu's shirt tighter. "And?" She asked feeling Noku walk in her room, sniffling slightly as she reached to hold her as well. "You always hide things from me... you always hide things that hurt." She sobbed and help her tightly, "Damn it Yuzu don't do that anymore!" She scolded her.
Something calm entered her, 'they know who I am...' She thought dreamily. 'They...know...-'
"Yuzu!" Noku shouted in worry feeling her go limp. Tsutomu wrapped his arms around her and picked her up, setting her on the bed again. "It's funny I didn't see it before, even with Luna running around in her skin. I honestly thought something happened to her, so drastic that she had to change..." Tsutomu spoke as he reached to pet the cheek of the sleeping girl.
"At first I was furious that-... she acted so much like her." Tsutomu spoke, tracing over some of the bandages on her face and arms. "Did you know?" Noku asked as she looked down to Luna. "About...her being a persacom?"
Tsutomu smiled looking down to Luna, "I knew..."
