Steal

Luna leaned her hand against her palm as she waited for her turn. Her Archery uniform highlighting her curves, while her hair was tied back in a cute pony-tail. "He actually asked you to marry him once he figured out it was you?" Noku asked her face beet red while she rested her head on Luna's lap.

Luna nodded seeing Tsutomu shoot yet another perfect bull-eye on the target board. "Can you believe it?" Luna spoke out, her voice dull. "You didn't accept did you?"

Luna looked to her and shook her head, "Of course not, I can't forgive him... not after what he did to me." Luna said, her voice fading. Noku nuzzled her face into Luna's lap, "Then why did you let him know it was you in there Yuene-san?" Noku asked seeing Luna's eyes darken. "So that he'll know..." She said and then turned to Noku, petting her cheek gently. "Misery loves company Miss Noku."

"Yuene-san." Tsutomu spoke as Luna turned to him, getting up from her spot on the floor she walked next to Tsutomu. "Hai." Luna spoke while she stood right next to him, holding her bow to her side while both of her and Tsutomu bowed to each other.

"Those two look like models next to each other don't you think?" One of the girls bickered while Noku's eyes saddened. "Yeah they look beautiful together, I mean Yuzuki-san looked nice too but those two just fit.-" Noku silenced the girls with a glare as she turned to watch Luna and Tsutomu turn to the target board.

Noku noticed Luna's height; she wasn't as small as Noku. She seemed to have the perfect height; she reached the average male to his chest, right below his chin. Noku looked to her hands and gave out a sigh, her blush growing dark. 'I'm too small to be with Tsutomu-kun.' She thought while she noticed Luna's dark hair, her sparkling blue eyes while her leather covered fingers released the arrow the same time as Tsutomu did.

The girls gasped and clapped, "They're in perfect sync!" They cheered while they continued to aim and shoot. 'Practice, practice, and more practice.' Noku thought while she ran a hand through her tanned, golden locks. She gave out a small sigh while her lime-green eyes followed Tsutomu.

'I know that Tsutomu really liked Yuzuki... but what about Luna? Could he possibly start liking her too?" Noku thought in worry while she noticed them stop, and bow to each other. Luna walked by as Noku was called right next to Tsutomu. She gained confidence once she felt Yuene's lips pat her cheek while she padded next to the one she was in love with.

Noku was a small girl, her head barely reaching to his shoulders. While Tsutomu pulled back in concentration, Noku had already launched a good three arrows ahead of him. All hitting Bulls-eye, he looked to her in surprise noticing her green eyes gazing at the target-board and deep in thought. She always had that look when she shot an arrow; her eyes always gave off that sparkle. He looked ahead and picked up the pace shooting the arrow at her pace rather than his, "You've gotten a lot better." He spoke while he allowed himself to smile.

As Luna made her way back while she noticed their speed pick up. "Noku has always been the star player of the Archery Team hasn't she?" Ugene spoke to Luna while she simply looked to her, "They look good together." Luna commented. "What do you mean?" One of the girls asked and looked the couple closely, "Well they do give off that competitive vibe-"

Giggles started, "And she does always shoot off so much energy." The others talked while more giggled, "Yeah that's for sure, and she always has Tsutomu-kun on his toes." At this comment Luna had to agree and allowed herself a small giggle along with the girls. All the girls squealed and hugged her; Tsutomu looked to see them hug Luna from the side of his eye. 'Maybe this is be-'

"Don't fool yourself... I know what you're thinking." Noku spoke while she continued to shoot, her voice even and controlled. Tsutomu flinched, his arrow missing the bulls-eye by a hair. Noku stopped, looking to Tsutomu, "Yuzu-chan is more guarded than ever now..." She spoke as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Thinking that she'll open up to people now isn't wise." She spoke.

"It's just nice..." Tsutomu spoke while he smiled to her, "You're yourself again, now that she's back." Tsutomu spoke seeing Noku still, her eyes widen- "M-me?" She asked her blush coming strong. Tsutomu allowed himself a smile while he noticed her movements become clumsy. 'She blushes so easily.'

Noku scratched head and looked away, "Oh shove it Tsutomu-kun." Noku spoke as hearing him chuckle while she turned and walked to Luna, pushing the other girls off of her while she hugged the raven haired senior, her blushing face being hidden by Luna's chest.

With a smile Tsutomu dismissed the female Archery Team members.

Luna gave a sigh while Noku took her toward the girls locker room, leaving Tsutomu to talk among the other males of the team. He was slightly confused and amused from Noku's reaction, 'Yuzu always stays, I wonder what they're talking about?' Tsutomu thought as he often did, get a little... jealous of how close the friendship the two girls shared.

Both girls rode their bikes toward Luna's house. "So do you work this Weekend?" Noku asked seeing Luna blink and shake her head, "Iie, I don't work." Luna spoke while she pedaled, "Good, I have plans then." Noku spoke making Yuzuki blink. "Plans?...for what?"

"For us."

Luna nodded and continued to pedal, "I don't want you to feel alone again." Noku spoke while she looked to Luna. Smiling widely while she looked on ahead of her. "I don't want the Yuzu in there to ever feel that she has to hide anything from anyone." Noku spoke while the wind tousled her hair, "Especially herself."

Luna smiled and halted her bike, turning in to a tricky direction. "Yuzu-chan! What are you doing?" Noku asked as she followed the dark haired girl, while they changed the route. "Noku..." Luna spoke while she turned to her, "What is it Yuzu-chan?" Noku asked while Luna smiled. "I miss my friends-" "who?"

"My Persacoms..." Luna spoke her face saddening, Noku's look became jealous. "What about them?" Noku asked while they stopped at the gates of Minoru's property. Luna looked at Noku, "Nono-chan... These Persacoms have been with me since before I was made..." Luna spoke while she scratched her head nervously. "They are...dear to me." Luna spoke, Noku gave out a sigh.

"What do you want me to do?" Noku asked her, seeing Luna give if possible, a wicked smile. "Help me steal them." "-WHAT?" Noku turned and was about to leave, "Oh please Noku?" Luna begged making Noku freeze. 'Yuzuki never asked for favors...' Noku thought. 'Yuzu-chan never dared to ask anyone for help...' She thought while she looked to Luna.

Luna could have sworn she saw doubt in Noku's eyes. Luna sighed, and shook her head in a smile. "Gomen-nasai Miss Noku." Luna spoke while she bowed, and smiled to her. "I won't drag you into this, you can go." Luna spoke while mounted her bike. 'She's going to do it alone?' Noku thought in alarm while she was about to shout at her. "Nono-chan is still my most precious friend." She heard her shout while she passed through the gates.

Guilt entered her while she watched her ride off. 'I want to go...' Noku thought, 'But what she just did wasn't anything like Yuzuki...' Her mind persisted. More guilt entered while she saw her continue. Just then, a body shot passed her... a body... on a bike? "T-tsutomu-kun!" He turned and smiled to her, "Just because she does something spontaneous don't think it's not her anymore. I know what you're thinking." His voice echoed in her head while her blush turned bright. "SHUT UP!" She shouted as she pedaled hard, following him.

The body that came up next to Yuene made her eyes go wide as she smiled to Tsutomu. "Just like you to believe in me Tsutomu-kun." Yuene spoke in a short laugh while she moved past the scenery. 'I'm sorry...' Noku thought as she felt tears come in her eyes, 'I'm just not use to all this yet.'

They passed many trees while they went through his property. "He has a lot of money doesn't he?" Tsutomu asked Luna, "He does." She confirmed. "Do you think he believes you?" Tsutomu asked her. "He does."

"You seem different..." Tsutomu told her while she smiled and balanced herself without touching her bike-handle. "It's harder to control my emotions in this body. Everything is a lot more...-" Tsutomu noticed the deep look she was thinking of a word. "It's...all...a lot cleaner." She told him with a smile. He felt his heart give out a slight thump, he smiled again turning to the wind could cool his blush. 'Yuzu will always be Yuzu, no matter what happens or how much she might change. She will always be Yuzuki.'

They passed the lake, Luna's mind drifted. 'The rock, it's still there..' She thought while they continued to pedal through his land. "Why did they make you anyway?" Tsutomu asked suddenly making Luna look at him. "I mean... how old are you really?" Tsutomu asked suddenly.

Luna giggled and looked up to the sky thinking. "Well I suppose I'd be about 14." Luna spoke seeing Tsutomu's shocked stare. "Well.. I was created when Mr. Minoru was 10, and he's 24 now.. So I'm about 14 years old." Luna spoke. Tsutomu sputtered, '14?'

She giggled at his shocked stare, "I guess you were expecting me to say I was 100 years old or something." "-Well, with the way you act." He was cut off by her stare. "I don't act old, Tsutomu-san." 'Crap is she mad at me?'

"You just act.. Sophisticated." He told her making her blink. "You act very mature." Luna blushed at this, 'Mature?' She thought as her mouth curves in a small smile while the mansion came into view. 'I guess I did get a little bit of his sisters habits...even in this body.' She thought stopped suddenly. Then turned to them, noticing them stop as well. "Thank you for coming with me this far." Luna spoke while she bowed low. Making both blush while she turned to look at them.

"I'm going to go inside and get them. Please wait out here." She spoke, and with that she left off on her bike. Noku was about to shout out after her but Tsutomu took her shoulder and shook his head. "Let her do this her way..." He told her while Noku glared at him. 'Stop taking her side...' She thought as her look turned sad.

They noticed her get off her bike and run into the house. Tsutomu took Noku by the hook of the arm and dragged her into some of the bushes. "Hey!-what?-" "It'll be pretty obvious that something is up if you see two teens standing outside a rich guys house don't you think?" Tsutomu asked her seeing Noku blush crimson. "H-hai.."

Luna entered her old home. She gasped when she noticed everything was incredibly dirty. That and the excess use of wine bottles scattered all over the floor. She heard moans and from upstairs and instantly felt sick. 'What?...' She thought while she was about to turn around and bumped into a body, almost shouting but a large hand covered her pink lips. "Shh, it's me." Minoru's voice spoke.

She bit hard on his hand, making his rasp and pull his hand away from her. "Don't touch me." Luna spoke her face looking to him angrily; Minoru's eyebrows rose slightly while Luna blinked. 'There it is again...free emotion.' She thought while she walked passed him and looked around the house. "Where are they?" Luna asked Minrou. He found it easy to ignore the ongoing moans now, "Who?" Minoru asked as she marched up to him and looked him in the eye. "My friends, where are they?"

'The Persacoms...' He thought while he noticed Luna's eyes water. "You're a lot more emotional now." He spoke to her calmly. "It's not my fault-" She sputtered, "It's this body. I seem to react strongly to things I find.. Distasteful." Luna spoke and put her hands on her hips. "Oh?" He asked her while she noticed him smile. 'I hate it when you do that.' "What's that look for?" Minoru asked. Luna turned away, "You are very distasteful." She said meanly while turned and looked through the house, giving out a light sigh when she noticed all the mess.

"They wont listen to her you know." he spoke to her while she continued to search, following her through the mansion. "Why are you walking around this place so casually?" Minoru asked her, "You're the stranger that I got the restraining order from remember?" Minoru asked making her smile and turn to him. "If I recall correctly, you called that off the minute you figured out that Miss Yuzuki was acting different." She spoke seeing his shocked face.

While she continued to move around the house he noticed her enter the kitchen and search it out. "You're human now, I could take advantage of you." he told her, his eyes going dark. He stiffened from her laugh. "No Mr. Kokubunji-san you would never do such a thing." She said and turned to him with angry eyes, "you would hire real men to do the job for you." She snapped.

That stung...

He noticed his guilt starting to return when he noticed her move around the room going past him. Her scent filled his nostrils, "I offered you my apologies for that..." He told her, his voice sounded hurt. "Of course you did, and I rejected them, along with your engagement proposal." She said lightly while walking past the hallway and into the wash room. She never saw him flinch...

"I have to stop myself from killing her you know..." Minoru spoke to her as she opened the back door, her back to him. "I have to control my self when I'm around her... knowing what she made me do to you." Luna smiled weakly and turned to her. "You'd rather kill me than harm that body." She spoke as she was about to step out into the back yard.

He strode to her with lighting speed and held her there, even when she struggled to get out of his hold. "Yuzuki...please..." Minoru spoke while she shoved him away, he noticed her blush hot. Tears in her eyes while she shook her head, "I won't forgive you! I wont-never! And don't call me that name!" Luna shouted while she covered her face and turned around, "Miss Yuene... she is who I am now..." Luna spoke turning to him. "I'm not going back, so you're stuck with Miss Yuzuki." She spoke to him seeing his expression morph into a dark one... one that was desperate. "But I..." She noticed him still.

"You can't say it even now." Luna spoke as she gave a small spin, "You hate this body." She spoke and noticed him stare at her. "You hate me-" "NO!" Arms went around her small waist as he hugged her tightly to him. "I don't hate you, I don't hate Yuzuki." He spoke his nose nestled in her hair. It was soft as silk as he inhaled, closing his eyes as he remembered her body. The curves were just in the right place... 'Was Yuzuki able to always be this way, even though her body is different now?' He thought while he held her tighter.

"Mr. Minoru...-tch..-You're...hurting me." She said her voice pain filled in his ear. "I'm sorry." He whispered to her. "I'm sorry..." He said as his hold on her eased, he looked at her face, he never noticed how pretty Luna was, especially without the masks of make up on her. Her face was very clean and her eyes- He felt his heart stop when he noticed them... he saw himself in her eyes.

His hands came on either side of her face; she trembled and went silent while he looked her directly in the eyes. "I know that you can't forgive me for what I did..." He told her while he pressed his forehead against her own. 'This feels so strange...but...' he sighed when he closed his eyes, "Selfishly, I want you to. No matter how long it might take for you to do so..." His eyes opened again, 'It's all right here...all my happiness... in the strangest form.'

"Luna..." He spoke to her making the girl shiver. "Luna I lo-"

"Miss Yuene?" One of the Persacoms asked while making both of them stiffen. Luna whirled her head around and noticed her friend. Her face scratched up, pieces of skin missing, clothes torn. 'Oh my god...'

"What happened to you?" Luna asked her body shaking, the maid simply smiled. "Miss Yuzuki isn't feeling well since her operation an-" Arms came around her as she hugged her. The maid stiffened, "W-what..." She asked a bit while she turned to the frantic Luna, sobbing against her. Minoru noticed the maid go stiff, her eyes started to flash slightly while her arms came around her, "Please don't cry...does my appearance sicken you Miss?" She asked making Luna sob harder. "How dare she...How dare she!" Luna cried while she touched her face. "I've always made sure nothing harmful came to my most precious friends...-" She said hugging her tighter, "M-Miss?"

"Miss Yuzuki would never do anything like this to you. Miss Yuzuki loves you 4 with all her heart!" Luna cried while he heard another form gasp behind him. "What are you doing here?" Shouted a very angry Yuzuki while charging to Luna, "I told you never to come here." Yuzuki shouted to Luna.

SLAP

Everyone blinked, "How dare you do something like this to my friends!" Luna shouted in tears, "I was ok knowing that they were safe! Even when Mr. Minoru had me raped I didn't feel this much hurt!" Luna shouted while she slapped her again. "How dare you do something as moronic as this!" She shouted while the other servants came out noticing them fight.

"I can do whatever the hell I please!" Yuzuki shouted angrily reaching to slap Luna, the main servant that she holding came in front of them both and shielded Luna from the hit.

Luna stilled watching this as the servant looked to Yuzuki. "We have felt something strange from the beginning." one after another spoke, the second servant coming in while the other held Luna up. "Miss Yuzuki was never violent..." The one holding her spoke. "But... we notice that you Miss Yuzuki act nothing like Miss Yuzuki." She spoke, her clothes almost falling off. Minoru held back Yuzuki form lancing on her. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING! LET GO OF ME!" Yuzuki shouted struggling with him.

Yuzuki noticed Luna looking to her, anger leaving her eyes. "I'm taking them..." Luna spoke while she turned to her, "I'm taking them away. " Luna spoke while Yuzuki angrily reached to her, "YOU CAN'T-" "You may take them, Luna." Minoru's voice cut her off. "WHAT?" Yuzuki asked struggling while Luna gently took their hands.

"You won't be hurting anymore, I'm going to repair you myself." Luna spoke gently to them. "Miss...Yuzuki?" One of them asked while they followed her. Luna blinked, "Now why would you say something like that-" Hands went to her chest, "This always changed in motion when we were with Miss Yuzuki." One spoke. "Yes.." another one agreed, "Miss Yuzuki would always be happy when we were there, she would try to smile."

"But after the operation... Miss Yuzuki, wasn't Miss Yuzuki." One spoke and all nodded, "She forgot our names completely, and said that we were items not ...-" They were cut off by Luna's hug. "Yoko, Naoko, Kioko, and Suki." She spoke to them, their eyes glowed. "Those were the names that Miss Yuzuki gave you..." She spoke while the girls looked at her.

"Miss Luna..." Yoko spoke while running her palm along her cheek. "We...wish to go with you." Naoko spoke. Luna blinked seeing all four smile, "Luna never thought twice about us-"

"And she would never call us her precious friends." Kioko continued. Arms surrounded her, "Miss Yuene feels warm and her heart is beating in the same rhythm as Miss Yuzuki's once did." Suki added, while she reached to hold her.

Luna felt her eyes water, she reached to wipe them away while she was held by them. "This feels so weird..." She cried while she held onto them, "When I woke up in this body I didn't know what to do." She spoke looking to Yoko, her tears falling. Her blush dark from embarrassment while they only smiled. "Everything started going on so slow...I begged Mr. Yuene to let me out... I thought I was going crazy." Luna chocked while she looked to them.

"We will stay and protect Miss Luna's feelings...' The four spoke while they began to giggle. "I noticed it when Miss Yuzuki started to speak to us meanly." Yoko spoke. "Well I noticed it when I checked Miss Yuzuki's data." Kioko spoke. "That and she did plump up a little didn't she?" Luna smiled weakly and giggled with them, "I guess I did get a little fat". Luna spoke while the four held her stomach, "We believe you've always held a nice figure Miss." They spoke seeing all 5 giggle.

Minoru stood there watching them as they left. 'That is...Yuzuki.' He thought while he noticed her friends come out to her while she smiled to another boy.

Yet another sting... 'what?' He thought while he noticed her mount her bike while she talked to him in a friendly manner, he saw her smile to him and laugh with the others as she rid off. His hand clenched hard, as he noticed them leave and disappear in the distance.

'I... don't want to loose her.' He thought while he looked up at the sky, giving out a gentle sight while he noticed a little but of wind pick up around him. 'I'm such a fool...'
