"Kureno! Hatori! Look a shooting star!" said Lira pointing up at the sky
"Lira what do you know about shooting stars?" asked Hatori ruffling her hair "Your only twelve."
"Ayame-nii told me about it." said Lira smiling "I think when I get older I want to design clothes like Ayame-nii."
"Just don't make the same clothes as he does." Said Hatori and they all heard the phone ring on the inside "Kureno can you watch Lira for me, while I get that."
"Sure," Hatori left and Lira took Hatori's seat next to Kureno "You didn't learn that from Ayame-san did you?"
"Oh, you figured it out, Kureno-chan?" asked Lira smiling at him "No, Ayame-nii didn't tell me that it was Kanna-chan. I guess I just didn't want to bring up memories for Hatori…"
"I never understood her."
"Ah! Look Kureno-chan another shooting star!" exclaimed Lira pointing up "Make a wish!"
"I probably never could understand her."
Lira closed her eyes and made a wish but then Lira felt someone touch the side of her face and kiss the side of her cheek.
"Huh?" she opened her eyes to see Kureno with a small smile on his face "Kureno-chan…"
"It might seem sick, but at the moment I was in love with Lira and sometimes when I see her close her eyes and wish like that…I believe I still am."
"Lira don't be so mean!" said Akito attempting to kiss her and Lira looked the other way making him kiss her cheek "Playing hard to get I see."
"I'm not in the mood…" she muttered
"But I thought you liked our games?" said Akito getting on top of her as he laid on the ground
"…Shut up, Akito." Said Lira looking at him
"Just admit it Lira, like me taking advantage of you." said Akito his lips getting close to hers
"Akito…please" Lira whispered closing her eyes.
"Akito," said Kureno opening the door "I'm sorry to…oh…"
Kureno caught sight of Akito on top of Lira and he felt his heart being crushed, it wasn't the face that Akito had Lira it was the fact Lira looked so helpless and he couldn't help her. Lira opened her eyes and looked at Akito then Kureno and Kureno felt his heart squirm.
"Well, Kureno?" asked Akito angrily "What is it? I was having fun with my favorite girl."
"There's a phone call for you…from the main house." Said Kureno looking away from Lira
"Well tell them to call back later." Said Akito looking back at Lira hungrily "Lira and I have a lot of catching up to do."
"They say it's urgent." Kureno said a little to quickly
Akito sighed but before getting up he kissed Lira, at first Lira sounded shocked but then relaxed and Kureno saw her slender arms go around Akito's body.
"A-Akito…the main house…" Kureno said through gritted teeth
Akito separated from Lira and licked his lips than kissed Lira on the forehead and got up.
"As usual…you taste wonderful Lira." Said Akito leaving the room "Maybe someday I'll make you my wife."
"If that day ever comes," said Lira sitting up "I hope to set you free Akito."
"You say that as if he is trapped." Said Kureno
"He is…you guys just don't realize it yet…all of us are trapped but it takes…someone…like Miss Honda…to set us all free." Said Lira looking at him smiling "It's been so long Kureno…sorry about the show."
"It's fine." Said Kureno turning to leave
"Wait, don't leave so soon." Said Lira getting up "We haven't seen each other in ages. We should catch up before Akito comes looking for me."
"Why?" asked Kureno looking at her
"Because…well this might sound dumb…but I've missed you Kureno." Said Lira flushing a little
"When she said that…I felt my heart be lifted and picked up piece by piece…""Okay lets go for a walk, then." Said Kureno leading her to the patio
"But as she picked up the pieces of my heart, there was someone's picking them up with her. I believe it was Arisa…and as I walked with Lira and she smiled and laughed…I wanted to watch her forever…like Arisa."
"Wow, time sure does fly." Said Kureno looking at the night sky
"But isn't it beautiful out here?" asked Lira smiling at Kureno "Kureno maybe we'll be able to see a shooting star!"
"A shooting star?" Kureno repeated
"Yes, remember that night on the porch?" asked Lira
"You…remembered?" asked Kureno taking a step closer to her
"Of course I do." she said smiling "do you want to know what I wished for?"
"World Peace?" asked Kureno
"Nope! I wished for you to find someone who's very special to you!" said Lira "that way I could really see you smile."
"I could never understand her," thought Kureno taking Lira into his arms and holding her "she thinks of nothing but other people, never of herself."
"Kureno?" said Lira "What's wrong?"
"She even gave up Kyo, her first love so that he could be truly happy." Thought Kureno as he held Lira and a tear fell down his face "but yet she smiles…and it's not fake at all…its real…like Arisa's."
"Kureno? Please say something!" said Lira
"I'm alright…just let me hold you for a while." Whispered Kureno "I love you Lira…thank you…"
"Huh?"
"Kureno! Lira!" yelled Akito and Kureno slowly let go Lira as Akito walked towards them "don't tell me your in love with Kureno now Lira."
"Well I do love Kureno but I'm not in love with him…but I am in love with you Akito." Said Lira before kissing him on the cheek
"Hmm there's a good girl." said Akito kissing Lira on the forehead "Kureno, go into the house, Lira and I are taking a walk."
"Of course." Said Kureno and left to the house but before going inside he saw a shooting star and he closed his eyes and made a wish.
"I wish that Lira lives a happy life."
