Episode 1 Act 4: Second Times a Charm?

Bored, Krahazik shadow shifts several blocks down to a pay phone. Making sure no one can see he stepped out of the shadow and up to the phone looking at it with no idea how to work it. He begin studying the writing on the phone. Lets see, I have seen people using this communications device. He thinks to him self studying the instructions.

Michelle watched the scene unfold with Krahazik, Saturn and Mercury. When Krahazik left she followed his energy signature and found him at the phone booth. "What was all that about with Saturn Krahazik?" she asked.

Krahazik glances down in thought. "I have a bad history with destroyers of worlds, 3 of them so far." He looks a bit ashamed "When I herd Hotaru was one I panicked. All that has saved me on 2 occasions was my ship getting me off world before it was destroyed. But my ship is scrap now."

"Oh, I never knew. Sorry to hear that Krahazik." Michelle replies softly.

Krahazik shrugs, "So what is there to do for fun, or what do you do for fun?" He glances up at the moon, There is about another four hours left of the night.

"Well there is lot's to do, but I would just like to stay with you. That is enough for me." Michelle replies.

Krahazik leans against the phone booth smiling at Michelle. "Ah. I just asked as the local populace probably wouldn't like the majority of my ideas of fun."

"I guess. Do you want to just sit here and watch the stars?" Michelle asked, grabbing Krahazik's hand and blushing.

Krahazik squeezes Michelle's hand warmly. "Sure. I can always watch the stars. Even when their mirrored in your eyes." He looks into Michelle's eyes smiling. He stands close to Michelle transfixed looking into her eyes. Fur lying relaxed, tail twitching happily.

Hotaru walks a little more thinking, then stops. In front of her, she sees Michelle with Krahazik. She fell into shadows.

Michelle blushed and nodded. She sat down on a bench near by and looked back into Krahazik's eyes. She was lost in his honey gaze.

Krahazik sits down with Michelle, his eyes never leaving hers. He begins to purr softly.

Michelle blushed a deep crimson. She leaned in a kisses Krahazik's cheek.

Lita sighed, as she walked into her apartment complex and sat her keys on the table, after closing the door and locking it. She placed her bag down and went into the kitchen. Once there, she picked up her apron and tied it across her waist, and began getting the ingredients ready to make rice balls, sweets, and everything else she made for lunch.
Lita hummed while she cooked, not having a care in the world when she was in the kitchen. Her kitchen was her sanctuary and cooking was her outlet.

Krahazik wavers a bit, planting a kiss of his own on Michelle's cheek in return with a smile.

Michelle blushed. She whispered "I love you Krahazik." under her breath, totally forgetting that he had cat-like hearing.

Krahazik blinks, eyes seaming to get brighter with the short hairs on his face beginning to turn crimson. Tail freezes mid-swish. The first rays of dawn begin to peek over the horizon. "Shall I escort you home my lovely."

"I would like that my love... thank you." Michelle did not realize she had called him her "love" until a few seconds after she said it.

Smiling, Krahazik stands and helps Michelle to stand. "Lead the way princess."

"Serena is the princess, but alright." Michelle smiled and started to head towards her home. As she walked, Michelle started sing.

"Out of all the boys, you're not like the others
From the very first day, I knew we'd be lovers
In my wildest dreams, my darkest desire
Would I declare to you, your love takes me higher
Just when we both thought our lives were set in stone
They shone a light, and brought us together

We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as one..."

Krahazik listened intently on the song. "Well your my princess." He smiles as the walk to her home. "That is a sweet song."

Michelle blushed. "Thanks my price... I learned this song a few weeks ago."

Hotaru rolled her eyes at the two. She followed closely, staying hidden in the shadows. She walked quietly and swiftly. She never made a sound.

"Your most welcome. Till we meet again my princess." Krahazik says leaving Michelle at her place. He turns back down the street absently walking in Hotaru's direction. Too preoccupied to notice her. Tail swinging happily. He pauses to lean on a still lit lamp poll and a brief jolt pops the bulb. He doesn't even notice.

Hotaru crouches and continues to watch Krahazik.

"Hmmmm" Krahazik glances about as a car drives by taking note of the dawn. "It would not be good to be seen like this in daylight. And I'm tired." he says aloud to him self glancing at the growing shadow being cast by the lamp poll. Now that it has no light of its own.

Hotaru's eyes started to fall closed. She falls down and starts to drift to sleep.

Krahazik notices Hotaru as she falls down and watches as she goes to sleep on the side of a building. With a smile he walks over to her whispering: "Looks like it has been a long night for you as well." Places his hands on his hips. With a shake of his head he picks her up. "Guess I can't just leave you here. But I don't know where she lives. Oh well." He takes a step and melds with the nearest shadow shifting to his place outside of the city.
