Oh, for an easier time reading my FanFictions, Italics are thoughts, Underline are titles of chapters, and Bolds are notes from me.
Introduction
Hi, my name is Mahiru Shiraishi and I'm a junior in high school. I'm an average school girl, oh, well, I guess I have to take that back. My parents died in a car crash, and since then I've been living with my aunt. But there's another weird thing about me. It seems if I touch someone or if someone touches me, they get good luck. I'm stuck with all of the bad luck. It's like they suck all of the luck out of me! Oh yeah! Whenever I have my period or when it's the full moon, I have this dream about a Princess and a demon. There was also a song that begins with "Princess, Princess, why do you cry? In the forest painted by the setting sun, I made a promise to a demon boy," and I always heard that song when I saw my dreams. I learned it from my grandmother. I love to swim, and when I'm underwater, that's also what I see. One day a bumped onto a guy at the library when I was doing so research about the Princess and the demon. It turns out that my dream was the legend of "The Demon and the Minister of the Left". The guy said that he was called Nozomu Moegi. He picked out a book with a really good explanation of the legend, and while I read it, I began to sing the song. After the first line I sang, Nozomu joined in too. I was really surprised that he did. No one that I knew heard the song before. Later I found out that he had some friends by the names of Misoka Asagi, Mitsuru Suou, and Akira Yamabuki. Shortly after that, I found out that they weren't human, and they were all members of what is called the Lunar Race. Their mission was to reclaim gems called Teardrops of the Moon. Those stones supplied them with power to transform into their alternate forms. Nozomu is a vampire, Misoka is a fox demon, Mitsuru is a tengu (I think that's a long-nosed goblin, but if you look on the back cover of Volume 1, it says he's a bat.), and Akira is a werewolf. When there is a full moon, they transform just fine, but when it's a new moon, they're all powerless. So during their missions, they rely on me. I'm the so called "Descendant of the Princess" and I have the power to extract energy from the moon. I also have another power. I can sense the power of the Teardrops of the Moon. But there are obstacles along the way. The family of Dawn's Venus is always intersecting our plans. One of my classmates, Keiko Himura, is a member of Dawn's Venus. I don't treat her as an enemy like I should. She's a good person, so I think of her as a friend.
Life is dandy I guess. I'm still going to school as normal, and Nozomu, Misoka, Mitsuru, and Akira have all been looking after me from a distance. I've moved in with the Lunar Race for our convenience. I help out with Oboro Kurosaki's bar, the Moon Shine. We all call him Master. Katsura Shion plays the piano for everyone, and my friends dance and sing along with her. But Katsura isn't always a "her". She lives the first half the month as a woman and the second half as a man. Nozomu was kind enough to give me one of his specially trained bats to me. Mr. Bat is the name that I gave him, but sometimes I call him Batty. He sleeps at night so that we can all sleep. Whenever I need something, I can talk to Nozomu through him. It's really convenient. We've all worked hard to retrieve the Teardrops of the Moon, and I say that we've done a really good job. We had some tough times though. Mitsuru almost died, and Akira was very badly injured. But we still pulled through to the end.
So, here we are. This is what I call my family now. Even though we're not related (they're not human, remember?), I've grown to be really close to them. And I know, one day we'll retrieve all of the Teardrops of the Moon. One day the Lunar Race and humans will be able to live together in peace again.
