Well, I think the title says it all:

Chapter 5: Stargazing

WOOHOOO! Let's get the chapter moving!


"Stargazing?" Lost cocked her head, obviously confused by Ren's question. "What's that?"

"When you look at the stars in the night sky," Ren explained. "Stars are directly related to spirits. The best spot in this Spirit-forsaken town is at the Funbari Graveyard."

"That sounds scary!" Lost cowered. "A graveyard is where dead people live!"

"You remember that, but you don't remember what your name is?" Ren asked skeptically and she nodded, sheepish. "Anyway...we're going to the graveyard and that's final."

"Okay," Lost mumbled. "Should I go get changed?"

"Change into something warm," Ren instructed. "We go at Midnight."


The sun was just setting and Ren was watching the sun lower under the tall buildings of Funbari though the wide windows in the room. Bason was standing behind him, looking as though he wanted to speak, but was afraid to.

"What is it Bason?" Ren asked coldly. "I'm getting annoyed by you standing over me like that."

"Well…Master Ren," Bason spoke slowly, as if cautious. "It seems that Lady Lost would rather go to another spot then the graveyard. Perhaps you should take her somewhere else?"

"We're going to the Graveyard," Ren snapped. "It's the best spot."

"But…umm…not the most…what is the word…" Bason searched for it. "Oh yes, romantic."

"It's not supposed to be romantic you idiot!" Ren yelled and Bason backed off, nodding to Ren. "I'm just tired of being cooped up in this dumb house all day."

"Of course Master Ren."

"Umm…Ren?" Ren turned around to see Lost coming up to him in another one of Jun's smaller sized dresses – this one long sleeved and colored violet with lily patterns and high slits. "Is this dress all right?"

"It'll be fine," Ren snuffed and turned back towards the window, trying to hide the blush on his face.

"Ren-san?"

"What?" he snapped, growing annoyed.

"D-do…do we have to go to the Graveyard?"

Ren turned around, his eyebrows narrowed. "Yes! I told you! It's the best spot!"

"B-but…I'm scared…"

"I don't care!" Ren snapped and then walked over to his room. "I'm going to get ready! We're leaving in six hours!"


Ren stood in front of the mirror five hours later, still straightening his tie. "Damn tie, won't stay damn straight!" He snarled, trying to straighten it more. It was black, like his jacket and knee length-shorts. He wore a white dress shirt and polished shoes. "Dammit!"

"Are you all right Master Ren?" Bason asked, poking his head through the door…literally.

"This dumb tie won't stay straight!" he snapped to Bason.

"I'll tighten it!" Lost slammed the door open, walking straight through Bason and running to Ren's side. She quickly grabbed the tie and started to straighten it.

"Wh-what? Were you listening at the door the entire time?"

"I got bored…" she bit her lower lip, looking slightly guilty. She finally released the tie. "There! Perfect!" Ren looked in the mirror and almost cocked a smile. The tie was straight…finally. "Ready to go?"

"Whatever," Ren shrugged and walked out of his room. "Bason, stay here, I'll be fine without you."

"Whatever you say Master Ren," Bason nodded.

"C'mon," Ren said gruffly, and he took Lost's arm in the crook of his. "We're going." Ren blushed as Lost snuggled up close to him, his face now crimson with embarrassment.

As the two walked out, Bason watched them go and sighed. "I hope it will not rain tonight."


"Here we are," Ren sniffed as they arrived at the graveyard on the hill. Lost looked up at the tree in the very middle. "C'mon, we're going to the top."

"R-Ren…" Lost whimpered. "I'm scared."

"Don't be such a baby! Seriously," Ren scoffed. "You can see ghosts can't you? They can't scare you that much!"

"I-it's not that…" Lost whimpered again. "I'm just scared…that's all…"

"You're being ridiculous, c'mon!" Ren grasped her hand tightly and jerked her forward, making her whine slightly.

"R-Ren!"

"I said c'mon!" he yelled again. But he didn't get very far before Lost snapped her hand away from his and dropped to the ground, grabbing her arms in fear. "What the hell is wrong with you!"

"I…I…I…" Lost was breathing heavily and sweating bullets. Her eyes were wide, bulging, and slightly red from blood-shot. "I don't wanna…"

"What? What don't you want to do?" Ren asked a little frightened.

"I don't want to eat dirt…" Lost whimpered. "Don't make me, please!"

"Eat…dirt?" Ren asked, his own eyes wide in horror and curiosity. "What the devil are you talking about!"

"I DON'T WANT TO EAT IT! DON'T MAKE ME!" Lost writhed, screaming loudly. "ARGGGH!" Her head fell into the dirt, as if someone was pushing her. She screamed and threw her head up. "I don't want to eat Mommy's dirt!"

"LOST!" In a flash, Ren snatched Lost across the waist and pulled her back from the dirt against a tombstone. Lost breathed heavily in Ren's arms, and Ren was sweating slightly. "Lost…what the hell was that?"

"I…I don't know…" Lost mumbled. "I just remember…someone held my head…in a graveyard…and…I had to eat the dirt…I screamed…"

"Who in the world would make you eat dirt?" Ren asked skeptically. "C'mon, let's go watch the stars."

"I'm scared of this place…" Lost mumbled again. "I'm scared you'll make me eat Mommy's dirt."

"Mommy's…dirt?" Ren asked. "Your mother…is she…dead?"

Lost looked up, as if realizing something. "Yes…yes! Yes! My mother…she's dead… I don't remember her name…only…only that she's dead."

"Is she buried here?" Ren asked her.

"No…not here…" Lost shook her head. "She's buried far away…"

"I see…" Ren stopped, looked at the tree and the hill, and sighed. "Fine…I'll take you someplace else."

"Huh?" Lost turned around to see Ren standing up.

"I said I'll take you someplace else! Get up before I change my mind!" Ren snapped and started to walk out of the graveyard, Lost looking after him. She smiled, got up, and sped after Ren, not wanting to be left behind.


"This is the second best spot," Ren snuffed. The two had walked for a while through the city and had finally come across a river right under the stars on the edge of town. Ren sat down near the bank and Lost joined him, staring at the stars.

"They're so pretty Ren!" she laughed, pointing to the stars in the sky.

"Yeah…they are, aren't they?" Ren asked, smiling at the stars.

"That's the first time you've smiled!" Ren stopped and turned to see Lost grinning at him.

"Wh…what?"

"You just smiled!" Lost laughed. "I've never seen you smile like that!" Ren blushed crimson as Lost giggled. He decided to change the subject.

"See that?" he pointed to a star in the sky. "That's Orion's belt."

"Huh? No it isn't, it's a star!" Lost told him.

"You're so dumb. Stars make up constellations! That's part of Orion, the hunter of the sky!" Ren snapped.

"Oh…" Lost smiled and pointed to a star. "What's that one?"

"That's…that's Ursa Major," Ren explained. "And that's the North Star."

"Which star is that?" Lost asked giggling. Ren looked at it.

"That one?" Ren stared closely. "I don't know…I've never seen that star before. I know every star in the sky."

"Then let's name it together!" Lost suggested happily and Ren gave a short scoff. "What should we name it?"

"How about "this is dumb"?" Ren suggested.

"No, that's a bad name!" Lost frowned. "I know…let's call it…Love!"

"Love?" Ren asked skeptically. "What a dumb name for a star…"

"How about…Lost Love then?" Lost suggested. "Like my name!"

Ren looked at her, and blushed. Trying to shake it off, he threw himself down on the grass and looked up at the sky. "Whatever, like I care anyway."

Lost lay down next to him, smiling widely at her new star. "It'll be our star! Lost Love," she smiled warmly. "What a wonderful name for our star…"

Ren stopped and turned his head towards Lost who's eyes were shining brilliantly as she looked affectionately at the star. Her hair was shining in the moonlight, and her beautiful facial features were accentuated by the calm light of the river. Ren couldn't help himself, he moved closer to Lost, his body now snuggled against hers. "Ren?" Lost turned her head, and they both blushed as they saw that their faces were only centimeters away.

"Lost…I…" Ren was breathing heavily, up and down, up and down. He looked at her innocent, sweet face and couldn't help himself. He closed his eyes and pushed his face forward onto hers.

And kissed her nose.

"Heh, heh, that tickles!" Lost giggled as Ren opened his eyes, amazed that she could talk through a kiss. Ren stared at Lost, and realized his mistake. He blushed brightly crimson. "What was that Ren?"

"N-n-n-nothing!" Ren quickly covered, getting up quickly, not being able to believe his stupidity. "It's…it's…what you do when you're done stargazing!"

"Huh?" Lost asked, a little disappointed. "That means it's over?"

"Yeah, it's over!" Ren snapped. "C'mon! We're going back home!"

"W-wait for me!" Lost called after him, grabbing his arm as the two walked along the road by the river.


"Umm…Ren?" Lost asked as the two walked along the surface streets.

"What?"

"Thanks…for taking me stargazing tonight…" Lost said softly.

"Feh," Ren blushed and scoffed. "It was just to get you to shut up."

"Oh," Lost smiled warmly at Ren, then grabbed his hand and stopped him. Ren turned around, obviously annoyed.

"What!"

Before Ren could say anything else, Lost pressed her lips to his nose, and he felt his face turn crimson. He didn't stop her until she was finished. "Wh-what was that?"

"You said that you do that when you've finished stargazing with somebody!" Lost told him, giggling. She grabbed Ren's arm and started pulling him down the street. "C'mon! I'm tired, let's get back home!"


"Umm…Master Ren?" Bason inquired as Ren opened the door, Lost in his arms, fast asleep.

"She got sleepy, so I had to carry her, all right?" Ren snapped.

"Yes Master Ren," Bason bowed.

"I'll put her on the couch," Ren threw Lost down on the couch and then grabbed a blanket. He put it over her sleeping form, and then fluffed the pillow that was under her head. "There."

"How were the stars Master Ren?" Bason asked.

"Fine…we found a new one," Ren shrugged.

"A new…star?"

"Lost called it "Lost Love". How cheesy is that?" Ren asked, scoffing lightly. He looked back at Lost, then narrowed his eyes. "Bason!"

"Yes Master Ren?"

"Go outside for a moment, I think I sense something out there."

"Are you sure Master Ren? I do not sense any-"

"JUST GO FOOL!"

"Yes, Master Ren," Bason bowed and quickly flew outside of the room. Once Ren sensed that Bason had completely left, he went around to Lost and sat down next to her.

"It…was nothing…" Ren told himself more then her. "I…I didn't really want to kiss you. It…was just…an impulse, that's all." Ren shook his head. "An impulse…just like this…" Ren moved his face down to hers and kissed her lightly on the nose. Once he rose his head, he looked at her. "Just an impulse…"

With that, Ren walked over to his room, opened the door, and shut it behind him.
