-Prince Astral Heven
'BATAM! PATA! PATA!'
It was the sign that Tsukiya Hana School has opened their latest even of the year, the School Cultural Festival. Everyone are having lots of fun as they play games and visiting lots of other stalls that continue different sorts for each class. Some of them were only interested watching at the cool and cute guys or pretty girls around the school campus.
Okay let's stop the description of the school's ground and head to somewhere else shall we? To Tsukiya Hana School's auditorium backstage, everyone were preparing al the sets, the roles, the costumes and etc(sorry but I simply don't know what'll be like in a school's auditorium backstage). Migaya-sensei was also there organizing at the dressing with the help of her two students.
"Everything are all in organize, Migaya-sensei." The girl said.
"The costumes are lined up." Said the other.
"Excellent. Now to gather everyone, please." Said Migaya.
"ROGER, MIGAYA-SENSEI!" they exclaimed.
And 'zoom' two students went off as fast as a cheetah, Migaya just smiled at the way her two students did. The blackish raven haired woman was smiling too excitedly but behind her the other students were staring at her very frightening at her smile(you should all know by now why they're afraid of her).
"It looks like it's going to be a busy day." She said to herself. "I wonder who are our main role characters are doing?"
-Somewhere in the School
"I really hate it now." Izumi whined irritated.
Izumi was angry as a wild tiger as she was trying to scare the three boys off her but nothing seems to be working what she tries to do. Takuya, Kouji and Kouichi were staring right behind the blonde beauty also young Tomoki was included in the group.
"What's the matter, Izumi-neechan? A while ago you were excited and now you're complaining." Said Tomoki.
"Aah… I think it's because her fan clubs started to follow us." Takuya answered.
"Oi don't forget ours too." Kouichi whispered
The young fourteen year old boy blinked three… no make it five times confusedly and curious at what they're trying to say. Kouichi just pointed behind him using his thumb on his left hand. Tomoki followed the direction where it was pointing at it. As his sapphire eyes follow the direction he sweat-drop as he saw many fan clubs were watching at them. He looked at Kouji as he was about to ask him something but he stopped as he saw how terrified the lone wolf lad looks.
"Wow, Kouji-niisan looks scary than ever." Tomoki whispered.
"I wonder if he's like that when it comes to fan clubs." The brunette lad whispered.
"But this is the first time I've seen him like that. The last time I saw him, he was calm and cool." Said Izumi sharing the information.
"Really? Then what terrifies him more?" Kouichi wondered
All four of them thought really hard to find the right answers on what made the long blackish blue haired lad looked terrified, but they give up. Izumi was about to say something but a loud yet familiar voice interrupts her. This time it was her turn to look terrified.
"What's the matter, Izumi-chan?" Takuya asked her.
The blonde haired girl was still in speechless to talk back to answer Takuya's question. Young Tomoki pulled the brunette lad's shirt gently as it caught his attention to the youngster. Then Tomoki pointed at his left side that looks very calm. Takuya followed the direction then he looks surprise to see the familiar person. Yes, everyone it's Junpei who looks very happy.
"IZUMI!" Junpei called.
"LET"S GET OUT OF HERE!" Izumi exclaimed.
Before the boys could say another word to the popular blonde haired girl beauty, Izumi had already dashed out fast while holding t Takuya's shirt. Then Takuya held both Tomoki and Kouichi, and the shorthaired lad held Kouji at his collar. As the blonde beauty ran very fast, their fan clubs including Junpei follows them around.
"Hey can you slow down a bit, Izumi? I think you're making dizzy for Tomoki." The elder twin pleaded.
Sadly, Izumi didn't hear what Kouichi was trying to tell her, which is a failure for the shorthaired lad's request. Takuya was about to do his way on stopping the girl's speed but when they ran past one of the crowds. The brunette lad was loss at words as he saw a young boy who looks about the same age as Tomoki, and the young was wearing a cap yet Takuya could only see the boy's back.
"That kid…" Takuya whispered.
"INCOMING POLE!" Kouichi yelled.
Takuya and Tomoki looked up ahead staring at the straight direction where they might be heading. Ahead of them they could see a sole pole that was coming from ahead of their direction. Of course this panics for the boys even Kouji who got his sense back, luckily Izumi manages to avoid the pole right in time. This relieves the boys, except Kouji who was back to his terrified look again after the almost bumping to the pole.
After of all the running around the school's ground, they managed to shake the fan clubs off their trail. Izumi was gasping a lot while she was trying to catch her breath again. Takuya, Kouichi, Kouji and Tomoki were resting on the ground so tiredly after things that happened to they have encountered.
"Now that's what I call a long day…" Kouichi mutters.
Kouichi and Kouji looked around on their surroundings then their eyes laid on another crowds to the stalls that they're seeing. To their surprises, they're also seeing the young boy with a cap over his head but they could only see the young boy's back just like what Takuya saw it earlier than the twins. They were really shocked, as they know the young boy.
"He can't be…" Kouji whispered.
"Was he really here?" the elder twin whispers.
"Hey you two!" Tomoki called the twins.
"It's time to go in the auditorium back stage, or Migaya-sensei will go crazy." The brunette lad reminded them.
The two twins answered back to their goggle head friend and got up from their feet. Before they could head out to the auditorium backstage, they turned around just to take one last look on the mysterious young boy with a cap. Unfortunately, they could no longer see the boy again only the remaining crowds they could only see. They began to wonder themselves either they're seeing things or not. Yet they suddenly remember that they need to go now or they'll meet their doom.
As the gang headed out to the backstage, the mysterious boy was walking down on the sides between two stalls. The young boy was eating a load of fish balls that he was carrying along with him.
"Hmmm… These are really good than the last time. I wonder what else do they have?" the boy wondered.
The mysterious young boy wondered around the school's ground curiously until he stepped over a flier on the ground. He squats down and took the flier, and then he reads it silently at the paper.
"The Moonflower Legend. A story of tragedy and love on Princess Luna as she conflicts her problems on her two best friends. This act will be play by Class 1-A." the boy read, "Ehe! I bet 'he's' also in this play."
-In the Auditorium backstage
Everybody are all in here including for Takuya, Kouichi, Kouji, Tomoki, and Izumi, they are all in their costume roles and they're too busy themselves on preparing for their turn. Some of them are helping out with their classmates on their lines, and some were helping out on putting the backgrounds in places.
"Whoa! I never thought this would be that busy." Tomoki amazed.
"Well… we better get dress up in our costumes right now." Takuya reminded once again.
"Yeah. I want to wear it now." Said Kouichi.
"Ne Minamoto-kun." Izumi called out.
Izumi was about to tell Kouji about dressing up in their costumes but she suddenly stopped as she saw the long haired lad has his terrified expression again that was on his face once more. Also it caught the other classes' attention to the lone wolf lad's face.
"What's the mater, Kouji? You looked terrify when Izumi-chan mentioned costumes. Is there something you want to share?" the brunette lad asked.
Kouji didn't reply out at Takuya's question, he was still in speechless and he's becoming more pale than before which really scares their pants off. Kouichi stared at his younger twin brother carefully then something hit the idea. The shorthaired lad formed another smile no a familiar smile that Takuya and Izumi knew it very well. Except for Tomoki who looked too confused at the elder twin lad's smile.
"Ne Izumi-neechan, Takuya-niisan, why do you looked scared at Kouichi-niisan?" the youngster asked them.
"Believe me Tomoki. You don't wanna know." Takuya told him. "Let's leave it be."
"Come on Tomoki-kun, you shouldn't be here now. And you should sit in the seat and watch our play alright?" said Izumi.
Tomoki gave out an understanding nod to the blonde beauty. He bid farewell to he teenagers and exiting the auditorium backstage. The two teenagers waved at the youngster with a forcing smile for a while. Then they tilt their heads to Kouichi who still has 'the smile' on his lips. And they felt a sudden shiver at that.
"I don't think I wanna know of Kouichi/Kouichi-kun's thought." Izumi and Takuya whispered.
"Okay everyone should be on their costumes by now." The girl of their class announced, "Also you four guys."
"Yeah we got that." The brunette lad answered.
Kouichi was already pulling the statue-pose Kouji along while he was holding on his collar and he still has 'the smile' on it. Takuya and Izumi pretended that they never know what the shorthaired lad was thinking or planning onto something for Kouji. They all headed out to their privacy on dressing up to their costumes
-Later on
"Hmmm… they should be done dressing up by now." The boy wondered.
"Well how do I look?" Takuya's voice asked.
The boy turned his head behind to see Takuya's costumes and he gasps surprisingly at the brunette lad's costumes appearance. He was wearing a traditional medieval royal prince style with a long cape that covers in front of his shirt, with no cap or his goggle over his head, the colors of his clothes were all deep red and black. And it matches perfectly to his looks. Then Kouichi and Kouji also came out of the dressing room. Their costumes were almost like Takuya's but theirs are unlikely different design. Kouji's costume has small blue cape that was hanging over his shoulder it only reaches for about five centimeters above his elbows and his costumes' colors are mainly deep blue and white. While Kouichi's costume doesn't has a cape or special collar and his colors are black and green.
"Sugoi! You guys look too awesome!" the girl complimented them.
"Waa! I knew my design would fit you three!" another one complimented.
"Now I can see why Migaya-sensei choose you guys." Said the third one.
"Of course I am." Said Migaya.
"Ahh… thanks guys." Answered the three boys.
"By the way where's Izumi?" Kouichi asked.
"I'm right behind you." Izumi's voice spoken.
Takuya, Kouji, and Kouichi turned their heads together to see Izumi's costumes, including their classmates and Migaya, who were all too excited to see the popular blonde girl's princess costume. To their amazement, Izumi was indeed so beautiful in her costume. She was wearing a silver white shoulder off dress with gold laces below her shoulder and around her waist, and her long sleeve was tied for about two inches above her elbows. She's also wearing a small and simple crown for a princess.
"Well what do you think guys?" she asked them nervously.
Everybody were all loss at words and they were busily mesmerizing at her princess suit even for Takuya, Kouji, and Kouichi. The blonde haired girl let out a sweat-drop above her head knowing that she was receiving 'awww' expressions on their faces.. As she turns on the trio boys to ask their opinion on her costumes but she could also know that they were also staring at her with deep crimson blush. Then it was Izumi's turn to blush as she saw them in their princes' costumes.
"All right everyone break it up! Everyone must be standing by now." Someone reminded them.
With few claps and reminder from someone in their class, they all went back on focusing to their own ways. Even for the three boys who had their senses back again. Migaya just stood up in a cool and a leader-a-like pose and she still has the smile, while panics for her students.
"Okay everyone this is our shot to show those audiences how hard we work on this play. And I want you all to show your very best shot." Migaya told them in passion.
They all cheered excitedly to their teacher's great speech of showing passion and how important of their play. Except Takuya, Kouji, Kouichi and Izumi who are staring at their classmates looking sickly at them with a bad and scary aura that was showing up behind them.
"For somehow I feel the negative aura in her." Izumi whispers.
"Something's telling me that I should not listen to her 'so-called speech'." Kouichi mutters.
"…"
"Alright let's get the show on!" exclaimed Migaya
In the auditorium room where the audiences are seating themselves, everyone are talking too excitedly about the play they were thrilled to watch that was play of the representative section of each level. Some of them were all talking about 'The Moonflower Legend' that was play on class 1-A. it was really popular for a story to become a play in a School Cultural Festival.
"Class 1-A is starting to play 'The Moonflower Legend' a set from a medieval times in old England." The voice announced.
The play is starting now, everyone are in their seats and all their eyes are gluing on the stage. The lights had already turned off and the stage curtains are starting to arise up.
"Long ago in a beautiful castle that has an enormous garden, there lived a beautiful princess named Princess Luna."
Princess Luna aka Izumi was sitting in a beautiful garden while she was reading a small and old book that was resting on both of her palms. She looks up above looking happily.
"My it's such a beautiful morning." She commented.
"PRINCESS LUNA!"
"What is it now father?" she said with an irritated tone, "Can't you see I'm enjoying this view very much?"
"sighs Aren't you going to attend the Prince's arrival? Prince Astral?" the King said to her.
"Prince Astral? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" she cried.
The king was about to say another word to Princess Luna's question but she had already speed up fast on her running. The light suddenly turned off then came out once again as the background changed into the castle's inside. A young man was standing in he hall with his back on. Princess Luna appeared in the room staring at he lad's back looking excitedly.
"Prince Astral is that you?" she asked the lad.
"Princess Luna? My you're grown quite well than the last time I saw you." Said Prince Astral.
Prince Astral aka Takuya turned around to show his appearance for the audiences' curiosity on the lad. Then there was a loud squeals of girls seeing Takuya's role, of course it really hurts their ears much but Takuya continue his line.
"I've missed you a million times, Princess Luna." Astral told her.
"I also missed you too, Prince Astral." Said Luna, "Were you lonely?"
"Heck no, my dear friend. I always looked at the full moon every night. They remind me of your beauty." Said the prince. "What about you?"
"Me? I always looked at the bird that you gave me as a gift." She answered sincerely.
Prince Astral stared at her surprisingly at her words then he suddenly blushed so madly. He wasn't only blushing at Princess Luna's words, but it was her sweet and loving appearance that he had seen.
"Umm… Princess Luna, I… umm…" he said.
"Greetings Princess Luna and Astral." Said the another male's voice.
Astral and Luna turned their heads together and saw another figure was standing coolly more in a real prince manner than Astral. Seeing the familiar figure made angry for Astral, as he knew the person very well. While Luna looks too happy to see another person arrives in the hall room.
"Prince Kenn! You didn't tell me you're coming to visit here, too." said Luna.
"I have my ways to surprise everyone." Answered the prince called Kenn.
"I see… so where's your cousin?" she asked him again.
"I'm here Princess Luna." Another male voice answered.
"PRINCE JOHN!" she said too excitedly.
Another figure came out behind Prince Kenn aka Kouji with servants that were lagging behind the lad. It was another prince that made Luna looks so happy to see another of her friends have arrived. It was Prince John aka Kouichi who appear in the scene.
"My it looks like things are getting too interesting for our reunion." Said John.
While the play goes on, the students and guests in the audience seats started to cheer loudly like they're screaming excitedly to see the super star on the stage one of the audience, the mysterious kid was also there watching at the play. His eyes were gluing at Takuya with a very serious and concerned look that was on his face. He could also hear the comments of the other audiences around him but he didn't care.
"Niisama…" he whispered.
The play continue to play on, the audience felt many sorrows and love to the play, it was like they're watching the play in a reality life that the four(Izumi, Takuya, Kouji, and Kouichi) did on the stage. In the stage, Astral was holding the almost dying Princess Luna while Kenn, John, the King and the Queen were kneeling around them. Astral was in tears so as Kenn and John.
"Please don't cry for me Prince Astral, Kenn, and John. I would cry too if I… sniff… oh dear it looks like I'm also crying." Said Luna.
"Why Princess Luna? Why does it have to be that way to you?" Astral asked.
"It is because it was fate for me to die. There was once a magician told me that I will die under the moon at some certain age. It was curse, Prince Astral." Luna answered, "Also a curse cannot be cure."
"No… there must be another way to remove that curse!" John shouted.
"Unfortunately… I'm losing my consciousness." The princess announced softly.
"NO YOU CAN'T DIE YET NOW, PRINCESS LUNA!" Kenn shouted.
The almost dying princess gave out one last smile to her three best friend princes then she looked at the King and the Queen. She closed her eyes slowly and then she never wakes up. Astral and Kenn stared at Luna very shocked as they saw Luna's hand fell off automatically. John shuts both of his eyes with tears continue to pour out. Smoke started to come out on the stage ground. It takes a while for the smoke then it finally disappeared. The body of Princess Luna was replaced of a beautiful white flower that was shaped like a trumpet. Astral, Kenn, and John looked at the flower so as the King and the Queen.
"This flower… so beautiful." John commented. "Under the full moon."
"It reminds me of Princess Luna." Said Kenn.
"Princess Luna admires the flower and this moon very much." Said the King.
"They really remind me of her beauty and her kindness." Added the Queen.
"Then we shall call this flower 'Moonflower'. Because this flower has the same beauty of Princess Luna and Luna is another word for 'moon'. We must write out story about her memories. And with this flower the next generation will remember our story and her beauty." Astral recommended.
Astral or Takuya took a chance looking at the audiences as the stage curtains were about to closes down knowing the play has finally ended. He gasped once again as he saw the mysterious kid at the audience seat once more. Before he may about to say out after the stage curtain closes down completely, Izumi suddenly appeared with an excited expression.
"That was great, Takuya-kun." Izumi complimented him, "That one was more realistic than our practice."
"Well he did his best to make it real." Kouji answered.
"Ummm… yeah." He agreed.
Everyone on class 1-A surrounded to the four main characters telling how fantastic and marvelous of their acting that they did on the stage. Takuya was talking mostly to the girls yet he could not help himself recalling on the kid that he saw.
"Was that really him? Why is he here?" he wondered.
