I do not own Crescent Moon

The Big, The Bad, Mahiru

Ch.6

(Akira)

"K-Keiko…what are you doing here?"

Keiko quickly looked away and used her sleeve to brush away her tears but they kept on coming. She couldn't help it, especially since the person she thought she would never see again was standing right there.

Akira wasn't really sure what to do, so he sat down beside her and put his arm around her shoulder and whispered in her ear that everything was going to be ok continuously while she in turn buried her face in his neck and cried harder than before. After a while her cries became mere muffles and then finally subsided. Akira slowly pulled away from her and looked into her eyes and asked her what happened. The words came flowing out like as if he had hypnotized her.

"I-I had left for a bit after the incident with you and your friends b-because my powers were used to much. I came back a day earlier than expected of Hokuto and Mutsura. When I got into the house it was really quite. I called out their names and no one answered. I then heard some noises coming from Hokuto's bedroom. So I went to his bedroom door which was opened and, and…" Keiko was having trouble finishing her sentence but Akira was patient and waited for her to continue.

"and t-they w-were f-fucking each other." She finished while new tears were falling from her eyes. Akira put his arm around her shoulder again and rubbed it lightly.

"It's not that I care or anything, i-it's the fact that he was deceiving me. The reason why he was marrying me was to keep his secrete of him being gay from everyone and keep the Dawn Venus generation from subsiding."

"But I thought you loved him."

"I do but just as a brother now. I-I fell in love with someone else. That's why I'm here. I let him slip through my fingers all because I thought that Hokuto loved me. That's what made me blind, it made me think I was still in love with him but I really wasn't."

All this talk about love was making Akira feel uneasy because he had feelings for her. It was killing him trying to suppress them. Everyone thinks Akira is still a boy but he was actually a man now. He only pretended to be clueless because it made everyone happy and smile. When it was time to be serious he would be, which he was at the moment.

"Well I hope you find him" Akira was trying to get up to go back to searching for Mahiru but Keiko kept her grip on his shirt.

"But Akira…"

(Misoka)

Misoka was now resting on a wall of a fast food restaurant out of breath because a couple of little kids thought he was a leprechaun and said if they caught him they would get his pot of gold.

'Princess where are you?' Misoka thought but his thoughts were soon interrupted.

"Hey! There he is! Let's get him!" say a boy pointing at Misoka. Misoka got up from the wall and started running. The now group of kids chased after him screaming at the top of their lungs "Come back here leprechaun! Give us your pot of gold!"

'Aug! The things I do for the Moon palace and the princess.'

R&R. Sorry it has been awhile since I updated but I was way behind on my other story, so I had to work on that instead which by the way I have caught up in. But now my teachers are piling homework on us like there is no tomorrow. I'm glad I finally got this chapter out though. Hopefully you enjoyed and I'll update when I can.
