I do not own Crescent Moon

The Big, The Bad, Mahiru

Ch.8

(Akira & Keiko)

"Akira, y-you're the one I fell in love with."

"H-Huh!"

Before Akira could say something else, it started to rain. He quickly got up pulling Keiko up along with him. He grabbed her hand and started running onto the streets in search of a dry place. They ran for about five minutes and still haven't found a place open to stay until the rain let out. Everything was closed since it was about midnight.

Akira spotted a building that had a little roof for them to stand under to rest for awhile. They stood in silence for about two minutes before Keiko spoke.

"I-It's ok if you don't feel the same way. I-I understand, you know since because I'm…well was apart of the Dawn Venus."

Akira looked up at Keiko, she looked like she was about to cry. Akira slowly walked up to Keiko and wrapped his arms around her shivering body. He held her tight for awhile before loosening his grip. He then looked straight into her eyes, which sent shivers down her body. With his arms still wrapped around her he spoke.

"No, I feel the same way…well what I mean to say is, I love you, Dawn Venus or not."

He slowly lowered his head giving her a soft but sweet kiss.

"Come on lets go get us something to warm us up." Akira said as he grabbed Keiko's hand and darted off into the rain in search of an open restaurant.

(Mitsuru & Mahiru)

"Mahiru…I-I…"

Mitsuru still had his forehead against Mahiru's and his arms wrapped around her. He was trying his best to get the words out and tell her once and for all how he felt, but it was harder than he thought it would be. To him, I love you, is three simple words to say but whenever he tried to say it, the words seemed to get caught in his throat. Those three words though, scared him right now. Those three words ridded on everything. Him being rejected or him being loved back. If he could, right now, he would just take her home and forget this ever happen. But he couldn't because he was at a risk of her leaving. He was pretty much in a lose or maybe win situation that he couldn't just ignore.

Mahiru waited patiently for Mitsuru to finish what he was trying to say. It seemed really important since he was stuttering so much. He usually gets straight to the point. For some reason though, Mahiru's stomach was full of butterflies. The way he was stuttering was giving her the idea of what he was trying to say. That idea was something that she has been wanting him to say for awhile now. But she didn't want to get too excited about it just in case he was not trying to say that. And if it wasn't, she would just tell him how she felt and say that it was ok that he couldn't return her feelings and just go live back with her aunt. It would hurt her really deeply but at least she wouldn't regret not saying it later on in life. Saying it would be like lifting a huge weight off of her shoulders.

"I-I…"

"Yes, Mitsuru"

When Mahiru spoke it seemed to calm him down a bit and enabled him to say the words that were caught in his throat.

"Mahiru…I-I l-love you a-and have for the longest time."

A rush of warmth filled Mahiru. She didn't know that him saying those words would make her feel so happy. She smiled the most beautiful smile that Mitsuru had ever seen.

"Oh Mitsuru, I love you too!" She said as she glomped him.

Mitsuru was without a doubt the most happiest he has ever been in his entire life.

After awhile Mitsuru pulled away a little bit and did something he has been wanting to do for awhile now. He closed the distance between his and Mahiru's lips giving her a long sweet kiss.

"Come on lets get out of this rain before we catch a cold." Mitsuru said as he slowly got up. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up; they then darted off into the rainy streets.

(Misoka & Nozomu)

"Damn! When is this rain going to stop?"

"It'll probably clear up soon Nozomu."

"Yeah I guess but I'm kinda getting worried. We haven't heard from either Akira or Mitsuru. It has been over an hour since we've split up."

Nozomu and Misoka stayed in silence for a couple of minutes until Nozomu spotted two familiar faces walking through the front door of the fast food restaurant. Akira and Keiko walked in with their hands intertwine.

"AKIRA!" Nozomu yelled.

Akira turned around and faced Nozomu's direction.

"Nozomu! Misoka!"

Akira ran up to them with grin plastered across his face.

"Why are you guys here?"

"To get out of the rain of course."

"Um so what's with you and her being together and all that?" Nozomu said seeing Keiko by Akira's side with their hands intertwine.

"Oh unh….me and Keiko are going out now."

Misoka and Nozomu were at lost for words.

"W-Well that's good…" Nozomu spoke up.

"Yes very good." Misoka added.

"Thanks you guys…um have you seen or heard from Mitsuru or Mahiru."

"Nope. Nothing."

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Keiko asked.

"Well Mahiru kinda ran away and we've been looking for her and stuff."

"Why'd she runaway?"

"She messed up on one of our mission to claim the tear drop of the moon and these two and Mitsuru kinda gave her a hard time about it."

"Oh. Well that was kinda stupid of you guys. Mahiru's very sensitive." Keiko said gaining her personality back.

"We know, we know. We were just upset." Nozomu said with a sign.

"That's no excuse.'

"Alright, Alright, we are a bunch of no good dumbasses ok."

Keiko looked satisfy with that answer.

"After the rain stops we could go back to searching for her."

Misoka and Nozomu scouted down in their booths they were sitting in for Akira and Keiko to be able to sit. Keiko sat next to Misoka and Akira sat on the other side next to Nozomu.

"Want some fries?" Nozomu asked as he held out the box of fries out to Keiko.

"No it's ok you eat them. I'm going to order a meal. I haven't eaten since this morning."

"Oh well in that case. Hey waitress can you get us four orders of the number five. Do you like yours all dressed?"

"Yes."

"That's good because if you make a special order they usually end up messing it

up."

"I hope Mitsuru and Miharu found a place to stay to get out of the rain." Akira said looking out the window.

"Don't worry Akira we did."

Mahiru and Mitsuru stood soaking wet in front of their table hands intertwine.

"Mahiru! Mitsuru!" Akira yelled happily.

He jump up and glomped them.

"Ok Akira. Let go of them before you suffocate them." Keiko said pulling Akira off of them."

"Keiko? Why are you here?"

"Me and Keiko are a couple now."

"Awww! That so great! Me and Mitsuru are a couple now too!."

Everybody went dead silent until Akira finally spoke.

"I knew you liked her you old rascal."

"Yeah right."

"Well it was kind of obvious." Misoka said.

"How come I didn't know?" Nozomu asked.

"Because your always to busy flirting with girls." Misoka answered him.

"True"

Everyone scouted down for Mahiru and Mitsuru to sit. Mahiru sat next to Keiko and Mitsuru sat next to Akira.

"Oh you guys hungry?" Nozomu asked.

"Yeah."

"Hey waitress can we get another two orders of the number five. Thanks."

"So I guess you and me are the only two bachelors huh Misoka."

"I believe you are mistaken. I have a girlfriend up at the moon palace."

"No way! You mean I'm the only bachelor. Man I gotta get myself a girlfriend."

Everyone started to laugh.

The night worn on with everyone eating, talking, and having fun together.
