Chapter 2

Karin came up on stage 2 more times to introduce a group and their dance. She performed in other dance but less complicated. But when she came out a man followed her. "Hello again man you're guys are gonna get tired of me by the end of this." She joked making everyone laugh. "She's so open up there. She acts like she's only talk a small group instead of a huge crowd. I would be so nervous." Mahiru said. "Some people can just take crowds." Nozomu said as Karin partner walked up and introduced himself as Akoshi. A slow soft music began to play.

They danced together twirling and intertwining with each other. "It's so pretty! I've never seen anything like that before." Akira said wagging his tails. They dance was short compared to the previous performance lasting only 3 minutes. Karin partially ripped herself from Akoshi's arm when it was over. They had been just inched from each other's faces. "It looked very romantic." Nozomu said smiling.

Misoka glared at Akoshi making mental notes. Karin approached the mike again. "Now we'll have a 20 minute intermission." Karin said smiling exiting the stage. "She hasn't changed much." Misoka thought chuckling as she almost tripped down the stairs. "That was great." Uryu said smiling as Karin sat next to her. Uryu had been in a earlier performances. "Thanks but I wish Rakia hadn't broke his ankle yesterday.

I really didn't want to dance with Akoshi." Karin said filling her plate with food. "That's a lot of food. "Uryu said in her meek and soft voice. She was very thin compared to Karin and about as tall as Misoka. Karin's grumbled answered her as Karin guzzled down a cup of water. "I'm starving. I skipped lunch." Karin said as she began to scoff down her food ignoring the evil presence behind her.

"What did you say? "Chimoko growled flames surrounding her. "C-chimoko!?" Uryu exclaimed jumping nearly a foot in the air. Karin began to laugh. "You scare soo easily. U-chan. I said I skipped lunch. 'Karin said turning around to face Chimoko. Chimoko stood out in a crowd literally. She was very tall with bright red hair and eyes. She was a phoenix a rare thing on the moon. Her personality was... well overpowering to say the least.

"You're always yelling at us for skipping meals. Follow own your advice." Chimoko preached as Karin went back to eating tuning her out. "I didn't want to barf when up there. It's nerve racking sometimes." Karin said with a mouthful of food.

"Hey guys I heard some people say you can go up and talk to the heroes. Can we go?" Uryu pleaded. "Of course. Let's go." Karin said getting up and walking towards the table. Chimoko groaned following her muttering 'There she goes again." Karin let Uryu lead them as they approached the Emperess but Uryu ducked behind Chimoko once they got close. They bowed to her. "Good evening your majesty." They said in unison.

"Ahh wonderful performances today girls. I really enjoyed them." The emperess said with a smile. Uryu blushed up to her small black wolf ears. "T-Thank you. "She muttered. "Glad to be of service." Karin said bowing again. "Have you met the heroes yet?" The Emperess asked motioning to her right. "No ma'am that's why we came. "Chimoko said. They stepped to the right to allow others up and shook hands with Oboro.

"Wonderful, I haven't seen a performance like that in years." Oboro said. 'You were great! Fantastic!" Akira cheered wagging his tails and Mahiru nodded in agreement. "It was quite thrilling." Nozomu said taking Uryu's hand and kissing it. "Thank you. Later on we're having open stager feel free to come up and dance or sing." Karin said smiling at Akira's funny face. "Hello Princess it's a pleasure to meet you." Karin said bowing to her. Uryu quickly copied her. "O-Oh no please don't bow." Mahiru said shaking her hands.

"Alright" Karin said taking her hand and shaking it. "This is how Earthing say hi right?" Karin asked. Mahiru nodded shaking her hand. Then Karin turned to Mahiru's right where Misoka sat. "How was your journey to earth?" She asked smiling at him. He stared at her silently. Karin began to blushed stepping away. "Karin?" Chimoko and Uryu asked. Misoka began to raise leaning over the table like he was going to touch her face. "Mhhh excuse me I have to go." She said. She raced down the stairs and ran towards the stage. "Excuse her she ate too much she must have gotten sick." Chimoko said bowing then followed Karin with Uryu hot on her feet.

They found Karin in the bathroom her head pressed against the cool tile breathing deep her face still bright red. "Was them him?" Chimoko said placing her hand on Karin's shoulder. Kari nodded as her breathing returned to normal. "Him who?" Uryu asked looking between the 2. "Yeah that's him." Karin said. "Then why did you run from him?" Chimoko asked."Him who!" Uryu exclaimed.

Karin held up a white crystal hang around her neck with 2 crescent moon carved into it. The monos formed a heart with a shooting star though the middle. "He's my finace." She said. Girls who were in a arranged marriage usually wore a form of craved jewelry expressing they state of 'conferment. "Ohhh well Mr. Misoka is a very nice man." Uryu said hugging Karin who had moved away from the wall.

"No it's not that. I love Misoka. We grew up together but I'm terrified he'll leave me because I'm taller than him. I haven't seen since he left for earth 2 years ago. From what I hear he's completely different from when he left." Karin said resting her arms around Uryu's shoulder. Uryu could feel Karin shaking. "Well you'll have to face him sooner or later." Chimoko said making her look at her. "And if does leave you then it's his lost. You have plenty guys who'll jump to be your man. "Chimoko said squeezing her hand. Karin nodded recovering her front.

Everyone stared at Misoka with a questioning glance. 'I better go she if she's alright." Misoka said getting up. He began walking down the stairs. "Misoka!" Nozomu called following him. "What's going on?" Nozomu asked catching up with him. "Do you think I know?" Misoka asked not looking at him. "There's more to this than there appearance right? There's always something under the surface with you." Nozomu said.

"Maybe yes, maybe no. Now excuse me." Misoka said. He went searching but could find them. Then he heard her voice over the loud speaker. He turned towards the stage where she stood with Chimoko. "Now Ms. Chimoko will sing and traditional love ballot. We have removed a few tables for a dance floor. Please dance if you wish." Karin said for anyone else the sadness would have be undetectable but to Misoka every word was soaked in tears.

Well that's all for now. Please review. I hope you enjoyed it. I'll get chapter 3 ASAP. Thank you for reading bows See you next time.
