Chapter 3
Misoka was not able to get to Karin for the rest of the night. After the dance they was a pale and he had to sit back down in his seat. By the time he got to the stage and asked for Karin she had already left for home. 'I guess I'll have to go to her house tomorrow. Hopefully she hasn't moved in 2 years.' Misoka thought. He rose early not able to sleep for his mind was restless. He sat up staring out the window in a lavish room that he was sharing with Nozomu.
He sighed as he put his glasses on. "This would be easier if I could transform." He muttered he dressed. He put on one of his nicest button up shirts and tan slacks. "Where are you going so early?" Nozomu yawned as he rolled out of bed. "I'm going to look up some old friends." Misoka said taking the last bite of his apple. 'Misoka has friends?' Nozomu wondered as he picked up an orange from the fruit basket left as a present.
"You never said you had friends before." Nozomu said. "Everyone has friends. I just had a fewer than most." Misoka said as he headed out the door. He soon reached a small blue house. He checked the address. "Yup this is it." Misoka thought as he knocked on the door. The door was answered by a middle aged man with graying hair.
"Sir Misoka it's lovely to see. I;m sorry I couldn't greet you last night." The man said letting Misoka into the little living room. 'Barely changed at all.' Misoka thought as his eyes scanned the room. The furniture was still the same a few more painting were on the newly painted walls.
"It's alright Mr. Murasaki. Is Karin here? I wish to speak with her." Misoka stated turning back to Mr. Murasaki. "Oh no Sir Misoka she spent the night at her friend Chimoko's. But at noon she'll be at the stage to go over tonight's performances." Mr. Murasaki said.. (The festival lasts a whole week and every night there's different performances.)
Misoka decided to walk around until noon. Visit his old hang outs like a little trip down memory lane. This was fine by him this would allow him to think over what he would say to Karin. Karin meanwhile was at Chimoko. They were going to discuss the plans for tonight. But Chimoko was a little distracted by her boyfriend Tesura.
"(Sigh) She becomes such a bird brain when he's around." She muttered sitting on the stage. She laid down and began to stare up at the clouds. She slowly drifted off to sleep. She could feel a familiar prescient as she did so. Misoka was walking in courtyard heading back to thee room to tell everyone he would be out for the day. When he saw Karin laying on the stage.
"Did she come to practice and fall and hurt herself?' He thought as he ran towards the stage. For someone so small he read quite fast. As he got closer he realized she was just asleep. "How many times did I tell not to sleep in the middle of nowhere? She never learns. "He said shaking his head sighing.
He got up on stage and stood over her examining her. 'She has gotten so beautiful and tall.' Misoka thought sitting down beside her. She rolled on to her side mumbling something about Uryu. Her white crystal clanged as it hit the stage. He stared at it smiling. 'Does she ever take that off?" He questioned.
Last night when she was dancing the lights would catch it cause a small flash of light giving her performance even more dazzling. He reached for lightly pulling on the chain. Her eyes quickly flashed opened and sat up. Misoka sat there stunned surprised that such a small touch could awake her.
"Chimoko I said no touch!" She growled slapping the air and laying back down. Misoka began to chuckle trying to to burst int a full laugh. "I forget she talks in her sleep." Misoka said once his giggles had subsided. "I guess she doesn't like anyone touching my necklace." He thought gently figuring the edge of it trying not to disturb her again.
Misoka's mind began to race again. Filling with memories and things that might happen. "No Misoka, you can't have her. Ours mom set this up. She too good. Who Misoka sat there watching over her for an hour. "Oi! Misoka there you are!" Nozomu shouted. Misoka headed snapped up to see Nozomu jogging up to the stage.
"Shh,you'll wake her up. "He whispered getting up. "You're watching her sleep?" Nozomu asked a little freaked out. (As I;m sure the readers are. Sorry) "No!" He snapped blushing. " I'm protecting her from you. I'm making sure nothing happens to her. She's too trusting what if there was someone was to come up and kidnap her." Misoka said hopping down from the stage. 'Geez I hope she didn't do that in America.' Misoka thought. "Ohh , so she is an old friend?" Nozomu asked getting up on the stage. "He circled around her checking her out.
"Maybe don't think about it Nozomu she's taken." Misoka said partially hissing. "Ohh really? you in danger of sounding attracted Misoka." Nozomu smirked as Misoka blushed. Misoka was about to retorted his answer when they heard footsteps and laughter."Come one let's go." Misoka said grabbing Nozomu's elbow and dragging him into a near by elbow.
A few girls and a couple of boys one on crutches an ankle in a cast. "Hey! Sleepy head" A girl with short brown hair said shaking Karin. "Hn? Lirin?" Karin mumbled rubbing an eye sitting up. She stood up yawning and strengthening. "You fell asleep on the stage again." Uryu said smiling. "Oh yeah sorry. I was just to tired Chimoko kept be up most of the night." Karin said as they others began to sit up a table. Lirin laid 2 cheese pizzas on the table while Akoshi put a 12 pack of vanilla soda beside the pizza.
He tossed a 2 cans to Uryu who sat beside Karin. "You feeling better?" Uryu whispered as Karin gulped down the soda. "What Karin-chan isn't feeling well?" Rakia asked hopping over to them. "Ohh no I was just really nervous yesterday when we went and met the heroes and I almost got sick." Karin lied walking over to the pizza.
The group hung for awhile as everyone else showed up bringing more food and drinks. Chimoko and Tesura even showed up. Once the party was in full swing music floating out of the speakers as couples danced and people began top act goofy on weird songs. "Hey Karin." Akoshi said walking up. She was sitting on the edge of the stage spacing out. Her mind debating over the Misoka 'problem'.
"Yeah?" She asked looking up at him as he plopped down beside her. "You seem a little out of it." He said handing a new can of root beer. "Just thinking." She muttered opening the can. "If it's about last night. yes those were sparks you were seeing yesterday. Look I know you like me and I like you. So quit playing hard to get. "He said placing his hand on her tight. "If you behave you might get a very big surprise at the end of the week." He whispered sliding his hand up.
SLAP!
The sound filled the air easily overpowering the speakers. Karin jumped up pouring her soda all over him. "What the hell?" Nozomu muttered. "Who the hell do you think you are?! Better yet who do you think I am!?" Karin exclaimed standing in front of him off the stage. She was glaring up at him. "K-Karin?!" The other grasped. "You bitch!" Akoshi growled standing up.
"You should be honored I chose you." "Honored! HAH! Disgusted more like it! I have a strong, smart, and brave finace why in the 7 hells would I want you when I can have?" Karin snapped holding up her necklace. "I'm going for a walk!" Karin shouted up to the others then turned and stormed off. "Wait to go idiot!" Lirin exclaimed hitting him upside the head. "Karin is the captain of this team.
If she quits tonight's performance is gonna be non exsetant. Go apologize!" "No let her cool off for awhile." Chimoko said walking up. "Uhhh guys what about tonight's dance. No one else knows the Moonlight Waltz but me and Akoshi." Rakia said hopping over.
"Damn it!" Chimoko exclaimed throwing up her arms. 'Moonlight Waltz? She still dances that?' Misoka thought as him and Nozomu snuck off. "Where did she go?" Nozomu asked looking around once they were a good distance away from the stage. "Hmmmm follow me." Misoka said heading north.
They came to a small park with a few swings and jungle gym and some picnic tables. Karin sat in one the swings staring down at the ground. She heard they foot steps as the entered the wood chip circle. "Misoka?" Karin whispered standing up. It was quite a weird sight for Nozomu a girl just a hair shorter than Mahuri hugging Misoka, who just came to her shoulders.
"I heard what you said." Misoka muttered into her shirt. She pulled away looking down at him confused. "About your finace." He said a smile creepy across his face. She began to blush. "O-Oh that. Well I meant it." She said. "Why have you been avoiding me?" He asked as her gaze fell upon Nozomu. "Could we talk privately." She asked looking back to Misoka. "Ohh sorry sure. See you later." Nozomu said walking off.
'Dang! I wanted to see where that was going. I'll have to bug him later.' Nomozu thought. Karin walked over to the picnic table and sat on it patting beside her. "I heard you came back to the moon before. Well one of my friends saw and said you were completely different. I was afraid it was true and that you would leave me." Karin said not looking at him but up at the sky. "What are you crazy?! Why would I do that?" Misoka exclaimed making Karin look at him.
Misoka was always so calm and reserved he hardly ever showed his emotions. "I'll be truthful I came here to cut off the engagement." Misoka said. "WHAT?! You can't do that! I can't have anyone else! What did I do? Is it because I didn't follow you to earth?" Karin exclaimed. "Let me finish! It was nothing you did. It was me.
This form you see. This is me now. I can't transform anymore." Misoka said looking down in ashamed. (I can't remember if he gets that ability back. I know he can't for awhile.) "So? I like you for you your brain not your looks." Karin said hugging him. He didn't reply he just hugged her back. They stood there for a several long minutes.
(Please stay tuned for chapter 4. I'll get it out ASAP! What will happen? Will these 2 loves birds stay together or will destiny drive them apart.)
