-1Hi its me again. I'm going to continue my story even if I just finished the crescent moon series…..WAHHHHHH I don't want it to be oveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer! Seriously guys do you know if she's doing a sequel because the end was so happy but I felt like crying since it was over so quickly! Anyway please read and review.

PS: I should probably tell you what Kori chan looks like since I really wont have a chance to explain it in the story. Kori has really long auburn hair (since she's phoenix) and amber eyes.(not that you can see them since her bangs cover most of her face...Mahiru will probably end up doing something about that later.) Her hair goes to about her mid back and its always tied up into a braid. She usually wears black pants with a black turtle neck under a black jacket. She also has black gloves too (she's very plain in other words).

Disclaimer: I do not own crescent moon (if I did there'd be a sequel grumblegrumble)

Normal POV

Mitsuru barged in through the door carrying the limp girl with him. The lunar race members turned towards the door and Mahiru gasped when she saw the unconscious girl (the unconscious girl bleeding from several cuts mind you).

"What the hell happened Mitsuru! And who is that girl!" Nozomu shouted at Mitsuru.

"How the hell should I know she wouldn't tell me anything! She refuses to speak for some reason and just so you know she's bleeding all over me and the carpet!"

Nozomu looked a little flustered now seeing the bloody carpet and the bloody girl.

"Err right…"

Misoka ran off to get Oboro while Akira took the girl from the annoyed Mitsuru. Mahiru followed but also tried to clean some of the blood off of Mitsuru's jacket at the same time.

Oboro and Misoka led the way to a spare bedroom upstairs as Akira set her down gently on the bed as they looked her over. The girl was covered in small but deep cuts with small splinters in some of them. She was trembling with cold as her sopping clothes stuck to her wet form. Her cheeks were beginning to turn pink with a fever.

Misoka got a thermometer and opened her mouth slightly so he could take her temperature. The girl stirred as the beeper went off on it signaling it was done. She opened her eyes but her vision was blurry she could only squint at the blurry forms in front of her.

Kori's POV

Where am I? How did I get here? Wh-why am I so cold? Suddenly my memories of the tengu boy and my fall into the river came flooding back to me. I desperately tried to clear the blurriness in my eyes when I heard worried voices come all around me. I was dizzy and I could only hear muffled talking and could barely make it out.

"How's her temp?" I heard someone ask

"not good, 104.5"

"Oh my gosh!" I heard a girl shout.

Who are these people? I thought as I tried to stumble off of the bed only to be forced back down by a very short blur next to me.

"Please your too weak to move right now, lay back down."

I most certainly was not going to. I tried as politely as I could to shake the persons hand off my shoulder so I could stand up.

"Hey kid didn't you hear him, your too hurt to move right now."

I ignored him as I concentrated on standing up. I have to get out of here, I cant bring anyone else into this I just cant its not fair to them. I have to escape as quickly as I can.

Little did I know then that I would never really escape

"Hey Misoka, I don't think she's gonna give up. Maybe it would be wise to use that sleep hypnosis you learned a while ago, y' know just until we can get her fever down?"

Hypnosis! What! I cant go to sleep now! I struggled even further when I felt someone's hand take my chin and turn it towards them, forcing me to make eye contact to whoever it was. All I saw were a pair of squinty eyes and a flash of hypnosis and I slowly felt myself get drowsy again. No No No! don't fall asleep! but it was too late and after a few more futile struggles my body went limp as I fell asleep…yet again.

Normal Pov.

After the girl finally fell asleep Misoka turned back to the group, who were looking at Mitsuru.

"Whadda you all staring at me for!" He shouted.

"Because you're the one who met the girl in the first place, did you find her like this or what?" Nozomu asked

"No, I just found her in and alley not too far from here and I sensed she wasn't human, so I tried to take her back here seeing as we have to find that damn eighth moonstone. I asked her what she was doing here but she just tapped her throat, that means she's mute right? and ran away. I chased after her and when I finally caught the little brat and started flying back here she bit me!"

The others chuckled at the thought which only got the tengu more frustrated.

"It is not funny! When she did bite me I kinda dropped her and she fell into a river."

Akira stopped laughing and look at Mitsuru "But we just had that huge storm a few days ago the rivers are still flooding and that makes the currents even more violent." (I'm not sure if this is true, but I t sounds okay to me.)

Misoka nodded "That must be why she came out of the water all beaten up, no telling what she ran into in that water."

Mahiru looked at the young girls form. It looked so thin and frail. She couldn't have been more than fourteen by her size. She looked like she hadn't eaten or slept for days. She also needed a desperate haircut seeing as her bangs covered her eyes, hiding her face from the rest of the world.

"Do you know what type of creature she is Mitsuru, I mean if she's not human…" Mahiru asked turning away from the girl

"Well if I knew that why would I bother bringing her with me?"

Oboro sighed. "I guess we'll just have to wait until she wakes up, right now we should concentrate on getting that fever down."

Everyone nodded in response.

"Can you five take care of her though, I'm sorry but me and Katsura have to go have a meeting with Shirogane about the eighth moon stone."

They nodded again as Oboro and Katsura left.

They sat in the quiet for a moment. Letting what just happened in the past hour sink in.

Mahiru was the first to speak "I wonder what caused her to be mute, I mean was she born that way?"

Misoka walked over to the girls sleeping form and pressed two fingers on her throat, where her vocal cords would be, and shook his head. "No, if she was born this way she would have very weak vocal cords, hers are average , they just haven't been used for a while." (again I don't plan on becoming a doctor so I'm not sure if this is true do NOT take my word for it.)

"I wonder what happened to her then, why would she want to stop talking?" Akira asked since he really never stops talking himself.

Everyone took a moment to ponder on that then Nozomu sighed "Well that fever isn't going to go down by itself, lets see what we can do." The rest of the lunar race (and Mahiru) nodded their heads in agreement and got up to look for anything that could bring down a fever.

Well uh that was the second chapter. I'm sorry its so short but the next one will be longer. If some of the characters seem a little ooc to you I'm sorry. Also review my story please. I like getting feedback on my story, and give me advice if you think I can improve on something because its appreciated. But no flames please.
