Okie dokie, here's the update, finally. And….IM A FRESHMAN IN HIGHSCHOOL!!! OMFG!!!

And to describe what Takimu looks lie: He has spiky black hair with a few piercings in his ear. He wears a white, sleeveless shirt with a black skull on it. And he has black belted pants with black boots. He has gloves with he fingers cut off . He has a boomerang too.

Disclaimer: I do not own crescent moon.

It took a total of 15 hours just to get the moonshine cleaned up. Or, at least it looked like what it did the first time the lunar race stepped foot in it. Mostly bare with a few stray chairs that hadn't been broken and the bar which miraculously made it past Blackwall.

Takimu was setting up one of the sofas again, having a lot of trouble since his arm was broken. Finally when people noticed he was putting his arm in further peril they made him sit while they cleaned up the rest.

While everyone was cleaning upstairs, Kori sat down next to Takimu.

He raised an eyebrow questionably and she smiled at him.

"I-I just wanted to s-say thank you…" Kori started.

"For what?"

"Y-you saved us from Blackwall….I'm not sure how bad things would have been if y-you hadn't come."

Takimu stared into space and blushed a little, "Oh…your welcome…."

Kori pulled her knees up to her chest, "U-um…"

"yes?" Takimu asked

"Um… a-about your arm…I can heal it." She said blushing.

Takimu blushed but shook is head, "I-its okay, you don't have too….I mean…" He looked around to see if anyone is there.

"I'll end up telling the others later but….I know what they did to you in that place….what your father did to you."

Kori's eyes widened, Takimu frowned at her sadly, "I'm not like them miss Itikashi, I don't want to make you heal for my own benefit."

Kori stared and blushed, it was the first time anyone who was wounded refused her help for her own good. She smiled and gently took his arm.

Takimu looked startled and raised an eyebrow. Kori smiled, "I-I'm not doing this because I feel like I have to…I-m doing this because I want to."

Takimu thought about it then relaxed his arm…not that he could feel it. Kori closed her eyes and thought about something sad. After a few seconds tears started to leak from her eyes. They dripped off of her face onto Takimu's bare arm. Steam lifted off of the arm and Takimu felt a little surprised when the bone inside started to bubble.

He reflex fully started to pull his arm away but Kori tightened her grip gently. She looked up at him, eyes still a little teary.

"It wont hurt, I promise."

Takimu nodded and relax again. After about five minutes the bone in Takimu's arm started to turn more solid until finally the bone was mended.

Takimu lifted his arm and bent it around. It was perfect.

"Thanks, you've really helped miss Itikashi." Takimu said, smiling gratefully.

Kori blushed and stared at her feet bashfully.

"Y-your welcome."

Someone cleared their throat at the top of the stairs. Both kids turned to see Nozomu and the other boys smirking down at them, Mahiru was off somewhere, probably trying to find bandages for Takimu.

"I hope I'm not interrupting something." Nozomu questioned. Akira grinned from behind him, Misoka was once again smirking.

"N-no! Why would you be…?" Takimu burst , both kids looked flustered.

The boys smiled knowingly and Mahiru came down after them carrying bandages.

"Oh…your arms better…" she said a little confused, then saw Kori's slightly red eyes ad figured it out.

"Oh."

"You used your tears huh kori?" Misoka questioned raising an eyebrow.

Kori blushed and nodded. She fidgeted uncomfortably, she didn't like the grin Nozomu had on at the moment.

"Anyway, now is the time for explaining, Takimu for starters, where on earth did you come from?" Misoka asked.

Takimu sighed and sat down, "Alright, I guess I owe it to you. First of all where I came from…"

He paused and looked up at them, "I came from a secret rebellion base, hidden somewhere near the headquarters of the phoenix harvesting company." He started.

"You're a member of the rebellion?" Mahiru asked.

Takimu shook his head, "I'm too young to be an actual member, my brother is so I get to join them from time to time. That doesn't mean I'm all for the cause though."

"So why were you here? Why didn't the others come?" Misoka asked raising an eyebrow.

"They all had to other parts of this mission were in, which is classified, and it would have had dire consequences if they had left one spot open."

"Ah." Nozomu agreed.

"Since my training is almost complete, they let me come and warn you about Blackwall, My brother, Seishiru, should be getting back to me soon."

"How do you guys get in and out of the head quarters? I mean why would they just let a bunch of rebels in?"

Takimu grinned, "Didn't say we went in as rebels."

"Disguises?" Akira asked, his tail waging in excitement

"Yup, my brother, for instance, was disguised as miss Itikashi's guards a couple of months ago."

Kori looked surprised, when she had been captured before she ran away the last time, she had been locked up in a cell in the headquarters. There had been a guard that would be a little hesitant to bring her to her father. Only problem was her memory of that time was foggy, she remembered sometimes late at night, if she woke up, her groggy eyes could make out the outline of a boy…watching her and smiling kindly. Then sirens went off one night.

T-the headquarters was attacked that night…and the guard who was hesitant…he came with the boy…and the boy…

Kori gasped and stared at Takimu, "y-you're the boy who freed me!" she exclaimed, he smiled and nodded.

"He what now?" Mitsuru asked.

"A-a few months ago, the h-head quarters was attacked by an unknown source, I guess it was the rebellion then, a-and during the confusion a boy who visited my cell late at night sometimes unlocked it. I-I remember only a few words e said."

She paused to think.

"H-he said "Follow the guard beside me, he'll bring you to safety away from this place!" A-and he did."

She smiled, "He brought me to the airport, and b-boarded me on one of their planes, taking me to America."

"New Hampshire was the safest place we could think of, but it turns out Her father was determined not to let her go." Takimu added bitterly.

"So you too knew each other…without knowing each other?" Mahiru asked confused. Akira clutched his head.

"Agggh! I'm confused!"

Takimu chuckled, "Well yes, I guess that's a way to explain it. My brother would sometimes bring me to the headquarters while everyone not in the rebellion was gone so I could see the phoenix girl."

He looked at her sympathetically, "All I wanted to do each time I saw you was get you out of there. Human or not…what they i to you."

He frowned at the carpet. Then forced a smile.

"well, that's why I turned up."

Everyone nodded.

"Takimu kun, we have a room set up (fortunately blackwall missed the upstairs) for you. I'm guessing you'll wan to use."

Takimu stood up and bowed, "Thank you, it would be greatly appreciated."

With that everyone pretty much went to bed, almost all fell asleep but Takimu laid on the bed staring up at the ceiling.

Takimu's POV

Come to think of it…freeing miss Itikashi wasn't the only thing I thought of when I saw her.

I closed my eyes and smiled, chuckling,

I thought she was one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen.

I sat there still chuckling, then frowned and slapped my forehead.

Mission! Mission! This is about the mission! Not my stupid crush on kori.

I stared out the window sadly.

This is strictly to protect Miss Itikashi…nothing else.

Sorry if the last part was a little confusing, but I'm really tired right now. See ya!
