The Moon and The Star

"Sometimes they come together
Sometimes each one alone
Moon sad under a starless sky
Star crying in a moonless night"
Halloween early greetings!
"Shut up, I went easy on her!" Kisho yelled.
"Yeah, I bet it's because he wants another date with Kuro…" Leiko decided to tease.
"WE WERE NOT ON A DATE!" Kuro and Kisho yelled in unison.
"They were on a date!" Hayner said trying hold his laugh but couldn't take it anymore. Kisho just whacked his best friend on the head.
"You guys are so mean…" Kuro just glared at all of them.
A few weeks had soon past and it was the last day of October. Kuro had gotten close to all of her new group of friends. Everyone in the group except him; Kisho. Sure they had finally toned down on the arguments, but he was still annoying for Kuro and the same seemed to go for him. It was practically a daily routine now.

It was after school and Kuro and Olette decided to hang out in Leiko's and Joannu's room.
"I can't believe tonight's the Halloween Dance, and I still can't choose what my costume will be!" Olette sighed.
Every year Twilight High had an annual Halloween Masquerade Dance. You had to make sure you hid your identity well because at eight o'clock you were finally allowed to reveal it. It was really interesting and exciting if you wanted to find out who your friends were.
"Well, I'm going to be a fallen angel," Leiko said in sarcastic voice, she only watched the tv with a bunch of candy next to her; everyone just had one of those anime sweat drops though.
"I guess I could be a wizard, I do have a matching purple mask that covers my eyes for it," Olette decided.
"That's cool, I think I'll be an angel," Joannu smiled, "What are you going to be Kuro?"
"I don't know. I probably won't go anyways because I hate dances, they're so boring!" Naminé said with an emotionless expression. "I know!" Leiko said gaining a hit with the pillow form Joannu.
"What? Why not?" They all asked in unison.
"I just said 1) I hate dances. 2) I don't have a costume. 3) What's the point if you hate dancing?" Kuro replied.
"B-but it's like one of the biggest events of the year!" Olette said in disbelief.
"I told you even if I want to go, which I don't, I don't have a costume," Kuro simply said.
"Pfft. I doubt that, let's go closet hunting then!" Joannu pointed out, "It's too late too go to the mall anyways." She took Kuro's hand and dragged her into her dorm room with the others following behind. Even Leiko, the news where bogus.

Inside Kuro's room, Joannu, Leiko, and Olette were rummaging through her closet, while Kuro herself was just sitting on her bed giving them a questioning look. Leiko only had the bowl of candy with her while Joannu kept asking. 'This one?' 'What about this?'
"What are you guys doing, you're messing up my stuff!" Kuro exclaimed.
"Here! I knew you had to have at least one!" Joannu jumped for joy.
In her hands Joannu was holding out a beautiful black dress dress, which had a dark hue of blue. On the skirt part of the dress was sequins that looked like tiny little saphires that were sewed into small dark blue flowers at the ends. For the straps it was two on each side, the dress actually looked like you'd wear it at a fancy ball or something.
"Wow, I never knew I owned that dress. So what about it?" Kuro said sarcastically while arching an eyebrow.
"What do you mean 'what about it'? You're gonna wear it obviously!" Joannu said in a mater-a-fact kind of tone.
"You're not making me wear a dress!" Kuro protested.
"But I have the perfect mask for you! And I think being with Leiko is affecting you." Olette pouted. "Hey!" Was the only resposnse from the raven haired twin.
"C'mon Kuro, it's either dress up as a princess or I'll spread rumors that you and Kisho are going out!" Joannu black mailed.
"Fine!" Kuro said crossing her arms like a child.
Just then they heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it," Kuro sighed, when she opened the door though, she saw kisho on the other side.
"Is this a bad time?" He asked.
She closed the door really quickly again, "Uhhh…I'll be right back…" she laughed nervously and went outside closing the door behind her.
"What are you doing here!" Kuro said demanding for an answer.
"Well, this is my room too!" Kisho replied.
"Well, you can't go in now."
"Why not?"
"They've gone mental, and they wanna pick out a costume for me," Kuro blushed from the embarrassment.
"Who's they?"
"Just your sisters, and Olette." Kuro sighed, "Now go somewhere else, like Sora's room and hang out there for a while. I don't want them to know we're rooming together. Who knows how much commotion that will cause with our friends and your fan girls? Now go okay, bye!" She demanded pushing Kisho towards the direction of Hayner and Sora's room, and then went back inside their room.
"Jeez…talk about bossy…" Kisho muttered as he continued walking around.
Inside the room Joannu was asking who the person was at the door.
"Some guy, he knocked at the wrong door and I told him to go somewhere else," Kuro replied as if it was nothing.
"Okay then!" Olette said going back to fixing up the dress.

Kuro opened the door to see all his guy friends already wearing costumes.
"Hey Kisho, we were just about to call you!" Riku said waving his hand as if to say hello.
"I'm kinda glad you didn't…" Kisho thought thinking they were all dorky looking, "And what are you supposed to be?" He said pointing at Hayner, Riku and Sora's matching costumes.
"We are, the Three Musketeers!" Sora said dramatically and doing some weird stance with Riku and Hayner.
"Riight…" Roxas said sitting on one of the beds.
"Wakka is going to be the living dead, a.k.a zombie," Tidus said proudly. "I'm kinda gonna be a.. a what?" Ven rubbed his head. "James Von!" The others said with a sigh.
"I'm going to just film everyone so I don't need a costume like you guys to attend," Pence laughed, he was in the journalism/newspaper club so he had to film almost every event for the school.
"What are you going to be?" Wakka asked.
"I don't know, a vampire?" Kisho shrugged.
"No, almost half the population this year is going to be that, or either cosplay a Final Fantasy character or something," Riku stated.
"How about a prince? It's so not original that no one would bother dressing up as that!" Sora suggested.
"I think I know the real reason why they won't," Kisho shivered at the thought.
"C'mon Kisho, I bet your princess will be waiting for you at the dance!" Ven grinned and exaggerated the word princess.
"Yeah Kisho, and I knew you would forget about buying a costume so I went out and bought you one!" Sora said showing the outfit hanging in his closet door.
"Fine, but I'm only in it for the cheap food!" Kisho crossed his arms.
"That's the spirit!" Hayner said giving his buddy a thumbs up.

It was six o'clock and the girls were still putting on their finishing touches before the dance. Joannu and Leiko where nothing really. Joannu had a white a starp dress that got to hers knees, it had a ripped aperance. Leiko's was black, the two where the entretaiment really. Only for the munny and candy for Leiko though. But they still had masks on.
Olette didn't bother with that, she just put on and over load of face powder so you would really pale like a real vampire.
"Kuro, come out of the bathroom already we wanna go soon!" Joannu whined pounding on the bathroom door.
"Okay, jeez…" when Kuro came out all three girls stared in awe.
"You look awesome!" Olette squealed.
"Give me a break for once and hand over that mask so know one will know it's me!" Kuro said threateningly.
Leiko gave the dar blue mask that matched perfectly. Ollette told her to leave her hair down and put on a random blue necklace that she owned, and also not where any make up or it would destroy her whole look.
Kuro was practically just listening to everything they said and nodded before going to the dance which was at a different building nearthe dormthat the school rented out.

"I wonder where the girls are," Sora wondered. The guys were already at the dance and were just waiting to see where the girls in the group were.
"What, you wanna dance with Jin?" Riku grinned.
"Of course I-hey! You tricked me!" Sora blushed. The boys started laughing their heads of at Sora.
"Hey guys, I'm going to get a drink, see ya later," Kisho waved goodbye and started walking away. The guys just nodded and continued teasing Sora.
When Kisho left though, four girls entered the doors. The boys all quickly recognized them from their hair colors, well everyone with exception for Sora. Dope huh? (Joannu has white hair that's why, and Kuro and Leiko have black)
"Wow! Who's the angel?" Sora blushed staring in awe.
"Are that stupid?" Riku asked.
"Hey guys! Hi Sora!" Joannu ran up to them.
"Do I know you?" Sora asked.
"I'm the only one in the school with this kind of white hair!" Joannu raised an eyebrow.
"Umm…sorry, not ringing any bells here," Sora laughed nervously.
Joannu tried giving him a few more hints but it didn't work, "Ugh, you bum!" Joannu hit him on the head playfully, "Oh well, we aren't supposed to reveal who we are until eight, so let's dance!" She grabbed Sora's hand who was blushing furiously now and dragged him to the dance floor.
"Aww…their so adorable!" Olette squealed.
"I'm gonna get a drink, okay?" Kuro waved goodbye.
"Wait, let me co-" Leiko was cut off because Ven and Riku quickly shushed her.
When Kuro was out of earshot they both let go of Leiko.
"What was that for?" Leiko yelled, she WAS thirsty.
"Kisho also went for a drink, so we just wanna see what happens," Ven grinned, all the guys nodded.
"Good one..." Leiko smirked.

At the food table someone bumped into Kuro.
"Sorry about that Princess…" the guy held his hand to help her up.
Kuro didn't bother taking it, and stood up by herself, "PRINCESS! I'm not a prin- riight…the dress, stupid friends, well only two…" Kuro mumbled that last two words.
"Haha, sounds like you have some pretty bossy friends too," Kisho laughed.
Kuro wasn't really paying attention though. She was lost in his falur red orbs, but she didn't recognize him. He was wearing a mask and a prince costume, as wells as a hat with the side tiled and a alrge feather, but she liked the way his grey hair was still messy even though he was in a such a formal outfit. (Another naive one or what?)
"Huh? What was that again?" Kuro laughed, being a little embarrassed.
"How about I get you some fruit punch?" Kisho smiled.
He never really paid attention to who she was, and either way he couldn't quite put his finger on it on what her identity was. He felt so attracted to her; she looked like a porcelain doll in her dress. And her laugh was so adorable to him.
After Kuro finished her drink, she quickly disposed of her cup and decided to follow this mysterious prince. But little did the lovebirds know that their friends were eaves dropping on them.
"This better work!" Leiko said as she hid behind some plants.
"That's what you say about every couple you know!" Pence pointed out while video taping the two.
They're so oblivious!" Sora laughed, but everyone just stared at him giving a what-a-dimwit kind of look, "What!"
"Never mind! Jeez, where are they now? I think we lost track of them," Joannu sighed.

Soon a slow dance song began to play, it was Passion: After the Battle by Utada Hikaru (A/N: I thought I'd use her KH2 song because Simple and Clean is kind of over used, don't you think? No offense to you writers who have used it though for your dance chapters! XD)
Kisho tapped on Kuro's shoulder, "Wanna dance?" He held out his hand towards her smiling.
"Okay," Kuro blushed taking his hand.
The two slow danced gracefully on the dance floor. Kuro just kept staring at him, it felt like a dream or something that came out of a fairy tale book or something. She loved the feeling of him close by; it felt so natural being with him. When it was half way through the song Kuro was brought back to reality.
"Hey, why don't we go outside? It's kinda getting stuffy in here with all the people," Kisho suggested letting go of her petite figure.
"Sure, okay," she agreed holding his hand all the way outside.

Outside the two sat on a bench under a huge cherry blossom tree. It was quiet outside compared to the booming music inside the building, but you could still hear the faint sound of music coming from within.
"The stars are so pretty," Kuro smiled, looking at the twinkling lights above.
Kisho just stared at her; he was so captivated by everything about her. The way she talked, the way she looked. Kisho just sighed. Kuro felt his eyes on her and turned to look at him. Kisho was totally captured by her deep oceanic eyes.
"May I ask what you're looking at prince?" Kuro laughed at the fact she tried to act all sophisticated.
"You just look so familiar some how…" Kisho blushed.
"I know what you mean…"
They both started moving in closer. They were about an inch apart before their lips would have touched, but then…
"Hey guys!" Leiko yelled interrupting the two.
"Leiko?" Kisho and Kuro said in unison surprised to see their friend, "Wait, you know her?"
"C'mon, no time to waste! Joannu said somthing about the teachers are supposed to announce something!" Leiko took Kuro's hand and dragged her towards the building.
"That girl looks so much like her, despite the blue eyes though..." Kisho thought.
"Wait, I never got your…" Kuro yelled, "…name." the boy was already lost in the crowd.
