Sometimes each one alone

Star crying in a moonless night"

"I don't care anymore! C'mon Jin!" Olette and Joannu just flipped the game board over and mixed up all the pieces.
"You people are crazy!" Kisho exclaimed.
"What was that for?" Kuro yelled.
"Who cares? We all just wanna sleep, and you two need it too!" Joannu exclaimed waking up the others from all the yelling. "Damn it Jin! I need sleep!" Leiko whinned as she pushed Ven of her back.
Everyone was going back to their rooms while Kisho and Kuro sighed. The two just put back all the pieces before Kuro went back to her room.
"Ugh! Why are boys so hard to shop for?" Leiko exclaimed.
Today was Tuesday, week one of their vacation. Everyone was out shopping for gifts to give to their Kris Kringles so they wouldn't have to worry about it for the rest of the week.
"Remember the gift has to twenty munny minimum or else me and Sora are gonna make you re-buy that gift!" Joannu stated, "anyways at least it's Riku I got for the Kris Kringle thing, because Kisho, Leiko and I have known him since forever. But I still wanna get something for Sora!" she laughed.
"Hey Leiko, since you got Pence, I suggest buying him a memory card for his camara," Olette joked. She and Pence have been best friends, along with Hayner and Kisho since the third grade. So she knew a lot about him.
"Yeah, okay I guess…" Leiko sighed in relief.
"You got it easy Lei; I don't even know where to start with Kisho!" Kuro complained.
"Skateboard," they all stated in unison.
"Skateboard?" Kuro gave them a puzzled face.
"Yeah, Kane totally loves skateboards! He's been complaining to us how much he's been wanting one for some time now," Joannu giggled.
"Okay then, I guess I'll buy him that. You guys can go ahead; I'll meet you back at the hotel for lunch!" Kuro waved goodbye.
"Okay, bye!" they all waved her off. Kuro separated from the group to find herself a skateboard shop around town.

On the other side of the shopping district, Kisho, Sora and Riku were all searching aimlessly for their presents.
"So what should I get Jin? I already bought Wakka an autographed Bliztball from the Besaid Aurochs," Sora asked sighing.
"Why ask me what girls like? I don't even know what to get Kuro!" Kisho complained putting his hands inside the pockets of his grey winter jacket.
"For Jin, I suggest a necklace or some kind of white gold. As for Kuro, hmmm…Kisho you seem close to her. What does she like to do for fun?" Riku asked.
"Well…one time in art class Mr. Tsubasa did tell us to draw ourselves doing our favorite hobby. And I think she drew herself sketching something…" Kisho replied looking back at a few memories.
"That's your answer. Buy her a new sketchbook with some pencil crayons, and to make it really special draw something on the first page. Believe me she'll love it!" Riku grinned.
"I don't know where you're getting at, but that just might work. Thanks Riku!" Kisho smiled.
"Wow Riku, you sure know how to get girls the perfect present!" Sora said in awe.
"Just doin' my job," Riku smirked.
"Well anyways, I'm gonna find myself an art store. Meet you two later!" Kisho waved goodbye before running off.
As soon as he was out of earshot Riku grinned, "He's soo into her!"
"Yup!" Sora nodded as the two walked away looking for their Kris Kringle presents.

As Kisho was walking around town, he suddenly stopped to look at a skateboard shop. He looked at the window to see the prices on a sign and sighed.
"Fifty munny for a skateboard? It used to be like twenty, why is it so expensive in this part of town! I'll just get one when summer comes around…" Kisho pouted sadly as he walked away from the shop.
Kisho stuffed his hands in his pockets again and sighed before continuing for his search for the art shop. As he was walking by he bumped into someone causing both of them to fall on the ground.
"Oww! That hurt, what the big idea you-Kisho?" Kuro stood up brushing the snow off her pants, "No wonder, hmph!" she walked away angrily pass the boy, "He can forget about that skateboard!"
"Ookay…that was odd…" Kisho thought.
When he stood up from the snow covered ground, he saw something shiny that was covered by the snow where Kuro fell. Roxas picked up the small, shiny object.
"A grey pearl…did Kuro drop this? W-wait a minute didn't I give mine to that girl…" Kisho continued walking around town staring at the necklace deep in thought, "but, anyone could have bought it, it's just a coincidence…but Kuro told me before that she moved away… she can't be!"

Kisho soon found the art store and bought the gift for Kuro after his little reminiscence. When he got back to the hotel, he noticed the gang was all gloomy in the lobby room, but they were missing one person.
"Hey guys, where's Kuro?" Kisho asked.
"She's upstairs…" Leiko replied with a sigh.
"What happened?" he continued to question walking closer to the group.
"I don't know…she just keeps on crying about something lost," Olette answered sighing like Lei.
"She'll probably feel better in the morning," Kisho shrugged.
"How can you be so mean!" Joannu exclaimed before stormingaway with the other two girls toward the elevator.
"Jeez Kisho, that was kinda mean," Hayner stared at Kisho in shock.
"Well she's always mean to me, so whatever."
All the boys just sighed before going back upstairs towards their rooms.

The next morning everyone met at the lobby to go and find some breakfast. None of them really liked hotel breakfast food, so they always found places to eat in.
"Hey, is Kuro still depressed?" Pence asked.
"Yeah, she won't tell me anything. All she does is look at me then continues crying. Kuro didn't even eat dinner last night," Olette replied.
"I'm getting worried…" Joannu added.
After hearing everything, Kisho began to feel guilty, "What could she be sad about?" Kisho turned to the others, "Hey guys, I'm gonna eat breakfast later. I kinda forgot something upstairs!" he lied. Kisho waved goodbye to everyone and went in the elevator.
"He didn't forget anything did he?" Olette smiled.
"Nope," Hayner smirked before he and Olette joined the others again.

Kisho walked up to the room where Kuro and Olette stayed and stood by the door.
"Okay, breathe…" Kisho mumbled to himself; he knocked on the door and began talking, "Hey Kuro, are you still sad? Or is it that you're still mad at me about yesterday?"
Kuro didn't say anything. Kisho got curious so he put his ear against the door; all he could hear was sobs coming from the other side. His heart began sinking lower that it was now.
"Kuro?" Kisho opened the door out of his own will.
He saw the fragile girl sobbing on her pillow. He closed the door behind him at sat down beside her on her bed, "Hey Kuro, tell me what's wrong. You're making feel guilty…" Kisho put his hand on her shoulder.
What Kuro did next shocked him. He began blushing furiously as the girl put her arms around shoulder and began crying on his chest.
"H-he hates me, I kn-know he does!" Kuro said between her sobs, "And y-you probably hate me t-too!"
Kisho didn't really know how to react, "I don't hate you! And I don't think he hates you either. I mean why would he?" Kisho smiled.
"You're lying to make me feel better…I l-lost it and he's going to be mad at me!" She began crying more causing Kisho's shirt to be really wet.
Kisho just put his arms around her. He was really dumb when it came down to girls, especially crying ones.
"Uhh… Kuro, what did you lose exactly?"
"M-my necklace…"
"Is that it? Then just go out and buy a new one to replace it."
Kuro looked up at Kisho and her deep ocean orbs contact with his apple red ones. Her tearful stare quickly changed into a angry glare though.
"Huh?" Kisho gave her a puzzled look.
"You jerk!" she pushed him off the bed and began crying in her hands again.
"What was that for?" Kisho sat up straight on the floor.
"Just leave me alone. I'm already having enough trouble with you here as it is!" Kuro glare at him with tears streaming from her eyes.
When Kisho looked at her, she reminded him of the day when Kuroi was crying and left. Kisho sighed, "I-I'm sorry Kuro…" (a/n: I changed Kurori to Kuroi)
"Just go away I said!" she yelled at him.
Kisho stood up, as he was about to go out the door her remembered something, "Wait, I-I think I know what you're looking for," Kisho took out a small necklace with a grey pearl out of his pocket and put it on Kuro's hand.
"I-it's my necklace!"
"Yeah…I thought it would be. Anyways see you later!" Kisho said putting his hand on the door knob.
"Wait!" Kuro called out.
"Huh?" When Kisho turned around the girl just hugged him, "Uhh…Kuro?" Kisho's face began turning pink.
"Thanks a lot, for finding it. I wouldn't know what I would've done if I didn't," Kuro looked up at the flustered boy and smiled, "Hey, don't think of it that way!" she said letting go of him as she put her hands on her hips.
"Thinking of what? Anyways let's go now; the others are waiting for us."
"Others?"
"Yeah, I kinda ditched them saying I forgot something back in my room so I could see what was wrong with you," Kisho smiled warmly to the confused Kuro.
"You know, you can be really nice sometimes," Kuro laughed.
"Yes, I know I am!" he said sarcastically.
"Don't push it!" she punched him in the arm playfully.
"Oh yeah, who is that guy that you were crying about? The one that you said that was probably gonna get mad at you?" Kisho asked.
"Someone really special I used to know," Kuro smiled warmly.
When Kisho saw Kuro smile he noticed something different about it. It seemed more radiant and beautiful than the rest. But Kisho knew the smile was only meant for that special person. It made him feel left out and kind of sad for some reason.
"Well, we better get going or else they might think something happened to us!" Kisho laughed.
"Yeah…" Kuro agreed. She had to admit, she really liked hanging out with Kisho when he wasn't acting like complete jerk. Kuro quickly took Kisho's hand and held it before he opened the door smiling. He didn't really mind at all though, and smiled back.
When Kisho turned the door knob and pulled open the door, everyone (As in Sora, Joannu, Hayner, Olette, Wakka, Leiko, Ventus, Riku and Pence) came falling toward the ground on top of each other. Kuro and Kisho quickly let go of each others hand and glared at everyone.
"What the hell were you guys doing?" Kisho continued to glare suspiciously.
"Uhh…that's um…" Sora was looking for an answer as they all stood up.
"Uhh…we umm…came back with Olette to grab her stuff that she need right?" Hayner said nudging at the brunette.
"Y-yeah, they were! I forgot my extra munny!" Olette and the others began laughing nervously.
"And all of you came because?" Kisho said raising an eyebrow.
"B-because we wanted to get you and Kuro. R-right everyone?" Pence asked the others.
"Right!" They all said in unison.
"You guys are lame. Anyways, let's just forget about all of this and eat. I'm starving!" Kisho laughed.
Kuro smiled; she was feeling a lot better now seeing all of her friends around her. They all continued on their way outside for breakfast.
"So Kane…what did happen between you two?" Hayner smirked at the other boy.
"Shut up!" Kisho glared as a blush crept on to his cheeks.

After eating breakfast, they all continued shopping for their gifts. When Kisho retrieved Kuro's necklace she really wanted to give him much more than just any old skateboard.
"Umm…excuse me?" Kuro said getting the store clerk's attention.
"Yes, how may I help you?" the older man asked.
"Can I have that deal with the design your own skateboard thing?" Kuro replied.
"Sure, all you need is a design, and then you can pick it up tomorrow."
"Oh okay, umm…here," Kuro took out a folded piece of paper out of her bag and handed it to him.
The man unfolded it and looked at it and smiled, "Wow, interesting design. All you have to do is pay seventy munny right now and we'll do the job. If we don't finish it by tomorrow, you can get your munny back guaranteed."
"SEVENTY MUNNY! As in seven and a zero?" Kuro exclaimed. The man just nodded as if it always happened to him, "I guess it's worth it…"
Kuro paid her munny and went out of the store. She sighed, but a soon a big smile spread across her face, "I hope he likes it…" she thought as she walked down the sidewalk to meet up with her friends.
