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"
Ohhhh- good part comming up right now!
"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.
Today was a cold and windy Thursday of week one of the gang's trip and they all agreed on finishing up on the present shopping before all the fun stuff began.
Olette sighed in relief, "Yes, I finally found the perfect gift for Hayner. Thanks to Kane of course!"
"Hehe, that's good to know. I already picked up Kisho's present yesterday, so I'm totally free on the Kris Kringle thing!" Kuro smiled.
"Hey, since were all done our Christmas shopping why don't we get back to the hotel?" Joannu suggested.
"Yeah, maybe the guys will have something fun to do!" Leiko exclaimed as she was ready to run all the way there.

The girls soon found the guys lounging around Hayner, Kisho, and Pence's room so they decided to stay there as well. They all either sat on the ground or the bed trying to come up with some fun activity to do for the rest of the afternoon.
"So, what do you wanna do?" Sora asked turning his head towards Joannu.
"I dunno…what do you guys wanna do?" Joannu repeated.
"I dunno…what do you wanna do?" Hayner asked as he continued staring at Olette with a bored look on his face.
"I dunno…what do you-" Olette was interrupted.
"OKAY! This is is getting gay! Let's just figure out what to do before I go crazy!" Riku bursted out in annoyance. The gang just stared at him in shock; they never thought the calm, smooth, and collected Riku would ever go on an outburst. Even his long time friends, Sora and Joannu, continued to stare at disbelief.
Riku sighed and sat back down, "I'm soo bored…"
"Soo…what do you wanna do?" Tidus asked looking at Riku.
"Grr…" Riku clenched his teeth and made a fist.
"I know what to do!" Pence said shooting up from his spot on the ground.
"Really!" Kuro stared at Pence with awe along with the rest of the crew.
"Uhh…no," Pence put his head down in shame as he sat back down.
Everyone did the same and sighed.
"Well, we all gotta do something before we all die in boredom…" Wakka sighed.
"But what do we do exactly?" Kisho asked.
"I know..." Leiko stood up with her monotone look on her face like always.
"Please have an actual idea, unlike Pence!" Sora begged.
"Hey!" Pence exclaimed.
"Of course I have an idea, what do you guys take me for anyway?" Leiko said crossing her arms.
"JUST TELL US ALREADY!" they all exclaimed.
"Fine, fine... Okay, how about we all go swimming in that indoor pool downstairs?" Leiko suggested with a small shiver.
"That just might work!" Hayner smirked.
"Ugh, you pervert! I bet all you wanna do is check us out!" Olette said punching the blonde boy on the arm.
"Ouch!" Hayner began rubbing his left arm.
"Who cares? I just wanna swim!" Ven exclaimed.
Everyone agreed on the activity and went back to their rooms to grab their swimming gear. Except Leiko.

"Ack! Where's my swimming suit?" Kuro exclaimed throwing her clothes all over the place.
"Maybe you forgot it?" Olette said putting her towel in a small bag.
"Yeah, probably…hey Olette, do you have an extra swim suit?" Kuro asked.
"Sorry, try asking Leiko. That girl hates swiming anyway," Olette laughed.
"Okay then. Thanks anyways."
"No problem."
Kuro went two doors down her and Olette's room and knocked on the door three times.
"What's up?" Leiko greeted opening the door wider so Kuro could come in.
"Umm…I was wondering…do you have an extra swim suit?" Kuro asked.
"Your lucky I don't swim," Leiko told her. She started digging through one of her bags and showed two options for Kuro. One of them was a white two piece with dark blue hibiscuses, but the bottom was kind of like short-shorts. The second option was a white two piece with baby blue polka dot that was more revealing. Both Joannu's by the looks of it.
"Okay, so which one do you want?" Leiko asked the girl.
"Umm…these shorts on the white one are way shorter than our gym shorts, and enough said about the other white one!" Kuro sighed, "Don't you have a one piece?"
"Hmm…what wrong with two? You have a great body, so what's there to be shy about?" Kuro had a confused expression.
"To tell you the truth, I never exactly worn one before…" Kuro admitted, "You know what, I'll just take the first one…"
"Good, Jin brought three just in case," Leiko laughed handing over the swim suit, "Now go and change, I'm sure Kane will be drooling all over you."
"Okay…- hey, wait a minute. What was that comment about Kisho?"
"N-nothing, now go I will be with the others," Leiko said pushing Naminé out the door.
As the door was shut closed, Kuro sighed. "I hate two pieces…"

Lucky for the gang, they were the only people occupying the pool. The boys already hit the pool swimming and were waiting for girls.
"Damn, why do they always take so long?" Hayner complained.
"Whatever, I bet you just wanna see Olette, you pervert!" Ven grinned.
"What? And I am not a pervert!" Hayner shot back.
"Pssh! Jin's right man, you do like Olette!" Wakka teased.
"Grr…" Hayner was about to start something until someone greeted them.
"Hey guys! Were finally here, hehe!" Joannu smiled. She was wearing a baby blue swim suit with white stripes.
Sora just kept staring at her and had to shut his mouth from drooling. Olette and Leiko soon came after Kairi. Leiko was wearing a black skirt, ad black tank top. With a pari of dark sun glasses and a vanilla bean from starbucks in her right hand. Olette was also wearing an orange two piece with beige polka dots.
When all the guys saw them, they couldn't help but stare and drool.
"What a bunch of perverts!" Olette exclaimed crossing her arms.
Kisho wasn't really amazed like the other guys, but couldn't help notice a fourth girl missing.
"Hey, where's Kuro?" Kisho asked.
"What, you wanna see her instead?" Leiko teased as she wlaked to the edge of the pool and then shivered.
"No! I'm just wondering where she is!" he blushed.
"Haha, that's what took us so long actually. Kuro wouldn't even come out of the change room!" Joannu laughed pointing at the girl sitting against the wall drawing with a white towel covering her.
"Anyways let's swim!" Olette jumped in the pool.
Everyone was splashing and having fun, but Kisho couldn't stop looking at the lonely artist.
"Hey, what's wrong with Kuro?" Kisho asked swimming up towards his younger sister.
"Yeah, why isn't she swimming with us?" Ven added.
"She told me not to tell you guys," Leiko replied, as she drank her vanilla bean.
"I see…" Kisho said, "Well, I wanna see what's wrong with her." Kisho got out of the pool at started walking towards Kuro.
As Kuro was sketching her little scenery, she couldn't help but look at her friends and sigh, "I hate this bathing suit…"
Before she went back to finishing up her monochrome picture, she noticed someone walking towards her. It was Kisho!
Kuro couldn't help but blush as she saw the grey haired boy. He was wearing light grey swimming trunks with a darker gray stripe going vertical on each side. Most of all he was wet. The water trickled down his well built chest, and his usually messy hair still seemed to stay even with the water.
Kuro quickly went back to reality and adjusted her gaze back towards her picture and continued scribbling some random extras for the scenery so that the image of Kisho would be erased.
"What is wrong with me?" Kuro screamed in her head.
"Hey Kuro," Kisho greeted as he took a seat beside her.
Kuro began blushing more, but continued to draw even faster with her head still down so he wouldn't see her face.
"Hey, can I see?" he asked not even waiting for a reply before grabbing the sketch book.
"Hey!" Kuro was totally caught off guard.
As he stared at the drawing, his expression was surprised. The picture was a pencil sketch of a tropical beach and the shoreline.
"Wow, this is really good!" Kisho exclaimed. Now that he thought about it he never really noticed how great of an artist she was.
The flustered girl quickly snatched the book back in her possession and glared at Kisho, "Ever learned how to mind your own business?"
"You're so mean, you really need to lighten up," Kisho smiled, "you're also a really great artist you know!"
Kuro stared at him surprised at his comment. She didn't know why, but this caused the heat on her cheeks to rise making her face cherry red. The raven girl turned her face away from him again so he wouldn't see, "Can you just go? I mean don't you wanna hang out with the others more? They're a lot more interesting that's for sure."
"Nope. And what are you talking about more interesting; you amuse me by a long shot with all those arguments you make up. Either way I only came here so I could figure out what was wrong with you," Kisho gave her a cheesy grin similar to his friend, Sora.
"Well there's nothing wrong, so just go!"
"Is it because you can't swim?"
"Of course I can! I did live on Destiny Islands most of my life you know."
"Oh that's what the picture was about…you miss living there?"
Kuro nodded, "A little…I guess."
"So this is why you won't join us, because you're homesick? That's still no reason to wear the towel though."
"T-that's not why!" Kuro couldn't tell him she was ashamed of wearing a two piece.
"Okay then, stand up," Kisho ordered.
"Huh?"
"I said stand up, please?"
"Okay fine," so Kuro did what she was told.
"Hmm…something isn't right…I know!" Roxas quickly snatched her towel away and ran near the edge of the pool, "C'mon Kuro just swim with us!"
"No! And give me that towel back!" Kuro exclaimed blushing at the thought that she felt exposed now as she covered her stomach with her arms.
Kisho had to admit she looked hot, "What the hell are you thinking Kisho? She's just another friend of yours. Evil thoughts! Evil!"
"I told you give me my towel back!" Kuro yelled causing Kisho to come back to reality.
"Try and catch me!"
"What?" Kuro just glared at him before running towards his direction.
When she got near him, Kisho surrendered the towel without a fight.
"Okay, what was that all about?" Kuro asked in confusion grabbing the white towel.
"Nothing. But can you close your eyes real quick?"
"I'm not falling for any of your tricks again!" Kuro said as she shot a suspicious look.
"I won't okay?"
"Fine," Kuro shut her eyes.
"Okay, just take my hand; I wanna show you something."
"Okay then," she followed his instructions and took it.
"You can open them now."
As Kuro opened her eyes, all she saw was the pool with her friends in it, "I don't get it?"
"Sure you will!" Kisho grinned as pushed her into the pool and jumped in right after.
"What was that for? And you said no tricks!" the soaking girl exclaimed.
"How else was I supposed to make you come in? And either way, I didn't promise did I?" Kisho smirked.
"Well now that you brought me here…take this!" Kuro began splashing water catching Kisho off guard.
He soon reacted though by splashing back and laughing along with her.
"Aww…aren't you cute?" Olette teased.
"Do you always have to ruin their cute moments?" Joannu sighed.
"We weren't having a moment!" Kisho and Kuro said in unison as thier cheeks had a visible pink.
"Whatever, now that Kuro's here let's play water tag!" Sora cheered.
Sora was it but soon got Hayner tagged first.
"Olette lover! Olette lover!" Ven teased causing Olette to blush madly and Hayner to swim after him in rage.
"They're so immature..." Leiko said putting her vanilla bean down.
"Umm… Leiko, you where like that," Riku pointed out.
"Ehehe?"
Ven was naturally a faster swimmer compared to rampaging Hayner, and still continued to make fun of him. As he was swimming away quickly, Kisho wasn't fast enough to get away causing him to get tackled by Ven, where a domino effect reacted causing him to fall on Kuro who was in front.
Kuro felt something warm and soft pressed against her lips. She opened her eyes widening in shock, as she made contact with rose red orbs. The girl quickly pushed Kisho off of her and put her hand over her mouth.
"T-that was my first…"
"I-I am soo sorry Kuro! It was Ven's fault he pushed me and-"
"You bastard!" Kuro yelled as she slapped him leaving a red hand print before storming out of the pool.
"Ven, you idiot!" Kisho yelled when she left the pool area.
"What happened to Kuro, her face was all red?" Joannu asked as she swam up to the two blonde boys.
"He kissed her!" Ventus exclaimed pointing at Kisho.
Leiko heard this and quickly walked towards them, "Hoshi did what!?"
"Ven friggin' pushed me! You saw it didn't you Hayner?" Kisho asked looking at his best friend.
"Sorry, can't help you there," Hayner shrugged.
"Kane, how could you?" Olette exclaimed.
"I didn't! This idiot caused me to fall on her!" Kisho explained. Everyone believed Kisho seeing that the situation was possible and Kisho wasn't the type to lie.
"Ven, you're so immature…" Riku sighed.
"Either way, you should still apologize to Kuro," Joannu suggested.
"Yeah, you're right." Kisho nodded to his older sister.
Everyone soon got out of the pool before they all turned all wrinkly and changed back to their normal clothes.

Everyone was back at their room, but Joannu and Leiko were at Kuro and Olette's room to cheer up the girl.
"So, how are you feeling?" Olette asked Kuro.
"How do you think I feel? That idiot stole my first kiss!" Kuro replied touching her lips.
"Don't worry Kuro; I know exactly how you feel…" Leiko said whilre she glared.
"Why, what happened to you?" Kuro asked hugging her knees.
"Ventus, that's what!" Leiko had an angry expression replace her usual monotone one.
"Ven! As in the childish Ven we all know and uh… are friends with? As in the one who every girl wants in school!" Olette exclaimed. Leiko just nodded.
"When? HOW!" Joannu asked.
"It was the seventh grade…we just came back from a field trip, and since Joannu and Kisho lived with mom at the opposite side of the neighborhood at the time me and Ven always used to walk home together," Leiko paused.
"AND THEN?" All three girls stared leaning in making sure they heard right.
"Well, when I reached my house he just called my name, so I turned to look at him and then he just kissed me and ran towards his house! That retard… I'm still plotting my revenge…"Leiko said a bit darkly causing the other girls to back away a bit.
"Stupid boys…they're all stupid I tell you…" Kuro stated crossing her arms.
"How 'bout you Jin, who was your first?" Olette asked.
"Now that I think about it, it's probably Sora…" Joannu replied.
"Who cares who your first is!" Olette exclaimed, "What matters is, who's your best!"
They all looked at Olette and sighed. Knowing her, she probably kissed a lot of guys and doesn't even remember her first.
Kuro sighed, "Anyways, let's just go to sleep. It's like what two in the morning."
"Yeah, you're right. Bye Olette, bye Kuro," Joannu and Leiko soon left their room to go to sleep.
"I'm so gonna kill Hoshi..." Leiko said as Joannu nodded.
