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"
Hmm, sorry for taking so long on updating this story… hehe
"There, done! My hand hurts like hell though…" Kisho complained shaking his right hand.
Kisho had just finished coloring in the picture he drew inside sketchbook for Kuro's present, and he had to admit the picture was kind of cool.
"Now, time for the last bit…" he took out a black pen from his pile of pencil crayons and flipped to the back page. He began writing his message and when he was finished he paused for a second and blushed.
"Okay, maybe 'Love Kisho' might be too much…" Kisho scribbled over the love word, "That's better, 'Sincerely Kisho'" he closed the book and sighed, "I hope she likes it…"
As Kisho was deep in thought about Kuro's reaction on opening the gift, the door opened.
"Hey Kisho, c'mon already. We're all downstairs waiting downstairs for you!" Hayner exclaimed leaning on the doorway.
"Alright," Kisho put the sketchbook away in his drawer, along with the pencil crayons before catching up with Hayner.

When the two boys reached the elevators, Kisho sighed as he leaned against the wall.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Hayner asked looking at his depressed best friend.
"It's just that…I think Kuro is still mad at me about the incident…"
"What? That was like last week! Highly doubt it, and Christmas is just around the corner. So she's gotta forgive by then," Hayner assured.
"I guess you're right…" Kisho sighed.
The elevator finally reached the main lobby and the two boys were soon greeted by their cheerful group. Kisho noticed Kuro at the back and decided to walk over towards her to see if she did actually forgive him about the kiss.
"Hey Kuro," Kisho greeted with a smile.
Kuro just looked up to see him and glared. She turned around to see Olette walking by, "Hey Olette, why don't we and the others go for lunch now?"
"Okay?" Olette agreed with a puzzled expression. As the two walked away towards the rest of the group Olette noticed the sulking Kisho. The two girls went over and asked what they were all going to eat in the afternoon.
"Kuro…" Kisho frowned and sighed as she stared at the blonde girl.
"C'mon Kisho, hurry up or we'll leave you!" Pence exclaimed. Kisho just nodded and ran towards the group to catch up with them.

"Hey, Kisho seems down. Why don't we cheer him up?" Olette suggest looking at Kuro.
"You go ahead; I don't really care what happens to him. He can go crawl in a ditch and die there. See if I care!" Kuro said harshly.
"Hmm…kinda cold there, huh Kuro?" Joannu said as she stared in shock of the girl's harsh words.
"Like I said, 'I do not care!'" Kuro stated.
"Yeah, but look at the poor guy," Olette pouted as she pointed at Kisho.
Kuro looked at Kisho then turned her face the other way again, "Can we please talk about something else other than Kisho?"
"Come on, Kuro, even if Kisho is my brother and all- I would've forgiven him with a small kiss already- But, then again… A kiss might just go saying we're both being into incest" Leiko said.
While Hayner and Pence were laughing at a joke that Sora told, Kisho was looking at his shoes all depressed like a dark cloud was over his head.
Kuro stole another glance at the boy, "It was an accident…"

Everyone decided to eat at Pizza Hut, where they chose one of the many favorite selections; Pepperoni pizza.
"I want another one!" Leiko and Ventus asked in unison as they held up thier plates.
"Holy cow man, that's like your tenth slice you two!"Sora exclaimed as he stared in disbelief.
"Food is food!" Ven grinned before stuffing the slice of pizza in his mouth.
"Whatever," Sora sighed.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot!" Joannu smiled, "Mom and Dad rented us some skis and everything for the rest of the afternoon. All we have to do is take the train there and we're good to go!"
"Really that's awesome!" Sora exclaimed.
"I'm in!" Hayner said.
"Me too!" Olette smiled.
"Me three!" Riku stated.
"The rest of us too!" Kuro exclaimed.
"Don't count me in!" Leiko whined as she ate her pizza.
"So it's set. Since its eleven o'clock, we have to meet at the lobby by twelve so we can start skiing!" Joannu cheered.
They all agreed and finished the rest of the pizza that was their lunch before heading back to the hotel.

"Okay everyone, got their stuff?" Joannu asked the group.
"Yup!" They all replied in unison.
"Okay, just a reminder that all the equipment we're gonna use is at the place so you don't have to worry. Now let's go!" Joannu smiled.
The train station was walking distance, so they didn't take anybody's car there. They all took seats near each other and just chatted away until they reached their destination. When they got off they had to walk again towards the ski lodge before checking in.
"Hey guys, Ven and I, aren't really in the mood to ski right now. So we're gonna hang out at the ski lodge. Okay?" Leiko stated.
"Okay, we understand. See you guys later!" Sora waved goodbye before running off with the others to grab their equipment.

"So the girls want skis and the guys want snowboards, right?" Olette asked.
"Yeah," Riku replied.
"Okay then," Joannu turned towards the renting place, "Can we rent three skis and four snowboards please?"
The employees handed them the equipment and they all put it on. The girls went their separate ways knowing that Kuro didn't want to go anywhere near Kisho at the moment.
"Aww…Leiko and Ven should have come with us!" Joannu pouted.
"Yeah I know they're missing out on all the fun," Olette smiled.
Kuro just nodded not knowing what to say. They were all skiing up a hill when Kuro noticed someone in the air doing some awesome tricks on their snowboard before landing.
"Whoa that was awesome! Who was that?" Kuro exclaimed staring at the boy from a far.
"That was just Kane showing off," Joannu laughed.
"How did he learn to do that?" Kuro continued to ask in awe.
"Not that he's much of a snowboarder, but he does love his skateboard. And they're practically the same thing to him, so he's pretty good at both!" Olette explained.
"I see," Kuro nodded.
"Hey, how about we head back. I bet those guys are already feeling lonely without us," Joannu mused.
"Okay let's go," Kuro agreed.

"Hey guys, how did you get here before us?" Joannu asked looking at the boys.
"Sora here couldn't stop talking about hot chocolate, so I raced him here to shut him up!" Riku laughed.
"I see," Joannu giggled sitting beside the spiky brunette boy.
"Why don't we all get some too?" Olette smiled.
Everyone lined up at the ski lodge and waited for their hot and yummy drinks before sitting back down with their friends. The girls sat in a separate area than the boys though in another table near theirs.
"Hey guys, I was just wondering, if you could choose the three hottest guys in our group only, who would it be?" Olette asked randomly.
"What?" Kuro choked as she sipped her drink.
"C'mon just answer; my own would definitely be Ven, Riku, and Kisho!" Olette squealed but quiet enough so the boys wouldn't hear.
"Of course Sora for me!" Joannu smiled, "And the other two would probably be Riku, and Kisho. Even though his my little brother" She laughed.
"I guess Ven, Riku, and Kisho," Leiko said taking another sip at her drink and turned a page from her book. "Even though he's my big brother."
"How about you Kuro?" Olette asked looking at the girl.
"Hmm…mmm…mm…" Kuro mumbled as she drank.
"What was that, c'mon don't drink while you talk!" Olette exclaimed.
"Okay! Kisho, Riku, and Sora!" Kuro admitted.
"Cool, same list as me!" Joannu laughed. She didn't really mind if her friends thought of her boyfriend that way, as long as they don't make a move. But she didn't expect that form any of them.
"Hehe, I just noticed. Kisho is the popular one in our list!" Olette giggled.
"Yeah, true!" Joannu said.
"Okay, now for the secrets…" Olette laughed evilly.
"What secrets?" Joannu gave her a bewildered look.
"Okay, who do you like in the school? And you can't say no one because that's such a lie! At least say how he looks like," Olette giggled.
"Pfft! I'm not telling you who I like!" Leiko said.
"Same here!" Kuro agreed with the girl.
"You guys already know I like Sora," Joannu just stared at all of them.
"No way, everybody in this table already knows your crushing on that guy in science class!" Olette exclaimed.
"Oh c'mon guys, you already know who I like. Why can't we know yours?" Joannu asked.
"Okay, the Takeru guy in math class!" Olette blushed as she admitted.
"The math nerd?" Leiko asked.
"He's not a nerd!" Olette defended.
"How about you Kuro?" Joannu asked looking at the girl.
"Nobody in particular…" Kuro blushed.
"You're lying!" Olette grinned.
"Seriously, now that I think about it; I don't really know who I like!" Kuro said.
"Seriously?" Joannu asked.
"Maybe…I guess you could say I don't like anyone because I'm waiting for someone…" Kuro blushed.
"Really, who? What's he like?" Olette continued to ask.
"He was a childhood friend…I made a promise that I'd meet him again here in Twilight Town. But I guess it's impossible now," Kuro sighed.
"Aww…you'll find him again," Olette assured, "Now in the mean time tell who you're close to liking in this school. Or at least who looks the best!" She grinned.
"OLETTE!" They all exclaimed in unison.
"But seriously?" Olette laughed.
"Yeah, she's right! Who do you like in this school?" Joannu asked.
"Jin, you hypocrite" Leiko sighed, because Olette's influence on her oldest sister.
"What, I can't help myself," Joannu laughed.
"C'mon Kuro, tell us, tell us, tell us!" Olette repeated.
"Okay fine! Even though he's mean to me, he's probably the only guy I really interact with the most…so I guess I could say I like Kisho…" Kuro admitted with a sigh.
"W-what! You…like…me?" Kisho and Hayner stared at the girls in shock. The two just walked by their table to go towards theirs and heard the last part of Kuro's sentence.
"YOU DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING! Olette you tricked me!" Kuro yelled as her face began turning a cherry red.
"Ehehehe?" Leiko laughed nervously as she looked at her brother's face.
"Yeah, I'll pretend I didn't hear anything!" Kisho said with his eyes wide from shock and a large blush on his face.
"Wow Kuro, I never knew you felt that way about Kisho!" Hayner grinned.
"Shut up Hayner! We were just asking Kuro who she thought was the most good-looking guy in the school because she already likes someone else that we don't know about!" Olette defended the black haired girl.
"So she thinks Kisho is hot now?" Hayner laughed causing Kisho to blush too.
"Who wouldn't?" Leiko said making her brother glare at her with his now very very visible blush.
"You know what, we should leave Kuro alone. I mean she already mad at me enough as it is," Kisho suggest dragging Hayner back to the table.
"But it's funny!" Hayner complained.
"Shut up!" Kisho's cherry face was now turning a darker shade.
"I'm glad that's over…thanks Olette," Kuro smiled.
"WHAT! Kuro likes Kane!" Sora yelled from the other table causing Kuro and the rest to hear it.
"I'm never gonna live it down!" Kuro pretended to cry.
"They'll forget sooner or later, I mean same thing happened to me and Ven" Leiko laughed patting the over dramatic girl on the shoulder.
"Okay…I guess you're right…" Kuro sighed.

Back at the hotel everyone was back in their rooms enjoying the rest of the night.
"Hey I'm going with the Riku and Ven to get some movies. Wanna come?" Leiko asked the depressed girl that was sitting down.
"Hmm…sorry but I just wanna sleep and forget about everything…" Kuro sighed as the embarrassing memories kept flashing in her head.
"Okay then, just don't lock the door okay, just in case of emergency" Leiko went out of the room.
Kuro sat on her bed and sighed. She went in her drawers and picked out some pajamas before taking off her clothes and putting them on.
"Hey Kuro, I need to talk to you-holy crap!" Kisho exclaimed covering his eyes.
"What the hell! Don't you ever learn how to knock?" Kuro exclaimed covering her exposed body with her shirt. She was only wearing her black under garments when Kisho entered the room. Even she never showed a guy that much, even with a bathing suit.
"I'm blind!" Kisho exclaimed.
"Now's not the time for jokes! Get out of my room!" Kuro blushed furiously.
Kisho blindly found the door knob and went out the room. Kuro just sighed and quickly put her pajamas on.
"Are you done yet?" Kisho asked.
"Yes…" Kuro was still flushed.
"There's something I wanna talk to you about…" Kisho sighed as he averted her gaze.
"If it's about Olette saying that I like you, it's all a lie, okay?" Kuro said in an angry tone.
"No, that's not it. It's just that…" Kisho went on his knees and begged, "Please forgive give me about the stupid kiss! It was an accident I tell you! And I hate how you keep on avoiding me; you're making me feel more and more guilty!"
"After you seeing me exposed like that…" Kuro glared at the boy, "I still would forgive you, because I can't believe you're pathetic enough to go on your knees and beg for mercy!" she laughed.
"Thanks Kuro," Roxas smiled as he got up off the floor.
"You're welcome. Now get out of the room, I just wanna sleep now," Kuro laughed.
"Okay good night," Kisho smiled as he went out of the room.
"Good night…" Kuro smiled back before she turned the lights off.
