Chapter Two: Day Two; Luna

I woke up on the couch the next morning with a headache. I always seemed to get them the day after a flight… I scanned the room and saw Shuichi sprawled out on the floor in front of the television. I stifled a laugh as he let out a loud snore. "Shuichi? Hello? Are you awake yet?" I asked poking him in the stomach.

"Lemme alone…"he mumbled rolling over.

"Come On! Wake up!"

"Five more minutes…"

"Fine…" I groaned. It was decided that he wasn't a morning person. Abandoning my attempts to wake him up I went to find Yuki. I knocked on the door that I had seen him disappear into last night.

"What?" he asked with obvious irritation.

"Can I come in?"

"If you must…"he sighed.

"I don't have to, but I want to…"I told him letting hurt seep into my voice, if it worked with daddy it should work with him. Sure enough a few seconds later he opened the door and let me in. "Thank you" I said smiling brightly at him.

"Just so you know that guilt trip isn't going to work all the time, consider yourself warned."

"Duly noted…." I replied looking around the room. "Jeez, it's like bookworm heaven in here…"

"Well, I am a writer"

"Hn, learn something new every day…." I muttered to myself.

"Hey Yuki, do you know where- Oh, there you are Luna" Shiuchi said walking through the door.

"Glad to see you're finally awake sleeping beauty" I laughed

"You and I were up for half the night"

"Pfft, an' I STILL got up before you did"

"I'm just not a morning person…" he said.

"I kinda figured that out on my own"

"Aren't you two going to be late if you don't hurry up?" Yuki asked us effectively ending our conversation.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING SOONER?" me and Shuichi screamed simultaneously.

"I thought you would stop talking and realize yourselves…" he replied

"And you've known me for how long? I can't remember stuff like that!"

"Yeah! And I haven't seen a clock since I got here!" I chimed in.

"You're wasting time" he said

"You win this round" I growled before dashing off.

I managed to get ready for school in record time, two minutes to get into my uniform and five to get all the things I would need for my classes into my schoolbag. As I rushed out of my room I pulled my hair off my face into a high ponytail.

"Come on Luna! Were gonna miss the Train!" Shuichi yelled grabbing my arm and all but dragging me out of the apartment.

"Dude! You're gonna rip my arm off!"

"Then run faster!" he yelled still running. I noticed he had opted to take the stairs instead of the elevator. We burst out of the stairwell and dashed through the lobby before speeding out on to the streets, the buildings seemingly rushing by in a blur. All of a sudden he came to screeching halt causing me to crash into him.

"We made it" he gasped out breathing hard.

"Yes, but at what cost?" I whimpered rubbing my shoulder. He may not look it but he was really strong.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm just rubbing my shoulder cause I'm cold" I replied sarcastically.

"Point taken, no need to get snippy"

"Snippy? Is that even a word?"

"Uhh… I think so…" he replied.

"Never mind. So, you're gonna go to school with me today, right?"

"No, I have work today, I'm just going to show you where the main office is and then be off"

"Oh… Okay…" I said. The rest of the trip passed in silence until we got off the train. He then told me about the days he had attended the school and how the uniform had changed since then. I quietly listened to him and appeared calm on the out side. Inside I was freaking out, I had assumed that Shiuchi would be with me for my first day but now that I knew he wasn't, I felt slightly nauseous.

"Well, here's the office, I'll meet you at the front of the school at the end of the day, okay?" he asked.

"Okay" I nodded and watched him leave. I took a few deep breaths before turning around and stepping into the office.
