A star's duty

Previous:
Youka couldn't stop laughing, no one could. No one had ever seen something so fun as this. youka couldn't control her laughing anymore, but that wasn't the only thing she couldn't control. Layton had seen her shine before but never so bright as this, the whole room was filled with light and everyone had to close their eyes. the music stopped and the laughing ended. Youka also noticed this and stopped laughing. She looked around to see everyone closing their eyes. she looked at her skin and immediately stopped shining. Unfortunately that was a stupid idea. As you know by now youka is a star, and stars can't dim their lights so fast, it's not healthy for them. Youka's world turned cold and black and she felt herself falling to the ground. The last thing she heard was the professor calling her name…

Chapter6 ''happy birthday, my little star''

She woke up from something cold and wet touching her front head. she felt like a huge boulder hit her head. she slowly opened her eyes, adjusting to the light she saw a figure hovering over her. After a few blinks she could see it was the professor with a towel in his hands.

''she's awake everyone'' he said.

Youka saw that they were in her room again. Everyone suddenly appeared from the ground and walked besides her.

''are you all right youka? Any pain''? she heard flora asking.

''of course she had pain, she passed out and hit the ground, that must have hurt'' klaus said.

Youka slowly managed to sat up straight. ''hmmm I'm all right guys, but what are you doing here''?

''what do you mean my dear''? the professor asked.

''I mean why are you still around me, you have seen what I am, I'm a freak''.

''you're not a freak , and we are just concerned about you, we still are your friends and friends worry about each other'' the professor said.

Youka felt tears whelming in her eyes.

''please tell us what is happening to you'' katia said.

Youka sighed. ''you really want to know''? they all nodded.

''fine, but It's gonna sound weird''.

''that's all right, we believe whatever you say'' anton said.

''you promise''? she asked.

''we promise'' luke said.

'' okay….I'm not what I seem to be, I am not human''.

''wait you mean like an alien''? klaus said.

''no klaus, she means like a star'' Layton said.

Youka looked surprised at Layton. ''wait…how do you know''? she asked.

''it was obvious, your skin glow's a sort of yellow light only when you're happy or ashamed, and when your sad or angry your skin turns grey or worse''. ''a star in form of a human, fascinating'' he added.

Everyone looked from youka to the professor.

''wait this is nonsense, there's no such thing as a star in human form'' flora said.

''if you don't believe it then look'' youka said.

She buried her head into her arms and thought of the thing that would make her the most happy in the world. ''Hershel….'' She thought. She lightly began to glow brighter and brighter, eventually she was so bright that everyone had to close their eyes again. After a moment the light began the dim ever so slow, and everyone opened their eyes again. When the light was gone youka sat up straight again.

''see I'm a star, my emotions control my light, the happier I am the brighter shine''.

''wow that's incredible'' flora said.

''yes it's pretty awesome but also a curse for life'' youka said.

'' Are there more people on the planet who have this youka''? Layton asked.

''yes all the stars in this universe are first people, normal stars life a live on earth for 21 years but on their 21 birthday they die on earth and shoot as a star to the sky''.

''you say normal stars, are there abnormal stars''? luke asked.

''yes there are a few stars who are important, like the stars in the horoscopes and the polestar''.

''what kind of star are you''? Layton asked.

youka sighed and looked at the professor. ''I am the polestar''.

''what is so different for the polestar''? he asked.

''normal stars can only fall in love with other stars, the horoscope stars can only fall in love with other horoscope stars, but the polestar is doomed''.

''why is that''? anton asked.

'' the polestar get's a period of 21 years to find her mortal true love, but if she doesn't find him she's doomed to marry the moon''.

''then moon is also someone''? luke asked.

'' yes, it's a stupid guy named Adam''.

''when is your birthday youka''? katia asked.

she sighed again. ''tomorrow…''.

''what couldn't you say that sooner''.

'' heh heh…no''.

''you didn't find your true love did you''? Layton asked.

''I don't know, my mother(also a star) told me that I would know who my true love was as I kissed him on my birthday''.

''If that would happen I would shine brighter than the moon''.

''let me guess, every year when you were in love with someone you kissed the guy on your birthday and you didn't shine'' klaus said.

''yes…''. ''but I asked the stars for advice and they said that I would have to look on the mount Everest for him''.

''you don't think one of us is it right''? anton asked.

''maybe…''youka said.

''so you will have to kiss all the guys in this room at 12:00 to see if one of us is your true love or else you will die tomorrow and have to marry the moon''? klaus said.

''yes…'' she answered.

All the guys turned bright red. Youka looked at the clock, it was all ready 23:50.

'' I know for sure it isn't me, sorry youka'' anton said.

''why not''? katia asked.

''because….I'm all ready in love with you…''.

Katia eyes shot open and she jumped into his arms. ''ow anton I love you to''.

''uhm…I'm sorry youka but the same goes for me….I'm also all ready in love'' luke said.

''on who''? youka asked.

luke slowly adverted his gaze to flora. Flora's eyes were all ready in tears and she also jumped into Luke's arms. The two couples cuddled for a moment and sat back on the bed. The clock began to ring, it was 12:00. Youka looked from the professor to klaus to the clock and all over again.

''klaus…Hershel… are you also all ready in love''? she asked.

they looked at each other and back to youka before answering ''yes''. Youka looked disappointed to the ground.

''on…who''? she asked in a soft voice.

''you'' they both answered.

Youka looked shocked from Layton to klaus who were also looking shocked at each other.

''okay… I will have to kiss you both then''.

She stood up from the bed and walked towards klaus. She looked into his eyes and placed one hand on his chest, one hand on his cheek. She leaned forward and klaus leaned down. The professor adverted his gaze as their lips met. The kiss lasted for 10 seconds all ready but youka still wasn't glowing. She broke the kiss.

''I'm sorry klaus….you're not my guy''. She said.

'' Too bad'' he said.

Youka walked over to Layton, who was still looking the other way.

''Hershel'' she whispered as she stood before him.

He turned his head and stared into her eyes. she placed her hands on both of his cheeks and pulled him closer. Just before their lips met she stopped him and said something so soft that only he would hear it.

''I hope it's you''.

He placed one hand on her back and leaned forward, but just before they finally kissed they were interfered by a growl.

''happy birthday my little star'' a voice said.

They looked at the window where the voice came from. In front of the window was a man looking harsh at youka.

''Adam'' youka whispered.

it was the moon.

''I came to get you my dearest youka'' he said.

''no wait not yet, let me first kiss this man'' youka shouted.

''ow but I can't let you do that honey, even if he IS your true love, your mine now, your 21''.

''hold on sir, she is a lady and a real gentleman respects the wishes of a woman'' Layton said.

''and who are you if I may ask'' Adam asked.

''my name is Hershel Layton and I am truly in love with youka shine''.

Youka shined bright as she heard the love confession of the professor.

''hmm is see, would you like to battle me Layton''?

''I beg your pardon sir''? Layton said.

''you and me, we battling under the stars over a star isn't that funny''.

''I'm sorry to refuse your offer but I do not going intend to fight''.

''not even over a lady''? Adam said.

Youka saw that he hesitated. ''please stop Adam, I don't want to go with you, even if I haven't kissed Hershel, I all ready know for sure that he is my true love'' youka said.

''pfff, him? No he's too weak to own a polestar''.

''he doesn't own me even if he is my true love''.

''whatever your coming with me babe''.

''WAIT A MINUTE'' klaus yelled.

Everyone looked confused at klaus.

''let me get this straight, youka is the pole star, that dude over there is the moon and wants to take her away and Layton is probably her true love but we don't even know that for sure''? klaus said.

''yep'' everyone said at the same time.

''youka maybe we indeed need to find out first if I am your true love'' Layton said.

She nodded before folding her arms around his neck and kissing him.

''wait...NOOO''! Adam shouted.

Layton closed his eyes and kissed her back. He pulled her closer and let one hand flow true her hair. She moaned as he trailed his tongue over her lower lip. She gladly opened her mouth. He slowly entered her wet cavern and explored. The kiss was much deeper now. Youka began to shine again. Only more brighter than normal. The prediction of the stars was correct. She shined brighter than normal when she would kiss her true love on her birthday. The whole building was covered in light, and everyone needed to close their eyes. Adam could only watch and do nothing, he had lost her forever. After 2 minutes they broke the kiss to breath.

After Layton had caught his breath he walked over to Adam and said'' I think you have no business here anymore sir''.

''but…but…I need to bring a pole star with me or else the whole universe could explode'' Adam proclaimed.

''you can bring me if you would like'' a soft voice said.

Everyone looked at the source of the voice.

It was KLAUS!''wait klaus, you're gay''? flora asked.

''NO….maybe….yes'' Klaus said.

''well that's also good if you really want to be a pole star'' Adam said.

''yes I really want to'' klaus said.

''all right you have 10 minutes to say your goodbye's''. klaus nodded.

'' Klaus are you really sure you want this'' youka said.

''yes absolutely, when you two were kissing I realized what my purpose in life is, to be the next pole star, and that I'm gay but that was not a real surprise''. ''I want to thank you all for being such good friends for the past 4 years, and I want to say that I love you all''.

Everyone joined in for a huge group hug and some of them had to cry.

''youka, I need to tell you that your no longer a pole star anymore but just a normal star, you will live your life here on earth together with Layton who's now also a star'' Adam said.'' After you die here on earth you will be a star for the next thousand years together with Layton, and after the thousand years you will be reunited with your friends and family in heaven''.

''that's great'' youka said.

She looked at the professor with lovingly eyes knowing for sure that she will be by his side forever.

''good bye, I will always look over you'' was the last thing klaus said before disappearing into the sky.

The polestar and the moon never were so bright in history. Two weeks later the boys had a plan. They brought the girls to the top of the mount Everest at full moon. Finally on the top the boys kneeled in front of their lovers and asked them THE question ''will you marry me''. The girls all screamed and hugged and kissed their future husbands. Their weddings where on the same days and they were each others bridesmaids and best man's. at night after the great day youka married professor Hershel Layton, she was standing on the balcony at their honeymoon place staring of in the sky. They picked the place where they had first met the mount Everest. Layton walked true the curtains outside to his new beloved wife. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. She moaned and sighed. `

''are you all right my dear'' he asked while kissing her shoulder softly.

''yes I was just thinking…''.

''what's so important to think about that your standing here and not with me in the bedroom''.

She giggled as he kissed her other shoulder.

''it's just….when I first was here I thought that it was going to be my last days on earth''.

''is that bothering you''?

''no I'm just….relieved''.

''good..'' he said before kissing her in her neck.

''hmmm Hershel…'' she moaned.

''want to go back inside'' he whispered with lust in his voice.

She turned around and kissed him soft on the lips.

''yes…''.
