Luna wakes up
Dark fled the battle carrying Night. When Emiko and Kosuke saw him, they were shocked! Too bad they had no idea that the real shock was yet to come!
"So Night ran away to save Satoshi? Poor thing; he must have been terrified!" said Emiko.
"Actually, I wasn't that scared. Mostly I was shocked and confused…" said Night. He had finally switched places with Argentine and his ankle no longer hurt as much as it did.
"Night, what did you have to tell me about your sister?" asked Dark.
"That she was murdered."
"Murdered?! By who?" said Kosuke.
"I have a better question for you; why is it that you got the kind and caring mother and I ended up with a psychotic serial killer?!" grumbled Night.
"Your mother killed Tras? But why on earth would she kill her own child?" said Daisuke.
"I think it was because of some necklace called the Lunar Star…"
"What?! What did you say?!"
"Tras put some weird necklace on me the night before she died. I didn't even know that she did it until Luna told me. She's the one who convinced me to escape!"
"Do you still have the Lunar Star of Darkness?" asked Kosuke.
"I never took it off when she told me it was there. Why do you ask?"
"Night, there's something you need to know about that necklace…"
"What? Is it cursed?"
"No, it isn't cursed. Though it might as well be, considering the fact that it was the only art piece I didn't intend to steal…"
"What do you mean? Does it really belong to you Dark?" asked Emiko.
"The Lunar Star of Darkness… I wonder…" muttered Kosuke before he turned towards Dark and asked, "Dark, was the necklace intended to be a gift for someone?"
"How'd you guess?! I thought no one would figure out the truth…"
"Who was the necklace made for?" asked Daiki.
"Luna and Star. From Dark… am I right Dark?" said Night.
"I'm really shocked that you knew its real name Night. Who told you the real purpose of the necklace?"
"Actually, I was guessing. It was the only thing that made sense. But who is Star?"
"Do you really need to ask, nii-san?" said Star from the window.
"Star is the name Luna gave to her other half. She said it sounded better than Anul."
"Dark, did you know that the necklace still has what's left of Luna's soul in it?" said Star.
"What?! So how do I get her out of it?"
"Put the Rutile Ring onto the necklace and it will take care of the rest," said Star.
Down in the basement of the Niwa house…
"Here goes nothing…" said Dark as he placed the Rutile onto the necklace.
"Dark, there's one thing that's been bothering me…" said Kosuke.
"What is it Kosuke?"
"If the necklace was supposed to be a gift, what kind of gift was it?"
Dark was about to tell them why he wanted to give it to his sister when she finally came out of the Rutile.
"Guess I might as well tell everyone…" muttered Dark, "The night that Luna was hit with the seal was her birthday. I asked the Hikari and Hikawa to make something for her in exchange for a few art pieces they wanted back. But everything went wrong that day and I was never able to give it to her…"
"Brother…" said Luna, touched.
"What's going to happen to Star and Luna now?" asked Night.
"We'll never be able to fly outside on our own until Shadow is sealed for good. We have to stop him before he kills both Satoshi and me!" said Star.
"I wonder why Argentine has never shown up until now…" said Dark quietly.
"Because until now, Shadow controlled the minds of Niri males. Night is the only one to say NO to killing. He disrupted the cycle of death enough for Argentine to be freed from the seal created by the first Shadow."
"So Night is the only one who didn't want to kill? How did that happen?!" said Emiko, shocked.
Everyone looked at Night. He nervously grinned and said, "What? Why's everyone staring at me?"
"Night, is there something you're not telling us?" growled Dark.
"Actually, I might know why I'm the only one who refused to kill people…" said Night slowly.
It was then that Star remembered something she saw one night. She was walking past her brother's room when she saw a glow coming through the doorway. She looked in to investigate only to find Night playing some sort of game. She was about to leave when he said, "Tras get in here. I know you're snooping!"
"Gomen, nii-san. I was only wondering why there was a light on in the room."
"That's alright, little sis. I'm not angry at you. Or I won't be if you don't mention this to the old geezer and mom. Want to see what I'm playing?" asked Night.
"You bet! If that's okay with you, big brother…"
"Are you kidding? I need someone to play against in the game!" laughed Night, quietly.
It was after then that she and Night became closer. She shared his little secret and he protected her from their parents.
"Night, do you want me to tell them or do you want to?" asked Star.
"Sis, are you nuts?! I ain't telling anyone about that problem I have!" retorted Night nervously.
"What problem? What are you talking about Night?" asked Daiki and Kosuke in unison.
"I can't tell anyone, it's embarrassing enough!"
"Fine, if you're going to be stubborn, then I'll tell them!" growled Star.
"Fine, you win little sister…" grumbled Night.
"Well?"
"I don't enjoy killing real people, just the imaginary ones…"
