It was morning, day one before the big cruise. Everyone was happy except for the one we all know and love called Mitsuru. He was even more pissed than usual. Beep! Beep! Beep! Why do alarm clocks have to ring and ruin the day before they even start? That is one question that won't soon be answered.

Mitsuru smashed the alarm clock and watched it crumble to bits. A grin formed on his face as he watch the once alarm clock pieces fall to the ground. Well…at least he got to smash something right?

'Well I got to smash something, maybe today won't be so bad after all.' Mitsuru thought as his feet touched the cold floor. Why do floors have to ruin the day even more?

"Akira get off of me!" Nozomu yelled at the werewolf who tackled him the minute no, second he got up. "But its fun…" Akira complained. Mitsuru laughed to himself imagining Nozomu 's face. Even though they were his friends, they were stupid sometimes. Mitsuru walked downstairs and was actually early for something.

WHAT WAS MITSURU EARLY FOR? FIND OUT IN THE NEXT CHAPTER OF THE CRUISE. TILL THEN, TUNE IN.

JUST KIDDING…

0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o00o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o00o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o00o0o0

It was Monday morning and Mahiru got up early for school as usual and ending up late anyways. Misoka had gone out to who knows where and Oboro had gone with her. It was the last week of school before summer break started for the high schoolers and it already began for elementary school students. This was pure torture for poor Mitsuru. All that laughing and smiling. Couples taking long walks on the beach. Damn, they disgusted him with their hand holding and talking about how much they loved each other. Ugh!

Mitsuru had to make himself a coffee which he wouldn't be able to resist to get all those thoughts out of his head. He opened the fridge and relised that Mahiru had forgotten her lunch…once again. Nozomu was in the shower and he usually dropped it off and Akira couldn't be trusted with food so he would have to drop it off himself.

He put on some clothes in no hurry. Just a black T- shirt that said Bite Me! And some black jean caprice. Nothing special. (who where's a black t-shirt in 30 degrees weather? Apparently Mitsuru does.) He got into the moonshine and didn't care if he didn't have a licence or not. He wasn't planning on speeding like Nozomu does anyway. That's where all the money gets lost. Soon he wouldn't even have a license. Mitsuru took his time making sure it took as long as possible. 15 minutes would soon turn into 45 minutes the way he was driving. At least he didn't get a ticket.

When he FINALLY Mahiru 's school, it was lunchtime. Perfect. All the students had gathered outside to enjoy the summer weather. Mahiru was talking to some guy with her friends pulling on his arm. Mitsuru was shocked. He didn't know she had guy friends! Now Mitsuru was jealous. He stomped over to where her and her friends were laughing. How could she not tell him that she had a boyfriend?

"Mahiru!" Mitsuru yelled still walking over to her and her new 'friend'.

"Hi Mitsuru. Want to meet my new friend? He's from CanCun!"

"I just came to give you your lunch because you forgot it again!"

"Olla! My name is Emilio!" the boy said holding out his hand to shake. Mitsuru just slapped it away, gave Mahiru her lunch and mumbled something under his breath which seemed like Why didn't she tell me?

"What's with him?" one of Mahiru 's friends asked. She just shrugged and started eating her lunch thankful that he had dropped it off. She forgot to eat breakfast that morning. She was secretly wondering why he was so pissed. Mahiru shrugged the thought off and laughed with Emilio some more. He was quiet, but funny.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

When Mahiru got home, no one was there. "Hello?" 'Seems like no one is here…guess I have the place to myself. Mahiru went up to her room and almost had a heart attack.

"Mitsuru! What are you doing in here? You scared me half to death!"

"I'll be asking you the same thing, Mahiru." he said her name with venom.

"Well…I am here because I live here and where else would I be at 5:00?" she asked putting her stuff down on her bed sitting down next to Mitsuru.

"Aren't you going out with your Boyfriend, Emilio! I saw you too! You were holding his hand and laughing with him. What the hell was that about huh?"

"Oh… Emilio is new to the school. Like I said before, he just moved here from Mexico. I was just showing him around."

"So why were you holding his hand and acting like he was your boyfriend then?" Mitsuru said narrowing his eyes at her.

"I was pulling on his hand because he wouldn't come when I was trying to bring him to the cafeteria. He was looking at a group of girls waving at him." Mahiru stopped for a second. "Were you jealous…" she said now narrowing her eyes at him.

Mitsuru blushed. He didn't know. Maybe if he had stayed a little longer instead of storming off he wouldn't be in this situation. "NO!" he yelled a bit too quickly.

"You were weren't you." Mahiru said surprised "You don't have to be jealous of me. I thought you could care less."

"I couldn't care less about your private life! Especially your love life!" He went downstairs the same way he left her at school.

0o0o0oo00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

'How could I let my emotions run loose? Especially right in front of her. The least I could've done is talk to Nozomu.'

'Yeah. The least you could've done is talk to Nozomu. You know he would tell Misoka and then she would come back to your conscience.'

'Are you sure you are not her. How do I know that she didn't just tap into me.'

"Because she doesn't know that you went to Mahiru 's school today.'

'Good point.' Mitsuru was at the bar just cleaning some glasses trying to get his mind off that day's events. The bar was going to open in an hour and Mitsuru was wandering where everyone was. It wasn't like them to be late. Oh well for them. The night off for him. He needed air anyway.

0o0o0o0o0o0oo00oo00o0oo0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo00oo00o0o0o0o0o0o0o

"Where are we Nozomu?" Akira asked seeing as they had been on the road for an hour now. Nozomu shrugged and kept his eyes on the road. "Nozomu…the bar is going to open in an hour. Don't you think it would be a good idea to pull over and ask for some directions?" Misoka asked.

"A man never asks for directions! We are naturally inclined with a sense of direction!" Nozomu fought back defensively. "What do you know anyway Akira!"

"Well…for one fact, we should be going north right now and we are going east. You should know Nozomu. You are a vampire and how do you guide your bat?" Nozomu blushed and did a U turn. "Plus. We do have an electronic guide." Misoka added.

Nozomu went to a brief stop. "When did that get there!" He was shocked. He never knew there was an electronic guide in the Moonshine. "Would anyone care to explain when that got here."

"Its been here the whole time, Nozomu. How come you never noticed it?" Akira asked.

"How come you never told me!"

0o0o0o0o0oo00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo00o0o0oo0oo0o0o0o0oo00o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o00o

Mitsuru was walking in the park where he had first tried to kill Mahiru. Memories came back to him. He had hated her with all his heart back then. Now he was questioning that feeling. Mahiru had a thing about her that made people like her in a special way. A kind of way that just makes you happy when you are around her. Or was it just him?

Mitsuru sat on a bench and thought about this. He thought about how he felt about her and if it was fate when they met. All these thoughts were making him tired and he soon fell asleep.

About half an hour later, Mahiru came out looking for him. Nozomu, Akira and Misoka had finally made it home and he was the only one not there. She was worried so she set off to the park thinking, no, knowing he would be there. As she walked around occasionally calling out for him, She thought about when he had come up behind her and cut off her air. Did he really want to kill her, or was he scared that she might turn on him and kill him? All theses thoughts were giving her a headache.

Just as she was about o give up, she looked at one more bench and sure enough, there he was! 'Is he sleeping?' Mahiru thought walking over to his sleeping figure. She realized that he was in fact sleeping. Mahiru tugged on his shirt. It was getting cold outside and he was still in the t-shirt from earlier.

"Mitsuru. Mitsuru?" Now she was literally pulling him off the bench. Her hands slipped and he fell on the ground. Now he was up.

"Where am I?" Was his first question. "Its freezing out here!" was the next thing he said "What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Now Mitsuru was awake and alert and pulling Mahiru along. They got home a little after 9 and everyone asked what happened. They explained, not the part about upstairs and then went to bed.

Sorry for the shorter chapter. I want to write at least once more before school starts in two days. My schedule will be back to normal. Soccer Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and art class on the same day plus I see my big sister on Sundays. I will write when I get the chance and not until I see 10 reviews or more on the review chart! I looked at this stories stats and I have 81 hits added to 2 favourites and 3 story alerts. And these people don't even review! I have got o play my game cube one more time before school and get reviews. By the way, Emilio is a guy at my school and everyone including my friends think he is my boyfriend! I showed him around the school we hang out a lot and I almost had to hold his hand one time! He is from CanCun and can speak English really well. Once again, sorry for the short chapter but it is like 11:00 and I need to play my game cube till 3 in the morning or I will be frustrated. Read my story, review it and don't get me pissed and stay tuned I will write as soon as possible!
