I understand that I should be writing on "The Forgotten Melody", but right now I am just stuck. I'm not entirely sure what to write next in the story, so I'm going to concentrate on this one for a while. I think it would only take up ten-fifteen chapters MAX, but I could be wrong. I was never good at writing in particular, so I usually drag things in a long string.

Kuon's POV

I was running. I was running because I didn't want to hear Tina's cries. I was running because I didn't want to see Rick's body bleed any more than it did. And I was running... because there's this crazy girl that was chasing me!

"WAIT!" she cried out, catching up to me in no time. What, was she not human? "HEY! I SAID, WAIT!" She grabbed my shoulder, despite her short height, and dragged me down to her level. "Where do you think you are going?" she said threateningly.

"Away from you!" was my immediate reply. "Why did you just hug me suddenly?" I whipped around, shrugging off the hand that was gripping my shoulder before, and glared at her. "I could be a serial killer for all you know! I mean, look at me!" I let my hands drop. "There is blood on my clothes! I was at a site where there were unconscious people around! And... you saw someone was dying!"

She just stared. She heard my cries, but she didn't back away. She didn't apologize, and she didn't look scared. She just stood her ground.

Why was she still here? Did she not feel fear?

Finally, she spoke. "You needed someone to stop you. What would Rick say if you killed yourself, right after he risked his life for you?"

My eyes widened. "H-how do you know Rick?"

"I know more than you think I do. I have been watching over you."

...

"STALKER!" I immediately ran away from her, but once again, she caught up to me at the speed of light.

"What the... this wasn't the reaction I was hoping for..." Her fist rested at the bottom of her chin, as she mumbled. "I thought he would be happy that a star was looking over him."

"A st-star? WHAT?" I couldn't help shouting. What she was saying was ridiculous! "I don't even know you!"

"Oh. Well, not all stars have names. I'm one of the younger ones, so it's reasonable that you don't know mine."

"Huh?" A question mark bounced on my head repeatedly. "Not all stars have... what? You don't have a name? Then what kind of celebrity are you?"

"Celebrity?" She tilted her head cutely, definitely confused. "I just said I was a star. Where did you get the thought that I was a celebrity?"

"But you just-"

She continued. "Oh! Humans think of a star like that now? Oh my... no wonder you thought that!"

"H-huh?"

She then smiled brightly... literally! Her whole body glowed a deep red, sparkling her golden eyes and her night black hair. And... it was too bright!

"Turn it off, turn it off!" I shouted, blocking the bright rays with my hands. As I was squeezing my eyes shut, the slits from my eyes showed her dimming right down.

"Sorry. I guess humans can't look at light that's too bright for their eyes. I will try to remember that when I'm with you."

...

So once again, what do you think I shouted?

"STALKER!"

They were just sipping tea. It was late at night, with the meteor shower shooting across the skies. They ripped through the skies, giving their own light show. Julie squealed at the sight, and Kuu cooed at the sight of his love being so cute when she was happy. She just blushed the cutest blush you had ever seen!

But... there was someone missing in the picture. This was suppose to be a family get-together. So if there was the father and the mother, then the one that was missing was...

"HEY! I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STOP FOLLOWING ME?"

... their child, the son.

Kuu sighed again but was surprised to see the blood that was drying on his clothes. There was a lot of it, but Kuu knew his son would never use a knife. If his opponents didn't, then he followed the rule not to. So how was there so much blood? Just punching someone or kicking them can't make them bleed that much.

"Kuon... did you get into another fight? And... you didn't bring your enemies here, did you? And... hey! Why are you locking the door?" Kuu walked up, seeing his son frantically adjusting the lock. Locking it with a tight "click!", Kuon quickly turned around, back slamming onto the door, and with his whole body was pressed against it. Really odd behaviour...

"There's this stalker that was following me! She said she watched over me all my life!"

"Oh... Then that must be your aunt Sally. You never met her before, so I guess you would-"

"No! She's not my aunt! This girl is different! She's this weirdo that can glow bright colours and... and-!"

"Son..."

"I can't believe she suddenly told me she was a star. I mean... aren't stars made from gas and dust? Why would they suddenly-"

"SON!"

Kuon looked up. "Yes?"

"Kuon... before you get angry at me..."

"Yes?" Kuon stared at him. Just get to the point already!

"It's already too late." Kuu shook his head sadly, tsking as he looked at his son in the eye. "It really is already too late.

"Wh-what's already too late?"

"That girl you said was a stalker..." he trailed off.

"Yeah...?"

"Your mother let her inside. See?" He pointed at Julie's direction, and Kuon was gaping at her. How could she just let her in? And... the porch! He forgot to run and close the porch door! How could he be so stupid?

"MOM!" He ran up, and pushed his mother and the girl apart. "Don't get near this... freak!"

His cheeks were then pulled to the point they might stretch to circle the Earth. "Kuon... where are your manners? This kind girl is so cute! She says she's a little star that wants to help you!" Julie gushed. She blushed, clamping a hand on one of her reddened cheeks. "That is so adorable!"

"Mom... this girl just said she watched over me since I was little! That's stalking, right?"

"Well, not really. I only watched over you when you were outside. I can't see you when you're inside, since that's out of my viewing range," explained the girl. She straighten her navy blue dress, and nervously twirled her hair. "So there might be some things I don't know about you..."

"SEE! She is a stalker!" Kuon pointed at her, but was scolded for that.

"I told you not to point at people!"

"But she's not a person. She's some kind of-"

"Freak... yeah, you already said that." The girl continued to show her shy self, and mumbled. "I just said I was a star, and you call me a freak..." She then began to let quiet tears trickle her cheeks. But those also glowed! They were giving a white light, and a few pink diamonds were sparkling! "I'm a star, just like those in the sky." She, with her head down, pointed lamely at the sky outside.

"The... the sky?" Kuu came in, with oolong tea for all of them, and gave a filled cup to her, but she shook her head. "I can't drink."

"No, this isn't alcohol." It didn't look like it, did it? "It's just tea."

"No, I mean, I really can't drink it. And I don't eat." She shook her head, looking sad. "Stars don't eat or drink, so I don't either."

Kuon sighed exasperatedly. "Okay, is anyone here thinking this is a little odd? She keeps-"

"Why don't you just believe her, Kuon?" Julie calmly said, patting the girl's head. "You saw it. She glowed. Her tears glowed. Even with CG's, it's impossible to show all of that off screen, don't you think?"

His head dropped slowly in shame. "I guess..."

"And she even came down here during the meteor shower! Don't you think there's a reason?" Julie looked at her, and tried to give a good first impression. "I'm sorry, dear. It must be scary to see blood on my son, and for him to accuse you as a stalker."

"No, it's not scary." She shook her head. "Stars don't have blood, so seeing some on him doesn't scare me one bit." She looked up and down, and closed her eyes. "And it's normal for humans to find it abnormal to see me. Stars belong up in the sky, not on Earth."

"But you came anyway! And I'm so glad you did; you're so cute!" Julie immediately hugged her, cooing over the girl's cuteness.

But she stood still. She didn't blush, or smile. Being in the arms of someone was foreign, and she looked like was glaring at Julie! But she didn't talk. She looked confused, but stayed her ground. What frightened her the most was...

"I came to stop your son." She turned to glare at him instead. narrowing her eyes, she growled. "What were you thinking, trying to kill yourself?"

Kuu glanced at the girl. She said she didn't want to sleep inside, and rather wanted to be outside. She wanted to be near the stars any way she could. So he suggested her to sleep in the hamper. However, in the midst of confusion, he forgot to give her a blanket. He told his son to grab one for her, but he looked reluctant to do so.

"Kuon... she saved you. I understand why you would do that, but Rick saved you as well. It would go in vain if you died also."

"But... I..."

"Not another word." Kuu held up a hand, in the form of saying "stop", and smiled. "I understand your issue, and why you get bullied, and I'm sorry. But please don't do anything rash like that again. Please."

Not a word... Of course he couldn't go up against his father. "Yes, father..." He dipped his head, practically seeing his mistakes. If he died, right after Rick tried to save him, then what was the point? What was the point of saving him if he killed himself?.! Rick would be so ashamed...

And that girl...—Kuon looked out the window, where the hamper rocked silently—... opened his eyes. She cleared his mind before he did something stupid that might have upsetted Rick.

If he had listened to Tina... if that girl didn't come in time... what would have happened?

Folding the blanket, he walked out, and shivered a tad bit. How could she sleep like a rock?

Then again... aren't stars at a thousand to a hundred thousands of degrees? And space is cold to begin with, so maybe being outside here doesn't bother her.

As he came up to her, he heard her mumbling. A little close up of her, he got a glimpse of her angelic form. She gave light breaths in and out, inhaling and exhaling, and she glowed quietly. Although the Hizuris lived far apart from their neighbours, she said she didn't want to cause any trouble, so she wouldn't glow as brightly as she normally would.

That would be too frightening, as there would be this weird light from our house. Kuon thought, dipping the hamper slightly as he sat down on it, and swished a warm blanket on top of her. As the blanket settled to cover her whole body, she glowed even more. More redder than ever, and she even smiled.

Turning over, she yawned. "Wh-what?" she mumbled, feeling a little groggy. "Who's there?" she whispered. She rubbed her eyes.

"Me." Kuon said. He patted the blanket and sighed. "My father thought it wasn't fair for you to sleep outside, so he told me to bring a blanket for... you know. Just in case you were cold."

"Oh." She finally stood upright, shaking her head to wake up up. She was now clearly awake. "It's okay. I don't want to bother you than I already have. I interfered you, and you must still be ma-"

"No... I'm not mad. I'm glad that you stopped me. I would have upsetted Rick, just like you said. I wasn't thinking clearly at the time, so of course I needed someone to slap me back to my senses." He smiled at her, for the first time, and bowed his head. "Thank you."

Surprised, she smiled back. It was warm, and he almost wished it lasted. Her smiles were bright, just as suspected, but they didn't blind him. She toned it down to the point where it would just melt him to grin some more.

Slowly closing her eyes, she said, "Say thank you."

Kuon lifted a curious eyebrow at that statement. "I already did."

"No, say thank you to Rick." She looked at him straight in the eye. "Instead of saying you're sorry or good bye, say thank you. So he doesn't worry so much. So he doesn't have to linger on Earth, trying to stop you from blaming yourself."

Say... thank you? To Rick?

But he did what she told him to, and he did it with a smile. Jumping off the hamper, letting it swing a little, he cried out to the showering sky, "THANK YOU, RICK!" And for an effect, he cupped his cheeks to spread his word. Waving up in the sky, he grinned. "Please... watch over me. Watch over Tina. And..." He looked over at the girl who was looking at the meteor showers. Thank you. If it hadn't been for you, I would have never met this girl.

"Good! Rick has safely made it to Hades! Oh, Zeus will be happy to know this!" She clapped, and tucked herself in. "Hades, oh God of the Underworld, allow the entrance of Rick Travis."

Her whole body levitated, bobbing up and down. The blanket fell onto the hamper, and Kuon gaped at the sight. She was curled, but when she straighten herself, lifting her arms up, she glowed even more. She hummed, saying another language, and two orbs danced peacefully around her. They zipped around her dress, and over her head to her bare feet. They were the colour of gold, the same colour as her magnificent eyes.

That rare colour...

"Let him be able to communicate with his loved ones, never chaining him underground! Let him be able to roam around the Earth until he has done his duties. Until he has finished something that he couldn't do when he was alive!" she boomed. At that, the meteor shower faded. "Hades?"

She looked up into the starless skies, and sighed in relief. "Thank you. Best wishes to Persephone also. I'm sure she is loving you every day now, as you aren't as scary as she thought you were."

"Well?" Kuon asked. "Is Rick's spirit... rested?"

She smiled. "He's at the Underworld." She paused as she laughed at Kuon's surprised face. "It's not as bad as you think. It's not like the Heaven that Christians believe in, but it can't be helped. You have to face reality, and after you die, you go to the Underworld, not some happy place where you can bounce on the clouds."

Nodding, Kuon asked, "Will he... like it there?"

"Yes. He will. And he is free to visit you or Tina any time he wants to."

Kuon sighed again, happy to hear it. "Thank you... hey!" Kuon gasped. "You never gave me your name!"

"I don't have one. I already told you that." She fell onto the hamper, swinging it violently, and soon covered herself with the blanket. "I'm one of those stars that wasn't named since I wasn't found at the time. There are too many stars to begin with. It's impossible to name them all, especially since they're forming each day."

"Then... can I name you?"

At the sound of that, she came out of her blanket cave. He saw her gaped expression. "You... you would?"

"Hey, it's the least I could do. You helped me a lot today. Let's see..." He came closer to her, looking at her closely. "Hmm... you actually look like you could be Japanese to humans. So would Kyoko do? It means Tokyo's child in Japanese."

"K-Kyoko." She blushed and nodded. "That sound lovely. And my last name? All humans have last names, right?"

"Mogami. It means on top. And you're from up there..." He pointed up. "So I guess it fits, right?"

"My name is... Kyoko Mogami?" She brightened right up, shining. Her warmth hugged him kindly, and he laughed.

"So... you like it?"

"I love it!"

Zeus- God of gods

Hades- God of the Underworld/Dead

Persephone- Goddess of the Harvest (She can also be known the Goddess of the Underworld because Hades forced her to be his wife)

Forgive me with the major OCCness that might occur in this story. I'm trying my best to imagine Kuon as a 15 year old, and I seriously doubt he would have the same personality as Ren since they're two different characters.

And for Kyoko's name, I'm using the Kyoko from her stage name. I can't read Japanese, so I have no idea the meaning of her actual name.
