A/N: Hello, I have a picture of the cat on my YouTube account mentioned in my profile if you want a clearer picture of what Tsuki=Moon looks like. And as you might have noticed from the last sentence yes the back story behind him being afraid of cats has changed. I hope you like this chapter and will continue reading. Sorry I didn't update when I said I would, my internet hates me and it got fixed today, to make up for it though I decided to update an extra chapter for the day I missed.

Disclaimer: I do not own STARMYU just Tsugaru and later character that is not mentioned by name. What I mean by that is he is OC because he does not appear in the Anime and because he doesn't actually have a name.


Chapter Three: A Sad Truth

Yuta's POV

I heard a loud clang and something about my 'sub' duty for only a couple of days a week before I finally woke up. "So fancy, you can cook Toru?" I asked as I looked at the bentos on the table.

"It's delicious! You're a great cook" I said standing up and smiling at him, I looked at the time and realized I was going to be late for the cleaning session so I ran out forgetting my lunch in the process. "Hey Shu sorry" I said as I ran to the session, when I reached the session room I heard my name being called.

"My apologies for being late sir" I said as I stood in front of him and he nodded. I've realized a lot since I got here and I wasn't entirely happy with it because I need to work harder to please all of them.

I have yet to do so and they'll see my daily life as I go through it, they have for over two years now and I feel like I'm disappointing them despite knowing that I'm not. I have to get better and prove that I can be good for them even if I'm not great.

"Your lunch" I heard Toru say as he handed it to me and asked if I made it on time or not "yes and since I didn't eat breakfast…" I said plopping down on the ground and opening the box. "Why are spoiled kids so popular?" I asked aloud not expecting a response but got one anyway.

"I may say someone is spoiled but I don't mean anything except the truth when I say things to not harm someone who has high expectations" I said in response to Kaito's take on Kakeru.

"Kakeru!" I said as I walked up to his desk "here's the chart for cleaning duty, it's your turn next" I said as I placed it on his desk. "Treat me as an amateur all you want Kakeru but being a slave to someone who gets what they want from status is something I won't do" I said but picked up the pencil case regardless.

"I know I'm an amateur but I've been called way worse before I came here so you can call me as you see fit" I said smiling at him. "If he has problems, whether with me or not, he can do what he wants to me I don't mind" I told a worried Toru.

"Nothing he does to me or others will give him any results, that's what a child who has their future set has to learn eventually" I said seeing Kakeru's eyes widen. "You want me to quit and I don't mind doing that because even if we pass I won't be in Japan by the time this school year ends" I said making his eyes widen even more when I turned to leave.

When I walked down the halls to the practice room I heard my name being called "you aren't serious about quitting are you?" I heard Toru say and I smiled at him. "What I told the both of you is inevitable for me because just like him my future is set, we don't have the freedom to choose it" I said smiling at him.

"That's not true Toru, you can't believe many of the rumors because 75% of the rumors here are false" I said and I think he calmed down a little.

Shu's POV

I gave Toraishi info on his new girl as well as my keys before he told me something I now know is ture. "So… Yuta was correct" I said as I was going to walk inside.

Yuta's POV

The tension is thick it's making me uneasy, Itsuki explained how musicals work better when you're in sync which I had already known but it's hard to do so when your expectations are high. "Second out of 200 in Japan" I said under my breath when Kakeru asked an arrogant question.

*Running across the stage forever

The passion I give off in the moment

Thinking of the gorgeous night

Bloom proudly now, dazzling

You flowers of the world

Choosing the never-ending present

Carrying destiny

Make the gales of time your ally

Under the dark gray skies

Can't even harbor ambitions

You boors should just disappear

If the refined moon just past full is on the stage

Then the truth will live tucked away in my heart…

The context of thousands of dreams

The ephemerally shining shadows of stars

I'll live desperately in this transient world

Dyeing my heart crimson

You flowers of the world

"Good show even if almost half of it was a lie" I said smiling at him before Itsuki spoke up.

"We have to talk Kakeru!" I said knocing on his door again, when he finally came out I asked if someone was inside. "I know me being a part of your team will ruin your reputation but if I quit it will ruin mine, I can't let them think that of me" I said.

When he opened the door again I saw a cat jump on Kakeru's head, I was about to scream from the flickering cat but fell down instead scaring the cat anyway. "I apologize, I haven't seen a cat in over ten years" I said scared for Tavion when Kakeru explained his worries.

Because I was worried for Tavion and I felt regretful for what I had done I went to look for her as well. When I continued searching I heard singing and followed it to find Kakeru.

*I want to hold you in my arms

You are a cute angel

I miss you

I don't mind falling in love if this is what love is

Stay by my side forever*

I felt the fear of what happened to Tsuki through Kakeru's song and it drove me to try and find her despite the flickering image I see every time I see a cat. "I hate what I did to them, my irrational fear may cause the same result" I told Toru who was confused ny my word choice.

"I want to apologize for what I did, I'll do anything to fix it" I said bowing at Kakeru who asked what we were doing. "I'm glad you found her but I'm still terribly sorry for what I did" I said as I sat down on the swing.

"So why do you hate cats Yuta?" I heard Toru ask making me look at the drink Kakeru got us. "I don't hate cats" I said surprising them "my father got me a cat when I was younger, I had her for two years" I said remembering how she died.

"One day she disappeared, I saw her jump out my bedroom window and I tried following her but I lost her" I said feeling my eyes tear up. "When I did find her her stomach was torn open" I said causing Toru to gasp.

"I found out she had a bug that manifests in the stomach for three years before eating its way out" I said knowing I shouldn't be talking about this. "Ever since that day whenever I see a cat I see Tsuki's dead body instead" I said getting up and stretching like I never said anything.

"He does training everyday" I heard Toru say wiping away a tear "basic turns and steps, I'm terrible at consecutive" I said. "So cool Kakeru" I said as I saw him do multiple consecutive turns.

"That's the one thing I was taught for my legacy Kakeru" I said when he told me to face the crowd boldly. "What do you mean?" he asked me "I don't have the wings that you do, this school, is the one place my wings will take me" I said smiling at him.
