A/N: And here is the sixth chapter! Woo!
I beg you to please review. Seriously, reviews somehow give me the inspiration and devotion to type more chapters and stuff!
After Luna's little performance two days ago, the group decided it would be best not to let her in on any X eggs so that she didn't stress the surgery she just had. She was currently in her room , making sure her door was locked. She walked over to a mirror and looked over her outfit for the day. She wore a pair of dark blue skinny jeans with a Silver stud pyramid belt, a black corest, black leather fingerless gloves, her normal choker, laced up combat boots, and her normal spider hair pin. She grabbed her black mini back pack, and carefully stuffed her guardian eggs, wallet, phone, a notebook, and a pen in. She walked over to her bookcase, and pushed it in front if her door just to be on the safe side.
She then walked out to her balcony, closed the door, and jumped over the edge and landing perfectly on her feet.
"Wow! Cute girls falling from the sky!"
She stood up rather gracefully, tossing her hair behind her back, spotting Ikuto and two boys that seemed his age. What caught her attention even more is that they were all wearing the same high school uniform. "Ikuto, you're in highschool?" Luna said, walking over to them.
The two other boys practically dropped to the floor. "Of course Ikuto would know her..." they both mumbled.
Ikuto gave a sigh, then placed a hand on Luna's shoulder. "What are you doing out? Shouldn't you be in bed?" he said. She slapped his hand away as her eyes narrowed to a glare.
"You have a thing for not answering my questions, don't you?" she muttered. He smirked, then glanced over at the two boys behind him. They instantly got the message and walked off in the other direction.
Somehow the two ended up at an ice cream cart with Ikuto paying. She licked her vanilla ice cream while Ikuto studied her, occasionally licking his own. "Exactly what are you looking at?" she said with a sigh. He gave a smile, inching closer.
"Your face. You're pretty cute you know." he said with his sly tone. "Where were you off to today anyway?" he then asked.
Her heart skipped a beat and she looked over at him with a glare. "If you must know...I had some errands I needed to run." she said.
"What kind of errands?" he asked.
"That's none of your business!" she said. Suddenly he placed a hand on her stomach, and she looked down.
"I'm worried that you'll open the stitches from your surgery." he whispered. For that moment, gazing into each others eyes, Ikuto didn't seem like such a bad guy. Maybe it was the uniform, but he actually looked pretty cute to Luna today.
He removed his hand from her stomach, and placed in on her cheek, gently stroking her soft skin with his thumb. "I'm aware I should stay away from you for your sake, so why am I here..." he whispered.
"Ikuto... Your hands are really cold." she whispered. He immediately pulled away and smiled.
"Sorry about that." he said. Luna shook her head and gave a smile, a genuine, sweet smile she hadn't given in a long time. Ikuto's eyes slightly widened as he felt his heart tighten. He quickly looked away, clutching his hands into fists.
"Is something wrong." she asked. He merely shook his head, keeping his gaze off of her so she couldn't see his red face.
"Yo Ikuto!"
Both Luna and Ikuto looked up to see three other guys in high school uniforms running up to them. Once they reached the two, the seemed to focus more on Luna. "Whoa man Ikuto, is this your girlfriend? I can see why you completely ignore all the girls at school now!" one of them said. Luna looked over at Ikuto curiously, wondering why he didn't completely ignore her...even though he did ignore her questions.
"As a matter of fact..." Ikuto muttered, gently grabbing her free hand. "She is. This is Luna." he finished. Luna glanced over at him, and when she noticed his usual smirk, she decided to play along.
"Hello..." she said, now looking up at the two and taking a lick of her ice cream.
"SHE'S SO CUTE!" they exclaimed, separating the two so they could crowd around her. So many questions were thrown at her, she didn't know where to begin, but instead of her having to answer any of them Ikuto pulled her out of the group.
"Her name is Luna Nakil...that's all you need to know." Ikuto muttered, holding her hand yet again. Luna didn't seem to react to all the attention, and they seemed to leave it be for now.
"Hey we were on our way to the shops, did you guys want to tag along?" one of the guys asked. Ikuto looked over at Luna, and awaited her answer. After awhile, she shrugged and gave a nod. Suddenly something caught her attention, and she turned to see a crying little boy. Her eyes narrowed as she looked up to see a blue balloon flying away. Oh how classic...
She stuffed the last bit of ice cream in her mouth, jumped on the bench they were once sitting on, quickly climbed in a tree, jumped, and grabbed the balloon by it's string before it got to far. After she was firmly on the ground, she handed the balloon to the boy and gave a smile. He instantly stopped crying and his mother thanked her.
"It was no problem." she said in a smooth voice, before standing up straight, and waving at the boy before she walked back over to the group of guys.
"So you do have some sort of sweet and innocent side." Ikuto said. Luna stuffed her hands in the back pockets of her jeans and glanced over at the boy who was walking away with his mom.
"He reminded me of my brother." she whispered, before looking back at them.
"So...cute.." the group of guys beside Ikuto whispered. Luna flicked the hair from her eyes and sighed.
"Should we go now?" she asked. They all nodded, and they were on their way. On the way to the shops, she learned the names of the three boys were Hiru, Hiteki, and Toshiro.
Ikuto was very protective of Luna while they were on the train. He stood directly beside her, holding her hand and looking off with that same distant yet harsh stare he sometimes had. When off of the train, Ikuto continued to hold her hand as they walked down the street. She figured it was only because of the joke they were pulling, and nothing else. Hiru and Hiteki decided to go to a bookstore first, and Luna didn't mind at all considering she wanted to go there anyway. Toshiro seemed to go off on his own, but soon came back holding up a poster.
"I knew your name sounded familiar! Your girlfriend Ikuto is Miss Nakil. The Luna Novina Nakil!" he exclaimed. Ikuto studied the poster, mostly looking at the picture of Luna sitting on a piano in some fancy dress.
"Please put that down...you'll cause a fuss." Luna said calmly, carrying a stack of books over in her hands. Toshiro slowly brought the poster down, and blushed.
"It's fine. I'm just used to going out and not having much trouble...I don't like to be known." she said then walked off to purchase the books she was carrying.
"Who is she..." Hiru whispered.
"Luna is a girl, can't we leave it at that?" Ikuto asked, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"But not just any girl Ikuto! She's a prodigy! She's like the most talented girl ever!" Toshiro said, "not to mention she's a model, her dad was a famous painter, and her mother is an author."
"Not to mention my brother is also extremely intelligent. Would you like to know my birthday and clothing size as well.?" Luna said, saying the last part rather sarcastically. The group all blushed but Ikuto, and Leilani merely smirked.
"Look, I'm a prodigy. Big deal...Lots of kids these days are." she said with a shrug.
"That fact that you're a prodigy isn't what's freaking Toshiro out. It's the fact that you're so cute!" Hiru said, nudging Toshiro. He pushed him in return and Luna couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Soon enough they all left and visited other shops. Luna surprisingly got a lot of shopping done even with four guys. They found themselves all on the bus again, heading back around sun down. Ikuto wasn't holding her hand this time, but she didn't really mind. The train came to a sudden holt and Luna fell into Ikuto. He held her up, looking down at her with a smirk.
"You two haven't kissed all day, some couple you are!" Hiteki joked. Luna and Ikuto looked at each other, and just when he moved closer to kiss her, she placed her hand over his mouth.
"I caught Ikuto being a bit too smooth with a really cute girl earlier. I'm still not over it." she said, looking over at the three guys. Of course they believed her instantly.
"So has Ikuto asked you to the October festival yet Luna?" Toshiro asked. Luna's eyes slightly widened, and she looked up at Ikuto.
"October festival?" she asked rather softly.
Ikuto had a smooth smirk on his face as he placed his arms around her well proportioned body. "Would you like to go?" he asked. She was going to answer when suddenly the train came to a halt and they had to get off for their stop. The guys all walked her home, and along the way they Hiru, Hiteki, and Toshiro exchanged numbers with Luna.
Once outside of her house, she climbed the wall and then jumped to get balcony, pulling herself over the ledge. "Bye..." she said, giving a small wave before going inside of her room. She set all the books she bought on her bookshelf, and decided to leave all the other stuff she bought for tomorrow.
Lei and Sini cuddled into her pillow, while Luna crawled under the pillow. Nura on the other hand, spent the night looking out the window and casually glancing over at the sleeping Luna with a sympathetic look.
"Luna..." she whispered, tears collecting in her eyes. "You're so strong..."
