A/N: Here's the seventh chapter! Please Review and all that please!
"Hello, Luna Nakil speaking." Luna answered her phone in a rather monotone way. She listened to the low voice on the other line and her eyes widened. She dropped the phone, grabbed her bag and ran out to her balcony. Once again, she jumped over the ledge and landed perfectly on her feet.
"Ikuto, isn't that your.."
She cut them short when she looked over at the group of boys. Once again Ikuto was standing there rather aloof. He walked over to her, looking down. He didn't smile at all and for a moment it worried her. As she stared her eyes began to water and she quickly turned away and ran off.
The guys looked at Ikuto, then at each other. "Uh, did you brake up with her or something?" Hiru asked. Ikuto glared at them all and they began to back away. Without a word he took off after her.
"Luna, what's wrong? What's the rush?" Lei asked trying to keep up with her running pace.
"It's Eric...I know where he is." she said, speeding up with even more determination. Before she knew it she found herself at the abandoned warehouse she was directed to go to.
"Luna...this doesn't look so safe." Lei whispered.
Luna looked up at the tall, dark building as her eyes narrowed to a glare. "We don't have a choice..." she muttered, walking in. The place was practically pitch black. Luna calmly walked through the abandoned building, finding an old staircase. Very carefully, she walked up the creaky wooden stairs. Once to the top, she spotted creepy weird looking dolls all over the place. They were broken and everything seemed a bit too creepy.
"Luna..."
She turned to see Ikuto with his hands stuffed in his pockets and Yoru on his shoulder. "What are you doing here." he muttered.
"My brother...He's here somewhere." she said. She watched as Ikuto suddenly became tense. She slowly turned around just in time to see an old doll with glowing eyes hovering above her. Just as she was about to be attacked. Ikuto slashed the doll into pieces. She looked back over at him, seeing a doll behind him as well.
Without thinking, she tackled him down just before the attack hit. "Ikuto...you should leave.." she whispered then noticed his cat ears. She glanced down and saw that he had made a full character transformation.
"I'm not leaving you here." he said. She looked at him curiously, then gave a small smile.
"Thank you...Ikuto..." she whispered once more before she got up. She wasted no time to make a character transformation with Sini. Ikuto couldn't help but stare at her for just a moment.
"Eric!" Luna yelled. Just then a loud obnoxious female laughter was heard. Ikuto stood right next to Luna in a protective manner. The laughter was heard again and suddenly the ground began to shake.
"ERIC!" She yelled again and then suddenly it all stopped. Everything got extremely quiet and the air seemed thick. Ikuto gripped Luna's hand and gave her a squeeze for confidence.
She closed her eyes for a moment, took in a deep breath and began to sing softly. The song was a bit too soft for Ikuto to hear, but something about her seemed to change when she sang it.
"Luna!"
Her eyes widened, and she let go of Ikuto's hand. She ran off into utter darkness. Before Ikuto had the chance to go after her, she was thrown back by something unknown. Ikuto caught her, helping her standing on her feet once again.
"What was that..." she whispered, rubbing her head. Ikuto looked out with a glare, then suddenly pulled her away.
"Don't look back, Luna..." he said while running. He dragged her back downstairs and when she finally realized he was dragging her out, she pulled her hand away.
"Ikuto my brother is-"
"Looking for this." an annoying female voice spoke up. Luna turned around to see an older woman with bright red hair and blue eyes standing next to a boy.
"Eric!" Luna yelled, being held back by Ikuto. She fought her hardest as tears started to stream down her face. "Eric! It's me! It's your sister!" she yelled again.
"He can't hear you, loser. He's completely under my control." the lady said giving that ugly laugh they heard earlier.
"You old hag what did you do!" she screamed.
"Old? Why you little bitch..." she muttered.
"Do you really want to discuss who's the bitch? You stole my brother from me. You stole my life you freak!" she said.
"Luna...let's go..." Ikuto whispered.
"I can't just leave!" she said. It seemed as if he didn't understand the pain. How long she waited for news on her brother.
"Luna, trust me! She only wants you...you do anything now and she'll steal you! From your group...from Kukai...from me!" he said.
At that moment she felt like reality came to a stop. She knew Ikuto well enough to know he shouldn't be expressing such fondness toward her, so why was he?
"Ikuto...stop! I know you dont like me so just stop it!" she said, then looked at her brother. His eyes were glowing the same color all those dolls had been. She then glared at the woman next to him, and raised her hand. Just when she was going to attack, Ikuto gripped her hand and picked her up.
"You foolish girl..." he whispered. She changed back to her normal self, clinging to him.
He finally set her down at a park, changing back to his normal self as well. "Ikuto...I'm sorry." she whispered. He didn't say a word. He only pulled her into his embrace, and let her knew he was there for her.
"What am I to you..." he whispered.
She took a step back, covering her beating heart with her hand. "What...are.. You?" she whispered, eyes gazing into his. "Why ask such a question. Ikuto...I am nothing, so please...don't act like you like me. No one could ever like me."
Before he could respond, she gave a small smile and ran off. She had no idea where she was running, and when it started raining she took cover in a cafe. She made her way to the bathroom, making sure to lock the door behind her. How cliche, finding herself in a public bathroom while a storm kicked in. She didn't even have her phone to contact anyone.
"Eric..." she whispered, starring into the mirror over the sink. The more she stared, the more she hated herself. Pretty soon, she grew so irritated, she pulled a fist back and punched the mirror, completely shattering it. Her hand began to bleed in several places, and Lei and Sini stared at her with worried eyes.
She ran out of the Cafe, into the rain and wandered off to Kukai's house. When there, she knocked on the door with her uninjured hand. Soon enough, Kukai answered the door and seemed shocked to see her.
"Luna, it's late, and it's raining. What are you doing here?" he asked. She wasted no time wrapping her arms around him.
"Kukai i need you..." she whispered. At first he was so shocked that he didn't know what to do with his hands. Soon enough, he wrapped his arms around her in a protective manner. He then closed the door, examined her, and it was then when he noticed her bleeding hand.
"Luna, what is this?what happened?" he asked, gently taking her over to a bathroom. He turned the faucet on, then gently took off her bracelets on that arm. He began to gently pull pieces of glass out her hand, and sighed.
"I punched a mirror." she said softly, looking down at the floor.
"Why?" he asked, running water over her hand.
"I didn't want to see my reflection.." she whispered.
Kukai looked up at her for a moment, then started to bandage her hand. It was then he noticed the scars across her arm where her bracelets had been. He ran his fingers over them, and then looked up at Luna. She nervously pulled her hand away, and just stood there as her hair and clothes began to drip.
"Let me um..get you some clothes and a towel." he said, walking out of the bathroom. She placed her bracelets back on her arm, and stared at her bandaged hand.
"Here, sorry if the clothes are a bit big. They're mine." he said. All she could do was nod, and then he closed the door so she could change. After taking off her clothes, she began to dry her hair with the towel. She then slipped on the green pajama pants and the black t-shirt he gave her. After, she walked out and saw Kukai leaning against the wall.
"Come on, let's go in my room and talk." he whispered, taking her uninjured hand and walked to his room. His room was nice.
She sat on the edge of his bed, and looked up at him. He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. The direction and pattern of those scars were to perfect to be accidents, and it bothered him.
"Luna I-"
"Kukai...please." she whispered, now laying down on his bed, get bright eyes looking up at him. He sat down next to her, and held her hand.
They sat in silence for awhile, but soon Lei came over and pushed Kukai. He looked at her as she wrapped her arms around her body as if trying to tell him to hold Luna. He took that suggestion, laying down next to her and wrapping his arm around. She positioned herself so that she laid her head on his chest.
"Kukai...I don't want to be alone." she whispered, still holding his hand.
"You won't ever be alone Luna, I'll be here." he whispered back.
Meanwhile Daichi, Lei, and Sini sat in a corner communicating with each other.
"I think Ikuto is better for Luna.." Sini whispered.
"But Kukai really likes Luna..." Daichi whispered back.
"I do like Kukai more." Lei whispered.
The three looked over at the couple and sighed. "We should just leave it up to them." Daichi whispered and they agreed.
The two talked for awhile, but soon Luna fell asleep. Kukai gently brush the stray locks of hair from her face and smiled.
"Goodnight..." he whispered, taking a glance at her injured hand before falling asleep himself.
