During the New Year day and festival Luna, Moon, and Yuki had to participate in the new year dance, as Luna practiced her Kagura dance Yuki and Moon helped set up the whole place and stage. Little by little the work was finally done with the preparations as some people made their stands for their food, masks, toys and so much more they couldn't wait. The sun began to set as everybody dressed in their kimono's began traveling up the steps to the Sakura Temple where thousands of cherry blossoms call home and a very scared place for the Hotohori family. "Lady Luna the day you were born was the day of the cherry blossom festival late at night." The elderly shrine maiden said. "Yes i have been told the story of my birth time after time from you Tamiko-sama."

"You were born the day of Feburary 14 1997. Lady Yuki and Lady Moon were born the day of Feburary 15 1997 just 2 minuets after you were born Lady Luna. Yet you three are triplets, oh how your mother loved you three and yet you are still considered the eldest." "Lady Tamiko." "They day draws near to an end Luna, come let us get you changed and practice one more time before your dance begins." "Yes Lady Tamiko." Luna said as she bowed to her sensai and walked with her to the back room to change. Outside the temple Moon and Yuki were enjoying their time with their friends and boyfriend before they had to perform the lion dance after some time they had to return back to the temple and perform.

It was now 8pm and time to start the performance, the first few performances were for entertainment. It was now 8:30 Moon and Yuki were now going onto the stage for an hour long dance performance then after that it was Luna's turn to do her Kagura dance till 10 beginning at 9. After the lion dance the main event began, the drums beating the moon rising high in the sky shining it's rays of light upon the stage and Luna as she danced, her bells jingling. It was now 10pm and her dance was finally completed bowing she heard clapping and cheering as people through flowers onto the stage and some threw bouquets as well. Getting off the stage Luna sat down relaxing her body while she looked up at the moon, after awhile she got up and changed into her regular clothes.

Arriving home the preparations were already for the party and so was the food all they had to do was change into their new years clothes and do their hair and face. Changing into their beautiful and sexy clothes they went down stairs to greet their guests. Yuki wore a sexy red romper with black heels not so high though. Moon wore a beautiful knee high aqua dress tight around her chest area then flowed beautifully down with white heels also not to so high. Luna wore a beautiful and sexy black dress hugging her waist and upper body not so tight but just enough. A triangle cut in the front to high though and goes down lovely and beautifully with nude heals.

Having a blast eating new years cakes and much more they ate their fill as the night soon came to an end most of their friends leaving except for Nagato and the gang who stayed to sleep over. In Yuki's room on the balcony Yuki and Zetsu stood and waited for the fireworks show. "Happy new year Zetsu." "Happy new year Yuki. Yuki its been 7 months since we started dating and i couldnt be more happy. I love you Yuki so much that saying these words cant describe what we feel for you." "Zetsu, i love you too and i want to spend the rest of my days with you." "Yuki have you ever kissed anybody before." "No have you." "Yes. That person is you." Zetsu said cupping her cheek and kissing her deeply and passionatly as the fireworks going off.

Further down where the lake was Kisame and Moon were watching the fireworks go off the lake reflecting them. "Moon i love you." "Kisame. I love you too." Moon said smiling. Looking into each other's eyes they slowly leaned in closing their eyes inch by inch their lips finally connected in a passionate kiss.

Inside the house by the fireplace Kakuzu and Luna sat on the couch enjoying each other's company. Taking his jacket off and sharing it with Luna so she could become warmer. "Happy new year Kakuzu." "Happy new year Luna." "May this year be as memorable as last year." "May this year be something memorable to you." Kakuzu said as he looked Luna in the eye lost in them not noticing that he was leaning forward."K-Ka-Kakuzu what are you doing." Luna said placing her hands on his chest. "I just want to enjoy this time with you right now Luna, that's all." Kakuzu said their foreheads connecting. Luna could feel his breathe on her lips as she closed her eyes and just simply relaxed and enjoyed her time with him.

'Why are you making my feelings for you hurt so much. Make them settle please, make them settle. When i think of you, talk to you, i begin to miss you and i just want to see and be with you. Can you be my spring?' She thought to herself clenching her fists into his shirt, feeling the tightness on his shirt he opened his eyes. Meeting her red and brown eyes it was like she was pleading for something wanting to know something. "Luna are you ok." "Huh oh umm yes im fine." Luna said getting back to herself and blushing like crazy again as she hid her face 'Luna, these feelings are to strong to be wrong.' 'Kakuzu i wonder if you know.' The night coming to an end they all slept in the living room the couples together and the rest formed a little circle.
