starlight's destiny | HIMEKO

act ten | the legendary silver crystal reveals itself

Jumping at the unexpected voice as he thought he was alone, the brown-haired male slammed Usagi into the wall before she could peer around the entrance.

"What are you doing here?!" His hand covered the blonde's mouth so that he could only hear her muffled words and haggard breaths.

"Why are you even- Ow!" The teen quickly silenced his yell as he held his right hand, "Why did you bite me?"

"I couldn't breathe!" The female hunched herself over to breath before leaning her back on the wall, "Why did you slam me into the wall like that for?"

"No, I asked first. Why are you even here? No one knows of this place, literally no one."

Usagi let out a curt breath while brushing her hair and clothes off before explaining. 

"Himeko ran off in such a rush before I could tell her we were going for ice cream before heading to Makoto's. Then I saw you go in the same direction as her, so I decided to follow you and that led us here."

The blonde-odango stood herself up to make her way to the gate, "So is my sister inside here or what—"

"Don't react to anything." Eisuke's hands moved to hover above Usagi's shoulder as he watched her peer into the park.

Immediately noticing the peaceful flowers, a hand clamped itself over her mouth before she gasp at the sight of her sister hugging Mamoru, her eyes wide as she was quickly pulled back. 

"What's he doing with her? I swear if he hurts her, I am going to--"

"Don't worry, my brother won't do anything to her." The blonde-odango suddenly froze with furrowed brows, "Your brother? But I didn't know you had a brother- wait, so that means she slept over with him too--"

"You never asked, and she was fine at our place. Just don't disturb them. It's kind of an intimate moment and don't want to bother the peace they have."

Nodding her head as she relaxed against the stone wall, Usagi spun a lock of hair around her finger as she took another peek at the two- both separated but sitting on the fountain's edge close together.

"Yes, Himeko did talk about him a lot, and yes, she also has a crush on him, but I never knew they were this close. Did you know they were this close?" The male shrugged his shoulders at the question.

"Mamoru talked about her too, but I kinda had a hunch that something was going on between them. Last night they got really close- and not in that way, but in a more deeper way, if you get what I mean."

Standing atop the stone wall that separated the whole town with the garden, Alora watched the pair on the fountain- taking in their large smiles and joyful laughs with a soft sigh. Pressing her lips together as she moved to jump off, the cat took one last glance before descending.

"Oh, my young Himeko is in love. The way her smile glows is just marvelous, but I fear for her. Heartbreak could result from this and seeing her heart shatter is the thing I would never wish upon her."

With a breath through her nostrils, copper cat travelled her way Makoto's apartment, her route in mind when she was suddenly grabbed into an alleyway. About to speak up at the one who grabbed her, her copper eyes landed on a pair of green eyes.

"It is nice to see you again, Alora." Artemis stepped away from the advisor, who's gaze hardened on him.

"Artemis, if I'm correct. Well, hello to you too. Wasn't that a nice way to greet someone for the first time?" The white cat kept the small smile on his face as he leaned his head side to side.

"I've made better greetings, but this one is just a small message." A brow quirked on the female cat's head as the white cat continued, "Your memories of the past were sealed away to reduce the burden you and Luna hold on your shoulders, but now everything will come out to light."
