Moonlight's P.O.V
I stayed awake all night, along with my brother. We lived in a small, but comfortable, house in Jamanakai. Me and my brother, Shadow share a room with a bunkbed. He goes to the top bunk and I go to the bottom bunk.
"Moonlight..." Shadow started. "What if...What if people won't like us at school?"
I shrugged as the light from the moon shone inside our room.
"Don't know, I'll probably be sad. The people in Jamanakai accepted us, but I'm not sure about people that are not from the village," I said.
What's the problem we have? Well we have these red mark on our face, we're just glad it didn't take over our whole face, it's just half. The whole village accepted us, and me and Shadow are grateful for that.
"I'm worried, sis," Shadow said.
"So am I," I said as I tried to fall asleep. "But we can do nothing about it."
"That may be right," Shadow said as he dropped down to the floor on his feet, startling me a little since I did not expect him to do that.
"But we can do something to hide our faces," Shadow continued as he walked over to the window and looked outside.
I got out of bed and stood beside him, looking at the stars that stood above us.
"You might be right," I said. "And I hope so too..."
~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up in the morning and my eyes tried to adjust to the sunlight that peered through my room.
I groaned as I rolled out my bed and the moment I moved to the closet, Shadow fell down his bunk and landed face-to-face on the floor. I quietly winced.
"I'm a okay!" Shadow's voice muffled through the floor, and he picked himself up. I changed in the bathroom and he changed in our room.
We went downstairs and saw mom, dad, and Grandma.
"Morning," I greeted as I sat down next to Shadow.
"Morning you two," Mom said as she gave us each a peck on the cheek.
"What are we having for breakfast?" Shadow asked.
"Your mother is making bacon and eggs, so be patient," Dad said as he walked over to us and gave us a good morning hug.
A few minutes later, breakfast was served, I didn't eat much. I was nervous for school. Dad seemed to notice 'cause he then asked: "Moonlight, is something bothering you?"
I sighed as I placed my fork on the plate.
"Actually, there is," I responded.
"Would you like to tell us about it?" Grandma Misako asked.
I nodded.
"You know me and Shadow are...not normal. We have this red mark on our faces! The village might have accepted us, but what about people outside of the village? Will they...Will they hate us?"
Mom, dad, and Grandma look at each other.
"We don't know, sweetie, but I'll make sure that no one bothers you," Grandma said, which makes both me and Shadow smile.
After breakfast, me and Shadow brush our teeth and we get our backpacks.
It was early, 7:30am, and I thought of something. I told Shadow about my idea, and he told me that I should tell mom, and I agreed.
I walked over to mom, who was in the kitchen.
"Hey, mom?" I said.
"Yes?" Mom asked as she washed the dishes.
"Can me and Shadow have a cap on when we go to school?" I asked.
"Why?" Mom asked.
"I just wanna make sure that no one freaks out when they see the red mark on our faces," I said.
Mom thought about it before she sighed.
"Alright, tell your dad. He has some caps in his room," Mom said as I nodded.
I walked over to dad, who was in the living room reading a book.
"Hey, dad?" I said.
He looked down from his to me.
"Yes?"
"Mom said you have some caps in your room, can you get some for me and Shadow?" I asked.
"Of course, but why would you guys need a cap?" Dad asked.
"We don't wanna scare anyone just because of the red mark on our faces," I explained.
"Alright," Dad said and left to his room.
He came back a few minutes later, with two caps in his hand.
"Here you go," Dad said and gave me the two caps.
One was a dark green color, with light green dots, and the other was green with a purple heart in the center.
"Thanks, Dad!" I exclaimed and went back to Shadow.
He took the dark green cap while I took the green with the purple heart in the center cap. We placed the cap to cover our red mark.
It was now 7:45am, and me and Shadow went outside, and dad was waiting for us in the car.
We got in and we buckled up as the car moved away from the village. Me and Shadow look back at the village from the car, and we whispered a 'good-bye' to the village.
We look back at the front of the car and soon we see different buildings.
"Wow..." me and Shadow said in awe.
The car went to a stop. I nervously got out the car along with Shadow. Dad gave us a smile, which calmed us down, and me and Shadow walked over to dad as he walked us to the school gate.
"Have a great day of school," Dad said as we smiled and we entered the school.
Lloyd's P.O.V
I started to walk back. I bumped into two people.
"Sorry," I said and looked at the two.
I was stunned.
"Kai? Zane?"
They both looked at me.
"Lloyd?!" Kai said.
"Yes! It's me!" I exclaimed.
Both Zane and Kai hugged me and I hugged back.
"Lloyd? Kai? Zane?" a new voice said.
We all turned around.
"Cole?! Jay?!" Kai exclaimed.
"Oh. My. FIRST SPINJITZU MASTER!!! GUYS!!!" Jay exclaimed and hugged all of us along with Cole.
"I missed you guys!" Zane said.
"We did too!" Jay said, a few of happy tears running down his face.
"I-I can't belive we found each other!" I said, wiping a few happy tears away.
"Neither can I! I'm just happy to see you again, brothers," Zane said, all of us letting a few tears run down, and we smiled to each other.
