12|| The Rainbow Thug

-------------------------------------

"I'm out!" I kiss my mums cheek and skip to the front door.

"Leave your mark Luna!" She fist pumps the air and I smirk.

"I will."

I'm Luna and i'm here to leave my mark where ever I go.

I put my headphones on and set Oliver down.

"I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

So while you're here in my arms

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young"

I sing as I zig zag my board.

"We're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

Young hearts, out our minds

Running 'til we outta time

Wild child's lookin' good

Living hard just like we should

Don't care who's watching when we tearing it up

That magic that we got nobody can touch"

I see people up ahead and pause. They stare at me and I give a peace sign. They smile and I continue singing when I pass them.

"Looking for some trouble tonight

Take my hand, I'll show you the wild side

Like it's the last night of our lives

We'll keep dancing 'til we die

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

So while you're here in my arms,

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young"

I see a group of children up ahead and wave as they wave back with big smiles.

"Young hunks, taking shots

Stripping down to dirty socks

Music up, gettin' hot

Kiss me, give me all you've got

It's pretty obvious that you've got a crush

That magic in your pants, it's making me blush

Looking for some trouble tonight

Take my hand, I'll show you the wild side

Like it's the last night of our lives

We'll keep dancing 'til we die"

I'm happy being Luna. I love it. I love this colourful me. Luna makes me happy, confident, proud. I don't care what people think.

"I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

So while you're here in my arms,

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums

Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone

So while you're here in my arms

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

We're gonna die young

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young"

I take my earphones off and pick Oliver up.

"Hey guys." I say as I walk into the alley.

"Luna. Here." Mitsuo, an 'acquaintance' of mine, passes me a red spray paint.

"Thanks." I shake the can and look for an empty space.

Right in the centre of the wall, in big letters;

'ART IS NOT A CRIME'

I smile and spray on a K for Kisaki.

"Do you have green?" I ask and Mitsuo passes me a can.

I draw a circle around the K and start filling it in with the red and green.

"I've been wondering. Why do you do that?" Mitsuo points to my K.

"It's just my mark... I guess..." I shrug.

"I've been seeing those everywhere." He exaggerates.

"Well good." I hand the can back to him and he chuckles before continuing his piece. "Gotta roll." I place Oliver down.

"Hm. See ya." Mitsuo says, not taking his eyes off of the wall.

"Peace."

I take a turn to a busier part of town.

"I need new pencils." I mumble as I look around.

I hum and stop in front of the dollar store.

"Woah!"

I hear a commotion near by and see a crowd gathered around a limousine.

It's not every day you see a limousine in this part of town.

I shrug and walk into the store.

"Hello, how are you?" I greet the shopkeeper as I enter.

"Hm good good." The shopkeeper nods.

I give a small bow and walk toward the art section.

"Hehehe." I hear girls giggle next to me.

"I bet she got her hair from here."

Tsk. Why do people have to be so mean?

I grab a packet of pencils and walk toward the register with my head down.

"Oomph!" I bump into someone.

"Sorry!" I look up and...

"Oh! Sorry!"

"Irie-kun?" I blurt out.

"Hm? Do I-Luna?" His eyes widen and I look down.

Crap. Why did I say that?

"Wow." He smiles.

"H-Hi." I smile wryly.

"I like the hair." He points to my wig.

"Sure." I shrug.

"Honest." He holds his hand up in defence.

"Thanks." I look way from him and place the packet of pencils down.

"What're you doing here?" He asks.

"Pencils." I point to the packet and hand the shopkeeper money.

"Where do you live?" He suddenly asks.

"Uh-"

"Not trying to be creepy, just wondering, we could walk home together." He says and I felt my ears burn.

"Yawata road."

"Oh! My road's just two away!"

"Oh."

--Kaoru POV--

"Kaoru's already fallen hard for her!" Miya and Hikaru tease as we rode in the limousine to go find Kako a present.

My face burns.

"Can you two stop!"

"Oh shut up Kaoru! She's perfect for you!" Hikaru grins and ruffles my hair.

"Right?! She's pretty, kind, she's a great sister so she'll be a great mother too-"

"Can you not!" My face burns hotter.

She is beautiful though.

"You're always looking at her Kaoru!" Hikaru teases and Miya laughs.

"Hahaha!" They both continue to laugh as I sat there flustered.

"Why are we here?" Hikaru asks as he looks out the window.

"Uh. I wanted to get her a present."

"Why here?" Miya asks.

"Yeah. This is a commoner's town." Hikaru protests.

"What are you getting here?"

"... Stuff..." I scrunch up my nose.

"What?" Miya asks.

"None of your business."

"Calm down boy!" She laughs.

When we get out of the car a large crowd surrounded us.

"Are they celebrities?"

"Woah! They're so pretty!"

I walk into the store with Miya and Hikaru following behind.

"Woah!"

I look around the store.

"Oh! Hello!" A girl walks over to Hikaru, twirling her hair. "How can I assist you."

"You can't." Miya drags Hikaru away from her and my eyes stop on an old woman.

"Um excuse me." I walk up to her and she looks up.

"Good afternoon." She smiles.

"Hello..."

After getting what I needed we exited the store and the crowd was now gone.

"Alright did you get what you wanted?" Miya asks and I nod.

"Yeah."

"Let's go."

They both get into the limousine and just as I was about to go in, I see a flash of rainbow in the corner of my eyes. I turn around and see Kako exiting the dollar store with a plastic bag in hand.

"Oh. KA-" Just as I was about to call out to her, a boy, about the same height as Kyoya, exits the store and they smile at each other.

My heart sank as I watched them walk away with their backs facing me.

"Kako..."
